Happy Little Scholar

"Master Tanyin has profound Buddhist knowledge. Even the Queen Mother has praised him highly. You must never be disrespectful to him in the future. Tianlai 『Novel』 the old lady warned Li Yi.

The actions of a high monk cannot be judged by common sense. Master Tanyin is willing to condescend to be friends with his own children. It is a blessing for the Li family. You must not be proud of it, otherwise you will be stabbed in the back by all the believers.

Li Yi could only nod his head in agreement. The old lady said this a little late. She had already been disrespectful. What's more, Master Tanyin, who has profound Buddhist knowledge, is not really detached from the world. He eats, drinks, defecates and urinates just like ordinary people. He is just a little smarter and can recite a few more sutras than ordinary people. He also has desires and requests. The sutras promised to him have not been copied yet. The old monk will never care about the issue of respect.

It is not a bad thing to make friends with Master Tanyin. The full house of guests is still there. The old lady will not continue to dwell on this matter. The procedures that should be followed have been completed, and it is time to start eating.

"Eat more food, look at how thin you are..." The old lady picked up food for Miss Liu who was sitting next to her. She was the only one in the Li family who had such an honor.

Except for Ruyi, the whole room was full of elders. The atmosphere was very dull for a while. It would be better to sit with the little fat man. It was free and lively.

After taking two bites of food from the plate in front of her, a steward of the Li family hurried over and whispered a few words in the ear of her second uncle Li Mingze.

"Prince Ning, sent someone to celebrate the old lady's birthday?" Li Mingze stood up from his seat with a look of surprise.

"Cough!" Li Yi almost spit out a mouthful of tea, but he was choked. He turned around and coughed continuously.

"What prince?" The old lady put down his chopsticks and asked.

Li Mingze's face was full of confusion, and he said: "Prince Ning, the inspector of Gyeonggi Province appointed by His Majesty a few days ago------sent someone to celebrate the birthday."

The hands of several guests at the neighboring table paused.

Prince Ning is the brother of the current emperor, the most powerful prince in Jing State. His fiefdom is only in Qing'an Prefecture, the secondary capital, which is slightly inferior to Kyoto. This shows how much His Majesty values ​​him.

Prince Ning married Wang's daughter as his princess a few days ago. The Wang family has lasted for hundreds of years and has survived many dynasties. It has a deep foundation and is one of the most powerful families in the entire Jing State. With such a background, His Royal Highness would actually send someone to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of the Li family?

Could it be that the Li family and Prince Ning's Mansion also have a relationship?

Everyone had a lot of guesses in their minds, but they didn't know that Li Mingze, the head of the Li family, was also full of doubts. He didn't dare to neglect it and went out to greet her in person.

A few black lines appeared on Li Yi's forehead. What did Li Xuan want to do? Did he think that the old lady's birthday was not big enough?

The only thing to be thankful for was that he didn't come in person, otherwise, after the birthday banquet, he didn't know how many "interrogations" he would receive.

The Prince's Mansion sent a steward, which was considered to be giving enough face to the Li family. Many people were wondering what his identity was, and why Li Mingze had to greet him in person with an obviously respectful attitude, when news came from the other side.

"It's actually the Prince of Ning. How could the Li family..."

Although the Prince of Ning had only been in everyone's sight for a short time, the things related to him left a deep impression on everyone.

Married the daughter of the Wang family, served as the Supervisor of Gyeonggi Province, and implicated the capital magistrate Chen Yue for favoritism and perverting the law, causing him to be exiled to another state. Next, the Prince's Mansion sent someone to celebrate the old lady's birthday.

They thought they knew the Li family very well, but today they found that the Li family seemed to be far more mysterious than they showed.

Before the guests from the Prince's Mansion sat down, the steward of the Li family came over again in a daze, looking at Li Mingze with a somewhat wooden expression.

"Master, Princess Yong, Princess Yongle, people from the Princess' Mansion..."

Pah!

Li Mingze looked shocked, and countless chopsticks fell to the ground around him.

Princess Yongle, the only legitimate daughter of His Majesty and the Queen, the eldest princess of Jingguo, was extremely pampered since childhood, the only princess who did not marry after adulthood and stayed in the palace, a true royal noble - is this still the declining Li family in their impression?

I am afraid that when the Li family was at its most glorious, it did not have such a big face!

Li Yi put down his chopsticks and covered his face with both hands. He finally figured out what the strange smiles on the faces of the two people meant when they parted.

Li Yi felt mixed emotions. Her Royal Highness said that there was a way to solve the difficulties faced by the Li family and ensure that no one would dare to easily cause trouble for the Li family after Li Yi left. Is this the method?

The troubles of the Li family are much smaller. The prince and the princess sent gifts on the birthday of the old lady of the Li family. This is a very obvious signal to outsiders.

The Li family is protected by the prince and the princess. Whoever wants to touch the Li family should first consider whether they can afford to provoke such a behemoth at the same time.

After the birthday banquet, the task of explaining to the whole family fell on him.

The people from the Prince's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion both arrived, and even the old lady couldn't sit still. When did the Li family have a relationship with them? Not only the guests were curious, but even the old lady was very curious. This was even more shocking than the shock that Master Tan Yin brought to them.

"You two, I wonder if the prince and the princess..." The two people from the Prince's Mansion and the Princess' Mansion had obviously made an appointment. Li Mingze looked at the two people and was interrupted by the young man from the Princess' Mansion when he was halfway through his words.

"We are just following orders. The two princes have instructed not to disturb the old lady's birthday banquet. Minister Li and the old lady don't need to care about us."

The doubts and surprises in Li Mingze's heart were about to reach the peak.

Master Tanyin, Prince Ning, Princess Yongle, these three people who originally had no connection with the Li family, all showed up tonight, and acted in a surprisingly consistent manner, just sending gifts and telling him not to worry about it------How could he not care, among these people, which one can the Li family afford to offend?

"Mr. Li, can you please have a word with me?" Just when Li Mingze was a little at a loss, the man from the Princess's Mansion stepped forward and said to a young man behind the crowd.

"Yier?" Li Mingze looked back at Li Yi, then at the two people opposite him. After a brief moment of shock, a hint of enlightenment suddenly appeared on his face.

"Second uncle, grandma, I'll leave first." Li Yi said awkwardly, and walked towards a remote corner.

The steward of the Prince's Mansion and the men of the Princess's Mansion all followed him.

"Yier, there are still many things we don't know..." The old lady murmured as she watched the three people leave.

Seeing this scene, everything that happened tonight was explained.

Master Tan Yin, Prince Ning, Princess Yongle, why did these people who obviously had no relationship with the Li family appear at her birthday party? After all, she knew too little about this grandson whom she met for the first time in twenty years.
