Happy Little Scholar

Seeing Li Yi holding Yongning's hand and walking in from outside, Emperor Jing felt a little depressed. His daughter was more intimate with an outsider than with himself. For a father, this was not something to be happy about.

However, thinking that if it weren't for Li Yi, her amnesia would not be cured, and he was afraid that he would never hear her "Father" until he died, he felt much better.

"Yongning, come to your side." Emperor Jing waved to Yongning with a pleasant face. The little girl looked up at Li Yi and then walked up with small steps.

Li Xuan leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say you were not interested in these things? Why are you here again?"

Li Yi glanced at the person above and said nothing.

If it weren't for the person above, he would still be busy catching sheep in the green grassland, so how could he have time to care about these trivial matters.

Li Xuan didn't have a chance to say a second word to Li Yi, Dong Wenyun came over and whispered: "This time I recommended you to His Majesty, tell me the truth, how do you think Zhao Xiuwen of Qi compares to you?"

Li Yi then knew why he was suddenly summoned to the palace during his confinement. It turned out that he was betrayed by this guy. After all, they were from the same place. Wouldn't he feel guilty for betraying his fellow countryman?

Li Yi didn't answer Dong Wenyun, because after Emperor Jing asked Princess Yongning to sit next to him, he asked Li Yi directly: "It's urgent, I won't say more, just ask you one question, if you are allowed to participate in this competition today, how likely are you to win?"

Hearing what Emperor Jing said, Wei Siye raised his head, and Qin Xiang seemed to remember something. Dong Wenyun's eyes turned slightly, and the faces of the others were a little surprised. Could it be that His Majesty was going to let this Li County Master participate in this second competition?

"This, this poem, I actually only know a little bit..." Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and said slowly: "Moreover, writing poems and lyrics also depends on the state and mood at the moment, how can there be any certainty..."

"What Li said is right." General Xue, who was dozing on the pillar, finally opened his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Isn't it just writing two poems? What's the difference? I just think that the "highest poet" wrote shit, who dares to have an opinion?"

Li Yi deeply agreed with this, worthy of being General Xue, this is the domineering attitude that a big country should have.

No matter how good Zhao Xiuwen's poems are, this is Jingguo, it is their own territory. Who dares to say that Wei Siye's poems are not as good as Zhao Xiuwen's? Just drag him out and bury him. Bury a dozen people, and everyone's opinions will be unified. Why make so much trouble?

Qin Xiang frowned, as if he was too lazy to discuss this matter with General Xue, and simply kept silent.

The civil officials smiled bitterly. Since ancient times, there is no first place in literature. Everyone has their own preferences. General Xue's words seem to make sense, but he thinks that all the civil and military officials in the court, including His Majesty, are as shameless as him?

"General Xue is wrong. If it is true, then won't my Jing country become a laughing stock among all the countries?" The Minister of Rites is a gray-haired old man, frowning and saying.

"Who dares to laugh at him?" General Xue glared, and the next words of the Minister of Rites were held back.

Emperor Jing touched Yongning's head, watching the atmosphere in the hall become messy again, stroking his chest, and the feeling of suffocation appeared again.

After all, he didn't sleep enough in the morning. Li Yi yawned and was ready to take a nap while they were discussing. Suddenly, he noticed that his sleeves were pulled by someone. Li Mingzhu walked to his side, looked at him and said, "We can't lose today. You should be serious. I know you have a way."

"Low-key, low-key..." Li Yi stretched out his hand and pressed down, indicating that she should speak more quietly.

Isn't General Xue's method the best one? Fists are the hard truth. If you don't accept it, come and fight. If Qi is really powerful, it will take a few punishments from heaven first...

"When you beat the King of Shu, did you ever think about keeping a low profile?" Li Mingzhu glanced at him and said.

"I think so." Li Yi said hesitantly.

If he hadn't thought about keeping a low profile at that time, what the officials saw would not be Li Xianzi beating the King of Shu, but Li Xianzi beating the King of Shu to death.

"Li Yi, the county magistrate of Chang'an, come out with me." Emperor Jing suddenly stood up and pointed at Li Yi.

After that, he walked to the back hall by himself. After Li Yi was stunned for a moment, he looked at Li Xuan and then at Li Mingzhu. Seeing that they were also suspicious, he could only follow them in confusion.

After the Qinzheng Hall was the garden that Li Yi often went to. When Li Yi followed Changde there, Emperor Jing was standing in the stone pavilion in the garden.

"Is there really no chance of winning?" Emperor Jing looked back at him and asked.

"It's difficult..." Li Yi sighed.

Emperor Jing showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then said: "I heard from Xuan'er that you want to take Yongning out of the palace?"

Although he didn't know why the old emperor suddenly mentioned this, Li Yi's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, the atmosphere in the palace is too depressing, not suitable for the treatment of Princess Yongning. If her amnesia relapses, even I can't do anything."

"Yongning is a princess of a country, how noble is her status, how can she leave the palace easily?" Emperor Jing shook his head and said: "Even if I agree, the officials in the court will not agree, and the censors will not agree."

Li Yi's face showed a trace of helplessness. He certainly knew that it was not so easy for a young prince to leave the palace. If something happened, I'm afraid the whole Kyoto would cause a huge shock.

Yongning is too young now. From the emperor to the court officials, no one will agree to her leaving the palace. He is just thinking about it.

"If you win this competition, I will allow you to take Yongning out of the palace for a month, but her range of activities is limited to ten miles around the Viscount's Mansion."

Hearing what Emperor Jing said, Li Yi's expression froze, his eyes gleamed, and he raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty, are you serious!"

"How sure are you now?" I didn't expect that he had changed so much before and after. After a moment of shock, Emperor Jing looked at him and asked with a smile.

Li Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "How do you want them to die, Your Majesty?"

...

...

"I am really a failure as an emperor. I have to rely on the help of children again and again. The first two times were Han'er, and this time it was Yongning..." Emperor Jing said with a smile, his face full of worry.

"Your Majesty, this kid is too unreasonable. Can't he take the initiative to stand up and share your worries?" Chang De, who was always calm, rarely showed a trace of annoyance on his face: "If Your Majesty hadn't brought up Princess Yongning this time, I'm afraid he would have hidden for who knows when."

"Isn't the result the same?" Emperor Jing smiled and said without any disapproval.
