Happy Little Scholar

Li Yi lay on the rocking chair, and the maid put two peeled eggs on his eyes and rolled them gently.

Yesterday, he sat in the yard until the middle of the night and finally felt a little sleepy. Li Yi felt that it was time to consider sleeping in separate rooms with Ruyi.

Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep in the future.

"Son-in-law, are we moving soon?" The maid put down the eggs, moved her little hand on his head, and said softly.

Li Yi nodded: "Well, you pack your things in the next two days, and we will move to the city soon."

The maid nodded obediently. For her, as long as she could be with the son-in-law and the lady, it didn't matter where she moved.

"Squeak...", Miss Liu's door opened and she walked out of the room. Xiaohuan looked down at her son-in-law with dark circles under his eyes, then looked at her, picked up the two boiled eggs and shook them, "Miss Liu, do you want eggs?"

Yang Liuqing was probably the outsider that Miss Liu treated most attentively. In fact, since she became Ruyi's disciple, Li Yi had never treated her as an outsider.

She left without saying goodbye, even he felt a little uncomfortable, let alone Miss Liu.

He still planned to find out the ins and outs of this matter.

...

"Yang Liuqing, your little disciple of Miss Liu?" Li Mingzhu ate the shrimp fried rice that Li Yi brought over and looked up at him, "What's wrong with her?"

"Please help me check if there is anyone with the same name and surname as her in the royal family or nobles of Wu State." Li Yi said, then opened his mouth, and the arrogant loli put a peeled shrimp into his mouth.

This is not the era of the later generations with developed Internet, where you can easily search for the required information on the Internet. It would be more troublesome for Li Yi to do this himself.

The royal family always has some special channels, of course, these are not easily accessible to Li Yi.

Li Mingzhu nodded, looked at the white-haired old woman beside her, and said: "Please come over, Madam."

The old woman nodded, looked at Li Yi meaningfully, and turned away.

The arrogant loli peeled a shrimp for Li Yi again, then hugged his arm and said in a delicate voice: "Sir, please take us out of the palace today, okay..."

The arrogant loli, who is already thirteen and almost fourteen years old, has begun to develop her body, and naturally needs to pay more attention to some behaviors. Concubine Yan usually teaches her etiquette strictly, but when she sees Li Yi, she reveals her playful nature and loses all the royal manners.

Seeing that Li Yi was unmoved, she quickly winked at Yongning who was gnawing on the ribs on the other side.

Although Yongnian is young, he has always been Shouning's little follower. He can understand what she means with just one look. He put down his ribs, hugged Li Yi's other arm, blinked his watery eyes, and looked at him pitifully.

Who can resist these two pairs of innocent big eyes that are extremely cute? Li Yi sighed slightly and nodded helplessly.

"Sir, you are the best!"

The arrogant loli jumped up and kissed him on the face with a "slap". When there were no outsiders, she returned to her little girl's temperament.

Yongning also came over, with grease on her mouth, and kissed Li Yi on the other side of his face with a blushing face.

Although she is much younger than the arrogant loli, because of her experience, she has to be a little quieter and is far less playful than her.

"Yongning, hurry up, let's go change clothes!"

The arrogant loli pulled Yongning out of the Morning Dew Palace, and a group of palace maids followed in a panic, shouting "Your Highness, slow down"...

Liang Fei died early, Yongning was young, and she would be scared to live alone in the palace, so Li Yi suggested to the old emperor that she and the arrogant loli be taught by Yan Fei. Although Shouning is playful, she still takes good care of this sister.

Li Mingzhu put down the bowl, looked at him, and asked: "Have you seen the father today?"

"No."

Li Yi shook his head. He came here today mainly to ask her about Yangliuqing, and also to see Yongning and the arrogant loli, and did not see the old emperor.

Li Mingzhu suddenly looked at him, concealing the hope in her eyes, and asked: "Is there really no way to treat the father's health?"

In her heart, he is still the omnipotent Li Yi who can solve everything.

Li Yi's action of peeling shrimps stagnated, and the atmosphere became a little depressing.

The old emperor's illness, even in later generations, is incurable. He has tried his best to change it, but he can only slow down or slightly extend his life. He is not a god, and he is powerless.

Li Yi sighed and said, "If you can move out of the palace, put aside all political affairs, and take care of yourself, the situation may be much better."

Although it is impossible to cure this disease, it will not kill you immediately. It is very important to keep your mood comfortable. The palace is like a huge cage, too depressing and lacking in popularity. Even though most of the government affairs are now handed over to the two prime ministers, a country is so big. As an emperor, there are too many things to deal with every day.

When Li Yi talks to him, he often ignores his identity as an emperor. Occasionally, he jokes and treats him as a way of adjustment. This is the tacit understanding they have developed over a long period of time, but the effect is only temporary.

If the old emperor could immediately take off the burden on his shoulders and find a quiet place outside Kyoto with beautiful mountains and rivers to spend his old age, lie in the yard and bask in the sun when he is free, go to Goulan to listen to the opera and have fun with the old man when he feels like it. I often find two legs to play mahjong, or find a few old ladies to dance in the square. I dare not say that I will live a long life. There is absolutely no problem in living for a few more years.

But Li Yi couldn't mention this method, and neither could the imperial doctors. Even they knew it very well in their hearts.

"Father, he is very tired..." Li Mingzhu lowered his head, his face darkened slightly, but then he raised his head and said seriously: "I will advise my father well."

Li Yi nodded, fearing that she was the only one who could mention these things to the old emperor.

There was a brief silence between the two, and then there were footsteps approaching from far away.

The white-haired old woman came over, holding a thick stack of books in her arms and placing them on the table.

"This is all the information about Wu Kingdom."

Li Mingzhu looked at Li Yi and said, "Take these books back and read them slowly. Remember to come back after reading them."

"It doesn't take much effort to find someone." Li Yi shook his head. Since these books are not open to the public, it is better to keep them here to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to her.

He picked up a book and flipped the pages at random, so fast that the old woman standing nearby couldn't see clearly.

In two breaths, he picked up another book and repeated the action just now.

Li Mingzhu had already seen how fast he read, so she was no longer surprised by it.

"What are you doing?" The white-haired old woman on the side looked at him with confusion on her face.

Li Yi replied casually: "Read a book."

"Can you remember this?" The old woman was puzzled.

At this speed, she couldn't even read the writing on the page clearly.

"Just looking for something, no need to remember it." Li Yi couldn't tell her that even the action of turning the pages of the book was superfluous. As long as he touched these books, all the contents would be remembered in his mind, so what else could he do? Don't be viewed as a monster.

In the white-haired old woman's eyes, which looked like a monster, she didn't know which book she had turned, the sound of turning pages finally disappeared, and Li Yi's eyes stopped on a certain page.

"Found it." He looked at some of the information recorded on it and his eyes narrowed slightly.
