Happy Little Scholar

When Li Yi pushed the door open again and walked out, he habitually held Xiao Cui's head with his hand.

Knowing that she had the habit of leaning against the door to eavesdrop, she would probably fall to the ground if she suddenly lost her support.

The girl was thin-skinned after all. She was caught again. She looked at Li Yi a little embarrassed and said with a red face: "Mr. Li, are you leaving?"

"Let's go." Li Yi patted her head and walked out of the yard.

"Why don't you take that lover back and let her stay in the brothel alone, are you assured?" Next to the carriage, the sloppy old man was chattering. "Is it true that you are afraid of your wife as they say?"

Lao Fang ignored the sloppy old man because he was still thinking about the question just now.

Although he now claims to be a smart man, especially for the son-in-law, he sees it very thoroughly from the perspective of an outsider, but the question just now from the old man made it difficult for him to answer.

Li Yi got on the carriage and said, "Go to the palace."

Old Fang sniffed and smelled a faint fragrance. He shook his head and whipped the carriage, and the carriage started slowly.

When Li Yi stepped into the imperial garden, Emperor Jing was playing chess with Tsundere Lolita.

Maybe there was nothing to do in politics, the old emperor had more leisure time recently.

Tsundere Lolita rarely played beast chess with others now. She had realized that the rules of beast chess were made by herself. She had no rivals in the palace. Even if Li Yi met her, he would retreat.

They were playing Gobang. Li Yi stood by and watched for a while. He couldn't help but sigh that Tsundere Loli's mind was indeed agile. She seemed to have a high talent in all kinds of chess. When Emperor Jing placed a black piece in a position he thought was suitable, Tsundere Loli had already made it, and then said with a smile: "Father, you lost again. I can go out of the palace to play today..."

Emperor Jing waved his hand helplessly and said: "Shouning, you go play first. Father and the master have a few words."

Tsundere Loli stood up, blinked at Li Yi, and then ran away quickly.

Emperor Jing pointed to the chessboard in front of him and stretched out his hand and said: "Let's play a game?"

Let's play a game. If you can't beat Tsundere Loli, you can't beat him?

Emperor Jing still held the black chess piece, put a chess piece in the middle of the chessboard, and said: "Why are you here if you don't solve the problem of the academy?"

Li Yi didn't play along with him, and said straight to the point: "I want to ask your majesty for two calligraphy works."

"My calligraphy works?" Emperor Jing's face showed surprise. Although he was not a calligrapher, he was the king of a country after all. His calligraphy works were as valuable as anyone else's. He would often reward some meritorious officials on weekdays, but this was the first time someone asked him directly for them.

He naturally didn't think that Li Yi liked his calligraphy. In the whole Jing country, there were probably only a few people who could surpass him in calligraphy. The first thought that came to his mind at this moment was whether he wanted to sell it for money?

"If you beat me, I'll give it to you." The only thing that could bother him these days was the academy. However, since Mingzhu and Li Yi were involved in this matter, he didn't need to worry about it anymore. He just played chess to kill time.

Unlike the arrogant lolita, Emperor Jing is still very good at Gobang, even though he has only been playing this form of chess for a short time.

Li Yi had something on his mind, so he naturally couldn't concentrate on playing Gobang. His Gobang level was only average, and this thing was not something that could be done by digesting a few chess books. There were also various accidental factors. He was absent-minded at this time and actually lost three games in a row.

When collecting the chess pieces again, Emperor Jing glanced at him and said lightly: "Be more serious for me. If you can't beat me today, forget about the calligraphy."

The matter of the academy has almost fermented enough, and it's time to make the next plan.

Li Yi also planned to find the princess after getting his calligraphy. The two of them went out of the palace to do some things. They had wasted a lot of time just now, so how could they have time to play chess with him again, especially when he was at a disadvantage after half of the chess pieces were played, he knew that he couldn't go on like this, and it was time to show his real skills.

So he raised his head and stared at the sky behind Emperor Jing in a daze.

Emperor Jing looked at the chessboard and saw that he had not made any moves for a long time. He thought that he was thinking. He waited for a while and saw that he still hadn't made any moves. He raised his head and saw that Li Yi was staring straight ahead, as if there was something behind him.

Emperor Jing looked back and saw that there was nothing there.

He looked at Li Yi and asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

"There is a cloud there." Li Yi said.

"What's wrong with the cloud?" Emperor Jing's voice was even more puzzled.

"Cloud... Yes, what's wrong with the cloud? It's just a cloud..." Li Yi shook his head and retracted his sight. The chess piece in his hand finally landed on a certain position on the chessboard.

He looked at Emperor Jing and smiled, "Your Majesty, you lost."

Emperor Jing lowered his head and looked at the white chess pieces on the chessboard, which had already formed a five-star chain. He seemed to have thought of something. He looked back at the sky behind him again. That cloud------the sky was as blue as a wash, where did the cloud come from!

He looked back at Li Yi, "Where are the clouds you mentioned?"

Li Yi looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion, "What clouds?"

...

...

The old emperor finally admitted defeat and gave Li Yi what he wanted.

He had originally wanted to ask for a few more and sell them when he was short of money, but the old emperor looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, so he had to let him write a few words as planned and then leave.

Through this incident, I discovered another thing.

The old emperor is not a good chess player, and he can't afford to lose...

Li Yi rubbed the head of the arrogant loli and said, "Be good, today the master and your sister have something to do, so they can't play with you. You just stay in the palace..."

"No, Yongning was summoned by the queen, and there is no one to play with me..." The arrogant loli hugged Li Yi's arm, and her voice was filled with tears, "I'm alone in the palace, very lonely..."

Such a young child actually knows loneliness. Li Yi couldn't say no anyway, so he could only nod helplessly and said, "Then follow me."

The crying tone in the arrogant loli's voice disappeared immediately, and an excited expression appeared on her face, "Then let's go find the sister now!"

Li Yi was led by her to the Morning Dew Palace in a daze, and felt that the world had lost even the only sincerity.

Women who practice martial arts generally maintain a good figure. If they are the kind who are obsessed with martial arts, they don't even have any extra things, as if they are natural.

Of course, those who are born with deficiencies in certain aspects are unlikely to make up for certain defects through martial arts training. The flesh on the body can be less, but it will never be more.

Knowing that she has only drunk the soup for a few days, it should not have much effect, Li Yi still has a faint illusion, and his eyes subconsciously look at a certain part of the body of the princess who is dancing with the sword.

Women are always particularly sensitive to certain parts of their own bodies, and can easily feel other people's sight.

The speed of the princess who was dancing with the sword suddenly increased. Li Yi stretched out his hand, clamped a long sword with his middle finger and index finger, and smiled: "Don't make trouble."

She didn't have any malicious intentions. The sword speed was not fast and the direction was straight. Li Yi felt that the scene of clamping her sword blade with his hand must be very cool.

"Sir, you are so powerful!" The arrogant loli always cooperates like this, with little stars flashing in her eyes, and the admiring eyes made his vanity a little satisfied.

Li Mingzhu put away the sword, looked at him, and asked, "Where is the stuff?"

"What?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and said, "The soup takes a long time to cook. I was in a hurry to come out today and didn't have time to prepare it. Maybe next time..."

The arrogant loli shook Li Yi's arm and said in a delicate voice, "Sir, the emperor sister didn't let me drink the soup you brought her. Can you bring some to Shouning in the future..."

Li Yi pinched her little face and said, "No, children can't drink this kind of soup..."

Li Mingzhu blushed slightly. He really knew the effect of that kind of soup, so, was he-----disliking himself?

She glared at him with a very obscure look, walked over, and opened the thing he put on the table.

"Father's handwriting?" Looking at the four big characters "Mingzhu Academy" written on the paper, she couldn't help but exclaimed softly.

Li Yi was having a headache about how to explain to the arrogant loli why that soup can only be drunk by older girls and not younger girls. This was originally a false proposition, because it would be more effective for younger girls who were still growing up than for older girls, but he couldn't really explain it that way...

Seeing her pick up the paper, he took the opportunity to walk over and said, "In the future, whether it is Kyoto or other prefectures, the academies established will be called Mingzhu Academy. The implication is that these academies are designed to cultivate talents as bright as pearls for the country..."

The name of the academy is also very particular. Using pearls to describe talents is very appropriate, easy to understand and meaningful. Li Yi gave the academy this name, of course-----not for this reason.

He wants the students studying in these academies to know that they can get rid of their poor lives, sit in bright schools, have the opportunity to enter the court as officials to bring honor to their ancestors, and compete fairly with those powerful peers...

They can have all these, all given by one person.

This person is called Li Mingzhu, the eldest princess of Jingguo.
