Happy Little Scholar

At this point, the Great Court Meeting is almost coming to an end.

There were so many things that happened in this year's court meeting, which can be said to be full of twists and turns. The unsolved case of more than 20 years ago, Cui's conviction, the mystery of the life experience of the eldest princess and Crown Prince Li Xuan, the confirmation of the position of the East Palace, and the future situation of the court. Then it settled down...

The prince has been established, and the country is stable; the princess assists the government, and the court is stable.

All the unstable factors in Jinghe's four years have been cleared away today.

There is no doubt that starting from the fifth year of Jinghe, Jingguo will usher in a new era that no emperor of the past has ever created.

The last item of the annual meeting is the reward for those who have made meritorious services in the past year.

Jingguo is currently undergoing reforms in full swing, and many of its measures have already begun to bear fruit. The eldest princess is good at employing people and has dedicated personnel. In the past year, outstanding talents have emerged in various fields, so much so that the imperial court will The last item is half an hour longer than in previous years.

Many people have received generous rewards. There are no longer promotions in the court, but there are no longer a few people who have been promoted to official positions.

Among them, the reward for Li County Marquis was only a few words and not very generous, but everyone was not surprised by this.

In the past year, Li Xianhou did not do anything earth-shattering as usual.

That's because his actions have penetrated into all aspects. To this day, no one in the court knows that Jing Guoyou's current progress is mostly due to the eldest princess, and he is the person standing behind Her Royal Highness.

His shadow is behind almost every decree and measure of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

His contribution is huge, but he no longer needs a reward.

In terms of title, at such a young age, he has already been granted the title of Marquis. One step further is the limit that a foreign minister can reach.

In terms of official position, he is already the Jin Ziguanglu doctor, a third-rank official in the imperial court. Although he has a false title, he has real power.

On relationships…

He is Your Majesty's most trusted minister. As long as Your Majesty is still here, no one can touch him.

The current prince and future emperor were his best friends. The officials could no longer imagine how close they were.

The current princess, whose status was only lower than that of the prince, had always had an unclear relationship with him. It was impossible to tell who was in front of whom, who was behind whom, who was above and who was below.

He no longer needs to improve his status through promotion and title. Such a person has long become an insurmountable mountain for all officials and dignitaries.

Li Yi didn't care at all about these rewards. In fact, he didn't even remember what the eunuch read just now.

Old fox, really an old fox.

I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Li Xuan would become the prince and inherit the throne. Who would have thought that something like this would happen again.

The good Princess Pearl has become Princess Pearl again...

She is still the Princess Mingzhu who is assisting the government. What is the difference between this and before?

With Li Xuan's temperament, can he sit in that position? Even after he became the emperor, he had enough power to open the door to the Academy of Sciences. All court affairs must be left to Mingzhu. Anyway, isn't there an imperial edict? Who is in charge and who is in charge? How can there be a person here? Obvious boundaries…

The big court meeting is coming to an end soon, and only the last ceremony is left.

Some courtiers obviously still have a lot of resentment towards the Marquis of Li County. No one knew what His Majesty was thinking about what was originally a vague matter. They did not dare to act rashly before the big meeting, just because he beat King Xin and closed the matter. After receiving the courtesy from King Qi, some people clearly stood on King Qi's side.

As a result, King Qi's horse stumbled, and they also fell miserably.

Li Yi was already depressed. Feeling the gaze beside him, he turned his head and said viciously: "What are you looking at? If you look again, if you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"

The official shuddered and immediately retracted his neck.

After all, the other party has become the person with the deepest background in this dynasty. Even the prince cannot afford to offend him, and they can't afford to offend them even more...

…

After the great court meeting, officials from all over the country also moved around and stayed until after the Lantern Festival.

The matter of establishing a prince should not only be talked about in the court. Such important events of the country should be announced to the world. Notices should be posted on the palace walls and city gates. In just half a day, everyone in Kyoto knew that the identity of the eldest son and the status of the royal family The secrets, the position of the East Palace... these are topics of great interest to the people.

Li Yi seemed a little uninterested.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, with Li Xuan taking the position and Mingzhu assisting the government, no one in the entire Kyoto and the entire Jing Kingdom can stop what they want to do.

There were no obstacles, no enemies, myself...it seemed like there was really nothing to do.

He has no intention of joining the court and does not want to be promoted to a higher position. When his business reaches this level, money is just a number to him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is at the pinnacle of his life. According to the conventional routine, he will continue to work hard. Go up, maybe all that is left is to pull Li Xuan down from his seat and sit on it himself...

However, this was too cheap for him to consider.

By the way, he also promised Ruyi that he would go to Wu Kingdom to see her young apprentice, and he couldn't go alone. Kyoto has been a really boring place to stay in these past few years. By the way, he would take Ruyi and the others on a sightseeing tour. , look at this world...

Of course, before that, at least Zui Mo must be married home in a dignified manner, and then Ruo Qing...

He took back what he just said, obviously he still had something to do.

"Xiaohuan..."

From morning to now, he just finished a bowl of porridge and was a little hungry. Li Yi called Xiaohuan a few times out of habit, and then realized that Xiaohuan Ruyi and Zuimo had gone out in the morning. During the New Year's Day, there were For some inevitable gatherings and entertainments, Ruyi used to take Xiaohuan with her. Zuimo, as the second wife of the Li family, naturally had to go with her this year.

"Master Li, what's the matter?" Xiaohuan didn't respond, but saw Xiaozhu running out of the room in a hurry.

"Go and tell the kitchen to cook a few dishes and bring them over, along with a pot of wine..."

"Okay, I'll go now!" Xiaozhu responded and ran back in a hurry.

Li Yi was startled and reminded: "The kitchen is outside, you ran the wrong way..."

…

In a clean and tidy room, a beautiful woman sat at the table and slowly turned the pages of the book.

"Sister Ruoqing..." Light footsteps came from the door, and the girl knocked on the door and walked in.

Ruoqing put down the book, turned to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaozhu rolled his eyes and said: "Master Li is hungry. He said he wants to eat the food cooked by the lady..."

Ruo Qing stood up and came over, pinched her nose and said, "He wouldn't say that. You want to eat it yourself, right?"

Xiaozhu smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't it for his sake? After all, he also likes to eat the food cooked by Sister Ruoqing..."

Ruoqing shook her head helplessly and said, "You go and play by yourself for a while, I'll cook."

Xiaozhu smiled and nodded, watching her walk out the door, the smile on her face disappeared, she sighed, and shook her head helplessly.

My young lady is really stupid, and Mr. Li is also a big fool. It is obviously a good opportunity for the two of them to be alone together, but they are actually reading a book in the room alone, and sitting alone in the yard in a daze...

When can these two people save themselves from worry...

However, when it comes to just eating, something seems to be missing...

Yes, the wine is missing.

The weather was cold and the grape wine needed to be warmed before drinking. The Li family had a special wine cellar. Xiaozhu ran over and a servant in the room immediately said: "Sister Xiaozhu, what can I do?"

In the hearts of all the servants, Miss Xiaohuan, Miss Xiaocui and Miss Xiaozhu are different from other maids and must be treated with respect.

"Well, if you adults want to drink, help me get a pot of grape wine."

"I'll get it right away..."

"Wait a minute..."

The servant turned around and asked doubtfully: "Sister Xiaozhu, what else can you do?"

Xiaozhu thought for a while and said: "Get another small jar of strong liquor - the strongest one."
