Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The next day, Fang Zheng Yi got up very late again.

Anyway, no one knew he was back in the capital, so going early would only be asking for trouble. He might as well delay it as long as possible.

It wasn't until noon that he leisurely got out of bed, got dressed, had lunch, and then took a carriage with a package to the palace.

When he arrived at the East Palace, he immediately saw the bored Li Yuan Zhao and Liu Jin, who was serving him.

When the two of them heard the eunuch's report, they both looked towards Fang Zheng Yi with surprise.

Especially Liu Jin, whose eyes were shining.

The savior had finally arrived... I wonder if there will be a chance this time.

Li Yuan Zhao grinned and went up to him: "Old Fang, you're finally back! I've been so bored these days! It's been like being half-dead. Let me see what specialties you brought."

Fang Zheng Yi shook his head and smiled, going straight to the table to sit down: "Your Highness, don't be anxious! I brought you a lot of good things!"

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his package and opened it.

"Little Cow Beef Jerky!"

"Oh?" Li Yuan Zhao looked at the beef jerky with surprise, hesitating: "Little cow...? Aren't we not allowed to eat beef...? Did your county slaughter a cow?"

"Does Wu Sheng know about this?" "He knows."

"This person moved to Taoyuan County and hasn't changed his nature. He actually committed adultery with a cow in the county. The cow couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide, and then it was made into beef jerky. There's a slaughter certificate!" As he spoke, Fang Zheng Yi took out a slaughter certificate from his package.

Although the county often slaughters cattle, they all have certificates. Fang Zheng Yi does this very thoroughly, printing a batch of slaughter certificates every month.

Li Yuan Zhao listened with amusement, feeling comfortable in his heart.

Liu Jin, with his clumsy tongue, only knows how to flatter and fawn. It's still Old Fang's nonsense that's good to listen to.

Then, Li Yuan Zhao said with great interest: "Tell me, what new things are there in Taoyuan County?"

"There are! The county recently released a stage play called 'Siheyuan's Ancient Tomb Mystery'. It's extremely exciting. I'll take Your Highness to see it when I have time. And there's..."

The two of them chatted casually, while Liu Jin kept staring at Fang Zheng Yi with shining eyes.

Fang Zheng Yi had already noticed it out of the corner of his eye, and he started to feel uneasy being stared at by Liu Jin. After a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and stared back unceremoniously.

Liu Jin was still staring.

Fang Zheng Yi was puzzled in his heart, and then after a little thought, he remembered that Liu Jin might still be thinking of asking me to help him regenerate his 'little buddy'?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng Yi smiled dumbly and took out a magnifying glass from his package.

Li Yuan Zhao asked curiously when he saw it: "Old Fang, what is this?"

Fang Zheng Yi held up the magnifying glass and said triumphantly: "This magical artifact is called the 'Little Buddy Regeneration Mirror', a grain amplifier that can have the effect of quenching thirst with plums and satisfying hunger with painted cakes!"

"Liu Jin! This one is for you, use it to magnify whatever's short!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he was overjoyed! He snatched the magnifying glass and ran away drooling.

Li Yuan Zhao touched his chin, wondering: "Quenching thirst with plums... satisfying hunger with painted cakes? Isn't that useless!??"

Fang Zheng Yi smiled slightly and took out another one, holding it over Li Yuan Zhao's cup.

The cup suddenly became bigger! Li Yuan Zhao was stunned, and then said with delight: "This is a good thing!"

Fang Zheng Yi handed the magnifying glass over, and Li Yuan Zhao began to shine it around everywhere, making exclamations of praise every time he shone it on something.

"Good thing! It's really a good thing! Father has been complaining about not being able to see things clearly these past two years. If he had this mirror, wouldn't it be much easier to read memorials?"

Fang Zheng Yi couldn't help but feel a little moved. He really didn't expect that the first thing the prince thought of was to give it to His Majesty. It was truly commendable filial piety.

"It's just right to cure his presbyopia! I've been inexplicably beaten a lot these days!"

"................."

"Come, come, come, I'll teach Your Highness a new way to play with this magnifying glass." Fang Zheng Yi quickly changed the subject. If he continued to talk, it would be too much filial piety.

Fang Zheng Yi took Li Yuan Zhao's magnifying glass and went outdoors, finding a place with good sunlight.

After focusing it, he placed it there, and soon a wisp of smoke rose from the grass.

Li Yuan Zhao exclaimed again, and then asked in confusion: "What's the principle behind this!??"

"It's just concentrating the sunlight in one place. When the heat rises, it ignites. This is called solar energy!"

Li Yuan Zhao nodded in confusion, but soon stopped thinking about it. The two of them began to lie on the grass looking for ants.

Before long, Liu Jin ran back with a mournful face, as if his parents had died, holding up the magnifying glass and crying: "Sir Fang... this is useless!"

"How is it useless! Did it get bigger after you shone it?"

Liu Jin rubbed his eyes, aggrieved: "It got bigger, it just looks bigger, it's still broken!"

Fang Zheng Yi sighed, got up and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "That's just how it is! Anyway, you can't use it in the palace. Looking big is the same as being really big."

"Little Jin, don't be discouraged. That's how life is. Everything has flaws, how can there be perfection?"

"Besides, when you get old, the memories will all be sweet. Eunuchs live longer, so you can have a few more years of sweetness than others! And if you miss your brother, you can still shine the magnifying glass on it."

"As the saying goes, a loss may turn out to be a blessing..."

"Liar!"

Before Fang Zheng Yi could finish speaking, Liu Jin ran away crying with the magnifying glass...

Li Yuan Zhao stood up, having had his fill of fun, and smiled at Fang Zheng Yi: "Old Fang, you're really lacking in virtue."

Fang Zheng Yi laughed awkwardly: "I'm just concerned about him. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about serious matters. Have there been any criticisms about me in the court these past few days?"

Li Yuan Zhao's expression also became serious: "It's been very strange since you left. There's been no reaction, and no one has even mentioned you."

"I feel like those people have a conspiracy!"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng Yi lowered his head and pondered. It was indeed abnormal that no one had impeached him after being gone for so long.

Moreover, someone from Taoyuan County was inquiring about his news. Maybe those old bastards who didn't like him were brewing a big move.

But none of that mattered. Once the sweet potatoes were born, whatever these people said would be bullshit!

"Old Fang? Old Fang? Say something!" Li Yuan Zhao was a little anxious when he saw that Fang Zheng Yi hadn't reacted for a long time. It seemed that Old Fang was helpless?

Fang Zheng Yi changed the subject and smiled: "It's okay! Don't worry about them, let's just do what we need to do."

"How is the princess's condition now?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan Zhao vigilantly sized Fang Zheng Yi up and down: "What do you want to do?"

"What else could I do? I'm the one who cured the princess's illness, so I should know the result, right?"

Fang Zheng Yi felt helpless. Good heavens, I just asked, and you're watching me so closely. You even wanted to give me a wife a while ago, but now you're not the same?

"Yeah! She's better! That old Hu was indeed a quack! By the way, after Miao Han got better, she said she wanted to thank you in person. Don't even pick a time, let's go now, I'll go with you! Don't play any tricks!"

".............."
