Happy Little Scholar

Li Yi walked out of the Imperial Garden holding the brocade box and passed by Chang De and the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Taoist priests are not his focus now, monks are.

The monk was too rich, which made the old emperor very dissatisfied. The courtiers were rich, the dignitaries were rich, the monk was rich, but he, who should be the richest person in Jingguo, had no money, and no one would feel balanced if he left him alone.

So the monk is in trouble.

These days, we need to build more Buddha statues, Guanyin statues and the like. The old emperor will not give up unless he scrapes out enough silver from the temples near Kyoto.

After all, I still have some friendship with the old monk Tanyin. I have to remind him that he wants to recruit believers and hold some kind of Dharma meeting to show off the glazed Guanyin statue. Take advantage of this period to do it quickly, otherwise in a few days, there will not be many glazed Guanyin statues. I don’t even dare to say which temple I came from for fear of being embarrassed...

The most important thing at the moment is to deliver this thing in my arms to the eldest princess.

He could find the way to Chenlu Palace with his eyes closed, but he might just fall and hit the wall a few more times.

Today is the birthday banquet of Her Royal Highness the Princess. As the leader of women in Kyoto today, her appeal is second only to the Empress. Naturally, she knows a lot of women from officials and powerful families. Therefore, the morning dew shop is particularly busy today.

The swallows are thin and the ring is fat, the warblers and warbles are swallowing, and the joy and laughter inside can be heard outside the palace.

"My servant has met Uncle Li." Yingying, the maid guarding the door, saluted.

"Xiaolan, is the princess in there?" They were all familiar faces. Li Yi handed the gift box to her and asked casually.

The maid smiled and said, "Here you are, Her Royal Highness the Princess is inside, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just arrived."

"Sir, sir, you're here!" Tsundere Loli held Yongning's hand and ran over from inside, saying, "Sir, what gift did you bring to the imperial sister? I want to see it. I want to see it."

Li Yi slapped away her hand that was reaching for the gift box and said, "Don't make trouble, I have to look at it for a while."

The movement coming from the door immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall.

"That is County Uncle Li, who is as famous as Her Royal Highness the Princess and Crown Prince?"

"He is who he is. That time in Yingcui Palace, Concubine Cui's personal maid framed Mrs. Li, and County Uncle Li didn't even give Concubine Cui face. That time I stood behind Mrs. Li..."

"He looks pretty good. My brother said that Uncle Li is very strict with students at the School of Mathematical Sciences. I don't think so..."

"I am the dean of the College of Calculation. Why should I be strict with the students? I think this is good. My incompetent younger brother has actually changed his temper after spending these days in the College of Calculation. I never liked him before. Now every time I go home, I have to read until late at night. I also said that if I can’t finish my homework, I will be punished by His Highness King Jin. How old is His Highness King Jin? Why did he scare him like that? I think it’s because of Li County Uncle..."

…

…

In the corner, Li Xuan, who was sitting alone at a table, looked up at the door. After a pause, he stood up and strode over as if he had seen a savior.

"Why did you come here?" She finally calmed down the tsundere loli, and when she took Yongning's hand and walked inside, she saw Li Xuan walking over.

"I was called by His Majesty just now."

Li Yi replied and was about to move forward. After glancing at him, he still didn't take the next step.

"The gift will be handed over to the princess in a moment. I have something else to do and will leave first."

He turned around without hesitation, but was grabbed by Li Xuan and dragged directly to a corner in the hall.

"You are a friend, so stay with me." Li Xuan poured a cup of tea and handed it over. If Li Yi left, he would be the only man left in the whole hall. This feeling is weird. He came , at least I can share some for myself.

"How about leaving..."

Li Yi could feel countless eyes falling on him, naked and undisguised. He raised his head and glanced at it with his peripheral vision. He was really looking at it openly...

What does it mean to nod while looking at it...

Li Xuan curled his lips disdainfully and said, "If I leave now, doesn't it mean that I'm scared? I, the noble prince Li Xuan, have never seen anything before, and how many women will I be afraid of?"

Li Yi glanced at him and pointed at his leg: "Why are you shaking if you're not afraid?"

…

…

"Miss, miss, look who that is!"

At a certain table, the girl whose eyes were darting around in the palace glanced at a corner. Her expression suddenly became stunned. After wiping her eyes, she hurriedly pulled the pretty woman next to her and said.

The woman was talking quietly to someone. When she heard this, she turned back in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, look over there!" the girl pointed to a corner in the palace and said.

The woman looked over with doubtful eyes and saw a certain figure. The next moment, her expression suddenly changed: "It's him!"

Seeing her strange behavior, the older woman across from him was startled, glanced in that direction, and said, "What's wrong, Susu, do you know County Uncle Li and Prince Li Xuan?"

"Uncle Li?" The woman was startled when she heard the words. She didn't seem to have expected that that person turned out to be Uncle Li Yi, who was famous in Kyoto for a while.

"Yes, the one on the left is the famous County Uncle Li." The older woman explained.

The woman's eyes moved slightly and asked, "Then next to Mr. Li..."

"That is Prince Ning, Li Xuan, who is also the president of the Academy of Sciences that is about to open."

"Prince Ning, Li Xuan..."

The woman gritted her teeth and uttered these words with difficulty.

…

…

Li Xuan looked back in surprise, but didn't find anything unusual. He shook his head and said, "I'm too lazy to take care of the Academy of Sciences. I'll leave it to the people below. You can leave me a position in the Academy of Mathematics. I think if I want to develop science, I must first learn mathematics well... Hey, you're lazy at home all day anyway. Xiaohan is in the Academy of Mathematics. Otherwise, you can help me manage the Academy of Sciences?"

Li Mingzhu was too lazy to pay attention to this guy with delusional disorder. She was talking to a few people over there. When she was done, she said hello and left. When she came out, the family was still stewing soup.

On the other side, the arrogant loli walked to the place where the gifts were piled up stealthily, and whispered, "I want to see what gift I brought to my sister."

She picked up the box, untied the ribbon, and carefully opened the lid.

The next moment, a ray of light flashed across her face.

The expression on the arrogant little girl's face froze, her mouth opened wide, and the gift box fell from her hand and fell to the ground.

A white hand stretched out from the side and held the gift box. Li Mingzhu patted her head and said, "Be careful."

She took the glass statue out of the box and saw the very familiar face on the statue. After a moment of shock, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

As for the women around, they had already covered their mouths and exclaimed, staring at the statue, shocked.

"Gudong..."

Li Xuan, who had just walked over from the side, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head, and looked at Li Yi with a sharp look.

Li Yi thought about it, took the gift box from the eldest princess's hand, tied it up, and handed it to Li Xuan with both hands.

"Happy birthday!"

...

...

"Sir, I want it too!"

The arrogant little girl hugged his legs and refused to let go.

Li Yi had no choice but to take out two bracelets made of beads of different colors from his arms, one for her and one for Yongning's hand. However, Yongning's wrist was too thin, and the bracelet looked a little too loose on her hand.

The beads used as bracelets are very small, and there are dozens of beads on a bracelet. They are dazzling in the sun and very eye-catching.

The arrogant loli proudly raised her wrist, and the sunlight shone through, leaving a swaying stream of light on the ground.

At a certain moment, Li Yi suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was a little wrong.

He looked back and saw that the women behind him were staring at the statue in the hands of the princess and the bracelet on the wrist of the arrogant loli. Finally, they focused their eyes on himself, and their breathing became heavy...

[ps: I can't write anymore today. I still owe one more update in two days. If my thoughts are smooth or I have time, I can pay one or two more updates as interest... Tomorrow is the Chinese Valentine's Day. I wish you all a happy Valentine's Day in advance. I have to go out during the day tomorrow, and I will update in the evening. 】
