Chapter 260 Day 1
So in order to be able to spend it safely today, Li Xie decided to slowly correct it in the future.
"Oh, good!"
The four of them sat in this room, chatting with each other, and the time passed quickly, and the sun went down quietly. There was a commotion outside, and the guests who were eating and drinking were almost gone.
Li Xie was pulled away by Li Zhanji, so when everyone left, he didn't come out to see off the guests, and everyone didn't dare to blame. On the contrary, one by one, they walked unusually simply, put down the dishes and chopsticks when they were full of food and drink, sat down and chatted if they were interested in chatting, and wiped their mouths and got up and left.
Li Xie himself thinks this is good anyway, and he is also at ease. Those who come to eat are also comfortable, why do they have nothing to say so much etiquette?
After all the guests were gone, the big guys in the palace began to clean up the mess. Leftovers of cold rice, tables, chairs and benches, that's not too much.
By the time it was all done, it was already dark. Linghua, as a mother, found out that her daughter was missing, and people only knew that they had come to Li Xie's courtyard when they inquired.
Linghua, who had a busy day, didn't think much about it, she just thought that Lu Xiaomei was also Li Xie's goddaughter, and she would never treat her badly, and besides, Li Xie's place was so big, there was always a place to live.
So Linghua, who was already very tired, didn't let anyone go to Lu Xiaomei, and fell asleep after hastily cleaning up her personal hygiene.
What about Li Xie's side!
Li Xie originally thought that after Lu Xiaomei and her mother were busy with the things at hand, they would definitely come over to find someone, and when the time came, they would push the boat down the river and let Linghua bring the person back. So whatever you promise Lu Xiaomei at this time doesn't count.
If it is destined to not count, then why make children unhappy? So whatever Lu Xiaomei asked, Li Xie agreed to it in one go.
"Godfather, can I sleep here at night? I want to sleep with Ying'er~ godmother! ”
"Yes, of course." Li Xie's answer was careless. Li Xie's attitude was very problematic, but Lu Xiaomei didn't feel that there was any problem.
Li Xie is in Lu Xiaomei's heart, it is definitely a person who stands up to the sky and the earth, and spits and nails. After all, in front of children, Li Xie is also quite particular, and he has never missed an appointment.
So Li Xie's attitude of answering was so careless, and the two adults, Cao Ying and Cicada Yi, saw that he was perfunctory to children. So I didn't think it was strange that Li Xie agreed so happily, and that he still agreed so much on the night of the candle in his cave room.
But Lu Xiaomei felt that Li Xie agreed, so she would definitely not regret it. After it was completely dark that day, Lu Xiaomei lay on the bed very naturally.
Cicada Yi originally wanted to bring people back and let Lu Xiaomei sleep with her for one night. But Li Xie agreed, and no one objected at that time, Lu Xiaomei brushed up at this time, which was really a matter of course.
Lying on the newlywed bed like this, no one can persuade her, as soon as you go to pull her with force, she will cry. There is no way, Li Xie can only coax.
Thinking about it, then put people to sleep, and then arrange Lu Xiaomei to sleep somewhere else for one night. It was completely dark, and there was no movement on Linghua's side at all, and Li Xie didn't have any hope that Linghua would pick up someone.
It's all a hole dug for myself stupidly.
No matter how hard and tired you are, you have to carry it. So, Li Xie began his experiment of coaxing children.
"Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales". There are not too many fairy tales that Li Xie knows that meet the appetite of this kind of little girl.
Li Xie relied on his extraordinary memory, and he talked about it one after another. Lu Xiaomei is still a child after all, and she fell asleep soon after the freshness passed.
Li Xie originally thought that everyone would be taken away when they were asleep. This Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and now it's really the last moment! As long as you get this girl away, you will get what you want.
But I don't want to.
Lu Xiaomei woke up very easily when she was sleeping, obviously she was already asleep. As soon as Li Xie got started, Lu Xiaomei immediately sobered up.
didn't speak, opened those big innocent eyes, and stared straight at Li Xie. There is a posture that you are hugging me, and I will cry if you hug me.
Toss and toss. The child fell asleep and woke up, and woke up and fell asleep. A toss is a toss for a night.
The next day, when Li Xie walked out of his small attic with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, his face was full of decadence.
Everyone gathered at the dinner table for breakfast, and Su Ci patted Li Xie's shoulder in a serious manner, and said earnestly:
"I know young people who always have poor self-control. But everything has to have a degree, no. Don't ruin your body at a young age. ”
Li Xie rolled his eyes and ignored him. What could he do? Did you tell them that the little girl slept on his newlywed bed all night? He didn't do anything in this cave room for a candle night, just stared at the bed all night?
Li Xie, who hadn't slept all night after breakfast, originally wanted to go back to make up for sleep. Anyway, up and down this palace, the sky and the earth are big, and he is the biggest. It's up to him to do anything, and now that he's idle, there's nothing for him to worry about.
Before they had reached the attic, a eunuch begged for an audience at the door. What can I do? It's the emperor who represents it!
The oracle of the people directly asked her to enter the palace to meet people, and asked him to bring the princess Cao Ying with him by the way.
Li Xie, who was mentally tortured all night and didn't get any sleep physically, could only drag his exhaustion into the palace with his daughter-in-law.
Cao Ying served tea to Li Zhanji in accordance with the etiquette of meeting her in-laws on the first day of marriage. Then the three of them sat down in the imperial garden of the harem.
Although Li Zhanji was drunk like mud yesterday, he rested early. So when I woke up this morning, I was in good spirits, and I was in a good mood. In addition, Cao Ying is considered a bride, in order to make Cao Ying feel more comfortable.
Li Zhanji also worked hard, and he played the role of his mother-in-law, and he chatted with Cao Ying's parents for a short time.
Li Zhanji and Cao Ying talked, and Li Xie nodded frequently on the side, eating rice like a chicken.
"Stinky boy, I know you're in good health and you're still young, but you have to be temperate in everything." Li Zhanji couldn't stand it anymore, so he stretched out his hand and gently buckled it on the table in front of Li Xie, and then taught a serious lesson.
Li Xie rolled his eyes and didn't speak.
"There's one more thing you can answer. If you're really tired, after that, you can go back and rest. Li Zhanji paused after speaking, and then continued:
"The people who went to the south to collect grain are almost coming back. Do you get involved in this to distribute food first, or do you do some errand directly in the imperial court? ”
"What is lacking now is only food, and after you have food, you can let anyone do it, and you can make your people live a down-to-earth life. I don't have to go! ”
This newlywed Yan'er, the two are in love again. What kind of stupid does Li Xie have to be to run around and not be home?
"In that case, then find a random errand for you in the imperial court. Do you have anything you like? Li Zhanji nodded unexpectedly, as far as Li Zhanji is concerned, he still hopes that Li Xie can walk around.
The first is to observe the people's feelings and prepare for the future accession to the throne. Second, this is a great opportunity to distribute food, but it is a great opportunity to accumulate fame. If he ascends the throne as emperor after this trip, the resistance will be at least three layers smaller.
But if Li Xie doesn't want to go, it doesn't matter. Although Li Zhanji can't do a word in the court now, he is still sure of the matter of establishing a prince.
And he told Sangong his thoughts early. I believe that with the assistance of Chen Pingqing, the three elders, it is not difficult for Li Xie to ascend to the throne.
"Must you pick one?" Li Xie is concerned about the recent period, in fact, he still hopes to be idle at home.
Are there any honeymooners?
Even if you can't achieve this, it's great to be able to live at home for a while.
"Gotta pick one." This is the heir in the future, how can you not understand the court? Even if he is just an idle petty official, Li Zhanji hopes that Li Xie can go into the water as soon as possible. The sooner he gets acquainted, he can also pass on the position earlier.
"My first two elder brothers are only princes and don't hold any positions in the court, why do I want them?" You can't be special. To be special means to be valued. Being taken seriously means that it is possible to get to that position, and that is a problem.
Although this emperor is the most powerful person in the world, he has to be corrected all day long, and if he has nothing important, he can't easily leave the palace, and he has lost his freedom invisibly, so what's the point of this person's doing?
"Who says they don't? They all have an official position, okay! Li Zhanji rolled his eyes and said angrily.
But what Li Zhanji didn't say was that the official positions of the two princes were just a title, and they didn't have any real power. It's just an official position, and I go to the court every day to listen to Li Zhanji and their discussions, that's all, and it's not what they chose, but Li Zhanji directly assigned.
The officials, the big and the small, are all chosen by Li Zhanji, and they are not swayed by the two princes. But Li Xie's situation is quite special, and he directly said what position do you want?
This is equivalent to saying what official you want to be, and I will give you the meaning. This choice is simply not too wide, up to the first grade, about down to the ninth grade petty official.
As long as Li Xie opens an opening, then that position is his.
"Is there any kind of person who is particularly idle on weekdays and can not go to court?" Li Xie has cleared the three trials and six departments implemented by the imperial court.
I know what officials there are in the court, but as far as Li Xie knows, as long as there are officials of the rank in Luotian Mansion, then there must be an early court every three days, and it is indispensable to be absent.
You know, it's hard work to go to the palace at four o'clock in the morning. In other words, if you live far from the palace, I'm afraid you'll have to get up at twelve o'clock the night before.
Li Xie's Yiwang Mansion is very close to the palace, only two streets away, almost next to each other. If it is in the early morning, Li Xie will get up at three o'clock and rush to the gate of the palace at four o'clock, and there will still be a surplus of time.
If someone prepares breakfast, there will be time for that breakfast in between. But that doesn't mean it's not hard.
What is the concept of waking up at three o'clock in the morning? It's okay in the summer, it's hot, and people just feel tired at best.
If you get up at three o'clock in the middle of winter, it is simply torture. The north wind blew and blew on that hand, and the face was like a knife scratching on it.
Li Xie's physique is particularly good. He won't catch a cold or anything because of the climate, but it doesn't mean that in such weather, he will feel comfortable waiting for the palace door to open at the gate of the palace and drinking the northwest wind there.
"Not really." I can't even think of the early dynasty, but is it possible?
In such a large country, facing the sea on one side and land on three sides, in addition to the side near the sea, there are four enemy countries eyeing each other in three directions.
This is just the outside, in this country, from time to time there is a natural and man-made disaster. The family began to become opposed to the imperial power again. So it's not easy to sit in this position.
Do you still want to be whimsical and not go to the early dynasty? Yes, yes, but I'm afraid you won't be able to retire from the beginning to the end, and you have to be an emperor of the dead country!
Since ancient times, which emperor of the last kingdom has been able to die a good death?
"Then give me a place for a scholar at Hallym Academy." Li Xie thought about it and felt that this position would be the most leisurely. Under normal circumstances, like this scholarly official, the battles in the court have little to do with him, and when he comes to the early court, he is watching the play.
"Yes, you can. Okay, see you're tired too, so let's go back first if there's nothing to do. "This position is also in line with Li Zhanji's wishes, Li Xie has just entered the court, it is better not to get involved in the disputes of those people, and it is not too late to participate after the preliminary understanding of this troubled water.
"You have to give me the right to compile the history books!" Li Xie saw that Li Zhanji was finally going to let himself go, and immediately stood up. Pulling Cao Ying and wanting to go out, but before he could lift his feet, he thought of something. Turning his head to Li Zhanji, he added.
"Good!" Hanlin erudition is an official position to do learning. There is no problem with the right to compile a history book.
It's just that Li Zhanji's strange thing is that Li Xie doesn't look like a person who wants to learn. So what does he want this right for?
Writing history books?
Don't be kidding, a person who doesn't even want to come to the early dynasty will have the patience and energy to write, that boring and boring history book?
Although I can't figure it out, although I am confused, since it is what Li Xie wants, of course Li Zhanji agrees unconditionally......
After returning to the palace, Li Xie fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was just time for dinner.
When the big guys sat together for dinner, Cao Ying's face turned red. How can a new daughter-in-law sleep a day on the first day of entering the house.
Even if she didn't say anything, Cao Ying herself felt panicked. So when it came time to dinner, Cao Ying kept her head down the whole time. Not a word was spoken.
Li Xie looked as usual, talking and laughing with Su Ci, and from time to time he would talk about Huang Yu and call his eldest nephew.
After dinner, the two of them who had slept all day were full of energy. Li Xie threw away his job, and pulled Cao Ying to go back to the room immediately.
Although Cao Ying walked out of the dining hall with Li Xie, she refused to go back to the room: "Why do you look like this, thinking about these things all day long?" Are you ashamed? ”
"Hey, that's not what I said. You see, the two of us are married, and we haven't had any candles in the cave room, how can we be married? The most nominal one! I'm here to put our marriage into practice. Li Xie defended, and then changed his words:
"Besides, do you know how to tell if a man is or not?"
"I don't know how to identify it, but you're definitely." Cao Ying giggled, took Li Xie's arm and walked towards the back garden.
Li Xie is in a hurry, but he is not in a hurry at this time, so it is up to Cao Ying. Besides, it's a fun time to walk around the garden late at night.
Imagine two people lying side by side or sitting among the flowers. Looking up at the starry sky, that's also a romantic thing.
"What makes me, let me tell you, the way to determine whether a man is lustful or not is to put your hand on his heart." Li Xie said as he grabbed Cao Ying's palm and put it on his heart.
"Try to see if there's a heartbeat." Then, Li Xie didn't say any more, he felt that it was already obvious.
Cao Ying was in a hurry, and asked after the conversation:
"And then?"
Chinese culture is really broad and profound, try to see if there is a heartbeat, this can be understood as a move. But it can also be understood that as long as there is a heartbeat, it is lustful.
Cao Ying obviously understood it as the meaning of an action.
"Just try to see if there is a heartbeat, it's if you have a heartbeat." Li Xie laughed as he spoke.
"you." Cao Ying's palm on Li Xie's chest slapped it lightly and scolded shyly.
"It was." The two of them were talking and walking, and they unconsciously walked into the sea of flowers.
But he did not go up to the gazebo, but found a place to sit among the flowers.
"Madame!"
"Hmm~"
"Madame!"
"Huh?"
"I'm just calling it."
"There is not a single positive shape!" Although Cao Ying said so, her heart was sweet.
"It's like this." Li Xie said that he would lie down, and grabbed Cao Ying's arm and asked her to lie down.
Then Li Xie turned over and pressed over, one arm was supported next to Cao Ying's head, and the person who supported Cao Ying's body with one arm should be on the other side, firmly imprisoning Cao Ying in his arms.
Then he slowly approached, and when the tips of their noses were on the tip of their noses: "Madam! ”
