Chapter 309: The Shameless Emperor
"Let me start with the good news that my princess is pregnant. Today, everyone in the whole house receives half a month's salary. ”
"Congratulations to the prince! Thank you, Lord Wang! I wish the prince a big fat boy in the future. ”……
Hearing his words, all the stewards in the mansion who had some status said they were happy.
After everyone was talking about it, Li Xie stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling them to be quiet:
"The princess is pregnant now, don't bother her about the big and small things in this palace, you can watch the arrangements yourself, work hard. In addition, the nutrition of the three meals a day in the future must be sufficient, and if there is nothing to do in the small yard where I live in the future, try not to go that way.
The guards were also cautious when patrolling at night, and walked around my little swallow's yard at a little bit, but not too loudly, so as not to disturb the princess.
There are also medicinal materials in the housekeeper's house, and they must be prepared in the future......
There is also scary, and in the future the walking speed will be slowed down so as not to bump into the princess. The speed was also slowed down when he worked, so as not to hurt the princess. The most important point is that after lunch, there can be no sound around my small courtyard, the princess is pregnant, and the lunch break will definitely be vacated in the future......"
Li Xie said a lot lazily, and there are many professional terms that are not available in this world. Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they didn't understand it.
So after he lazily said a lot, he asked everyone if they understood. The courtyard was full of hundreds of people, and not a single one answered.
Cao Ying listened to Li Xie's words, a princess, a princess, and a princess caring. After listening to it, it was sweet in my heart, but I also felt that Li Xie was really making a big fuss.
At this time, people said that most of what Li Xie said was said without understanding:
"That's all for today, if there's nothing to do, you can step back first, everyone goes their own way, and everyone has worked hard in the last few months. When I give birth, I give everyone a big red envelope. ”
Cao Ying promised benefits, gave a command, and waved his hand and retreated.
After everyone left, all the people who were still sitting at the scene were their own families. Cao Ying doesn't need to take care of Li Xie's face:
"You're making too much of a fuss, and you're still working a little slower, so you just let each of them retreat when they see me, or not."
"I think I can, then I'll give another command." Li Xie didn't think this was a big fuss, and many accidents happened to such small things.
At this time, if you are verbose and instructed, they will keep it in mind, and they will naturally have scruples when doing things, and accidents will naturally be less.
"Yes, you can't be careless about these things, Ying'er, you are the first child, you have to be cautious in what you do." Yixue hurriedly responded after Li Xie finished speaking......
Cao Ying is pregnant, and all the people working in the palace are a little more careful. If you are careful and slow down, it will inevitably look depressing. However, because the New Year is approaching, the whole house is full of joy.
As soon as the day of Laba passed, Li Zhanji could be regarded as having finished dealing with the final finishing touches of the year. The rest of the matter is that the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty began to take a holiday.
As soon as the early dynasty is canceled, it means that it is really time for the New Year. Stalls selling lanterns, writing couplets, and pasting red paper began to be set up everywhere on the streets.
Those who buy New Year's goods have to start preparing, and this is approaching the end of the year, so naturally there will be more stalls. Because Cao Ying is pregnant, she will never be able to go out shopping when there are so many people.
Even if there is outdoor protection at all times, isolating her from the crowd at any time, it is inevitable that there will be squeezing when the crowd is dense, so the matter of buying New Year's goods was contracted by Li Xie.
First of all, I made a large list and wrote out all the things that may be used for the New Year. After calling Wang Jiao over, handing it over to her, and asking her to buy it, Li Xie began to worry about the bits and pieces of snacks he wanted to eat in the New Year's house.
If you buy these things, you can buy them, but if you don't make them yourself, you don't have that kind of taste.
Therefore, Li Xie simply decided that the palace distributed it to his subordinates and gave gifts to others, so he would use what he bought and eaten by his own family, and he would do it himself.
Rock sugar gourds, fried small sugar people, all kinds of pastries that are easy to store. Although Li Xie only knows a little bit of the production process, he can't stand the many professionals in this house, and he talks about the methods and the goals to be achieved.
Naturally, there are chefs who try their best to study, and after the research is done, the chefs are doing it again, and Li Xie has seen it again, and he has almost understood it.
In the blink of an eye, it was fifteen, and Li Zhanji did not have to go to the early court, so he began to deal with all kinds of affairs in the palace.
Although there are sons and concubines in the palace, Li Zhanji always feels that it is a little less interesting. Simply looking at the cold wall, he gritted his teeth and came directly to Li Xie's house.
"It's like being homeless, and I won't spend the New Year in my own home." Li Xie said this reluctantly after seeing Li Zhanji come to the door.
What a special identity Li Zhanji has! If he comes to this palace for a year, I'm afraid that the people in this mansion, except for Li Xie, will not feel comfortable.
Li Zhanji really felt like a homeless person at this time, how did he feel like an emperor? The greater the power, the more fearful others are of you.
What if he has a son, how about a concubine, one by one, he is not very close to him. Li Zhanji couldn't feel too much warmth belonging to his family from them, but saw more awe.
Since they can't get close, how can they be considered a family?
So when I heard him say this, I immediately said: "You are still my son, I can't come to your house, am I not homeless?" ”
"You don't want to think about your identity, I like to be easy-going. If you come for a New Year, I'm afraid everyone won't be comfortable. I'm afraid it's not going to be a good year. ”
Li Xie said so, but he didn't really mean to kick him out.
Li Xie was originally worried that everyone would be very restrained when he was here, but fortunately, Li Zhanji was not a person who liked to put on a shelf, since he came to this palace on the fifteenth, he wore regular clothes every day, walked here, walked around, pulled Li Gui and they would say a few words.
And often as he spoke, he began to talk about his hard work. Saying that no one is willing to get close to him now, or something, anyway, it's just a bunch of bitter water poured out, and he said that it was not easy, it was not easy, it was hard, it was hard, it was hard.
As soon as he said this, anyone who heard it would think: Wow, this old thing is pitiful. I've lived most of my life, and my son doesn't get close to me until now.
What about the emperor, what about the powerful, what about the most supreme person in the world, isn't he still a poor person alive?
There is a saying that poor people are the easiest to make friends. Everyone has compassion, and once you have this compassion, it will dramatically shorten the distance between the two people.
Li Zhanji kept talking about his own difficulty, Li Gui and the others listened to it, and began to feel from the bottom of their hearts that this emperor is also a human, this is not a high god.
With this thought, the awe, of course, is reduced and reduced, and compassion is at work. In just a few days, Li Gui's family can sit there and chat and brag with him very easily.
Li Xie had to give Li Zhanji a thumbs up when he saw this, this ability is indeed amazing.
Cao Ying will have a special time this year, this is the first year she has passed since she got married. It was also the New Year during her pregnancy.
So I reported to the Cao family early, saying that I couldn't go over to visit them. In fact, the distance is not far, and Cao Ying absolutely believes that he can get by and there will be no danger, after all, his skills are there.
But after Li Zhanji moved in, he really paid too much attention to her. Cao Ying didn't say that she was going back to her parents' house, and when she came out of a small courtyard, Li Zhanji had to nag two sentences.
Of course, it's just nagging about Cao Ying. Cao Ying, whether you listen or not, Li Zhanji has no way to take her.
But Cao Ying doesn't want to listen to his nagging, this is an emperor! It's okay to say a sentence or two in your ear, it's too much.
So after thinking twice, he could only write a letter and send it back to his parents' house.
Cao's father and Cao's mother had long known that Cao Ying was pregnant, but in fact, they didn't want her to go back to her parents' house. After all, she is her daughter, and after she is pregnant, she can't bear to let her run around like this, even if the journey is not long. But when I saw this letter, I saw that Cao Ying's letter was written in and outside the letter that she missed the two of them, Cao's father and Cao's mother were combined, and there were no relatives and friends to leave anyway, and there were no relatives in Luotianfu, and the New Year was also deserted, so it was good to simply go to the palace for the New Year.
So he came to the door with a family, this time he entered the door, Li Zhanji now likes to wander around the whole house if he has nothing to do, this can be regarded as a form of his nostalgia, this shopping came to the front yard.
saw someone running in in a panic, Li Zhanji pulled someone and asked, only then did he know that it was his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the gate, looking as if he was going to welcome people.
Li Zhanji is the highest elder in this palace, this person who goes out to welcome people, that pattern, that face is very big.
Li Zhanji may have really been the emperor for too long and rarely got close to people, but after putting down the shelves and talking with people more, his mood was also comfortable and lively.
So pulling this in-law and mother-in-law is a warm welcome to pull the family. The father-in-law on the left and the mother-in-law on the right screamed. Talking all the way, walking all the way inside, came to the lobby and sat down.
Cao's father and Cao's mother thought he was Li Xie's adoptive father at first! So the conversation was quite casual, until Li Gui also came out, Cao's father and Cao's mother were suddenly a little confused.
Li Xie accompanied Cao Ying and followed closely behind Li Gui and walked out. Seeing Cao's father and Cao's mother's somewhat confused expression, he hurriedly introduced:
"This is my biological father, this is my adoptive father, and my adoptive mother is still in the backyard with my niece. I guess I'll come over later. ”
When Cao's father heard this, the hand holding the teacup shook, and he had just heard something, and his son-in-law pointed to the father-in-law who was sitting next to him, and introduced that this was his biological father.
Lee Seop's biological father?
Cao's father put down the teacup in a panic and stood up as if his butt was on fire. Hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The grass people deserve to die for their crimes, and they have overstepped Your Majesty!" ”
Li Zhanji was polite and enthusiastic, and invited people to the first place to sit down. Father Cao didn't understand the situation and really sat down, which is okay.
The emperor sat in the first place, he sat in the first place, and Cao's father felt that he had never done such a bold thing since he was a child.
"My father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, and now the court is not early, and I am not wearing court clothes. It's just plain clothes, even if it's not the emperor, I'm here for the New Year, everyone can just follow the rules of my family, don't be restrictive.
On the first day of the door-in-law, you sat in the first place, and there was nothing that you could not overcome. ”
Cao's father saw himself saluting, except for Cao's mother and son who followed suit, Li Xie's family was not surprised, sitting on the chair. And after entering the door, I didn't see them to see the emperor, but as if they were in their own home, they just said hello, and they each found their own places and sat down quite casually, and suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
The environment is indeed the biggest factor affecting a person, and when everyone is afraid of a person, it is natural that new people will be afraid of it.
But when everyone is very easy-going, the new ones will naturally follow suit.
So seeing this, Cao's father and Cao's mother's anxiety dissipated a lot, but their awe did not dare to decrease at all, and they did not dare to sit in the first place anymore.
It's something that can't be helped.
Li Zhanji's identity is too scary, Cao's father and Cao's mother are now just a flat-headed commoner, although they have the name of the emperor's National Day. But in the face of Li Zhanji, he still felt trembling.
Cao's father and Cao's mother stayed in this palace for a night, and decided to return to Cao's mansion the next day.
It is said that a pregnant woman is the most emotional, and she finally met her parents once, where is Cao Ying willing to go, and her parents are going to leave like this.
Cao's father and Cao's mother only have such a daughter in the end, and they are distressed, so under Cao Ying's repeated retention, they finally decided to stay for a few more days.
After Cao's father and Cao's mother stayed, Li Zhanji had time to use his methods. Li Zhanji, who repeated the old tricks, pulled Cao's father and Cao's mother to pour bitter water again.
After chatting like this for two days, Cao's father and Cao's mother were completely free of apprehension in their hearts. After Li Zhanji's repeated retention, he finally felt that it was good for everyone to gather together in this palace for the New Year.
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Li Xie carried some small gifts and visited some people close to Luotianfu one by one, which was a complete New Year.
After doing a cannon battle by himself, and playing crazy with Cao Zhixiang and Lu Xiaomei for a day, Li Xie can be regarded as having finished his New Year's addiction.
The Chinese New Year's Eve vigil stayed up until dawn, and Li Xie slept and still hadn't had a good night's sleep. was dragged by Li Zhanji to worship his ancestors.
After worshipping his ancestors, Li Zhanji followed and began the early dynasty. After a year, I rested for more than ten days, and the accumulated folds were piled up on a large table.
All kinds of things are messy, and distribution makes Li Zhanji have a headache. In previous years, although he also celebrated the New Year, he never gave himself such a long vacation.
Although it is not the morning court, in addition to taking a rest in his leisure time, he also spends a small half of the day on official business, and now he completely ignores it. After so many days of accumulation, of course, there are a lot more things than in previous years.
Li Zhanji felt a headache when he looked at so many things, maybe it was because after relaxing, it was difficult for people to lift their spirits. Li Zhanji hadn't dealt with these things for more than ten days, and now he felt disgusted when he saw them.
This is the first time that Li Zhanji has felt like this since he ascended the throne for more than ten years, but what can he do, endure nausea, endure impatience and work.
After persisting like this for two hours, Li Zhanji was completely impatient.
"Bring all these things, and we'll go to King Yi's Mansion." After Li Zhanji said this to the little eunuch who served him, he stood up and walked out.
When he came to King Yi's Mansion, the first thing Li Zhanji said to Li Xie after entering the door was: "Stinky boy, seeing that you have been idle for so many days, it is estimated that your bones are loose." You've taken care of all this stuff for me. ”
As he spoke, he motioned to the little eunuchs to record the official duties and move them over.
Li Xie looked at the nearly ten eunuchs carrying them on a tray, and gasped when they were full of plays.
"What, I still have something outside, I'll take care of it." As he spoke, without waiting for Li Zhanji to reply, he raised his leg and was about to walk out.
"Let's go? You're in the sky! I'm telling you, you don't finish this stuff. I will not return to the palace for a day, and I will stay in your palace. Come on, bring these things to my study. ”
"Playing tricks!" Li Xie complained in his heart, he had never seen such an emperor in history.
"If you want to live, you can live, anyway, this palace is also your home, it's nothing more than a matter of multiple people eating and more pairs of chopsticks, I'm afraid you won't make it." Li Xie said this, and walked out without looking back.
"......" Li Zhanji knows that Li Xie has always been the master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. In the past, it was because he asked for the medicinal materials on the prescription, so he would call for it and help him correct it, but now that there is no need for this, Li Xie specified that he would not work in vain.
Knowing that he couldn't hold Li Xie, Li Zhanji was silent for a while, hooked the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked in the direction of the backyard.
