The person who said this, round and chubby, was His Royal Highness Li Tai, the King of Wei, who was very unpopular with the ministers. Wei Yan stared at his expression twice, it was still like the first time they met, arrogant and tall from the outside to the inside, if he looked better, maybe he was really polite.

"Tyre!"

Before Wei Yan could react, Empress Changsun scolded Li Tai first, Li Tai was very aggrieved, but he still shut up obediently, but Wei Yan himself had nothing, he still smiled, and said happily: "Your Highness is so right, the minister really has no knowledge and no ability." I can't write anything, I can't do martial arts, I haven't learned much useful things, except for a body of medical skills, I have learned some things to eat, drink and have fun. When I was a child, my family was poor, and when I was studying, I went to the craft of supporting my family, and I really didn't expect to learn something. I am not afraid of His Royal Highness's jokes, in the minister's family, there are five brothers, sisters, and brothers, and four ministers, and I didn't even wear new clothes when I was a child. I've been scared since I was a child, but after I came back, my life was better, and I was more persistent in eating, drinking, and having fun. ”

Wei Yan's self-mocking words made many people present laugh, including the crown prince's brother Li Chengqian, who laughed, only His Majesty Li Er, Empress Eldest Sun, Concubine Wei and a few other elders just showed a smile of agreement. On the contrary, it was His Royal Highness Li Tai who said matter-of-factly: "Cang Liao really knows the etiquette, and the sage is reasonable." ”

This is just a small episode, it passed quickly, during the banquet, several highnesses who are currently in Beijing are competing to perform, chatting about the world, talking about literature and martial arts, Wei Yan has no intention of making a noise, this is the royal banquet, it is the place where the princes behave, he is a flat head of the people, what to fight with others, His Majesty Li Er is not his father, there is no need to show him.

Eating and drinking with the royal nobles, the food is not very appetizing, it is a very torturous thing, Wei Yan took out the magic skills that he had practiced in meetings for many years, and he looked serious and focused on the surface, but his mind turned from taste to the menu to eat when he went home tonight, and he must make a meal that suits his taste.

After talking about the food contributed by Wei Yan with a smile, His Majesty Li Er stood up, and the inner servant Xiao Huang's father-in-law hurriedly came over and whispered to Wei Yan: "Lord Wei, Your Majesty asked you to come along." ”

"Oh, thank you, father-in-law."

Wei Yan got up and went with His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er did not go back, but took Wei Yan to visit the Imperial Garden, it is now the season of flowers, and the scenery in the garden is good. Wei Yan raised his head and kept looking around, the imperial garden of the palace was a different scenery than the garden he went to last time for summer vacation.

"How? How's the garden? ”

"It's good, it's big."

"Don't have any other comments?"

“…… If you can plant all the onions, garlic, vegetables and vegetables, you can make the palace self-sufficient. ”

“…… Wei Yan, you ......"

His Majesty Li Er's expression was very much like kicking Wei Yan's feet. Wei Yan continued to pretend to be stupid, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is uneducated, we are illiterate, we can't even write well, how can we know how to appreciate garden art!" ”

“……”

His Majesty Li Er glared at Wei Yan, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Could it be that I said something wrong?" You really can't even write well, you say, what I said, is it the truth? ”

Wei Yan wiped his face fiercely, and simply agreed: "Yes!" ”

"Haha......" Wei Yan's appearance amused His Majesty Li Er, and the dragon's heart was very happy. After laughing, His Majesty Li Er stared at Wei Yan and said: "A few days ago, I and the queen took the children to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and the little son and her sisters went to catch butterflies to play, and somehow they argued, I stepped forward to ask the reason, and the son told me very seriously that the butterfly worked very hard to grow from an ugly insect to such a beautiful butterfly, let's not bully it." ”

“…… Ahem, the little princess is so kind. ”

Wei Yan said seriously, His Majesty Li Er's expression seemed to be smiling, and continued: "The pheasant slave asked the guards to dig up an anthill in the garden yesterday, he said, ants are not all the same, the queen ant is very ugly, only responsible for laying eggs and reproducing, his brothers don't believe it, so he digs up the anthill to prove." I didn't believe it, but when I stepped forward to see it, it was just as he said. ”

"I complimented him, and the pheasant slave was very happy, and told me and my brothers a lot about insects, flowers and plants, and I was very curious about where he learned it, Wei Yan, do you know?"

"Ahem......" Wei Yan almost choked to death by his own saliva, scratched his head, and said very honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, it was the two highnesses who went to the minister's mansion and told them when the minister took them to play." The minister grew up in a poor family since he was a child, and he grew up in the fields, and he was naughty, and he didn't learn anything, but he was a mess, and he knew more. ”

"Mess up?! Including spider webs to represent sunny days, ants coming out of their burrows in groups, there will be heavy rain, etc.? ”

His Majesty Li Er's expression rose to the ground. Wei Yan was not afraid, but confused, and said: "Your Majesty, these are common sayings that have been circulated among the people, and ordinary experienced farmers can judge the weather according to the performance of various insects and poultry in nature, this ...... Many people know that, right? ”

His Majesty Li Er's rare old face turned red, Wei Yan pretended not to see it, why did he accidentally forget that His Majesty Li Er was born in a family, which was different from his poor middle peasant background.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about what Tai'er laughed at you just now, my son, everything is good, but he has a high temperament, a heavy literati atmosphere, and likes to associate with learned people, but, young people, it's okay to be more vigorous, and when you have more experience, these problems will naturally disappear." His Majesty Li Er was very proud of being a father when he spoke.

Wei Yan smiled and said, "What Your Majesty said is that several highnesses are very extraordinary......"

"But I think you're even more extraordinary!"

Before Wei Yan's nonsense was finished, he was interrupted by His Majesty Li Er, staring at him sharply, like a swift and brave leopard, cold sweat fell from Wei Yan's forehead, and he forced himself to calm down: "Your Majesty has won the award, the minister doesn't even know all the words, and the handwriting is not as good as a child, the minister is illiterate, there is nothing extraordinary, at most, that is, the knowledge is extraordinary, well, there are few in the world." ”

"Haha......"

His Majesty Li Er raised his head and laughed, pointed at Wei Yan and shook his head, and after laughing, his face was full of meaning: "That's it, a young man about the same age as Cheng Qian, not proud, not impulsive, modest, cautious, knows how to advance and retreat, knows self-irony and self-deprecation, unlike other young people, including my Cheng Qian, proud, conceited, full of momentum, full of enthusiasm, desperate to prove himself." At the same age, those children are the same, and you are the same way, you are confident, calm, and know the world, compared to you, my children are just impulsive little bulls. You, Wei Yan, don't look like a boy of seventeen or eighteen! ”
