Chapter 36 Strange in the Temple
Seeing that Li Chengqian, who had entered the Furong Garden, had regained his cordiality on the carriage, Li Ke had no choice but to smile back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Where is the eldest brother, as long as you come, no matter the season, Ke will sweep the couch, but today Ke is entangled in many affairs, but he has no time to greet Brother Gao Ming, and even Ke has to trouble the eldest brother to help take care of the pheasant slave and Mingda, I hope the eldest brother will not mind."
Gao Ming looked at the slightly dilapidated building hidden in the mountains and forests in the distance, and knew that Li Ke was not really snubbing him, but there were a lot of things to deal with today, even if he had the help of the eunuchs in the palace, he would probably have to work for a while, so he didn't blame Li Ke for his rudeness.
"Haha, it's okay, Lone is also about to accompany the little son for a while, she, if she doesn't have her father by her side, she will probably cry like a little flower cat without her brother and sister by her side."
As soon as the words fell, an angry childish voice came from Li Ke's ears, "Big brother, you also make fun of the little son, the little son wants to ask your father to punish you for copying the preface of the Lanting Collection a hundred times in flying white font, hum." ā
As soon as Li Ke turned around, he saw that the little boy was dressed in a colorful palace costume and walked to his side at some point, the two small buns were combed on both sides, and there was a small follower who was not Li Zhi, the king of Jin.
"Big brother, you say, where does the little son look like a little flower cat?" The little son walked up to Li Chengqian and said with an unhappy face.
Li Chengqian saw that the little son was like Cao Cao, he knew that he had lost his words, and he hurriedly took a step forward, showing a smile that was more real than real gold, and did not argue, he bent straight down, and compared two "three" shapes on his face with his two hands and smiled: "Meow, the eldest brother said that the eldest brother himself is a big cat." ā
As soon as this action came out, everyone in the Hibiscus Garden burst into laughter. The people present, even the attendants and eunuchs around them, couldn't help laughing, but they didn't dare to laugh too loudly.
Seeing that the eldest brother Gao Ming, who was the crown prince, was so funny that he put down his body to make himself laugh, he immediately lost his anger and did not continue to care about Li Chengqian's bad words about him.
When Li Ke saw Li Chengqian act like this, he sighed in his heart, and he deserved to be Li Chengqian, who was recorded in the history books as "an early historian". None of the ancients in the history books can be underestimated, he just talked to Li Chengqian about the alliance between the two of them, and now Li Chengqian has created a united front to unite all the objects that can be united, and focus on purposefully and consciously currying favor with some people, such as the little son, according to Lao Li's preferences.
In fact, Li Ke thought too much, Li Chengqian swept away the big trouble at this time, and he didn't look at the problem as extremely paranoid and rebellious as before, the ancients loved the house and Wu, so Li Chengqian also "loved" Lao Li's favorite little son, so naturally he wanted to please the little son.
Without marveling at Li Chengqian's comprehension ability, Li Ke looked up and saw that it was not too early, so he smiled apologetically and said: "Mingda, pheasant slave, you and the eldest brother of the prince are waiting here for Sister Changle, and when Sister Changle arrives, the eldest brother will take you on a tour of the garden, but the third brother has some things to arrange now, and we will have dinner in Ziyun Tower at noon." ā
The little son, who was quite dependent on Li Ke, also knew that Li Ke had a lot of things to deal with today, so he didn't want to stick to Li Ke.
"Okay, then the third brother must prepare a lot of dishes that are not spicy but also delicious, otherwise..." The little son walked up to Li Chengqian, looked at Li Ke with a smile, and said clearly, if you don't give me something to eat, I'll go and tell my father that the poem was written by you.
Li Ke sweated profusely in his heart, how could the little son in his memory become so eccentric, sometimes warm, sometimes full of arrogance. Wiping a sweat in his heart, Li Ke glanced around, fortunately Li Tai was not there, otherwise he might have been exposed.
"Well, the third brother won't treat such a smart and witty son-in-law sister badly." Li Ke had no choice but to answer with a smile, and at the same time gave a look, signaling Li Chengqian to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, and then turned around and went to the depths of the Furong Garden to arrange many matters.
Without waiting for Li Ke to go far, Yuan Kui walked steadily with two rather heavy buckets.
"Your Highness, here comes the water you wanted." Yuan Kui gasped a little and wiped the sweat all over his head.
"Oh, which bucket is river water and which bucket is well water?" Li Ke looked at these two ordinary buckets and asked.
"This crimson is the water of our palace's barrel filled with a moat, and the ochre red is newly made in the palace, and it is filled with the well water of Andefang," Yuan Kui said unhurriedly.
"Okay, you can let people properly put it in the side hall of the Lonely Sleeping Palace, now that Lonely has another important matter, Akui and Lonely will go to find the eunuch who is responsible for drinking water and eating here." Li Ke said lightly, and pointed to the two people, asking them to be optimistic about the two buckets of water after they were served.
Although Akui looked stunned, he didn't ask much, since he was in front of Li Ke to show the way, since Li Ke came back from Shuzhong and asked him to be the housekeeper of the palace, Li Ke has made him confused, but as a servant, Yuan Kui knows that what should not be asked is the rule of survival.
Not long after, a slightly rich eunuch in dark green clothes dragged his round body and hurriedly ran over, "The eunuch Derong of the Shangshi Bureau has seen His Highness, I don't know what His Highness summoned him?" ā
"You've been sent to take care of the water and food for the people of the Hibiscus Garden?" Li Ke knew that the eunuch was equivalent to a small leader, and he should be able to manage something.
"Back to Your Highness, the little one was responsible for drinking water in the palace before, and thanks to Your Majesty's weight, he sent the little one to serve Princess Jinyang's meal." The eunuch obviously also knew that Jinyang was Lao Li's heart, and if he served Princess Jinyang well, he might be able to rise to prominence. It's just that as soon as King Wu came, he asked himself about drinking water, but Derong was confused and couldn't find the north.
"Then do you know the palace, uh, where the drinking water here comes from." Li Ke almost wanted to ask the water point in the palace first, but it was inappropriate to think about it. Because the drinking water of the palace cannot be asked at will, if it is known by someone with a heart and poisoned, even if the emperor's meal is tested by the eunuchs, but poisoning a large number of eunuchs can also cause panic.
Seeing that Li Ke changed his words, Derong would not dismantle Li Ke, and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the drinking water in the Furong Imperial Garden is taken from the mountain spring in the east mountain stream three miles away from here, but Your Highness wants to check it out?" ā
Li Ke nodded, let Derong lead the way, and the three of them traveled all the way east.
"The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny." After walking for a short time, Li Ke found that he had been deceived by Lao Li, where is the royal garden, it is clearly an abandoned park. I saw that the hibiscus garden was overgrown with weeds in the depths, and there was no atmospheric luxury at the entrance.
The chubby eunuch found a winding path very recognizantly, and panted and took Li Ke all the way up, until Li Ke and Yuan Kui seemed relaxed, and followed behind without hurry.
"Huh, huh, Your Highness, let's rest," Derong didn't climb far, and stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated temple halfway up the mountainside, holding the courtyard gate with both hands. Want to sit on the threshold.
Li Ke's temperament was not so cold, and he knew that the physical fitness of this fat eunuch would definitely not be comparable to himself and Yuan Kui, so he stopped.
Just as soon as I stopped, I heard a scream. "Ah!!!h
