Carefree Scholar Chapter 162: Chatting in the kiosk

As the queen of the dynasty, the head of the harem, the mother's ritual world, and the palace, there are countless rare things in the palace. Although the perfume is good, it can only cause her momentary mood fluctuations.

It's just that, as a queen, it is extremely difficult for her to go out of the palace once. For a long journey like this, in her lifetime, I don't know if there will be another time.

He stared blankly at the young man in the hall. After a few years, he was no longer the naughty boy at that time.

"Niang Niang, here is another bottle of perfume. Let me give it to you."

Li Xuan saw her staring at herself in a daze, thinking that the Queen Empress was also interested in this perfume. He planned to give both bottles to his mother, but now he changed his mind.

When I was a child, the queen mother treated him really well. Although it has been so long now, Li Xuan has always read his kindness.

The queen's eyes were soft and she smiled and accepted the perfume. Li Xuan walked down and opened the picture with some eagerness, and said: "Mother, this is a portrait of a child painted for you. Do you like it?"

After he opened the portrait, the queen's sight also looked over, and saw that the painting was lifelike, like a real person portrait, she was taken aback, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "This painting... is so real. I'm afraid Even the court painters can’t paint."

When I saw the painting, the princess's own face showed a fascinating color, and then he gave him a white look and said: "How many skills do you have, I don't know yet, this painting It must be done by someone else... No wonder I took a few portraits from me a few days ago. I should have thought of it long ago."

The princess relentlessly dismantled it, Li Xuan's face turned red involuntarily, and said: "I can't hide anything from my mother. I actually asked Li Yi to paint this portrait. I asked him to make the perfume. Came out."

"Oh, Li Yi, but the strange man who cured my depression?" Wang Hao asked in surprise when she heard this.

She was faintly familiar with this name, and after a little thought, she immediately thought of it.

After all, those days were plagued by depression, and I was still impressed by the strange man who cured her stubborn illness.

"It's him." Li Xuan nodded and said.

"Stagnation disease, strange person? What's the matter?" A trace of doubt appeared on the face of the empress, and she asked.

Wang Ning, who had been with the princess, finally smiled and said: "The other day, princess was suffering from a strange illness, and even the imperial doctor sent from the palace was helpless. Fortunately, a strange person offered a prescription. The princess’s illness was cured."

"This happened?" After hearing the words, the queen empress stood up and said: "This person should be rewarded again!"

"Don't worry, you have already rewarded him again." King Ning said with a smile.

For the Ruyilu and Liquor business, the royal palace only needs 50% of the profit, which is for the sake of this matter, and it can be regarded as a big advantage.

"He knows medical skills and has such a skill in painting, but he is considered a strange person." The Queen Empress looked at the portrait and said; "With just a few portraits, you can draw such a charm, and become The court painter is more than enough."

"If the empress likes it, I just ask him to paint a picture for the empress. As for the court painter... it doesn't need to be." Li Xuan was really worried that Empress Empress would get Li Yi into the palace as a queen painter. In that case, his life would undoubtedly lose a lot of fun, he said a word in a hurry, and ran out quickly.

The queen wanted to stop him, her eyes curled, she saw the perfume and portrait in Princess Ning's hand, and put her hand back again.

"Okay, you don't need to be with me. Tonight is my sister's birthday. I'm afraid you two will also be exposed outside."

After a while, sending the empress to the inner hall, King Ning and Concubine Ning walked outside the door.

…………

Tonight’s palace is very lively, Li Yi finally found a secluded garden, holding a plate of dim sum in one hand, and a pot of fruit wine in the other, toward a pavilion deep in the garden. Go.

Choosing to come here tonight is not a correct decision after all.

Except for Li Xuan, the only person I know is Professor Feng. If he goes out now, he may have to be scolded by the guy who likes to admonish others.

It's still quiet here. Li Yi sat down in the pavilion, eating snacks, drinking fruit wine, and someone could faintly hear someone singing, and the voice was pretty good.

In this era, it seems that all banquets are popular with dancing and music. Li Yi just saw a group of people around there. Before he went to join in the fun, he met Professor Feng. After being called by "Zhuzi" and "Zhuzi" twice , There is no idea to look.

When I came here just now, the banquet outside just started, and I didn't have the interest to face a stranger at a table, eat something to cushion my stomach, then greeted Li Xuan and went back to sleep.

I ate too much dim sum, and I was so tired of panic. The taste of the fruit wine was not bad. I took a sip to relieve the greasiness. Not long after I put down the hip flask, there was a sound of footsteps behind me.

The people walking towards the pavilion didn’t seem to realize that there would be someone in such a remote corner, and the old figure behind the leading man whispered: "Sir, do you want to drive him away?" /

The old man did not lower his voice, and Li Yi, who was sitting in the pavilion, frowned.

Who is this old guy, so domineering, when the palace is his home?

Li Yi has never seen King Ning, but he has seen his portrait. The man is a bit older than King Ning, and he is obviously not the master of this palace.

However, most of the people who appeared in the palace tonight were people with identities. Perhaps the person who came was a high-ranking official. He, a small county lieutenant, might really not be able to provoke him. He was about to get up and leave.

Unfortunately, there is still half a plate of dim sum left. I am afraid I have to do it myself. Whether to eat egg fried rice or noodles is a tangled question.

It was also at this time that the man waved his hand and said, "No need."

He walked up to the pavilion and sat down on the other side. He just glanced at Li Yi faintly, but didn't say anything. He seemed to be worried, staring at the lights beyond the shadow of the tree.

Sometimes there are young people talking loudly and loudly from there. Most of the talks are about national affairs, but they can be faintly heard. Those are the new veterans of Qing'an Prefecture this year. Only waiting for the appointment by the court, they can truly embark on After entering the official career, perhaps some of them will become important ministers in the court after a few years.

When the man was thinking about these things in his heart, he felt a little bit, and he turned his head and saw the young man handing over the snack in the dish.

"Come on?" Li Yi looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

Li Yi still has a good impression of this not domineering official.

Looking at the young man on the opposite side squeezing a piece of pastry and throwing it into his mouth, the middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled~IndoMTL.com~ and stretched out his hand.

"This dim sum tastes not bad, but if you eat too much, you will get tired. It's best to go outside and steal...get a pot of wine." The official looked very approachable, and Li Yi reminded him kindly.

The middle-aged man only ate a piece of cake, but he seemed to be interested in the young man in front of him. Seeing that he was dressed like a scholar, he asked: "Are you a new scholar of this year?"

"Ashamed and ashamed, I have read the book for a few years, and so far I am just a talent." Li Yi said lightly, but the expression on his face didn't seem to be ashamed.

The man was slightly puzzled when he heard the words.

It’s a bit strange for a talented person to appear on an occasion like tonight, but he doesn’t care about it. He habitually encourages two sentences: "You are still young, so you don’t need to be ashamed. It is the foundation of a country. Even if you can’t become a scholar, you can become a Juren, and you have the qualifications to be an official."

"An official is the foundation of a country?" Li Yi didn't care that the high official educates him like Professor Feng, and asked, "The foundation of a country, shouldn't it be the people? Your husband never taught him when he was a child You?"

After speaking, he realized that although the general trajectory of this world is similar to that of Huaxia, the subtleties are often very different. This sentence is famous in the previous life, and it may not be in this world.

"What's the explanation for this?" The man frowned at him.

"The people are the water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat, and it can also..." Li Yi paused after half a sentence.

The man was listening with curiosity. Seeing Li Yi suddenly stopped, he raised his head and asked: "What can I do?"

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also... cook porridge..." Li Yi yelled twice and said embarrassingly, "Is there any porridge? I'm hungry..."
