"Zixia, is there anything different today? Are you here to see me with a peach?"
Mi Zixia put down the bamboo basket, pointed at the basket of brightly colored and juicy peaches, and said:
"Food, sex, and sex! I want to fulfill my humanity and know my destiny!"
Then, he picked out a peach that looked the brightest and plumpest, took a bite, and praised:
"It's so sweet! Come here, let me feed you!"
Ji Yuan did not feel any discomfort after receiving the peach that he had already taken a bite from. He took it skillfully and did not change his face. Instead, he continued to nibble on the place where the first bite was taken. , a deep mouthful was immediately filled with sweet juice, extremely sweet. Therefore, he couldn't help but nod his head frequently and praised in agreement:
"The fruit is so sweet! Zixia loves me so much that he will not eat it alone if he encounters a very sweet fruit. He wants to share it with me, which makes me very happy!"
When the waiters next to him saw Ji Yuan's attitude towards this peach, everyone seemed to feel the unique sweetness and couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva.
Ji Yuan also noticed the expressions of the others, so he called one of them and said, "Come! Everyone who sees it has a share. Let's take a look at it. Let's all taste it. It's so sweet!"
The attendants did not expect that there would be such a "considerate" holy order. They were all trembling with fear, but they ate cleanly. As expected, everyone tasted the beauty of the fresh peaches brought by Mi Zixia.
"An ancient saying goes: 'It's better to eat a bite of fresh peaches than a basket of rotten peaches'. Come today, it really makes sense!"
Ji Yuanming was talking about this peach on the surface, but actually he was talking about his flaws.
Since he came to power, the only person who can truly be his friend is Mi Zixia!
Others who try their best to get close to him and flatter him, no matter how flattering they are, as long as their appearance is not correct enough to catch his "eyes", no matter they are talented or not, they will be regarded as "bad peach" by him. "One column is unwilling to have more contact with them, let alone listen carefully to their "political comments".
Represented by Mi Zixia, the most basic requirements for those who can be ranked in the "Chao Ban" today are to have both good looks and good martial arts skills.
With such a "high standard" team, Ji Yuan even wanted to set up a "Qunxian Pavilion" to provide portraits and plaques for ministers and generals who were worthy of being called "virtuous ministers" throughout the past dynasties.
Those who have made particularly great contributions can even enjoy the "advanced" treatment of entering the "Pavilion" and receiving incense while the person is "living".
Such a move also changed the "style" of Weiguo's ruling and opposition parties: it is not an easy task to be a minister and beloved general who is favored by the Lord Ling.
The elders, such as Zang Boyu, were gradually ignored and given false positions. It was considered good to be able to stand in the court; however, the distance between where they stood and Ji Yuan was getting farther and farther.
And his voice of loyalty and remonstrance became increasingly difficult for Wei Linggong to hear.
Despite this, he still did not give up, and instead told Yan He, the national preceptor, what he wanted to advise, hoping that he would relay it. No matter what the path was, this act of loyalty and advice could never stop.
Yan He is not worthy of being one of the "sages". He takes the matter of "transfer of advice" to his heart, silently pays attention to Ji Yuan's behavior and hobbies, and is ready to find the right person or opportunity to convey the advice.
And Mi Zixia was the "breakthrough" he was looking for.
Yan He put aside his status as a national teacher and found an opportunity to pay a special visit to this "student". This deeply surprised Mi Zixia, who had been working as a "student" for Ji Yuan. When he saw his mentor suddenly coming to "visit his home", he couldn't help but He walked hurriedly from afar, bowed his head, and bowed to the door. After all, according to Li, he was the only one who took the initiative to "visit" Yan Guoshi. There was no reason for him to make a "surprise home visit" for the teacher!
Needless to say, he must be here to "ask for guilt"!
Mi Zixia fearfully led Master Yan into the main hall of his home and took a seat. He boiled tea and burned incense. He stood respectfully at the bottom and asked the Master to teach him.
"Zixia, don't be alarmed. Come and sit down! It's nothing important. I happened to be passing by, and on a whim, I just wanted to spend some time and pay homage to you."
Yan He was still very kind and not in a hurry to talk about big things.
"The Imperial Master is here, and the students are unprepared. The tea is shabby, which is really rude, but please don't blame me, sir!"
Xia Zixia was still respectful and frightened, and did not dare to sit down immediately as the teacher said.
It was obviously his own home, but it made him feel more cramped than ever before.
"Come on, come on, sit down first! I don't mean to blame you, Master."
Yan He signaled again.
"Please have some tea, sir!"
The waiter on the side has already boiled the water, put the tea into the cup, and placed it on the black wooden shallow rectangular tray.
Mi Zixia quickly held the single-handled water teapot and poured the boiling water down, from high to low, up and down, pulling out a column of water and a stream of heat in the space where the fragrance lingered. The heat released disturbed the atmosphere. The quiet air around made the smoke suddenly become active and turbulent.
The hot water was filled, and the overflowing tea water flowed into the tray. Mi Zixia quickly picked up a folded tea towel placed next to it and absorbed the excess water. Although the temperature was very high, Mi Zixia's slender fingers didn't hesitate at all. Even if the white fingertips were partially turned red, he didn't intend to avoid it. He just let the feeling of "how hot" only he knew, In silence, I "digested" myself silently.
"Okay! Good tea! Yiga, you can rest assured and sit down!"
After taking the tea cup, smelling it deeply, tasting it briefly, and swallowing it carefully, Yan He came to another "sounding spring between the tongue", the "tea rolling" between the lips and teeth and the unique "movement" of the human body when it collided, making everyone Everyone present could not help but be infected by this "movement". They felt that although they had not drank the tea, their mouths seemed to be full of saliva, and the aroma of tea flowed out of their mouths.
Yan He drank good tea, while the others drank his own "good saliva".
Jian Mi Zixia finally followed the teacher's instructions and sat down after the "Three Ques" ceremony, but his posture was still upright and he did not dare to be indecent or improper at all.
Seeing that Mi Zixia was still so "nervous", Yan He deliberately looked left and right and found that there was a clay statue with a bare butt and a big red bellyband placed in the main decoration in the hall, so he pointed at it curiously and asked :
"Who is this handsome guy? He actually has the chance to be in this position?"
Mi Zixia's nervous mood was finally released. He saluted and replied:
"This boy's name is 'Nongzhang'er'. It is a common object among the people of our country. It is used to pray for a male child in the family and is placed at home to worship."
