Back in the bedroom, Li Xian took a shower and walked out of the screen while wiping himself.
I don’t know what’s going on this year. Summer has just begun and the weather is extremely hot.
Such weather is a disaster for young seedlings. Although they have not left the palace, it seems that they can see the people facing the withered and yellow seedlings, either struggling to carry water to water them, or sitting on the ground complaining incessantly.
Last year there was a drought in Dingzhou, and this year it’s Guanzhong’s turn.
Sighing at the hot weather, Li Xian walked to Fang Furong and sat down.
This woman is doing accounting. Since she received Li Xian's education, at least these additions and subtractions are no longer a problem for her.
Feeling that her husband was coming, Fang Furong hesitated for a moment and then said: "Husband, I look at the accounts of the East Palace and the money has been decreasing. Especially that Xiao Desheng's, who drew a few hundred strings today and two thousand strings tomorrow. , what did he buy that cost so much money?"
The property of the East Palace should have been in charge of the Crown Princess, so Li Xian did not hide it and explained directly: "All the money was used by him to establish industries. The East Palace has allocated a piece of land in both the east and west cities for construction. Restaurant. In the past, I thought a piece of land was enough. I asked Li Xing and found out that it wouldn’t violate the regulations if it was bigger, so I expanded it a lot. All the money he drew was used for this. "
"What kind of restaurant needs to spend so much money? Your Highness, although we have money now, we can't help spending money like this. We should be diligent and thrifty at home."
Seeing Fang Furong's worried look, Li Xian immediately smiled, pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Idiot, you don't know that money can make money? If you don't invest, how can you make big money? You Wait, although we have invested a lot now, we will earn even more when the time comes."
Seeing what her husband said, Fang Furong didn't know what to say. After checking all the numbers in the account book again, she closed the account book, turned out the light, and went back to bed to rest.
Lying on the bed, she couldn't wait for her husband to move for a long time, which made her a little disappointed. She had only heard that men would feel comfortable during sex, but she had never thought that women could do that too...
As she thought about it, she felt the moisture somewhere, and her face immediately turned red.
After sharing the same bed for so many days, just by listening to his breathing, she knew that her husband was not asleep yet.
After thinking for a while, she said: "Husband, my mother sent someone to inform me that I will come to the palace tomorrow to pay my respects. What do you think my mother is going to do?"
"I don't know. If the Queen Mother feels that you don't pay greetings often enough, she should blame you. It shouldn't be so strange to ask you to come to the palace to pay greetings. I guess she probably has something to discuss with you."
"oh...."
After a pause, Fang Furong covered her face and asked again: "Husband, if the queen mother asks about our sexual intercourse again, what do you think I will do with my concubine?"
what to do? Facing such an old female hooligan, I can only accept it. Although the best way to fight back is to be more hooligan than her, but not to mention that Fang Furong can't stand it, and the diva who can't satisfy her bad taste doesn't know how she will react.
"If I ask you anything, just say it. If you're embarrassed to say it, just keep covering your face. You don't know, the more shy you are, the more fun the queen mother will have. So, just be patient, Making her happy is a filial piety."
"Oh well."
....
After the conversation ended, Li Xian fell asleep.
When it comes to sex, you have to be more moderate after all.
At the same time, the Jinluan Hall in the Daming Palace. Li Zhi and Tian Hou also slept on the same bed. However, the queen is getting older after all. Although Li Zhi doesn't dislike her, after many years of getting along with her, there is no novelty anymore.
As for the concubine who had been having sex with him during the day, she had been charged with seducing the king and was kicked out of the palace to become a monk at Ganye Temple. At this point, Li Zhi couldn't interfere too much. After all, he was indeed in the wrong in this matter, and the Queen was the master of the harem and was qualified to issue this order.
Lying on the bed, thinking of his teachings to the prince, Li Zhi thought about it and couldn't help asking: "Mei Niang, you said that I first taught him the five skills of controlling people and the four skills of controlling ministers, right? I always feel that teaching him It's too early for him."
Hearing the sound, the Queen of Heaven sat up and replied: "How to teach the prince is a matter for you as the emperor, and I should not be involved. But, it is too early for you to teach him this. Now he is not completely familiar with the court. I don’t have a thorough understanding of the world’s mountains, rivers and scenery, so learning the imperial arts may have an impact on my studies.”
Li Zhi sighed and said helplessly: "I also knew it early, but I have to speed up. You also know my body well, and you don't know when the dragon will dominate Bintian. When I visited Luoyang, I concealed my identity and found I went to an old doctor to see a doctor, and what he said was that I don’t know when I will become seriously ill and paralyzed in bed.”
"I still want to save some face. Instead of causing trouble on the throne and making it known to the whole world, it is better to give the throne to the prince as early as possible."
Hearing what the saint said, the Queen couldn't help but sigh.
She knew her situation very well. It was fine when the emperor was around, but when the emperor was gone, she would easily be sidelined and die in Ganye Temple like other concubines. Originally, she wanted to take advantage of her participation in politics to install some of her own people in the court to prepare for being seized of power in the future. But who knew that the emperor's health had slowly improved recently.
The recovered emperor has great power, and it is impossible to implement her plans.
After all, the people she has placed in the government cannot influence the situation of the government.
Could it be that I really want to count on the prince?
Thinking of the prince, the queen suddenly smiled and said to Li Zhi: "Everyone, I am planning to choose a concubine for the prince tomorrow, and a group of concubines, what do you think?"
Choose a concubine?
Li Zhi asked doubtfully: "Didn't the prince reject it? Why did you bring up the old matter again?"
"I have summoned the Crown Princess to come to the palace to pay her respects. She and I will make the decision together to decide on the candidate first. They will not be canonized for the time being and will be sent to the East Palace. As long as they are not canonized, Xian'er will not say anything."
Li Zhi smiled and said helplessly: "Well, as you said, I don't think the ministers will say anything more. After all, it is related to the inheritance of the royal blood."
After saying that, he closed his eyes. Since the queen also preached a little early, let's take it slow. However, since the five skills of controlling the people and the four skills of controlling the ministers have been taught, let's see the prince's reaction first.
If he could accept it all and be more anxious, maybe it wouldn't be a problem.
....
Early the next morning, Shangguan Wan'er, who had only been out of the palace for a day, returned to the East Palace.
Li Xian, who had just gotten up and walked out of the mosquito net when he saw her, immediately lost his remaining sleepiness and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you leave the palace to take care of your mother? Why are you back again?"
Shangguan Wan'er knelt on the ground and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, my mother has recovered and is able to get out of bed and walk today. Recovery will only take a day or two. In place of her mother, Wan'er thanks Your Highness for your help."
Li Xian waved his hand to stop her from kowtowing, and said with a smile: "It's good to be cured. Did you tell her about taking care of the property for the orphan? What did she say?"
"My mother said that as long as His Highness arranged it, she would be willing to do any work. Just taking care of it was not enough to repay His kindness, so she wanted to manage an estate herself. Manager Xiao asked her to choose, and she finally I chose a restaurant in the West Market.”
"A restaurant in the West Market, this is fine."
The restaurant in the West City is in need of a manager. The restaurant in the East City can be managed by Zhang Youcai.
Unlike the restaurants in the East Market, the restaurants in the West Market cater to wealthy businessmen and focus on quantity. But what is really important is the restaurant in Dongshi, because it is aimed at distinguished officials and takes the high-quality route.
It's not that she's worried that Zheng won't be able to manage it, it's mainly that her identity is sensitive and it's better not to appear in Dongshi.
Putting on the linen clothes used for martial arts practice, Li Xian walked out of the room.
As soon as I went out, I saw an old eunuch with chicken skin and gray hair kneeling in front of the door. Li Yun, on the other hand, actually looked at the old man very warily, with both hands tucked into his sleeves.
Li Yun had two daggers in his sleeves, and Li Xian knew this very well.
It's not easy for this old guy to be able to make Li Yun feel like he's facing a formidable enemy.
When the prince finally came out, the old eunuch said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Old slave Zhou Quan, on the orders of Manager Zhang, came to serve His Highness the prince."
Curiously, he took two steps forward and looked at Li Yun, who still hadn't let down his guard. Li Xian found that he couldn't see anything scary about this old man. Could it be that there is something wrong with my eyesight?
"Zhou Quan, right? Zhang Wenshan only told Gu that he would send a master, but looking at you, it's hard for Gu to believe in your martial arts skills. Tell me, how powerful do you think you are?"
Zhou Quan raised his head and replied with a hint of pride: "As for the supervisor next to His Highness, I can handle two of them with one person, so there is no problem."
Li Xian's skills were already an eye-opener for Li Xian. Unexpectedly, I met another person today who dared to say that he could beat two Li Xings with one person.
Looking at Li Yun with a smile, Li Xian was looking forward to what he would say.
Although Li Yun was wary of this old eunuch, he was still very proud of his own skills. When he heard that he could beat two of him with one, he immediately became unconvinced and gritted his teeth and said: "Old man, look at your age, you are sixty or sixty if not seventy." You're ten, at such an age, you dare to boast that you can beat me twice? It's time for Your Highness to go to the martial arts field to practice martial arts, why don't we go to the martial arts field to spar?"
Zhou Quan smiled, looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Li Xian was quite curious about the battle between masters. He pinched his chin and said, "Then let's compete. Whoever wins between the two of you, I will reward him with a delicious meal."
Zhou Quan then stood up and stepped aside respectfully.
Although he was transferred to the East Palace, he did not have a position. In terms of status, he was still an ordinary old eunuch.
With the two of them, Li Xian came to the martial arts arena.
Xu Ze was on duty today. To Li Xian's surprise, when this guy saw Zhou Quan, he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, and his hand couldn't help but reach for the horizontal knife.
Is this old guy so powerful?
Li Xian waved to Li Xian in the distance and signaled him to come over. While Li Yun was cleaning up the place, Li Xian couldn't help but walk to Xu Ze and asked secretly: "Tell me, why did Li Yun and you see this old man?" Eunuchs, all look like they are facing a powerful enemy? What does he have to be afraid of?"
Xu Ze wiped his sweat and replied in a low voice: "Replying to Your Highness, it's actually very simple. When the old eunuch saw Beizi, his eyes were focused on Beizi's vital points, especially his actions. From now on, my eyes will be fixed on the humble left foot."
"Your Highness, you may not know that Beizu's left foot has been injured before, so it is one of Beizu's weaknesses. Beizu is proud that the injury has recovered, and his walking strength should be no different from ordinary people. Who knows, people will see it. Your Highness, this old eunuch is terrifying, where did you find such a person?"
We couldn't talk about the Alliance of Despicables, so Li Xian had no choice but to say: "This person was transferred from Tai Chi Palace. Li Yun said that his skills are terrible. No, I plan to test it out. If he is really good, he can be arranged by his side." Be a guard. Since you think this guy is very powerful, why don't you and Li Yun do it together?"
"I asked him about it, and he said that even two Li Yuns couldn't beat him. Anyway, I don't believe it. You go up with Li Yuns and give it a try."
Xu Ze thought for a while, then took off his armor and decided to go up with Li Yun.
After clearing out a clearing, Li Yun impatiently changed her clothes and stood there waiting for the start.
Zhou Quan, on the other hand, still looked like a slave, standing there with a slight bow, as if waiting for orders.
Soon, Xu Ze also changed out of his armor and stood side by side with Li Yun.
The guard moved a chair to His Highness the Crown Prince with a wink, and Li Xian also finished his archery lessons, came over, sat down and asked: "Brother Six, why did you call me here? Hey, these three Are you going to fight personally?"
Li Xian, who saw clearly what was going on in the arena, suddenly became interested and shouted without taking it too seriously: "How are you three going to fight? No, I don't care how you fight. The one who wins will be rewarded heavily by me!"
The three people in the room ignored the King of England's voice, but waited for His Highness the Crown Prince's order.
Seeing that the three of them were standing and looking towards him, Li Xian said without hesitation: "Let's get started."
As soon as the words fell, one person and two people rushed towards each other.
There are no fancy moves. Once you get close, it's a dazzling exchange of fists and kicks.
It wasn't until the three of them fought that Li Xian realized that he had forgotten to warn them not to kill him.
only....
If I want to tell you again, it's already too late.
Xu Ze vomited a mouthful of blood, and half of his face was swollen. After falling to the ground, he was kicked again and immediately passed out.
As for Li Yun, although he punched Zhou Quan on the temple, it had no effect. Zhou Quan turned around and kicked him. Although Li Yun used an arm to block it and took a few steps back, you could tell by the way he gritted his teeth. That arm was probably badly injured.
Patting his sleeves that were stained with dirt, Zhou Quan looked at Li Yun and said with a smile, "Do you want to continue?"
Li Yun's face turned red from suppressing it, but she still breathed out, barely raised her arms and saluted, "No need, I admit defeat."
As the person who had the most direct experience of Zhou Quan's skills, Li Yun knew very well that if the fight continued, there was an 80% chance that he would be finished.
The other party's methods are the same as my own, but when they use the same method, they are so smooth and smooth, and their many attacks and defenses are so wonderful that they don't even tremble.
On the other hand, the punch that he thought would kill him was actually skillfully deflected by his opponent.
He obviously didn't see it, but he just reacted.
Although the two of them are very different in terms of status, this is a martial arts arena. If someone is defeated in martial arts, they have no choice but to admit defeat.
