Xiao Yi rarely drank medicine and found it bitter.

Growing up, if Xiao Yi had a minor injury or illness, he would usually just carry it away.

But Xiao Yi always felt that there was such a person somewhere who would block the door and make him drink medicine. You won't be allowed to leave until you drink it, and after you finish drinking the medicine, you will have very sweet candy, and your lips will be very fragrant and soft.

Where is it?

Xiao Yi's heart palpitated, he opened his eyes suddenly, and he woke up.

He found himself lying in the dormitory of Xingde Palace, with only Jiang Ning beside him, holding a bowl of medicine and carefully coaxing him: "Your Highness, you'd better take a sip of the medicine. After taking the medicine, the swelling on your head will go away quickly."

All the previous memories came back, and Xiao Yi remembered them.

After receiving the news about Hu Tou, he followed a little beggar to a dark alley outside Pingchang Square. I thought I was going to help Wei Qian heroically, but I didn't expect that I almost ended up helping others.

Later, he handed over Zhang Laoqi and others to the city defense, helped Wei Qian, and finally protected her back to the palace.

Recalling the confession he heard from Zhang Laoqi, Xiao Yi frowned secretly. Wei Qi looks young, careless but cruel. She has not lived in the palace for a few years, but she has learned the dirty tricks of the women in the harem.

No wonder Qu Moran said Wei Qian couldn't marry. This person is really vicious and stupid. He can tolerate cruelty, but he cannot tolerate stupidity. There will be too many hidden dangers in the future.

Even with the blessing of the Vine Armor Army, it won't work.

Xiao Yi silently crossed "Wei Qian" in his heart.

A pair of big, bright, angry eyes kept flashing back in Xiao Yi's mind.

Xiao Yi touched the wound on his head and said, "Hi~" It really hurt.

Xiao Yi was a little confused. This fourth young lady of the Shen family seemed to have a special hatred for him?

When Shen Zhuo was angry, he would never speak if he could use his hands.

However, in her previous life, Shen Zhuo rarely touched Xiao Yi because she loved the house and the bird, and she really liked Xiao Yi's face. Just looking at it makes me happy.

In the Tiansheng Dynasty in the 17th year of Yuanjing, the government was harmonious and all industries were prosperous. The entire continent was full of thriving vitality.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that everyone in the court gradually discovered that Emperor Yuan Jing Xiao Yi was good at everything, but he was a little crazy and had attacks from time to time.

I don’t know why this madness started. I just know that once it occurs, Xiao Yi’s temper will be particularly surly and moody.

In recent years, Tiansheng's maritime trade has developed greatly, and its contacts with overseas countries have become increasingly frequent.

The Kingdom of Sais outside the East China Sea sent envoys to Tiansheng for pilgrimage, and brought a rare object to Xiao Yi.

It was a mirror, about a person's height. It was not a bronze mirror, but made of glass. The surface of the mirror is extremely smooth, and the objects illuminated are reflected in the mirror, just like reflections.

Xiao Yi liked this glass mirror very much. He placed it in his study room so that he could straighten his clothes at all times.

One day, Xiao Yi stood in front of the glass mirror for a long time.

"Bring me the shaving knife."

Jiang Ning hurriedly asked someone to find a shaving knife, placed it on a silver plate, and handed it over with both hands.

"Your Majesty, do you need someone to help you shave your face?"

Xiao Yi shook his head. He took the shaving knife and carefully shaved off his carefully groomed beard one by one.

Jiang Ning was horrified. He knelt down with a thump and grabbed the ground with his head. He kept saying: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it~~~"

Since ancient times, it has been said that "the hair and skin of the body are received from parents and dare not be damaged, which is the beginning of filial piety." When Tiansheng men reach adulthood, they can trim their beards, but they cannot shave them.

Shaving is both unfilial and disrespectful.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Yi threw the shaving knife back into the silver plate, stood in front of the mirror and looked at it for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi didn't care.

"I think it's pretty good. After facial cleansing, you look much younger."

The next day, when he went to court, no one among the officials recognized Xiao Yi. The Minister of Rites was in tears, heartbroken, and called it absurd.

Xiao Yi was wearing a blue dragon robe, with a white face and no beard, sitting on the dragon chair in high spirits. He looked extremely young and handsome, as if he had become more than ten years younger overnight.

Actually, it's quite nice.

The veterans who had been following Xiao Yi to conquer the world couldn't help but feel a little dazed. They seemed to have seen Xiao Yi twenty years ago, heroic and handsome.

Could this be the reason why His Majesty shaved? For being young and handsome?

Some thoughtful courtiers couldn't help but feel shocked, as if they suddenly had a glimpse of the emperor's heart.

The attentive courtiers discovered early on that their Majesty seemed to care more and more about his appearance?

Someone once mentioned this, but at the time everyone thought it was nonsense. I remember when Xiao Yi was fighting on the battlefield, he was weak with swords and guns, and he was injured many times, but he never cared for him at all.

Only Jiang Ning knew that this was true. Xiao Yi not only cares more and more about his own appearance, but also the appearance of others.

Jiang Ning remembered that an incredible thing happened two years ago, which shocked everyone.

That year coincided with spring, which happens every three years, and there were many talents coming to take the exam. The top ten in the palace examination are all famous talents, especially the number one scholar and the third most beautiful man. They are not only talented, but also very young, and they are also famous handsome men.

One is a famous young master in Kyoto, and the other is a famous romantic talent in Nanhuai.

According to previous years' procedures, Xiao Yi had already determined the top ten positions. These people only needed to show their faces in front of the hall and then kneel down to listen to the rankings. But when the Golden Palace was about to pass, something unexpected happened.

Yijia and three others were kneeling in the Taiji Hall. Xiao Yi looked down at them and said nothing for a long time.

There are three His Highnesses, two of them are very young, one has sharp eyebrows and elegant demeanor, and the other has delicate features and is as gentle as jade.

Since I have been reading the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, I have been immersed in the books for a long time, and my appearance comes from my heart. I have a graceful and elegant style, which emphasizes both talent and appearance.

After a long time, Xiao Yi waved his hand and signaled the messenger to bring the gold list and the ink pen closer. He picked up the pen and crossed out the names of the number one scholar and the third flower in front of all the officials.

Everyone present was shocked.

Those who are ranked lower on the gold list will come up one after another. As a result, the first substitute number one pick and the oldest Tan Hua Lang were born in the history of Tiansheng.

"Xu Jieming and Deng Gongyi, you two have outstanding talents and unique insights. They are rare talents. You should go to the most difficult places for the country to understand the people's conditions and show your ambitions."

Xiao Yi issued an order on the spot and asked Xu Shiming and Deng Gongyi to take up their posts in the two most remote counties in Beihai.

The two people who were supposed to be the top pick and third overall were dumbfounded and couldn't understand what was happening! Maybe they won't be able to figure it out for the rest of their lives.

Not only could they not understand it, but no one in the court could understand it either.

Jiang Ning sighed. If he hadn't seen Xiao Yi's eyes become bloodshot again, he wouldn't have understood.

It was night, Xiao Yi was walking around the ruins of Leng Palace, murmuring softly:

"She likes to look at good-looking colors the most. If someone else is good-looking, she will be fascinated."

"This is absolutely impossible."

"Keep away, she won't be able to see..."

When Jiang Ning heard this, her heart trembled, and then she acted as if she hadn't heard anything, and waited beside Xiao Yi with a normal expression.

Later, the son of Jiang Shouzhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, made great achievements in the southern military camp. Jiang Shouzhi wanted to take the opportunity to find a job for his son in Kyoto so that his son could settle down. Lao Jiang's family is such a one-child family.

But who would have thought that three jobs in five years would all go to waste. Jiang Shouzhi always felt that something was wrong, so he asked Jiang Ning for help. Counting down the details, he and Jiang Ning could be considered to have the same ancestors.

So Jiang Ning reminded him tactfully that men, especially men with military achievements, do not need to care too much about their appearance. Maybe being more fierce or ugly will win the Sacred Heart more.

Only then did Jiang Shouzhi notice that his son's face was indeed too handsome. After thinking for a moment, he asked his son to stab him twice from the ear to the lower jaw. The originally handsome face was completely ruined. But Keren successfully stayed in Kyoto and found a position as a member of the military department.

When Jiang Shouzhi came to thank him for the large amount of money, Jiang Ning was speechless for a long time facing the phoenix tree in Cangwuyuan.

"If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place?"
