[PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Xiulai Army" and become the 8th alliance leader in this book! ] 】

"Xianggong came back today, a little later than usual."

In the room, the candlelight was flickering, Li Yi moved the wooden basin away, helped Ruyi dry the jade feet, covered the quilt, and then said: "There are indeed some things delayed today." ”

He roughly told Ruyi what happened today.

Ruyi leaned on the head of the bed, shrunk her feet into the quilt, and said, "Speaking of which, the concubine may not have seen Mrs. Chen for a long time. ”

Li Yi sighed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"The concubine is just a woman's family, so you shouldn't say anything......" Ruyi looked at him and said, "But the concubine feels that in the future, no matter what happens to the Li family and the Chen family, you must treat Mrs. Chen well." ”

Li Yi nodded, the complexity of this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words, he gently picked up Ruyi, let her lie on the bed, covered the quilt, and said, "It's not early, the lady goes to bed early." ”

Ruyi nodded and closed her eyes obediently, "Good night." ”

"Good night."

Li Yi kissed her lightly on the forehead, walked over to turn off the lights, and exited the door.

The moon was bright tonight, and there were lanterns hanging in the courtyard, but it wasn't too dark.

Li Yi took some desserts from the kitchen, took a pot of grape wine, and sat at the stone table in the courtyard.

Today he cooked a lot of dishes, but he didn't eat much, and by now, his stomach is a little hungry.

While eating snacks and drinking wine, I had something on my mind.

There's a lot going on these days, and in all aspects, he needs to brush it up from time to time.

The first thing is to find another errand for Lao Fang, with a grandmaster Xu by his side, his existence is redundant......

Secondly, since the old emperor handed over the affairs of the court to the eldest princess last time, he really didn't care about anything, and moved to Furong Garden with Empress Yan and others, and lived a retirement life ahead of schedule.

I heard the eldest princess say that he actually asked the guards to open up a vegetable garden in the hibiscus garden, and the seeds have been planted by his own hands, and when the spring of next year begins, he will be able to eat the vegetables he planted with his own hands.

In addition, it is to play on the streets all day long with Shouning Yongning, under the protection of a group of guards hidden in the dark, leading the hunting dog up the mountain to chase rabbits, setting up traps to catch pheasants, of course, not chasing ......

Li Yidu was a little skeptical, whether it was true that things would be reversed, the old emperor had worked hard all his life, but in his old age, he completely let go of himself, did not do his job, and in the long run, the old season was not guaranteed......

However, after staying away from the affairs of the government, he went to bed early and got up early every day, had a regular schedule and rest, and even fell ill less frequently.

Li Yi didn't have too much advice on this, winter is coming, at that time, he has to honestly nest in the hibiscus garden as a shrinking turtle, winter is the season of frequent asthma, survive this winter, and there is hope for the next year.

The eldest princess who personally led the government, Li Yi couldn't rest assured.

Although she often participated in court politics before, it was the first time to exercise power in place of the emperor's position like this, and there would be too many problems in this process, so during this period, whether it was the number of times Li Yi entered the palace or the number of times she left the palace, it was very frequent.

What's more, in addition to the court, the two have other more important things to discuss.

Of course, these things belong to secrets that only the two of them can know, and they cannot be heard by others.

Li Xuan can't do it, and the old emperor can't do it.

In addition, there are others ------ about himself.

For him, this matter is more difficult than anything else.

Miss Liu Er, who was wearing a thin shirt, came over, sat opposite him, pinched a piece of pastry, and poured herself a glass of grape wine, she is very busy these days, and she often eats and is not at home, and there are not many opportunities for the two of them to sit quietly like this.

When she poured the second glass of wine, she slowly spoke: "There is no silver." ”

"Let's take 100,000 taels first, it's not enough."

Liu Meng is his own power, spending money on this, Li Yi will not save, give her the silver, and she can toss as much as she likes.

I didn't expect it to be so crisp this time, Miss Liu Er looked at him in surprise.

"Ruyi." Li Yi thought for a while, and suddenly sat up and looked at her, "I have a question for you." ”

Miss Liu Er pinched another piece of pastry and said lightly: "Say." ”

"I have a friend ......"

Li Yi looked at her and said with a serious face: "My friend, I have encountered a little trouble recently. ”

Miss Liu Er looked at him calmly, waiting for the following.

Li Yi looked at her, and then said: "My friend, he fell in love with a woman, that woman is very good, but he has a lady, his lady is very gentle and beautiful, and he also loves his lady......"

"Wouldn't this friend of yours also have the surname Li?" Miss Liu Er suddenly looked at him and asked.

"......" Li Yi nodded and said, "It's just a coincidence." ”

"It just so happens that ...... this friend of yours, besides that woman, has a lot of confidantes outside?"

Li Yi thought about it, counted with his fingers under the stone table, shook his head and said, "There aren't many of them......"

"It also happens that this friend of yours, in addition to the lady, also has a powerful and beautiful wife and sister, and a cute little maid?"

Li Yi shook his head: "Hehe, how can there be so many coincidences, whose coincidences ......"

Miss Liu Er lowered her head, poured another glass of wine, and asked, "Is there any more questions?" ”

"Nope." Li Yi stood up, turned around and walked two steps, then turned back and said, "It's cold at night, don't sit for too long, rest early......"

……

Hall of Morning Dew.

After His Majesty left the palace, although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been acting as the government of the court, she has not stayed in the Qinzheng Palace.

"You have to continue to follow up on the papermaking matter, but I think it should be soon, just the work of the past two days......"

Li Yi spread out a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it, "The price of paper is reduced, which is a good thing for the world's scholars, and it is also a weapon that can win over the scholars, the academy has begun to prepare in the states, and when the time comes, there will naturally be people who will publicize what you have done in Kyoto, and if these two things are done, it will almost be able to make the world's scholars return to ......their hearts."

"On the Yu family's side, if you continue to send people and go every day, they will definitely keep raising the price of paper, and the price will be high to a certain extent, they will definitely be tempted, and then start stocking up, because if the academy buys their paper at that price, the operation of the entire academy will collapse, and they will kill two birds with one stone......"

"Of course, we will definitely not let them kill two birds with one stone, after the new high-quality and inexpensive paper is released, the Yu family's paper mill will collapse, and the hoarded paper cannot be sold, the Yu family ......, it just happens that winter is coming, and the Cui family will not starve to death if they drink the northwest wind together, and they will not be lonely."

After Li Mingzhu listened to him, he nodded, but his face showed a little dazed.

She looked at Li Yi and asked seriously, "I ......, is it really okay?" ”

Li Yi looked left and right, moved to her side, and whispered: "Don't think about these things now, what we have to do now is just to let Your Majesty know, let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know, what Your Majesty can do, you can also do, and you can do it better, even better than the emperors of all dynasties......

This is a subtle thing, we already have a lot now, even if we will encounter resistance at that time, at that time, that little resistance is nothing......"

Li Yi also thought about it seriously, compared to the legendary character, the eldest princess doesn't know how much older she is, whether it is her identity or position, or the power in her hands, she can be said to be a real root, and the only thing she lacks may be that heart and means.

Of course, he didn't want the eldest princess to have that kind of heart and means, she only needed to be responsible for completing the tasks assigned to her by His Majesty and being as beautiful as a flower, as for other things, he ------ have him.
