Chapter 968: The Great Dynasty Meeting (I)
The case of the burning of the Shinwang Mansion exposed certain things that made the two yamen in Kyoto and the city patrol department in charge of public security in Kyoto very careful.
Fortunately, in the next few days, everything went smoothly and there were no similar incidents.
The Li family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year is undoubtedly much more lively than last year, with less Lin Wanru but more drunken ink and Ruoqing.
Lin Wanru often writes to her, saying that most of them are business matters, and the Lin family's business is now flourishing in Qi country, not only involving jewelry, but everywhere.
Of course, the business of the Lin family is now the business of the Li family, and the two families are mutually beneficial and win-win, which is a symbiotic relationship.
In the first few days when the two girls moved here, they were still a little unfamiliar with this place, but a few days were enough time for them to get familiar with everything.
Even Xiaocui and Xiaozhu are all in harmony with the maids of the Li family, Xiaohuan also has two more playmates, and the maids of the Li family treat her as half a mistress on weekdays, and they dare not be too presumptuous in talking and doing things, and gradually, she doesn't play with them much.
The friendship between women always comes very easily, Xiaocui is a quirky character, easy to accept, just half a day, the mutual vigilance and resistance between the three disappeared without a trace.
On the first day of the fifth year of Jinghe, it was the long-awaited court meeting.
Li Yi got up very early, and this is one of the very few times when he did not resist going to the court, because there are many big things going to happen today, and some things will be earth-shaking for the courtiers, for the people, and for Jingguo......
It was dark, and most of the people in the house didn't get up, except for some people who needed to get up early.
Ruyi helped him iron the court clothes, Ruoqing came in with a bowl of porridge, and said softly: "Drink a bowl of porridge and then go, the court will go on for a few hours, and I am afraid that it will be after noon when I come back, and I will be hungry." โ
Ruyi walked over and said helplessly: "Miss Ruoqing is a guest, I'm really embarrassed to bother you to cook by yourself......"
Ruoqing smiled, didn't care at all, and said: "It's okay, I'm used to getting up early, I used to make breakfast for the drunken Mo first, and there is still the kitchen, and when they wake up, let people take it." โ
Li Yi drank the bowl of porridge in a big gulp, there was not a grain of rice left, Ruoqing habitually took out a handkerchief, wanting to help him wipe off the rice grains at the corner of his mouth, just raised his wrist, slowly took it back, picked up the bowl, smiled, turned around and walked out.
Ruyi walked over, wiped the corners of his mouth for him, and said as if unintentionally: "Miss Ruoqing is smart and virtuous, and she is also a very good woman." โ
"Ruoqing has some places that are very similar to the lady, and the most similar thing is the virtuous ......" Li Yi nodded, looked at the sky, and said, "It's not too early." โ
Reaching out to take Ruyi into her arms, her lips were lightly imprinted on her forehead, and when she turned around, she waved her hand, "It's still early, let's go to sleep again, I'm leaving......"

There was no snow in the winters of the fourth year of Jinghe, but it was undoubtedly colder than the previous winters.
When the sky was slightly bright, the courtiers had already rushed to the palace gate one after another, ready to participate in this year's court meeting.
On weekdays, the officials are required to be well-groomed, and it is impossible to wear too thick clothes in the court clothes, otherwise they will be found out by the imperial historians, and it is unlikely that they will lose their officials, and this face will be lost.
The morning breeze is biting, and it is undoubtedly a great torment for an official who only wears a thin court uniform.
So, in front of the palace gate, there were countless officials who hugged their shoulders and rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, and the imperial historians turned a blind eye to this, after all, if they were finely entangled, their noses would be frozen and they would not be groomed.
Of course, there are also those who are not cold, when Li Yi came over, he saw at a glance the veterans in the crowd who were dressed like bears.
The imperial court is sympathetic to the officials, and there is preferential treatment for the old people, such as Qin Xiang and Shen Xiang, they don't have to stand here stupidly, wait until the courtiers have entered the main hall and then go over, such as these veterans, you can not care too much about the appearance, not because Your Majesty is gracious, but because the imperial history does not dare to care.
"Boy, why did you come so early today, I haven't seen you go to court for more than half a year, and the old man still thinks you won't come today!"
Li Yi was not so enthusiastic about Old General Xue this time, he was almost certain that these veterans must be the first to know the old emperor's decision, for so long, he and Mingzhu were deceived by their superb acting skills......
Old General Xue patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Hey, boy, you can't blame us, you know about that matter early, it's no good......"
Li Yi shook his head, no longer entangled in this issue, the matter has come to this point, and the previous things have no meaning, at least, that person is Li Xuan, not the king of Qi and the king of Xin......
Said that the king of Qi arrived, the king of Qi wore a special spirit today, full of energy, wearing only a thin python suit, strutting his head, walking with the wind, it seems that he is not afraid of this cold weather at all.
"Young people, the bones of the body are hard." Old General Xue shook his head and said, "Unlike us old guys, if we wear such thin clothes in this weather, we will die if we go back......"
General Ma glanced at him and said, "You can't be tough now, just because you were as ...... as him when you were young."
Old General Xue was furious: "Old horseman, who can't get tough!" โ
General Ma said disdainfully: "You try ...... hard"
"Or do you want to compare!"
"I'm afraid of you!"
โฆโฆ
can openly drive in front of so many courtiers, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, I am afraid that there are only these two.
Most of the courtiers didn't care about the question of who was tougher than the two generals, and their focus was on the King of Qi.
"His Royal Highness King Qi!"
"See Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, please ......"
โฆโฆ
The arrival of King Qi caused a brief commotion in front of the palace gate, and the pickets of the imperial historians glanced at each other and ignored it.
At this time and then, after today, His Royal Highness the King of Qi may become the prince above 10,000 people under one person, and it is not a wise move to choose to offend him at this time.
King Qi is full of spring breeze, he is very satisfied with the results of his arrival, he likes this feeling of being sought after, and now that the overall situation has been decided, a big stone in his heart has finally fallen.
However, those officials who couldn't even be named by name, he ignored them and walked straight ahead.
In front, it is the gathering place of the top pillars of the three provinces and six departments.
"Yan Shangshu ......"
"His Royal Highness King Qi ......"
King Qi arched his hand to Yan Bing, the secretary of the military department, Yan Bing bowed back, and then turned to look at the Hubu Shangshu beside him, and said with a smile: "......Where is the teahouse that Lord Qin said last time, which is not bad?"
Qin Huan smiled and said, "It's in Yangliu Lane, if Lord Yan wants to go, why don't we ...... together after going down to court today?"
"That's great!"
โฆโฆ
Looking at the two Shangshu who were chatting happily, King Qi's open mouth closed again, and a trace of displeasure quickly flashed on his face.
Soon, a smile appeared on his face again, and he turned to look at the others.
Before he could speak, the crowd heard the sound of conversation.
"Ah, Master Zhang, why are you so fragrant, did you steal your wife's perfume?"
"You can smell that, too?"
"Lord Wei looks extra energetic today!"
"yes, does that thing really work?"
"What's that?"
"Lord Qi doesn't know that the new product Ruyi Lu, which was launched only a few days ago, is designed for men, which can refresh the mind, regulate emotions, relieve stress, reflect the taste of life, and improve their own charm ......"
"Yes, there are such good things, I want to try them too......"
โฆโฆ
King Qi found that he was ignored again, and the officials who were still standing quietly waiting just now suddenly started chatting, and he had no way to intervene at all.
With a gloomy face, he walked towards his place.
"Brother Qi Wang!"
"Brother Qi is good!"
"I've seen Brother Qi Wang!"
Among the princes, the king of Qi was the older, and several princes saluted one after another.
Li Yi looked at King Qi, who was surrounded by the stars like the moon, and said in surprise: "What are they doing?" โ
Old General Xue said lightly: "They may think that King Qi has already entered the East Palace with one foot. โ
"Who is this all listening to...... Li Yi shook his head and said: "Inexplicably, why did King Qi enter the East Palace with one foot, rumors are harmful......"
General Ma Lao looked at Li Yi, suddenly looked at General Xue, and said, "Old General Xue, I think this kid has a bit of the demeanor of your youth." โ
Old General Xue was furious, "The surname is Ma, you dare to scold me!" โnt
