Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 357 Li Bing Takes Another Disciple (1)
Let's say that a thin 60-year-old fifth-rank eunuch, Eunuch Li, came to Li's house on this day, with four eunuchs.

Eunuch Li sent Li Jingjing the court dress, jewelry, and token of Princess Huguo, and then presented two bright yellow booklets.

Li Jingjing opened it to look at the court clothes. There are eight pieces for each season, two for each season, one is purple and the other is bright yellow. They are all dignified and elegant long skirts. The pattern on the skirt is not a phoenix but a four-clawed golden dragon. The princess's court dress is even more majestic.

On the front of the token inlaid with gold and jade, there is a flying golden dragon carved finely on the front, and instead there are four words: Princess Protector.

The two booklets are the rules of the court and the benefits and obligations of the princess protecting the country.

Eunuch Li was an old man who was unknown in the first imperial palace, but was later promoted by He Dong as a personal entourage and became a celebrity in the imperial palace.

Later, when Eunuch Li got older, He Dong sympathetically relieved him of being an imperial servant, and found him an easy job of passing orders to the royal family occasionally.

Eunuch Li is an old man who has experienced two dynasties in the palace, and he knows much more than concubines.

Li Jingjing happened to have something to ask, so she politely invited Eunuch Li to have tea and sit down to talk.

Eunuch Li didn't dare to ask Da to stand all the time, he was full of energy, and said excitedly: "Throughout the millennium, there have been only two princesses protecting the country before you."

Li Jingjing smiled kindly and said, "Eunuch, please continue."

Eunuch Li immediately said: "The first one is a female general, she assisted the founding emperor of the first dynasty to ascend the throne. The second one is the sister-in-law of the fourth emperor of the founding dynasty, and she assisted the crown prince to ascend the throne. Both are famous in history, Everyone in the Chang'an city government knows it."

Li Jingjing immediately said solemnly: "Thanks to Your Majesty, you have made me the Princess Protector of the country. I will be loyal to Your Majesty in this life, and do my best to relieve His Majesty's worries."

Eunuch Li secretly praised Li Jingjing for being generous and courteous, and then told her two booklets.

"Your rank is the same as that of the first princess of the royal family, but you can go to the court to participate in state affairs, and you can also go to the army and civilian inspections for your majesty."

"The number of the prince's personal soldiers is [-] in Chang'an City, and [-] in other cities. The number of your personal soldiers is based on that of the prince."

"Your right to speak in the court is equivalent to the prince of this dynasty."

Eunuch Li talked for an entire hour, and Li Jingjing's heart was surging when he heard it.

The Li family fell into a desperate situation a few days ago. At that time, Li Jingjing thought that she must train an elite army to prepare for any eventuality.

One of the things Li Jingjing wants to do most now is to set up a personal army and have its own armed forces.

Before leaving, Eunuch Li presented a piece of paper and said respectfully: "You have sent a memorial to His Majesty to return Liuyang County to the imperial court. His Majesty asked the Ministry of Households to draw up a list yesterday, and asked you to visit these towns within three days. Choose one of the city and county towns as a fief."

Li Jingjing took the paper to Yuejingyuan, invited Li Bing to the study, and asked, "Grandpa, do you think Lintong County, Liquan County, Luohe Mansion, Nanyang Mansion, or Yanzhou, which one should I choose as the fiefdom?"

Both Lintong County and Liquan County are near Chang'an. The difference is that Lintong County belongs to Chang'an, and Liquan County belongs to Shaanxi Road.

Luohe Mansion and Nanyang Mansion are city mansions with an area slightly smaller than the prefecture, belonging to Henan Province.

Yanzhou is the current Yan'an area, which belongs to Shaanxi Road. The yellow soil is high soil and high slopes, and the Yellow River flows through it.

Li Bing took a look at the paper, it was He Dong's handwriting, and said with a smile, "Did Your Majesty give you the Princess Huguo Mansion?"

Only then did Li Jingjing think about the Princess Mansion. Eunuch Li didn’t mention it at all just now, so it must be nothing, and she was less happy. She pouted and shook her head, and said, “No. Your Majesty has always been very stingy, except for the court clothes. I have two booklets and one paper."

Li Bing pointed to Luohe Mansion, Nanyang Mansion, and Yanzhou, and said: "Even if Your Majesty didn't give you the Princess Mansion, then you can choose a city mansion as a fief, and get money from the fief to build one yourself as a dowry."

Li Jingjing looked inquiringly, and said angrily: "Grandpa, are you teaming up with His Majesty to cheat me?"

Li Bing looked aggrieved and said, "My Jing Niang, how could we cheat you?"

Li Jingjing raised her eyebrows and said loudly: "Luohe Mansion and Nanyang Mansion suffered floods in eight or nine out of ten years, and the people fled to Chang'an. The soil in Yanzhou is poor and the crops grow slowly, and the people are so poor that they can't afford it." Pause. If I get any fiefdom, I have to pay for it to support the people. What are you doing to me?"

Li Bing expressed aggrieved expression, and explained: "Ms. Jing, you have wronged me. I have been in the Northland all the time, and I don't know the situation of these three cities is like this."

Li Jingjing said angrily: "You have information from all over the country, how can you not know the situation of each government? Sophistry!"

Li Bing said honestly, "I really don't know about this."

"Lishan belongs to Lintong County, and I'm going to Lintong County." Li Jingjing glared at Li Bing, snatched the paper from him and left angrily, muttering: "I don't need any medicine from now on."

Li Bing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is really not arrogant this time, I have to go to him and ask him to compensate you."

Li Jingjing was so annoyed that she wanted to stomp her feet, raised the fluffy paper in her hand, and said, "Your Majesty didn't give me anything at all. How dare you say compensation for him?"

Li Bing spread his hands and asked, "Then what reward do you want? I'll go and tell His Majesty right away."

Li Jingjing said solemnly: "I want the autonomy of my marriage. Your Majesty cannot give me a marriage. My future husband will be decided by my grandma and my mother."

Li Bing frowned and asked back: "I'm your grandfather, why don't you let me decide your marriage?"

He had hinted at someone years ago, and someone had been waiting.He cannot break his promise.

Li Jingjing snorted softly, pouted her mouth and shook her head, "You still remember it's my grandpa, I thought you forgot."

Li Bing immediately smiled and said softly: "How could I forget."

Li Jingjing said angrily: "I thought you remembered Dingchao and Your Majesty, but you forgot all your family members."

Since Li Bing had two previous convictions for risking his life for his career, she will no longer be responsive to his requests for medicines.

"You all live in my heart. As long as I live, I will never forget you." When Li Bing said this, he thought of Qin Minye falling ill because of Li Jingjing's vomiting blood, and looked inquisitively.

Li Jingjing felt a little guilty when Li Bing stared at her.

Li Bing said in a low voice: "Ms. Jing, you will be twelve years old after the new year, and you will be 13 years old after the new year. Your mother was married to your father when she was 13 years old."

Li Jingjing asked back: "When you married my grandma, how old were you and my grandma?"

Li Bingsu said: "I had already joined the rebel army at that time, and I was living in troubled times. I couldn't get married too early. Your grandma delayed the marriage because of her natal father and brother's low career. You are different."

Li Jingjing shook her head, and said nonsense: "Why am I different? I don't want to get married so early. I want to stay in the mansion with my grandma and mother. It's fine if you don't want me to accompany you. I will support myself. "
