Happy, how can I not be happy.

Her Royal Highness is leaving, what reason does Li Yi have to be unhappy?

No one will stare at him every day to squeeze out his surplus value------, and make something good, and he will not be snatched away by her at the first time, without even a little hard work fee...

In the days without Her Royal Highness, he is like a bird that has escaped from a cage, a wild horse that has escaped from its reins, and he lives as comfortably as he wants.

Who wants to live a life where people stare at them every day?

Li Yi looked at her expectantly and said, "Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my relatives every festive season. Seeing that the New Year is coming, I should go back and take a look... By the way, after leaving this time, will you come back?"

Li Mingzhu silently recited the two lines of poetry he just said in her heart, and said, "If there is no accident, I will come back after the New Year."

"Come back..." The expression on Li Yi's face was hard to hide the disappointment.

Li Mingzhu looked up at him, "Do you hope I will never come back?"

Li Yi shook his head quickly, "No, no, there is still a month before the end of the year, there is no need to rush back, it is still possible to stay a few more days."

"Then stay a few more days." Li Mingzhu nodded and said, "Shen Liang has made some improvements to the formula of "Heavenly Punishment". He will go outside the city for experiments in the afternoon. You can come with him."

Li Mingzhu turned and left after she finished speaking. Li Yi wanted to slap himself.

Why did you say one more word?

……

Li Mingzhu had to leave after all. As a princess, it was impossible for her to be stranded outside during the New Year. Whether she would come back or not, at least Li Yi could have some free time.

In Ruyifang, Li Yi cooked eight dishes and one soup himself. Before the last dish was served, Li Xuan was already sitting there eating voraciously, without the grace of a royal family.

Li Mingzhu did not move her chopsticks, but drank one glass of wine after another.

In the past, he would hold the jar of wine in one hand and drink it up straight. I don't know if he wanted to leave a good impression before leaving, but today's movements were much more elegant.

Li Yi was a little depressed. She was leaving. Why did he let her cook in Ruyifang instead of hosting a banquet in a high-end place like Zui Xiang Lou Qun Yu Yuan?

However, since he would not be able to see her big event soon, he would not bother with her.

For a better life in the future, what's wrong with working hard?

Before the last plate of sweet and sour pork tenderloin was put on the table, Li Xuan's chopsticks reached out. When there were no outsiders, this guy didn't look like he had been trained in royal etiquette. This was a guest at someone else's house. If a naughty child from an ordinary family dared to do anything, he would have been beaten to death by his parents.

He still had a conscience and knew to leave some food on the table for him. He picked up a piece of pork tenderloin that had just come out of the pot and chewed it slowly. He couldn't help but sigh that his cooking skills were getting better and better.

Li Xuan raised the wine in the glass and said, "Mingzhu will leave tomorrow. This glass of wine is for you to see off!"

After that, he drank it all in one gulp.

The posture was very heroic, and he felt like a hero among wine lovers. People who didn't know him would think that he had a good alcohol tolerance. In fact, the alcohol content in the glass was no more than ten degrees.

Giving Li Xuan a contemptuous look, he picked up his own glass, took a sip of the sweet grape wine, and buried his head to continue eating.

Li Mingzhu was a real hero among wine lovers. The wine jar next to her contained the highest alcohol content produced by Ruyifang. She didn't blush even after drinking several glasses.

"Li Yi, what do you want to do in the future?" Li Mingzhu seemed to have had enough to drink. She put down the wine glass, looked at him, and suddenly said.

Li Yi was fighting with Li Xuan for the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. After he had the true energy, his movements and reactions became much faster. Li Xuan was no match for him at all and defeated him easily. He put the piece of pork ribs in the bowl and said without raising his head: "I never thought about it. It's good like this now. I can lie in the yard to bask in the sun when I'm free, go to the brothel to listen to operas, and in the future------maybe it will be like this."

She was eating well, but she had to talk about her ideal life. On this point, Li Yi and her had nothing to talk about.

The status of everyone was very different. Her Royal Highness the Princess liked to eliminate violence and protect the good, and wanted peace in the world. Li Yi didn't have such great ambitions. He was happy to have a yard with Ruyi and others to bask in the sun. Although he had no ambitions, he was happy to live in peace.

Li Xuan was a little disappointed that he didn't snatch the last piece of sweet and sour pork ribs from Li Yi. After listening to him, he was a little envious.

I don't envy him for being able to bask in the sun in the yard, nor for being able to go to the brothel to listen to operas, and I envy him for being able to do whatever he wants, unlike me, who basically won't be allowed to do anything he wants.

His father no longer allows him to throw stones on the roof or trees, or even leaves, and doesn't allow him to study those messy things. After the teachers left, he didn't ask anyone to teach him, but he would send books to him every day for him to read. If it weren't for Mingzhu's face, he wouldn't be here now.

Li Yi's words made Li Mingzhu unable to say what she had prepared. After a moment, she looked at him and asked, "What if the emperor issued an order to let you serve as an official in the court?"

"You don't really plan to do this, do you?" Li Yi looked at her with a vigilant face. Eight dishes and one soup, he worked so hard to send her off, but in the end she was not only ungrateful, but also repaid kindness with hatred. Are all princesses so unreasonable?

Li Yi put down his chopsticks, looked at her and said, "Please spare me. You know how complicated and dark the court is much better than me. If I go in there, I will be devoured in a few days without even a bone residue left. I don't need to trouble you to collect my body."

Being a county lieutenant is the limit he can accept. He has never been in the court, but how can Li Yi not know about the thousands of years of Chinese history? It is a place where people are eaten. Li Yi doesn't think he can do better there than those old foxes who have lived for decades. Who can climb to that position is not a shrewd person? That is his bottom line. If the emperor really wants to do this, he will not hesitate at all. It is better to run away immediately. He does not have much sense of belonging to Jingguo. It doesn't matter where he lives. If it really doesn't work out, it is also a good choice to occupy a mountain and become a king somewhere.

Anyway, my family has experience in that kind of thing, so I can just go back to my old job. I heard that the bandit problem in the northwest is serious. There are bandits everywhere in the deep mountains. The government can't reach there at all. At worst, I can pack up and go there to be the king of bandits. It can be regarded as not forgetting my original intention and pursuing my original ideal...

Li Mingzhu didn't know how to refute. She wanted to say that the court was not as dark as he imagined, but it was against her conscience to say it. If she thought about it carefully, with Li Yi's temperament, it would be okay in the local area. If he entered the court, maybe he would be eaten up like he said, not even a bone would be left.

That place is the battlefield of the rich and nobles. There is a conflict of interests, no swords and guns, but it is more tragic than the real battlefield, and it involves a lot. Even the emperor can't do anything about it. Letting him go to the court will hurt him------Is her initial idea wrong?

Watching Li Yi and Li Xuan fighting for the plate again, and seeing the hand that was about to take it, with a smug smile on his face, Li Mingzhu picked up the chopsticks, picked up the last vegetable on the plate, and fell into deep thought.
