Happy Little Scholar

Chapter 371: Yongning's Past

"The King of Shu invited me to a banquet?" Li Mingzhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have not had much contact with the King of Shu since I was a child, but he always likes to make friends. The King of Shu's mansion will hold a banquet every few days. You are now considered one of the dignitaries in the capital, and you are about the same age as him. It is normal to receive an invitation."

"No way, you are not very familiar with him?" Li Yi was a little surprised.

Although the old emperor has countless concubines, and most of the princes and princesses are half-sisters, they are brothers and sisters with the same blood. Even if they are not born from the same mother, they will have some feelings.

Could it be that my thoughts have always been wrong?

On second thought, it seems more normal. The princess is fine, but any prince may inherit the supreme position after the old emperor passes away.

However, there is only one throne, and who will eventually fall on it depends on their own ability.

A good prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince. It's good for the princes not to fight and kill each other for the throne, but it's not easy to see touching brotherhood.

With Li Mingzhu's personality, it's unlikely that she has a few close brothers and sisters. She has been friends with Li Xuan since childhood. The princes of the same age may have been beaten by her when they were young, so it's normal for them to be a little distant.

Li Mingzhu thought about it and said, "Since he invited you, if there's nothing important, it's okay to go."

Even she said so, Li Yi asked in surprise: "Is it really possible for the King of Shu to ascend to the throne of the prince?"

"No one knows what my father thinks." Li Mingzhu shook his head and said, "But from the current situation, the King of Shu has the greatest hope. Putting these aside, you can't lose the face of a prince."

Li Mingzhu obviously has no prejudice against the King of Shu, at least it shows that he doesn't look like a treacherous person on the surface, and Li Yi has already had a bottom line in his heart.

When passing by the dining hall, Li Yi habitually glanced at a corner. He was stunned for a moment, then turned back and asked Li Mingzhu: "What happened to Princess Yongning? Doesn't she need to go to school?"

"Yongning is different from other princesses. Father has granted her permission not to go to school." Li Mingzhu paused slightly and said.

"What happened to Princess Yongning? Why did she become like this?" Perhaps because of the sense of déjà vu, Li Yi couldn't help but feel pity for the little princess. At the age of six or seven, she should be innocent and full of childishness. It's unreasonable for her to be in that shadow forever.

Her mother died early, and she had a serious illness... This is the news he heard from Princess Shouning. Li Mingzhu is more than ten years older than Yongning. She grew up in the palace since she was a child, so she should know more about her affairs.

"Why did you suddenly ask about Yongning?" Li Mingzhu turned her head and asked him.

"I want to try to see if I can help her." Li Yi told the truth.

"Do you have a solution?" Li Mingzhu looked at him, a hint of light in her eyes.

Although she and Yongning had never communicated, she was her sister after all. How could she not want her to become like a normal child?

"It's hard to say. We can only try first." Li Yi shook his head and said.

All the doctors in the palace, including those very famous doctors in the folk, have tried to treat Yongning, but none of them succeeded. If there is really someone in this world who can cure her, Li Mingzhu believes that this person must be Li Yi.

"Yongning was born to Concubine Liang, who died of illness when Yongning was two years old. Perhaps because she lost her mother at a young age, Yongning has always been a loner, but not like now. She occasionally plays with princesses and princes of the same age. The reason why she became what she is now is because of a serious illness a year ago."

"My father summoned all the imperial doctors in the palace at that time, and the famous doctors in the capital were also summoned overnight. Everyone was powerless. They thought Yongning would die, but unexpectedly, she miraculously woke up one night later, and her illness was cured without treatment. Even the imperial doctors found it incredible." Li Mingzhu sighed and said, "However, although she saved her life, she seemed to have lost all her memories. Including my father, she didn't recognize anyone around her. The imperial doctor said that her brain might be burned and there was no hope of recovery in this life."

"Since then, she has become more withdrawn, never talking to anyone, and has become what she is now."

Li Yi frowned when he heard this.

He only knows a little bit of modern medical knowledge, not a miracle doctor. He thought Princess Yongning was just autistic, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this.

If it was really a burn in the brain that caused amnesia, then things would be much more troublesome. In fact, whether it is amnesia or autism, there is no particularly effective treatment even in modern times. Things are more troublesome than he imagined.

"You go first, I'll go back by myself later." He said to Li Mingzhu and walked towards a palace next to the catering bureau.

On the stone steps in the corner of the palace, the little girl sat there, still holding the doll in her arms, looking down at the ground in a daze.

"Hello, little girl, we meet again." Li Yi squatted down, smiled, and greeted her.

Hearing the voice, the little girl raised her head, and when she saw Li Yi, there seemed to be a little more color in her eyes, but it seemed that there was nothing.

Li Yi took out the bead from his arms, waved it in front of her eyes, stretched out his other hand, and said, "Thank you for the bead. I like it very much. To thank you, how about I treat you to dinner?"

Looking at the palm stretched out in front of her, the little girl was startled, with a trace of hesitation on her face. After a long time, she carefully reached out a hand and placed it in Li Yi's palm.

Li Yi sighed deeply and finally took the first step.

Seeing the figure of the senior and the young holding hands as they walked into the catering bureau, the catering bureau chief went crazy.

"Cucumbers, cucumbers, hide those two cucumbers, don't let him see them, they are what Concubine Chen ordered to apply on your face!"

"Kunlun purple melon, Kunlun purple melon, Concubine Yan's favorite food. These were just delivered this morning. They are fresh. Don't waste them... What are you doing standing around? Go quickly!"

"Also, there is that bowl of soup, hide it, hide it - it's too late, it's too late, it's too late!" Zhang Tan said anxiously, turned around quickly, and in this short moment During the time, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he said: "I have attended Princess Yongning and met the lordship!"

"No need." Li Yi waved his hand, pointed at the guy who was desperately hiding the cucumber behind his back, and said, "You, come here!"

"It's over!" Seeing this scene, Shang Shiju's heart was bleeding. These were the last two cucumbers...

Concubine Chen, I’m sorry for you!

Zhang Tan silently observed the two cucumbers for a moment in his heart. Concubine Chen’s cucumbers were gone once they were gone. He couldn’t afford to offend this lord, and he could still stand among the people here after snatching the eldest princess’s porridge. , the imperial concubine is counted as one, but it does not include Chen Fei.

Li Yi didn't kill them all. He picked a fresh cucumber, washed it, broke it into two halves, and handed the front one to Yong Ning. While nibbling the rest, he pointed at the other person opposite and said, "You, Where are you looking? Yes, you are talking about it. Stop hiding it and bring me the eggplant------Kunlun Purple Melon."

Even Concubine Yan's Kunlun Purple Melon was ruined, and the face of Master Shangshan was even more miserable.

The Shangshi Bureau was responsible for the meals in the palace. Concubines with no status had no power to instruct them to do things, let alone foreign ministers.

Apart from the royal family, Li Yi is the only one who can use Shangshi Bureau as his own kitchen.

Because he is not only the arithmetic teacher of many little princes and princesses, but also the cooking teacher and nutritionist of Princess Shouning in name. This is what the old emperor said eloquently. As long as he does not dismantle the Shangshi Bureau, Palm Tan will not be able to do it. Say something about what he did here.

As for filing a complaint to His Majesty, he said that this lordship was arrogant and domineering, making the Shangshi Bureau angry and resentful. He used public property for personal use. Not only did he steal Concubine Chen’s cucumbers, but he also took Concubine Yan’s purple melons———— Such behavior is simply unacceptable by law and is outraged by both humans and gods!

I really don't dare to do it.

I heard from the Minister of Wei that His Majesty personally invited this lord to dinner a few days ago. He and Your Majesty are the only two people in the world. Who else in the world can have such an honor, not even the Prime Minister---give him another ten I don’t have the guts to do this!
