Chapter 51
As soon as Li Yuanzhao led Fang Zheng to a remote place, he dispersed many eunuchs and said anxiously: "I have many questions to ask you, when you treat floods..."
"Have a minute, your highness! I have something to say..." Fang Zhengyi interrupted Li Yuanzhao.
"How did you get the wound on your face? Could it be that someone in the palace can beat you?"
This question was called Fang Zheng and he began to be curious as soon as he entered the door. The wound on the prince's face looked like a whip. Who dared to hurt the prince's face?
Who knew that as soon as he finished asking, Li Yuanzhao immediately grinned and said viciously: "Who else can be! Who else can be!"
"Who else in the palace except for the father and the emperor dares to attack me!"
"I don't know what medicine my father took wrong. I went to see him yesterday to greet him. After saying a few words, I hung up and beat me up, and accidentally pulled him on the face!"
"I thought about it for a long time and didn't make any mistakes! Hiss...it still hurts now!"
"......" Fang Zhengyi immediately shut up and turned into a quail-like shape.
"Uh... Hey! I shouldn't say anything. This wound actually adds a bit of solemnity to Your Highness's face. It looks so majestic! He is simply a true man of iron and true man of Dajing, and I admire him!"
Li Yuanzhao touched the wound on her cheek and was amused: "Really!?"
Fang Zhengyi slapped his chest hard: "Really! I am the only one who is Fang Zheng's character! Putting aside His Highness's aura, he is simply the face of a mighty general! It makes people want to accept it and worship it!"
Li Yuanzhao immediately laughed: "Okay, okay! Only Fang Zheng in the palace understands me. I am born with a talent. Who knows that my father and the old ministers in the palace are belittled by me in a long time! I have no eyes!"
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that the prince didn't live a good life in the palace. It seems that he was taken turns by the emperor and his ministers in the palace every day, and he had no friend around him. It was not easy to maintain such an innocent and optimistic personality.
"Ah... Your Highness wanted to ask me what did you think of me just now?"
"Tian Lei! I want to ask you how to bring down Tian Lei to treat floods?" Li Yuanzhao's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Your Highness is joking, where is there any thunder?... It's just a man-made tool, just like a hammer and a sickle. However, the amount of accidental gains is not large, so you can get as much as your highness wants in the future."
"Oh..." Li Yuanzhao's face was visible to the naked eye, but she was not giving up. She then asked: "Aren't the sword immortals written in the book flying with swords all fake? There are no ghosts and gods in this world?"
Fang Zhengyi hesitated at this moment. As a serious and progressive young man, he certainly didn't take the theory of ghosts and gods to heart.
But he actually came here by his mother, which was a bit embarrassing.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Ghosts and gods... This minister doesn't believe it. It's just a fool's song! A waste can only become a dead waste if he dies. He feels a little resentful and wants to turn a salted fish into an evil ghost? It's just a sustenance to the people's good wishes!"
"And think about it, those peerless masters in novels are either blind or beggars, or weak scholars. These books are mostly written by weak scholars, and may be to express the unsatisfactory life."
"Yes... Something makes sense..." Li Yuanzhao felt very hit, and the spiritual world that she had been fantasizing about seemed to be broken...
"As for what flying with swords is just made up in the book!"
"Your Highness will know after seeing it a lot. The barbarian sword immortals overseas also fly with brooms! Is this reasonable?"
Li Yuanzhao raised her eyebrows and said, "Riding a broom? This is fresh, and riding is easier than standing, but it is not very beautiful when you think about it..."
"What's the problem? It doesn't hurt the basket!"
"...... So that's it, it's appropriate for Liu Jin to ride on him."
The more you talk, the more outrageous it became, and the topic could not be continued! Fang Zheng quickly interrupted him and said, "What else do you have to ask?"
"Oh, there is also that voice..." "I have already offered it to Your Majesty."
"I heard that there is a man named Sketcher in Taoyuan County. His painting skills are amazing and he can be as vivid as real as he is. I want to see it."
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Your Highness, sketching is a painting technique. If your Highness is interested, I will immediately call the painter and ask you to learn."
Li Yuanzhao said: "No need. I just want to see and I can paint, but I often want to draw what I want to draw. I often want to use the four words "Life and lifelike."
"The painters in the palace don't look very similar... Look, this is the painting I drew in the morning, how about it?"
As he said that, Li Yuanzhao took out a piece of rice paper from his chest and unfolded it. The painting seemed to be some kind of animal, made of black and white lines...
Fang Zhengyi immediately looked at it and said in surprise: "Oh! I didn't expect that Your Highness could draw penguins! It even looked so similar!"
Li Yuanzhao was confused: "What is a penguin? This is a kingfisher!"
“…………………”
Fang Zheng said without changing his expression: "Yes! My hometown calls kingfishers and penguins, which is a dialect."
"Yes! It seems that I am indeed a little talented in this regard." Li Yuanzhao sighed.
Fang Zheng twitched his eyes twice.
"Yes! I didn't expect that Your Highness would be both civil and military... But it's too early for mankind to be such an art. After a thousand and eight hundred years of decree, put it away quickly!"
"Hahaha! If you have vision, then I'll give this painting to you!"
"...thank you, Your Highness"
Fang Zheng took the painting expressionlessly and stuffed it into his arms. Then he took out a thick stack of things from his arms and whispered: "Your Highness, you and Your Highness hit it off at first sight. He came to him and prepared a gift for Your Highness!"
Li Yuanzhao was shocked when he looked at the thick stack of silver notes handed over by Fang Zhengyi, and took a step back and said in surprise: "What is this!? Silver notes?"
This silver bill was a small silver bill specially exchanged by Fang Zhengyi, which was 10,000 taels. The thick stack looked more than what he had given to Emperor Jing at the beginning!
Seeing that he avoided, Fang Zhengyi said unhappy: "What does your Highness mean? I look down on Fang Zhengyi?"
"This ten thousand taels of silver is just a little bit of my wish. I regard the prince as a close friend. What is the mere silver?"
Li Yuanzhao was surprised: "This is ten thousand taels!"
“That’s right!”
Li Yuanzhao's eyes suddenly showed a look of greed. The monthly money Emperor Jing gave to the East Palace was about four or five hundred taels per month, and this ten thousand taels were considered a huge sum of money for him.
But he hesitated: "I'll take your money, is this... suitable?"
Fang Zhengyi said sadly: "Brothers are like brothers and feet, money is like dirt. If you don't accept this silver, your Highness just looks down on me and doesn't treat us as a friend!"
"We are in a state of nothing, and we have nothing but money in our family. Does your Highness dislike the ministers who are in a state of stinking money?"
Li Yuanzhao waved his hand quickly and said in a panic: "No, no! I treat you as a friend, don't think so!"
As he said that, he happily snatched the money from Fang Zheng's hand and stuffed it into his sleeve, and said movedly: "You brother, I have determined it! If someone bullies you in the palace in the future, you can find me!"
"Your Highness, you are polite! If you don't want to say anything, your Highness will call me Lao Fang in the future! Tell me if you have any questions!"
After a while, the two began to get along, chatting and laughing, and colluding in full swing.
At this time, the little eunuch Liu Jin ran over in panic. Seeing the prince and Fang Zhengyi hooked up, he immediately grew up and said, "Your Highness, Prince! Minister Yan Zhan is here!"
