Seeing Zhu Yiliu looking very excited, Fu Dahai quickly suggested: "Prince Lu, isn't it good to go to the Qing Palace at this time?"

"Why?"

"One of the time, Your Majesty is busy reading books and reading memorials at this time; secondly, if you meet Eunuch Feng, you will be scolded again."

It seems that Feng Bao’s deterrence in the inner court is still unquestionable.

Zhu Yili stopped and asked, "Then when did you say it's appropriate to go?"

Fu Dahai replied: "It's better to be in the evening, just after dinner."

When it comes to eating, Zhu Yiliu found that the food in the palace... is indeed not very good.

Maybe there is no pepper at this time, but I always feel like something is going on.

Otherwise, ask Emperor Wanli to ask a fireman from the imperial kitchen. It would be a legitimate excuse to go to the Qing Palace to find him like this.

Those who want to take the spoon can usually open a small kitchen in this side hall.

Eating is a big event in life!

I went there in the evening. Zhu Yiliu followed Fu Dahai and sat down again.

Then he seemed to ask casually: "Fu Dahai, do you know Li Deshi, the school of Shuntian Prefecture?"

"Li Deshi?" Fu Dahai thought for a while and shook his head, "I don't know him, why did Prince Lu suddenly ask about this person?"

"Ask any questions."

Zhu Yili replied like this. Of course, he didn't ask casually, because Zhu Yili in history has been mentioned many times after coming to this world, and he will choose a marriage for him next year.

The princess she married was Li Deshi's daughter.

He had already thought about it, it would be fine if he was in line with his heart. If he had no feelings for Li Deshi's daughter, he had to think about it seriously.

Eating is a major event in life, and marriage is even more a major event in life!

Fu Dahai felt strange. Although Prince Lu was usually chaotic, he rarely left the palace. Why did he still know Li Deshi, but he didn't know him?

So I couldn't help asking: "Prince Lu, who is Li Deshi? How do you recognize him?"

"You go check the other day, remember: you must investigate secretly. Mother and the emperor's brother cannot know, otherwise I will peel you off."

"I understand, understand..." Fu Dahai nodded like pounding garlic, "I wonder what Prince Lu wants to investigate?"

"I heard that he has a daughter named Li Zhiyi, and ask what she looks like."

Fu Dahai's eyes lit up suddenly, and he found a new continent, "Your Majesty Lu, you want..."

"What do you want?"

"Yes, yes..." Fu Dahai found out that the matter was about to come, but he didn't dare to say he wanted Princess Lu.

"Remember, you must investigate secretly." Zhu Yili emphasized again.

"Remember, remember."

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Yili found that Zhao Lingsu and Yang Kang were laughing secretly. In fact, Fu Dahai was laughing too, but he just tried his best to endure it. He saw it.

Zhao Lingsu smiled and said, "Prince Lu, are you going to find a princess for yourself?"

Zhu Yili said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm still young."

It's not too young, but it's already... Zhao Lingsu thought to herself that she is no better than Fu Dahai and Yang Kang. She usually spends more time with Zhu Yili, so she naturally has less worries.

In addition, she is the Queen Mother Li’s man, so she is more courageous than those two.

Zhao Lingsu said bluntly: "If it weren't for Princess Lu, then it would be impolite to ask about a girl's house like this."

"So we need to investigate secretly. No one can tell except the four of us."

"oh oh."

Zhao Lingsu, Fu Dahai, and Yang Kang all nodded repeatedly, remembering the names "Li Deshi" and "Li Zhiyi".

...

In the evening, Zhu Yiliu took Fu Dahai and Yang Kang to the Ganqing Palace.

Emperor Wanli had just had dinner and was playing the game of fighting leaves with three eunuchs in the East Warehouse.

Leaf is a card game, also known as horse hang tag (the prototype of mahjong), with a total of forty cards, each card named after the character in the story of "Water Margin".

The horse hang tag is the first deck of cards in China, but it is different from playing cards.

Poker originated in the West.

It is a general view that playing cards appeared earlier than horse hang tags, which roughly originated in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

When playing horse hang tags, four people enter the game, each with eight cards, and the remaining cards are placed in the middle, and when playing cards, they play the big and small.

I don’t know where Emperor Wanli learned this kind of card game.

Looks very passionate.

Indeed, many literati of the Ming Dynasty were keen on this path and had written and studied it. For example, Feng Menglong wrote the "Mark Tag Sutra".

When Zhu Yili went in, the four of them were having fun. Zhou Zuo, the Qing Palace Manager, sat opposite Emperor Wanli.

Zhou Zuo was playing a million-dollar Ruan Xiaowu. Emperor Wanli was rubbing for a while and suddenly threw out a card, shouting: "Wu Song, a master of millions of stakes."

When Zhou Zuo saw the card, he immediately shouted: "Long live, you stole this card."

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are usually called Emperor Wanli in private "Wansui Ye", and of course some are called "Your Majesty".

Emperor Wanli argued loudly with his neck stammering like a child: "When did we steal cards? We already have this card."

There is no father and son on the card table.

Zhou Zuobing said: "You have this card, but you used it once when the slave played 900,000 yuan of live Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi. Why did you come again now? It was obviously stolen."

"You lost, but you beg me."

One is the Lord of the Nine Five, and the other is the humble eunuch. He was so blushed over a card of Ye Zi, and his posture seemed to be about to start fighting.

Zhu Yili couldn't see it because at this moment he thought of Zhang Juzheng who was seriously ill.

Zhu Yiliu stood at the door without moving, and coughed heavily.

Emperor Wanli turned his face and saw him, but became passionate and waved to him: "Brother, you are here just right. I'll give you a comment. Zhou Zuo, this bastard, actually said I'm stealing a card. How is this possible?"

When Zhou Zuo saw that it was Prince Lu, he didn't seem to care. He didn't understand and muttered, "Long live, you just stole it."

"Brother, listen, this guy is getting more and more nonsense." Emperor Wanli chuckled.

Zhou Zuo still wants to argue.

Zhu Yi frowned and scolded: "The emperor is the emperor's master. How dare you say he steals something? Do you feel itchy and don't want to live?"

With this reminder, Zhou Zuo and the other two eunuchs remembered that they were playing with the emperor. They were immediately scared and no one dared to open his mouth and say no, and went away in a daze.

It was almost a very good game of cards that were ruined.

Emperor Wanli was a little worried and complained: "Brother, I'm just fighting to play just now, but you take it seriously. Now, there's nothing to play."

"Brother, this card is not exciting if you can't play well." Zhu Yiliu said, "It's not exciting to play with them. You are the emperor, so you have to be decent. If the emperor really wants to relax and play for a while, when the emperor makes a pair of mahjong for you, that's exciting."

"What?"

"Mahjong is much more fun than horse hang tags, even playing cards are more fun than this."

Judging from the popularity of later generations, Zhu Yiliu must be right. After all, the horse hang tag has been eliminated by history.

Emperor Wanli asked the question mark: "Why haven't we heard of any mahjong or playing cards?"

Zhu Yili smiled and explained: "The emperor's brother is busy with all kinds of things and lives in the palace all day long. He rarely has the chance to go out. I haven't heard of it."

Emperor Wanli used his hand to sport the horse tag on the table, with an expression of unfulfilled desire, and asked casually: "Is there anything wrong with my brother?"

Zhu Yili raised his hand and asked Fu Dahai and Yang Kang to go out and wait outside.
