"Grandma..." Li Qi shook Queen Mother Li, "Why don't you ask Third Brother how long it took to bury his grandson? This time, Third Brother buried his grandson for three days!"

Queen Mother Li tilted her head and said with a smile, "Cheng'er will tell you."

Li Chengye used to be just like Li Qi, he loved to laugh, make fun and act coquettishly, and he liked to stay close to his grandmother, but everything changed from the day he took over Li Qi's little body.

Although Emperor Yongde did not establish another queen after his mother passed away after giving birth, and the ministers criticized him for a long time, he left the huge harem to Concubine De, and no new people were admitted to the palace in the past ten years.

All this seemed to be love and affection, and he could not forget the late empress, but in his heart Li Cheng knew it very well.

The late empress left two legitimate sons, both of whom have foreign surnames. How can Emperor Yongde tolerate the emperor's family affairs and the lack of attention from the ministers?

How could Emperor Yongde not know that Mingli's cherishing was really dangerous to both of them? How could an emperor who had been able to control his courtiers in court for more than ten years not understand the key points?

Until Emperor Yongde tore off the veil, he might as well not understand!

"Li Qi burned his father's letter and cooked the gold and silver scale koi he wanted to bring back." Li Cheng said bluntly.

Queen Mother Li stood up and looked at the carp in front of her and asked, "What is this?"

She knew how hard it was to buy this koi. Officials and nobles were already vying to buy the usual red-crested koi, not to mention that it was a gold and silver scale species with less than ten pairs a year.

"My grandson thought about it and didn't bring back the gift for his grandmother's 60th birthday. The New Year was not going well, so he took Li Qi to Ye's house to beg Master Ye on New Year's Eve."

"Qi'er was beaten twice because of my grandmother's carp!" Li Qi hurriedly spoke to write a complaint and rubbed his chest, which had long since stopped hurting.

"Why did you get kicked twice?" Empress Dowager Li also asked wisely.

"My grandson's accuracy was bad. He climbed the wall crookedly and kicked crookedly. He almost fell into the Yuehua Pond where carps are kept. Mr. Ye made up for it in order to save the carp."

"My grandson thinks that third brother did it on purpose! How could third brother be wrong? Grandma, look at me." After saying this, Li Qi, a talkative man, even opened his clothes.

"You still have the nerve to show grandma the injury that you didn't even see!" Li Cheng rewarded Li Qi with another chestnut.

"Why is Cheng'er becoming more and more unruly?" Emperor Yongde's voice came from outside the palace, and the two brothers quickly fell to the ground and knelt down.

"See the Emperor."

Emperor Yongde's heart was filled with this lukewarm name again.

After all, Li Cheng had been calling him father for several years, so why did he change his tune so completely?

"You haven't been back for years, do you still have me in your heart?" Emperor Yongde's tone was full of sourness.

"Li Cheng did not dare to return to the palace until the emperor's order was completed." There was no warmth in Li Cheng's tone, as if he was being polite to a stranger.

"Didn't I send you a letter asking you to come back early to spend the New Year with your grandmother?" Emperor Yongde thought he could have a reunion dinner with his two brothers, but it turned out that it was already the Lantern Festival!

"Li Cheng didn't know the content of the letter until now. The letter was destroyed by Li Qi."

"..." Emperor Yongde was speechless for a moment. He knew Li Qi's temperament very well.

Who made him agree to raise the two brothers outside the palace? Li prayed to the countless stars in the sky for their brilliant natures, and was lucky to be raised outside the palace. Although they were rare, they could keep them safe.

Li Qi now knew that he was responsible for returning to the palace late, so he laughed twice. "The emperor is not angry, let's try something new."

Li Qi took out two bamboo tube-like white pottery bottles from his arms, opened the pottery lids and handed them to Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Yongde respectively.

The lingering fragrance of Yulizui spreads out slowly, as if the fragrant green bamboo forest is beside you.

Next to him, Mr. Qin checked and tasted the wine before passing it to Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Yongde.

Emperor Yongde noticed that Eunuch Qin looked surprised after tasting the wine, and he couldn't help but curiously asked, "After following me for decades, can I still have a wine that makes you raise your eyebrows?"

"Your Majesty, this old slave has never tasted such fresh bamboo dew. The fragrance of bamboo is better than that of wine. It is quite spicy when it enters the throat, but when it reaches the stomach, it feels like the wine has warmed you up." Eunuch Qin picked up the white pottery bottle again and drank.

He kept saying, "If we could prepare a few cups for the Queen Mother and the Emperor, this winter would be much easier."

Before Qin Gonggong finished speaking, Li Qi took another ten bottles from Li Cheng and the secret guard and put them on the table, his eyes full of pride.

"It tastes great! I got it after a lot of hard work!" Li Qi's little face turned sullen. If Qin's father-in-law was there, they would be fine if they came back late.

"Did you drink it?" Emperor Yongde was still savoring the aroma, which made people miss the fascinating aroma of bamboo dew!

"Of course! Third brother buried me in the mountains for a few days, and Yu Lizui saved me back to reality." Li Qi exaggeratedly demonstrated.

"What's the matter? Can you become an immortal after drinking it?" The deep love for licking a calf was what Emperor Yongde had dreamed about for decades, but he couldn't realize it.

"I have truly become an immortal!" Li Qi lay on Empress Dowager Li's legs and said with bright eyes filled with stars. "Third brother buried me in Guiwu Mountain for three days. The moment I was pulled up like a carrot and saw the light again,

He drank half a bottle of wine before his feet even touched the ground, and my grandson felt like he had become an immortal."

"Do I need to let you become an immortal again now?" Li Cheng raised a smile with unclear intentions, he didn't mind burying it again.

"Grandma! Look at Third Brother!" Li Qi came to the feet of Empress Dowager Li again.

"Stop talking so much! Do you really want the emperor to punish you?" Empress Dowager Li cursed, but did not lower her hand on Li Qi's head.

It's been a long time since I heard the two brothers talking to each other. It's nice to have my grandson teasing me, seeing and drinking congratulatory gifts.

Emperor Yongde smiled and asked, "Is there anyone else I can punish?"

Li Qi shook his head quickly. "No more! No more! Third brother said it! One crime shall not be punished twice."

"Didn't you keep complaining just now? What's wrong?" Li Cheng bumped Li Qi with his shoulder.

"Third brother has been so kind to me! I just wanted to talk about how enriching my trip was!" Li Qi did not forget to burn the letter from the emperor.

Although he sent it to Li Cheng in a private message, it was still an imperial edict, but it was just leftover paper in his hands.

"Your Majesty! Why don't you have a drink?" Li Qi saw Emperor Yongde raising his glass and hadn't drank for a long time, so he went to sit next to him to persuade him to drink.

"..." The people in the hall were stunned by this sentence.

"Where have you been?" Queen Mother Li couldn't help but laugh.

What about the two children who haven’t grown up yet?

"Third brother couldn't make a date with Mr. Ye. I listened to music with third brother for a few days. Every girl is like this." Li Qi still had an unreasonable face.

Li Cheng supported his forehead.

That's right! After booking the private room for three days, there was still no one there. It was also because of this that he brought Li Qi to pay an irregular visit.

"My grandson handed in the post and waited for two days but didn't come, so he stayed in the restaurant for a while." Li Cheng really felt that Li Qi should not be dug out and could just go back to Beijing by himself.

"That's right! As soon as we received Li Yu and Yu Li Zui, we returned to Beijing in a hurry. We didn't dare to delay for a moment. Third brother locked me in the carriage for seven days! He also said that if I spilled a bottle of wine, I would be killed again.

It was hard work to bury it back!"

"What's wrong with a slow horse and a slow whip?" Emperor Yongde also had a headache for his crooked son.

"Your Majesty! Those two carps are more delicate than me! But after eating two bites of their meat, the third brother punished me with one meal every other day for seven days. I was starving." Li wrote on the petition paper again.

"You not only cooked fish, but also ate koi with gold and silver scales?" Empress Dowager Li squeezed the soft pillow of golden branches in her hand, her heart churning.

"I ate a pair." Li Cheng looked distressed, his flesh ached, and his liver ached. "That's why I waited for Master Ye again. I couldn't wait until the end of the year, so I had to climb a high wall."

"Grandpa's cook is amazing! The whole family says it's fresh and delicious!" Li Qi said with excitement on his face, unaware of Queen Mother Li's anxiety.

If the four countries want to invite the Ye family as guests, they know how hard it is to find koi, let alone gold and silver scales, which are in very small quantities.

The Ye family found the most suitable place to raise koi outside Xieyang City. The Yong Dynasty took advantage of the geographical convenience to be able to successfully hunt for fish. A pair of them were eaten at once, and they were even willing to give it up!

The imperial power cannot coerce the carp in the Ye family pond. The four countries have been coexisting in harmony and mutually beneficial trade for a long time. Koi is one of the only rare commodities that have been put on the table for preservation. Gold and silver scales and red-crested carp are even more sought after by all countries.

What kid from that aristocratic family doesn’t expect to earn face in his own pond?

Queen Mother Li covered her heart, unable to digest the fact that the koi was eaten.

Emperor Yongde smiled bitterly. "What else are you paying for?"

"I lost my knee." Li Cheng also smiled bitterly.

This time it was Emperor Yongde who supported his forehead, and the majestic prince had no gold before he begged for the carp. This was really heart-breaking!

Li Qi, who was in a room with only monthly salary but didn't know that he was fined until the year of the monkey, laughed out loud.

As a fictitious county prince, he relied on his family's financial resources for food and clothing, but he always returned with a free and easy life even after losing a lot of money.

Emperor Yongde drank all the wine in the cup and could not appreciate the taste.

Two sons who seem to be nothing!

...

Yan Juan was lying beside the crescent-shaped pool in her house, watching the crowd of people digging deep in the darkness. Bai Lu was afraid that she would fall into the pit and dare not leave half a step away.

"Girl! This pool is so high that I feel panicked. Does it have to be so deep?" Bai Lu clutched Yan Jue's collar tightly. It was almost deeper than the well!

"It's so deep and you can't see the source of water, so you know why I dug such a deep pool, right?"

Yan Juan guessed that there should be a rock wall underneath. If this area was indeed granite and the rock wall extended to the bottom of her house, she would have nothing to worry about.

Suddenly, Mo Shao leaned on the plank road to gain strength and climbed up, and handed a palm-sized granite piece to Yan Jue.

"Girl, it's Yandi." Mo Shao admired Yan Juan more and more, and even suspected that she was actually the old lady's long-lost daughter. Kandi judged that the layout of the project was very similar, and she was born to be a member of the Jile Mountain disciple.

.

"Uncle Mo, this Crescent Moon Spring can regulate the water source for the gate. In the future, you can really catch water at your own home."

Mo Shao smiled awkwardly. "I might not be satisfied with this Crescent Moon Spring right now."

"It's okay! Don't rush to find the water source. It's important to lay the bottom of the pond first. When the snow melts in spring, there will be more water." Before that, she thought about cutting a water source directly from the water channel to make a living spring!

In the future, the water supply of Crescent Moon Spring and Mountain Col will be ensured, and she will no longer have to worry about droughts or floods.

She wants a house that can store and regulate water. Only the living water can truly operate all the small mechanisms in the house.
