Li Qi was a little confused, what kind of thing is this?
Early the next morning, the palace sent someone to pick Li Qi up to take office. The person who came was a young eunuch named Guangchuan.
As soon as they got on the carriage, the young eunuch and Li Qi began to talk about the rules in the palace.
"Master Li, the palace is no better than outside. You have to pay attention to every move you make when you go in, especially you can't run around..."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."
Li Qi said as he took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it over: "Father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way. This is a little bit of my gratitude. I hope you don't dislike it."
Guangchuan entered the palace at the age of twelve, but it has only been six years now, and he is only eighteen years old this year.
Although I received a monthly salary in the palace, I never received any money from others.
Little eunuchs like them are generally not looked down upon by others, so they won't give them rewards or anything like that.
Seeing Li Qi giving him so much money all at once, it was impossible not to be moved.
"Father, I might trouble you in the future, so you must take good care of me then." Li Qi said and directly put the money into Guangchuan's hand.
"Master Li is too polite."
After collecting the money, Guangchuan's attitude toward Li Qi improved a lot. Before he could ask, he said to himself: "Master Li, it is certainly a good thing to study with the prince, but there are some things you need to pay attention to."
"Please give me some advice, father-in-law."
"It's not like giving advice. The prince usually likes to practice martial arts, and is particularly interested in some weird things... and what he doesn't like the most is nagging..."
After listening to Guangchuan's narration, Li Qi also had a certain understanding of the prince.
"By the way, father-in-law, do I have to live in the palace on weekdays?" Li Qi asked.
"How is that possible?" Guangchuan said, "Master Li must leave the palace every day at the You hour, otherwise it will be troublesome."
"Is there anyone to pick you up?" Li Qi asked.
Guangchuan shook his head: "Today is Mr. Li's first day entering the palace, so I was sent to pick him up. Tomorrow Mr. Li will have to go in and out by himself."
Li Qi nodded, finally understanding.
Damn it, if you put it this way, you can be considered a person working in the palace.
What is this?
Daxia 996?
After the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Guangchuan showed the documents, and the guards checked them again before letting them go.
As soon as he entered the palace, Li Qi felt as if he had entered a maze. He couldn't tell where it was. He saw the carriage going around and around, and finally stopped at a place. Then Guangchuan motioned for him to get off.
"We have arrived near the East Palace, and we can no longer take the carriage."
Li Qi nodded and followed Guangchuan on foot for about seven or eight minutes to the entrance of a palace.
After the announcement, the eunuch came out to let Li Qi in.
"Eunuch Guang, I'll go in first and see you later when you have time." Li Qi politely said to Guang Chuan, clasping his fists.
The little eunuch nodded: "Master Li, take your leave."
After passing through a large garden, Li Qi was taken to the study room, where he saw a young man shaking his head and reading a book.
"Your Highness, Li Qi has been brought here."
Hearing this, the young man put down the book in his hand and raised his head, making eye contact.
Li Qi froze on the spot, and after a while he said: "Is it you?"
The young man grinned and said, "Brother Li, you are fine."
Li Qi never expected that the day he fell from a tree and killed a tiger, he would actually save the prince!
I was thinking about when to visit this second-generation rich man, but I didn’t expect that this guy is actually a second-generation official, and he is also the largest second-generation official!
Damn it, you are really lucky!
This young master saved the prince's life. How can I walk away in Kyoto in the future?
Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that the reason why he came to study with the prince must not be Prince Jiang's operation, but the prince's intention.
"I have seen the prince." Li Qi came back to his senses and quickly knelt down and worshiped.
Jiang Qian stepped forward and helped him up and said: "You saved my life, so you don't have to be so polite. After that separation, I was waiting for you to come to me when I came back to Kyoto, but I couldn't wait, so I
I asked someone to find you, and when I found out that you are the deputy commander of the forward battalion, I asked my father to bring you over to study with me. Brother Li, won’t you be surprised?”
"No, no, I'm lucky to be able to study with the prince. How can I be surprised?"
Jiang Qian is only eighteen years old this year. He looks immature, but he and Li Qi are somewhat like-minded.
"What does Brother Li like to do on weekdays?" Jiang Qian took Li Qi to sit aside and asked while eating snacks.
Seeing that the prince had no airs at all, Li Qi felt relieved.
"It's nothing, I just like to eat and drink on weekdays, and recite poems and paint from time to time."
"Brother Li also likes to recite poetry and paint?"
"It's just a hobby, but it can't be put on the stage."
Grandma, since you can have a relationship with the prince, you have to hold on to this thigh firmly no matter what.
The young master is not good at reciting poems and drawings, but memorizing poems and storytelling is my strength.
"I came to you firstly to thank you for saving my life, and secondly because I want you to accompany me to relieve my boredom in the palace. After what happened last time I left the palace, my father did not allow me to go out again. Recently
It’s very boring to stay in the palace.”
boring?
Boredom is easy to deal with. What I am best at is killing boring time. You have found the right person this time.
"When does the prince have classes on weekdays?"
"Attend class?"
"I just study with my husband."
"The master comes here two or three times a month, and I usually study by myself," Jiang Qian said.
Only two or three classes a month?
Do you want it to be this good?
But from what I saw in the TV series, aren’t the princes very miserable?
"Then what does the prince usually do?" Li Qi asked.
Jiang Qian smiled wryly and spread his hands, saying, "Besides reading, there is nothing to do in the East Palace every day."
"Then I understand." Li Qi said, "Since the prince came to me to relieve his boredom, this matter is easy to handle... I wonder if the prince has ever played table tennis?"
"Billiards?"
…
For several days, Li Qi reported to the East Palace on time every day. In addition to reading stories to the prince every day, he also asked craftsmen to make billiard balls.
Jiang Qian also didn't expect that this Li Qi would be such an interesting person, and sometimes he wished he could stay in the palace.
Especially listening to his journey to the west every day, it makes me want to stop.
On this day, Li Qi was as usual. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, the young eunuch inside greeted him and said politely: "Master Li, you are here. The prince has been waiting for a long time."
Li Qi smiled and took out ten taels of silver and handed it over: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
Alas, other people go to work to make money, but I give money every day. I will have to earn all this money back one day.
