Three
However, for me, Li Yi, even if I find myself trapped at this moment, I must make long-term plans. I cannot lose sight of the ultimate direction due to the confusion of the present. " Li Yi's breath, warm and visible, brushed against Jing Yongfu's face, revealing a strong ambition on the young and handsome face.
A fiery light suddenly flashed in Li Yi's eyes. Although King Xie, Li Heyu, was over fifty years old and his body was visibly aging, his will was as strong as that of a twenty-year-old youth. He refused to lie on the dragon throne and languish; every day he insisted on going to the "Hundred Vegetable Garden" to exercise his muscles and bones
After Jing Yongfu was finally able to write a somewhat decent calligraphy, she wrote a full thirty pages of text for Sister Shui. This was a new martial arts training method tailored for Sister Shui, summarizing the martial arts classics that Jing Yongfu had studied after observing Sister Shui for some time. However, at that time, Sister Shui could not understand her 'heavenly script.' It was not until ten days later, when Jing Yongfu mastered basic painting techniques and created twenty dynamic illustrations for Sister Shui, that she could barely comprehend it. From those twenty illustrations, Madam Ruo completely lost hope in her artistic talents.
Jing Yongfu lowered his head in thought for a moment, then raised it and smiled, saying: "Alright"
After that day by the water, Sister Shui remained by the side of Jing Yongfu and Madam Ruo. Jing Yongfu could not imagine life without Sister Shui. Life is not an escape; it requires the essentials of daily living, and she, along with Madam Ruo—one who awakened after ten years of being a fool, and the other a beauty who has been served since birth—had never even washed a single piece of clothing, let alone cooked rice. Thus, the Jing Yongfu who comforted Sister Shui by the water was, in reality, in a more pitiful state than Sister Shui herself. Life is not an escape; it requires the essentials of daily living, and she, along with Madam Ruo—one who awakened after ten years of being a fool, and the other a beauty who has been served since birth—had never even washed a single piece of clothing, let alone cooked rice. Thus, the Jing Yongfu who comforted Sister Shui by the water was, in reality, in a more pitiful state than Sister Shui herself.
Jing Yongfu also guessed that he was the owner of these few carriages. Dressed in layers of fine clothing and holding a decorative fan, it would be strange for such a person to carry few belongings when going out! Once his servants finished unloading the items, Sister Shui finally had space to park the carriage at the inn. Strangely, the innkeeper had not yet shown up at this time.
Now you may tell me, what exactly did you say to Fang Xiaochun that he ran off like a rabbit
Li Yi's eyes flickered, his expression changed, but in the end, he said steadily: "Miss Ping, I am only acting out of goodwill. If you refuse, so be it; why must you provoke me at every turn?"
The days of the thick wheel began very peacefully. Jing Yongfu diligently studied various books, tirelessly learning any knowledge she could grasp and was interested in. However, beyond books, she was even more curious about human nature. A decade of nightmares made her observe the world with greater calmness; she knew that despite the many evildoers in this world, there were still good people, such as her most beloved mother. She also understood that some people's evil does not mean they will be evil for a lifetime, like the assassin who saved her at the last moment.
Your Highness, you are benevolent, but I am merely a subject of Jing and cannot serve Xie. However, I have a few words to convey to Your Highness. The world only sees the surface of the struggle for succession in the Xie Kingdom, yet it is unaware of the long-planned national transformation behind it. Among the four great families of the Xie Kingdom, three have entered the palace as maternal relatives, and the usurpation of power by maternal relatives has always been a taboo for every emperor. The emperors of the Xie Kingdom are not foolish; why then have they fulfilled the wishes of the Chen, Sima, and Yang families to dominate the harem? Which of the four great families is easy to provoke? Not only has King Xie provoked them, but he has also married into three of them, filling his harem with the daughters of the prominent families.
Sister Shui sniffed, which could be considered as tacitly agreeing to wait for them. Just as Jing Yongfu was about to lower the curtain, two pairs of small eyes gathered around. Jing Yongfu chuckled and did not retract his head, choosing to watch with them
The boy in this pair of siblings is named Jin Gen, and the girl is named Yu Cui. In fact, they were encountered by Shui Jie one day while she was wandering near a brothel. At that time, the madam was unwilling to purchase the boy and was entangled in a dispute with the traffickers. It was only after the two groups had argued for a while that they realized the pair of children was missing
Jing Yongfu nodded slightly, the whip fell, and the horse's hooves rose. She thought to herself: Fang Xiaochun must be extremely busy right now! Recently, banditry has surged, and while Ziliu and Houlun, being large cities, are unlikely to be affected, the towns between the two cities of Jingxie and the two nations often suffer from plundering. Every time Xuanyuan Buer receives news, he sends troops to encircle and suppress, but his efforts always end in failure. It is difficult to eliminate spies, and bandits are hard to eradicate. Now, the method she teaches them is the best way to eliminate pests. When bandits acquire wealth, they will inevitably need to spend it, right? With the border being unstable, pawnshops that can close will close early; where else can they find a place to exchange money? No matter how well-organized a group is, there will always be a few bad apples, just as no matter how clean a government is, there will always be corrupt officials. By having Fang Xiaochun open a pawnshop, it is akin to setting a mouse trap; there will always be mice that come knocking. As long as they follow the clues, they can naturally trace the person who pawned the stolen goods back to the bandits' details. At that time, they will be able to eliminate the spies and eradicate the bandits' hideout.
Sima Qiudi was not surprised by the rejection. He instructed the servant to bring a few small dishes and then peacefully enjoyed his own wine. Halfway through his meal, a servant brought a steamer of dim sum, saying it was a return gift from Jing Yongfu. A steamer of white, tender, and delicate rabbit cakes, each one looking adorably clumsy.
Li Yi furrowed his brows and said, "Let's discuss it after we finish speaking!"
Alright! There are some things that Jing Yongfu has long wanted to share with someone. Mother and Sister Shui are both very good and intelligent, but they are not suitable for such topics. However, Li Yi is suitable, and very much so. The blood of the Emperor Yu flows through her veins, and the sensitivity to politics inherited from the Emperor Yu has kept her attentive to the current situation
I am giving it to him to see
Chef! Jing Yongfu patted his shoulder, "Actually, this is my first time here as well"
I see. Jing Yongfu thought to himself, the attire and demeanor of this young man are certainly not those of a mere merchant's son. Moreover, aside from the moment of losing his composure and dropping the jade fan, his words and actions exude a gentle and modest demeanor—this young man must be from a prestigious family of the Xie Kingdom, known for its generations of refinement.
Jing Yongfu was lost in thought when Li Yi unexpectedly grasped her hand that was resting on the table. With a complex expression, Li Yi said: "Dafu, I won't force you to accompany me, but please do not pretend not to know me in the future, alright?"
Jing Yongfu was taken aback; she indeed had shown him disrespect, referring to him as "I" instead of "this palace." She was merely a fourteen-year-old ordinary commoner, while he was the Crown Prince of the Xie Kingdom, second only to one and above ten thousand. This generosity made Jing Yongfu feel ashamed. Moved by this, she uttered some words that she should not have said.
Jing Yongfu lifted a corner of the curtain, and several luxurious carriages were parked in front of our vehicle. Observing the servants busily unloading items from the carriages, it seemed that wealthy guests had arrived at the inn.
Jing Yongfu felt no attachment to the place where she was born and raised for ten years, the Wangfu of Jingguo Capital, nor to the residence in Houlun where she had lived in seclusion for three years. Regardless, Jingguo was the homeland of both her and her mother. Being away from home was already tragic enough, and moving further away from her native land would be even more sorrowful. Therefore, at the beginning, Jing Yongfu and Madam Ruo chose to settle at Houlun, on the border of Jingguo.
Jing Yongfu opened his eyes wide. The young man shyly said: "My father is the shop owner, and the manager is our family servant. Today, I came out to travel here, so they naturally regard me as important. I feel quite embarrassed to have caused trouble for everyone as soon as I arrived"
Wu Chu opened the car door and carried down two children. Jing Yongfu then jumped out of the car to assist his mother. As his mother stood on the ground, the surface emitted a soft sound. Jing Yongfu turned back to look and saw that the young man had dropped his folding fan on the ground, his pair of almond-shaped eyes, even more beautiful than those of a woman, gazing intently at Madam Ruo.
Li Yi said in a deep voice: "I would like to ask Da Fu, once the dust settles on the competition among the four sons for the heir, how should we proceed to achieve great undertakings?"
The entrance of the half-mountain cave before me is a striking yellow rock, barely resembling a "dragon shape"
Li Yi shook his head
Jing Yongfu suddenly felt a sweat in her palms, what had she said? She suddenly felt like an ignorant child, foolishly hoping to move the heavy wheel with her feeble strength... Yet, within her nature, this small force stubbornly and relentlessly existed...
Ah? Chef Wu Zhang opened his mouth wide
She cannot cook
Jing Yongfu gazed at Li Yi and asked: "Your Highness, do you think your father is a timid person? Is he prone to anxiety and indecision?"
In the year of Hou Lun, Sister Shui lamented that she was getting old, and even with the guidance of a "master" like Jing Yongfu, she had no chance of reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. Jing Yongfu casually remarked, "Isn't that easy? Just find a few children and teach them from the beginning." As a result, Sister Shui went to the streets of Hou Lun to wait and wait, and after two months, she picked up a pair of five-year-old twin siblings, leaving Jing Yongfu utterly impressed. How could one possibly find a pair of orphans without parents, and moreover, twins? Sister Shui replied, "By waiting," and added, "I waited for two months." This left Jing Yongfu feeling stifled.
Jing Yongfu found the names Jin and Yu too vulgar, so he removed one character from each, naming the boy A Gen and the girl Xiao Cui. At that time, A Gen had a cold expression on his face, while Xiao Cui entered the Ping family's house like a frightened little rabbit. After the door closed, Sister Shui pulled one of them and walked towards Jing Yongfu, introducing them: "This is Da Fu! But she is not at all Da Fu..." Jing Yongfu's smile froze halfway, and this image was forever etched in the hearts of the two children. This is how she introduced them: "This is Da Fu! But she is not at all Da Fu..." Jing Yongfu's smile froze halfway, and this image was forever etched in the hearts of the two children.
Jing Yongfu did not learn martial arts, as she had already passed the optimal age for training. However, this does not prevent her from enjoying martial arts; even if she cannot practice, she can still observe. Shui Jie is the physical martial arts book that she has watched the most. Shui Jie possesses exceptionally solid foundational skills, but unfortunately, she lacks guidance from a renowned master and has only learned superficial techniques. Therefore, for a period of time, when Shui Jie practiced martial arts, she often noticed Jing Yongfu staring intently, her face reflecting a mixture of envy and regret.
Then why give it to someone else? Chef Wu did not understand; he clearly had made many good dishes, yet she chose to give away something that looked good but was not tasty.
Since the name of Daifuku is renowned throughout the world, let this name truly resonate across the globe! She had thought this way before, but upon seeing her mother's worried eyes, she gave it up
Jing Yongfu blinked and said: "I have heard that Your Highness has always been respectful towards the virtuous and talented, yet Da Fu is merely a naive little girl who does not know the heights of heaven or the depths of the earth. How could Your Highness possibly regard Da Fu in the same light?"
Unfortunately, more often than not, Jing Yongfu is an incompetent person; for instance, there is a rather ridiculous incident that she is too embarrassed to speak of
A few fellows rushed over, but they stood behind the young man and did not move. Jing Yongfu continued to question, but he saw the young man withdraw his gaze, bend down to pick up the fan, and clasping it in his palm, he cupped his fist in salute and said: "This young sir, do not take offense at the lack of greeting; this establishment is currently under my management"
Jing Yongfu's management of the natural residence is anything but blind; she has meticulously arranged everything from top to bottom. She has skillfully leveraged the sympathy of local officials such as Xuanyuan Buer, while also demonstrating her own capabilities. When she recounted the unit prices, total costs, and consumption details of the purchased items with the precision of a single copper coin, it left all the staff astonished. At the moment she captivated everyone, Madam Ruo was right behind her, covering her mouth and laughing.
"What kind of financial opportunity is worth one thousand taels?" Li Yi asked coldly from the side
Jing Yongfu was imagining, when Li Yi suddenly came over early in the morning, only to find the place deserted. Fang Xiaochun foolishly took a glance at the contract handed to him by the assistant (referred to as the management fee, which would belong to him after five years if Jing Yongfu did not return to Tiantianju), ... and then he wished he could tear it up ...
Made of glutinous rice, solid and without filling. It is merely something that looks good! In another instance, Jing Yongfu said this while tossing one into his mouth.
However, it is quite ambitious, isn't it
Li Yi finally asked his doubt: "Ping Dafu, are you not afraid of me at all?"
In the evening, the carriage entered the wide city and stopped in front of the Jingshan Inn, where Sister Shui had lived in her early years. Only the voice of Sister Shui in front of the carriage could be heard muttering: "After not coming for several years, this inn has become so prosperous that even stopping a carriage is this difficult?"
I am Sima Qiudi, may I ask how you would like to be addressed, young sir?
At this time, Li Yi was also very young and only thought of it as a "financial opportunity," so he did not pursue the matter further. Meanwhile, the even younger Jing Yongfu was solely focused on escaping from him. As a result, an event that could have been avoided occurred, and it is difficult to assess whether it was good or bad for Jing Yongfu's fate
In this world, a mother is the most important
Jing Yongfu once again lifted his teacup and said leisurely: "Your Highness, since you intend to set off back to the royal capital, there is no need to concern yourself with matters left behind in Ziliu. Moreover, if my guess is correct, Your Highness should be here to seek me out for punishment, and regardless of whether I agree or not, you will take my belongings and pack me up to go to the royal capital."
Departing from Ziliu in the west, a group of travelers journeys along the way. They admire the scenery at Qinghua Lake, the Thirteen Peaks of Nanshan, and the ancient city of Shengjing.
Fang Xiaochun quickly took out two large denomination banknotes from his pocket and hurriedly bowed to Li Yi, saying: "I beg your pardon for my rudeness, this matter is of great importance, and I need to attend to it promptly! Your Highness, I take my leave!" He then strode away with great haste.
Even though Li Yi's path to becoming the King of Xie is arduous, with the solid backing of Li and Yu, what is there to fear? And what about her? Her father has given her a name that is renowned throughout the world. Hehe, Da Fu!
Leaving a place and rarely reminiscing about it afterward, does this make a person cold or strong
About half a month later, a group of people arrived at the Huanglong Cave on Qinglian Mountain. Jing Yongfu could not help but show off his good memory on the mountain path, reciting a passage from a travelogue of a predecessor: "More than thirty miles north of Jiangjun, the stone peaks of Qinglian Mountain rise abruptly, with caves piercing through the peaks. First, ascend the northern slope, then head east towards the southern cave. The rocks are yellow in color and shaped like a dragon, hence it is called 'Huanglong'..."
Jing Yongfu felt a warmth in his heart again. He used the term "consult" but spoke in a calm manner, saying: "Let us think about other matters once the dust has settled. Moreover, Your Highness, I am a person of Jing!"
The coarse men's clothing, with the collar and cuffs having turned black from not being washed for over half a month, and the face painted black to avoid drawing attention, is likely to appear even more disheveled compared to the water sister, who, despite her sorrow, is dressed neatly.
It is regrettable for Lady Ruo that Jing Yongfu has no talent for the arts. He can only appreciate music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, much like his culinary skills, where he can only speak of it but not practice it. Moreover, he views the time spent on creating a piece of artwork as a waste of precious life. He believes that the primary function of clothing is to provide warmth and protect the body from harm, and engaging in needlework is akin to meticulously carving patterns on a fine bow and arrow, which is unnecessary. Therefore, apart from the time when he used a needle and thread at the age of ten to escape the royal residence, he has never touched them again.
Fang Xiaochun's eyes clearly showed a change: "How do you know I have two thousand taels on me?"
Jing Yongfu was taken aback and gestured for him to release her hand
"It's quite verbose, Your Highness, do you wish to hear it?" Jing Yongfu shook his head and did not want to continue speaking
"Dafuku, you are so well-informed about the situation in my country, what about the situation in the world?" Li Yi hurriedly released her.
What he truly wanted to ask was, "How did you know I intended to buy it for 2,200?" Jing Yongfu glanced at him sideways and did not respond
I just want to ascertain your abilities. Li Yi, unable to apologize, simply blocked the guy who was trying to slip away
Jing Yongfu said confidently: "Mother, this is not called slipping away, this is called withdrawing!"
If Madam, Sister Shui, and A Gen Xiao Cui are accustomed to the "skilled" commentary of Jing Yongfu and are reluctant to offer praise, it is fortunate that Chef Wu has given them enough face, "I did not expect that the shopkeeper is not only proficient in cooking but also well-versed in geography and local customs"
Jing Yongfu squinted and smiled: "This is not for Your Highness, it can only be said to Lord Fang. My lord, please lean in closer..."
Jing Yongfu attempted to push his arms away, but it was indeed like a mayfly shaking a tree. She began to regret it; after all, she was too young and impulsive, moved by Li Yi's approachability. However, can one truly trust a member of the imperial family?
Tu Gang personally came to deliver the message, and the attendants appeared sorrowful. Before leaving, Tu Gang subtly said to Jing Yongfu: "General Xuanyuan entrusted me to convey his thanks to Miss Xie."
One person responded to her, saying: "Dear madam, we will finish moving shortly, could you please wait a moment."
There is nothing much to say, but since I am about to leave, matters must be explained. Moreover, there are things that need to be clarified... Upon seeing his expression, Jing Yongfu understood that she should focus on the important points and quickly said, "I told him to open more pawn shops along the Ziliu and Houren lines, and that's it!"
It is just like this, and it boldly declares itself as Da Fu. Every time I recall Jing Yongfu, I feel a sense of shame...
Having met Lady Ruo, Jing Yongfu conveyed to her the events that were about to unfold and the decisions that had been made. She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked with a smile, "Are we going to slip away again this time?"
What did you say to him
Prince Xie married three noblewomen, yet he chose to establish a consort from the daughter of a scholarly family with three generations of literary tradition. The intention behind this decision is likely misunderstood by the world; it is not a case of love at first sight, as true affection is rare in royal families. Nor is it out of fear of the powerful families behind the three consorts, worried that one might gain too much influence, making it difficult to manage the others. If Prince Xie were genuinely concerned about the dangers posed by maternal relatives, he would not have married in the first place, let alone marry three in succession.
Jing Yongfu took a deep breath and said: "This is an era of the 'Three Kingdoms'. To which family will the flowers fall, it remains undecided! However, if your Xie Kingdom can safely navigate through the struggle among the four heirs, it will become the most powerful contender in the world!" Although Emperor Yu is strong, Jing Kingdom is not a one-man nation, and for many years, the officials of Jing Kingdom have been corrupt, with hidden dangers accumulating, leading to a gradual decline in national strength; although Qiman is strong, as long as the national system remains unchanged, it will not be able to meddle in the Central Plains; only Xie Kingdom, with its strong nation and wealthy people, can eliminate the power struggles of the aristocracy and, with the emergence of a few renowned generals, bring stability to the world!
Li Yi indeed kept his promise and did not come to disturb again. Jing Yongfu, along with Madam Ruo, Sister Shui, and the burden of a person, Chef Wu, who was born and raised in Ziliu, refused to stay in his hometown. He vowed to follow Jing Yongfu for life, yet he did not get into the carriage, instead choosing to follow Sister Shui to watch her drive away.
Liu Jishui had keen eyesight and quickly recognized that this was a mother and daughter pair. Half out of curiosity and half out of compassion, she chose to accompany them. Along the way, the three engaged in conversation, and Jing Yongfu also became aware of her temperament. Upon arriving at the inn, she discovered that the abilities of this mother and daughter in certain aspects were truly pitiful, prompting her to voluntarily take on the "survival plan." With her involvement, Jing Yongfu and Ruofu were able to bid farewell to the inn forever and happily step into the life of a small home and garden.
Jing Yongfu whispered to Fang Xiaochun, and the changes in Fang Xiaochun's eyes became increasingly evident, as if her eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. Although Li Yi possessed exceptional martial skills and could easily use his internal energy to hear Jing Yongfu's words, his status and pride as the Crown Prince did not permit him to do so
The "Hundred Vegetable Garden" is a vegetable plot that was created in the Imperial Garden when he was thirty years old, with the intention of sharing the joys and hardships of farming and growing vegetables with the people
As the manager of a large-scale hotel, it is surprising that he cannot even make the simplest fried rice or scrambled eggs. After perusing countless cookbooks and extravagantly burning numerous pots, Jing Yongfu gave up. The chef at Tiangongju was even more frustrated; the manager only spoke without practicing, yet seemed to understand much more than the chef. Thus, the chef firmly decided to follow the manager for life! Where could one find such a shrewd and capable boss? However, Jing Yongfu suspected that the chef's unwavering loyalty to her had another reason. She suspected that the chef had taken a liking to Sister Shui.
He is just like that jade rabbit cake
At this point, Jing Yongfu felt a tinge of jealousy; Li Yi was truly fortunate, and she could not compare! He was born with everything arranged by an emperor father, just waiting for him to grow up, and when the time was right, everything would be handed over to him. Of course, the old emperor must have observed him for several years before designating him as the crown prince.
At noon, a group of people rested at the foot of Qinglian Mountain. Jing Yongfu would not miscalculate the distance and time, nor would he allow Madam Ruo to sleep outdoors in the wilderness— their pace could be described as tortoise-like. If it were Li Yi, perhaps he could return to the capital in half a month, but Jing Yongfu deliberately took his time to enjoy the scenery and avoid rushing with him.
Jing Yongfu's words to Li Yi have revealed her inner thoughts. In this world, in this Three Kingdoms era, she is indeed interested. When she awoke from her dream that day, she had thought of seeking from her father what she was entitled to in this world. The royal blood flowing vigorously within her, the memories that remain in her mind are few but all unbearable. No one is born a strong person, and no one is born to be abandoned. Jing Yongfu does not owe Jing Shenmao, but he owes her; what he owes her is not a childhood, but a name. No one is born a strong person, and no one is born to be abandoned. Jing Yongfu does not owe Jing Shenmao, but he owes her; what he owes her is not a childhood, but a name
Jing Yongfu smiled, took a sip of green tea, set down the cup lid, imagining that life was beautiful, but reality was harsh. Li Yi and Fang Xiaochun were sitting seriously in front of her. She placed the shop contract in front of them and said to Fang Xiaochun: "Give me 1,000 taels, and I will give you the shop. Give me 2,000 taels, and I will additionally provide you with another source of income"
"My surname is Ping." Upon hearing his surname, Jing Yongfu could not help but think of King Pei, Li Xian, whose mother was from the Sima family. Her voice inevitably turned a bit colder, "We have just met by chance; young master, do not stand on ceremony. It is only proper for a host to quickly arrange for us to rest."
At the time of lighting the lamps, Sima Qiudi sent someone to invite the Heike family to a banquet, but Jing Yongfu declined, stating that her family had prepared their own five chefs, and among them was the head chef of the renowned Tianranju.
In fact, Jing Yongfu has more than a dozen methods to extricate herself from the natural refuge surrounded by "heavy troops". This is not the same as before; she is no longer the Da Fu who relied solely on her mother. The three years of thick wheels and one year of lingering time have not been wasted.
However, the heavens do not always align with human wishes. In the third year of her arrival in Houlun, a meddlesome aunt, after visiting, extolled the beauty of Lady Ruo to the skies. As tranquility was about to be disrupted, Jing Yongfu had no choice but to leave Jingguo. Although she had long prepared for this, intending to slip away to Ziliu once Jing Shenmao found Houlun, she did not expect that the force driving her departure was not imperial power, but rather the whispers of the common people. This incident also enlightened her that some matters cannot be concealed, nor can they be avoided. Concealing one's brilliance is futile; a pearl shines on its own. Thus, after arriving in Ziliu, Jing Yongfu resolved to take action. She had never liked idly consuming her resources, and besides, no one in Xieguo recognized her and her daughter. As a result, she successfully managed a hotel and boldly adopted the name "Ping Dafu," which was fitting, as her name was originally Dafu.
In fact, what you said, although I did not fully understand it before, I was not completely oblivious to it. Li Yi gazed deeply at her, "Father wishes to eliminate the potential sources of instability in the Xie Kingdom in one fell swoop"
Xiao Cui tilted her head in confusion, while the lady smiled behind her. Jing Yongfu lazily remarked: "Because that Young Master Sima simply does not know how to eat"
Li Yi asked in confusion: "Why?"
Jing Yongfu felt a chill in his heart and raised his voice to shout: "Where is the shopkeeper? In such a large store, is there not a single person to attend to customers?"
If you do not wish to speak, then do not speak. If you do not want to accompany me, then go on your own. However, Da Fu, do not act as if you have never seen me or never spoken the words you said today!" Li Yi withdrew his hand, made way, and smiled as he uttered two words: "No way!"
He retreated to advance, showing forbearance and no longer insisting on inviting her to accompany him, yet she still decided to slip away right under his nose. She had already repaid his generosity too much.
Jing Yongfu paused for a moment, and at this time, Li Yi's eyes shone even brighter: "Continue speaking, do not stop!"
Jing Yongfu, who also paid attention to King Xie, once lamented that Li Heyu could only eat the fruits and vegetables he grew himself, a point that Emperor Yu could not compare to. She spoke with great respect: "Your father is an extraordinary emperor! He has paved a difficult path for himself to ensure that you become a wise ruler. Do not let him down! You must understand that no matter what happens in the future, he will always stand by your side, although this is inherently his own side! This side represents the destiny of the Xie Kingdom. As long as it benefits the Xie Kingdom, he will act without hesitation; conversely, if it is detrimental, he will resolutely eliminate it!" You must understand that no matter what happens in the future, he will always stand by your side, although this is inherently his own side! This side represents the destiny of the Xie Kingdom. As long as it benefits the Xie Kingdom, he will act without hesitation; conversely, if it is detrimental, he will resolutely eliminate it!
Sima Qiudi hurriedly instructed the servant to lead the Ping family members to the guest room
Jing Yongfu smiled: "In that case, Your Highness thinks that Da Fu speaks quite well. Then Your Highness must remember, once you leave Ziliu, there will be no more Ping Da Fu in this Tianranju! Naturally, Your Highness has never seen this person!"
As the slanting sun sets in the west, the Jingshan Inn, built against the mountains, is resplendent in autumn hues. Every tree and stone is coated with a layer of faint golden light. A young man appears gracefully. He holds a jade folding fan, dressed in splendid attire with a delicate appearance, around the age of fifteen. In a manner unbefitting his noble status, he personally approaches Sister Shui, fanning himself, and says: "Sister, I apologize for keeping you waiting for so long. Later, I would like to treat you all to tea! While traveling, I intended to seek comfort, yet I ended up bringing too much!"
