Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Whoever provokes her, she will only...
What kind of madness is this?
Li Shuyao didn't understand. She was shocked, so shocked that the emotion that had just filled her heart disappeared in an instant.
She vaguely felt that the posture of the person in front of her was familiar.
After a pause, she pulled a hand out of his arms with some difficulty, reached out to his back, and patted him gently twice. "Your Majesty, it's already very late. Why don't you go to bed first?"
Get some sleep, maybe you’ll feel more awake tomorrow?
It must be said that little Yinzhen and his Khan father do have some similarities.
When I'm with her, I always get lost in my own thoughts, and I don't know what's going on in my head, but when I come to my senses, I see this.
She was excited, thrilled, and a little moved, as if she had done something great.
The emperor regained some of his sanity after being slapped by her.
It was just that his body was slow to react. He gripped Li Shuyao's wrist tightly with his big hand, his thin lips moved slightly, and his tone was unbearably deep, "You don't want to?"
Li Shuyao: "..."
It's unfair, she didn't say anything.
Li Shuyao blinked and was about to speak.
The grip on her wrist suddenly loosened, and the tall man holding her seemed to finally react. "Indeed, you've always been timid."
So it’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they don’t dare.
The Emperor sighed inwardly, took Li Shuyao's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it softly, "Then I will wait until the time comes to confer titles on the harem, and then I will promote you."
Otherwise, if both times they were promoted individually, you don't have to guess, you know that some people in the harem must be jealous and crazy, which would also be detrimental to the safety of Li Shuyao and Yinzhen.
Li Shuyao blinked again.
Yeah, okay.
She's used to it.
She changed her position and continued to nestle in the man's arms, "Your Majesty, can I request a few opera troupes to come to the palace to perform?"
She was a little tired of reading storybooks and wanted to see an active troupe, just like watching a TV series.
The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this and asked her why she didn't want a cook this time?
Li Shuyao felt a little embarrassed, "Because, I have already gone through all the chefs from all over the country."
Her mouth can be said to have tasted all the delicacies in the world.
Moreover, she was a bit of a flash in the pan. She asked the cook to come back, but after eating for a few days, she got tired of him.
After trying many different kinds of cuisine, I am most accustomed to the sweeter Jiangnan local cuisine.
This is probably the similarity between the original owner and her.
Since she had a request, the emperor, who was deeply moved, naturally had no choice but to agree.
After thinking about it, he still felt it was not enough, so he brought up the old topic again, "Or, how about I give you, Father, a leisurely position?"
Work for a few years first, and then find a reason to be transferred back to Beijing for promotion. I don't seek to make any achievements, but only to avoid making any mistakes.
In this way, when Yinzhen grows up a little, he can naturally raise the flag of the Li family, so that no one in the former dynasty or the harem can say that his concubine Lingpin has an obscure family background and comes to the position illegitimately.
Li Shuyao shook her head vigorously when she heard it, "No, no."
"Your Majesty, my father doesn't have much ability and can't be a good official."
"Besides, his lifelong ambition is to educate people. Being an official... that would be too difficult for him."
The Qing Dynasty is different from the modern times.
There is still home under the country.
In the original body's memory, the Li family was actually quite chaotic.
In short, her small family is actually part of a branch of a very large family. In the early years, because her original father had no ambition, he separated from other members of the tribe early on.
In recent years, because she entered the palace as a concubine, other branches and the main line of the Li family learned the news and swarmed around her, vaguely intending to make her family the main branch of the Li family.
When there are too many people, things tend to become complicated.
In order to prevent those people from flaunting themselves in the name of Li Shuyao, her father and mother have been working very hard. In the monthly letters home, the words and expressions have gradually changed from elegant to vulgar. In a letter a few months ago, her father even used phrases such as "his father's" and "dog stuff".
This is enough to show how troublesome those tribesmen are.
If her father became an official again at this time and was promoted to the capital in a few years, wouldn't the other members of the Li family be overjoyed?
I'm afraid that the position of the head of the Li family will have to be handed over to his father.
Also, in a few years, when all the little ones in the Forbidden City grow up, there might be another battle for the throne like in history.
At that time, her father would be automatically classified as a member of Yinzhen's party. Even if he was unwilling, he would be swept up by the situation and unknowingly join in some messy party struggle.
And then lose another fight... wouldn't that be a catastrophic disaster?
For the sake of her peaceful and tranquil later life, Li Shuyao vowed to never agree to let her father serve as an official in the court.
It's also nice to just be a teacher.
Of course, she couldn't tell all of these concerns to the man in front of her.
So she picked out some of the bad things about the Li family and told them.
"...He's never been a good person since he was little. He's always teasing cats and dogs, and he's a tyrant. Last time, he was riding a horse in the downtown area and injured several vendors. Then my father, out of justice, took him directly to the government office. His father and mother made a scene in front of our house for three days and even threatened to go to the capital to file a complaint..."
"...There was another one who lost ten thousand taels of silver in a gambling den. He didn't dare go home, so he asked my father to borrow some. My father said he didn't have any, and he immediately turned cold and said a lot of unpleasant things. He said that just because his daughter had become a phoenix, they had forgotten their roots. He also said that if I got into trouble in the palace one day, wouldn't they, the clansmen, have to work together to find a solution?"
"Oh, by the way, many people have come to ask my father if there is any way to have their daughters participate in the selection and stay in the palace to serve, or go to the Qianqing Palace, or come to the Changchun Palace for concubines..."
The palace selection was held once a year, and all daughters of bondservant origin had to participate. Those who failed the selection would be sent back home, and those who passed the selection might not be lucky enough to stay in the palace.
Among them, those with good looks and complexion might be given to a prince of the royal family or a capable official of the previous dynasty as a princess.
Those who are not good-looking will be tested to see if they have any special talents. If they are good at women's work, they will be assigned to the embroidery workshop. If they have a good memory, they will be assigned to the Imperial Hospital to do work such as selecting medicinal materials. If they are good at cooking, they will be assigned to the imperial kitchen, etc.
Those who are finally screened out and have no beauty or special skills will all be sent to the Imperial Household Department. After a period of training, they will be assigned jobs.
But there is a difference.
It all depends on whether the family has power, whether there are people in the Imperial Household Department, or whether the family has enough money.
Therefore, Li Shuyao felt that her original body's experience was also quite magical. She was obviously beautiful, but she was not assigned to the royal family to be a princess.
Even though her family didn't spend much money, she was sent to the maid's quarters near the Qianqing Palace after entering the palace.
After she traveled through time, she only wanted to be a palace maid and live out her days in retirement, but she was assigned to the imperial kitchen and even caught the emperor's eye...
To be honest, she didn't understand how she ended up like this.
So when faced with the complaints in the letter from her original father and mother, she didn't know how to respond. After holding it in for a long time, she simply wrote a few words in the letter: Don't be angry, if you get sick from anger, no one can replace you.
Then her father must have been even angrier, so angry that he didn't even bother to write her a single letter home for the second and third months.
In the fourth month, along with a thin letter from home came a complete set of the Four Books and Five Classics, and some other books, totaling thirty or forty volumes.
Li Shuyao understood instantly. This meant that he despised her low level of education and her inability to write well-balanced sentences. He wanted her to read books instead of reading those love stories all day long...
When Li Shuyao said this, the man holding her became even more silent.
After a long while, he frowned and said, "Since the children in your family are so incompetent, your father should discipline them strictly."
Li Shuyao spread her hands, her tone extremely aggrieved, "But Your Majesty, my father has already separated from them!"
"How can we manage this? We are already members of two families."
"But even so, blood ties are still inseparable."
Li Shuyao blinked in confusion.
After all, she still doesn't have a deep understanding of ancient family culture.
Seeing her like this, the emperor knew that it was useless to say anything, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, I will send someone to deal with this matter, don't think too much about it."
Li Shuyao puffed out her cheeks.
She didn't think much about it.
The Emperor continued, "From what you said, your father's lifelong ambition is to teach and educate people. How about I open a school for him?"
Li Shuyao continued to shake her head vigorously, until she felt dizzy and dazed. She slammed her head into the emperor's chest and hugged him tightly like an octopus: "No, no."
"Look at me and you'll understand. Although my father can teach, he knows he's not very knowledgeable. At home, he only teaches the children in the neighborhood so they can learn to read and understand some principles."
To put it simply, her father can only teach in elementary school.
But the emperor insisted on opening a university and asked his father to teach an entire university population. It’s scary to think about it.
I don't want this, and I don't want that.
The emperor suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He raised his hand and slapped a certain spot below Li Shuyao's waistline a few times. With an expression full of displeasure, he said, "How do you know what your father is thinking?"
"No one knows a father better than his daughter, and I know that!"
"And Your Majesty, just by looking at me, you can tell what my mother's family is like. If my father were truly learned, why would he allow me to read storybooks all day long, and why would he allow me to read all kinds of books?"
There is some truth in this.
The emperor was also fooled for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. "Then how should I reward you?"
Li Shuyao rolled her eyes. "Your Majesty, are you going to the prairie in a few days?"
Because Yinzhen was still young, when Concubine Tong was drawing up the list of concubines traveling with him, she ruthlessly crossed out her name and the name of Concubine Rong. Therefore, among the concubines traveling with him this time, the one with the highest rank was Concubine Hui.
Below them were the concubines Nianhulu and Hesheli, as well as two noble ladies from the grasslands and five or six maids-in-waiting.
Before and after the time travel, she had never been to the prairie, nor had she touched a horse. At the moment, she was quite interested, and the clear little tail note rose upwards, as if with a hook.
His thoughts and intentions are clearly written on his face, how can anyone not see it?
The emperor immediately asked her jokingly, "Can you ride a horse?"
Li Shuyao paused and shook her head. "No, but Your Majesty, we don't need to ride a horse to go to the grassland. I can learn it when we get there."
"Go and tell all the princes and ministers on the grassland to see how it is possible that an emperor like me, proficient in riding, archery, and martial arts, has a concubine who can't even get on a horse?"
Li Shuyao: “?”
What a shame and humiliation!
She pursed her lips and stopped talking. The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and a bit of mist slowly appeared in her almond-shaped pupils.
Then she sat up straight with a huff, "Your Majesty, are you disliking me?"
The emperor reached out and flicked her puffy cheeks with interest. "So what?"
Li Shuyao became even angrier at once, but she couldn't think of what to do.
She circled around the man with her fists clenched, refusing to look him in the eye, leaving him with only a round back like a pufferfish.
She frowned and thought for a long time, then discovered with grievance.
There's no way, absolutely no way, she's just a ball of cotton, whoever messes with her, she'll just walk away furiously...
