The next day, Fang Zhengyi got up late again.
Anyway, no one knows that I'm returning to Beijing. If I go early, I'll just be asking for trouble. The longer I can delay, the better.
He did not get up until noon, and after getting dressed and having lunch, he took a carriage with a package and went to the palace.
When he arrived at the Eastern Palace, he saw the bored Li Yuanzhao and Liu Jin who was serving him.
When the two heard the eunuch's report, they looked towards Fang Zheng in surprise.
Especially Liu Jin, his eyes were shining.
Finally the savior has arrived... I wonder if there will be any hope this time.
Li Yuanzhao greeted him with a grin: "Old Fang, you are finally back. I have been so bored these days! I just can't bear this. Let me see what specialties you brought."
Fang Zheng shook his head and smiled, then sat down at the table: "Don't worry, Your Highness! I brought you a lot of good things!"
As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his bag and untied the bag.
“Heifer jerky!”
"What?" Li Yuanzhao looked at the beef jerky in surprise and said hesitantly, "A heifer...? Isn't it forbidden to eat this kind of beef... Did your county slaughter the cows?"
"Does Wu Sheng know?" "Yes."
"This man moved to Taoyuan County but did not change his nature. He even committed adultery with a cow in the county. The cow could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Then it was made into jerky. There is a cow slaughtering order!" As he spoke, Fang Zhengyi took out another cow slaughtering order from the package.
Although cattle are slaughtered frequently in the county, they all require certificates. Fang Zhengyi is very thorough in this regard and prints a batch of cattle slaughtering books every month.
Li Yuanzhao was delighted when he heard this and felt comfortable.
Liu Jin, a poor talker, can only flatter and curry favor, and he has to rely on Lao Fang's nonsense to sound good.
Then Li Yuanzhao asked excitedly: "Tell me what's new in Taoyuan County?"
"Yes, there is a new stage play in the county called "The Mystery of the Ancient Tomb in the Siheyuan Courtyard". It is very exciting. I will take you to watch it when I have time. Also..."
The two chatted casually, and Liu Jin on the side kept staring at Fang Zhengyi with shining eyes.
Fang Zhengyi had already seen it out of the corner of his eye, and was frightened by Liu Jin's stare. After a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and stared back at him without any hesitation.
Liu Jin was still staring.
Fang Zheng was puzzled, and then after a little thought, he remembered that Liu Jin might still want me to help him give birth to a new child?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng burst out laughing and took out a magnifying glass from the package.
Li Yuanzhao saw it and asked curiously: "Lao Fang, what is this?"
Fang Zheng raised the magnifying glass and said proudly: "This artifact is called the Golden Regeneration Mirror, a food amplifier. It can quench thirst by looking at plums and fill hunger by drawing cakes!"
"Liu Jin! This one is for you. Where are the photos?"
Liu Jin was overjoyed when he heard this! He snatched the magnifying glass and ran away drooling.
Li Yuanzhao stroked his chin, wondering, "Looking at plums to quench thirst... drawing cakes to satisfy hunger? Isn't that useless!?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly, took out another handful and held it over the cup in front of Li Yuanzhao.
The cup suddenly became bigger! Li Yuanzhao was stunned, and then said in surprise: "This is a good thing!"
Fang Zheng handed over a magnifying glass, and Li Yuanzhao began to look around with the glass, exclaiming in admiration every time he looked at something.
"Good stuff! Really good stuff! Father has often complained about not being able to see clearly these past two years. If he had this mirror, wouldn't it be much easier to read the memorials?"
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little moved. He really didn't expect that the first thing the prince thought of was to give it to His Majesty. His filial piety was truly commendable.
"It's just right to cure his blurred vision! I've been beaten for no reason many times in recent days!"
“..................”
"Come on, let me teach Your Highness the new way to use this magnifying glass." Fang Zhengyi quickly changed the subject. It would be too embarrassing to continue talking about it.
Fang Zhengyi took Li Yuanzhao's magnifying glass and walked outside, finding a place with good sunlight.
After focusing, I let the camera go and soon smoke began to rise from the grass.
Li Yuanzhao was amazed again, and then asked in confusion: "What is the principle behind this!?"
"It's just gathering the sun's rays into one place, and when the heat rises it ignites. That's called solar energy!"
Li Yuanzhao nodded in confusion, but soon stopped thinking about it. The two of them began to lie on the grass looking for ants.
Soon Liu Jin came back with a sad face, as if he had lost his parents, holding up a magnifying glass and crying, "Master Fang... this is useless!"
"Why is it useless? Have you finished taking the photo?"
Liu Jin rubbed his eyes and said aggrievedly: "It's bigger, it just looks bigger, but it's still broken!"
Fang Zhengyi sighed, stood up, patted his shoulder, and consoled him, "That's it! It won't be used in the palace anyway, so it's the same whether it looks big or it really is."
"Xiao Jin, don't be discouraged. Life is like this. Everything is imperfect, so how can it be perfect?"
"Besides, when you are old, all your memories will be sweet. People who have been castrated have a long life span, so you can have several more years of sweetness than others! And if you miss your brother, you can use a magnifying glass to look at him."
"As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise..."
"fraud!"
Before Fang Zheng could finish his words, Liu Jin ran away crying with a magnifying glass in hand...
Li Yuanzhao stood up after having a great time, looked at Fang Zheng and laughed, "Old Fang, you really lack virtue."
Fang Zheng chuckled twice: "I am concerned about him. Okay, let's not talk about other things. Let's get down to business. Has there been any criticism of me in the court these days?"
Li Yuanzhao's expression also turned serious: "Something was wrong after you left. There was no response, and no one even mentioned you."
"I feel like that group of people is plotting something!"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng lowered his head and thought. It was indeed abnormal that no one had impeached him after such a long time.
Moreover, someone in Taoyuan County was trying to find out about him. Maybe those old guys who disliked him were planning something big.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. Once the sweet potatoes come out, whatever these people say is bullshit!
"Old Fang? Old Fang? Say something!" Li Yuanzhao became anxious when he saw Fang Zheng didn't respond for a long time. It seemed that Old Fang was at his wit's end.
Fang Zheng changed the subject and said with a smile, "It's okay! Don't worry about them. We should just do what we have to do."
"How is the princess' condition now?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanzhao looked Fang Zhengyi up and down warily: "What do you want to do?"
"What else can I do? I was the one who cured the princess's illness. Can you let me know the result?"
Fang Zheng felt helpless. What the hell, you're staring at me so closely when I just ask you a question? A while ago you wanted to send your wife to me, but now you're not the one?
"Yes! The disease is cured! That old man Hu is indeed a quack! By the way, Miaohan said she wanted to thank you in person after she recovered. Don't pick a time, just go now, I'll go with you! Don't play tricks!"
“..............”
