Chapter 24 Li Er's Family (Part 2)
The person who said this was the round and fat King Li Tai, the King of Wei who was very unwelcome to the ministers. Wei Chi stared at his expression and looked at him, as if he was the first time he met, he was arrogant and noble from the outside to the inside. If he looked better, he might be really gentle and kind.
"Tayer!"
Before Wei Chi could react, Empress Changsun scolded Li Tai first. Li Tai felt very wronged, but she still shut up. Instead, Wei Chi herself had nothing to do, and she still smiled and said happily: "Your Highness is right. I really have no knowledge and no ability. If I can't succeed in literature or martial arts, I don't learn much useful things. Apart from medical skills, I learned some food, drink and fun. When I was a child, my family was poor, so I went to the craft of supporting my family.
I really didn't expect that I was going to learn something. I wasn't afraid of your highness' jokes. In my family, there are five brothers and sisters, and four brothers. I didn't even wear new clothes when I was a child. Basically, if a new set of clothes is made, the elder brother will wear them first. If it is not suitable, it will be passed on to your younger brother to wear them. When I arrived here, it was already very worn, but I would still be very happy. I have been afraid since I was a child, and my life will be better after I came back. I am more persistent in eating, drinking and having fun. The consciousness of a small family made Your Highness laugh."
Wei Chi's sarcastic words made many people present laugh, including Prince Li Chengqian, all laughed. Only His Majesty Li Er, Empress Changsun, Concubine Wei and other elderly people only showed a smile of agreement. On the contrary, His Highness Li Tai said seriously: "Only when the granaries are full, the saints are right."
This was just a small episode, and it passed quickly. During the meal, several of His Highnesses in the capital were competing to show off, talking about everything and talking about literature and martial arts. Wei Chi had no intention of taking over the master. This was a royal banquet, and it was the place where all the princes showed him. He was a commoner and he was fighting with others. His Majesty Li Er was not his father, so he didn't need to show it to him.
It is a very tormenting thing to accompany the royal nobles to eat and drink. The food is not very suitable for the appetite. Wei Chi took out his magical skills that he had learned in meetings for many years. On the surface, he looked serious and focused, but his mind turned from taste to the menu to go home tonight. He must make a meal that suits the taste.
After talking about Xiaoxiao and destroying the food contributed by Wei Chi, His Majesty Li Er stood up, and the eunuch Xiao Huang hurried over and said to Wei Chi in a low voice: "Master Wei, Your Majesty asks you to follow us."
"Oh, thank you father-in-law."
Wei Chi stood up and followed His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er did not go back, but took Wei Chi to visit the Imperial Garden. Now it is the season of flowers, and the scenery in the garden is good. Wei Chi raised his head and kept looking around. The imperial garden in the palace is a different scenery than the garden where he went to summer last time.
"How? Wei Chi, how about my garden?"
“Very good, very big.”
"Is there any other comment?"
"…If you can plant all the onions, garlic, vegetables, and vegetables, the palace will be self-sufficient."
"…Wei Chi, you..."
His Majesty Li Er's expression was like kicking Wei Chi. Wei Chi continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "Your Majesty, I am not knowledgeable. I am illiterate and can't even write well. How can I understand how to appreciate garden art!"
“…”
His Majesty Li Er glared at Wei Chi, but was no longer angry and smiled and said, "Did I say it wrong? You really can't even write the words well. Are you saying, is it true?"
Wei Chi wiped his face hard and simply agreed: "Yes!"
"Haha..." Wei Chi's appearance made His Majesty Li Er laugh, and Long was very happy. After laughing, His Majesty Li Er stared at Wei Chi and said, "A few days ago, I and the Queen and the others brought their children to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. Little Yizi and her sisters went to catch butterflies and played. Somehow they argued. I went up to ask the reason. Yizi told me very seriously that it was very hard for the butterflies to grow from an ugly insect to such a beautiful butterfly. We should not bully it."
"…Well, the little princess is so kind."
Wei Chi said seriously, His Majesty Li Er's expression seemed to be a smile, and then said, "Zhi Nu asked the guard to dig an ant hole in the garden yesterday. He said that the ant is not all the same. The queen of the ant is ugly and is only responsible for laying eggs and reproduction. If his brothers don't believe it, he will dig an ant hole to prove it. I don't believe it either. I went forward and looked at it, as he said."
"I praised him. Zhinu was very happy and told me and my brothers a lot about insects, flowers and plants. I was very clear. I was very curious about where he learned it. Wei Chi, do you know?"
"Cough cough..." Wei Chi almost choked to death by his saliva, grabbed his head, and said honestly: "Your Majesty, it was the two high men who went to my house. When I took them to play, I told them that I have been poor since I was a child and grew up in the fields. I am naughty and have not learned anything. I just have messy things and know more."
"A messy thing?! Including spiders' webs representing sunny weather, ants are out of the hole in groups, heavy rain will occur, etc.?"
His Majesty Li Er's expression suddenly rose up. Wei Chi was not afraid, but confused, saying, "Your Majesty, these are common sayings circulating among the people. Generally, experienced farmers can judge the weather based on the performance of various insects and poultry in nature. This... many people know about it?"
His Majesty Li Er's rare old face turned red, and Wei Chi pretended not to see it. Why did he accidentally forget that His Majesty Li Er was born into a noble family? It was different from his poor and lower-middle peasant family.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about what Tai'er laughed at you just now. My son is good at everything, but he is a noble temperament and a strong literary atmosphere. He likes to interact with learned people. However, it is understandable for young people to be more energetic. Once they have more experience, these problems will naturally disappear." His Majesty Li Er was very proud of being a father during his conversation.
Wei Chi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is that the few of His Highnesses are very extraordinary..."
"But I think you are even more extraordinary!"
Before Wei Chi's empty words were finished, he was interrupted by His Majesty Li Er. He stared at him sharply, like a quick and brave leopard. Wei Chi's forehead was sweating down, and he was so calm: "Your Majesty has been too much, I haven't even recognized all the words, and I'm not as good as a child in writing. I am illiterate and have no extraordinary places. At most, I am not very knowledgeable. Well, there are few in the world."
"Ha ha……"
