None of the three princesses responded. Li Er smiled awkwardly and picked up his chopsticks.
He wanted to eat it too, but unfortunately, there was no share for him.
However…he wanted to save face, but he was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to eat it too.
Now, even though there was a dazzling array of delicacies in front of him, Li Er felt tasteless when he thought of the three princesses feasting.
When the four of them finished their fruit ice cream, they raised their heads one by one, looking like they still had not had enough.
"The delicacies made by Sir are fragrant and alluring. After drinking them, I feel that my mouth is filled with fragrance.”Princess Changle praised thoughtfully.
"Such a delicacy, even in the imperial kitchen, you can't drink it.”Princess Lan Ling smiled.
"Si Zi has eaten popsicles, fruit salad, and now this delicacy. Si Zi loves Sir's cooking very much.”Princess Jin Yang said with a red face.
Speaking of which, it was interesting. Princess Jin Yang had been freeloading at the Li residence many times in the name of recuperating. Now that she thought about it, even she felt embarrassed.
"Daddy, Yaya still wants to eat." Yaya raised her head and looked at Li Chen obediently.
"This item is called Fruit Ice Cream. It has a cold attribute and is best consumed in summer.”Li Chen patted the back of Yaya's head lovingly and smiled at everyone,"
"Drinking too much is harmful to the body. Considering the condition of the princesses 'bodies, today's reward will end here.”
Hearing this, everyone could only give up and make do with the delicacies at the banquet.
Li Chen and Li Er toasted each other. Halfway through the banquet, Li Er cleared his throat and asked,
"Lizhi, do you still remember the difficult question that stumped the Grand Tutor in the palace today?”
Hearing this, Princess Chang Le quivered and remembered the purpose of her trip.
When he arrived at the Li Residence, he first learned rouge painting and then ate delicious food. He actually threw his doubts to the back of his mind.
"Sir, Lizhi is confused. Can you explain a little?”Princess Chang Le asked quietly.
"Just say it." Li Chen smiled slightly. The doubts in Princess Chang Le's heart were probably not simple.
"I wonder what Mister thinks of the saying,'If you learn the Dao in the morning, you can die at night'?"”Princess Changle pondered and said,"
"The Grand Tutor told me that this saying means that the knowledge you learn when you are young is enough to benefit you for the rest of your life. At first, Lizhi thought that this was what it meant, but after reviewing it, she had a new understanding of it.”
"Princess, please share your new insight." Li Chen put down his chopsticks and asked slowly.
" Lizhi believes that 'Tao' refers to the truth of life, which is a meaning that is above life. Therefore, if you know the truth of life in the morning, then you will die at night, which is meaningful.”Princess Changle said sincerely,"
"How do you understand this, sir?”
Hearing this, Li Er also looked at Li Chen with interest. Not only was Princess Chang Le looking forward to Li Chen's answer, but so was he.
"This is from the Analects of Confucius.”Li Chen said without hesitation,"
"No one can break the mysteries of Dao. Confucius 'Dao is the Dao of a Sage. The truth seeker's 'Dao' was the truth of life; The 'Dao' of a scholar was knowledge and talent.”
"Lizhi understands. What you mean is that if Sage Kong obtained the Sage Dao, he would be willing to die. A man who seeks truth can live without regret if he has the most reasonable way. If a man who seeks knowledge obtains the way of knowledge, he can live without confusion.”Princess Chang Le asked with a sudden realization.
"Princess Chang Le is indeed intelligent." Li Chen praised.
Princess Chang Le was secretly delighted at first, but when she recalled Li Chen's words, it seemed to be full of deep meaning, causing people to reminisce endlessly.
After a while, Princess Chang Le came back to her senses and said seriously,""Mister Wen's words are better than ten years of reading.”
"Princess, you flatter me." Li Chen smiled humbly and said,""This is only my understanding of Sage Kong's words, but it might not be the same as what Sage Kong expressed.”
He was reminded of the reading comprehension in the future…After the college entrance examination, the original author of the article would often come out and complain about the so-called standard answers.
Of course, Li Er and Princess Chang Le could understand the meaning behind Li Chen's words. Putting aside whether there was a mistake in their understanding, Li Chen's understanding was much higher than those narrow understandings.
A moment later, Li Er suddenly asked,"May I ask what you want from your Dao?”
As soon as he said that, Princess Changle and Princess Lan Ling both turned to Li Chen. In their eyes, Li Chen was probably looking for the path of a saint with his cultivation level.
Hearing this, Li Chen's face couldn't help but twitch slightly. Was there a need to ask such a profound question? However, he couldn't answer it too cheekily, or else it wouldn't be cool.
Thus, under the gazes of the princesses, he smiled and said,""What I want…is Wudao."
His words were actually equivalent to not saying anything, but to everyone, it sounded like a powerful voice.
" No way, no way!" Li Er repeated Li Chen's words over and over again in his heart. He still wanted to pursue the path of the emperor, but he was still bound by it. He was afraid that he would not be able to break through it in this life.
However, Li Chen's pursuit of Daoless could be broken and comprehended.
"Mister's realm is much higher than mine.”After a long time, he sighed.
"Mister, the highest Dao is the Dao that can be sought.”Princess Chang Le also sighed emotionally from the bottom of her heart.
"Daddy, what are you talking about? What was Dao? Does Yaya have a 'Dao'?" At this moment. Yaya tugged at the corner of Li Chen's clothes and suddenly asked in confusion.
"Yaya, whatever you like will be Yaya's Dao.”Li Chen smiled and said gently.
"Yes, Yaya's Dao is Daddy.”Yaya nodded with a serious expression.
Hearing this, everyone could not help but laugh. The atmosphere in the banquet hall became extremely happy.
It's almost two o'clock again. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep. I might be late tomorrow. But leave your flower evaluation votes to me ~~)
