"Teach Princess Changle calligraphy?"
The civil and military officials did not expect the Emperor to give Li Yi such a " punishment ". They were instantly filled with envy.
If it was possible, how they wished that their disciples could receive such a "punishment".
Zhangsun Wuji, Duke of Zhao, had a sullen expression on his face as he felt bitter in his heart.
The Emperor's decision was unexpected.
One had to know that he had already decided to make Princess Chang Le his daughter-in-law.
If the Zhangsun Clan could become even closer to the Imperial Clan, then they would definitely be able to ensure the Zhangsun Clan's prosperity for the next hundred years.
However, Li Yi had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which made Zhangsun Wuji feel a faint sense of threat.
An experienced womanizer and an inexperienced young girl, how could these two people be placed together?
He wanted to step forward to stop the Emperor's 'punishment', but he was afraid that he would leave something to the officials.
After the court session, Zhangsun Wuji did not leave. Li Shimin seemed to know what his brother-in-law was thinking."Let's go. We haven't talked for a long time.”
The two of them followed the hall and entered the garden.
The eunuchs and guards followed from a distance, not daring to take a step forward.
"I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. In the end, Guan Yin and I still value Chong-er more.”"Guanyin Maid has always liked Chong-er," Li Shimin said sincerely."Let him come with us to Mount Tai for the sacrifice."”
Zhangsun Wuji only nodded silently and did not say anything.
Li Shimin knew that he must still be brooding over Li Yi's incident.
"Don't worry. When Li Yi teaches Changle Calligraphy, I'll let Little Si 'er learn from him. You know, this little girl has inherited all the merits of Guanyin. She's even smarter than Chang Le. We can rest assured if she follows us.”
Zhangsun Wuji listened to Li Shiming's words and felt much more relaxed.
His younger sister's youngest daughter, Xiao Si 'er, was a mischievous elf. With her around, it should be much better.
Taiji Palace, Feng Luan Hall.
Li Yi stood in front of the palace, smiling bitterly.
He thought that he would be fine after rejecting Princess Chang Le. Who knew that he would provoke this princess and teach her calligraphy for half a day every day?
"General Li, the Empress invites you." The old nanny was very amiable.
"Thank you." Li Yi tidied up his clothes and followed the old lady into the hall.
In the palace, Empress Zhangsun, Princess Changle, and a strange and beautiful little girl were waiting for his arrival.
Princess Perpetual Joy blushed when she saw Li Yi. She then pouted and turned her head to the side, as if she was still angry about what happened yesterday.
After Li Yi paid his respects, he stood to the side in a neither haughty nor humble manner, waiting for Empress Zhangsun's question.
"Li Yi, have a seat. There's no need to be so formal. Just treat it as your own home. The Emperor and your father are brothers who have experienced blood and fire. We've always treated you as our own nephew, so we don't have to be so polite in private.”Empress Zhangsun smiled gently.
Li Yi smiled calmly and did not say anything.
He knew that this was just a method used by the imperial family to rope him in. If he really took these polite words seriously and ignored the hierarchy, as time passed, a disaster would befall him.
"Li Yi, Li Zhi and Si 'Er will learn calligraphy from you in the future. I don't expect to show my divinity like you. His Majesty and I will be satisfied as long as we can learn a tenth of what you did.”Empress Zhangsun was still smiling and chatting.
Li Yi was shocked. He looked at the mischievous little girl. So this was Li Shimin's youngest daughter who died early in history.
Because of the girl's premature death, Li Shi Min had been depressed for several months and almost died of pain.
"Lizhi, Si 'er, come over and greet your teacher.”Empress Zhangsun said solemnly.
Hearing her mother's words, Princess Chang Le and the little princess looked embarrassed.
"Mother, this big brother isn't even a few years older than Si 'er." I'll just call him brother, not teacher, okay?”
Empress Zhangsun was just about to berate him when Li Yi immediately stopped her.""Empress, the little princess is right. I am only discussing with the two princesses, not teaching them. So, there's no need for the gift."
Empress Zhangsun's smile widened when she saw how reasonable Li Yi was.""Alright then. Then go study. The air in the garden is good and the scenery is beautiful. You can learn in the pavilion.”
"Alright." Li Yi nodded.
In the back garden of the palace, in the pavilion, brush, ink, paper, inkstone, everything was prepared.
Other than that, there were melon seeds, fresh fruits, pastries, minced meat, and desserts.
There were also four nimble maids serving him at the side.
Li Yi could not help but sigh when he saw all this. The Royal Family was indeed different. They were indeed much more generous than Duke Wei's Public House.
"Cough cough…Your Royal Princesses, let's begin.”
"No, this princess is hungry and needs to eat some snacks.”The mischievous little princess said willfully.
Unexpectedly, her small hands had yet to touch the fruit plates. The fruit plates flew away one after another and landed steadily on the rockery in the distance.
"Princess, during class time, unless there is an emergency, you are not allowed to do anything else.”Li Yi said bluntly.
"You…you, you threw away all of this princess 'snacks. You pay for it, you pay for it. I'm going to tell Imperial Father and let him punish you.”the little princess said in a spoiled and willful manner.
Li Yi laughed out loud." Little Si 'er, you're not that unruly and willful. You're just acting like this because you want to avenge your sister."”
When the little princess heard this, her expression finally changed."How…how did you know?"
"Because I can predict things like a god.”Li Yi laughed heartily.
Princess Chang Le and Si 'er both rolled their eyes at him. How could they believe his nonsense?
After Li Yi exposed the mischievous little girl's scheme, she became much more well-behaved.
Meanwhile, Li Yi had officially started lecturing the two of them about calligraphy. Many of his knowledge and theories came from the Calligraphy Saint, Wang Xizhi. However, after he explained these boring theories, the two princesses were fascinated.
In fact, Princess Chang Le's calligraphy was already very good, even better than some scholars.
In the past, her calligraphy teachers had all been famous masters of the Great Tang.
However, after listening to Li Yi's lecture today, many of the things that she had been in a daze about were gradually becoming clearer.
"Yes, that's it."
Li Yi stood beside Princess Perpetual Joy and looked at her beautiful handwriting. He could not help but sigh at the intelligence of this beautiful girl.
In just an hour, she had mastered what she had taught.
Moreover, when his eyes fell on her beautiful face, he did not know why, but the depths of his heart trembled, as if someone had plucked a string.
