"Young Master, it's done."
Not long after, the butler returned.
Li Ke nodded and continued to observe Wu Meiniang with a calm expression.
The little girl took three steps back and looked at her friends around her who took the candied haws from the uncle. She was happy, touched her nose, and giggled. She ignored the cold wind and kept stuffing the candied haws into her mouth.
As he ate, he didn't forget to extend his hand to the tanghulu uncle again.
The tanghulu uncle's tanghulu was rapidly decreasing.
The little girl couldn't help but step forward again.
In the end, there was only one skewer left. Uncle Tanghulu sent all the children away.
He plucked the last string and handed it to Little Mei Niang."Girl, there's only this last skewer left. It's for you. Uncle is going home, so I'll give it to you.”
Mei Niang stretched out her hand to catch it, but just as she was about to touch the stick of candied haws, her hand withdrew with a whoosh.
Shaking his head, he turned around and ran.
The peddler was anxious. He had not forgotten his honored guest's promise. As long as this little girl took the candied haws, he would reward her heavily.
"Little girl, don't run. This stick of candied haws is for you.”
The peddler ran after him.
"Is this girl from the Wu clan stupid? She doesn't even want to take advantage of me!”Cheng Chumo looked defeated and muttered.
When Mei Niang ran into the courtyard and slammed the door, he knew that he had lost this bet.
Sigh!
Li Ke sighed and got up, walking out of the market.
"Your Highness, you've already won. Why are you still sighing and unhappy?”Cheng Chumo caught up and scratched his head in confusion."Also, that girl is really silly and cute.”
Li Ke shook his head." Brother Chumo, you may think that this little girl is very silly, but I think she is very smart. She is so smart that it makes people afraid."”
There were some things that Li Ke was unwilling to say to others.
The weather had warmed up in the morning, so he came here to observe the little girl who was still unknown at that time.
He had witnessed how Wu Mei Niang resisted the temptation of Tanghulu.
She ran home empty-handed and ran to the vendor with clenched fists.
Then, he swallowed his saliva and ran away.
This repeated countless times throughout the morning.
The one coin in his hand was tightly clenched.
However, when faced with the hawker's candied haws, he could always control his desire to eat the candied haws.
For a seven or eight-year-old child, how much self-control did he need?
As expected of a tenacious heart that was honed through difficulties, it was not surprising that she could become the only empress in history.
"Brother Chumo, do you know why that girl never took the candied haws?”
"I don't know. Please enlighten me, Your Highness."
"Because she knew that once she tasted the delicious taste of the candied haws, she was worried that she would not be able to resist the temptation of that delicious taste in the future!”
Cheng Chumo obviously didn't understand. Wasn't it just a stick of candied haws?
The old Cheng family's family motto was to not take advantage of others!
Of course, he had never been able to satisfy High Duke Lu. For example, he had eaten a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat when he went back because he wanted to take advantage of the heater.
Li Ke understood very well.
His plan was very simple. He would use a stick of candied haws to break Wu Meiniang's tenacious heart.
As long as Wu Meiniang tasted the delicious candied haws and lost the self-discipline she had developed at a young age, he could quietly provide Wu Meiniang with more material enjoyment.
It allowed her to become more accustomed to accepting these things of enjoyment without sowing.
In the end, he disappeared into the crowd.
It was just like the credit card overdraft in his previous life, which destroyed the self-discipline of a generation and eventually became a crop of leeks that lived beyond their means.
It was obvious that material satisfaction alone would not work.
He had expected this outcome.
"Brother Chumo, you lost. Since you don't need to go to the military camp, I'll treat you to a drink.”Li Ke quickly suggested happily.
He had many ways to deal with Wu Mei Niang. It was all up to his mood. He would not let a small experiment affect his mood.
This matter was just a superficial experiment for him to study the human heart and change history.
'Perhaps it's not a bad idea to be the mastermind behind the scenes who plays with people's hearts and fate in the palm of his hand.'
A month ago, he decided to be a carefree rich second-generation heir.
Now, Li Ke felt that just being a carefree second-generation rich kid, life seemed a little monotonous and boring, not exciting enough.
He felt that it was an interesting game to change the fate of some people.
Thinking of this, Li Ke turned to look at Cheng Chumo.
The descendants of Chang 'an nobles were also good test subjects.
Cheng Chumo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Alright, Your Highness is treating, Chumo will not stand on ceremony.”Cheng Chumo wanted to drink back the money that Li Ke had cheated, so he forgot about the strange illusion just now.
……
"Wang De, where did that bastard go today?”Li Shi Min returned to Taiji Palace and asked with a dark face before he sat down.
Because Cheng Zhijie was honest this time during the morning court, Li Ke did not go to the right military guard today.
" Your Majesty, His Highness invited the young generation of Chang 'an's nobility to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant today. Except for the two young masters of General Li Jing's mansion who received the invitation and didn't go, all the other families went, including the two young masters of Zhangsun Mansion.”
"Hmph, this bastard finally did something. He knows the importance of building relationships.”
In Li Shi Min's eyes, this action seemed absurd, but it was not bad.
At the very least, he could get in touch with the important officials in the court through the younger generation of the noble families.
Although it was not as direct as directly befriending officials, the effect was more obvious.
Considering Li Ke's identity as a descendant of the previous dynasty, it seemed that this curved method was better.
Li Shi Min was quite satisfied.
At least, he wasn't going to a brothel to listen to lustful music, nor was he going to see a woman washing clothes.
Therefore, he didn't make a fuss about it.
In the Eastern Palace.
Li Chengqian frowned and muttered to himself,"Li Ke, what exactly do you want to do?"”
"Keep an eye on Li Ke and the others. I want to know everything they say.”
At the Wei Manor.
"A roundabout path?" Li Tai sneered. Li Ke's identity as a remnant of the previous dynasty is ultimately your greatest drawback.”
"Keep an eye on him!"
……
Li Ke would never have thought that his interest would actually alarm so many people.
Even if he knew, he might not take it to heart.
Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Li Ke saw that almost everyone had arrived. Zhangsun Chong and Zhangsun Huan stayed far away in a corner, and no one was willing to pay attention to them.
Especially Zhangsun Chong, whose head was still wrapped in a cloth. It was obvious that his injuries had not recovered yet.
The two brothers looked aggrieved.
The feeling of being isolated was definitely not good.
He thought about how he controlled the fate of the old fox Zhangsun and wanted to make a hole in the two brothers. In addition, he did not like to hold grudges.
After all, he was a magnanimous person.
Li Ke ended his conversation with Wei Shuyu and walked to the corner.
"Cousin brothers, why are you hiding in this corner? Come and drink with me.”Li Ke pulled the two brothers to the table in the middle.
Zhangsun Chong and his brother rolled their eyes.
Their Zhangsun Clan was rotten.
At least for the time being.
During this period of time, the two brothers had been isolated in Chang 'an. It was a terrible feeling.
He had come today with the goal of easing their relationship.
Li Ke brought the two of them to the center with a bitter look on their faces. He looked around and said loudly,"Brothers, this king's cousin did do some things that harmed everyone, but he didn't know. My uncle pushed all the sh * t onto cousin, this is very kind.”
"Of course this matter, this king is also a little unkind. Today this king gathered everyone here to apologize to everyone.”
"Brother Chumo, pour some wine!"
Cheng Chumo immediately stood up and filled six bowls with wine.
Li Ke picked up two bowls, one for himself and one for Zhangsun Chong.""Here, this king and cousin drank three bowls of wine in a row to apologize to everyone.”
Gulp!
After Li Ke finished speaking, he raised his head and drank.
"Your Highness, you're so forthright!"
"Just based on Your Highness's forthrightness, that little thing is nothing!”
……
When Zhangsun Chong saw this, he immediately felt that the clouds had been lifted and the turning point was today. He immediately raised his head and drank the big bowl of wine in his hand.
After that, Li Ke and the other man finished the six bowls of wine in front of everyone.
"Good job, Your Highness!"
"Zhangsun Chong, let's put that matter behind us today!”
"Come, let's toast three bowls to His Highness!”
……
They were all hot-blooded young men. After the atmosphere was set off, their blood surged.
Someone suggested, and everyone immediately agreed.
Li Ke and Zhangsun Chong ate three more bowls.
Sob…
Zhangsun Chong's face was flushed red. He was obviously drunk. After the matter was resolved, he was drunk and completely opened his heart. The grievances he had suffered these days were finally vented. He swayed and touched his tears as he said aggrievedly,"Brothers, I, Zhangsun Chong, have a tough life!”
Although Li Ke was more or less a little drunk, the alcohol content of this wine could not compare to his previous life.
He looked at Zhangsun Chong's aggrieved expression and couldn't help but think of the popular phrase 'Baby is so bitter' in his previous life.'
"Cousin, alright, everyone is watching. Don't cry, sit down, sit down.”Li Ke comforted.
"No, I want to finish. This time, I'm innocent! I, Zhangsun Chong, am the most wronged!"
"I'm yellow mud that fell into my pants and can't be washed clean.”
"If not for my father's support, how could I have been able to do this heating business? But…but other than that…all the sh * t is on me, Zhangsun Chong!”
Li Ke looked at him. Tsk, this cousin was venting his grievances and was about to let go of himself.
