Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 55

The person who said this, the chubby one, was none other than His Royal Highness Li Tai, King of Wei, who was very unpopular with the officials.Wei Chi stared at his expression, he was still as proud and noble from outside to inside as when they met for the first time. If he looked better, maybe he would be really gentle.

"Taylor!"

Before Wei Jia could respond, Empress Changsun reprimanded Li Tai first. Li Tai was very wronged, but he still shut up obediently. On the contrary, Wei Jia himself was fine, still smiling, and said cheerfully: "Your Highness is right. Oh, I really don’t have much knowledge, I don’t have any skills. I can’t write, I can’t learn martial arts. I didn’t learn much useful things. Except for my medical skills, I learned some things to eat, drink and have fun. When I was young, my family was poor, and when I was studying, I ran to support my family. I really didn’t expect it. I’m not afraid of His Highness’s jokes. In my family, there are five brothers and sisters, and four ministers. I didn’t even wear new clothes when I was young. Basically, a set of new clothes made When I come out, my eldest brother wears it first, and if it doesn’t fit, I pass it on to my younger siblings. When I came to the minister’s place, it was already very worn out, but I was still very happy. I was afraid of it when I was a child. After I came back, my life was better. I am more obsessed with eating, drinking and having fun. , The sense of small door and small household makes His Highness laugh."

Wei Zhi's self-deprecating words made many people present laugh, including the prince brother Li Chengqian, who laughed. Only His Majesty Li Er, Empress Changsun, Concubine Wei and several other seniors just smiled in agreement. .On the contrary, it was His Highness Li Tai who said in a serious manner: "We know etiquette only when we are in the warehouse, and the sage is right."

This was just a small episode, and it passed quickly. During the banquet, several highnesses currently in Beijing competed to perform, chatting about the world, discussing literature and martial arts. Where the prince behaved, he was an ordinary person, and he was arguing with others. His Majesty Li Er was not his father, so he didn't need to show it to him.

Eating and drinking with the royal nobles, the food is not very appetizing, is a very tormenting thing, Wei Zhi used the supernatural skills he has practiced in meetings for many years, on the surface he looks serious and focused, but his mind turns from taste to food. On the menu to eat when I go home tonight, I must make a meal that suits my taste.

After chatting and laughing to eliminate the food contributed by Wei Jia, His Majesty Li Er stood up, and the servant, Eunuch Huang, hurried over and said to Wei Jia in a low voice: "Master Wei, Your Majesty wants you to follow."

"Oh, thank you, father-in-law."

Wei Chi got up and went down with Majesty Li Er.His Majesty Li Er did not go back, but took Wei Jia to visit the imperial garden. It is the season of flowers, and the scenery in the garden is beautiful.Wei Chi raised his head and kept looking around. The imperial garden of the palace had a different scenery than the garden he went to for summer vacation last time.

"How is it? Wei Chi, how is my garden?"

"Very good, very big."

"No other comments?"

"...If all the onions, garlic and vegetables can be planted, the palace will be self-sufficient."

"...Wei Chi, you..."

His Majesty Li Er's expression looked like he wanted to kick Wei Chi's feet.Wei Chi continued to pretend to be stupid, and said: "Your Majesty, I have no knowledge, we are illiterate, we can't even write well, how can we appreciate garden art!"

"..."

His Majesty Li Er glared at Wei Chi, but instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Did I say something wrong? You really can't even write well. Tell me, is what I said true?"

Wei Chi wiped his face hard, and simply agreed: "Yes!"

"Haha..." Wei Chi's appearance made His Majesty Li Er amused, the dragon's heart was overjoyed.After laughing, His Majesty Li Er stared at Wei Jia, and said: "A few days ago, the queen and the others brought the children to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, and the little girl and her sisters went to catch butterflies to play, and there was an argument for some reason. Wake up, I went up to ask the reason, Sizi told me very seriously, it took a lot of hard work for the butterfly to grow from an ugly bug to such a beautiful butterfly, let's not bully it."

"... Cough, the little princess is really kind."

Wei Jia said solemnly, His Majesty Li Er's expression was half a smile, and he continued: "The pheasant slave asked the guards to dig up an ant nest in the garden yesterday. He said that not all ants are the same. The queen is ugly. Responsible for laying eggs and multiplying offspring, his brothers didn’t believe it, so he dug up the ant nest to prove it.

"I praised him a lot, the pheasant slave was very happy, and told me and my brothers a lot about insects, about flowers and plants. I was very curious about where he learned it from, Wei Chi, do you know?"

"Ahem..." Wei Chi almost choked on his own saliva, scratched his head, and said honestly: "Return to Your Majesty, it was the two Highnesses who went to the minister's mansion and told them when the minister took them to play. Since I was a child, my family was poor, I grew up in the fields, I am naughty, I haven't learned much, I just mess around, I know more."

"Messy things?! Including spiders weaving webs to represent sunny days, ants coming out of their holes in groups, and there will be heavy rain, etc?"

His Majesty Li Er's expression suddenly rose.Wei Chi was not afraid, but confused, and said: "Your Majesty, these are folk sayings. Generally, experienced farmers can judge the weather based on the performance of various insects and poultry in nature. This...many people you know?"

His Majesty Li Er's rare old face blushed, Wei Jia pretended not to see it, and accidentally forgot that His Majesty Li Er was born as a son of an aristocratic family, which was different from his being a poor and middle peasant who was a son of the people.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about Tai'er's mocking of you just now, my son is good at everything, but he has a noble temperament, a heavy literati air, and likes to associate with learned people, but young people There is nothing wrong with being more aggressive, and after more experience, these problems will naturally disappear." His Majesty Li Er was very proud of being a father when he talked.

Wei Chi smiled and said, "What your majesty said is that your highnesses are very extraordinary..."

"But I think you are even more extraordinary!"

Before Wei Chi could finish his nonsense, he was interrupted by His Majesty Li Er, who stared at him sharply, like a swift and brave leopard. Cold sweat dripped down Wei Chi's forehead, and he forced himself to be calm: "Your Majesty, I have won the prize, and the minister even used the words They don’t recognize everything, their writing is worse than a child’s, and I’m illiterate, so there’s nothing extraordinary about it, at most, it’s just that their knowledge is extraordinary, well, it’s rare in the world.”

"Ha ha……"

His Majesty Li Er raised his head and laughed, pointed at Wei Zhi and shook his head. After laughing, his face was full of meaning: "That's it, a young man who is about the same age as Cheng Qian, not proud, not impulsive, humble, cautious, and knowledgeable." Advance and retreat, know self-deprecating, unlike other young people, including my Chengqian, proud, conceited, full of drive, full of passion, eager to prove themselves. At the same age, those children are the same, You, Wei Jia, are different. You are confident, steady, and know the ways of the world. Compared with you, my children are just impulsive bulls. You, Wei Jia, are not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy !"
