The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 99 A eloquent tongue

Last time, when Shi Yu was about to pinch Li Yi's ear, the great scholar Li Yi fainted on the spot. I don't know whether this was a moral decline or a distortion of human nature. Anyway, Shi Yu punched and kicked Li Yi on the ground, which can be said to be inhumane! So what kind of story will happen next? Let's continue to read on.

Under Shi Yu's "I love you, I'll kill you" combo, Li Yi didn't move at all. Bai Ling and Zhao Hanfeng were dumbfounded, and the palace servants and imperial guards who were cleaning up the place were also dumbfounded.

Lord Li Yi, who had previously defeated the invincible opponent on the grassland with great dignity, was actually pinned to the ground and rubbed by his own wife, and he did not react at all.

Shiyu angrily said, "What are you looking at? Have you ever taught your man a lesson? Go do what you need to do!" Instantly, everyone turned around and pretended to be busy, and occasionally glanced at him secretly. Shiyu kicked him again and cursed, "Playing dead! I told you to play dead!"

Bailing couldn't bear it any longer and stopped Shiyu, saying, "Sister, stop hitting him. My husband might have fainted. You saw him vomit blood after being beaten by that monster. He must have internal injuries. If you keep hitting him like this, it will be bad."

Zhao Hanfeng also advised: "Yes, Sister Shiyu, there are so many people watching, it will also affect your image!"

Shi Yu glanced at Lady Zhao and snorted coldly, "Humph! That weirdo beat him so hard but he was fine. I can still hurt him with these few blows. Don't pretend to be nice people! This matter is not over yet!"

Bailing said hurriedly, "I know you're angry, but even if he's pretending to be dead, you can't vent your anger now. Why don't you wait until he can't pretend anymore, and then you can teach him a lesson in person? How about I help you vent your anger then?"

Shiyu looked at Bailing, exhaled a breath of foul air, and said coldly: "If you dare to pretend to be a good person when he wakes up, I will deal with you too!"

Bai Ling nodded, and Zhao Hanfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Shi Yu shouted to the imperial guards, "The excitement is over, there is nothing more to watch! Come quickly and help carry the man away!" Upon hearing this, several imperial guards carried a stretcher and carried Li Yi away...

Li Yi slept for a day and two nights, and when he woke up, he was back in his house in Shangjing City. When he opened his eyes, Shiyu was guarding the bed, Bailing and Zhao Hanfeng were sitting beside him with worried faces, Yuehua was eating fruit, and Ye'er was sewing clothes.

Li Yi asked softly: "How long have I slept?"

Shiyu quickly turned her head, and everyone gathered around. Shiyu wiped her eyes and said nothing. But Xiaoye said, "Brother is finally awake. You scared everyone. My sister-in-law even invited a monk to help you heal your wounds."

Li Yi looked at Shiyu and asked, "Is Jiyun here?"

Shiyu still didn't say anything, so Bailing said, "Well, Jiyun came to see you and said that your internal organs were injured. If it weren't for the protection of the Vajra Divine Art, I'm afraid your life would be in danger. My husband, you are really stupid. You were obviously injured, but why did you insist on holding on? You made us think that you were fine!"

Zhao Hanfeng brought a glass of water, helped Li Yi up and fed him. Yuehua handed over a peach and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat a peach first?"

Shiyu finally spoke: "Yuehua, you go and eat. He can only eat porridge now, and he needs time to recover." Xiaoreba said "oh" and sat back to continue eating.

Li Yi finished drinking the water, leaned on Han Feng, looked at the women in the room, and asked, "How long have I slept?"

Shiyu said unhappily, "One day and two nights! This time you've managed to avoid my anger!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Oh, that's not a bad thing, I slept well!"

Shiyu rolled her eyes, and Bailing smiled and said, "Master Jiyun said that he couldn't heal your injury, and he had to ask Master Zhengyuan to come. He said that he could both heal your injury and thank you for resolving the rumors."

Li Yi figured out the reason and said with a smile: "It seems that a lot of things happened during my sleep."

Zhao Hanfeng said, "After sleeping for so long, Li Lang must be hungry. Can I go find you something to eat?"

Li Yi turned his head to look at Lady Zhao and asked, "Why are you still calling me Li Lang? Shouldn't you call me husband like Shi Yu Bai Ling?"

Zhao Hanfeng curled his lips and said, "I dare not. Sister Shiyu said that this matter is not over yet. We have to wait until she makes three rules with you before we can settle it."

Li Yi looked at Shi Yu and said in a coquettish tone: "My dear, look at this matter..."

At this moment, a shout came from outside the door: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Shiyu hurriedly got up and went out. Xing'er came in at that moment. "Madam, there is an imperial decree. Oh! The master is awake! Let's go and receive the decree together?"

Shiyu glanced at Li Yi and turned to leave. After a while, she brought Tongqing into the bedroom, bowed to Li Yi and said with a smile, "Your servant greets Lord Li."

Li Yi extended his hand and saluted, saying with a smile: "Thank you, Eunuch Tongqing, for coming to announce the decree again. It's just that I do feel a little unwell..."

Tongqing quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Sir Li, His Majesty knows that you are injured, so he has allowed you to stay in bed and listen to the emperor's orders."

Li Yi bowed and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

Tongqing opened the imperial edict and read it. There was nothing special about it, just some rewards. The general content was that anyone who participated in the preparation of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, whether it was a palace maid, eunuch or worker who participated in the stage construction, would be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. Although it was not much, it was almost their salary for one or two years. Anyone who participated in the performance would be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, which was quite impressive.

Yuehua was released from slavery and officially became Li Yi's adopted sister. As for Li Yi, the arrangement was also good. The former Yuefu Ling returned to his hometown to take up a post. Li Yi was promoted to the fourth rank of Yuefu Ling of the Ministry of Rites, which was equivalent to the deputy director of the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture of the State Council. According to Li Yi's age, although it was not a powerful department, it was already a very high official position. In addition, he was rewarded with gold, silver, jade, silk and brocade.

Li Yi was not very interested in these things. In his opinion, it was enough to have enough money to spend. More money was useless because he enjoyed a materialistic life that no one else in this world had ever enjoyed. No matter how much money he had, he could not enjoy that kind of life, so he did not care about it.

Everyone kowtowed to express their gratitude and took the imperial edict. Li Yi gave Shiyu a look. When Shiyu was about to give Tongqing some money, Tongqing stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Lord Si Le, I haven't finished reading the edict. What I just read was the edict of His Majesty. Here is another edict from the Empress." After saying all that, he knelt down again to receive the edict. Li Yi still leaned on Zhao Hanfeng. After Tongqing finished reading out the Empress's edict, the room fell silent.

Why? Because the Queen's decree was very targeted! What did it say? Of course, the first was the reward. The Queen personally gave all kinds of jewelry, sachets, etc., anyway, they were all good things for women, but the last item was problematic. The Queen granted marriage! Oh, this is a big problem! The Queen gave Zhao Hanfeng to Li Yi, which helped Zhao Meiren get rid of her identity as a dancer, and it can also be said that she helped her.

But this operation is not so friendly to Shiyu and Bailing. They are both prostitutes. Although Bailing is not that kind of prostitute, Liumoxuan is still a prostitute in name. So in terms of status, they are both low-class and very humble. The queen gave Zhao Hanfeng to Li Yi as a concubine. This queen's marriage as a concubine has never happened before! So there is a story here!

After Tongqing read out the Queen's decree, he saw that no one had responded for a long time, so he asked, "Lord Li, do you want to accept the Queen's decree or not?"

Li Yi coughed and said, "Ye'er, accept the order for your brother!"

Ye'er said "oh" and took the imperial edict. Tongqing said with a smile, "I have to go back and report, so I won't stay any longer. Lord Li, take a good rest. I'll take my leave." The eunuchs who were traveling with them moved the rewards into the courtyard. Shiyu took Xing'er and Yue'er to put the things away. Li Yi looked at the Queen's edict and felt worried...

Tongqing returned to the palace and reported to the emperor and empress. The two were drinking tea when Tongqing came to report: "Your Majesty, I have come back to report the decree."

Tuoba Jun asked with a smile: "What was Li Yi's reaction?"

Tong Qing replied, "Lord Li didn't react much, but his wife seemed to react strongly."

Gongsun Feng smiled and said, "Oh? What was Wan Shiyu's reaction? Tell me about it!"

Tong Qing said, "Your Majesty, after your decree was read out, none of Lord Li's family reacted. It was only after I reminded them that Lord Li asked his adopted sister, Miss Ye'er, to accept the decree on his behalf."

Gongsun Feng smiled and said, "Good! Very good, this is exactly the effect I want!"

Tuoba Jun asked: "Feng'er, why do you have to do this?"

Gongsun Feng said with a smug look on her face: "Brother Jun, you don't know, when I was chatting with her before, she kept praising Li Yi in front of me. This is clearly showing off her man, hum! No matter how good Li Yi is, how can he compare to Brother Jun? Brother Jun is the emperor, and she is still showing off in front of me! She really doesn't know her own limits!"

Tuoba Jun shook his head and smiled: "Feng'er, you are the queen, why are you still arguing with her?"

Gongsun Feng smiled and said, "Because in my heart, Jun Ge, you are the best man in the world. Li Yi is nothing compared to you!"

Tuoba Jun shook Gongsun Feng's hand and said with a smile: "Alright, I will listen to you on everything this time, but you have to be sensible and don't embarrass me."

Gongsun Feng smiled and nodded, drinking tea, and couldn't help laughing. The reason why she was in a good mood was not only because she disgusted Shiyu, but mainly because the Queen Mother stopped Nangong Xue from entering the palace.

Gongsun Feng and Tuoba Jun have known each other since childhood, and can be said to be childhood sweethearts. They have a very good relationship. They were engaged when Tuoba Jun was still a prince. Later, when Tuoba Jun became the crown prince, she naturally became the crown princess.

It was precisely because of this relationship that the Gongsun clan would spare no effort to support Tuoba Jun's ascension to the throne, and they always took the lead in the process of suppressing the rebellion. After Gongsun Feng's elder brother, Gongsun Yi's legitimate son, died in battle, Tuoba Jun felt very guilty towards the Gongsun clan, so he protected them everywhere, rewarded them continuously, and doted on Gongsun Feng even more.

However, Gongsun Feng had never given birth to a child for Tuoba Jun, which the Queen Mother naturally disapproved of, so she forced Tuoba Jun to marry a concubine. Gongsun Feng also knew that it was not right to have no children, so she could only accept her fate. It was not until she learned that Nangong Xue was going to marry into the palace that Gongsun Feng felt the crisis.

Nangong Xue's beauty has been famous since she was a child, and behind her is the Nangong family, which holds military power. Her handsome brother has known Nangong Xue since he was a child, so she is not unfamiliar with her. If Nangong Xue really marries into the palace, it will be the biggest threat to her position as queen, so she has been trying to stop Nangong Xue from entering the palace. This time, the Queen Mother has solved the headache, so of course she is very happy.

On the second day after the birthday banquet, she accompanied the Queen Mother to the Vajra Temple, where she met her sister and "brother-in-law". The two sisters had not seen each other for a long time, and they chatted for a long time.

Empress Dowager Xiao certainly knew Gongsun Feng's little trick. Who was she? She just wanted to help. The Vajra Temple, which was recognized by the royal family, was also vindicated. Even the queen approved of Monk Jiyun's marriage to her sister, so what else could others say? Could it be that he wanted to die? So the rumors ended here.

Cut the scene back to Li Yi, who was lying on the bed looking worriedly at the Queen's decree. When he saw Shiyu coming in with a long face, he shrank his neck.

Before he could speak, Shi Yu stepped forward, snatched the imperial edict and threw it heavily to the ground, cursing: "Mr. Li! Tell me why Gongsun Feng did this. What is her purpose? She clearly wants to disgust me? Tell me!"

Li Yi thought for a while, and Shi Yu said, "Speak up! Are you dumb? Aren't you good at speaking? Aren't you good at analyzing the situation? Speak up! Why are you silent now?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Madam, please don't be angry. Let's study this together, okay? In my opinion, the Queen should not have any other intentions! She just simply granted a marriage. You see, it is reasonable for the royal family to grant a marriage, so how can it be a concubine. The decree clearly states that Han Feng is granted to me as a concubine, which shows that the Queen still respects you very much."
