Li Yong must change from his imperial guard uniform into the eunuch garb, but doing it multiple tis in a day was really troubleso. He had a feeling he already mastered how to swap outfits quickly. After disguising into Libin, Li Yong decided to look for Yui i, when Ming Xians secret guard, who was staying in the Inner Palace, appeared and wordlessly pointed him to another direction.
So thats where the girl is today.
Li Yong slightly raised his hand towards the secret guard to express he understood, and he strode towards the place he pointed to. He saw Yui is figure after a while.
She was leaning against a tree as she gulped water from the bamboo tube. She appeared to be languid and seed despondent.
What happened, are you feeling unwell?
Li Yong called out to her.
In that case, it would be good if she asked for dicine from Doctor Chen, the clinic physician, since she seed to have a great relationship with him.
Yui i glanced at Li Yong, and then mumbled.
.Im hungry.
So she was feeling down because she was hungry.
Apparently, she missed the chance to get sothing to eat as a snack today.
Well, theres a box here full of snacks, though.
Can I have so!?
Yui is eyes were shining as she stared at the box Li Yong showed her.
Its a present I received, but I thought Id share it with you. Go ahead and eat.
Thank you so much for the food!
Ming Xian instructed him to explain it as such, since it was uncertain whether there were eavesdroppers around them. Yui i let it slide, and she looked around for a place they can sit safe from prying eyes, then she sat down on the stone steps under the eaves of a storage shed.
She was truly a very simple girl.
Wow, its go!! Lets might as well eat together, Libin!
Yui i beckoned to Li Yong. He contemplated his next move.
She invited , so it would be rude to turn her down. Besides, I was made to go on a round trip to and fro the Imperial Palace and Inner Palace, so I guess this much is fine.
Li Yong made excuses for himself, and sat down beside Yui i.
Hmmm, so delish! Ah, but it cant compare to i Nas freshly made go!
Yui i was grinning ear to ear while stuffing her cheeks with the cake as she expressed her impression.
Indeed, freshly made cakes were truly delicious.
If Ming Xian were to hear about it, he would surely be envious, since it was far beyond his ans.
That was why Li Yong could never reveal that he would sotis use food sampling as pretense to snitch food at the crown princes palace kitchen.
To emphasize once again, being a guard was a test of ones stamina, so if he didnt eat, he would ruin his health.
Following this line of thought, Li Yong suddenly rembered the incident that morning.
By the way, Yui i, do you know a good thod to help a person who has difficulty waking up in the mornings to rise more easily?
Please sleep early.
Yui i replied with an obvious answer to Li Yongs question.
Li Yong already knew that kind of answer without asking, so he was slightly miffed.
Ahh, another thing, even if the mind is tired, if the body is still full of energy, itll be difficult to sleep. I recomnd doing light exercises in the sun So , is His Highness weak in the morning?, Yui i added, and finally asked.
Its confidential.
Li Yong evaded the question, then he ruminated on Yui is answer.
Exercise, is it. Maybe I can make him blend in with the Imperial Guards to run for once.
Li Yong half-seriously thought.
After eating go, he parted ways with Yui i, and once again, he changed from his eunuch clothes into the uniform of the Imperial Guards, then he returned to Ming Xians office.
Welco back, Li Yong.
The morials in front of Ming Xian obviously increased. Probably, the emperors share was also passed on to him. It was a regular occurrence, but he couldnt help but feel it was worsening over ti.
Ming Xians desk work was too overloaded. Previously, he still had the ti to train with the sword and to move his body around, so surprisingly, Yui is advice might be right.
Besides, Ming Xian was serious, so he would still complete his work without complaint, but if one were to think about it carefully, the country would not collapse imdiately even if Ming Xian left behind so of his work.
Your Highness Ming Xian, we have nice weather outside. Would you like to leave your work for a while and take a stroll?
Its rare for you to say that, Li Yong.
Fundantally, Li Yong never interfered with his masters itinerary, so Ming Xian blinked.
Yeah, thats good.
Ming Xian broadly smiled. He ignored the ministers protests as they told him that it should not be done!!, and went on a stroll under the pretext of observing the imperial guards training.
Those guys should spend more effort in making His Majesty stay at his own office, instead.
The ministers were taking it lightly, since Ming Xian would readily stand-in for the emperor.
Their stroll was an abrupt change of schedule, but it brought unexpected change. When Ming Xian went back to do office work, he noticed that after observing the training, the pile of morials had lessened.
So, a lot of work which did not require His Highness Ming Xians perusal got mixed in.
Even if Ming Xian rejected those kinds of jobs, it would still take him a lot of ti to check all those morials. That useless ti would give pressure on Ming Xians day.
Yui is advice this ti was relatively great. Li Yong decided to use this strategy again.
Thanks to the decrease in his workload, Ming Xian had so free ti, so he dismissed all the ministers, asked about Yui is condition, and for the first ti in a while, he was able to relax in his office.
Really, that girl truly loves to eat.
Indeed.
Ming Xian narrowed his eyes as they conversed. It was as if he wanted Yui i to enjoy freedom in his stead, contrary to his shackled self.
Yui i and Ming Xian had a complicated relationship, but Li Yong thought it would be good if Ming Xians ways changed for the better.
They returned to the Inner Palace after work ended, and Ming Xian had his dinner at an earlier ti than usual, afterward, he slept soundly that night.
The next day, he woke up by himself.
Everything turned out as Yui i said, so Li Yong ca to know of her strength once again.
Maybe I could give her so manju as thanks.
It would be troubleso to change his clothes again, but despite this, Li Yong still thought it would be good to go and see her again.
