Chapter 45 To the Mansion of the King of Qi
Li He saw that although Yu Xuan's face remained unchanged, there was a trace of fluctuation. Thinking that Qingqing is beautiful after all, it is difficult for anyone to turn a blind eye. Besides, Qingqing is no longer the same she used to be, and his Li family can't tolerate it. If the prince has a heart, and then matches the match, it may be possible. If it really happens, according to the relationship between the two of them, then their Li family will really stand tall. Then he got up and greeted everyone, raised his glass to King Qi again, and said with a smile: Lord Wang, when Xifeng can be prosperous today, he must rely on the talent of Wang Ye Bogu and today, Li admired it in his early years, but he has never had a chance. Today, the prince can personally come to congratulate Li on his birthday, and Li is grateful. Here, I would like to give you a glass!
Hearing this, Yu Xuan also got up and raised his glass and said with a smile: A character like Master Li is an elder, so he wants to come to celebrate your birthday in person. After speaking, he also drank all the wine.
After the two raised their glasses, they politely sat down with each other. Li He said again: Aoki, you have to learn from the prince, if one day you become a character like the prince. I don't have to worry about it, then the Li family's family business can be handed over to you.
Aoki got up, raised his glass and said: The child will live up to expectations. As he spoke, he drank all his wine. Seeing this, Li He smiled and nodded. Master Ren listened to it and said with a smile: With a qualification like Aoki, he will definitely live up to expectations in the future.
Yu Xuan also said: It is indeed as Master Ren said. If Aoki is willing, find an opportunity in the future, and then involve a few friends of the same age, and it is not better to study together.
When Li He heard this, he immediately smiled and said: This is very good. Then he said to Master Ren: I think my niece is not familiar with life here, and I can't find a few friends to play with. If the virtuous brother is relieved, let Aoki take it, and invite the prince to join him when he is free. I think that in the future, the family business will be passed on to Qingqing, and it is good to take this opportunity to communicate more with those people.
After listening to the words, Master Ren felt very good. Then he smiled and said: What my brother said is true. Saying that, he turned to Qingqing and said: If you have a chance in the future, you can go with Aoki and Wang Ye to have a look.
Qingqing listened and nodded. When Aoki saw this, he was overjoyed. And Yu Xuan is the same, he hasn't felt this way for a long time.
After dinner, Li He first sent King Qi to the sedan chair and left, and then said goodbye to Master Ren and the others.
Until the next morning, the king of Qi came to the Li Mansion to send a message: the king of Qi invited Li Qingmu to visit the mansion. It's not just playing, and there are yesterday's words. Li He asked Aoki to go and ask Qingqing to go with him. When Aoki heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he went to Ren's mansion.
As soon as Qingqing got up, a little girl came to report, saying that the young master of the Li family was here, and asked the young lady to come over. After getting dressed, he went to the front hall, where Aoki was waiting. saw Qingqing, explained the intention, and the invitation of the prince. Qingqing didn't want to go out, but she went to see those men she didn't know, so she said: He didn't invite me, so I won't go, you just go.
At this time, Master Ren was also there, and after hearing that, he said: Although King Qi has not made it clear, please go. But Aoki invited you. It's hard to soothe him. Besides, it's not good to be bored at home, you have to go for a walk. I think you'd better go and see, even if it's not the people, but the scenery there must be nothing to say.
Speaking of which, goodbye Aoki looked at her. Qingqing couldn't help it, so she sighed: Okay.
Two sedan chairs were parked in front of the mansion, both of which were four-person sedan chairs. After the two got into the sedan chair, they went to the Qi Palace. It didn't take long for them to arrive, and the two came out of the sedan chair. A small servant had already gone to report and informed the porter. The concierge was rumored early in the morning, saying that the young master of the Li family was coming, so he waited for it. Seeing that the two sedan chairs stopped, and a small servant rushed to pass the word, he knew in his heart. When he got the words, he saw that the two of them had gotten off the sedan chair, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Please come with me, two of you!" As he spoke, he bent down and invited the people in, and hurried forward, walking in a place next to him, only slightly faster than the others, in order to guide Aoki and the others.
Entering the gate of the palace, he was led through several corner gates, through several corridors, and to the backyard. Everywhere you walk is a brick red high wall, all of them are tall and majestic, and they are very magnificent. When I arrived in the backyard, I saw the wonderful scenery. After passing a spacious vermilion gate, first a hundred flowers along the way are competing for beauty, and in the middle of a narrow stone road only for people to walk, curved and long. After walking, I saw a large lotus pond in the distance, because it was almost winter, the lotus flowers had long been gone, but the root pipe stood upright. The sunlight shines down, the rippling water waves glow softly, and the diameter of the pipe also dances with the waves, passing it layer by layer, which is very beautiful. There is a pavilion on top of the lotus pond, in the middle of the water, and only one of the four places has a raft connected to the shore, and it is all here. Looking at it again, there are all willows standing on the shore, and there are occasionally a few pavilions and pavilions, all of which are mainly delicate and small, and rarely have the majestic spirit of the front door. And near the door here is a hundred flowers, and the flowers in autumn and winter are competing to bloom. Walk along this place, and you will find the bridge.
The porter saw the opportunity, and as soon as he arrived at the junction between the bridge and the shore, he turned around and said with a smile: Please go to the pavilion, the little one has sent someone to inform the prince, and he will arrive in a short time.
Aoki nodded, then turned back to Qingqing and said, "If you're afraid, I can pull you over."
Qingqing smiled: I'm not so expensive. As he spoke, he went up the bridge first. Although the bridge was made of a raft, it was in the palace after all, and it didn't look reliable, but it was very stable. I got on the bridge, but I didn't shake at all, and I walked about ten steps to the pavilion. Aoki didn't dare to follow closely for a while, for fear that if she went up and swayed, she would lose her center of gravity and fall into the water. Because of this thought, he waited for Qingqing to walk through before going up. When the porter saw this, he went back the way he came.
After waiting for a while, Fang saw a few people walking along the waterfront in the distance. The person who came was Yu Xuan, and a few more people were his friends, all of whom were officials in the court. Because above the court are the people who belong to him, they are like-minded with each other, and then several people are of the same age, so they have a little friendship between friends.
Several people talked and laughed and went to the gazebo. When Yu Xuan saw Aoki arrive, he smiled apologetically: I've been waiting for a long time. I just talked to a few friends about something, but I was delayed and late.
Aoki said with a smile: "The prince attaches great importance to state affairs, and it is only right that I wait here."
One of those people was the most frivolous, and since he entered the pavilion, he set his eyes on Qingqing. stood and waited for a while, only to listen to the two people talk nonsense, and no one introduced one or two, so he couldn't help but interject and came in: Okay, wait for a while, or give up for a long time. The most important thing now is to introduce each other to each other. Do you want a few of us to stand here and wait?
Yu Xuan listened to the words and said with a strange smile: Okay. You are the most important, how can you have time to put your truth.
He said it to him. Then Yuxuan said to Aoki: Let me introduce to you, this is the son of the head of the household, and his name is Lu Shui. As he spoke, he pointed to the person who had just spoken. Then he turned to another person and said: This is the four-rank civil official of the current dynasty, in charge of the prequel and post-history files. As he was talking, he saw the man nodding slightly at Aoki and saying hello. And Aoki returned the favor. In the end, Yu Xuan pointed to the tallest and most powerful man and said: He is the general of the third rank of the dynasty, although he is young, he has great achievements. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man face Aoki with a fist, and Aoki also hugged his fist and returned to him. The man's expression was stern and his eyes were sharp, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed in unison. This time, several people are already like friends.
