It was only after Li Rui became the companion of the eldest prince that he understood that it was impossible for children like them to live a life as they wanted.

Qiu Mu has a small heart, but he never dares to lose his temper with the eldest prince;

Qin Bin is impatient to study, as long as the bachelor who can teach says that the eldest prince is not effective, he will silently grit his teeth and do his homework a few more times until the bachelor is satisfied;

Xiong Ping is a child of the clan, and he always uses his identity and good popularity to make good friends with the companions of the other two princes;

And he also learned in the day-to-day court life when to judge the situation and when to take the lead.

This is really a very cruel thing, the palace is like an invisible sieve, so that all of them have learned to sift themselves up again, and learned in advance what the "way of being a minister" is.

Surrender is the first thing they learn.

Perhaps this is the reason why the former emperor and His Majesty have always admired "companion reading". Hoping to deepen the relationship between the monarch and the minister in the future may be one factor, but the sons and grandsons of the families who are the rulers of the Great Chu should let them brand themselves as "surrender" first, and the possibility of rebellion in the future will be much smaller.

Li Rui actually didn't think about it so much, in the long-term growth process, he was used to wronging himself and taking care of the overall situation.

He may never be able to be as unfettered as Chu Yingyuan, nor can he be like Qi Shao to smile and bear the constraints to find the future again, but this does not affect him to live the life he wants.

The life he wants is a happy life for all the people he cares about.

From what he had just experienced, he felt that taking a step back was not necessarily unbearable.

There are some things that don't have to be fought for to the death. If you win face and lose your mood, no one knows whether you win or not.

On the contrary, he gave in, got a smile from Liu Hongji, and said thank you, which seemed to gain more than face.

There are still very few people like Chu Yingyuan. Most of the children of the official eunuchs are still like him, like Liu Hongchuan, who considers the influence of the family in every move, and thinks too much about every move.

It's not that he's wrong, it's not that Chu Yingyuan is wrong, but this world is like this, and they all have to follow the overall situation.

So, the problem that had been bothering him for a long time suddenly ceased to be a problem.

Fourteen-year-old Li Rui was thinking about the questions of "where do I come from" and "where am I going" that adolescent teenagers think, while his younger brother Li Ming was amused by Sun Yanni's words, and he was so amused that he couldn't even laugh at his usual etiquette.

"Sister Sun, you're so funny." Li Ming wiped the tears that came out of his laughter, "What did your mother say later?" ”

"Not really. I'm only eight years old, why do I need to learn to give back? My hands were cut, and my mother didn't care if I was in pain, but laughed at me and asked me if I was dripping blood to confess my relatives......"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"I'm not a pig! If I were a pig, my father and my mother would be pigs! ”

"Ouch my stomach!" Li Ming really couldn't laugh anymore, and the pedestrians on the road looked at him like they were looking at him. "You should always tell jokes to my brother, he knows the murderer now."

"What the hell am I joking!" Sun Yanni really doesn't know what Lu Dao is for, everyone will laugh when they talk to her, and they are obviously complaining very seriously, okay!

"Alright, alright, not a joke, not a joke."

“…… Mannings! Mannings! Li Zhao, who was still laughing on the side, suddenly saw Wan Ning in a red dress in the crowd, and couldn't hide his excitement and stood on tiptoe and waved his arms.

"Here, here!"

Li Zhao shouted, which made the two children suddenly shake their senses.

"Hey, you're all here?"

"Wow, what a big stage!" Li Ming was taken aback by the stage in front of him, which was several feet high. The last Lantern Festival was less than half as tall as the "lantern stand" where Kong Ming lanterns were placed at the Lantern Festival.

Wan Ning and her family stood in the front row waiting for their cousin, and they didn't hear Li Zhao's voice, but the guards beside her heard a child calling their county lord behind them, so they reported to their own county lord.

She smiled and turned around to look back, and a pomegranate skirt suddenly flew up like a flower, and crashed straight into Li Zhao's heart.

She raised her hand and shook it towards Li Zhao as well.

The people by the lamp are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you? The lord of Wanning County told us to come over. Li Ming looked at his cousin standing there stupidly in confusion, and gently pushed ......

Li Zhao fell on his stomach.

"I didn't mean to ......"

"Oh my God!"

Li Zhao quickly climbed up with an expression of "Oh my God, she didn't see it", but found that Wan Ning's eyes had narrowed into a crooked crescent, and suddenly the color of his face was a little redder than the pillars of the stage.

Li Ming pushed Li Zhao, who was full of embarrassment, to the stage, and naturally there were Han people who greeted them under the stage and walked forward enthusiastically.

When he arrived next to Wan Ning, Wan Ning asked his subordinates to give the little guy a table and a few seats of tickets, even if he paid for Li Zhao, Li Ming and others, so that he didn't have to wait.

"Wanning County Lord Jin An." Sun Yanni has seen Wanning a few times, and she knows that she is a member of the royal family and does not dare to slack off.

At this moment, Li Zhao and Li Ming were stunned for a long time, not knowing whether Lu Dao should follow the salute, or treat them as acquaintances on weekdays.

Wan Ning picked up Yan Niang and said with a smile: "This is Yan Niang, the younger sister of the Sun family, right?" I remember you, laughing all day long, recognizing it at a glance. I'm not a few years older than you, so it's good if you call me Sister Wanning. ”

This is the meaning of being friends with peers and not sticking to identity.

"Xie Lu, Sister Xie Wanning." Sun Yanniang also doesn't like to go to people, but her mother is strict, she has been used to etiquette since she was a child.

Li Ming and Li Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, everyone sat down next to Wan Ning with laughter, a large table in the front row can seat four or five people, and there is a distance of two meters between each table, staggered placement, neither can hear what the person next door says, nor will it block the sight of the people behind, and the person who wants to place it still took a lot of thought.

Li Ming looked left and right, and asked curiously, "Lord Deyang didn't come?" ”

Why is Wanning the only one sitting here?

Wan Ning chuckled, "My aunt and my uncle are going out to play together." Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, they retire and go out to play by themselves. ”

Her uncle returned to Beijing after nine deaths, and her aunt was naturally reluctant to leave her husband for a moment.

"Your aunt and uncle have a really good relationship, and my father is also at home with my mother and doesn't go out." Li Ming nodded in understanding. Anyway, when adults are in love, children can't take care of them.

When he marries a daughter-in-law in the future, it will definitely not be like this!

Li Zhao on the side heard them talk about this, and immediately thought of his mother at home.

Mother at this time...... You should bring your subordinates to worship the moon, right?

Father...... I don't know where it will be.

Did my mother receive his letter? Has anyone accompanied her to eat rabbit dumplings this year?

Before he goes to school, he might as well go home and see his mother.

Wan Ning sensitively noticed that the mood of the "box" was not very good, and as soon as he saw the bright moon in the sky, he felt that Li Zhao was afraid that he remembered his parents in his hometown, and he became more and more concerned about him, and kept talking to him.

Li Zhao is still a teenager after all, and when he has a favorite girl to talk to, his mood will improve after a while.

As soon as the gong and drum sounded, everyone was looking forward to it, and all their attention was focused on the stage.

"Mannings!"

"Li Rui! Li Zhao! ”

The familiar shouts came from not far away, and Xiong Ping and Li Rui walked towards their families with smiles.

"The Great Emperor...... Eldest brother. Wan Ning was so frightened that he quickly stood up and saluted, and stopped talking to the box.

Li Zhao and Li Ming also stood up in a daze, and Li Zhao was even more stupid and shouted "big brother" with Wan Ning.

The eldest brother of the immortal lord, that is the emperor's master......

Hey, who is the emperor? Isn't the eldest brother of the fairy lord the son of the county lord?

Fortunately, Xiong Ping and the eldest prince thought that Li Zhao was shouting Li Rui, and they didn't care what he was shouting.

Only Li Rui glanced at this cousin with amusement. His eldest brother at home is only Li Jun, but he has always called him by his name. He called himself "Cousin Rui" and Li Ming "Brother Ming", but he had never heard of the eldest brother.

People said that he gave birth to a daughter with an elbow turn, and his cousin called the elbow to turn fast.

The eldest prince sat down at another table next to Wan Ning and nodded for Wan Ning to sit down.

"It's all a family, just watch the excitement, don't have to be restrained." For his relatives, Chu Chengxuan has always shown great leniency.

Wan Ning knew that he, the eldest emperor, had a wide personality and a strict personality, and although he sat down, he didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Li Zhao with him.

Xiong Ping looked at his cousin funny, and he didn't know why she was so afraid of the eldest prince. Obviously, the eldest prince treats her much more politely than he treats him.

"Cousin, there are a lot of people over there, do you want to divide some to our side?" Wanning kindly suggested. There are only a few seats at one table, except for the master, and there are guards standing behind them, which is inevitably eye-catching.

If you divide it into several tables, it will not be so conspicuous.

Li Zhao was stupid again.

Why did you come out with a cousin again? Then this is the son of the county lord of Deyang?

Who was that big brother just now?

I haven't heard that Wanning has a biological brother.

The people behind Chu Chengxuan discussed, the guards all stayed, the eunuch Zhan Shi and the people who served only a few remained, and the others were assigned to the seats near the left, anyway, the first row was full of tickets from his family, and he was not afraid of another thing like Liu Hongjian just now.

Chu Chengxuan thought that Xiong Ping and Li Rui would definitely want to be at the same table with their families, so he ordered them to go over and reunite with their families. Li Rui and Xiong Ping were indeed a little moved, and they did not hypocritically thank the eldest prince for his kindness and gathered at Wanning's table.

The gongs and drums struck the second pass, and when the third pass came, the show was about to begin.

The people around are crowding this side, and the high places on the side are full of people, and even the outer stage of the restaurant farther away is densely packed with people.

Qi Shao and Zhao Dan also got a few tickets in the front row, and their noses were crooked before they approached the stage. I regretted that I didn't bring a few family members with me, but wandered around the streets alone.

"A few more times, and my life is gone." Qi Shao straightened his clothes, and always felt that someone had taken the opportunity to steal a few handfuls of him just now.

"I'm convinced, it's the first time I know that there are so many people in the capital!" Zhao Dan was also squeezed enough, and he couldn't even get angry.

They went to the third row under the guidance of the little guy, and Qi Shao saw that it seemed to be Li Rui sitting in the first row, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Dan forward with great joy.

"Let's go, what can you see in the third row? I'll take you to a good place. ”

"The third row is already very good...... Where are you pulling me? ”

"Li Rui!"

"Brother Qi!"

"Brother Qi!"

"Oh, what a coincidence, I saw you also in the back, so I came over with Zhao Dan."

Qi Shao smiled and pulled Zhao Dan to sit down, and when he turned his head and saw that the next table was surrounded by everyone, it was His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and his eyes suddenly turned round.

"Why is that one out of the palace?" Qi Shao regretted sitting forward now, but he ran forward, and it was a little weak to go back.

"I'm going to come out with him." Li Rui looked at Qi Shao's expression of joy and then surprise with a funny look, "You better go and salute that one." ”

He is a housekeeper, and he has been driving with him on weekdays, so he is naturally familiar with the eldest prince. When His Majesty took the school homework, he was always by his side.

Qi Shao looked at Zhao Dan, who was inexplicably pulled, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hello, I went to the Hanlin Academy. I don't know anything, but I am happy. Qi Shao stood up and confessed to the children at the table, and Shi Shiran went to the table of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was naturally polite to the close ministers beside his father, and the two chatted for a while, also talking and laughing.

"Who's that? Why do you seem to be familiar with you? Li Zhao poked Li Ming's arm.

"That's the champion of Jinke! This big brother Zhao next to him is Tanhua! Li Ming admired the "champion" the most, and said with two eyes full of excitement, "This is the pride of Dachu scholars!" ”

"Oh oh oh, champion and tanhua!" Li Zhao also became excited with Li Ming.

His eldest brother is a second-class heir! These two look younger than his eldest brother!

This is the person who can overwhelm his eldest brother, so powerful!

Zhao Dan was restless by the fiery eyes of the two children, but Qi Shao pulled him to sit down, and the person disappeared again, so he could only pretend to look ahead calmly.

He is a flower, not a flower on his face!

Wanning's table was full, and most of them were teenagers, among which there were Wanning and Yanni, which naturally aroused the envy of countless girls.

After all, this table is either rich or expensive, and the young people who can sit in the front row are all princes and grandsons, and the young people at this table are not bad, and the two men who came later were even more graceful, which made the spring hearts of the girls who watched the excitement sprout a few times.

And in the middle, there are two girls sitting in the stars, how can they be eager to replace them?

When the third gong and drum sounded, an old man with yellow hair and blue eyes walked to the stage, and Hu music sounded all around, and there was a faint humming as if falling from the sky.

Seeing that the show had begun, Qi Shao hurriedly sued the eldest prince and went back to sit down next to Li Rui.

Zhao Dan kicked his friend under the table, accusing him of pulling him to the front row.

The tickets for the two of them were given by the Han boss who was a good friend of the Hu class, and the purpose was to let them be able to write a poem after listening to the song and dance, and continue to promote and publicize it under their name.

After all, this Hu Ban is going to stay in the capital for a long time in the future, and it is necessary to make good friends with literati and scholars.

The two of them are not fake Qing Gao people, and they don't look at the poems so seriously, they can get a ticket when they see a poem, and they don't rely on their families, they are also willing to be adults once.

The blue-eyed old man was talking loudly on it, and a few people just wanted to watch the performance, and didn't listen to the preface, so Li Rui whispered to Wan Ning, Sun Yanni, Li Zhao and others on the table and Qi Shao to introduce who it was.

He also just learned that Miss Sun did not come with Wan Ning, but was rescued by his younger brother.

Sun Yanni's uncle-in-law is his uncle Zhang Ning, who also saved his own family, Li Rui praised Li Ming a few words, and comforted this cousin a few words.

It's just that he didn't expect Sun Yanni to leave no shadow at all, but comforted him not to worry.

Should it be said that the children raised by the daughter of the door are always cool?

When Qi Shao heard that the girl in the red dress was the niece of the famous Lord of Deyang, his heart moved slightly, and he stretched out his head to greet her.

"Hello county lord, I want to ask you about something." Qi Shao pressed the wishing card that was placed close to his body in the placket, revealing his signature smile.

"Ask me? Is there anything else you would like to ask me for? Wan Ning blinked curiously and laughed, "If you have something, you might as well ask directly." You are a friend of the elder brother of the Li family, and you are a friend of my family. ”

"The county lord is refreshing." Qi Shao knew that the county lord of Daoyang had a wide range of contacts, and many ladies in the capital were in and out of the mansion of the county lord of Deyang, so he inquired about Wanning.

"I don't know if the county lord has heard of a girl surnamed Gu Mingqing?" Qi Shao looked at Wan Ning with expectant eyes.

"Surname Gu? Isn't it a person from the Gu family in Jiangnan? I haven't heard that anyone from the Gu family has come to Beijing......" The county lord of Wanning thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of a girl surnamed Gu Mingqing who had ever come to her house.

"Are you sure it's a girl? The mother of the Lu family's sister is also surnamed Gu, is she her descendant? ”

"Which sister of the Lu family?"

"It's the Lu family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Lord Lu's wife is the Jiangnan Gu family. ”

Qi Shao didn't inquire about anything, and thanked Wan Ning for his answer with some disappointment.

Zhao Dan naturally knew what Qi Shao was thinking, raised his eyebrows at him, and opened his mouth unexpectedly: "Are you still thinking about that river lamp?" Although the words are well written, the words are too ugly, I'm afraid I heard them somewhere. ”

But whoever is good at rhetoric, no character will be ugly like that.

But it looks a little stiff, and it doesn't seem to be holding a pen properly.

"You don't understand, maybe the girl did it on purpose, maybe the girl hurt her hand. In short, a beautiful woman who can write such a sentence will never be an ugly girl. ”

Qi Shao is still reminiscing about the "Water Tune Song Head", and feels that even he can't make such wonderful words.

"What's the use of knowing the name of the Dao. The Gu family was wiped out by the Hu people decades ago, and even if they left a legacy, they would not be in the capital. I'm afraid it's another Miss Gu family. Zhao Dan shook his head and persuaded his friend, "You should treat it as an adventure, forget it if you encounter it, don't take it to heart." ”

Qi Shao didn't listen to what Zhao Dan said, his eyes looked at Hu Ji who was dancing on the stage, but his mind had already drifted to the bank of the river, and he put it back into the water on the lamp.

The dancer who was spinning with a red flower in her mouth on the stage looked at the handsome boy who had been staring at her, and couldn't help but throw a few winks.

The Han son is generous, if he wins his favor, the reward will be more generous.

Thinking of this, she writhed even more enchantingly, causing a burst of applause from the audience.

When the song was over, the dancing girl made a beautiful turn, took off the red flower in her mouth, threw it with her hand, and went straight towards Qi Shao.

It's just that although Qi Shao was distracted, he always had a conditioned reflex to the oncoming things, and after a little retraction, his body deviated, so he avoided the gorgeous red flower......

fell straight on the face of Li Ming beside him.

Li Ming looked at Hu Xuanwu so well, and was suddenly smashed by something like a stick, and then felt that his face was wet, and when he saw what it was, he realized that it was the strange flower of the Western Regions that had been held in his mouth by the dancing girl.

His face darkened suddenly.

So, the wet liquid is......

I...... I......!!

It's disgusting!

"Brother Ming, what's wrong with your face?"

"Brother Ming, you have a red envelope on your face!"

Li Rui, who saw the change in Li Ming's face on the side, threw the red flower away with a serious face, and looked up at the dancing girl on the stage.

The dancing girl was frightened by Li Rui's eyes looking at the enemy, and hurriedly bent down to thank the guests and walked off the stage, not even caring about the various rewards that were thrown on the stage.

"You go backstage, get that dancing girl under control, and find out what the path is." Li Rui looked at the small bag that suddenly rose on his younger brother's face, and said to another general: "Pick up the flower and send it for inspection......"

"Master Li, there's no need. Young Master Li is not used to the pollen of this flower, and he has a rash. Wan Ning saw a lot of people with pollen allergies, and every time her uncle brought back some strange flowers, there were always some maids in the family who would have shortness of breath or a rash after that.

"Got a rash?"

"Yes, wipe your face with water, and go home and raise it for a few days."

Wan Ning felt that the eldest son of the Li family was really making too much fuss.

"What? How many days will it take? Li Ming was already disgusted by the saliva, and even the flower would make him break his appearance for a few days, and his mood was even worse.

Grandma is not right!

He's really out of luck!

The author has something to say: Recently, my neck has made it impossible for me to sell cute.

It seems that there are a lot of typos, but I don't have the energy to catch insects, so let's catch them when it's better.
