For Li Xu, this is indeed an extremely paradoxical scene.

One is the eldest son of the top nobleman in Chang'an, the nephew of today's son, and the other is an inconspicuous young man in Yuezhou City, a young man who is low to the dust, the two should have no intersection, but now these two people actually look like old friends.

In fact, Li Xu, as one of the core members of the prince's party, should have known about Lin Zhao's situation in Guozijian, but after Lin Jian returned to Beijing, he went to do other things for the East Palace.

After His Royal Highness was silent for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "How did my cousin meet Brother Lin?" It seems that they still have a good relationship. ”

Qi Xuan turned his head to look at Li Xu, bowed slightly and said: "Brother Starling doesn't know, I studied in Taixue with San Lang and lived in the same schoolhouse, and since then I have been quite speculative, so I have become friends, and it happened that my mother's birthday, so I invited San Lang to my house as a guest." ”

"I almost forgot, cousin, you are also studying in Taixue."

His Royal Highness was not annoyed when he heard this, and he still had a smile on his face.

"Just now I saw Brother Lin hesitating at the door, I thought he couldn't enter the eldest princess's mansion, so I took it upon myself to bring him in, and now it seems that I am still making myself amorous."

"What is Your Highness?"

Lin Zhao hurriedly spoke: "Brother Qi only invited me over, and he didn't give any invitation tokens, and he was worried about how to come in below, if it wasn't for the prince, I don't know how long I would have to wait at the door." ”

As soon as Lin Zhao finished saying this, Qi Xuan frowned slightly.

Li Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "In this way, I still did a good thing." ”

After speaking, he said to Qi Xuan: "Cousin, my younger brothers and sisters and I will go to congratulate my aunt on her birthday, and when we are done seeing my aunt, our brothers will talk to each other again." ”

Qi Xuan nodded immediately: "Starling is going to go by himself, and I will welcome guests here." ”

His Royal Highness the Prince nodded with a smile, and took his three younger brothers and sisters into the inner courtyard, and after he walked away, Qi Xuancai frowned slightly, and looked back at Lin Zhao: "San Lang, I obviously gave you my waist card, how can you tell your cousin that there is no token?" ”

Lin Sanlang whispered helplessly: "I was just at the door, and the prince suddenly called me at the door, saying that he wanted to bring me in, I didn't want to save his face, so I could only come in with him, and now if I say that I have a waist card, wouldn't I slap him in the face?" ”

"He is a student of my seventh uncle, and there will be many opportunities to meet in the future, so it is naturally not good to offend if he can not be offended."

Qi Xuan also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In this way, wouldn't the starling brother look down on San Lang?" ”

There is an invitation and there is no invitation, it is not the same thing at all, Lin Zhao has an invitation or a token, and he is naturally a guest of the Danyang Eldest Princess's Mansion, but without a token, Li Xu will feel that it is just Qi Xuan's casual invitation, and then Lin Zhao takes it seriously.

"It's out of the way."

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "I'm not tall myself, and it doesn't matter if I look down on others." ”

When Qi Xuan heard this, he was silent for a long time before he sighed: "The young people in Chang'an City are competing almost all the time, especially the young people of your age, San Lang, you can fight for a sentence or two, but San Lang, you don't seem to have the sharpness of a young man at all." ”

"If I had Brother Qi's family background, I would definitely be sharp and proud of Chang'an."

Lin Zhao smiled dumbly: "But I am not hard enough, my sharpness is useless, and if I really conflict with others, I will only break my head and bleed, and in the end, I will still suffer a loss." ”

Qi Xuan shook his head and didn't say anything more.

He stood at the door for another half an hour or so, and when there were no more guests at the door, the eldest prince of the princess's mansion beckoned to his subordinates, called the little prince of the princess's mansion, Qi Ping, to replace him, and introduced his brother Qi Ping to Lin Zhao.

Compared with Qi Xuan, who is a crepe of letters, his brother is quite strong, although he is wearing a brocade robe, he can faintly see the tendons and flesh of his body, and his skin is darker than Qi Xuan.

After introducing the two to each other, he turned to Lin Zhao and said, "Go, San Lang, I'll take you to congratulate your mother on her birthday." ”

Lin Zhao nodded yes, followed behind Qi Xuan, and went straight to the backyard of the princess's mansion, this is the right time, before noon, the eldest princess of Danyang has not gone out to meet guests, hearing that the eldest son is asking to see outside, this beautiful woman who is dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, after tidying up the golden hairpin on her head, slowly spoke: "Let him come in." ”

Soon, Qi Xuan walked in from outside, and after seeing his mother, he bowed his head respectfully and saluted, "I've seen my mother." ”

The eldest princess glanced at Qi Xuan and said softly, "Have all the guests arrived?" ”

"I haven't been here, but it's almost there, and now it's the second brother who welcomes me at the door."

"Where is it that half a minute?"

The eldest princess of Danyang is also about forty years old this year, from the royal family, very well maintained, fair skin, it looks like she is in her early thirties, she glanced at her son, and said softly: "Your prince brother has not arrived yet, he will come in a while, and seeing that you are not in the front yard, it is a little undignified." ”

Qi Xuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Originally, I wanted to stay until noon, but the child's friend waited for a long time, and it was not good to let him wait forever, so the child took matters into his own hands and asked him to come to congratulate his mother on her birthday." ”

"Your friend?"

The eldest princess raised her spirits, glanced at Lin Zhao behind Qi Xuan, and said with a smile: "My son has been a little withdrawn since he was a child, and he rarely has any friends around him, but now someone can be called a friend by you, it is also rare, I don't know which young man it is?" ”

"Back to my mother, I am my child's classmate in Taixue."

As he spoke, he turned around and gave Lin Zhao a look, and Lin Zhao stepped forward, saluted the eldest princess, and said respectfully: "Yuezhou Lin Zhao, I have seen the eldest princess, I wish the eldest princess a youthful and beautiful face forever." ”

Lin ...... Illustrious. ”

The eldest princess nodded and said with a smile: "My son has never heard of any friends since he was a child, you can meet my son, it can be regarded as fate, you raise your head and let me see what it looks like to be born." ”

Lin Zhao got up cautiously and glanced up at the eldest princess.

After seeing Lin Zhao's appearance, the original smiling face of the eldest princess of Danyang froze slightly for a moment, she frowned slightly, looked at it seriously, and then asked slowly, "Your name is Lin Zhao?" ”

"Student Lin Zhao."

"Yuezhou people?"

Lin Zhao was a little confused, so he could only reply stubbornly: "Yuezhou people, I grew up in Yuezhou since I was a child, and I only came to Chang'an City this month. ”

The eldest princess nodded slightly, and after pondering for a while, she said softly: "It's a handsome offspring, since she is my son's friend, she will get along well and help each other in the future." ”

"Obey the order."

As he spoke, Lin Zhao took out a wooden box from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said, "This is a congratulatory gift from the younger generation to the eldest princess." ”

The eldest princess of Danyang nodded, waved her hand and said to her subordinates: "Take it." ”

Soon, someone put the wooden box away, Qi Xuan and Lin Zhao said a few more auspicious words, and then exited the side hall together.

After Qi Xuan and Lin Zhao left, the thoughtful eldest princess of Danyang sat back in front of her bronze mirror, thoughtful.

"It's like being born with her..."
