Chapter 311: The Palace Night Banquet
After going back, when he saw Mu Changjin, Li Le said casually, "I went up the mountain with Mr. Xuetang and found that there were a lot of footprints, and Mr. Xuetang said that these were all left by the students who came to pay respect, but I didn't believe it." ”
Hearing Li Le's words, Mu Changjin couldn't help frowning, even if the students went to pay their respects, they would not pick at this time, there must be something wrong in the middle.
"What else did you find?" Mu Changjin asked, mentioning Mr. Xuetang, Mu Changjin remembered that there were many things in which Mr. Xuetang was figured, which was a little too suspicious.
"I didn't pay attention to the others, why, do you also think that this school master is not simple." Li Le saw Mu Changjin's concerns and asked out loud.
Mu Changjin nodded and responded, "Don't you think that there is a presence of Mr. Xuetang in many things before, no matter what kind of identity it is, it will always be mentioned more or less." ”
Listening to what Mu Changjin said, Li Le also thought about it, and became more and more suspicious, feeling that Mr. Xuetang must be not simple.
"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate this matter, and I'll tell you when the results are available." Mu Changjin pulled Li Le's sleeve and said softly, he didn't want Li Le to worry about too many things, these things that Mu Changjin could do, naturally he would not let Li Le worry about it anymore.
After deciding, Mu Changjin immediately instructed his subordinates: "Go and investigate Mr. Xuetang, if there is any situation, come back and report immediately." ”
"Okay." The subordinates should start to investigate, Mu Changjin thought about the rumors about Mr. Xuetang, and there was nothing suspicious, he could only say that Mr. Xuetang was hiding too deeply.
Soon arrived at the palace night banquet, Li Le naturally wanted to participate, and originally wanted to go over with Mu Changjin, so that even if someone was beating Li Le's idea, he would give a silent warning.
Li Linyuan felt that Li Le was still a girl who had not passed through the door, and what kind of physiology had become to stay with Mu Changjin all day long, and said to Li Le very seriously: "You are ready to prepare, go with me and your brother at night, you must not go to the little marquis of the Mu family again." ”
"Okay." Looking at Li Linyuan's face, Li Le had no choice but to agree, and this is the only way for now.
At night, Li Linyuan and Li Mufeng were waiting at the door, Li Le packed up and hurried out, looking at his sister's appearance, Li Mufeng teased: "You should dress up well, don't stay with that little marquis all day long, this is all hiding your appearance." ”
"Brother, how do you talk, we must be together, and I'm worried about what else to do." Li Le glared at Li Mufeng and said a little sweetly.
This brother and sister are bickering, Li Linyuan is commonplace, but once the matter about Mu Changjin is mentioned, the boss is not happy, the daughter who has worked so hard to raise is taken away by Mu Changjin, which is really annoying.
"Okay, if you don't go, you won't be able to catch the banquet." Li Linyuan frowned slightly and said, urging the two to hurry up.
Along the way, Li Le was arguing with Li Mufeng again, the carriage was so lively, Li Linyuan looked at a pair of children by his side, and felt a little emotional, but he also knew that such a time was rare.
The banquet in the palace, naturally there were a lot of people coming, singing and dancing, a prosperous scene, Li Le and Li Linyuan sat together, and Mu Changjin was a little farther away.
The banquet was lively, many people came, and the emperor was also in a good mood, and said loudly: "Don't mention the affairs of the government at the banquet, just have fun." ”
The ministers below thanked the emperor one after another, and many people felt relaxed, and they were finally able to show their true selves in this palace.
After a few glasses of wine, the emperor looked at the princes sitting on his left hand, and couldn't help but worry about their marriage, no matter how he was his own son, the marriage was all up to his parents.
Now the one who has won the emperor's heart belongs to the Nine Emperor Princes, after all, the current Crown Prince and Chu Jing are fighting each other, and the trouble is too ugly, and only the Nine Emperor Princes are honestly guarding their duties.
The Nine Emperors have no marriage match now, and the emperor looked at the courtiers sitting below, but he was very satisfied with Li Le, no matter who he was married to, he was a good match.
I saw the emperor jokingly say: "Now that the Nine Emperor Princes have also reached the age of marriage, I have taken a look, there are not many unmarried ladies in the boudoir, but I think that the girl of General Li's family is quite a good match for the Nine Emperor Princes, and I can take advantage of this banquet to give marriage to the two." ”
Although he knew that the emperor was joking, there was no certainty, but the Nine Emperors and Li Le were sweating at the same time, and the emperor's words were only in an instant, if the order was given, no one could disobey it.
The Nine Emperors have always regarded Li Le and Mu Changjin as a couple, but they have never had a superfluous idea of Li Le, and now when they heard the emperor say this, they quickly stood up and said: "Father, the son is still young, and he has not yet reached the age of marriage, so he will not bother his father." ”
Li Le also refused: "What the Nine Emperor Princes said is extremely true, the courtiers know that the emperor is kind, but the courtiers already have their hearts, and secretly made a vow that if Mu Changjin does not marry in this life, there is no need to trouble the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
Mu Changjin looked up at Li Le, his eyes were full of tenderness, saying such things at the banquet of so many ministers, it can be said that Li Le was full of courage.
Originally, the emperor was just joking, but he didn't expect the atmosphere to be so embarrassing, but he made himself a little unable to get off the stage, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "Okay, okay, I know that I'm worrying about it, so I won't care about you." ”
After talking about the marriage of the Nine Emperor Princes, the emperor looked at the abolished prince and urged: "You are married, the royal family is counting on you to hurry up and scatter the branches, and it is best to give birth to a little imperial grandson." ”
Concubine De also smiled and said, "Yes, you have to work harder, the mother concubine and your father are waiting." ”
These words made the waiter's daughter blush, pulled the sleeve of the waste prince, and hid behind the waste prince.
"The sons will not disappoint the high expectations of their father and mother." The waste prince replied stubbornly, hoping that the emperor would take this attention away from him as soon as possible.
After asking about the two sons, the emperor continued to look at Chu Jing and asked: "It's the sixth child, you are not too young, you are already at the age of marriage, do you plan to marry the imperial concubine, if you have a favorite woman, just tell me, I will give you a marriage." ”
Seeing that it was his turn, Chu Jing hurriedly got up and said with a serious face: "Father Lao is bothered, but Erchen has no intention of marrying the imperial concubine now, but Erchen is still concerned about Li Wu, the daughter of the criminal minister." ”
At such a happy banquet, Chu Jing went to mention Li Wu, the emperor frowned, and reprimanded sharply: "You dare to say that you dare to mention the daughter of a criminal minister in front of so many people." ”
Seeing this, Concubine De hurriedly pulled the emperor's sleeve, indicating that this was at the banquet, and it was all homely, so there was no need to be so angry.
"That's it, and I'll spare you once, and don't mention it again in the future." The emperor sighed and said, as a royal family, it is rare to be so emotional.
"Thank you, father, son, please leave the table for a while." Chu Jing saluted, and the emperor nodded, allowing Chu Jing to leave temporarily.
This pretended to be affectionate, and Chu Jing's plan was only half successful, and then when he left the table, he deliberately looked at Li Le with a hint of banter in his eyes.
And Li Le was really suspicious, feeling that Chu Jing must have something to do with Li Wu, and what he just said indirectly proved that Chu Jing knew about Li Wu's existence.
Thinking about it like this, Li Le felt that he needed to ask Chu Jing so that he could feel at ease, and said to Li Linyuan in a low voice: "Dad, I'm a little unwell, I'll leave first." ”
Li Linyuan frowned, the six princes had just left, and Li Le left the table with him, if someone saw this, he might have made up something to say.
Li Le covered his abdomen, looking very painful, Li Linyuan couldn't bear it, and said, "Okay, you go and come back quickly, you must report to me if there is anything." ”
"Okay." Li Le responded, left his seat under the cover of Li Linyuan, and ran outside.
Li Mufeng watched Li Le leave, and couldn't help but ask Li Linyuan, "Dad, what's wrong with her?" ”
"It's okay, I guess I'm going to see someone." Li Linyuan knew Li Le's thoughts, but he didn't say anything.
Chu Jing glanced at Li Le just now, and it was clear that he asked Li Le to go over to find him, Li Le knew that most of the people now were waiting at the banquet, and there were basically no people in this palace.
But according to Chu Jing's temperament, he will definitely choose a secret location, thinking of this, Li Le went to a bamboo forest in the palace, she has an intuition, Chu Jing will definitely wait for her here,
Sure enough, after arriving at the bamboo forest, Li Le saw a figure standing next to the boulder, as if he had been waiting here for a long time, no one would come to this place at all, and even if something happened, no one would know.
Li Le frowned, walked over, and said, "What, the six princes don't attend the banquet, is it here to pass the time?" ”
"Then Miss Li is not the same, why did she leave the banquet halfway and come to this place." Chu Jing said with a smile, looking at Li Le's gaze, there was a hint of appreciation, and the one who was able to find this place was definitely not an ordinary woman, she had a great strategy.
After saying these two words, Li Le didn't want to sell anything to Chu Jing anymore, and asked directly: "You mentioned Li Wu at the banquet earlier, let's talk about it, where is Li Wu?" ”
Li Le had always suspected that there must be other people behind Chu Jing before, and that person's methods must be familiar to him, otherwise how could there be so many rumors in the capital before, Li Le guessed that Li Wu was very likely to be with Chu Jing, but it was never confirmed.
