After the first game, there was half an hour between the second game. After the members of the red team came down, Li Ce hurriedly gathered them, and then pointed out to them one by one the shortcomings just now, these actual combat experiences are extremely valuable experience, we must learn lessons from a game to the greatest extent, sum up experience, only in this way can we become stronger in the shortest possible time.

"Gongzi Li, Your Majesty asked you to come over." A little eunuch came over and preached.

Li Ce followed this little eunuch to see His Majesty, only to find that basically all the civil and military officials came, and some of them also brought their families, such as his teacher Chen Yaozuo, at this time his wife was reaching out to greet him, he secretly waved his hand to his wife in return, and Mrs. Chen was very happy to see him.

Chen Yaozuo pressed his wife's hand and said, "Madam, the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and all the adults are here, this kid is not formal, you are greeting him openly like this, that kid actually dares to stop and wave to you, so many people are watching!" ”

"Hmph, the older you get, the more timid you become!" Mrs. Chen complained, she also knew that she couldn't say hello to Li Ce anymore, but Li Ce deliberately replied to her just now, which made her extremely happy. Mrs. Chen has never had children, and Chen Yaozuo does not marry a concubine, she likes Li Ce very much when she sees her, and Li Ce is very good at coaxing people, Mrs. Chen seems to have regarded Li Ce as her own son.

As soon as Li Ce appeared, hundreds of civil and military officials discussed one after another, some people had seen him in the court, but some people had not.

"Xiyuan, this son is very talented, and he is your student, why do you let him mingle in these market jugglers, doesn't this ruin his future? He is young and ignorant, why don't you supervise you, a teacher? "It was Zhang Shixun who spoke, and Xiyuan was Chen Yaozuo's cousin.

Chen Yaozuo said slightly: "Deng Guogong doesn't know, my student has always been free and casual, he never cares about his background and future, when he was awarded for meritorious service, it was also like this, and I was helpless." There is another thing, he met His Majesty by mistake, and His Majesty also appreciates him very much, if I insist on leading him to the official career, I am afraid it will backfire, it is better to let him come by himself. ”

Zhang Shixun nodded slightly, looked at Li Ce and said: "This son is really extraordinary, and the old man can't guess this kid even if he has read countless people." ”

"Haha, Deng Guogong, we are all old, don't worry too much about the affairs of young people, they are free to go their own way."

"Xi Yuan is right, back then, Kou Zhun was talented and talented, he made a career as a teenager, and his career was even more prosperous, but in the end, he still couldn't fight Ding Wei, and he ended up depressed, young people have their own paths, and we don't have to intervene." Zhang Shixun smiled freely, he is almost seventy years old, plus he had a serious illness not long ago, and now many things have been downplayed.

"Weichen Li Ce, I have seen the Queen Mother, I have seen Your Majesty." Li Ce bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite, get up quickly." Zhao Zhen said with a smile.

"Queen Mother, the child's Keju team was able to win in one fell swoop this time, which is all due to Li Ce." Zhao Zhen turned his head sideways and said to the Queen Mother.

"Oh? Will you still keju? The Queen Mother asked, leaning back in her chair while a little maid rubbed her temples on both sides.

"I know a little bit about the skin." Li Ce didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the Queen Mother, so he said modestly.

"Then why didn't I see you playing? The old body didn't seem to see you just now. Empress Dowager Liu asked again.

"Forehead ......" Li Ce glanced at a young man in a python robe next to the Queen Mother, this young man seemed to have a luxurious temperament, and it seemed that he was not very good at dealing with Zhao Zhen. This person is accompanied by Zhao Zhen and Zhao Qin'er with Liu E, presumably it should be Zhao Ji, the king of Xiaoyuan, but why does he seem to be a little older...... He didn't want to let Xiao Yuan Wang know the details of his Keju team in advance, and now was not the time to fully expose his strength.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhao Ji after seeing him groaning, and immediately thought of the key to the matter, he secretly said that Li Ce was careful, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to solve the siege and said: "Queen Mother, I asked him to do something just now, so he came back late and didn't catch the start of the game." ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded, and asked as if she remembered something: "Didn't you go to Cao Wei's some time ago?" What position did he give you? ”

When Empress Dowager Liu asked this, Cao Wei heard it in the back, and the old face turned red and he couldn't sit still. Later, he heard about Yu Chi Junmai's petty tricks, and in all fairness, he still liked Li Ce, so he specially called Yu Chi Junmai to scold him, and ordered him to get Li Ce back. Later, Wei Chi Junmai did go to find Li Ce, but he couldn't find this kid at all, because Li Ce had been staying in the Nanyuan Keju team for the past few days, so the matter was delayed, and now the Queen Mother asked again, Cao Wei was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, Wechen has been busy with Keju these days, so this matter has been delayed, so let's wait for the Keju competition to end." Li Ce replied, he saw Cao Wei's threatening gaze, and said in his heart, you old guy, now you know that you are afraid, but he also knows that Yu Chi Junmai made a stumbling block for himself, Cao Wei probably doesn't know, and the old guy is a good person and has saved himself, this time he should repay the favor, no loss, haha.

Cao Wei saw his sly look, and knew that this kid had seen through his thoughts, damn, this kid is a ghost, he has to find a time to clean up, scare and scare him, otherwise he won't be able to control him in the future.

"Hmph, you actually ignore national affairs in order to juju, you are abolishing the public for personal reasons." King Xiao Yuan spoke.

Li Ce secretly said that this person is really King Xiaoyuan, and he is really not a good bird, and he has a dead face when he sees him.

"Zhao Ji, your hat is too buttoned, right? Aren't you also a keen Kemari yourself? Zhao Zhen asked rhetorically. Zhao Ji knew that Li Ce was his own person, and he scolded him in person, which was clearly aimed at himself.

Zhao Qin'er also looked at Zhao Ji angrily, this Zhao Ji always likes to stir up trouble, the emperor's brother has enough to tolerate him, but he always likes to contradict the emperor's brother, it's really annoying!

"Your Majesty, although I also play Keju, but I know that I can't delay the business because of this, my brother can't look down on this Keju in my heart, these are no different from street juggling, they are all junglers, and they climbed to a high position by virtue of this, and they are not allowed to sit on the table with dog meat, and they will be laughed at after all!" Zhao Ji sneered.

"Presumptuous!" Suddenly, there was an angry shout, and the Empress Dowager Liu's originally reclining body sat up suddenly, glaring at Zhao Ji with an angry face, because of the extreme anger, her whole body trembled a little.

Everyone was shocked, and looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment, they didn't know why the Queen Mother was so angry, the little maid who was massaging her was already so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her body was shaking, and the little maid thought that she was heavy and hurt the Queen Mother.

Zhao Qin'er was also taken aback, she hadn't seen her mother so atmospheric for a long time, she hurriedly motioned for the little maid to go down, and then walked behind Liu E by herself, stroking her back to calm her anger.

Zhao Ji was shocked, he looked at the Queen Mother with some trepidation, he didn't know why the Queen Mother blamed himself, and he was so angry, he often contradicted Zhao Zhen in the past, the Queen Mother has always ignored it, what's wrong today?

"Don't kneel yet!" The Queen Mother scolded angrily with a blushing face, she is not easy to get angry, but once she gets angry, it must be a thunderbolt.

Zhao Ji panicked, and hurriedly fell to his knees and didn't dare to speak.

Li Ce stood there embarrassed, and when he saw Zhao Zhen secretly giving him a look, he hurriedly bowed and retreated to the side.

"Queen Mother......" Zhao Qin'er called softly, but the Queen Mother didn't look at her.

"Humph! You're getting more and more presumptuous. Liu E didn't seem to be as angry as just now, but her face was still pale.

Zhao Ji looked flustered and said, "Queen Mother, my nephew doesn't know what happened?" ”

"Humph! Is street juggling dog meat not on the table? Do you know that I also used to sell art on the street before the founding of the country? If you are laughed at by juggling, why do you still want to laugh at Taizu? Liu E pointed at him and scolded angrily.

Zhao Ji was aggrieved in his heart, how could he dare to mirror Taizu, and the Queen Mother was too trivial, but he didn't quibble on his face, "Queen Mother, my nephew didn't think about it at all, Taizu is wise and martial, my nephew is very admirable, I just spoke inappropriately, and I hope that the Queen Mother will atone for her sins." ”

"Humph!" Empress Dowager Liu snorted coldly but didn't say anything, she didn't say to let Zhao Ji get up, Zhao Ji just knelt there all the time.

Zhao Zhen is also strange in his heart, Zhao Ji has always been more pleasing to the Queen Mother than himself, what is wrong today, the Queen Mother actually made him so embarrassed, although Zhao Ji was ugly, he was very happy, but he was puzzled, why is this, to say that the Queen Mother is to maintain the image of Taizu, this is a little unreliable......

Several old ministers were stunned, but they immediately thought of the crux of the problem, when Liu E was young, before entering the palace, at that time she was following her adoptive father everywhere to perform arts, street juggling and singing was commonplace, she had not recalled these things for a long time, and after becoming the queen, these memories were deliberately sealed, she herself did not want to mention it, and others did not dare to mention it, decades have passed, many people have forgotten about it, I didn't expect that today's Xiaoyuan Wang is not inferior, so it annoyed Liu E.
