Although Li Xi's historical skills are really not very good, but because of the relationship between Yang Damei and Yang Yuhuan, he still knows the person of Shouwang Li Mao, after all, he may not be the only one whose wife was snatched away by his own father in this history, but he is definitely the most famous one. No way, who made his wife too famous.

It's just that later, with Li Xi worshipping under the door of Zhou Qiong, he learned many anecdotes about the government and the opposition and even many secret things from his mouth, and suddenly found out that the current King Shou is not called Li Mao, but Li Qing.

Even Li Heng, who Li Xi knew about who became the emperor after Tang Xuanzong died, is not such a prince at all. If it weren't for the teacher Zhou Qiong who swore that Concubine Wu Hui had a total of two sons, and the first one died at a young age, so now Shouwang Li Qing is her only son, then Li Xi would almost wonder if he was wearing another inexplicable Tang Dynasty.

Shouwang Li Qing, is the eighteenth son of Emperor Xuanzong today, he was born in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, because his mother Concubine Wu Hui gave birth to three children before and died in infancy, so after he was born, not only Concubine Wu Hui, even Emperor Xuanzong Yanjing attached great importance to him, afraid of the previous incident, did not dare to raise him easily, so he handed him over to his eldest brother King Ning and Princess Ning to raise him personally, until he was seven years old, this took him back to the palace.

Because Concubine Wu Hui has been the most favored by Emperor Xuanzong for more than ten years, and Li Qing himself is also handsome, and has a gentle and elegant demeanor, His Majesty loves him very much, and his favor for him is more than that of the princes, even more than the crown prince.

You know, as the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, the people love the eldest son, for the emperor, the eldest son is going to inherit his throne in the future, so he will generally have a lot of teachings on his ear and face, and he will have a lot of contact, so it is naturally easy to have the most feelings, but obviously this rule is not suitable for Emperor Xuanzong, because of the favor of Concubine Wu Hui, between the eldest son Li Hong and the eighteenth son Li Qing, he prefers the latter, and therefore, almost the entire Chang'an City knows the discord between the prince and King Shou.

In other words, after Li Fuer was deflated in front of Li Xi, he took Yan Qingwei to look all over the front yard of the Li Mansion, and later found out in the mouth of a confidant of the Li Mansion that Li Qing, the king of Shou, did not come, and it is said that he had just sent the governor of the palace Shi to send a congratulatory gift to return the invitation, and it is estimated that he will not come back in person today.

Hearing this news, Li Fu'er was naturally extremely annoyed, thinking about Li Xi's smug little girl-like expression when she spoke, but she was unwilling to be willing no matter what, so she simply ruthlessly pulled her little scholar Yan Qingwei and directly asked Zhike to help them find out the palace chief Shi Chen Qingzhi who came to congratulate him on behalf of King Shou.

It is said that this Shou Wangfu is used to being a place where Li Fuer runs to play when he is idle and bored, and this Chen Qingzhi's official residence is the long history of Shou Wangfu, which is also a high-ranking official from the fourth grade, and even one of the most important officials in the palace, which is naturally to walk in the palace, so he naturally recognizes Li Fuer. It's just that after finding him, Li Fuer didn't even give him a chance to meet and salute, pulled him and walked out, went out and sat on the frame, and went straight to Shouwang's mansion.

Shouwang Li Qing was studying, and when he saw Li Fu'er rushing over, and he was dragging Chen Qingzhi, the chief historian of his palace, he naturally wondered, so he asked his prince for guilt, stopped reading, and took her to his study next to him, and when the little maid came to serve tea, he asked: "Fu'er, what's wrong with you, you are in a hurry?" ”

Shouwang Li Qing is seventeen years old this year, with a father like Emperor Xuanzong, and a mother like Concubine Wu Hui, he was naturally born no worse, and he is young, he can't say that he is a handsome and free and easy young man, and he has a peaceful temperament, although he is a noble family, he treats people indifferently and politely, even in the court and the opposition, it is also quite good.

He is fourteen months older than Li Fuer, two years old, two brothers and sisters from the same mother, since childhood the best relationship, at this time seeing Li Fuer is not only anxious, but also seems to be full of anger, he is naturally a little curious, so he can't help but ask.

Li Fu'er pouted, "Brother, someone is bullying me, you have to vent for me!" ”

"Oh?" Li Qing frowned when he heard this, but he lost his smile, looked at Li Fu'er with a faint smile, and took a sip of the teacup lightly, and then shook his head slowly and said after putting down the teacup: "Just rely on my sister's ability, if you say that you have bullied others, I will believe it, and if someone bullies you, I will not believe it." ”

Li Fuer was angry when she heard this, and Yan Qingwei, the little scholar next to her, couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.

It happened that Li Qing looked up and saw her smiling, so he said: "Qingwei, last time I asked your brother to write a copybook to a few unreasonable snatches, I have to take it back to copy, I can't grab it back here, so I have to trouble you to go back and tell your brother, ask him to write a piece for this king, you know, his words are this king's favorite." ”

Yan Qingwei agreed after hearing the words, but said: "The servant obeys the order, but the servant does not often go out of the palace, even if she comes out of the palace, she has to follow our princess, so a moment and a half may not be able to pass, so, if your Royal Highness, if you are not in a hurry, it is fine, if you are in a hurry, there is no good way for the servant......"

Li Qing nodded when he heard this, "Well, that's right, you are the identity of the palace after all, and it is inconvenient to enter and exit, so in this case, I will send Chen Qingzhi to take care of him another day." ”

The two of them were talking here, but Li Fu'er was so angry that he couldn't help but glare at the two of them, and in the end, he couldn't help it, so he frowned and pouted angrily, and shouted angrily: "Brother! ”

Li Qing looked at her helplessly, "Okay, okay, tell me, who is so bold that he dares to bully our Princess Xianyi." Oh, no, it should be said that who is it, who has such great ability, and can actually bully our Princess Xianyi to run to this king for help......"

"Brother!" Li Fuer was extremely dissatisfied with her brother's ridicule, but now she was in a hurry to pull Li Qing to be a strong man and go back to take revenge, and these little things had to be ignored for the time being, and immediately told Li Qing how she was angry, how Li Xi was unreasonable, and how she reprimanded herself in front of so many people - in short, according to her words, Li Xi was simply heinous, and she was a pitiful and cute little angry bag - all told Li Qing one by one.

Hearing her say that, Yan Qingwei next to her didn't dare to raise her head, just lowered her head to look at her toes.

But Li Qing frowned when he heard this, although according to his understanding of his sister, it is estimated that there must be exaggerations in the center, but this person's faceless reprimand is still too much. And although he is always good to others, his sister has been wronged, but there is no reason for him to stand by as an elder brother.

So at that moment, when he heard Li Fu'er's grievances, he stood up directly and said with a serious face: "Since this is the case, then let's go, I want to see what kind of arrogance this person can become!" Uh, by the way, what's his name? ”

"Li Xi, everyone else calls him Mr. Ziyue, and it is estimated that the word is Ziyue."

"Li Xi?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Li Fu'er nodded when she heard this, and said, "Yes, it's called Li Xi." ”

"Uh...... Slow, is it the Li Xi who came from Shuzhou and is currently studying in Guozi Studies? ”

"That's right, it's him! This man is abominable! …… Brother, have you heard of him too? ”

Li Qing came back to his senses from his momentary shock when he heard this, and suddenly remembered the words that his mother had sent someone to pass on the night before.

What do you say that Li Xi has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and asked himself to treat him with the courtesy of a half-master - although Li Qing listened to this sentence respectfully at that time, he never took it to heart from beginning to end.

In his opinion, a young man who is only eighteen years old, who was only studying in the county school of Jinyuan County before, and the official is only a small county master from Jiupin, no matter how great his ability is, how big can he be?

Through heaven and earth? If you don't say the least, you have to be a prime minister-level figure to be qualified for praise, right? Applying this word to a young man who is only eighteen years old is simply a bit ridiculous in Li Qing's opinion.

Of course, he just held these thoughts in his heart, as a prince, he naturally knew his mother's expectations of him, so in his opinion, every time his mother lived in the harem, some things would inevitably be misheard and misbelieved, so he made some jokes like this, it was not a big deal, but he didn't have to take an eighteen-year-old young man as a teacher because of her words, and it was not his mother who made jokes, but himself.

However, although he didn't care much about his mother's reputation for Li Xi, he still remembered the name Li Xi in the end, and then he specially sent someone out to inquire about Li Xi's situation, so when Li Fu'er said it at this time, he immediately felt familiar, and when he asked, it was indeed true.

At that moment, he couldn't help but think to himself, now it's time to take the opportunity to see, what is this Li Xi's ability?

He would rather hope that what his mother said can have some truth, after all, whether it is for his mother or for himself, it is a very critical moment, and it is naturally a great joy at first sight to have a truly talented person to help.

Li Shizhi is now an official residence of the Imperial Doctor, he is a third product, he holds a family banquet, and he is qualified to sit in the inner hall, which is naturally not an ordinary identity. Either it is an important member of the court and the central government who is comparable to his age and prestige, or it is a praise official who came to congratulate him on behalf of various palaces, etc., in short, the identity must be enough.

And just when Li Shizhi was sitting on the main seat and accompanying the guests to gossip, he suddenly heard the guests outside singing a promise: "Guozi students, Li Xi, from the Jiupin Fenglilang, arrives!" ”

Hearing this, all the bigwigs sitting in the inner hall were stunned, and then they inevitably looked at each other, in fact, in the singing of the acquaintance, everyone could already hear a touch of embarrassment, after all, a Fenglilang from the ninth grade - don't get me wrong, this official is really not a big deal in Chang'an, to be honest, it is really rare.

Because for these people here, even if the children of the family come out to shade an official, at least, they have to look up at the seven and eight grades, and these nine grades of officials ...... To be honest, they can't get into the hall of elegance, so they wondered, how could this little official from Jiupin still be qualified to let the acquaintance at the door sing a promise?

Who knew that at this time, when he heard the singing outside the door, Li Shizhi stood up immediately, and then greeted the door with a smile, and said: "Brother Zi, why is it so late?" You'll have to drink later! ”

In the midst of laughing, he picked up Li Xi, and the two of them walked in with their arms, that Wang Shuyan and Yang Wei were both shorter, and their identities were not enough, so they had to find a place to sit outside.

Entering the door, Li Shizhi said in high spirits: "Come, come, come, brothers, let me introduce you to you, this person is my brother, Li Xi, the word said, is now from the nine products of Fenglilang, is studying in the Guozi School." ”

The people sitting in the inner hall are all officials all their lives, and when they saw Li Shizhi's solemn introduction of a young man as his brother, although he couldn't help but be stunned, he still stood up one by one and smiled and exchanged greetings.

Some of them knew that Li Shizhi and Li Xi were about brothers in the Chengxi Post House, but in their minds, it was just a game, but they didn't expect Li Shizhi to be so serious, and it was rare to attach importance to this Li Xi, so after the greetings at the moment, when they looked at Li Xi, they couldn't help but be cautious in their hearts.

When Li Xi finished greeting everyone, Li Shizhi personally set up a seat for him, so he sat down next to Su Jin. When Li Shizhi returned to his chairman to talk and laugh with everyone about some anecdotes about Li Xi, Su Jin saw that Li Xi had come in to talk and laugh with a large group of old men, and he was still acting freely, so he couldn't help but turn sideways and laugh quietly: "How is it?" In the past, I probably thought it was good to call Li Shizhi a brother, but now, how does it feel to sit with a group of old men? ”

In the face of such a smart person, Li Xi didn't have to be fake, and immediately replied in a serious whisper: "It's really a little awkward." ”

Su Jin laughed.

Knowing that even if he introduced it just now, it would inevitably be just a matter of watching the flowers, and at this time, with the help of others talking and laughing with each other, Su Jin patiently explained the characters present to Li Xi, and occasionally made a little comment, but he was very reassuring.

Time passed slowly, and the acquaintances outside the door would sing loudly from time to time, and then there would be big people coming into the inner hall, as usual, everyone got up to greet each other, Li Xi also followed, and then after sitting down, he continued to listen to Su Jin Shaojie, a new character, so that in such a time of waiting for the noon banquet, Li Xi heard a lot of stories about the court and China that he had not known before, so as he spoke, he solemnly thanked Su Jin, Su Jin waved his hand and didn't care, Li Xi said that he wanted to find a time to visit the house, Su Jin nodded calmly, and then the two discussed the appointment time.

At this time, everyone was talking and laughing with each other, but the acquaintance guarding outside the door hurriedly ran in and said to Li Shizhi: "Master, the eldest prince at the door came to inform him, saying that His Royal Highness King Shou was actually here, please be sure to greet him at the door in person." ”

Li Shizhi was taken aback when he heard this, just now the Shouwang Mansion sent a palace chief named Chen Qingzhi over, and he personally brought him in. He himself also knows that the reason why invitations were sent to various palaces is actually just to show respect for the princes in terms of etiquette, and he also knows that it is unlikely that the princes will come to the banquet in person.

However, Shi Chen Qingzhi, the head of King Shou's Mansion, has already come over, why did King Shou come in person afterwards?

At this time, when he turned his head to look, he suddenly found that Chen Qingzhi, the chief historian of the Shouwang Mansion, was actually gone.

While he was taken aback, there was no surprise on his face, but he looked a little cautious, but since King Shou had arrived at the door, he naturally had to hurry out to greet him. Therefore, he left the table in a hurry, and took a few acquaintances to the gate to greet him personally.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Yang Wei stepped in on the back foot, came in and took a look, and after seeing Li Xi, he didn't bother to say hello to the other adults, so he went straight to Li Xi.

When he arrived in front of him, facing Li Xi, who was puzzled, he was quite sneaky about the news, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ziyue, hey, it's all my fault!" That, or, you just shy away from it first? ”

"Uh...... Why is that? Li Xi was naturally stunned when he heard this, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, why is it inexplicable that you want me to avoid it?" After a pause, without waiting for Yang Wei to speak, he said again: "Oh, by the way, I said it all, Brother Su, you don't have to say Mr. Zi one by one, just call me Zi Yu if you call me a strange life." ”

Yang Wei nodded, anxious, "It's too late to explain this time, let me go back and tell you the ins and outs of today's day, for now, you just need to know that His Royal Highness King Shou is here, someone brought her here, is this intention, naturally it is running for you, looking for you to take revenge!" So, you'd better hide first, and then talk about it! ”

Then he swore and patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't let His Royal Highness King Shou run into it today, the matter of turning around will be wrapped up in my Yang Huan, whether you make your brother embarrassed, how about it?" ”

This time Li Xi heard this, but he was really a little stunned, following Yang Xun's words, he naturally thought of the incident that happened outside just now, and thought of the girl surnamed Li...... It seems that I inadvertently provoked someone I shouldn't have messed with?

Before coming to Chang'an, the teacher Zhou Qiong told him seriously: Zi said, you are a person with a great future, so you remember a sentence for the teacher, after arriving in Chang'an, anyone can be provoked, and anyone can be interacted, but there are only two kinds of people, you can neither socialize nor provoke.

The first is the princes.

The second type is a princess who is not married.
