Chapter Twenty-Seven: Li Yu's Invitation
The second floor of the academy is about to open, and Chang'an City is becoming more and more noisy, especially after the prince of Longqing enters Chang'an, it has become even more lively.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the invitation in his hand at this time and didn't know what he was thinking, today, Princess Li Yu sent someone to send an invitation and invited him to the Shengju Residence, saying that he was holding a banquet in the Shengju to see off Chongming, the prince of Yan Kingdom, and invited him to go.
Ye Zhiqiu knew her mind after a little thought, it was nothing more than knowing her identity, wanting to win herself over and increase her bargaining chips for her younger brother, this time she should have wanted to introduce the prince of Yanguo to him, after all, in her cognition, the prince of Yanguo was her person, but unfortunately she didn't know that the prince of Yanguo was a second or fifth boy, and he acted in a big drama with her younger brother Longqing.
This princess Li Yu is still very smart in other places, but she can't see clearly on the throne, is her straw bale brother the material for the emperor? Maybe it wasn't that she couldn't see clearly, it was just that hatred blindfolded her.
Thinking about it, he put away the invitation, and it doesn't hurt to go once, just participate in the plot, he remembers that this banquet Longqing seems to be coming too, just to see if it can trigger the side quest.
When it comes to side quests, he's a little annoyed, since the side quest was revised, he received a quest, and there was no other reaction at all, his points were almost bottoming out, if it weren't for the points of daily quests, he would have eaten dirt a long time ago.
So he's been recalling the important plots in the original book lately, and now at this time, except for the opening of the second floor the day after tomorrow, there is only this party left, so he still has to go.
evening
Ye Zhiqiu left some food for Sang Sang, and walked towards the victory house, as for Ning Que? It is estimated that he is still studying at the academy, and the students who come to the academy will also go to the victory residence, so don't worry about him.
In front of the victorious residence, as soon as Ye Zhiqiu appeared, he was taken to the secluded courtyard in the deepest part of the victorious residence by the subordinates ordered by Li Yu.
I saw that the princess Li Yu and a handsome man were waiting in front of the courtyards, and as soon as Ye Zhiqiu appeared, Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
That man was Chongming, the prince of Yan Kingdom, at this time, he was shocked when he saw Li Yu personally go down to greet Ye Zhiqiu, at the beginning he heard that the princess was going to invite an important person, saying that if this person helped, the probability of achieving a great cause would be greatly increased, but he didn't expect that this person would be able to let the princess come forward to greet him, and after thinking about it, he also greeted him respectfully.
"Haha, Mr. Ye, you're here, we've been waiting for you for a long time, come on, come on, please come inside." Li Yu said with a smile on his face, and personally guided Ye Zhiqiu to walk in the courtyard, Ye Zhiqiu had told her not to reveal her identity, and she did not call Ye Zhiqiu Mr. Twelve in front of Longqing.
In the courtyard, two long low tables are placed opposite each other, and there are two square chairs above, which are the chairs prepared by Princess Li Yu for herself and Ye Zhiqiu, it can not be said that Ye Zhiqiu is not given face, it is almost an equal seat, and even Chongming is only placed below.
After sitting down, Li Yu opened his mouth to introduce Chongming to Ye Zhiqiu, "Mr. Ye, let me give you a price, this is Chongming, the prince of Yan Kingdom, who is a proton in my Tang Kingdom, and he is also a confidant who has taken care of me since I was a child." ”
Chongming hurriedly stood up and said to Ye Zhiqiu, "In Xia Chongming, I have heard Mr. Ye's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really different from mortals." ”
Ye Zhiqiu also returned the salute casually, and after everyone greeted each other, Li Yu said the right thing.
"I wonder what Mr. Ye thinks of my brother Hunyuan?" Li Yu spoke slowly.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Li Yu, and said secretly, so he said lightly, "I don't know what the princess is asking?"
"I believe that with Mr. Ye's intelligence, he must understand what I mean." Li Yu looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked.
"Honestly?"
"Tell you the truth."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't answer immediately, but picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip gently, and said slowly: "That younger brother of yours, it's useless, he doesn't have that piece of material." ”
Li Yu said to Ye Zhiqiu with a dangerous look in his eyes when he heard this: "Why does Mr. think so, although Hunyuan is a little confused now, but I believe that with my teaching, he will definitely be able to change, and in the future, I will help him, and then Brother Chongming will also help us when he ascends the throne of Yan Kingdom, Hunyuan will definitely be able to do it." ”
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at Li Yu and said indifferently: "Do you believe what you said?" You're just unwilling, you know best what your brother is. ”
Li Yu looked at Ye Zhiqiu blankly, endured the unhappiness in his heart, and said firmly to Ye Zhiqiu, "No matter what, he is my younger brother, as long as I am here, I will definitely be able to help him ascend to that position, and I will never let that woman's son ascend to the emperor." ”
Ye Zhiqiu looked at this woman's firm eyes and sighed, "Why are you doing this?" ”
"Please sir help me." Li Yu stood up directly, walked to Ye Zhiqiu's side and bowed deeply.
Ye Zhiqiu's right hand was for a while, and then he manipulated the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to help Li Yu up, and said resolutely, "Let's not talk about whether your brother has that piece of material, I can't interfere in the affairs of the empire, you should know, princess, you still don't have to say more."
Seeing that he was so determined, Li Yu was very helpless, and smiled bitterly, but the princess was a princess after all, and after a while, her mood recovered, and she spoke again, "Since Mr. has made up his mind, Li Yu is not reluctant, I just hope that Mr. will not help that woman in the future." ”
Ye Zhiqiu heard it and said casually, "Don't worry, princess, I'm not interested in these and won't help anyone." ”
Li Yu was relieved when he heard this, and returned to his seat, although he did not get Ye Zhiqiu's help, but at least he was sure that the other party would not go against him, which was already a great luck.
"Mr. Ye, Brother Chongming, come, drink." After recovering, Li Yu stopped thinking about these things and raised a glass to invite them to drink.
Chongming also frequently toasted Ye Zhiqiu, and after a while, the three of them seemed to get along quite well.
At this time, the three of them heard a noise outside the courtyard, which disturbed the false harmonious atmosphere of the three of them.
Li Yu was a little moved, so he went to see what was going on outside.
After a while, the guard Hua Shanyue came in and reported, "The terrace by the lake of Deshengju has been covered by people today, and it is very noisy there, so the sound has reached this side. ”
Li Yu asked curiously, "Who is so generous that he directly took over the terrace by the lake." As he spoke, he seemed to forget that the biggest stroke was himself, and he covered the entire backyard.
"It's the students of the academy, Xie Chengyun, Ning Que and others are here." Hua Shanyue answered.
Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard Ning Que, "All the students of the academy are the future pillars of my Tang Kingdom, and it's good to introduce Brother Chongming today." ”
Chongming naturally would not refuse, and nodded in agreement.
"I don't know what Mr. Ye means?" Li Yu also asked Ye Zhiqiu.
"The princess can call the shots, and I just want to see these young talents." Ye Zhiqiu nodded with a smile.
Seeing that both of them agreed, Li Yu asked Hua Shanyue to invite the students of the academy.
After the students of the academy entered the mansion, Li Yu immediately found the familiar figure in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, but he didn't realize it too much, and after a smile, he put on a correct posture.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I've seen..."
Carried by the talented son Xie, Zhong Dajun, Wang Ying and other students took the lead in asking the princess sitting on the seat, but when they saw Ye Zhiqiu, who was sitting on an equal footing with the princess, he didn't know what to call for a while, so he stopped his voice
When they saw Ye Zhiqiu when he was in the academy examination room, they knew that Ye Zhiqiu had an ambiguous relationship with the royal family, but they didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to be there in this scene.
Li Yu saw everyone's embarrassment, and opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "This is my father's honored guest, Mr. Ye." ”
"I've seen Mr. Ye."
"I've seen Prince Chongming."
Hearing that the other party was King Tang's honored guest, everyone hurriedly packed their luggage.
Princess Li Yu looked at the young talents below, nodded with a smile, the temperament of the academy students still made her proud.
You smiled at Chongming and said, "Brother Chongming, what do you think of my young talent in the Tang Dynasty?" ”
