CHAPTER XIX
Ye Qian pulled her brother and walked through the main house, even opening the big closet for Ye Li to see.
Ye Li was quite moved, this King Yu looked like a prince on the surface, but he was so good to his sister that he really had nothing to say, he was thoughtful and meticulous everywhere, not only did he allocate such a large yard for his sister, but even the clothes and jewelry were all complete, the gadgets on the Duobao Pavilion, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the study were all carefully prepared.
Although there were only three people, the dinner was also a regular dinner, a large table of dishes, Ye Qian ate very happily, and King Yu and Ye Li also drank some wine.
After dinner, King Yu and Ye Li sent Ye Qian back to the courtyard, and after that, the two went to King Yu's study in the front yard.
"Has the prince ever thought about joining the office?" King Yu and Ye Li sat down face to face.
Ye Li hesitated a little, "I thought about it, it's just-"
"If the prince has any doubts, you might as well come and hear it, one person is short, two people are long, maybe we can discuss something."
Under the light, King Yu's gaze was very serious, for some reason, Ye Li believed him, and he had a faint feeling in his heart, King Yu was not as sloppy as he appeared. There is no father and son in the heavenly family, and the fighting in the royal family is particularly cruel, and this reputation may be just a means for him to protect himself.
Ye Li took a sip of tea and said slowly: "My father was a household servant back then, but I like to practice martial arts since I was a child, and I don't know where to start if I want to join the office. "My father was admitted to the imperial examination back then, and my second brother Ye Ji was also ready to do this, so Ye Ji was studying in the academy, but he didn't like those Four Books and Five Classics, and his homework was far less good than Ye Ji.
He is only fourteen years old, and he has already thought about entering the office, when he was fourteen years old in his previous life, he still eats, drinks and has fun all day long, this uncle is really a good seedling. King Yu was very emotional, and wanted to help him, "If you don't like to study, don't force yourself." I think you have two paths. First, you are the prince of Jiping, with your identity, you can enter Jinwuwei, which is the emperor's personal guard, specially responsible for protecting the emperor's safety, it is very beautiful, and you must be the descendants of the noble family to enter. Second, you can join the military. The West Camp on the outskirts of Beijing has strict management and hard training, but as long as you have real skills, you can get ahead in the future. ”
King Yu paused for a moment and refilled the tea for the two, "I still have a little way, whether you choose Jin Wuwei or Xidaying, I can help you get in." ”
Ye Li thought for a while, in fact, he had considered these two paths before, "I want to join the army more." ”
King Yu said: "You can directly enter the western camp and start from small soldiers, but it is more difficult, if there is no war, it is difficult for you to be promoted, if there is a war, the small soldiers are the most dangerous." ”
Ye Li nodded, "I'm not afraid of any of this." It's just that...... Qianqian is still young, and I can't leave home. Although he can't stay by her side all the time, if something happens, he can still arrive quickly, and if he enters the barracks, he can't help it.
"Qianqian, you don't have to worry, I will take care of her." King Yu smiled: "I won't hide it from you, I will install a few rough servants in the Hou Mansion to be responsible for protecting Qianqian, so Qianqian will not be in danger." ”
"You-" Ye Li was dumbfounded, this person had planted someone in someone else's house, and he said it so confidently in front of the owner. However, he was not angry at all, but there was a sour feeling in his heart, he was sometimes really worried that he would not take good care of himself, and his baby sister had an accident, like the water two days ago scared him enough. Now, with a strong King Yu and his sister so much, he feels more at ease.
King Yu didn't feel that he had done too much in the slightest, and continued: "However, there is a better way to enter the Western Camp now. I got the news that the martial arts will be held next year, and if you can win the ranking in the martial arts exam, the starting point for re-entering the military camp will be different. ”
"Really? Wuju will be held next year? Ye Li was a little excited, the people of the time were heavy, and the martial arts had not been held for many years.
"Eight times out of ten
Nine is to be opened. King Yu nodded, "I estimate that this martial arts will not only test the martial arts of riding and archery, but also the art of war and strategy, and even astronomy and geography may also be tested, can the prince be sure?" ”
Ye Li was a little ashamed, "I have learned the art of war and strategy, but I am not proficient in it. "A master with strong martial arts is easy to find, and the art of war can only be learned by himself, he reads some books, but there are very few books in this area.
King Yu immediately understood his predicament, and said with a smile: "I have a small study room in this house, which is dedicated to this kind of books, if the prince is interested, you can go and take a look." ”
Ye Li was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness!" He stood up, eager to go and see it now.
King Yu understood his mood and called Gonggong Kang to come over and take him over personally, "Although the prince of the book inside has read it, I have also skimmed a few books, if the prince has any questions, the two of us can also refer to them." ”
Ye Li followed Gonggong Kang to the door, suddenly stopped again, turned around and bowed to King Yu, and said solemnly: "Ye Li, thank Your Highness for your help." "Since his father disappeared when he was seven years old, his mother was seriously ill, he seemed to have lost his support all of a sudden, and he had a one-year-old sister who needed his care, and he had to force himself to mature because he could only rely on himself.
Now, King Yu stretched out his hand to him, he could feel King Yu's strength, and he could also feel his kindness and closeness, and it seemed that overnight, he had a relative he could rely on.
King Yu smiled, "Ah Li, don't stay up too late, go to bed early, there are a few good players in my guards, Ah Li can go to the martial arts arena tomorrow morning and have a fight with them." ”
Kang's father-in-law secretly had fun, and his master changed his words so quickly, which evoked "Ah Li". I have to say that as soon as the little princess and the little princess's brother came, the empty palace became popular, and the smile on the master's face increased, and he hoped that the two brothers and sisters would live for a few more days.
The next day, the three of them had breakfast together.
The breakfast was naturally very rich, but Ye Qian found that her brother's hands seemed to be a little inflexible, she was so distressed that she was about to cry, her brother must have punished himself too heavily last time, and when he hit the ruler three times, he was oozing blood.
Holding back her tears, she gave her brother chopsticks sauce duck breast, and did not put it in his bowl, but had to feed it directly to his mouth.
King Yu glanced at Ye Li very dissatisfied, Ye Li bit the sauce duck breast a little dazedly, and saw his sister tearfully looking at his hand, so he reacted and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness's guards are really extraordinary, and their skills are very good. He shook his hand, "My wrists are almost out of force." ”
It turns out that my brother is sparring with others, not the last time he beat the ruler. Ye Qian's tears were withdrawn, and she became a little worried, "Does my brother's wrist matter?" ”
King Yu gave Ye Qian a bowl of fish fillet porridge, "He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and injuries are commonplace, so Qianqian doesn't have to worry too much." Glancing at Ye Li again, "I have some medicinal oil there, and bruises are the most effective, so I'll send someone to bring it to you after eating." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Ye Lixing's eyes were full of smiles, "Don't worry, Qianqian, it's just a little damage." ”
My brother and King Yu both said it was okay. Ye Qian will not be entangled.
After eating, King Yu wanted to take Ye Qian around the palace to familiarize her with the environment, while Ye Li was worried about the books on the art of war in the small study, those books were extremely difficult to find, many of them were unique, and I didn't know how King Yu collected them. Last night, he couldn't wait to watch all night, but he was looking forward to learning martial arts with others in the morning, so he had to sleep reluctantly.
Therefore, King Yu took Ye Qian to visit the garden, and Ye Li couldn't wait to study.
"When did my brother love reading so much?" Ye Qian was very puzzled, her brother has always liked to practice martial arts, and he was very distressed to read the Four Books and Five Classics.
King Yu rubbed her round and soft little fingers, "That's because those books happen to be what he likes to read." "How good is this, there is no big brother who is in the way, he can play slowly and leisurely with his little princess.
