Aquarius Lane, Xunyang Hou Mansion.

Jiang Wang silently looked at the invitation card in his hand.

Tan Jinghao also had one in her hand, she covered her lips and coughed twice, and said softly: "The prince only invited people from the younger generation, because my uncle had no children under his knees, and he learned of my existence, so he sent me an invitation, and my uncle did not refuse, but agreed to let me go."

Hammer Girl sat next to her, huffing and puffing, "Why didn't you invite me?"

Xiao Shinian comforted: "I was not invited either."

The Hammer Girl was even more angry, stood up abruptly and said, "I've heard, You Xuanzhi is among the people who were invited, although he is the first in the palace test, we are also the second and third, this is clearly a difference!"

Xiao Shinian didn't think there was anything, because Li Shenyuan was also invited, which was enough.

What's more, if it weren't for the book, he wouldn't like to enter the palace to join in the excitement, and now he is happy to be idle.

Jiang Wang handed the invitation to Xiao Yu and said, "There are literati, monks, martial artists, and most of them are young people, so it won't be as simple as eating and drinking."

"Chen Fudi has been to Wuti City, and Brother Xiao no longer has the means to hide that formation, he should be able to guess the relationship between you and Wuti City, but compared to you, he obviously attaches more importance to Li Shenyuan." Look at the book

Xiao Shinian said, "Although nothing may happen, I still want you to protect the kite when the time comes."

Jiang Wang nodded, glanced at the puffed Hammer girl, and said, "It may not be a good thing to participate in this birthday banquet, so you and Brother Xiao will wait for Aquarius Lane and wait for us to come back."

Xiao Shinian also comforted again: "Xuansu was also not invited, You Xuanzhi is not only the first in the palace examination, but also the chief true heir of Huanjian Zhai after all, and you and him participate in the Panmen Two Dynasties Meeting, which can be regarded as fighting side by side, there is no need to be so malicious to him."

The hammer girl cut a snort and said, "Don't think of my son so stingy, it's just a little resentful, what kind of birthday banquet, my son is not interested in it at all."

Tan Jinghao didn't know much about the hammer girl, and was very surprised when she heard this: "Why does the girl call herself this son?"

The hammer girl explained two sentences perfunctorily, and she didn't care if Tan Jing understood it or not, she dragged Xiao Shinian and said, "Let's go out and investigate and see what tricks the prince's birthday banquet wants to do."

The two left, Jiang Wang sat cross-legged by the pond, condensing divinity, Xiaoyu practiced boxing in the open space in front of the courtyard, talked about quietness and had nothing to do, and stroked the piano to cheer up, Sister A lay down on the rattan chair and hummed a little song comfortably.

Nothing happened for a day, until the evening, when the Hammer Girl and Xiao Shinian returned to the Xunyang Hou Mansion with the news from the inquiry.

At the same time, the eldest princess was in the mansion.

The nine girls were in front and Shu Ni was behind, crossing the corridor and coming to the eldest princess's house.

I saw that in the half-open room, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, wearing a snow-white dress and covered with green silk, was leaning on the windowsill and reading with low eyes.

Shu Ni subconsciously wanted to raise her feet and enter the house, but she was glared at by the ninth girl, and she immediately silently retracted her feet.

Although relying on the eldest princess to be rampant in the gods, but in the eldest princess's mansion, even if the ninth girl just raised her arm, Shu Ni was so frightened that she covered her face.

Even compared to Her Royal Highness the gentle and amiable eldest princess, the ninth girl is definitely the one Shu Ni is most afraid of.

After stopping Shu Ni with her eyes, the ninth girl first knocked lightly on the door, and after getting the signal from the eldest princess, she entered the house, lowered her eyebrows and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent an invitation, I want to invite the princess to enter the palace for a banquet tomorrow, thinking that it is the prince's birthday after all, so I didn't directly refuse."

The eldest princess flipped a page of the book and said lightly, "Tell him that I'm not free, but the gift will arrive."

The ninth girl said yes, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also invited Shu Ni."

When the eldest princess heard this, she glanced at Shu Ni and said, "If you want to go, you can go, and if you don't want to go, you will refuse to go."

Shu Ni first glanced at the Nine Girls, and then whispered, "I want to join in the fun."

The eldest princess snorted.

The ninth girl exited the house and glanced at Shu Ni, who was still moving, and the latter hurriedly said, "Princess, read well, let's go first!"

The eldest princess did not respond, under the bright yellow candlelight, the figure was reflected in front of the window, even if it was just a shadow, it was quite graceful, and the side face was even more beautiful.

......

Shendu Yuyuan Academy.

Even at night, in a few places, the sound of reading aloud is still there.

Lu Jiuke leaned against the courtyard wall with the book in his hand, and with the faint sound of reading, it seemed to drag him into it.

But the regular sacrificial wine in front of the lake sneered at this, and he looked back at the emperor and Li Shenyuan who were talking in the bamboo house.

There were invitations on the table.

The emperor frowned slightly, and said: "In the past, the prince's birthday, although His Majesty was not present every time, but he never had the intention of letting the prince handle it himself.

Being able to enter the palace is a good opportunity in Li Shenyuan's opinion, and the reason why the prince will invite her can also be guessed, as for the deeper issues here, Li Shenyuan doesn't care, so she just keeps silent.

The emperor muttered, so he didn't continue the topic, asked some things about cultivation, and gave some advice, and let Li Shenyuan leave with the invitation.

Immediately, the sacrificial sake entered the bamboo house.

"Li Shenyuan has comprehended the fact that even if it is an indisputable fact, the teacher is not curious, how did she comprehend?"

The emperor said indifferently: "You still remember Liu Pian, who has never forged the Yellow Court but has a cultivation in the snow realm, right?"

Chang Saijiu frowned and said, "That person is mostly active in the cicadas, but hasn't anyone found his trace so far? Besides, what does this have to do with Li Shenyuan?"

The emperor said: "The two are acquainted, Liu Pian's matter is still unexplainable, Li Shenyuan probably also got a special opportunity, just like practicing the lost Confucian method, only relying on his own exploration, he should not be as good as the orthodox Confucian cultivation method, that will be a good way to avoid detours."

The regular sacrificial wine was a big surprise.

It's just that there is a sentence that the emperor didn't say.

When I first saw Liu Pian, it was Shan Ze who made trouble against the Qingxuan Bureau, and Liu Pian showed up to help Shan Ze, and Lu Jiuke had investigated that Li Shenyuan was related to Shan Ze, and he naturally thought that Liu Pian was also from Shan Ze.

But later, the cicada demon was in trouble, and the deputy city lord of Wuqi City set up a realm of cicadas.

Then the crown prince Chen Fudi went to Wuti City and reached a small bet with the deputy city lord.

Then there is His Majesty's will, and the god guard pavilion master Gan Li, who is monitoring Wu Ti City, sorts out what he has seen and heard.

Others may not know what is going on, but as an emperor, he should know that Li Shenyuan is actually the daughter of the deputy city lord of Wuti City.

Then Liu Pian's identity is also questionable.

In other words, there is a very close contact between the city and the mountains.

Even the emperor suspected that the sword head of Wuqicheng that the divine dragon saw the head but did not see the tail might be Liu Pian.

As a result, there are many monks who bathe in the snow in Wuqi City, and they will also have almost lost formations, methods that can be practiced without casting the Yellow Court, and now there are Confucian cultivation methods, and the mystery of Wuti City can be seen.

No one knows if there are still more secrets in the city, and if there is a big plan, it must not be underestimated.

But the Emperor had no intention of telling anyone about such a discovery.

Regular sacrificial wine is the only half-informed person.

Naturally, he didn't think of anything else, and the only thought he had was Confucian practice.

Most of today's readers are pure readers, and the old classics are extinct, not even rubbings, let alone the Confucian cultivation system.

ap.. How many people in the world are like the emperor who has profound Confucian attainments and have comprehended some cultivation methods on their own?

If he can obtain orthodox Confucianism, it will not only enable him to comprehend the heroic spirit as soon as possible, but also be a great blessing for the world's scholars.

Even if there is another saint in the world, the Confucian sect will surely be revived!

......

Soon, day and night turned, and it was time to apply again.

There are only two left before the prince's birthday banquet

hours.

Jiang Wang walked out of Aquarius Alley alone, and a carriage was parked outside the alley.

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing Tan Jinghao's somewhat pale face, and she smiled and beckoned to Jiang Wang.

Seeing this, the monk who was driving the carriage reminded in a low voice, "Miss, don't let a man ride with you."

Tan Jing glanced at Jiang Wang, who was walking over, and said, "On the way to the Shendu, there is a carriage together, and it will be fine."

The Divine Guardian Pavilion monk looked at Jiang Wang, who had come closer, and stopped talking.

And Jiang Wang glanced at him, and said to Tan Jinghao: "After all, you are now the daughter of the Divine Guard Pavilion, and you ride in the same carriage with men, and it is easy to cause gossip, so I will sit on the wheel."

Hearing this, the monk of the Divine Guard Pavilion hurriedly gave up his position, and said a little apologetically, "I thought that Hou Ye had his own carriage, but now I let Hou Ye sit with me, which is really wronged Hou Ye."

Jiang Wang said, "It's out of the way."

He was about to lift his foot when another carriage came from outside Aquarius Alley.

Before the carriage arrived, Chen Chongjin had already poked his head out of the window and waved his hand, "Brother Jiang!"

Jiang Wang smiled and looked at Tan Jinghao, and said, "Now there is a carriage to sit in."

Tan Jinghao was a little depressed, and then glared at the monk of the Divine Guardian Pavilion.

Jiang Wang went straight into Chen Chongjin's carriage, and it was not the prime minister who was driving, but just an ordinary servant.

"That is the niece of Lord Ganga? It seems to be from the Pingyang Hou Mansion, right?"

Jiang Wang sat on Chen Chongjin's left side and asked, "Your Highness knows the Marquis of Pingyang?"

Chen Chongjin shook his head and said, "Where can I call it understanding, compared to the old marquis of Xunyang, who lived in Shendu before, that Pingyang marquis is afraid that he has never been here until he died, but after all, there are only so many princes of the Great Sui, so naturally he has heard of it."

Jiang Wang pretended to be casual and said, "The Pingyang Hou Mansion has been completely defeated, and only the county lord is left, so why shouldn't I? It's embarrassing."

Chen Chongjin sighed, and said with a smile: "But now that Brother Jiang has inherited the Marquis of Xunyang, the future will spread out, and the Hou Mansion will be prosperous again, at this age, Brother Jiang should indeed get married."

Jiang Wang asked rhetorically, "Has Your Highness accepted a concubine?"

Chen Chongjin said helplessly: "Although I boast of being very good-looking, I have a bad reputation after all, my father doesn't care much about me, and my mother is gone, which minister is willing to marry my beloved daughter to me?" Besides, I have a lot of fun listening to music every day, so that's good."

"As for the crown prince, he was born weak, even if the queen wanted him to make a crown princess a long time ago, but unfortunately his body did not allow it, and he was afraid of tossing blindly and shortening his life, so he put it on hold."

Chen Chongjin frowned and said, "I didn't mention it and didn't pay attention to it, but I suddenly remembered that my aunt is not married, my little sister is still young, and there is no one in the royal family who has married yet."

Jiang Wang was a little surprised, "The eldest princess is older than the saint, and she hasn't married yet?"

Chen Chongjin said: "My aunt is not even qualified to take care of her father, who knows what she thinks."

Jiang Wang guessed, "Could it be that the eldest princess is concentrating on cultivation, but she is actually a strong person?"

Chen Chongjin pondered: "I haven't seen my aunt make a move, but every time I see her, I am really frightened, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or something else, after all, my aunt's words, as long as it's not too outrageous, my father will listen, how can we not respect her more."

Jiang Wang didn't speak again.

Thinking about this eldest princess seems to be not easy.
