...... When the second floor was opened, and everyone was silent, suddenly you stood up, smiled and said I can ......"

Situ Yilan looked at him and shook his head with a smile, and said with emotion: "The picture is very beautiful, the story is very exciting, but it's a pity that you are a poor person who can't practice like me." ”

"I can ......" Ning Que thought that he had said it, and probably wouldn't believe the girl on the side of the railing, so he smiled mildly and turned his head, looking at the bustle on the other side of the veil, and said leisurely: "If only one person is recruited on the second floor this time, then I don't understand, why are they still so happy?"

Situ Yilan said with a smile: "Because Xie Sangongzi's popularity is much better than yours, even if someone is jealous of him, he will not put it on his face, but will cheer for him like Zhong Dajun." ”

Ning Que was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Have you all forgotten someone?"

Situ Yilan was stunned, and immediately figured out what he was referring to, and couldn't help but be speechless in shock. Baidu sticker bar, dawn update group, Xiaoyi hand-played

Including her, all the students of the academy forgot the prince of Longqing from Yan Kingdom, probably because in the minds of all the students, the prince of Longqing is the big man of the ruling department of the Xiling Temple, and he is a peerless cultivation genius who is not born, so they subconsciously put this person in a higher position, and never thought of comparing it with themselves, and the lady of the sky who provoked the young girl of the Wan family to think vigorously as soon as he entered Chang'an City, these days he has lived in the peach blossom lane, and even found an excuse not to participate in the palace banquet, which can really be said to be extremely low-key。

"Everyone knows that the purpose of this prince of Longqing coming to Chang'an City is to succeed Yan Youzi as a hostage, but whether it is his status as a prince or the dignity of Xiling Temple, which cannot be offended, he needs another plausible reason, so there are rumors that he wants to enter the second floor of the academy for further study...... Maybe it's not just anecdotal. ”

Ning Que looked at her and continued: "If the second floor of the academy really only recruits one student this time, and if the prince of Longqing really wants to enter the second floor, then in your opinion, Xie Chengyun or Linchuan Wang Ying is qualified to be his rival ......."

"Although the third prince Xie is talented, how can he be compared with the prince of Longqing, and Wang Ying is still young......" Situ Yilan gradually digested the shock in his heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked: "Could it be that the prince of Longqing does not occupy the quota for entering the building?"

Ning Que shook his head and said, "If you have a quota, what should these guys who are happy do?"

He smiled and said as if relieved: "But I think even if he knows that he has to compete with Prince Longqing for the only place, Xie Chengyun will not be discouraged, on the contrary, maybe he can be inspired to have a stronger will to fight." ”

Situ Yilan shook his head and said: "Prince Longqing is about to step into the fate with one foot, and the third prince Xie has just entered the realm, the difference between the two realms is too huge, and the will to fight can't play a big role." ”

Looking at the classmates who were happily drinking on the terrace, thinking about the opening of the second floor the day after tomorrow, the picture of the prince of Longqing coming in a dashing manner, making the students of the academy lose face, she said gloomily: "Although the third prince Xie is from the Southern Jin Dynasty and is not from my Tang Dynasty, after all, after studying in the academy for a year, he can enter the second floor, and we Tang people can accept it, but if it is, ...... The prince of Longqing overwhelmed all the students and became the only one to enter the second floor, and it was really hard to imagine how the elders of the court and the middle school would be angry and disappointed with our students. ”

Prince Longqing is from Yan Kingdom, and his identity is a proton, but he is also a big man in the adjudication department of the Xiling Temple, and he is a world enemy who fights against the Tang Empire, if such a person is allowed to directly overwhelm the younger generation of the Tang Empire Junyan with strong strength in Chang'an City, it will be like a slap in the face of the Tang Empire.

"I don't understand why the academy has this rule. Situ Yilan frowned and looked at the fish swimming in the lake, and said, "Isn't this deliberately creating a scene for the prince of Longqing to see the bottom of the mountains?"

Ning Que smiled and comforted: "It hasn't started yet, and I don't know how to enter the second floor of the academy, how can you predict in advance that the only person who can enter the second floor is Prince Longqing?"

"The Xiling Temple is my enemy of the Tang Dynasty, even if I stand on the enemy's side, I must admit that the Prince of Longqing is definitely the best person of the young generation in the world today, and it is difficult to find an opponent. ”

Situ Yilan said in a deep voice: "It's not shameful to admit the strength of the enemy, what really distresses me is that the Tang Empire has always produced many talents, and in your and my generation, I can't find a person who can compete with the other party." ”

"Who said no. ”

Ning Que said with a smile.

Situ Yilan looked at him with a smile and said, "If you want to talk about yourself, it's really not convincing. ”

"Okay. Ning Que sighed, spread his arms and said: "You don't have to be sad about these things, the left and right are just some face-to-face things, even if the tiger body of the prince of Longqing is shocked and stunned, he Yan Kingdom still wants to pay tribute to us, Xiling Temple still does not dare to provoke us, and there will be no essential changes." ”

"It's not face work, it's honor and dignity, and you are also from the border army, why don't you feel like it at all?"

"What should my Datang soldier look like? Like Hua Shanyue just now, he doesn't squint, caress the handle of the knife, walks with the wind, is brutal and strong, and looks like a soldier? I don't think so, the soldier who defends the territory and opens up the territory does not rely on style, but on something else. ”

"Anything else?"

"Discipline, guts, trust. ”

"By the way, you should know Hua Shanyue, don't you?" Situ Yilan looked at him curiously.

Ning Que thought about the moment when he made eye contact with the Gushan County Lieutenant before, and after a little silence, he replied with a smile: "He is the leader of the younger generation of my Tang military, I am just an ordinary person, I don't know each other, I just used to face each other, but that was a year ago." Speaking of which, I remember that he didn't like me at the time. ”

Situ Yilan didn't know about the things on the grassland return brigade, and said with a smile: "I found that it seems that there are not many people in Chang'an City who like you. ”

Ning Que shook his head and refuted: "You obviously don't know me well enough, you can go and ask the neighbors in Lane 47, except for Wu Lao Er and his daughter-in-law next door, who doesn't like me? I also took you to the Red Sleeves last time, look at those girls, who doesn't like me?"

"Too lazy to argue with you. Situ Yilan looked at the quiet mansion in the depths of the Victory Residence and said, "Will you go in with us or go in alone?"

"What are you doing in there?" Ning Que followed her gaze, shook his head and said, "I don't want to accompany that Highness to dinner, and she may not invite us in." ”

"You guessed that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who was feasting over there. Situ Yilan smiled and replied: "If Your Highness might not normally call you and me in, but today, since all the classmates of the academy are gathered here, and the guests invited by Her Highness to the banquet are definitely not ordinary people, then she will definitely call us in after a while." Baidu sticker bar, dawn update group, Xiaoyi hand-played

Ning Que thought about it for a while, and then understood the hidden meaning of her words, just like Hua Shanyue before, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically, thinking silently in his heart, Li Zhai, you still can't help but develop your power among the younger generation of the empire after all, enhance your influence, and at the same time use this to show your wrist thickness to the distinguished guests......

"It's impossible for more than a hundred people to go in. He smiled and said, "I will definitely pick some guys with good grades and good moral character to go in and meet Her Royal Highness the Princess, where will it be my turn." ”

Situ Yilan remembered that he met his little maid Sang Sang in the princess's mansion one day, and said angrily: "You and Your Highness have old days in the past, and now they are also familiar with each other, I want to take you in, who dares to say anything?"

was able to buy a restaurant in Nancheng before the Imperial History Mansion, and the boss of Deshengju naturally has a very deep background, but he must be a long-sleeved and good dancing character who manages the livelihood of people coming and going. Although the students of the academy can't make much money by chartering the lakeside terrace, he will definitely find a way to get close to those students in normal times, so as to prepare for the future. However, today he didn't go to deal with those students at all, but waited respectfully outside the second gate like a small guy.

Dozens of maidservants walked between the quiet houses with food plates and utensils, and they were trained to make no sound, and only the sound of the wind blowing in the treetops could be heard in the courtyard. The boss of Victorious House stared at everyone's movements with sharp eyes, and after confirming that there was no problem, he relaxed a little, raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Being able to charter the most quiet and expensive backyard of Deshengju can make the owner of Deshengju willing to serve the little guy, and you can imagine how noble the identities of the guests and hosts of today's backyard banquet are. The host of today's banquet is Her Royal Highness Li Zha, the fourth princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the guest she invited is indeed a distinguished guest, and if nothing else, after this guest leaves Chang'an City, he will never have the opportunity to return to Chang'an in the rest of his life.

At the end of the shiny ebony floor, two low tables were placed opposite each other, and the left hand was a few years later, and he sat about the young man, only to see him dressed in plain green clothes, wearing a jade twilight on his hair bun, his eyebrows were straight, and he looked extremely calm and gentle, only a few strands of silver hair faintly visible in his hair, inadvertently revealing the depression of these years.

Prince Yan, who has been a hostage in Chang'an City for nearly ten years, calmly looked at the Tang princess Li Wang opposite, picked up the wine glass in his hand, drank it slowly and firmly, and then said with emotion: "I traveled to Chang'an in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and re-entered Chang'an as a hostage in six years. “

"Brother Chongming, you and I both know that if you still want to meet in Chang'an City, it must only be for two reasons, since this is the case, then it is better not to see each other, or when there is a time, I will go to Chengjing to visit you. ”

Li Yu smiled slightly, picked up the small wine glass that had been playing with his fingers for a long time, and took a sip gently. During the banquet, the two actually knew that the prince of Chongming returned to China this time, and he would succeed to the throne after the death of Emperor Yan, if the king of a country still wants to enter Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, then there are only two possibilities: one is that the Yan Kingdom was destroyed by the Tang Empire, and he was escorted to Chang'an as the king of the dead country to sacrifice prisoners, and the second is that he led the Yan ** team to enter Chang'an City.

Of these two possibilities, the former is too bleak and the latter is too unlikely, so Li Zha will say that it is better not to see it.

"It's okay not to see you. Prince Yan smiled slightly and said: "As you said, if you have time in the future, you can go to Chengjing to see me, and then I will be the master, please eat some fresh and new things." ”

"It's not like I was a kid anymore, where I can only be greedy. Li Yu smiled and said, "But in the future, Brother Chongming, you will be the king of a country, if I reach out to you to ask for something, it will be convenient." ”

One is the orthodox heir to the throne of Yan Kingdom, and the other is Her Royal Highness the princess with the highest status in the Tang Dynasty.

Prince Yan was silent for a moment, a bitter smile appeared on his thin cheeks, and he raised his glass and said in a low voice: "The king of a country...... Where is it so easy to do, I have lived in Chang'an City for nearly ten years, and I have long been accustomed to the climate, water, scenery and people, in fact, I really don't want to go back. ”

"Brother, what you said is inappropriate, Emperor Yan is old and his body is not ......" Li Zha's head shook his head lightly. Baidu sticker bar, dawn update group, Xiaoyi hand-played

"What's wrong? My father didn't like me back then, so he rushed me to Chang'an as a proton, and he didn't have any sadness and pain, for eight years, I was silent in Chang'an City, and there was a letter of condolences and condolences in Chengjing? In fact, the entire Yan Kingdom ...... Forgot about me a long time ago, right?"

Prince Yan raised his wine glass and drank it all, a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

"I spent two years on the grassland, and I was worried that Chang'an City would forget me, but it turns out that as long as you are alive and come back, then no matter how old and faint the memory is, it will be picked up again. ”

Li Yu looked at Prince Yan with a firm expression, and said: "It was Brother Chongming who gave me the idea back then, and I got great benefits by going to the grassland to keep me out of the matter, and now that Brother Chongming is about to return to China, I will naturally give you a few gifts, but I know that you are reluctant to ask for it, but you must remember one thing clearly, no matter how bad the situation in Chengjing is, you are the eldest prince after all, and no one can snatch the throne that belongs to you!"

Prince Yan looked back at her calmly, thinking that she had worked hard for her younger brother over the years, and couldn't help but feel a faint sense of sadness, laughing at herself and saying: "The problem now is not that someone wants to rob me of the throne, but that this throne does not belong to me in the first place, in the eyes of all Yan people, my wise and martial brother is more suitable to sit on that imperial chair than this cowardly prince who has been imprisoned in Chang'an for many years." ”

After a moment of distraction, he continued to whisper: "Although I have been away from Chengjing for many years, I still remember some things very clearly when I was a child, Longqing seems to have been a genius from birth, whether it is riding and arching poetry books or even practicing, it seems that there is nothing in the world that he can't do, and compared with him, my prince has no peculiarity, so it becomes a natural thing for my father to like him and pamper him, and the ministers trust him and rely on him." ”

"What's more, he is now a big man in the adjudication department of the Xiling Temple. ”

Prince Yan looked at Li Zha's and said: "Since the day he entered the Xiling Heavenly Oracle Academy, Longqing's mother clan has begun to build momentum in Chengjing, and now this momentum is beyond the power of manpower, because he has strong reinforcements from outside, and he is strong in teaching...... From Xiling. ”
