Not long after the two of them entered the palace, a eunuch in a red python robe greeted them. He bowed to Li Qiaoyan and said:

"Princess, Your Majesty has ordered, you and this prince can come and go directly to the imperial study to see him."

"There's Father-in-law Lao Wei." There was respect in the words.

The two followed the old eunuch all the way to the imperial study.

"Princess, Childe. Please wait a moment and let me go in and report to Your Majesty. ”

With that, Gonggong Wei entered the imperial study, leaving the two of them waiting in place.

"Father-in-law Wei is my father's companion since childhood, the two have a very good relationship, when my father was assassinated, he sacrificed his life to save him, so my father has great trust in him." Li Qiaoyan said for no reason. Li Chenyu bowed slightly.

Gonggong Wei entered the imperial study and saw Emperor Xia wearing a black dragon robe writing on the bookcase, Emperor Xia's calligraphy is very good, and the ink color is slightly lighter, giving people a sense of strength.

"Your Majesty, Princess Mingyue and that prince are already waiting outside the imperial study." When Emperor Xia heard this, he withdrew his gaze from the calligraphy and said, "Well, let them in." ”

"Princess, childe, you can go in."

Li Qiaoyan nodded at the old eunuch, then looked at Li Chenyu and said, "Son, please." ”

The old eunuch was a little surprised, the usually proud princess was faintly headed by this white-clothed man. Then he thought that this prince had saved the princess's life, but he quickly put away his surprised expression and bowed his head and said nothing.

The two entered the imperial study, and the seats were already prepared in the imperial study, and Emperor Xia saw Li Chenyu. He looked extremely enthusiastic and smiled kindly: "Sit down, don't think of me as an emperor today, I'm just an ordinary father who wants to meet my daughter's life-saving benefactor." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Chenyu sat down opposite Emperor Yixia, and Li Qiaoyan also sat down. It's just strange that Emperor Xia didn't arrange Li Qiaoyan's position next to him, but Li Chenyu and Li Qiaoyan sat side by side.

After the two sat down, Emperor Xia looked at the two of them carefully, and said with a smile: "Is it really a talented woman?" ”

Li Qiaoyan blushed with shame. Said: "Father, don't make fun of me. Although she said so, the girl did not refute her secretly looking at Li Chenyu's side face, and deduced that the son at this time was still expressionless, and she felt a little lost in her heart.

"The princess is in the city, there is no need to say more, as for me, Your Majesty has a good reputation." Li Chenyu said.

When the girl heard this, the gloom in her heart was swept away, and she thought, at least Childe thinks I am beautiful, and her eyes become brighter.

Emperor Xia sat opposite, and the changes in his daughter's expression fell in his eyes, and he felt a little melancholy in his heart. This child's soul has been hooked. Emperor Xia looked at Li Chenyu and said with a smile, "Where does the son's family live, but he was married, and who else is in the family?" ”

Listening to this tone, it was like a father-in-law asking the husband his daughter brought back, "I am from the northwest of Great Xia, a small village, and as for my family, I have no family." "If you don't have a family, you naturally haven't been married, but although Li Chenyu still said it in a calm tone, Li Qiaoyan still keenly captured that when it came to her family, Li Chenyu had changed at that moment, and she looked at Li Chenyu with a distressed face.

"I'm sorry, but I was a little abrupt." As the emperor, Emperor Xia did not call me me, and he apologized for this incident, showing great respect.

"It's okay, I don't feel anything." Li Chenyu replied.

"Don't talk about this, is it the first time for Childe to come to the capital? Didn't you have a place to live? ”

"Well, there's no place to live."

"Then presumably Childe doesn't have a place to live yet, Childe is Mingyue's life-saving benefactor, and it just so happens that the royal family still has a house in the capital that is still empty, so it will be given to Childe."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Li Chenyu said.

Immediately noticed the rice paper and ink placed on the bookcase, Li Qiaoyan smiled and said, "Has my father written again?" ”

looked at Li Chenyu on the side again, and said: "Childe, my father's handwriting is excellent, even those readers who quarrel with my father every day are recognized, go back and ask my father to write two articles for you, we will take them out and sell them to those readers, earn some silver, let's go to the drunken immortal residence for dinner." ”

"How can you be a daughter like this, and besides, I am the emperor, what kind of system is this?" The Xia Emperor is full of black lines.

"Your Majesty, can I take a look?" Hearing her say this, Li Chenyu was also a little curious.

"Haha, of course you can." When it comes to calligraphy, Emperor Xia is obviously a little complacent.

The two got up and came to the bookcase, and what was written on it was not a poem or song, but the words "Bai Yujing". Li Chenyu squinted, and at this time, Li Qiaoyan said with some doubts: "Father, what does Bai Yujing mean, is it a person's name?" Or whatever. ”

Emperor Xia didn't answer in a hurry, but smiled slightly, and said to Li Chenyu: "Childe, do you know what this means?" ”

Li Chenyu's expression was still indifferent, he looked at Emperor Xia, and slowly spoke: "Bai Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor." The immortals caressed my top, and my hair was immortalized. Legend has it that this is the place where the immortals live, and if the people of the human world can reach this place, they will be blessed by the immortals and live forever. Emperor Xia listened to the poems that Li Chenyu had never heard of, and his expression was cloudy.

"Are there really immortals, Father?"

"Perhaps, maybe it's just a rumor in the world, after all, how many people in the world can resist the temptation of immortality?" Emperor Xia quickly adjusted, looked at his daughter, and replied with a melancholy look in his eyes.

"Since this son has heard about this, do you think Bai Yujing really exists?" There seemed to be a hint of flame in Emperor Xia's eyes.

"There are also rumors that even gods have the five decays of heaven and man, and they are not immortal, so how to grant immortality to others is just some boring legends." Li Chenyu's tone became more and more indifferent.

"Childe knows a lot." Li Qiaoyan said with a tone of adoration.

"Don't talk about this, Childe heard that you are going to treat Mingyue's strange disease, do you need us to prepare anything? You don't know, this disease has tormented this girl all these years. Emperor Xia's face was full of distress.

Before Li Chenyu could answer, Li Qiaoyan said happily: "Father, before we came, Gongzi had already cured me, and Gongzi only used a few silver needles to cure my illness. “

When Emperor Xia heard this, he was shocked, and then turned to joy and said: "The illness of so many famous doctors who are helpless has been solved so easily by Gongzi, who is really a god. ”

He looked at his daughter again, "That's fine, although that disease can make you invincible, but every year when you get sick, you are in pain, and my father is distressed when he looks at it." ”

"Father, the prince helped me remove the cold poison, but the invulnerable characteristics of a hundred poisons have been retained."

Emperor Xia's expression was complicated, and he said faintly: "Mingyue promised her father that she would finish her words at one time next time." ”

...

"Yes, Father." Li Qiaoyan smiled slyly.

"I heard Mingyue say that Childe wants to join the Cherish Dao Alliance?"

"Well, the princess invited me, and I agreed."

"Originally, those who entered the Cherish Dao Alliance had to go through a lot of audits, but that was for others, for a talent like Childe, and it was naturally not necessary to save Mingyue, and I would give Childe, the greatest freedom, Childe will become a guest of the Cherish Dao Alliance, and there is no need to accept tasks regularly, but you can enjoy normal treatment, and Childe can choose whether to participate in the mission of the Cherish Dao League."

Li Chenyu was a little surprised, but he still bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Li Qiaoyan was surprised by the conditions offered by her father, but when she thought that it was her son, she immediately felt that it was very reasonable.

"There's nothing to do, Mingyue, you take Li Gongzi to the city, go shopping, and do your best to be a landlord."

"Well, father, by the way, I still don't want to participate in today's Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing banquet, father." Li Qiaoyan said coquettishly.

Xia Huang listened to his daughter's words and looked at the two of them, where he didn't know his daughter's thoughts.

His eyes were resentful, and he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you." ”

"Thank you, father, father is the best." Li Qiaoyan looked delighted.

The two saluted Emperor Xia, and then exited the imperial study.

After the two left, Emperor Xia looked at the three words "Bai Yujing" on the bookcase, looking stunned.

Out of the imperial study, Gonggong Wei blocked the way of the two, the two looked at him with some doubts, and he said: "Your Majesty ordered in advance, let our family take Li Gongzi and go to the residence first." If you are not satisfied, you can change it again.

Li Chenyu opened his mouth and said, "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

"It's a matter of divided, and the son has tormented the slave."

Immediately, the two of them followed Gonggong Wei outside the palace and got into the carriage that had been prepared a long time ago. Father-in-law Wei followed outside on horseback

This mansion is not very far from the palace, so the three of them arrived quickly.

The two of them stepped out of the carriage, and what caught their eyes was an extremely imposing mansion, with two large stone lions standing majestically at the door, guarding the door of the mansion.

"Childe, please, let's see if there is anything you are not satisfied with, let's discuss it again, Your Majesty has ordered, we must make Childe satisfied."

Li Chenyu didn't shirk, "Well, father-in-law go back and thank Your Majesty for me." ”

The three of them walked into the house, and a tall plane tree was planted in the middle of the house. There is a pavilion in the courtyard with stone tables and stone chairs. The path leading to the pavilion is well-groomed on both sides of the grass and paved with cobblestones. The grounds were very clean and apparently freshly cleaned.

Gonggong Wei took the two of them and walked around the various rooms, and said while introducing: "This house was bought by Your Majesty when he was young, greedy for fun, and bought it outside without the knowledge of the emperor, and occasionally sneaked out to play in the capital. ”

Speaking of this, the old eunuch showed a smile on his face, and immediately said: "Childe, but you are still satisfied, if you are satisfied, Your Majesty has ordered, such a big house, Childe will inevitably not be able to take care of it alone, I have arranged it for you, the housekeeper and the maidservant, help you take care of it here." ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but I'm used to it alone, so I won't bother my father-in-law." Li Chenyu said with a smile.

"Okay, it's good if the son is satisfied, then it's okay, and our family will go back to life."

"Father-in-law walks slowly." The old eunuch bowed to the two and then left.

There were only two people left in the room, Li Chenyu and Li Qiaoyan, the two were sitting around the table, Li Qiaoyan said happily: "Childe, this is very close to me, can I come to play with you in the future?" ”

"Yes."

Li Qiaoyan's eyebrows curled, "Childe, if you need anything in the future, you can tell me." ”

"Okay." Hearing this, Li Qiaoyan's smile became brighter.

At this time, it was already close to noon, "Childe, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Residence for dinner." She took out a small purse, shook it slightly, and looked at Li Chenyu with bright eyes.

Li Chenyu looked at the cheerful girl and nodded, "Well, it's okay." But you have to wait for me a little bit, it shouldn't be too long,"

"Okay, I'll wait for you here, Childe will be busy first."

Li Chenyu nodded slightly, then got up and went to the guest room next to him. A stretch of hand. The picture scroll of mountains and rivers appeared in his hand. He was relieved and sank into the scroll.
