The college students who drank and enjoyed themselves on the lakeside terrace did not completely forget Hua Shanyue's reprimand before. But he was a senior captain in the Don Army and the predecessor of the Academy. Moreover, his words are sharp, but straight to the truth. Therefore, they have no reason to refute. They can only play dumb and comfort themselves in the name of their brothers.

After meeting the nobles holding the banquet in the backyard of the Shengli Mansion, all the students found that the so-called self-righteousness was indeed inappropriate in Chang'an. In this magical city, when a person urinates casually in the alley, he may meet the noble who has also drunk too much. When a person brags in a teahouse, he may meet a prince from the kingdom of Yuelun. They just wanted to have fun together this time, but they didn't expect to meet Princess Tang who was seeing off Crown Prince Yan......

Shengli Mansion occupies a very vast area, and its backyard is the ancestral heritage of an old official in the Shen Feng period, which can accommodate two or three hundred people. But after all, it was the princess who told them to go in. It is impossible to make all the students of the faculties line up to say hello, thus turning a quiet yard into a market. Only a few students with good grades and good reputations were selected as representatives, naturally including Xie Chengyun and other five people in the magic process, as well as well-known talents such as Zhong Dajun, Situ Yilan and Chu Zhongtian's Chang'an nobles, and others.

When all the students of the academy entered the quiet courtyard, Li Yu was whispering to Emperor Yan. Suddenly, she frowned slightly and looked at them consciously. Unsurprisingly, she saw that familiar but disgusting face in the crowd.

For most of the year, she often called Sangsang to the princess's mansion to talk to her. She had never seen Ning Que before. But she still knew what Ning Que had done in the academy in various ways.

She knew about gambling on that semester exam, and later he was isolated by his classmates at other colleges. However, she never spoke up. They only met on the road, so the experience of a college student was not qualified to be brought to her attention. Even if she wanted to, there were many cases where she couldn't show it.

"Your Highness the Princess."

"Prince Chongming."

Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun, Linchuan Wang Ying and other students stood in front of the balcony of the courtyard and greeted the two distinguished people at the table one after another. After a few Q&A, they performed well, especially Xie Chengyun and Linchuan Wang Ying. Li Yu felt more satisfied, but he also felt that Master Xie was from the Southern Jin Dynasty, not the Tang Empire.

"Brother Chongming, what do you think of our young talents in Tang?" Li Yu asked the crown prince with a smile.

The crown prince smiled and said, "The Tang Empire is powerful in the world, and the academy is also an eternal holy land. Of course, they are extraordinary.

At this moment, some noisy voices suddenly came from the quiet backyard of Shengli Mansion, including the sound of blocking and scolding. It seems that someone is heading straight this way. Li Yu looked at the passage outside the corridor behind the bamboo tree, holding a small wine glass with his finger. She didn't speak, just frowned slightly. Hua Shanyue sat on a chair four to six meters behind her, with a serious expression, and reprimanded. "Who is so bold as to dare to enter His Highness's banquet!"

The noise outside the yard quickly turned into something still messy but completely different. The sound of musical instruments behind the corridor of the bamboo forest suddenly became out of place, mixed with the faintly surprised cries of the girls and the sound of startled messengers knocking over the table. Then all these sounds disappeared in the next moment.

In the quiet courtyard, under the rain-covered corridor, next to the bamboo wall, except for the footsteps that fall on the stone road and seem to fall on the heart, there is no sound, only silence, which makes people's hearts palpitate.

The sound of slow footsteps coming from outside the house does not belong to a person, as they are irregular. But all the people in the courtyard seemed to hear only the footsteps of one of them. His steps are steady, and only auditions can release the taste of pride. It seemed like his every step was on his way to the sky.

...

...

The owner of the House of Victory looked distressed and helpless, bending over and walking in front like a poor manservant. Although it was undoubtedly the fastest way for him to lead outsiders into the banquet of the four princesses, these guests behind him were also very honorable. What's more, the other party gave a reason that he couldn't refute at all.

The person walking on the stone road was Zeng Jing, the great secret master of the Tang Dynasty Library Hall. This person, an official trusted by His Majesty and the Empress, had a faint smile on his face, which did not reveal his true emotions.

On the right hand side of Secretary Zeng Jing was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and a Haotian Divine Sword at his waist. He was the vice president of the Xishan Shrine Revelation Academy, and he was also the Molly priest who visited the capital Chang'an.

Although the relationship between the queen and the princess is ordinary, they are naturally in a hostile position because of the major events about the throne in the coming year. Now the empress's ministers are about to enter the princess's banquet, followed by the bigwigs of the Xishan Divine Kingdom. Who wants to put themselves in the middle of such terrible turmoil? In addition, in the crowd there are...

Grand Secretary Zeng Jing and Priest Mori came here hand in hand. They are sure to get the attention of everyone in the yard. But in fact, at this time, everyone's attention was on the young man behind him.

There is a kind of person in the world who has a natural charm. Even if he's a muddy lad among thousands, or an ordinary girl among countless devout believers, no matter how low-key and silent he is walking through the crowd, no matter how many charming bigwigs he surrounds him, you're sure to catch a first glimpse of him and never take your eyes off when he's in the picture.

The young people in the crowd are such people. He was about twenty years old, dressed in the lifeless service uniform of the Ministry of Justice of the Nishiyama Shrine, with an ordinary sword hanging from his waist. His steps were gentle and steady, and he followed Zeng Jing's secretary and Priest Morley into the courtyard. He immediately won everyone's attention.

His handsome features were impeccable, as if legendary, reflecting the faint light of the sky on the treetops, shaking the silky willows. As a result, Prince Longqing appeared in people's field of vision, just like the son of a god.

There was not the slightest hint of negativity on his face, only calm. However, like the clear and stiff footsteps, everyone present could feel the pride hidden in his body but disdained to show it.

It became quiet for a while. The people in the quiet yard subconsciously stood up to greet him. The students of the academy instantly guessed the identity of this person, and there was a hint of helplessness on their faces. They seem to be a little uneasy and have extremely mixed emotions.

Li Yu, who was sitting in the seat, lowered his eyes slightly, and his cold and vigilant look of surprise flashed. The crown prince sitting in front of her had a more complicated expression, mixed with sighs and sadness. Then he slowly stood up and smiled softly, "Long Qing...... I haven't seen each other in years.

At this time, Ning Que, who had been sitting in the most remote corner of the courtyard and constantly complaining that the etiquette was not ergonomic, finally noticed these uninvited guests, and looked at the honorable Prince Longqing in the crowd in surprise. He was full of praise and said, "Da, the hero has finally debuted."

According to the explanation of the priest of the Apocalypse Academy, Prince Longqing caught a cold on the way from Xishan to Chang'an, and he had been recuperating from his injuries in Taoxiang during this time, so he could not visit his brother earlier. He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be back tomorrow, and although he had not fully recovered from his cold, he forced himself to see his brother.

As such an important figure in the Ministry of Justice of the Xishan Divine Palace, his strength was so strong that he was about to enter the realm of the Mandate of Heaven, and no one would believe that a cold would have any effect on him. Everyone knew that Prince Longqing didn't want to see the crown prince too early at all. However, if this was the excuse given by Nishiyama, they had no choice but to accept it, unless they wanted to have a direct debate, which was clearly not the case given the situation.

From the moment the second prince Long Qing walked into the courtyard, everyone's attention was focused on him, especially those students of the women's academy, who couldn't help but whisper to each other and express their admiration for him. Hearing this excuse from Father Morley, they were curious to see how the prince would respond, and whether he would look embarrassed or ashamed.

Prince Longqing did not respond. He just sat quietly at the table below Crown Prince Yan, and according to Priest Morley's explanation, he did not show the slightest embarrassment. To be fair, his perfectly beautiful face showed little emotion other than a calculating smile that was apparently out of politeness. It's like proving to the audience that I know it's an excuse, a very bad excuse, but it's still not my business.
