"Second Highness, the little girl Yulan is here to give her father a cup for the Second Highness. The Second Highness can come to Geng's Mansion in person, which really makes the mansion shine, and it also makes the little girl flattered. Geng Yulan sat in her seat and raised her glass to invite.

Renshan looked at Geng Yulan, he didn't have any prince's shelf, he casually picked up his wine glass with only half of the wine left, touched Geng Yulan in the air, and let Hou actually drink it himself. It wasn't until he put down his glass that he realized something was wrong with what he was doing.

Geng Yulan didn't expect that the second prince would be so casual, and the wine glass she was holding was still stunned in the air.

"Although the county lord of Yulan is a few years older than me, even if my father has decreed that Yulan's sister has been given the title of "Affinity County Lord", there is no need to call me Second Highness in the future, so as not to be born, just call me the second brother. Renshan looked at Geng Yulan, he put down his chopsticks and said slowly.

"Hehe, okay, then my sister will drink this cup to honor the second brother!" Geng Yulan listened to Renshan's words, she also smiled, and then drank the wine in the cup.

Geng Yulan is actually a girl who is very urban, she herself is the "big sister" of Shangshu Mansion, and now she is married to Wang Lianmin, a "from the four products" of the imperial history Shaocheng and "the master of Dali Temple", it can be said that she is "married".

However, Wang Lianmin's potential and future development can also be seen by everyone. If she doesn't want to "bend down" all the time, Geng Yulan will have to worry more about Wang Lianmin. Obviously, Geng Zhi didn't want to get involved in the "crown prince dispute," but Geng Yulan wanted his "husband" to seek a "heavenly wealth" in the crown prince dispute! So that he could rise to prominence in the court as soon as possible, so as to ensure that their kings and Geng families still had the status of "national pillars" in the new dynasty!

At this time, the "second prince" is undoubtedly Geng Yulan's choice! She has grown up in Kyoto for so many years, and she has also "heard and seen" some things in the court in the Shangshu Mansion, so she naturally knows, "These two princes are powerful contenders for the prince!" And this time, the second prince came with a holy decree in his royal capacity, "This signal of a tiger and wolf was obviously received by Geng Yulan clearly." ”

Geng Yulan elbowed Wang Lianmin and motioned for him to pick up his wine glass as well. Then she said softly, "Second brother, today you personally announced the decree, and the two of us will toast my brother together." Geng Yulan smiled coquettishly, as if she had gained a lot of money.

Renshan also seemed to have received some kind of message, he said kindly, then poured himself another glass of wine, raised it and said, "Well, brother-in-law, you will treat my sister Yulan well in the future!"

"Hey, then I will also call the second highness my brother presumptuously! Please rest assured, my Wang Lianmin will treat the county lord of Qinhe well in the future, hold her in the palm of his hand, and never let her suffer hardship. Wang Lianmin saluted forward with his wine glass in both hands.

"Hey, it's not okay not to endure hardships and suffering, I don't think Lord Geng will let you go if you are tired of hardships! If you don't have the ability to let Sister Yulan live a rich and happy life, then I can't spare you!" Renshan also said with a smile, and then handed the wine glass forward.

Wang Lianmin also rubbed hard, and the wine glasses of the two touched slightly, and then the three of them smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

"Eh, I said, niece Yulan, I still hugged you when I was a child, why have I been sitting for so long, and I haven't seen you toast my uncle and me, isn't it a matter of childhood, you have completely forgotten it!" Zheng Xiaoyao watched Xianfa and Wang Lianmin clink glasses, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Since ancient times, the emphasis is on "the right time, the right place and the right people", in Zheng Xiaoyao's eyes, the current immortal law, that is "everything is ready, only the people are owed..."

The so-called, "Tianshi" is the three princes of the royal family, only he is the second prince, and there are no "obvious defects!"

The so-called "geographical advantage" means that at this time, he appeared in the field of vision of the "hundred officials" as a prince earlier than the other two princes, especially now he has also come to the banquet of the "Geng Shangshu Mansion" with a holy decree! Earlier, closer, and more high-sounding than other princes, he has a more high-sounding contact with the "three grades" and above in the court, and the "three upstarts" of the imperial court! Moreover, Zheng Xiaoyao knows that in this crown prince, these old ministers can only "change the direction of the wind in the sky", and finally they can really master the giant ship, the "helmsman" It's them. It is they "the top three of the three current branches, the upstart of the imperial court, the "favored minister" of His Majesty now, and the helmsman of the crown prince dispute..."

There is a legend in ancient times, "Those who get the talent of the unicorn can win the world". At this time, His Majesty issued an order to seal the champion of this department, and Li Chengjie was named "Kirin"!

There is an ancient legend that "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks can settle the world if they have one of them!", but one of them promised to be the "Xu family", and naturally stood on the opposite side of his "Zheng family". Now seeing that Wang Lianmin is so close to the second prince Xianfadi, how can he not be "congested".

His little nephew, the immortal law, is so well-behaved and cute, so civil and military, and so extraordinary. But, how... How did he fall from his mother's womb that kind of "disease", really called "Zheng Xiaoyao" Every time he thinks of this, he always feels that he has created something evil in the first half of his life, and this punishment has fallen on his own nephew...

Now the second prince is "taking advantage of the time and place"! If he waits for the officials of various ministries to be gathered and the new nouveau riche is brought into the palace, and then he has this "harmony", he will have nothing to do...

But now, Zheng Xiaoyao looked at Xu Yan's "not salty and not light" appearance, and he was angry, he knew that the Xu family would definitely not miss the "peerless competition" such as the "battle of the crown princes", and the Xu family was a family that was even more greedy than their Zheng family! Moreover, Zheng Xiaoyao knew very clearly that the Xu family might choose the eldest prince or the second prince, but it was absolutely impossible to choose the third prince, although the current Xu family was still waiting, but Zheng Xiaoyao was very clear," They solemnly promise that the interests of the two families are not allowed to outsiders to come in and get a piece of the pie"!

That's because Zheng and Xu are now confident that even if they lose the "battle for the crown prince", they can "stop the loss in time" by begging for mercy in time, and then give up most of the interests in the future and stand behind the same "soon-to-be-won" prince together, in order to share the "small interests" of the future, and then "slowly figure it out"...

This is the current plan of the Zheng and Xu families! It is really a beautiful calculation!

Zheng Xiaoyao and Xu Yan tacitly believe that there will be a rivalry between them, but they are both in proportion to each other, and no one has made a dead move, after all, "the fish is dead and the net is broken", why should the two of them bother?

Li Chengjie naturally saw all this clearly. originally thought that "the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman", he can get a "fisherman's profit" in the end, but he analyzed the situation in front of him, and saw that Zheng Xiaoyao and Xu Yan could still talk and laugh during the banquet, Li Chengjie knew that the relationship between Xu Yan and Zheng Xiaoyao, at least for now, is not the kind of relationship between the "snipe and the clam ".

It is more like one person occupying the forest for the tiger and the other occupying the sea for the shark! There is a clear division between the two people, who do not infringe on each other and seek each other's greatest interests. Sometimes the tide rises, the "shark" occupies one more point, sometimes the tide recedes, and the "tiger" occupies one more point.

As the saying goes, "how much you pay, you have to seek equal benefits", and vice versa, "how much you want to get, how much you have to pay!"

You think, "a companion is like a tiger," but there are still countless people who are willing to "seek skin with the tiger"! You can see that "the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!" "People are born either in pursuit of interests, or on the road of pursuing interests!"

......

"Uncle Zheng, where is it, this third cup is to honor Uncle Zheng. Geng Yulan listened to Zheng Xiaoyao's somewhat displeased tone, and hurriedly said flatteringly.

However, when she poked Wang Lianmin with her elbow just now, she found that Wang Lianmin did not pay attention to her stubble at this time, but raised the wine glass, staggered towards Li Chengjie, and put one hand on Li Chengjie's shoulder, which looked very similar to the "koala" hanging on the book.

Wang Lianmin spat out the wine in his mouth, and then said, "Brother Chengjie, since the holy decree has been issued today, the marriage between me and Yulan can be regarded as decided, and I sincerely invite Brother Chengjie here, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy in the future, Brother Chengjie will come to attend my wedding with Yulan." Wang Lianmin said, and stretched out his wine glass to clink glasses with Li Chengjie.

I don't know if Wang Lianmin really drank too much, or if he did it intentionally, between the "staggering", the wine glass in Wang Lianmin's hand was against the wine glass of Mu Youzhi, and the wine glass with Li Chengjie "missed"!

Moreover, as if he didn't know anything, he took back the wine glass and drank it, and patted Li Chengjie's shoulder stupidly, saying, "Drink, Brother Chengjie!"

Wang Lianmin smiled.

Li Chengjie looked at Wang Lianmin's move, just shook his head slightly, didn't care about him, picked up his wine glass, drank the wine in the wine glass, and after drinking it dry, he also shook the cup downward, indicating that he didn't have a drop of wine left.

Wang Lianmin looked at Li Chengjie doing this, he also smiled, and returned to Geng Yulan's side with great satisfaction.

At this time, Geng Yulan also finished clinking glasses with Zheng Xiaoyao, her eyes were full of reproach and looked at Wang Lianmin, you know, the move of "Wang Lianmin" just now was listed in the eyes of "Zheng Xiaoyao", and also refuted her face as an "affinity county lord", although he also knew the importance of "Li Chengjie" in his heart, and even felt that "Wang Lianmin's sentence, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy in the future, Brother Chengjie will come to my wedding with Yulan." "It's very necessary...

However, she still felt that Wang Lianmin, as a newcomer to the court, even if he had the favor of His Majesty, the love of the Imperial Doctor, and the support of his father's "Ministry of Justice", he also...

"Oh, yes!" Thinking of the times, Geng Yulan's eyes softened again. She understood that her "future husband" was not a fool, and his actions just now naturally gave her a wake-up call.

"One foot on two boats" has been tolerated by no one since ancient times, let alone their "careerists".

She just gave the "second prince", that is, her "second brother", and then she showed goodwill to "Zheng Xiaoyao" Uncle Zheng Guo, the decisive third prince's henchmen, and it was obviously inappropriate to be in front of the second prince, and Wang Lianmin's move just now was also invisibly, re-making Geng Yulan recognize a reality, that is, he, Wang Lianmin, supported the "second prince"!

Geng Yulan also thought clearly, he is a king and a merciful man, not only has holy grace, but also has Shangshu's father-in-law, and has a doctor of imperial history

Lu Qing is driving, and there is "Li Chengjie", the "ace boss", and the "affinity county lord", that is, she is her wife, although he Wang Lianmin is now just a "young historian from the fourth grade", "a small master of Dali Temple", but his current comprehensive relationship is not weaker than Zheng Xiaoyao, and even, when all his identity "advantages" are brought into full play, he vaguely has to "be a few points higher than Zheng Xiaoyao"!

After all, "Uncle Zheng Guo" has lost his "sacred heart" in a considerable number of matters in recent years, because his nephew Xian Fa, that is, the "Three Princes," has often caused disputes with His Majesty! And most of the officials who stand on the side of the "Uncle Guo" party do not know what kind of illness the "Three Princes" are suffering from!

Therefore, he Wang Lianmin really doesn't need it now, and deliberately caters to the "Zheng Xiaoyao", the king of Xiaoyao, especially now, in this sensitive period of "standing in line", Wang Lianmin must be careful step by step. He is not as good as the "Zheng Xu family", with his family background as support, he only has himself now, and he may have one more "Geng Mansion" in the future, but he is destined to fight alone, destined to him, there is only one chance to "make a lonely bet"!

He, Wang Lianmin, can only make a firm choice in the future to find a "rich" and noble one, which will give their Wang family the opportunity to gain a foothold in Kyoto within one day! Obviously, he has already placed all his bets on the "Second Prince's Immortal Law Land."

This decision was not hasty, because he also read the holy will from the "holy will", and he believed that "the holy will cannot be violated" and "the holy will must not be violated"! Moreover, Wang Lianmin even noticed that his "father-in-law" Geng Zhi and Lin Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, had just left the table and had not returned, so he could guess that these two scholars must also be "exploring" the road to the future!

"Stand first to eat meat, then stand to drink soup!" Wang Lianmin was decisive and stood behind the second prince first.

If he knew now that the second prince turned into a celebrity mountain and was Li Chengjie's apprentice, he would definitely be overjoyed. However, in the near future, when he knew, Wang Lianmin could only feel disheartened...

"Xu Zaifu, little girl Yulan, thank you for your great drive too!" Geng Yulan withdrew her gaze from Wang Lianmin's body, then raised her glass again and saluted Xu Yan.

It's not that she didn't remember Wang Lianmin's reminder just now, and now she is going to "show goodwill" to the people of the Xu family, and it is because she gets Wang Lianmin's reminder that she should pay tribute to "Xu Yan, this Zaifu", obviously she did this, and she pulled herself back to the "neutral" position!

The Xu family and the Zheng family don't deal with each other, and they each toast a cup, which is just polite. And when she returned to neutrality, she followed "Wang Lianmin" and stood behind the "second brother", because she toasted the second prince with two glasses, and King Xiaoyao and Xu Zaifu each toasted a cup!

......

"Senior brother, is Wang Lianmin drunk? Why did he clink glasses with you, but he touched my wine glass. Mu Youzhi waited for Wang Lianmin to sit back in his place, and she asked in a low voice.

"Ha, you just think he's drunk!" Li Chengjie looked at Mu Youzhi's "innocent" appearance, he smiled, thinking, "Since she won't have a chance to enter the court in the future, then he won't talk to Mu Youzhi about these things in the storm." "I'm not an insider, and it's not beautiful to know more!

"Also, when I saw that Wang Pianmin, he was drunk with joy! I remember that he was drunk without a few drinks at the party that day! Satisfied with nonsense, no matter whether it was sunny or rainy in the future, he would come to his wedding with Yulan. Could it be that someone would get married on a "rainy day"? Especially since what he wants to win is the "Affinity County Lord", which is the level of the emperor's "marrying a daughter", how could Qin Tianjian calculate such a cloudy day!" Mu Youzhi nodded, didn't think much about it, and made up two more mouths.

Li Chengjie listened to Mu Youzhi talking to himself there, he smiled and didn't explain. He naturally knew that Wang Lianmin was not drunk at all! His drunken state was shown to others, and even though everyone knew that he was not drunk at all, he still had to pretend to be drunk, so that he could "say some willful words." Even if there were some consequences, it could be inferred that he was "drunken nonsense"! Moreover, such ambiguous words were not considered a trick in the first place, and this was the prudence of "officials."

And the phrase "whether it's sunny or rainy" also means that no matter whether they stand on the "same party" at that time or not, he recognizes "Li Chengjie as the boss", after all, he will have to "work in Dali Temple" in the future! He can be regarded as taking a preventive shot in advance! I don't want to destroy the friendship between the two people because of something!

In addition, not to mention the future position, just by virtue of talent and character, both of them are willing, introduce each other as friends, and make each other friends! It's just that there is a lot of helplessness in the court! I can't help myself, and no one is sure what will happen in the future...

"Come on, let's raise a glass together, don't be inhibited. What toast or not, everyone drinks at will, open to drink, the imperial wine given by the father should be almost here, after drinking this stubble, continue to drink it for a while!"

Everyone at the banquet also responded to his call as the "second prince" and raised their wine glasses.

It's just that when Li Chengjie and Renshan looked at each other, the two of them tacitly touched a glass alone in the air!
