Chapter 18 The blind date arranged by the crown prince for the third prince?
Picking the stars, between the flat sea.
Li Huanyu looked at the luxurious decoration in Pinghai Pavilion, the largest box in the Star Picking Residence, and nodded lightly.
A subordinate walked in from outside and said respectfully: "The shopkeeper, the person who sent the sticker has already returned." ”
"In the Star Picking Curie, only Li Huanyu is allowed to be called the shopkeeper, and it is not allowed to be called the prince. This is the rule that Li Huanyu set for the subordinates of the Star Picking Residence.
"Hmm. What do you say about the people at the banquet?" asked Li Huanyu.
"They all said they would be on time. The servant replied.
"Will you go to the banquet on time?" Li Huanyu wondered. This was quite unexpected, and the others were fine, but Shen Ying was not such a good person to invite, so she agreed to come so easily?
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much. Li Huanyu didn't continue to think about Shen Ying's matter, waved his hand, and let his subordinates retreat.
"It's still early, it seems that I have to go into the palace to find my father...... " Li Huanyu muttered. So, after explaining the arrangement of the box to be used at noon, Li Huanyu left for the palace.
After about an hour, Li Huanyu walked out of the palace, his face full of playfulness.
"Well, hurry up and go back, the people who invited you should be coming soon. Li Huanyu thought about it, and quickened his pace.
......
After returning to the Star Picking Residence, the next person had already arranged the Pinghai room. On the original decoration, Li Huanyu ordered people to add more red window flowers, and replaced all the carpets, tables and chairs with red.
Now, just wait for today's protagonist to be in place......
Just as Li Huanyu was thinking about which one would be the first to arrive, a subordinate ran up downstairs and said respectfully to Li Huanyu: "Shopkeeper, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived." ”
"Oh, the protagonist arrived so quickly. Li Huanyu chuckled, and then set off to go downstairs to greet him. But as soon as Li Huanyu walked out of the flat sea, he ran into the person he was going to greet.
I saw a man in a white costume being led towards Li Huanyu by a subordinate, and the strange thing was that this young man's appearance was somewhat similar to Li Huanyu.
When the man in white saw Li Huanyu, he took the initiative to bow and salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Huanyu hurriedly stepped forward to hold him up, and sneered: "Third brother, I told you a long time ago, just call me big brother when you see me, don't call him any prince, it's weird and ugly." ”
Seeing this, the man in white also smiled bitterly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you let your father know that you don't take the position of the crown prince seriously again, he will definitely have to punish you again." ”
The identity of this man is already about to be revealed - the third brother of the prince, Li Xuanye, the third highness of the Yuan Kingdom.
"You, you ......" Li Huanyu really didn't know what to say about this third highness, so he had to put his hand on the shoulders of the third prince, and said as he walked forward: "Let's go, take you to see the box specially prepared for you by the eldest brother." ”
Li Xuanye was puzzled in his heart: What do you mean by preparing for me?
When Li Xuanye followed Li Huanyu into the Pinghai room, he was instantly shocked by the red color that greeted him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... What is the purpose of today's luncheon feast, and why is this box so decorated...... Gorgeous......" Li Xuanye asked dryly.
Li Huanyu listened, showed a mysterious smile, and said, "Well, keep it secret for the time being...... You'll find out later. ”
Li Xuanye was stunned for a moment and did not continue to ask.
At this time, another subordinate ran up to report: Shen Ying, the master of the Snow Red Gate, has arrived at the Star Picking Residence.
Li Huanyu asked Li Xuanye to sit first, while he himself waited for Shen Ying to go upstairs outside the Pinghai room.
Soon, Shen Ying, who was wearing a cyan dress, went upstairs with her subordinates, and for some reason, when she saw that Li Huanyu was empty, there seemed to be a trace of disappointment in Shen Ying's eyes. Li Huanyu noticed the change in Shen Ying's eyes, and he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, his reputation as a prince in the capital was not very good.
"Shen Ying, the folk girl, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. Shen Ying walked up to Li Huanyu, bowed slightly, and saluted the prince.
But Li Huanyu didn't step forward to hold her up, but said directly: "No courtesy, Master Shen." "It's completely different from the previous attitude towards Li Xuanye.
In fact, in Li Huanyu's heart, Shen Ying is still not credible, after all, Shen Ying, like Wu Tong, is the goddaughter of General Ouyang Ce, since Wu Tong has sent someone to assassinate Sima Youran, Shen Ying must not be easily trusted.
"Master Shen, please inside. Li Huanyu took Shen Ying into the Pinghai room.
Just like Li Xuanye, Shen Ying was also shocked by the pretense in this box, but Shen Ying was only stunned for a short time before coming back to her senses, because she saw the man in white who was already seated.
"Shen Ying, the folk girl, has seen the Third Highness. After seeing Li Xuanye, Shen Ying also bowed down and saluted him.
"Master Shen, long time no see. Li Xuanye greeted Shen Ying with a smile.
Under the leadership of Li Huanyu, Shen Ying also took a seat. After taking a seat, Shen Ying asked Li Huanyu: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what is this banquet for today, and who are the people who participated in the banquet?"
After hearing this, Li Huanyu showed his signature smile, and said with a pleasant face: "Master Shenmen, don't worry, there are only four guests I invited to the banquet today, there are already two of them, and you know the remaining two, I believe they will arrive soon." When they arrive, it's not too late for me to reveal the theme of today's feast. ”
After listening to Shen Ying's words, Shen Ying didn't speak. Instead, Li Xuanye suddenly asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why didn't you see Brother Youran today?"
As soon as she heard Li Xuanye mention Sima Youran, Shen Ying suddenly became interested and said: "I heard before that Sima Youran, the son of the former Prime Minister Sima Qianye, was edicted into the capital by His Majesty the Emperor and arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, will Prince Sima come to the banquet today?"
Li Xuanye didn't think much about Sima Youran Li Huanyu, after all, Li Xuanye had known Sima Youran since he was a child, but why did Shen Ying suddenly mention Sima Youran...... Don't...... Do you want to confirm whether Sima Youran is dead?
Li Huanyu's heart instantly became a little wary of Shen Ying, but he didn't show it too much.
"You may not know that a few days ago, he was sent by his father to Linjiang to recruit two Hanlin Yuan to wait for the edict. He hasn't returned to Beijing yet, so he won't be able to catch up with today's banquet. Li Huanyu explained. As he spoke, he also watched Shen Ying's facial changes.
But Shen Ying didn't have any other expression except for a hint of disappointment.
Don't...... Shen Ying is also interested in Sima Youran? Isn't it...... The two of them have never met......
Just as Li Huanyu was thinking about whether Shen Ying and Sima Youran had met, a subordinate walked into the box and said a few words in Li Huanyu's ear in a low voice.
"Did the two of them come together? Then I don't have to pick them up myself. Li Huanyu muttered.
After the subordinates retreated, Li Huanyu came to Li Xuanye's seat and squatted down, patted Li Xuanye's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Third brother...... You're going to have to behave well today, huh?"
Li Xuanye turned his head and looked at Li Huanyu with a puzzled expression.
At this time, Li Xuanye's heart was turbulent: "What is a good performance...... Why do I behave well......"
As if he knew Li Xuanye's inner question, Li Huanyu stretched out a finger and pointed in the direction of the door of the box, only to see two beautiful and moving women walking in slowly.
A woman dressed in a red dress gives a sense of nobility. The other woman was wearing a pink dress, which looked a few years younger than the woman in red, and the woman in the pink skirt also had a kind of gentleness and shyness that was rare for women in the Yuan Kingdom.
The woman in red is Li Huanyu's cousin, Li Qinglan, the county lord of Anping.
The other woman is the precious daughter of Ouyang Ce, the general of the plundering east, and the childhood sweetheart of the third prince Li Xuanye - Ouyang Zhi.
The moment Li Xuanye saw Ouyang Zhi, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Why is Zhi'er here? At this time, Li Xuanye only had this one question in his mind.
Li Huanyu's voice sounded in Li Xuanye's ears again.
"Third brother, you can't let the eldest brother down...... This is a blind date that the eldest brother finally arranged for you......"
