Happy Little Scholar

The concierge of Prince Jing's Mansion was particularly busy today. Normally, only one person would be required to guard the door. Today, there were five people on duty at the same time.

The people who came to the palace today were either high-ranking officials or dignitaries. His Highness could afford to neglect these people, but they could not afford to neglect them.

Hearing that the visitor reported that his official position was "granted," a porter immediately cheered up, accepted the name card, and stepped forward and said: "My lord, please come in."

For those who came to Prince Jing's Mansion today, some people would hand over name cards and invitations according to the rules, but some people would come in in a swaggering manner, such as the veterans just now, and they would not need to check the invitations one by one.

In the entire Kyoto, no one dared to eat or make trouble during the banquet held in Prince Jing's Mansion.

The porter led him through most of the palace, pointed to a courtyard in front, and said, "I will take you here, and this gentleman can go in by himself."

Wei Xian took a deep breath and stepped in.

So he saw such a scene.

Old General Ma pointed at General Xue's nose and cursed: "Hey old guy, there are only two chicken legs here, and you old guy actually wants to monopolize them!"

General Xue had a chicken leg in his mouth, but he was not to be outdone and scolded back: "Old man, you are so embarrassed to blame me, you just drank all the thirty-year-old wine by yourself, what did I say? ?”

General Xue and General Ma were shouting at each other.

Right Prime Minister Dong Wenyun and Minister of Household Affairs Zeng Shichun clinked glasses with each other.

The person lying under the table and being carried into the room was Jing Zhaoyin Liu Dayou.

Liu Yishou, the Minister of Punishment, was serving dishes to the veteran's table.

The two people at the bottom should be envoys from Wu State and Qi State.

If he read it correctly, the person squatting there grilling fish and crying from the fireworks was the dean of the college, Jin Wang Li Han.

From where he stood, he could see into the kitchen.

The busy figure in the kitchen is none other than King Jing. Accompanying him are Princess Shouning and the eldest princess.

Wei Xian roughly counted the twenty members of the State Council, and there were more than half of them here, including one prime minister, envoys from the two countries, three ministers, four veterans...

Sitting in this small courtyard, more than half of the backbone of Jingguo's court gathered.

"Hey, Mr. Wei is here too. Why are you here so late? Sit here." Dong Wenyun's voice came from beside him. Wei Xian turned his head and was pulled to the table in a daze.

He opened his mouth: "Xiang Dong..."

Dong Wenyun smiled and said: "There is no Prime Minister here, and we will not talk about state affairs today. Drink, drink..."

After saying that, the wine glass in front of Wei Xian was filled.

…

Li Yi was busy in the kitchen alone, cursing in his mind that these bastards were really unreliable, but his own daughter and Shouning were still considerate.

When the last dish came out, he washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Li Xuan's figure walked in from outside the hospital in time.

Not only him, but his queen and concubine were also there.

Li Xuan has always been good at timing, never early or late. In the past, he would eat alone, but now he has a family group.

Seeing that his daughter has been rubbed by his own family, let him rub him again this time.

"I see your majesty, my queen, my concubine!"

At several banquets in the courtyard, even drunk people sobered up instantly and immediately stood up to salute.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite today, you eat what you have..."

Although he said so, it was different whether he came or not. No one dared to be presumptuous now. Even the voices of the two old generals quarreling were much lowered.

Li Xuan and his queen and concubine naturally had to sit in the room, and Mingzhu and Shouning were at the same table with them.

Li Han, who had just gotten rid of the task of grilling fish, had no choice but to sigh and squat back to grill another one.

"You entertained guests, but you didn't invite me..." Li Xuan complained about this.

Li Yi would rather brag with the two old generals than Li Xuan come over and ruin everyone's fun.

He had a hunch that he would be disappointed by Li Xuan more and more times in the future...

Li Xuan took a bite of food, looked at Li Yi and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"It's past fifteen." Li Yi thought for a while, he didn't want to delay in Kyoto for too long.

Li Xuan sighed and said, "I shouldn't leave so soon, at least until Ze'er is one year old."

Li Yi looked at him warily and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Shuzhou!" Li Xuan said matter-of-factly: "I plan to move the Academy of Sciences there when the time comes. You can build me another base in Ruyi City as it is..."

Li Yi still hasn't figured out why Li Xuan can always say such shameless things so easily.

Did he kidnap his daughter or his sister... Even if he kidnapped his daughter or kidnapped his sister, is his request too much?

Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Are you going to be the emperor?"

Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "Isn't there a prince?"

Li Yi looked behind him. Li Xuan's prince was lying on the bed and asleep, with four maids watching beside him.

"Can your prince decide national affairs for you?"

"Isn't there a State Council?"

"What if the State Council can't decide?"

…

"Brother Imperial, sir, the fish is here." Li Han brought the grilled fish up.

Li Yi looked at Li Han and stopped talking.

Li Xuan picked up a piece of fish, looked at Li Yi, and suddenly said: "I plan to make the Dragon Boat Festival girl the princess. What do you think?"

When Li Han heard Duanwu's name, he immediately pricked up his ears.

Li Yi shook his head, "I have no objection."

"Duanwu and Xiaohan are a perfect match, but now that she has the status of a princess, if she marries Xiaohan, outsiders will not gossip about her."

Li Xuan looked at Li Han and asked, "Xiaohan, you are about to turn eighteen. My brother plans to marry Miss Duanwu to you, and your marriage with the Wang family should also be fulfilled. Otherwise, let's get together?"

Li Han was ecstatic, but his face was serious and he said, "It's up to my brother."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "My brother is going to go on a secret tour for a while. Ze'er is too young to take on the important task of the crown prince. As his uncle, you should help him. My brother plans to let you temporarily be the regent. What do you think?"

Li Han just picked up a piece of fish and almost dropped it on the ground.

It turned out that this was a multiple-choice question.

A: Marry Duanwu, marry Ling'er.

B: Regent.

This is not a single-choice question.

Either A and B are chosen at the same time, or neither A or B is chosen.

There is really no princess married in vain in heaven. Li Han took a deep breath and sighed, "It all depends on my brother..."

The officials in the courtyard did not know that their majesty had overturned the pattern of Jingguo in the next few years or even more than ten years with a meal.

There are gains and losses. The current King of Jin and the future regent will regard this truth as the truth of life for a long time.

This banquet ended earlier than Li Yi expected.

Because of Li Xuan, the officials present said goodbye and left after eating and drinking.

Li Yi stood in the yard, sighed, and said: "Why did the late emperor pass the throne to you..."

Li Xuan looked depressed: "I don't want to either..."

A figure staggered out from under the table, patted the dust on his body, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have met King Jing!"

Li Yi looked at him, "Who is this..."

"Wei Xian, the Minister of Revenue." Li Xuan looked at him and said in surprise: "You don't know the guest you invited?"

Li Yi really didn't know this Minister of Revenue. Logically, a Minister of Revenue shouldn't be so poor as to eat for free. Li Yi looked at him and asked: "Is Wei Minister Zhong busy?"

Wei Xian ate the chicken roasted by King Jing and the fish roasted by King Jin today.

He also saw so many important ministers and pillars in the court, and they were completely different from standing in the hall in this small courtyard.

He also heard what His Majesty said to King Jing just now.

"I admire His Royal Highness King Jing very much."

He took a step back, bowed to Li Yi, and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness was leaving, so I came here uninvited today to see him off. I hope Your Highness will not mind..."
