Happy Little Scholar

"I'll introduce someone to you later." The four chatted for a while, and the King of Shu suddenly spoke.

Although he was a prince, he didn't put on airs in front of these three people. First, they grew up together and had a close personal relationship. Second, they all had strong backgrounds and were his strong supporters, so he naturally treated them differently from others.

"Oh? Who is it?" Cui Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard this.

The person who could make the King of Shu introduce the three people so solemnly would naturally not be a simple person, otherwise he would never mention it in front of them.

Chen Lijun also showed an interested expression on his face, but the young man named Qin Yu was drinking by himself, and seemed to have no interest in it.

"A very capable person." The King of Shu smiled and said.

The King of Shu has been recruiting talents from all over the world, and he will naturally not let go of the Chang'an County boy who is valued by his father. As early as three days ago, he sent someone to send an invitation, but today there are three more important people to meet, so he did not go to him first.

As for whether the Chang'an County Master would attend the banquet, this was certainly not within the scope of the Shu King's consideration. He had never considered that possibility.

Because the Shu King kept it a secret, Cui Chengyu and Chen Lijun became more interested in the person he mentioned.

"Go and invite the Chang'an County Master over." The Shu King waved to a servant behind him and said.

The servant heard the words, responded respectfully, and immediately walked away.

"Chang'an County Master?" Cui Chengyu was slightly startled when he heard the words. He had just arrived in Kyoto and was unfamiliar with this name.

When Chen Lijun first heard the name, he was stunned for a moment. After a little thought, he soon had an impression. He frowned slightly and murmured, "It's him?"

The King of Shu looked at him and asked in confusion, "Does Lijun know him?"

Chen Lijun nodded and said, "If there is no second Chang'an County Master in Kyoto, and the Chang'an County Master your Highness is talking about is also surnamed Li, then it should be him."

The King of Shu saw him frowning, and after a moment of stunned silence, he asked again, "The Chang'an County Master is indeed surnamed Li, Lijun ------ does he have a grudge against him?"

The Duke of Chen's Mansion is his firm ally, and the Chang'an County Master Li Yi is a talent he is trying hard to win. Although the latter cannot help him win the throne, it is impossible that his father's attention to him is without reason, and he even invited him to a banquet alone as a grace. Since he is useful to his father, he must be useful to himself, and he is eager to know what the punishment of heaven is that can make Jingguo defeat the strong with the weak and defeat Qiguo?

Therefore, the King of Shu is unwilling to see any conflict between the two.

Chen Lijun shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I've never met him, and there's no grudge between us."

After saying this, he changed the subject and said, "However, the Li family and my Chen family have a long-standing grudge. The Chang'an County Master is the eldest grandson of the Li family, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he has a grudge against him."

This time, it was the Shu King's turn to frown.

If Chen Lijun and Li Yi had a personal grudge, he could mediate. There would always be a way to satisfy both of them. For the Shu King's face, as long as there was no deep hatred, they would probably let it go.

And if there was really a deep hatred, with Chen Lijun's character and background, the Chang'an County Master would not have lived until now.

What he didn't expect was that this matter actually involved the Chen Guogong Mansion. Even if he was the Shu King, he couldn't completely ignore the feelings of the Guogong Mansion.

Seeing the King of Shu frowning, Chen Lijun smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about it. After all, you have to take the overall situation into consideration. The feud between my family and the Li family is just a small matter. It must not affect your Highness's major event."

Chen Lijun was naturally aware of what had happened in the Chen family recently. His Majesty's attitude towards the Chang'an County Master was unclear. The Chen family could not have angered His Majesty for a little personal grudge. Although the Chen family would not do anything to him, Chen Lijun could not have a good impression of the Chang'an County Master.

It was just beyond his expectation that the King of Shu seemed to value this person very much. With this additional link, the Chen family would have to let go of the old grudge.

The King of Shu nodded, but did not say anything else.

At this time, he did not know much about those Chang'an County Masters. If the other party really had great talents, he would mediate between the Chen family and the other party. If Li Yi was just a name, he would naturally not intervene in the matter. When necessary, he would stand on the side of the Chen family.

For them, there are no eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests. As long as the interests are sufficient, enemies can become friends. The King of Shu understands this truth, and the Chen family naturally understands it.

At this time, the servant who had just left came back, but his expression was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"What's the matter, where is the county magistrate of Chang'an?" The King of Shu frowned and asked.

"Your Highness, the county magistrate of Chang'an is not here." The servant replied immediately.

"He didn't come tonight?" The King of Shu frowned even deeper. Could it be that between himself and Li Xuan, Li Yi really chose the latter?

"No, no." The servant hurriedly explained: "County Li came tonight, but, but, just now, he was driven out by Manager Wu."

"What!" The King of Shu slammed the table and stood up from his seat.

Chang'an County Master is a person he values ​​very much. It can be said that, except for a few people present tonight, the one he values ​​most is the mysterious Chang'an County Master. It's just that for some reason, he didn't show this value in time.

However, now, he was actually driven out by the steward of the palace?

The King of Shu was extremely angry. He was the only one who had attended the banquet invited by his father alone. Even the King of Shu himself had never had such an honor. Such a person was actually driven out of his own banquet?

When the current King of Shu walked to a corner with a gloomy face, the expressions of the people in the hall were stunned and their expressions changed immediately.

------

To be honest, after coming out of the banquet, Li Yi not only did not feel embarrassed or disappointed, but was a little happy.

The banquet he was willing to attend was the real banquet. It was better not to attend this so-called banquet where he obviously didn't want to come but had to go through the motions.

After leaving the Shu Palace, Miss Liu followed behind him without saying a word.

Li Yi had long been accustomed to her silence, but today he always felt that this silence was a little different.

"Will leaving like this offend the King of Shu?" At a certain moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind.

Li Yi turned his head and looked at her, and said in surprise: "If I offend him, I offend him. What's the big deal?"

Miss Liu Er was a little strange today. She never asked this question before.

Liu Ruyi looked up at him and said, "You said he is the future emperor."

"Isn't he still the emperor now?" Li Yi replied.

Although he didn't want to offend the King of Shu, it didn't mean that he couldn't afford to offend him. The King of Shu had potential, but at least he was not the emperor now. To put it another way, even if he really became the emperor in the future, the barefoot people were not afraid of the shoes. If Jingguo couldn't make it, couldn't he go to other countries? At most, he could go to the northwest to raise a flag and occupy a mountaintop to be a bandit. His major was also suitable. Who was afraid of who?

"If I hadn't asked you that, things wouldn't be like this now, right?" Liu Ruyi lowered her head, and her voice was no longer as cold as before.

Li Yi was really shocked this time. Is this what Miss Liu Er should say?

He stepped forward, stretched out his palm and covered her forehead, and asked, "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Liu Ruyi knocked his hand down. If it was in the past, she would definitely make a few sarcastic remarks, but today she was not in such a mood.

She thought about it for a long time in her heart. If she hadn't asked that question with a sneer at the beginning, he wouldn't have pretended to say such a joke, and things wouldn't have turned out like this.

However, in Liuye Village and Qing'an Prefecture, it has always been like this. They have always been getting along like this. Even she herself doesn't know why she likes to target him everywhere. However, facing his mean answers, she often can't take advantage of him, and the possibility of suffering losses will be greater. Then, she naturally chooses to take action...

This lifestyle lasted for a long time, but when did it change?

Since they came to the capital inexplicably, became the county magistrate of Chang'an inexplicably, and had so many princes and princesses inexplicably, even a joke would get them kicked out of the banquet...

She doesn't like it here. This is not the life she wants. She doesn't like this kind of life.

Qing'an Mansion is so good, Liuye Village is so good, there are no princesses or princes, no county lieutenants or county magistrates, there are candied haws and Ruyi Lu, and every day they can "learn" martial arts in their own yard ------ this is what she likes.

But, can she go back?

Can he go back with him?

Seeing the blank expression on Miss Liu's face, Li Yi's face changed slightly, and he finally realized that something might have really happened to her.

Such Liu Ruyi made him feel very strange. This was not the Liu Ruyi he knew.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Liu Ruyi, don't scare me!" Li Yi was a little nervous and patted her face. Is there something unclean in this Shu Wang Mansion? Miss Liu's face will not be possessed by evil spirits?

"King of Shu..." She just said two words and was interrupted by Li Yi.

"What the hell is King of Shu? Ten Kings of Shu are not as good as you!" Li Yi said impatiently. What King of Shu is this time? He held her shoulders and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable? This place is not far from the palace. I'll go to the palace to find the imperial physician..."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyi looked up at him and her body trembled slightly.

"It's over, it's over, why are you shaking again..." Li Yi muttered, his face became more anxious, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up, hurry up, we will enter the palace immediately. Fortunately, I didn't forget to bring the card to enter the palace today..."
