Happy Little Scholar

I didn’t expect that this middle school boy named Wang Dan was actually from the Wang family in Luochuan, and his status was not low. Although he was not the eldest son, he was also the legitimate son, the younger brother of Wang Yong, the future head of the Wang family.

Of course, he was also Li Xuan’s brother-in-law.

It was really surprising that Li Xuan’s brother-in-law was mixed with Qin Yu and others, and judging from the state between the two, this brother-in-law seemed to be unconvinced by Li Xuan, his brother-in-law.

There were too many people attending the banquet tonight, not only the officials and dignitaries in Kyoto, but also their children. After the grand court meeting, the officials who came to Beijing from all over the country had not left yet. Naturally, one palace could not accommodate so many people, and more people were not qualified to enter the palace.

Including Qin Yu and many dandies in Kyoto, they could only eat and drink outside the palace.

Even if the Wang family was one of the most powerful families in Jingguo, the two juniors could only sit in the main hall in a remote corner. A little further back, they would have to sit outside the palace.

Li Xuan's seat was naturally in the front. Although Li Yi did not need to attend court on weekdays, his official position could not be measured by common sense. His seat was extremely forward. I wonder if someone deliberately arranged it to be connected with Li Xuan.

At this time, there was no one on the main seat in the front. The dance in the center of the hall was extremely beautiful. Everyone was laughing and enjoying it. There were not many days to relax like this throughout the year.

In a corner of the hall, a young man named Wang Dan pouted with a face full of arrogance.

"Are you not convinced?" Wang Yong asked his brother.

"Humph!" Wang Dan snorted coldly, clearly writing these three words on his face.

Wang Yong knocked on his head and said, "Even my father attaches great importance to Li County Bo. You are so young, what do you know?"

"He is a bad guy!" Wang Dan glanced in a certain direction in the hall and said coldly.

"Bad guy?" Wang Yong's smile faded, and he said word by word: "Wang Dan, do you know who you are?"

Wang Dan had never seen his elder brother show such an expression, and his body trembled and his face turned pale.

Wang Yong looked at him and said seriously: "What happened just now, tell me everything, don't hide anything!"

Wang Dan shuddered and said: "Yes, it was Brother Qin and the others..."

...

After a while, after listening to him finish the story, Wang Yong looked at him with an unconcealable disappointment on his face, and said: "Father and I have high hopes for you, but I didn't expect you to be so stimulated by such a clumsy method. You disappoint me so much!"

"Brother, Brother Qin and the others..." Wang As soon as Wang Dan opened his mouth, Wang Yong waved his hand and said, "Don't say that they have ulterior motives. Even if they are truly upright and are also from the Shu King's line, the Shu King failed to marry your sister and has stood on the opposite side of our Wang family. As the legitimate son of the Wang family, can't you even think of these things?"

Wang Dan curled his lips and said, "The Shu King is not as good as him. Why does father..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Yong's voice became colder, and even a few people around looked over. Wang Dan immediately retracted his neck and stopped talking.

"Your Highness and Li County Earl are the leaders of the younger generation. At a young age, they have already become famous in Kyoto. What qualifications do you have to say such words? Not to mention the Academy and the Academy of Sciences..."

...

After listening to his elder brother telling the story of Li Yi and Li Xuan, Wang Dan's face showed shock. He looked in a certain direction again. The cheap brother-in-law he always looked down on and the unreasonable person he just met, are they really so powerful?

"So what? In a few years, I will be better than them..." Wang Dan said with a sneer, but his tone had softened.

"Let's not talk about a few years..." Wang Yong looked at him, "What you should worry about is half a month later."

"Why?" Wang Dan turned his head and asked in confusion.

"My family used a lot of resources to allow you to enter the School of Mathematics without taking an exam." Wang Yong looked at him and said, "Half a month later, it will be the day for enrollment in the School of Mathematics, and the Dean of the School of Mathematics is the "guy" you just mentioned."

Wang Dan's expression froze, he rubbed his still numb shoulders, looked in a certain direction in the hall, and his heart fell into the bottomless abyss...

...

...

"This, this, it must be in this."

"No, there was clearly nothing under this bowl just now!"

"Does the sir know magic, like Sun Wukong?"

...

The hall was full of singing and dancing, but from a small area in front, screams and cheers were heard from time to time.

Tsundere Lolita led several younger brothers and sisters over and was surprised by Li Yi's close-up magic tricks.

It was nothing more than putting beans under the bowl and letting them guess, and then using some tricks to transfer the beans or create something out of nothing, and conjuring beans in an empty bowl. This kind of magic trick with no technical difficulty could only fool children. When performing in front of Ruyi and Miss Liu Er, it always ended in failure.

Several little princes and princesses were "very loud". Although they could not be said to be the focus of the entire hall, many people kept paying attention to this side.

"Okay, okay, no change today, let's go play." It always felt a little strange to be watched by so many people. Li Yi waved his hand and put away the bowl. Seeing that there was no magic to see, the princes dispersed, and only Tsundere Lolita and Yongning stayed here.

"Why haven't you started yet?" Li Yi turned his head and looked at Li Xuan. It was really boring to sit here. In comparison, the Kyoto city outside must be more lively.

The arrogant loli interrupted: "Father is not feeling well and is resting in the back hall now."

Li Yi sighed. He originally planned to go out with Ruyi to see the lantern festival after finishing here. The lantern festival on the Lantern Festival is far from comparable to the previous ones. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year.

I don't know if the Queen's side is finished, otherwise I can run away in advance. There are so many people, and no one will notice if one or two of them slip away.

As he was thinking this, a strange young man came over from the opposite side, bowed to Li Xuan and said, "Long time no see."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then returned the greeting and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Qi, long time no see."

The arrogant loli looked at the young man and asked in surprise, "Is it Brother Prince of Qi?"

The young man smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Shouning has grown so tall..."

The Prince of Qi talked to the arrogant loli for a few words, and his eyes fell on Li Yi, and asked, "This is Li Yi County Earl Li, right?"

Li Yi stood up and bowed, saying, "Meetings, Your Highness the Prince of Qi."

"You're too polite, County Earl Li." The Prince of Qi smiled He smiled and said, "Although I am not in Kyoto, I have heard of Li Xianbo's deeds. Li Xianbo is worthy of being the leader of the younger generation of my Jing country and a pillar of the country... I wanted to meet him early on, but I had no choice but to meet him today."

As a prince, look at this King Qi, he likes to tell the truth, and he is far better than the hypocritical King Shu. Li Yi smiled and said, "No, no, Your Highness is too kind..."

The King of Qi poured a glass of wine and bowed, saying, "Li Xianbo has made many contributions to my Jing country. I admire him in my heart. This glass of wine is for Li Xianbo!"

After Li Yi was stunned, he could only raise the glass.

Even if the King of Qi is not favored, he is a real prince. Since he came over, many people have looked over.

This time, the King of Shu lost his power and was sent away from Kyoto by His Majesty. He could not come back for the grand court meeting. The biggest beneficiaries are naturally other adult princes.

Among the many adult princes, Your Highness is the one who is more respected in terms of status, position and background.

In such an occasion, in front of everyone, the King of Qi made such a move. Does it have any other meaning?

Could it be that he wanted to win over the favored Li County Earl and get involved in the position of the Eastern Palace?

At this point, no one in the court dared to look down on this young county earl.

All the officials of the Shu King's family immediately raised a few vigilance in their hearts.

After the King of Qi said a few words and toasted a glass of wine, he sat back in his original seat, but Li Yi knew in his heart that he didn't just want to express his endless admiration for him...

Of course, admiration must be admired, and in addition to admiration, there must be the intention of winning him over and helping him fight for the throne...

"The King of Qi wants to win you over." Li Xuan said with a frown.

Li Yi glanced at him. Even a fool could see the King of Qi's thoughts.

"Why does he want to win you over?" Li Xuan had a puzzled expression on his face. "Except for the academy, you have no real power and influence in the court. You are not of much value. Why does he want to win over a worthless person?"

"A worthless person..."

Li Yi smiled and poured a cup of tea, taking a sip.

For some reason, this smile made Li Xuan feel a little chilly. In the brightly lit hall, it seemed as if a cold wind was blowing from the corner.
