Dozens of maids and servants were walking among the quiet houses carrying food trays and utensils. They were well-trained and did not make any sound. The only sound in the house could be heard was the rustle of the wind blowing on the treetops. The sharp gaze of the owner of Deshengju

I stared at everyone's movements to make sure there were no problems, then relaxed a little, raised my arms and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

Being able to book the most tranquil and expensive backyard of Deshengju, and allowing the owner of Deshengju to be willing to serve as a servant, you can imagine how distinguished the status of the guests and hosts at today's backyard banquet is.

Because the host of today’s banquet is Her Royal Highness Li Yu, the Fourth Princess of the Tang Dynasty, the guest she is hosting is indeed a distinguished guest, and if nothing else happens, this guest will never have the chance to return to Chang’an City after leaving Chang’an City for the rest of his life.

Chang'an.

Although today is the day when Prince Longqing enters Chang'an, it is also the day when another prince of Yan Kingdom leaves Chang'an.

Prince Chongming, the son of King Yan, and the future King of Yan, is indeed worthy of respect. However, in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Chongming, who is already a hostage, how dare he act like a distinguished guest? He is nothing more than a lost dog.

After all, the prince is considered a prince, right?

The so-called farewell is just an excuse, and there is more of a deterrent in it.

Although there is ten years of friendship involved, there are transactions behind the scenes when it comes to family and country. Once the superficial warmth is torn off, the scene will be very embarrassing.

After all, the two people are naturally hostile.

Today, the princess contracted the back courtyard of Desheng Ju and will practice it here for Prince Chongming.

It coincided with the reunion of the academy's disciples, so an invitation was sent out to introduce the academy's heroes to Prince Chongming. Although the academy's disciples have a distinguished status, except for a small number of students from other countries, most of them also served as officials in the court after graduation. Therefore, they did not dare to offend easily.

Your Royal Highness, the most favored daughter of the King of Tang.

The young talents in the academy can maintain respect for the princess because the princess married into the Golden Court and made an indelible contribution to the security of the Tang Dynasty's frontiers.

But Chongming was just a hostage of Yan State. The Tang State who was captured by General Zhenbei was more like a prisoner than a proton. Therefore, when the young talents of the academy looked at Chongming, their contemptuous eyes made the Crown Prince look very pale.

Ugly.

Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived at the princess's banquet, Prince Longqing would show up uninvited.

There is a kind of person in the world who naturally has a certain kind of charm, even if he is a stubborn young man covered in mud among thousands of people, even if he is an ordinary-looking girl among the devout believers in the dark Kokeshan Mountain, no matter how low-key and silent he is walking among the crowd.

, no matter how many dazzling and impressive figures there are around him, as long as he is in that picture, when you look at it, you will definitely see him at first sight, and then you will never be able to take your eyes away again.

The young man in the crowd is such a person. He is about twenty years old. He is wearing the lifeless Taoist uniform of the Judgment Department of the Xiling Temple. He has an ordinary sword on his waist. His steps are slow and steady, and he follows in silence.

Grand Bachelor Zeng Jing and Priest Mo Li walked into the courtyard and instantly grabbed everyone's attention.

His handsome features are as impeccable as the legend says. Reflecting the faint skylight leaking from the treetops and shaking the lingering catkins, Emperor Longqing appears in people's field of vision like a god.

There was no negative emotion on his face, he was calm, but just like the sound of footsteps with a clear and rigid rhythm, everyone in the room felt his pride, which was so deep in his body that he was too proud to show it.

Proud.

Prince Longqing attracts everyone's attention wherever he goes. He is always the focus of the world. Behind him is Priest Mo Li of the Tianyu Academy.

The priests of the Xiling Temple traveled around the world and were treated with great respect. However, when they entered the Tang Dynasty and entered the city of Chang'an, the officials seemed to be enthusiastic and polite, but in fact most people looked down on these charlatans at all.

Once anger arises, no matter what rhetorical techniques are used to refute the questioning and mocking words, a fist as hard as a stick will be thrown directly at you, beating your own mother even if you don't recognize you.

But after all, they came here for the second floor, so naturally they wouldn’t compete with a bunch of losers in the front yard.

And with Long Qing's pride, if he hadn't come to be his master's disciple, he would never have come to Chang'an to be a hostage. Even if Long Qing wanted to Xiling, he would not agree. After all, Long Qing is still the son of light in Xiling and the second-in-command of the Judgment Department.

Only Ning Que knew that even if he chose Xie Chengyun for the second floor this time, he would not choose Long Qing.

So he was so arrogant that he didn’t even know who he was showing off to.

As for being ignored, luckily Ning Que is used to it, and it’s not the first time he’s been ignored anyway!

Xie Chengyun from the academy took the initiative to argue with Prince Longqing. Xie Chengyun, who was invincible in the academy, was defeated repeatedly.

"Concession."

Prince Longqing ended the debate with his master's words.

Being shocked by a prince of the Yan Kingdom and an enemy from Xiling Juke, Li Yu's delicate eyebrows slowly frowned, thinking of the old men in Tianshu and the young and strong men who had appeared in the surrounding countries in the past few years.

One can't help but feel a faint feeling of powerlessness.

For hundreds of years, the Tang Dynasty's national power was strong and its military might was unparalleled. However, as long as the people in the mountains behind the academy did not take action, it would be extremely difficult to find candidates who could compete with foreign enemies on a personal level. It must be said that this was an extremely difficult situation.

Big regret.

Moreover, the person who stood up for the academy and the Tang Dynasty this time was not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Who doesn’t know that the country of Southern Jin is a vassal state of Xiling.

Since debating is no match, these generals can only find another way - drinking.

Even on the grassland, there is a legend that three bowls of Jiujiang double-distilled spirits in Gushan County are not enough to get rid of the horse, but in the end, no one can pass six bowls from this prince.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty in the courtyard felt that their faces were so dull. Things like gambling, drinking, and fighting were extremely vulgar, but in the end, the prince, who looked like a man in a colorful painting and could not eat the fireworks of the world, got drunk.

This is not only vulgar to the extreme, but also embarrassing to the extreme.

But it was precisely this kind of comparison that gave birth to a real wine "ghost" - Sang Sang.

Prince Longqing did not use his cultivation to relieve the hangover...More than ten bottles of strong liquor finally made the cheeks that were as awe-inspiring and inviolable as a god son loosen up a little, and there was some confusion and confusion in his eyes.

Sang Sang, who was sitting in the corner, only had a slightly redder face, a slightly bulging belly, and eyes that were countless times brighter than usual. Other than that, she was calm as usual and not at all drunk.

Prince Longqing, who has been victorious in many battles, actually lost to a little black girl. If he told this, he would probably be laughed out of his wits!

In order to make this failure in his life disappear forever, Prince Longqing finally acted unreasonably and snatched Ning Que's maid.

Although in the current world at that time, servants and maids were treated as private property and could be disposed of at will.

Under the Haotian, the Tang Dynasty was slightly better. Tang laws strictly prohibited deliberate harm to slaves, but they were not allowed to buy and sell them. Gifting beautiful concubines, smart maids, and maidservants was not uncommon in Chang'an City, and those gifts that occurred among famous people often even

With some legendary and beautiful colors.

So apart from being dissatisfied with the proud tone of robbing the maid, the people present didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The high-ranking big shot in Xiling fell in love with an inconspicuous little maid in Chang'an City because of things like playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, drinking, and shooting. In the upper class, this was elegance. Ning Queruo was willing to give the little maid to Long Qing.

The prince, the prince will naturally receive a very generous reward, and it may be another anecdote in the rumors in the future.

So no one was shocked, no one was surprised, and no one was angry. On the contrary, some people, such as Zhong Dajun, cast a vaguely envious look at Ning Que, secretly thinking that if he could get into the eyes of Prince Longqing by giving away the little maid, who would know in the future?

How much benefit and convenience can we get from it?

But what no one knows is that Sangsang is not only his maid, but also his relative and his life.

Although they were far apart in the private room, Jiuge could still hear the conversation in the courtyard clearly.

This is the benefit of the realm of distance.

However, judging from the book, if it turns into reality, Jiu Ge would not be able to compliment it.

How dare this Long Qing!

As a disciple of Haotian, you come to rob Haotian. I really don’t know how rich you, the son of light, are.

"You look beautiful."

Ning Que suddenly praised Prince Longqing, which surprised the princess and the students in the academy. Did Ning Que choose to compromise?

"I know."

Prince Longqing accepted the praise happily. He was originally the son of light and the favorite of Haotian.

"So don't think about being too beautiful."

Even if everyone in the room thought that Ning Que would refuse to give away his little maid, they thought that he would also adopt some kind of very graceful way of refusal, which is called polite refusal. For example, they are used to using this little maid, and this little maid comes from a vulgar background.

How could it be so easy to get into the elegant hall, but I didn’t expect that he would refuse so simply, directly, rudely and harshly!

"Do you know that you will miss a lot of things?"

Prince Longqing's face darkened. In front of so many people, he was humiliated by an unknown person, and an unknown anger suddenly surged in his heart.

"I have missed a lot of things in my life."

"And those missed things are all regrets in life, and those regrets are all the beauty in my life." Ning Que doesn't ask for much. He comes to the academy just to practice, because he wants to live a better life.<

/p>

This is a world of practitioners. Without cultivation, you will eventually become a mere fool.

Therefore, he needs to improve his cultivation and become a truly strong man as soon as possible.

Long Qing is strong, but he doesn’t want to come to Tang State or to the Academy.

Moreover, I really don’t know where Prince Longqing’s pride comes from.

If he hadn't learned from Jiu Ge that Long Qing would not be selected this time, Ning Que wouldn't have bothered to argue with him!

Seeing Ning Que's indifferent expression, Long Qing felt even more ignored.

Ever since Long Qing became the second-in-command of the Adjudication Division, he has never met someone as ignorant as Ning Que.

When the two of them were having this conversation, it was quiet inside the De Sheng Ju residence. Even the birds outside the rain shelter were too nervous to make a sound. As the conversation progressed, people's faces became more and more exciting.

It's getting weirder and weirder. They never thought that Ning Que, an ordinary academy student, could actually have a conversation with a big shot in the Judgment Department of the Xiling Temple. Not only did the conversation not fall short, but he was sarcastic and tough to the extreme.To be continued...
