Chapter 77 Prince
Liu Mingqi is really not about making a show.
He came today to make friends with Du Lifeng. If it weren't for Du Lifeng's timidity, he would have wanted to become sworn brothers with this little black man.
In the eyes of the young man, if he is a brother, he will naturally be as careful as his own to find Jin Gua.
In this way, his greatest goal was achieved.
After all, he is also a modern person. Liu Mingqi also understands what it means to be too much, and he does not show much enthusiasm. He just eats fruits and vegetables with Du Lifeng and chats casually.
Next to Du Lifeng, there were little princes like him. When he heard others talk about it, this was the prince of the Dakang Dynasty and the little prince, he immediately became respectful.
Seeing Liu Mingqi and Du Lifeng having a great time chatting, they were very envious.
Those who were more courageous joined in.
Liu Mingqi didn't meet them, and chatted casually, listening to them telling interesting things about their respective countries, and laughing from time to time.
It was not until the official that the officials next to him urged Liu Mingqi to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony quickly, and the young man patted Du Lifeng on the shoulder and left.
When he walked away and looked back, he found that many people were talking around Du Lifeng. Little Heiwa was a little nervous, but obviously excited and happy.
This should be the first time he has received such attention and sought after!
The boy felt a little proud. When he stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he ran into a tall man with a clear and righteous aura.
The man was about thirty years old, and although he was wearing casual clothes, he revealed a hint of majesty.
"I am the general of Jinwu Guard, Fang Kaiyue, I have met His Highness Prince Yu!" He picked up his fists and saluted.
Liu Mingqi smiled unconsciously and bowed back, "It turns out that it is General Fang, I feel respectful!"
"I came here to disturb Your Highness in fact, I came for that naughty child." Fang Kaiyue and Liu Mingqi didn't hide their words, and said straight: "He has troubled you during this period."
"No trouble, no trouble." Liu Mingqi shook her hand and smiled, "It's also very worry-free for me to accept such a disciple... By the way, where is the little fat man?"
Fang Kaiyue's face thrust, "He is still busy in the palace behind him and has to wait until he gets to the table. He almost missed the birthday party yesterday."
"I said, why didn't I see him yesterday?"
Liu Mingqi was talking, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
I treat the fat man as a laborer and I am busy all day long, and it seems a bit unkind enough.
Fang Kaiyue didn't care, "The reason was already told to me. I left such a big thing to him. I was both happy and worried, afraid that what if he couldn't finish it."
"Is the fat guy the same age as me?" Liu Mingqi thought for a while and said seriously, "He is actually a very capable person. Now that he has such an opportunity to display his talents, General Fang should be happy. Even if there is something wrong, it doesn't matter. Who was wrong when he was young? Failure is the mother of success!"
"Failure is the mother of success..."
Fang Kaiyue chewed this sentence in his mouth and said slowly: "I feel relieved with your highness's attitude. If you have any naughty and disobedient things in the future, please ask your highness to discipline more without any concern! Be a teacher for one day and be a father for life!"
As he said that, he bowed again and left, without saying anything that Liu Mingqi wanted to be polite.
Lao Fang, you are so polite!
I didn’t expect that you would admit my little fat man’s master-apprentice relationship so easily, so the seniority between us is a bit difficult to clean up.
...
Liu Mingqi leisurely headed towards her seat. As soon as she was about to arrive, another person rushed out next to her.
When I calmed down, it was my old acquaintance, Duke Lu Guominghua.
Liu Minghua looked at him with a smile and suddenly raised his voice: "Your Highness Prince Yu is so talented! The previous song "About Wine" really shocked the entire capital, and made countless literati and students bow their backs. I admire Minghua!"
"Duke Lu, you are too polite." Liu Mingqi also responded politely, "It's just for poetry and entertainment, and it's nothing to do."
He is not stupid. He must not be able to conflict with Liu Minghua at this birthday party of the empress dowager.
If you want to hit him, you have to talk about it privately.
Liu Mingjing was standing not far away and chatting with his friends. Seeing this, he stepped over and scolded, "Minghua, what day is today? Go back quickly and be more disciplined!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Minghua was here to find trouble today.
Liu Mingqi is the one who beat him, isn’t it?
If Liu Mingjing hadn't beaten his followers to the point where he could not get up, could Liu Mingqi and Liu Zhiyu, the shrimp soldiers and generals, hurt him?
In other words, Liu Mingqi has been much more popular recently, which has made Liu Minghua jealously add all the hatred to him first, otherwise he would have to take revenge on Liu Mingjing.
So he not only did not listen to the advice, but instead laughed: "Everyone, Prince Yu's poetry is the best in the world. It happened to be that the Empress Dowager's birthday party. How about we ask him to write a poem for the Empress Dowager?"
Someone else applauded and cheered, but not many people were there.
After all, more people are smart and know that Duke Lu and Prince Yu are a pair of mortal enemies, so don’t get involved easily.
However, after Liu Minghua said this, the matter spread and many people immediately looked at Liu Mingqi.
Liu Mingqi is a poetic talent. Now on the birthday of the Queen Mother, isn’t it very appropriate for him to write a poem?
Feeling the scrutiny gazes around him, Liu Minghua stood here, feeling very proud.
He is not a fool either.
Why didn’t I force Liu Mingqi to write a poem last night?
Last night was the birthday of the serious empress dowager. If he had trouble with it and disrupted the atmosphere, the emperor would not be able to spare him first.
Today is different. The next day has passed. It is not a big deal to make Liu Mingqi look ugly, and the emperor will not care about it.
Liu Mingqi also had a headache.
Of course, he could also reject Liu Minghua's unreasonable acts, but the problem is that on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, you could write poems, but now you don't even want to do it after being named. What does this mean?
Grandma the emperor would definitely not be unhappy, but the emperor would feel that this child was ignorant.
All the ministers will also have a bad impression of Liu Mingqi, which will spread to the people... Then you may be able to tell how Liu Minghua arranges himself.
But there was almost never a single poem dedicated to blessing the Queen Mother in the birthday poem he knew.
"The eighty-year-old mother is not a human being, but the Queen Mother Star in the sky. All the children and grandchildren are thieves, and they have stolen fairy peaches to serve their parents."
This couplet is often used by time travelers to women with noble identities, but the vulgarity in the literary talent and sentences are just a smile, and it is an embarrassing smile.
Just based on the first sentence, even if you know that the latter is good, who will still laugh?
The emperor's board will definitely find an opportunity to fall behind in a few days.
Just as I was worried, a gentle voice suddenly came from beside me: "What are you doing when you are standing here? Hurry up and take your seat... Minghua, go back to your position... Mingqi, so are you!"
The person who speaks is very young, slightly fat but not outstanding. Anyone who sees him bows and salutes.
Even bad embryos like Liu Minghua are like this.
There is no reason.
This is the second son of the current emperor, and the crown prince Mingyu.
With him coming forward, the onlookers quickly turned around, and Liu Minghua didn't dare to yell anymore.
Seeing this, Liu Mingjing also pulled Liu Mingqi back.
The boy looked back and saw the prince nodding to him with a smile.
After sitting down, Liu Mingjing also smiled and said, "The prince is really the time to come, just embarrass that bastard!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind and can't stand the noise of his brothers." A prince next to him also said.
"But several of his men are not very good." One of the brave men was singing a opposite tune, "All day, under the banner of the prince, compete with merchants for profit. In the canal transportation, salt administration, silk and porcelain, where is there no ugly appearance of them?"
"Yes, yes! Sun Bin is just a bastard! Lin Yao is not a good thing either, he is disgusting to see!"
"And Li Fan, who is gloomy all day long, feels awkward at first glance!"
"These people think they are ministers of the secret residence, and they are causing trouble for the prince under the banner! The prince has to apologize every now and then, and many people are laughing at him!"
"Who said no? But the prince was also soft-hearted. Otherwise, if they were removed early, wouldn't there be nothing left?"
The children of the royal family said one by one, and in a blink of an eye, they became a criticism of the prince's faction.
Such a magical transformation made Liu Mingqi amazed.
The boys have also heard a lot about what they said.
Because the crown prince is the crown prince, if there were no such a huge accident as the former crown prince Minghao, he would definitely be the emperor in the future.
Then a large number of people were surrounded by him, with different quality.
But these people were arranged by the big men in the court, and the prince had no right to refuse.
For example, the person who appeared in the above words, Lin Yao's father was Lin Zhenyuan, the governor of the canal transportation, Li Fan's father was Li Xiutai, the Minister of Rites, and another one was Zhu Zhe, whose father was Zhu Kun, the general of the Leopard Cavalry Guard... and so on.
Then after this group of people gathered together, they often competed for profit with the people under the banner of "building a team for the prince", "laying the foundation for the prince's government affairs", "making a name for the prince", etc., and often looked ugly.
Of course, the "people" mentioned here are not ordinary people, but businessmen.
They will not exploit the people, and the most important thing is to do business, using their own power and convenience to squeeze other people's living space.
So we can know why the princes and princes present were so indignant.
Because it is their benefit that is lost.
However, people from the prince's group dare not do too much, and they are still able to pass the situation on the surface. If there is any conflict, the prince usually comes forward to apologize to others, and provide money to settle the matter.
Therefore, the prince's reputation is very good.
