After Tang Ji left the Star Guard, he wandered around the inner city and went back to the Ministry of Works for a meeting. Finally, he went to the office. After saying goodbye to the officials of the Ministry of Works, he left directly. However, he met Li Yu at a palace gate and walked out.
When I looked closer, I realized that the corners of his mouth were grinning almost to the base of his ears. I couldn't help but ask, "What makes you smile so exaggeratedly?"
"Hey, don't you know? Both Li Qin and Li Xian were punished by their father. They were grounded for one month and fined for one year. Li Xian was also slapped with a blackboard." Li Yu replied with a smile.
Tang Ji didn't stop and asked as he walked: "What did they do?"
Li Yu raised his head, looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, he explained softly: "Do you think two ministers can mess up the household department? In fact, it was Li Qin and Li Xian who were instigating it behind the scenes. I heard that my father couldn't help but let
They returned the money and fined them 20% more. Alas, it was really unfair for my father. I was slandered before for hiding the dragon robe and was demoted to Huaizhou. They were accused of embezzling money from the treasury even more seriously, but they were only fined.
The salary is banned."
Hearing this, Tang Ji nodded silently. The two vampire sons wanted to empty out the treasury. No wonder the emperor wanted to reorganize the household department. As for why the punishment was unfair... He couldn't help but glanced at Li Yu again and swallowed. Could it be that the emperor
Have you known for a long time that this guy is not your biological child?
After thinking for a while, Tang Ji remembered what Li Yu said at noon, "No one can live." He couldn't help but raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "You're good if I don't chop you!"
"What? I didn't do anything wrong, why did you kill me?" Li Yu felt a little confused and muttered again.
Tang Ji shook his head, did not continue the topic, and asked instead: "What is the banquet going to be like tonight?"
Jiang Ran told him about this banquet a few days ago, but he only remembered that it seemed to be initiated by a certain princess. After hearing that only female relatives could attend, he didn't take it seriously.
Li Yu stretched out and explained: "She is Princess Ling'an. She always likes to get to know ladies and famous scholars. Isn't it because the provincial examination is approaching, so she held a banquet in the mansion and invited many people.
But there is something wrong with her. She likes to mess around with things, and she can be regarded as a famous 'matchmaker' in the city. I didn't take it seriously at first, but when I heard that Sister Yao had taken Sister Jiang with her, I planned to join in the fun.
"
After listening to his words, Tang Ji nodded, and then smiled and said: "You are worried that Song Yao has fallen in love with a certain young and talented scholar!"
"Bah, what am I worried about? I want status, talent, and talent. Don't forget, I was the second placer in the first "His Reading Cup" of Ji Ran Bookstore. How could Sister Yao fall in love with me?
Someone else!" Li Yu crossed his arms over his chest, raised his head arrogantly, and then bumped his shoulder: "I think it's you who should be worried. Sister Jiang is so beautiful, and you and her are not called husband and wife.
, be careful of being abducted."
Seeing that Tang Ji was too lazy to talk to him, Li Yu gave another evil laugh and added: "I asked Sister Yao to inquire two days ago, and I actually learned from Sister Jiang that she was still a virgin. Didn't you sleep with her last time?
?You really can’t do it, right?"
"Who are you saying can't do it?" Tang Ji gritted his teeth and cast an extremely sharp look.
Li Yu quickly closed his mouth and coughed twice: "Don't be impatient. It's really hard to cure. There's no point in being shy..."
But halfway through his words, he found that the other party had already clenched his fists, and quickly accelerated his pace and ran forward. He did not forget to turn around and remind him: "Hey, what are you doing with your words!"
"I'll treat you first." Then Tang Ji quickly chased after him.
The two of them chased each other until they stopped at the gate of the imperial city. They took off their official uniforms one after another, passed the inspection of the imperial guards, and left the palace gate.
Next to the carriage, Li Yu turned sideways and asked, "Should we go back to the palace first, or go directly to the princess's palace?"
"Let's go back to the palace first." Tang Ji still remembered that when he was wandering in the street wearing official uniform, the vendor looked like he had hit a ghost when he saw him. When attending the banquet, it was better not to feel so oppressive.
Li Yu had no objection to this. After the two of them got into the carriage, Cheng Tie drove the carriage slowly towards the street.
...
A little later, there was a hint of afterglow on the horizon.
However, the lights in Princess Ling'an's mansion had been lit in advance, and there was a lot of noise and it seemed extremely lively.
The inner courtyard is extremely luxuriously decorated. The courtyard is filled with tables and chairs. Some tables are equipped with pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and some are filled with fine wine and snacks. Here, three or two handsome young scholars are sitting together to discuss relevant issues about the province.
As for the content of the test, there were two drunken men in rich clothes at the short table over there, holding each other's shoulders and bragging. The hall on the side was also open to people, but the atmosphere was not as good as outside.
At this time, a man in gray clothes quickly walked to the banquet on the side, raised his hand to the plump-looking young man sitting behind the low table, wearing a beige robe and an exquisite jade crown, and said: "Master, come today.
Got a lot of beautiful women.”
Li Chonghan picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, grinning: "I'm tired of playing with the ruined flowers and willows in the brothel every day. I can finally try something new. I hope I won't lose everything!"
"No, young master, I have inquired clearly. Many of the women who came today are from merchant families in the city." The villain replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Chonghan nodded with satisfaction. As long as she was not a woman from an official's family, he could handle it. Certain pictures had already appeared in his mind, and he was slightly hesitant to stop it.
At the same time, in the backyard lobby some distance away from the main courtyard, all the windows on both sides were opened, long white curtains were drawn beside the windows, and many low tables were placed not far from the window sills.
The seats were full of women, they were dressed in different ways, but they were all very beautifully dressed.
There is a longer table at the back, with a long piano placed on it. A pair of dexterous hands are playing on it flexibly. Many women are standing around, patiently listening to the wonderful sound of the piano.
Soon, after the song was played, everyone applauded.
"It sounds good, Miss Jiang is so powerful."
"Wow, if I had this kind of folk art, I would be able to charm thousands of men."
"Forget it, sister Jiang Ran's music is really nice to play, but your music is really deadly!"
"..."
Jiang Ran slowly stood up and gave a salute.
At this moment, a woman in a pink dress rushed in from the door, breathing heavily, and said: "Sisters, I just saw an extremely handsome man outside the door!"
Hearing this, some older women immediately cast their gaze over, and some quickly asked: "What man?"
The woman in the pink skirt was startled: "Well, I didn't have time to ask more, I just know that he was walking with His Highness Prince You. He has a tear mole in the corner of his eye, and his face is fairer and tenderer than mine. Do any of you know him? If there is no marriage,
, I think I should be able to!”
After saying that, she shyly lowered the hand pointing to the corner of her eye.
Then, a voice came from behind the low table on the side: "We know each other, but don't think about it."
