Jiang Li came to visit today because Chu Ninghan sent an invitation to Jiang Li in her name.

There was no doubt that Jiang Li came to the palace just for her sake.

It is unlikely that Jiang Li would leave early without seeing her!

But now, the banquet is still there, but Chu Ninghan is the only one there.

Jiang Li, who was sitting in the guest seat, had long disappeared.

"gone."

Chu Ninghan drank the wine in the glass and put the jade pendant in his arms.

He looked at Chu Mingzhao, and his frosty face softened a little.

"Why are you here?"

"Father, you are asking even though you already know the answer!"

Chu Mingzhao’s lips were pouted so much that an oil bottle could be hung on them, but she was hindered by the fact that the person in front of her was her father.

She frowned and walked to Chu Ninghan's side.

"Why did the Crown Princess leave so soon?"

He glanced over the banquet, which was the masterpiece of the mansion's chef, but none of the dishes were touched.

Only wine...

This wine is a priceless beauty.

Chu Mingzhao sniffed and drank the Drunken Beauty, which was mellow and not strong at all, but had a strong aftertaste.

This banquet is prepared with great care.

But Jiang Li just touched the wine and left.

Is she very dissatisfied with this banquet?

Or is it that you are having an unpleasant experience with Chu Ninghan?

Chu Mingzhao raised her eyes and stared at Chu Ninghan. Although her cheap father had always been a cold and aloof person and looked handsome, he always had a stern face.

However, she was sure that Chu Ninghan was feeling a little depressed now.

Very unhappy.

Chu Ninghan rarely shows such emotion.

I don’t know what they talked about, but it caused Chu Ninghan to lose control of his emotions.

"After she finished talking about things, she had something important to do, so she left first."

Chu Ninghan stood up and raised his hand to touch the top of Chu Mingzhao's head.

"Let's go back."

Although he invited Jiang Li to Prince Yong's Mansion under the name of Chu Mingzhao, he naturally also planned to let Chu Mingzhao meet Jiang Li, whom he had been thinking about all the time.

But I didn’t expect this result.

Jiang Li was so determined to leave that he couldn't stop her.

Chu Mingzhao made a wasted trip and waited in vain.

Chu Mingzhao's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, and she looked up at Chu Ninghan, who reeked of alcohol.

"Father, what did you say to the Crown Princess? Did she leave in anger?"

As a junior, she shouldn't interfere in matters between her elders.

But Chu Mingzhao couldn't help but wonder in her heart. She felt that something was wrong with today's banquet.

Chu Ninghan's hands froze and he turned and walked out.

It was obvious that he had no intention of answering Chu Mingzhao's question.

But Chu Mingzhao was so smart that she reached out and grabbed Chu Ninghan's sleeve.

He asked directly, "Is it about Jiang Yuanchen?"

Ever since the Liu Qingchi incident, she stood up for Jiang Yuanchen.

Chu Ninghan paid attention to Jiang Yuanchen. He first went directly to the academy and summoned Jiang Yuanchen to the library.

Chu Mingzhao did not hear what he said to Jiang Yuanchen in the library, but it was most likely a warning to Jiang Yuanchen to reduce contact with him.

He also invited Jiang Yuanchen's protector Jiang Li to come, definitely to keep Jiang Yuanchen away from him.

Then what Chu Ninghan most likely told Jiang Li was to let Jiang Yuanchen leave Changping Academy.

This will definitely anger Jiang Li.

No wonder the two of them parted ways unhappily.

"Ah."

Chu Ninghan responded softly, directly answering Chu Mingzhao's doubts.

"He is not suitable to stay in Changping Academy anymore."

Chu Mingzhao's face suddenly turned dark and he let go of Chu Ninghan's sleeve.

"Is it because I helped him?"

She frowned and explained, "In the beginning, I was the one who took the initiative to find him, not him trying to get close to me. Father, Jiang Yuanchen is my friend."

Chu Ninghan didn't say anything, but Chu Mingzhao couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Yuanchen.

"He finally managed to study peacefully. Where will he go after leaving Changping Academy?"

As she spoke, she even felt a little angry, "Father, you can't force him to leave just because you are the Prince of Yong!"

Chu Ninghan uses his power to oppress others to achieve his own selfish desires. How is he different from those powerful people in the capital who act recklessly and oppress Jiang Yuanchen?

Chu Ninghan paused slightly and turned his head to glance at Chu Mingzhao.

"It's not that I let him go, but there are better opportunities in front of him."

He did not explain why he let Jiang Yuanchen leave.

However, it is really shameless to describe the expulsion as an opportunity.

Chu Mingzhao's face was tense. "What better opportunity is there? He is an orphan, without a father or a mother. Being able to study under Master Xu is already the best!"

What chance could surpass the instruction of a famous teacher like Xu Ziyi?

As long as Jiang Yuanchen stays in Changping Academy, with his ability and talent, he will definitely achieve success.

He was on the same starting line as the children of the powerful.

Even if Jiang Yuanchen's background remains unchanged, he will still be able to live a prosperous life in Kyoto.

Changping School is the best starting point for him.

If Jiang Yuanchen left Changping Academy, his learning resources would be cut off, and it would be almost impossible for him to surpass the children of the powerful.

"The General will accept him as his disciple."

Chu Ninghan stopped Chu Mingzhao from arguing with just one sentence. He said softly, "Zhaozhao, Xijiang is his best choice."

"Ah!"

In the Hibiscus Courtyard of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Jiang Yuanchen rubbed his nose and looked at the letter on the table, feeling extremely upset.

Xu Yunjiao had given him this letter several days ago.

The letter made it clear that General Xu Lao, the auxiliary general, wanted to take him in as his apprentice.

No reason was stated.

It’s not what Chu Mingzhao said that he saved her to repay a favor.

It's not that I heard that he was gifted and wanted to take him in as my apprentice.

The page of letter I sent to him contained only a short promise.

As long as he goes to the Western Frontier camp, General Xu will accept him as his apprentice.

No matter how you look at it, this thing doesn't seem right.

He had no relationship with the General's Mansion and had no connections with them.

It is impossible for General Xu to accept him as his disciple out of the blue.

Someone must have asked the General for help.

But it was not easy to get the General Fuguo to agree to take in someone he had never met as his apprentice.

In the hearts of the people, the Great Zhou has two gods who protect the country.

The General's Mansion is one of them.

There are no more than a handful of people in the world who can persuade the old general to assist the country.

Either the emperor or another god of war, Prince Yong's Mansion.

Even the Yongning Marquisate couldn't do it.

The only place he had any connection with was Prince Yong's Palace.

Jiang Yuanchen frowned and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Is this what Prince Yong’s Mansion meant?

Coincidentally, the day he received the letter, King Yong summoned him to the library, using the excuse of checking whether he had been poisoned.

"If it's Prince Yong's Mansion..."

He rubbed his face, "Do you want me to leave Kyoto and avoid Chu Mingzhao?"

Given Chu Ninghan's character, he wouldn't do anything like forcing someone to leave.

So, becoming his disciple is his compensation?

No matter what, becoming a disciple of General Fuguo would be a great benefit to him.

It would also allow him to have his own strength as soon as possible and no longer be protected uselessly by Jiang Li.

Jiang Yuanchen bit his lower lip, his eyes gradually became firm, he picked up the letter and went straight out the door to the East Courtyard.

He has made his decision.
