you are the minutiae of the world

The Sixth Prince's 15th birthday banquet was extremely lively, but the ones who came were not the children of high-ranking officials and aristocrats. If there were any, most of them were concubines. petty officer.Why is there such a situation?To put it simply, it was just because of Yazi's low status. Everyone knew the reason for setting up this birthday party. It was to find a suitable family for the sixth prince who was about to grow up. Although the sixth prince Zhuo Yu was a prince, he was also Because he is the prince, in the future Xu's family, due to his status as the prince, wants to be the royal family, but how can a decent high official and noble family allow the son to be the mother?Simply let the concubine of the family come, and those low-ranking nobles and officials, in order to climb up to the emperor, naturally try to come here.

The emperor did not come to the banquet this time, the virtuous concubine Du Yi sat in the main seat.Zhuo Yu was sitting next to his father, Du Yi, looking at the crowd of men in the banquet hall, with his hands on his chin, his brows slightly frowned, his small mouth pouted, looking a bit depressed, Du Yi leaned over to see his son, He smiled and said, "What's the matter, Xiaoshou Xing is unhappy?"

"Father," Zhuo Yu sighed lightly, and said, "This birthday party is not interesting, I want to go back and play Cuju with Xiao Dezi and the others."

Du Yi touched his son's head, picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of softly stewed pig's trotters into his bowl, turned away the waiters around him, and then comforted him in a low voice: "Daddy knows why you are upset, yes, Most of the people who came here today came because they didn’t dare to offend your father, and some of them were low-level people who wanted to be relatives of the royal family. You are arrogant, and most of them don’t like it, but Zhuo Yu, you have to understand that this is also good. The nobles in the capital have many rules and high spirits. They look down on Yazi. If you have a crush on someone, you will definitely not be able to be a royal wife... "Du Yi paused as he spoke: "Daddy has been in the palace for so many years, he said he is the most honored son of the Wei Kingdom, and has been favored by the emperor for 16 years, but am I really honorable? Are I really doing well? The empress is not used to the harem, it is not easy to take other people's faults, any lowly son can take me out, and when I get along with the emperor on weekdays, I am cautious in my words and deeds, and I am careful in every way, lest I make a little mistake and make the emperor disgusted Without me, there will be no love at that time. How should I protect you and survive in this man-eating palace? Zhuo Yu, Dad has no other extravagant wishes. He only hopes that you will marry a noble person and treat you wholeheartedly. Yes, if these things are hard to find, then find someone whose family background is not obvious, you marry him as the main wife, with the status of a prince, he will not dare to bully you, so you can live a lifetime in peace."

Zhuo Yu understood Du Yi's good intentions, he smiled at Du Yi comfortingly: "My child knows, Daddy has taken care of my child."

Du Yi was relieved, and his eyes fell on the man in the hall: "Look at Mr. Wang's son, how about the one in dark green clothes? Dad sent someone to inquire about it. Although Mr. Wang's family has fallen, his son is studying. Very hardworking, good looking and gentle personality."

Zhuo Yu followed Du Yi's gaze and saw a bookworm who didn't seem to be clever at all.Seeing that his son was not happy, Du Yi pointed to another person: "What about that? Mr. Zhang's concubine, although he is a concubine, he is considerate. He is eighteen this year, and he has no wives and concubines at home, so he is very clean."

The person Du Yi pointed at looked ordinary and inconspicuous. Zhuo Yu pursed his lips and said nothing. Du Yi looked at him and pointed to a few others. Seeing that he was also tired, Du Yi had no choice but to let him go. Once the birthday party is gone, how can this birthday party continue?It didn't take long for it to dissipate.

It was not too late for Zhuo Yu to leave the banquet, it was still early, he squinted his eyes, sneaked into the room of his personal eunuch Xiao Dezi, took a set of eunuch uniforms, and went out of the palace.

This is not the first time that Zhuo Yu has been out of the palace. He is a son, and it is not his turn to fight for the throne, nor is it his turn to marry in the court. There are emperor's elder brothers who dote on him, and servants who follow his wishes everywhere. He is in the palace. The life in the palace is very chic, as a wealthy and idle person, it is not a big deal to go out of the palace occasionally, and Wang Keyu met when he was out of the palace for the second time, and since then, every time Zhuoyu goes out of the palace, he must to find him.

Wang Keyu is the only son of Prime Minister Wang's family. He is sixteen this year. Prime Minister Wang is a man of great talent. Unfortunately, his wife gave birth at the age of 40, but only gave birth to a second son. Prime Minister Wang had a middle-aged son. The husband and wife love each other deeply, and they don't want to marry more concubines, so they take Wang Keyu seriously. If Zhuo Yu is the most noble unmarried son of Wei, Wang Keyu is the second most noble.

With the love of his parents, Wang Keyu can not only go to school like a man, but also practice martial arts and archery. Moreover, Wang Keyu is very smart, and he has emerged at a young age. He is also well-known in the capital. He can be said to be both civil and military. It's Yazi, if it's a man, someone will inherit Prime Minister Wang's mantle.

Wang Keyu opened a restaurant by himself in the capital, and it was very lively with people coming and going every day, and it was not the first time for Zhuo Yu to come, so the shopkeeper of the inn naturally recognized him, not to mention Zhuo Yu never concealed his eyebrows. The cinnabar mole in the middle is not covered up, and he is wearing clothes made of high-quality fabrics. It is rare to see such a good life in the capital.Seeing him coming in, the shopkeeper quickly greeted him: "A distinguished guest? The boss is waiting for you in the private room upstairs."

"Where's Brother Keyu?" Zhuo Yu raised his eyebrows, and without waiting for the shopkeeper's answer, he went upstairs by himself.He walked around the corridor of the inn familiarly, walked to the innermost private room, opened the door and entered, and saw a noble young man in a light green bamboo gown and a white jade crown kneeling at the table, playing with his hand. A jade wine cup, he lied to this side, his gaze fell out of the window, he turned his head when he heard the sound of the door being pushed, his sword eyebrows were drawn into his temples, his thin lips smiled slightly, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows was bright red.

"Zhuo Yu, come quickly," Wang Keyu saw Zhuo Yu, with a deeper smile on his lips, and waved to him.According to etiquette, Wang Keyu should call Zhuo Yu His Highness the Sixth Highness, but Zhuo Yu didn't like these titles, after the two got acquainted, Zhuo Yu privately called him Brother, he just called Zhuo Yu by his name, which was quite comfortable.

Zhuo Yu knelt and sat opposite Wang Keyu, and the waiter hurriedly set a set of tableware and brought some warm food. Zhuo Yu waited for the waiter to leave, and then said: "Today is my birthday , I thought brother Keyu would go to my birthday party."

How could Wang Keyu fail to hear the grievance in Zhuo Yu's words, he stretched out his hand to pour a glass of wine for Zhuo Yu, and said slowly: "Look at your birthday party and you are going to sneak out of the palace, it's not interesting to come to that Lao Shizi banquet, if I go, I'm afraid I can't get away now, besides," Wang Keyu joked, "That's a banquet organized by Her Royal Highness Xianfei to choose a son-in-law for you, what's the point of me going?"

"Why don't you go, you and I are both Yazi, brother Keyu can choose one by the way," Zhuo Yu laughed out loud while talking: "Forget it, forget it, it's better not to go, those people Young master, I don’t look down on anyone, not to mention that they are not from a rich family, even ordinary people, they should be able to handle them, one by one, they are either nerds or passers-by, not to mention talent, but character I don't know what it is," Zhuo Yu said, taking a sip of wine depressedly, "I don't know what father and father are thinking, after a long time, they just searched for these things for me."

Wang Keyu laughed, and said openly: "The thing you are talking about is a good marriage that you can't even ask for. Speaking of which, the princes who went to the banquet are really not as bad as you said, but you were born in the palace since childhood. , the four imperial brothers are all literary and martial arts, handsome talents, how can you look up to those ordinary people when you get along with them all the time? It is not difficult to guess what Her Royal Highness Xianfei is thinking. You have to be as unrestrained as you are now, you have to marry, even if it is Yazi, your husband's family can easily touch you."

Zhuo Yu nodded, and agreed with Wang Keyu's words: "How can I not understand the truth that you can figure out? It's just that if I have to marry someone so wronged, I might as well stay in the palace. Isn't it better than getting married?" You are comfortable? After all, Yazi’s status is low, even if I am a prince, I can’t even choose someone I like. I really don’t like those princes. Brother Keyu, how about you? What kind of person are you looking for? ?”

"Me?" Wang Keyu leaned back, put her hands on her cheeks, thought for a moment, and said, "Why do you have to marry? Could it be that Yazi only has to marry?" As he spoke, he tapped his fingers, slowly Continued: "Paper, I don't think I can lose to any man of my generation. In terms of martial arts, although I can't get the champion of martial arts, I can still be regarded as first-class. There are many noble families in the capital who are not as good as me. Why am I biased?" Are you going to get married?"

After Zhuo Yu listened carefully, he was overwhelmed by Wang Keyu's momentum, his eyes were full of envy and excitement, he knelt up and slapped the table, and said loudly: "Well said! Brother Keyu, what you said is really good, we Yazi It’s not that they are born stupid, so why can’t they be compared to men? It’s because the people in this world are stupid, and they must say that we are unlucky, but they don’t know how many inferiors are much stronger than them, I think we must have such courage!”

Wang Keyu looked at him with a smile, lowered his head, changed the topic, and said, "It's not enough to just talk and not do it."

Zhuo Yu was puzzled: "?"

Wang Keyu smiled mysteriously, took a brocade box from the table and handed it to Zhuo Yu, saying, "This is your birthday present."

"Brother Keyu, can you still take it with you?" Zhuo Yu happily took it, and was about to open it, but was stopped by Wang Keyu: "I guess you are going to sneak out today, so you took it with you. There are two copies here." Birthday gift, even next year I will prepare it for you, you can open it when you go back."

"Next year?" Monk Zhuo Yuzhang was puzzled, "What are you doing for me now for next year's birthday?"

"I gave it in advance," Wang Keyu said seriously, "I will probably not be in the capital next year."
