The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty were open, and the ladies in the boudoir were not only able to go out to the streets generously, the imperial court also encouraged the girls to read more books and cultivate their temperament with their talents, so Qi Xuexuan's pursuit of Gu Jingzhi with great fanfare was not ridiculed by others. On the contrary, all the young talents in Kyoto are jealous to death of this poor boy who makes the prince's daughter look favorably on him.

You must know that Qi Xuexuan is not only the veritable No. [-] beauty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also her talent and knowledge are among the top existences among noble ladies. Among the princes, Miss Qi has many suitors, and even His Royal Highness has also pursued this girl. Beauty, the group of virtuous banquet was her proposal to His Highness, His Highness felt that it would be able to share your worries, and secondly, it would be able to please the beauties.

"Miss Qi." Su Li greeted Qi Xuexuan politely. Although the people of the Zhou Dynasty are open-minded, Qi Xuexuan is a girl who has never left the court. It is always bad to call her by her first name.

Qi Xuexuan didn't mind either, she naturally introduced everything around him for him, whether it was those exquisite and luxurious ornaments of great background or nobles with noble backgrounds, these were the things Qi Xuexuan often came into contact with in her daily life, no matter how ordinary However, to Gu Jingzhi, it was as unattainable as the moon in the sky.

There was malice in Qi Xuexuan's eyes, she just wanted him to feel ashamed and unable to hold his head up in front of the woman he loves!

But Su Li just sat there calmly and self-sustaining the whole time, his eyes radiated a cold and peaceful light like the moonlight, and he didn't feel fascinated by what she said, or embarrassed, and there seemed to be clean water flowing around him. , as if isolated from the world.

Qi Xuexuan was surprised by Su Li's unmoved appearance, but also noticed that she seemed to be showing off deliberately when she was chattering, so she stopped talking.

At this time, a man in golden crown and brocade robe came over, smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Qi Xuexuan, and then he turned his attention to Su Li.

The man's eyes were full of scrutiny, and the aristocratic aura made ordinary people tremble with just one glance, but Su Li just lowered his eyes and saluted him neither humble nor overbearing.

"The grass people have seen the prince."

The man is the current crown prince. In the previous life, it was he who appreciated the original owner and devoted all his efforts to nurturing him, so that the original owner who had nothing could rise to the top. Of course, in this life, Qi Xuexuan would not let the crown prince fall in love with Su Li so easily.

"You are the Jiangbei Gulang whom Miss Qi praised so much in front of me? Don't let me down when the feast of the virtuous people begins."

"The grass people obey."

After finishing speaking, the crown prince and Qi Xuexuan sat in high positions, while Su Li could only sit in the corner of the pavilion according to his status.

He looked up, and there were several very important people at the high position.

One is Xu Huaishan, the concubine son of the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. He has been with the Prince as a companion since he was a child. Although he is a bit arrogant, he is indeed a talented person. No one more talented than him has yet appeared at the banquet.

That's why when he sits here, there are countless people asking him for advice.But he doesn't talk to everyone, he has to see if the background of the other party is worthy of his response and friendship.

Sitting on the seat to his right is a handsome man with the same imposing manner as the prince, and he is the fifth prince of the dynasty, Rong Qi, a man with deep scheming. When Rong Qi was pulled from the horse, it was Gu Jing's efforts to turn the tide that finally sent the prince safely to the throne of God, and executed the fifth prince for treason.

The fifth prince was born by a foot-washing maid in the palace. He came from a humble background, so he was attached to the third prince on the surface and respected the prince very much, but secretly he has been collecting talents. He is a ruthless character who is very good at hiding his inner thoughts.

The fifth prince is inseparable from the third prince on weekdays, he appeared here today to explain...

Su Li looked in the direction, his eyelids were startled, and he saw that person.

He was wearing a crescent-white brocade robe and sat next to the Crown Prince's seat. A medicine stove was lit on the table in front of him, and the faint fragrance of medicine was wafting out.His face was seven points sick, and his complexion was too fair, but even so, it did not affect his unparalleled face, which was as handsome as a god. His pair of lacquered eyes were like stagnant water in a cold pool, plain and beautiful. Looking at everything in front of him without fluctuation, he just sat there, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him, his eyes were indifferent and cold, as if there was nothing in the world that could interest him anymore.

He sat indifferently and didn't say anything, but some people are naturally the focus, even if he does nothing, as long as there is a slight disturbance, it will attract more attention.

Seeing a gust of cold wind blowing through the hall, the third prince Rong Jue put his fist on his lips and coughed, the people around him were immediately concerned, even the prince came over and asked if he wanted to add some clothes to him.

"Thank you for your concern, Prince, it's okay." Rong Jue said lightly.

"What did you say, third brother? You never go out of the mansion. I have repeatedly asked you to comment on this group of virtuous banquets. You came to Linfengtai. If something happens to you, the emperor and the queen You won't spare me lightly." The prince smiled and ordered the maid to add clothes to the third prince, with a look of reliance on him and full of vigilance.

The third prince Rong Jue no longer declined.

A cloak was put on his body, and his expression did not change as his body warmed up immediately. He was not interested in everything in front of him, and his cold eyes seemed to contain a piece of ice that would not melt for thousands of years , until his eyes slipped, and suddenly he met a pair of clear and pure eyes like lotus under the moon.

The young man sitting in the corner looked straight at this side, his eyes seemed to be filled with distress and worry, Rong Jue was taken aback for a moment, he thought he was wrong, when he looked again, the man had already turned his gaze Move away from him with a look of calm as if nothing happened.

Rong Jue frowned, as if a string in his heart had been pulled.

At this time, the fifth prince Rong Qi also came up. He pointed to the young man and said, "Third Brother, that is the famous Jiangbei Gu Jingzhi, but I have also read his articles. It is really not worthy of the name. I think it is Jiangbei Gu Jingzhi." He is in a poor country, and he has never seen a truly talented person, so he boasted about this guy, and he also came to the banquet today, and it seems that there is some excitement to watch."

Rong Jue hummed coldly, then turned his eyes away from the young man, as if he was not interested, but silently remembered the words Gu Jingzhi in his heart.

I was sick in my previous life, but I didn't expect to be sicker in this life.

Su Li sighed, the sick third prince Rong Jue was none other than the hero of this world, and also the other person that the heroine Qi Xuexuan could only wish for in her previous life.

The third prince, Rong Jue, was gifted and brilliant, and his appearance was peerless. Although his mother concubine Guo Guifei was not as noble as the queen, she was also from a family of generals. His father was the powerful General Pingxi who shook the world back then.Rong Jue inherited the bravery and combat skills of the Guo family since he was a child. He joined the army at the age of 12 and made great military exploits.What is even more commendable is that he is also very talented in politics. At the age of seven, he solved a diplomatic problem that caused the emperor to suffer a lot. It can be said that he was a born emperor, but as the saying goes, he is jealous of talents. , was given a cold spell by a local witch doctor, and since then he has suffered from a cold disease, and his physical condition has deteriorated sharply. He died young before he was 24 years old.

To put it bluntly, Qi Xuexuan's view of love is that what you can't get is always in turmoil. She doesn't like so many young talents who like her in Kyoto, but she just likes to challenge those men who ignore her. Gao Jie and indifferent Rong Jue is like this The same is true for the proud Gu Jingzhi.If Rong Jue hadn't belched too early, Qi Xuexuan would not have taken a fancy to Gu Jingzhi.

At this time, Rong Jue was only in his early twenties. He was sitting here, and naturally everyone's eyes followed him. Su Li sat in the corner, keeping a low profile. He thought that no one would notice him when Mingyue was in front of him. But he still underestimated these noble children's prejudice against poor families.

Sitting next to him is the second son of the Grand Master of the Palace, named Fu Tianhao, who only knows how to spend time and money all day long, and doesn't think about making progress. Being able to participate in the banquet of the virtuous people is just to borrow the face of his talented father. At this moment, he is sitting I was already very uncomfortable among these talented people with real talents, but seeing Su Li sitting next to him in civilian clothes but looking calm and composed, I felt even more unbalanced in my heart, so I had the idea of ​​humiliating him, and squeezed him deliberately. The nose said: "Oh, where did the bad smell come from? It made me almost faint. You stewards of Linfengtai, don't you hurry up and drive this shabby guy out?"

He had a loud voice, deliberately drawing everyone's attention.

Those who could come here to participate in the feast of the virtuous people were the sons of the rich and powerful. They were already very dissatisfied with Su Li's appearance. Seeing him being made things difficult at this moment, they even waited to see him disgraced with a spectator attitude.

But what they didn't expect was that instead of showing any embarrassment on Su Li's face, he patted the old clothes on his body generously, and said calmly: "I do have a smell, but it's not bad. but the smell of ink and book paper soaked in the pile of books all day long. Mr. Fu is unrestrained and unrestrained. Some are not used to it."

Su Li was scolding him for being ignorant, his brain was full of sperm, and he didn't even recognize the smell of books and ink. The dignitaries who understood what he said laughed one after another, Fu Tianhao's face flushed red, He immediately turned to the high position for help. Xu Huaishan, who watched people order dishes, and him have been friends since childhood. At this time, he saw that the son of a majestic university scholar was humiliated by a commoner, and his eyebrows were cold. Looking at him, he shouted loudly: "Where did this inferior person come from, how dare he make a noise here! Don't ask someone to drive him out!"

The scene became very silent for a while.

Qi Xuexuan covered her mouth and almost laughed out loud. She brought Gu Jingzhi to this kind of place because she wanted to see this scene. Of course, she couldn't let him be kicked out, otherwise the next meal prepared for him would be nothing It's a waste, but she doesn't mind seeing him being insulted for a while, and when she really wants to chase him away, she can slowly get up and speak for him, or...

But before Qi Xuexuan finished thinking, Su Li's voice sounded again.

"May I ask Mr. Xu, what are you inferior to?" Su Li's eyes were so clear that no one dared to stare at them.

Xu Huaishan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled contemptuously, "You have no family roots, and those of humble origin are naturally inferior, so you should sit under the overpass in the market that belongs to people like you, instead of being dirty here. our eyes."

Su Li smiled brightly, "Oh? Those without aristocratic origins are inferior people? There are so many 'inferior people' in the world, we'd better hide them quickly so as not to pollute your eyes and ears."

Xu Huaishan sneered, "You are a bit self-aware."

Qi Xuexuan felt that something was wrong, before she had time to remind Xu Huaishan, Su Li's voice suddenly turned serious and cold, and he said coldly: "The current emperor once said that the people are water, the king is a boat, and water can carry a boat. You can also overturn the boat, and the king despises the people. So in your Xu Huaishan's eyes, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the Linfeng Terrace here are the "people". Millions of ordinary people are not 'people'!"

Such a big pot was thrown so that Xu Huaishan's eyes stared at him, he faltered and said: "I, I..."

Su Li continued: "Your Majesty is diligent in government and close to the people. The Crown Prince loves the people. As a companion of the Crown Prince, you don't want to petition for the people. Instead, you divide the people into three or six grades and discard them like shoes. What should a wise man say! If your words today reach His Majesty's ears, how do you think His Majesty will treat the Crown Prince? Xu Huaishan, you are so courageous!"

Xu Huaishan's face turned pale instantly, he looked at the prince in fear, knelt down and kowtowed with trembling lips, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I didn't mean that..."

The crown prince supported Xu Huaishan, with a smile on his face, but looked at Su Li with cold eyes, he said to Su Li: "I am not strict in teaching, let Mr. Gu see the joke, Huaishan was just a joke. A momentary slip of the tongue, I hope Mr. Gu will not take it seriously. The reason why I and everyone here are able to occupy high positions is because of the love of the people, and the daily use is also taken from the people and used for the people. Naturally, we should drink water and think of the source, Da Zhou Every citizen should be treated equally, come here and show Mr. Gu some tea."

"The prince is very right." Su Li accepted it as soon as he saw it, and saluted him, and everyone in the pavilion also flattered the prince one after another.

It was only then that Xu Huaishan seemed to wake up from a dream, and the two battlefields returned to their positions, looking at Su Li with hatred in his eyes.

And the other people present looked at Su Li differently, and in just a few breaths, he could completely turn his body against the trend!Xu Huaishan was the prince's companion, and Gu Jingzhi scolded Xu Huaishan for slapping the prince's face, but it was very reasonable. Instead of punishing him, the prince made amends and showed him tea!

I thought he was a country boy who had never seen the world, but who knew it was a hedgehog covered in iron thorns, whoever touched it would see blood!

That's why, no one dared to trouble Su Li anymore, and everyone quickly forgot about it. After all, the next battle was the highlight.
