Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight: Brother, Brother and Brother Gong
"Haha, the name of Li Shidu is already well-known these days. When I see you today, it turns out that the hero will be a young man. Please give up the gift."
The prince smiled slightly, and his easy-going face made people look a bit like a spring breeze. As he said that, he even stepped forward in person and helped Li Xiuran up.
As expected, just like Lin Yanjiang said, so approachable, the prince is really worthy of being a virtuous person... Is he so popular with the hearts of the people... Li Xiuran said in his heart, and stood up and looked at the prince:
"Your Highness seems to be in a bad state? If you are ill, go back to the palace to rest first. Your health is important."
The prince smiled and said, "It's okay, this is an old problem. I have had a serious illness a few years ago, leaving the root of the disease, and it will recur every once in a while. It's nothing serious. Don't worry Li Shidu."
"I think it's right that Li Shidu said. The emperor is the prince of the Eastern Palace and the crown prince of the country. He must take care of his health. If there are any problems, the national court will be shocked. If he is in good health, it's better to go back and rest, and don't force him."
A sound suddenly came from beside him. A young man wearing a black python robe and embroidered with golden cloud patterns on the edge was surrounded by several eunuchs and walked towards the hall.
He looks much younger than the prince. At most, he has just reached the crown, but he has been pampered since childhood. He has a noble spirit and looks good. He is handsome and has a very beautiful appearance. He is still a young man now.
Although it was said that the prince was asked to take care of himself, there was a sense of ridicule inside and outside.
The prince didn't seem to care. He looked at him without changing his expression and smiled: "Thank you for your concern. I know my body. I don't have to worry about it if I have a minor problem."
Is he the ninth prince? He came up and was sarcastic and was very hostile to the prince. As expected, he was determined to be the crown prince.
The prince didn't care at all and could smile. This kind of scheming didn't look as simple as it seemed... Li Xiuran looked at the two of them and secretly commented in his heart.
"Ninth brother, don't be rude to the emperor."
Another person walked over, wearing a black gold-inlaid python robe like the Ninth Prince. He looked a little older than the Ninth Prince and his temperament was more calm and luxurious. He looked at the Ninth Prince and scolded in a deep voice.
After saying that, he looked at the prince again and changed his voice: "But the father has already hired the prince's tutor to teach the emperor's brother alone. The emperor has not come to Hongjiao Palace for a long time. Today, he is still in good health, but he actually comes.
Could it be that he knew that Shidu Li was coming to Hongjiao Palace to teach today, so he came over and wanted to make friends with Shidu Li?"
Okay, this one is even more ruthless, and he got up and beat the two of them together... Moreover, it is a big taboo for the prince to make friends with court officials privately. He directly labeled the prince such a big hat. It is a bit sinister to use his intentions. This person cannot be the seventh prince, right... Li Xiuran muttered in his heart.
The prince obviously also heard the sinister intentions in his words, curled his smile and said seriously: "Seventh brother is not talking nonsense. A few days ago, Yan Hao colluded with the Heavenly Demon Sect to rebel, raised his troops to surround the palace, and even set up a formation in advance, and the capital was in danger.
It was Li Shidu who broke the formation in time to save the capital from danger. His father praised Li Shidu for being both wise and brave. He was so talented that I really wanted to come to meet him, but it was definitely not for making friends."
The prince denied it. After saying that, he glanced at the seventh prince and said, "The seventh brother has outstanding abilities and has been given an official position by his father. He is busy with official duties and seems to have not been to Hongjiao Palace for a long time. Why did he come today?"
"So that's it. It seems that our brothers want to go together. I came here today, and I also wanted to meet and solve the critical cases, uncover Yan Hao's intention to rebel, and resolve the siege of the palace. Who is Li Shidu, who was praised by his father?"
The seventh prince smiled slightly and easily resolved the prince's rhetorical question.
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiuran and smiled and said, "This is Li Shidu, who is indeed a talented person."
Tsk, it’s really the seventh prince... The three princes who have the most chance to compete for the position of crown prince were all directly, and they even came up with a verbal battle. Has the battle been so intense?
He is so kind to his brothers and brothers... Li Xiuran was so happy when he watched from the side, and bowed and said, "Your Highness the Seventh Prince is too rewarded, and he is worthy of his humble position."
"Haha, with the talent of Li Shitu, you deserve this, so there is no need to be modest." The Seventh Prince laughed.
"snort."
The ninth prince snorted coldly, not knowing whether it was because he was scolded by the seventh prince just now, or if he came first, he let the seventh prince seize the opportunity in a few words and chatted with Li Xiuran first. He was resentful, and his face was obviously a little sunken. He looked at Li Xiuran, and a bright smile appeared on his face, saying:
"I heard that Shidu Li is quite knowledgeable about poetry? I happened to invite a few young talents to hold a poetry party in the mansion in a few days to make friends through literature. If Shidu Li has free time, come together to join in the fun."
Here comes... Li Xiuran's heart was trembling. He heard the desire to win over in his words, and bowed and refused, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love, but Your Highness and your friends are gathered together. If you leave the humble position, you will be afraid that it will disturb Your Highness's elegant pleasure.
In addition to attending the post, Huye also serves as the Chief Guard of the Demon Suppression Department. There may be tasks to be carried out at any time. If you agree to Your Highness now, you will have a task temporarily and cannot go to the appointment. It is really rude. Huye will not disturb you anymore. I hope your Highness will forgive you."
He got Lin Yanjiang's advice before, but he had decided at that time. He would not accept any of the three of them, so he would not get involved in this muddy water.
The prince and the seventh prince both showed a smile on their faces, and they were obviously satisfied with Li Xiuran's rejection of the ninth prince's appeal.
The ninth prince was rejected in person, but he was displeased. However, Li Xiuran used official duties as an excuse, so he couldn't force it anymore.
"It's okay, this time it won't work, so let's wait until next time I have the chance to invite Li Shidu to discuss poetry together."
"If you have free time, you must go there." Li Xiuran responded casually.
"An Ning, are you in good health?" the prince asked with a smile, looking at a beautiful figure walking in front of him.
Is she the Princess An Ning? Li Xiuran turned around and saw a gentle and charming woman wearing a red wide-sleeved skirt with a white tassel tied around her waist and a red cloak on her shoulders. Her skin was as white as snow, like a secluded orchid in the valley. She was walking towards her gently.
At first glance, Li Xiuran was instantly amazed.
In terms of appearance, she is probably comparable to Xiangling, and she has a sense of nobleness that Xiangling does not have, which makes her look even more eye-catching.
Then I suddenly remembered that Lin Fengkai said last time in Tianxiang Pavilion that the princess who Hu Ruikang was given marriage by the emperor seemed to be Princess Anning...
It was really a flower that was put on the cow dung... Li Xiuran felt a little regretful.
