Chapter 889: Crown Prince Xun Yunliang

This is not unusual. After every Qijue Sect competition, the Queen will host a banquet for all the mountain masters and disciples of the three Qijue Sects.

They said they were attending a banquet to celebrate, but actually the emperor wanted to test the quality of this batch of Qijuemen students.

Therefore, during the banquet, the emperor would give questions and tests, which was called a lively atmosphere.

What about couplets, impromptu ink-writing, impromptu poetry, painting, playing piano skills, and even alchemy, in short, there are all kinds of tricks.

For students who failed to achieve good results in the competition, this is a good opportunity to show their abilities. As long as they show their faces in front of His Majesty and make a good impression on him, why worry about not being reused in the future?

After hearing the news, all the disciples of Qijue Sect became excited, their blood boiled with excitement, and they wished that the banquet would start earlier.

Yu Yinian discussed with the head of the military family and others and decided to go back to the Imperial City Mansion to rest for a while. After all, there were still two hours before the banquet started, so there was plenty of time.

Moreover, when You Jing enters the palace, someone will be sent to notify him.

Li Guanhai was about to leave with Yu Yinian and others when a soft female voice suddenly came: "Mr. Zhao."

The group looked back and saw that the person who came was no stranger. It was Ji Xiang who took out the antidote and cured the poison of Li Guanhai's Hua Gong Powder.

Li Guanhai subconsciously licked his dry lower lip. This small action almost stopped Ji Xiang from hitting someone.

She took a deep breath, walked forward with graceful steps, and said with a smile: "The black energy of the Young Master's Lingtai has disappeared. It seems that the poison in the body has been completely resolved."

She spoke softly. If I could describe her in one word, it would be "soft", which was very pleasant to the ear.

Li Guanhai narrowed his eyes and immediately showed a look of surprise: "Oh, it turns out that the girl who gave me the antidote is you." He cupped his fists and saluted: "Thank you very much, girl, for giving me the antidote."

Seeing his attitude, Ji Xiang felt satisfied and said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, Master."

Li Guanhai smiled and said: "The antidote given by the girl is really magical. I stretched out my tongue and licked it in a daze. It was hot, sweet, and had a fragrance. It was really magical."

this...

Yu Yinian and others looked at each other with strange expressions.

The great beauty Ji Xiang was petrified on the spot and almost lost her breath.

The corners of her beautiful eyes twitched, she tried her best to control her emotions, maintained a friendly expression, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Zhao is really... funny and humorous."

"Haha, right, everyone said that." Li Guanhai accepted her compliment shamelessly.

Ji Xiang took two deep breaths, her heavy chest rising and falling, and she said softly: "Mr. Zhao, my young master wants to see you. I wonder if I can give you a favor?"

Before Li Guanhai spoke, Yu Yinian, who was behind him, said: "Go, let's go back to the imperial city first. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a disciple of the Qijue Sect. He will definitely come to the palace for the banquet later. If possible, you can follow the Crown Prince. Your Highness, please come to the palace together."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Li Guanhai looked at Ji Xiang, "Girl, please lead the way."

Ji Xiang nodded, made an invitation gesture, and led the way.

Li Guanhai followed behind, looking at her swaying back and the plump and white fragrant back looming behind the gauze clothes. He thought to himself that this woman is really charming. She is a rare beauty with a dignified temperament. .

It was this dignity that made Li Guanhai want to tease her and deliberately make her angry.

After leaving the martial arts arena, a carriage was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Zhao, please."

Li Guanhai boarded the luxurious carriage and opened the curtain. Sitting in the spacious carriage was an acquaintance, Bai Mu, the eldest son of Prince Bai.

He took the initiative to cup his hands and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, congratulations."

After Li Guanhai sat down, Ji Xiang also bent down and entered the carriage, sat at the low table and started making tea.

"Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince's antidote, otherwise I would have died."

Bai Mu waved his hand: "It's just an antidote, so it's not worth mentioning. It's worth it to be able to save such a talented young man like Mr. Zhao."

Li Guanhai smiled and did not answer.

Now it seems that the prince of Prince Bai's mansion wants to recruit him to be used by his Bai family in the future.

This is not surprising. As the prince, of course he has to worry about how to manage the power of Prince Bai's palace and attract talents.

While the two were talking, Ji Xiang had already made tea and handed it to Bai Mu and Li Guanhai respectively.

Bai Mu asked: "Master Zhao is a disciple of Confucianism. I don't know what his future plans are. Do you want to enter the Academy, the Imperial College, or the Three Provinces and Six Ministries?"

Li Guanhai shook his head and expressed that he was not interested in these places.

Bai Mu raised his eyebrows: "Then where is Mr. Zhao's ambition?"

Li Guanhai straightened his expression, straightened his back, and said resolutely: "Of course I will join the army to resist foreign aggression for the Wu Dynasty, and the suffering people will have a bright and clear sky. A man can conquer the world with a three-foot sword in his hand. I can't stay in this prosperous and peaceful place. I’m used to it, but the yellow sand on the border is more suitable for me.”

Hearing this, not only Bai Mu's eyes lit up, but even Ji Xiang, who had a grudge against him, stopped what he was doing and looked up at him in surprise.

Although this guy is despicable and despicable, he still has the ambition and heroic spirit of a man. It would be great if he could get rid of his lustful habits.

"Good, good, good!" Bai Mu said three good words in a row, and patted his shoulder: "Brother Zhao is really ambitious. To be honest, I am tired of staying in the capital. I have long wanted to go to the north to take over some military power from my grandfather. Brother Zhao has such a lofty ambition. Why don't you come to the north to find me after you leave the army? You and I can realize our ambitions together, how about it!"

He said this with sincerity and emotion, and it didn't seem fake. He also changed his address from Mr. Zhao to Brother Zhao.

At this time, Li Guanhai certainly wouldn't refuse him, but showed an excited expression and nodded heavily: "Okay, it's a deal!"

The two chatted all the way and had a good time. The carriage soon drove into the imperial city and stopped outside the palace.

In fact, even if the old prince Bai was a king of a different surname, he still had to report to enter the palace, but the emperor had given the Bai Palace a token. With this token, he could enter the palace directly without passing on the message or asking for permission.

Of course, the forbidden area of ​​the palace was not accessible.

The three of them walked into the palace and headed straight to the East Palace.

Bai Mu said he would introduce him to the crown prince. Li Guanhai had already met the second prince, but he had not seen what the future emperor of the Dawu Dynasty looked like.

The three of them soon arrived at the East Palace. After the eunuch passed the message, he took the three of them to a small hall.

Crown Prince Xun Yunliang had not arrived yet, but the palace maids had already started to bring tea, fruits and cakes.

Neither Bai Mu, who was sitting, nor Ji Xiang, who was standing, ate. Li Guanhai was not shy at all. He took it and ate it. He ate it boldly, which attracted the attention of the palace maids standing on both sides. They were a little curious.

Looking at the pretense and temperament of this young man, and he can still follow the prince, his identity must be extraordinary.

It stands to reason that people with such an identity, even if they have a bad temper, should restrain themselves in such occasions. But this person is a surprise. He should eat and drink. Doesn't he know that the person he is about to meet is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
