"Wow~" The superb equestrian practice she practiced when she was drilling out the Western Regions played a role at this moment. Li You pulled the reins hard, and the horseman stood up, finally avoiding the unexpected guest that suddenly appeared! With the light of the lantern in his entourage's hand, Li You saw a 15 or 16-year-old girl appearing in front of him. Judging from her clothes, she seemed to be a maid from a wealthy family, and was patting her chest in a shocked manner.

"Whose maid are you? Why are you so careless?" Li You frowned slightly. There are not many families in this alley. Could it be that she is the maid of Zhou Xueshi's family?

"I have seen the little master!" Danqing glanced at Li You with a blushing face, then lowered her head and bowed, "I am Zhou Xiao... the maid of the scholar's family."

"Oh? I wonder what's important about Miss Danqing blocking the way?" Li You turned over and got off the horse and walked to Danqing. Looking at her dress, she was obviously not an ordinary maid. Mrs. Zhou used male servants, and the maids around her have been with her since she was a child, and now she is old this year. She is not old and has a low status in the mansion. It is probably the maid of Miss Zhou Nanzhou, right? Li You secretly guessed in her heart.

Li You's gentle tone made Danqing, who had just almost said Miss Zhou's name, calmed down slightly. She calmed down and plucked up the courage to take out an invitation and handed it over with her hands. "Princess Taiping held a fairy fair in the West Garden in three days, and I hope the little lord will go there!"

"Oh? Ya Ji?" Li You took the invitation curiously. The name of Princess Taiping Li Lingyue, he had heard Qian Hua say that the princess was a close branch of the royal family, and her father was the brother of the late emperor. He was deeply favored by the late emperor. Today, he was cousin and sister. The relationship between the two parties has always been good, so her favor increased after the death of the late emperor.

The princess is by nature interested in making friends with young talents from all walks of life. When the emperor was in power, he often recommended young people who were appreciated by her. The famous scholar Wang Mojie was once introduced to the emperor by her for the pipa song "Yu Lun Rou". Later, he won the title of No. 1 in the palace examination.

Princess Taiping likes to hold elegant gatherings, which refer to gatherings where literati and scholars recite poems and discuss knowledge; famous elegant gatherings in Chinese history include the "Jinguyuan Elegant Collection" by Shi Chong of the Western Jin Dynasty, the "Lanting Elegant Collection" by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the "Tengwang Pavilion Elegant Collection" by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the "Tengwang Pavilion Elegant Collection" by Wang Bo in the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the precedent of Wang Mojie, the elegant gatherings held by Princess Taiping have always been a place where young talents from the Great Wei Dynasty are flocking to! Here, there is not only the opportunity to be appreciated by Princess Taiping and pave the way for herself, but also the people participating in the elegant gatherings include male scholars, but also ladies from major wealthy families in the capital. If they can get their favor, it will be worthwhile even if they are not attracted by Princess Taiping.

For these two reasons, the invitations for the elegant gatherings distributed by Princess Taiping have always been highly sought after items in Beijing. It is said that some people are even willing to buy an invitation with a pattern of silver, but even so, not many people are willing to sell them.

"Yes, I hope the little lord will enjoy the glory at that time!" Danqing continued with a blushing face. She was now blushing and bleeding, and she was almost dripping from her face.

"Well, I understand. I will definitely go there in three days!" Li You handed the invitation to Xu Guang. He was not a fool. He had already guessed that the invitation was probably given by Miss Zhou. It is said that she and Princess Taiping are close friends. I think she wanted to take this opportunity to find out her details, right?

Is this an ancient version of a blind date? Li You also wanted to see what kind of person Miss Zhou Nan was in advance, so he agreed neatly.

Danqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news. The task assigned by the lady was considered to be completed, so she saluted again, "It's such a blessing to be a little master! I will say goodbye first, please be careful all the way!" After saying that, without waiting for Li You to respond, she ran to the Zhou Shifu.

He is really a shy little girl! Li You smiled and continued to go back; at this time Xu Guang also rushed forward, "Little Lord, this Princess Taiping is deeply loved by two generations of royal families. If you can get her appreciation in the Yaji, you will definitely have less obstacles to inheriting the title in the future!"

"Well, let's go and have a look!" Li You hadn't figured out how to deal with this matter yet, so he said casually.

After returning to the mansion to wash and go to bed for a rest, Qian Hua came to the mansion to find him again the next morning. When he heard that Li You had received the invitation from Princess Taiping's elegant gathering, Qian Hua couldn't help but show his envious expression, "I heard for a long time that Princess Taiping's elegant gathering is full of beauties. Brother Wenyang encountered such a good thing when he first entered the capital. It really made Brother Yu envious!"

"You can bring two people in this invitation? If Brother Qian has time, you might as well go there with me? But Brother Qian has already married his sister-in-law, so I'm afraid he won't be able to get these beauties?" Li You joked that Qian Hua's wife is a lady from another noble family, Ning Yuanbo family. She is very strict in discipline on weekdays. It may not be easy for him to marry a concubine. What's more, the women who can participate in Princess Taiping are all descendants of famous families, and no one is willing to go to the Qian family to be a child.

"So many thanks for yourselves!" Qian Hua said happily. It seemed that this invitation could be brought in. "Young brother, you don't understand. Even if you can't kiss you, it's good to go and have a look! Hey, Princess Taiping and the lady of the Xueshi Zhou family are close friends. Could it be that my invitation was obtained from Miss Zhou?" Qian Hua finally came back and couldn't help but tease her.

Not to mention how the two brothers discussed, in another mansion in Beijing, some people were talking about the Xiyuan Gathering. Wang Qingren, the son of Wang Weizhen, walked into Yuan Zhang's study with the same invitation. "Brother Feiqing, today I got the invitation from Princess Taiping Gathering! If Brother Feiqing can be present, he will definitely become famous in one fell swoop!"

After these days of getting along, Wang Qingren was impressed by Yuan Zhang's talent. He thought that as long as Yuan Zhang could be present, he would be able to surpass all the heroes.

"A real man has always only gained fame and fortune from the right people. How can he rely on women to be lucky to advance?" Yuan Zhang was unmoved.

"Brother Feiqing! That's not what I said! Five points of the imperial examination are based on ability and five points of fame! If you can get the recommendation of the monarch Taiping, you will be more sure of the top scorer in the current subject! Besides, as long as you have real talent and knowledge, why should you be afraid of rumors? Have you seen someone say bad things about Mr. Wang Mojie?" Wang Qingren quickly advised, "Brother Feiqing is unparalleled, but unfortunately he is short-lived and famous after all. Princess Taiping has a wide range of friendship in Beijing. With her words, she is better than you post to ten families!"
