Li Beifeng didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was already obvious...

He refused!

He rejected the prince's promise and rejected the generous salary of a high-ranking official, and his future was bright.

In the eyes of others, Li Beifeng's behavior was undoubtedly very stupid.

But His Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem surprised. He seemed to have expected Li Beifeng's reaction.

"So, Brother Li...is unwilling?"

Li Beifeng had a look of regret on his face: "I am very grateful for His Highness the Crown Prince's love, but... His Highness the Crown Prince overestimates me."

"Actually, I am not as talented as His Highness the Crown Prince imagined. I am just an unknown little doctor. I am good at treating patients. As for serving as an official and governing the country... I know nothing about this..."

"Brother Li, these words are too modest!"

Zhao Jing shook his head: "Brother Li is talented, that is obvious to all. I have benefited a lot from talking with Brother Li, so Brother Li doesn't have to be so modest..."

"I, Dazhao, have always been cheerful and learned from others' strengths. Any talented person will never bury their talents. Why doesn't Brother Li follow me into the palace so that he can display his ambitions?"

His Royal Highness is the one who knows how to draw pancakes.

However, Li Beifeng was not interested at all.

It’s not that I’m not interested, it’s that I don’t dare!

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but... I am not very capable, and I am used to being idle, so I really have no interest in being an official. If I really become an official, I am afraid that I will become a corrupt official and harm the people. So... for the sake of the people of the world, I will

Your Highness should find another way..."

Enter the court as an official?

This seemingly beautiful condition did not appeal to Li Beifeng at all.

Even a fool can see that His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him is trying to get him to join the gang.

And what is the value of Li Beifeng?

Is it because he is talented, handsome and literary?

None!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a fool. He will not become close friends in life and death just because he drank wine with Li Beifeng twice.

There is only one reason for His Highness to win over him.

Deal with the eldest princess!

Therefore, Li Beifeng refused without thinking.

Only a fool would wade into muddy waters.

Zhao Jing originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Beifeng's firm tone.

A strange look appeared on his face, flashing across his face.

Soon, calm returned again, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Since Brother Li has no such ambition, I won't force it... I won't talk about it today. I am about to leave the county. I don't know when I will see Brother Li next time. Today, you and I will definitely

How about having a nice drink?"

Li Beifeng also laughed: "That's exactly what happened to me!"

The two raised their glasses, looked at each other, and drank it all in one gulp.

All guests are happy!

For a time, the box was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Zhou Qiuning sat aside, her legs slightly bent, her hands wrapped around her legs, and her chin resting on her knees.

Blinking his eyes, a pair of smart eyes wandered around the two people in the room.

She did not drink and did not participate in the conversation between the two.

He just stood aside silently, acting as an invisible bystander.

Watching the two people in the room drinking, chatting, and discussing life.

Their topics ranged from astronomy to geography, the complexity of the world, and even the meaning of life...

The topic was so complicated that even Zhou Qiuning couldn't understand it, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense, and it didn't look like random nonsense.

Do men like to talk about these things when they drink too much?

Zhou Qiuning's eyes fell on Li Beifeng, staring at this man.

She suddenly discovered that as she got to know this guy for a longer time, there seemed to be more and more secrets about this guy.

Why did he know the martial arts leader and the eldest princess at the same time?

Moreover, it seems that both of them have an unusual relationship with this guy...

He is obviously just a small village doctor, why does he attract so much attention?

Moreover... when Zhou Qiuning investigated him, it was clear that this guy had never gone to school or read a book.

But where did all this messy knowledge in his mind come from?

This guy...is really getting more and more interesting.

Zhou Qiuning stared at Li Beifeng, gradually becoming fascinated.

This guy... is indeed pretty good-looking.

She has delicate features, bright eyes and white teeth. She looks like a pretty boy, but there is no trace of femininity in her body.

When you first see him, it's hard to dislike him.

...The face-based world is really annoying.

…

After three rounds of drinking in the room, the two of them looked a little drunk again.

In the haze, Zhao Jing suddenly looked at Li Beifeng, stared at it for a while, and sighed.

"Actually, Gu Zhen is quite envious of Brother Li!"

Li Beifeng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why does Your Highness envy me?"

“I envy Brother Li’s freedom!”

Zhao Jing sighed: "Don't look at Gu, although he is a prince, but Gu, this prince... is hard to describe. He has no freedom at all. From childhood to adulthood, Gu's every word and deed has been monitored. If he commits something or does something,

Anything that goes out of line will be recorded and reported by the officials..."

"I can't do anything I want to do. I can't go anywhere I want to go. So, I envy Brother Li..."

"I envy Brother Li's character, and I also envy Brother Li's freedom and ease of being able to go wherever he wants... If possible, Gu Zhen would like to exchange identities with Brother Li..."

Although Li Beifeng disagreed with these words, he had to admit that what he said did make some sense.

Indeed, he, the prince, may not be as comfortable as he is.

From ancient times to the present, the crown prince has been an extremely high-risk position.

In history, there are many princes who were assassinated, deposed, and died suddenly for no reason.

As a prince, on the one hand, he has to build a good relationship with the civil and military officials, on the other hand, he has to curry favor with his father, and on the other hand, he has to fight to the death with his brothers.

Although Zhao Jing did not have many brothers, none of his brothers were qualified to compete with him for the throne.

But unfortunately... there is also Zhao Ying!

A woman who, although not a man, posed a great threat to his throne.

I have to guard against it!

When he said this, Zhao Jing seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Li Beifeng: "Brother Li, Gu heard... do you know Gu's imperial sister?"

"..."

Li Beifeng's hand that was originally holding the wine shook uneasily.

Coming!

Get to the point.

Show your sword?

Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your Highness...what do you mean?"

"Don't worry, Gu has no ill intentions!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing just waved his hand and said: "Gu knows that Brother Li has always been wary of Gu. He thinks that Gu wants to win over you to deal with Gu's imperial sister, right?"

Li Beifeng's eyes were calm and he said nothing.

"Actually, what you said is right. There are indeed some conflicts between Gu and Sister Huang!"

Zhao Jing sighed: "Sister Huang is too temperamental and has offended many ministers in the court. There have also been some unhappiness between Gu and Sister Huang... However, these are not big things..."
