Buyihou Mansion.

early morning.

Li Ziye pretended to be sick as usual, and hid in the house drinking tea and practicing his sword, and did not see any outsiders.

Of course, except for those with higher titles than him.

As an official in the government, the quality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong is still needed.

And, it should be carried forward well.

"Uncle Qinghe? Missing."

"General Wang? Is your official position as high as mine? No? Missing!"

"Zhao, Zhao, I've never heard of it, it's gone!"

"Your Highness? No, see you, please come quickly!"

In the main hall, after Li Ziye had just rejected all the dignitaries who came to visit him, he almost turned away the eldest prince as well.

I can see that this person has a higher title than him and cannot afford to offend him.

Outside the Hou Mansion.

Mu Yuan got off the carriage, followed by a woman with a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a very good temperament. She was the famous oiran in the capital, Yu Qingxuan.

The two of them entered the mansion. In the main hall, Li Ziye stood up and saw the little courtesan behind the eldest prince at a glance, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Come prepared!

"Your Highness."

Li Ziye saw the two people approaching and saluted politely.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite."

Mu Yuan stepped forward to help the person in front of him, and said with a calm expression, "I would like to introduce you to someone, Yu Qingxuan, the most famous oiran in the capital and a master of piano skills."

"I've met the Marquis."

Behind Mu Yuan, Yu Qingxuan stepped forward half a step and saluted respectfully.

"Miss Yu, there is no need to be polite."

Li Ziye stretched out his hand, gave it a little support, and said.

"The Marquis is ill and there is no one who cares about him. I am really worried, so I asked Miss Yu to come to the Marquis's residence to stay for a few days, so that I can play some music for the Marquis to relieve his boredom," Mu Yuan said.

He said with a caring look.

"His Highness's kindness is appreciated, but it's just this."

Li Ziye glanced at Yu Qingxuan in front of him and wondered, "I am a rough man and don't know how to play the piano."

Damn it to his uncle, this grandson actually wanted to use a beauty trick on him.

Does he look like a pervert now?

"Master Marquis, you don't have to be polite."

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "I actually don't know much about piano skills, but that doesn't stop me from being arty. Listening to music every day makes me feel good."

Li Ziye saw the eldest prince's firm attitude in front of him, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then thank you, Your Highness."

"Qingxuan."

When Mu Yuan saw that the Buyi Marquis agreed, he turned to look at Yu Qingxuan who was standing aside and ordered, "Play a piece for the Marquis."

"yes!"

Yu Qingxuan bowed respectfully, then walked into the hall with the piano he carried with him, placed it on the table, and prepared to play.

Li Ziye and Mu Yuan also walked into the main hall and sat down at the tea table.

A servant came over, offered hot tea, and then left.

"bite."

The sound of the piano is like the tinkling of spring water, crisp and sweet.

Li Ziye drank tea and listened to the piano with a smile on his face.

Mu Yuan picked up the tea, and when he saw the smile on his face, he knew it was the right gift.

A newly appointed Marquis of Commoners has no wife or concubines in his house, so how can he resist the temptation of a beautiful woman?

"Master Hou."

After a cup of tea, Mu Yuan spoke softly, "The war in the north is getting more and more serious."

"I also heard about it."

Li Ziye nodded and said, "The central army of the Tantai Tribe and the Baidi Tribe have already reached the heart of our great merchants, and their power is unstoppable."

"The eight tribes in Mobei, the Tantai and Baidi tribes are the most powerful, and their coalition is also the strongest among the three armies."

Mu Yuan said solemnly, "The Martial Kings tried their best to block the other two armies, but they were unable to stop the middle army in Mobei."

"Your Majesty, are you preparing to go north?"

Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

"Well, in ten days." Mu Yuan said solemnly.

Hearing this, Li Ziye looked slightly condensed and said, "I would like to go north with His Highness."

Mu Yuan looked moved and said, "The Buyi Marquis is proficient in the art of war. I, the king, can only ask for help from the Marquis."

"Your Majesty, you are highly praised."

Li Ziye said softly, "It is my honor to serve His Highness."

After three cups of tea, the two continued to talk for a few words, and then Mu Yuan stood up and left.

Because Li Ziye claimed to be ill according to the order, he did not send more.

In front of the mansion, Mu Yuan boarded the carriage, and the old eunuch Zhao Jie came to drive the carriage.

"Your Highness, do you want the chess piece Yu Qingxuan anymore?"

Zhao Jie tightened the reins and asked while driving.

"It's just a change from darkness to light."

In the carriage, Mu Yuan closed his eyes and said calmly, "The chess piece has its own thoughts and is no longer easy to use. It's better to give it away as a favor."

Zhao Jie nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Hou Mansion.

In the main hall, Li Ziye continued to drink tea and listen to the piano without saying a word.

The eldest prince actually revealed the dark side of Yu Qingxuan, which was indeed beyond his expectation.

It seems that the eldest prince is not very satisfied with Yu Qingxuan's recent ability to do things.

Trouble.

In the main hall, the music of the piano was ethereal. If Li Ziye didn't shout to stop, Yu Qingxuan didn't stop. However, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

"alright."

After listening to another song, Li Ziye put down his tea cup and said, "No need to play it again."

"Boom!"

The last sound of the piano echoed, Yu Qingxuan pressed the strings, stood up and bowed.

"Someone is coming!"

Li Ziye said.

"Master Hou."

A boy came over and saluted respectfully.

"Take Miss Yu down to rest."

Li Ziye said calmly.

"yes!"

The servant took the order, looked at the woman in the main hall, and said, "Miss Yu, please!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Yu Qingxuan saluted again, immediately put away his guqin, and walked out. His cold face never showed a smile from beginning to end.

Li Ziye looked at Yu Qingxuan's leaving figure and shook his head helplessly.

The eldest prince brought him a big trouble.

People in the entire capital are now spreading rumors that he not only closed down the Li family's shop, but also poisoned the Li family's legitimate son.
