For Li Xu, this is indeed an extremely paradoxical scene.

One is the eldest son of the top nobles in Chang'an, the nephew of today's son, the other is an inconspicuous young man in Yuezhou City, a boy who is as low as the dust. The two should have had no intersection, but now these two people look like old friends.

In fact, as one of the core members of the Crown Prince's Party, Li Xu should have known about Lin Zhao's situation in the Imperial College, but after Lin Jian returned to Beijing, he went to do other things for the East Palace. During this period, he knew nothing about the Imperial College and Lin Zhao.

After the prince was silent for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "How did my cousin meet Brother Lin? It seems that he is still in love."

Qi Xuan then turned his head to look at Li Xu, and bowed slightly and said, "My brother doesn't know anything. I was studying in the Imperial Academy with Sanlang and lived in the same school. After that, I became quite speculative and became a friend. It happened that my mother's birthday, so I invited Sanlang to my house as a guest."

"I almost forgot, cousin, you are also studying in the Imperial Academy."

The prince was not angry when he heard this, and still had a smile on his face.

"Just just now, I saw Brother Lin staggering at the door. I thought he couldn't get into the Princess's Mansion, so I took him in by myself. Now it seems that I am still self-indulgent."

"What's your Highness talking about?"

Lin Zhao quickly said, "Brother Qi only invited me over and did not give me any invitation tokens. I was worried about how to come in below. If it weren't for the prince, I wouldn't know how long I would have to wait at the door."

As soon as Lin Zhao finished speaking, Qi Xuan frowned slightly.

Li Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "It seems that I have done something good."

After saying that, he said to Qi Xuan: "Cousin, my younger brothers and sisters will go to celebrate my aunt's birthday. After seeing my aunt, we brothers will talk carefully."

Qi Xuan nodded immediately: "My brother is here to go, I still want to welcome guests here."

His Royal Highness smiled and nodded, took his three younger brothers and sisters into the inner courtyard. After he walked away, Qi Xuan frowned slightly and looked back at Lin Zhao: "Sanlang, I clearly gave you my waist card. How did you tell my cousin that there was no token?"

Lin Sanlang whispered helplessly: "I was just at the door, and the prince suddenly called me at the door and said he wanted to bring me in. I couldn't help but take him in, so I could only come in with him. Now if I say I have a badge, wouldn't it be a slap in his face?"

"He is my seventh uncle's student, and he still has many opportunities to meet in the future. It is naturally not easy to offend him if he can't offend him."

Qi Xuan also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When this happens, wouldn't the starling look down on Saburo's head?"

It is not the same as having an invitation or not. Lin Zhao has an invitation or a token, so he is naturally a guest of the Princess Danyang's Mansion. However, without a token, Li Xu would feel that Qi Xuan just invited him casually and then Lin Zhao took it as real.

"It's not in the way."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I am not high myself, so it doesn't matter if I look down on others."

When Qi Xuan heard this, he was silent for a long time before sighing: "The young people in Chang'an City are almost always competing for strength and competitiveness, especially those of you, Saburo, who can fight for one or two words, but Saburo, you seem to have no youth's aura at all."

"If I had Brother Qi, your family background, I would definitely be full of strength and look down on Chang'an."

Lin Zhao smiled silently: "But he is not strong enough and his spirit is useless. If he really conflicts with others, he will only lose his head and end up suffering."

Qi Xuan then shook his head and said nothing more.

He stood at the door for about half an hour. When there were no guests at the door, the eldest son of the Princess's Mansion waved to the servants, called the youngest son of the Princess' Mansion to come over to serve, and introduced his brother to Lin Zhao.

Compared to Qi Xuan, his brother is quite strong. Even though he is wearing a brocade robe, he can faintly see his tendon flesh and his skin is a little darker than Qi Xuan.

After introducing the two to know each other, he turned to Lin Zhao and said, "Let's go, Sanlang, I'll take you to celebrate your mother's birthday."

Lin Zhao nodded and followed Qi Xuan, straight to the backyard of the princess's mansion. It was Si Shi Shi. Before Wu, Princess Danyang had not yet gone out to see the guests. When she heard her eldest son asking for a visit outside, the beautiful woman dressed up in front of the bronze mirror tidied up the golden hairpin on her head and slowly spoke: "Let him come in."

Soon, Qi Xuan walked in from outside. After seeing his mother, he bowed respectfully and bowed, "I've seen my mother."

The eldest princess glanced at Qi Xuan and whispered: "Have all the guests arrived?"

"I haven't arrived, but it's almost done. Now it's my second brother to welcome guests at the door."

"Where is this time missing?"

Princess Danyang is about forty years old this year. She is from a royal family and has very good maintenance. She has fair skin and looks like she is in her early thirties. She glanced at her son and said softly: "Your prince brother has not arrived yet. He will come later. When she sees you are not in the front yard, she is a little undecent."

Qi Xuan nodded quickly and said, "I originally wanted to stay until noon, but my friend waited aside for a long time, so it was not easy for him to wait for him. The child took his own initiative and asked him to celebrate his mother's birthday."

"Your friend?"

The eldest princess then raised her spirits, looked at Lin Zhao behind Qi Xuan, and smiled and said, "My son has been a little withdrawn since he was a child. There are few friends around him. Now someone can be called a friend by you. It is rare. I wonder which young family it is?"

"When I go back to my mother, I am a classmate in the Imperial College."

As he said that, he turned around and gave Lin Zhao a wink. Then Lin Zhao stepped forward, bowed to the eldest princess, and said respectfully: "Lin Zhao, Yuezhou, I have met the eldest princess. I wish the eldest princess to remain young and beauties forever."

"Lin...Zhao."

The eldest princess nodded and smiled, "My son has been young since he was a child. I have never heard of any good friends. It is also a fate that you can meet my son. You raise your head and let me see what you are born."

Then Lin Zhao stood up carefully and looked up at the eldest princess.

After seeing Lin Zhao's appearance, Princess Danyang's face, which was originally smiling, froze for a moment. She frowned slightly, looked at it carefully a few times, and then asked slowly: "Your name is Lin Zhao?"

"Student Lin Zhao."

"Bird of Yuezhou?"

Lin Zhao was a little confused and could only reply with a tough bullet: "A native of Yuezhou has grown up in Yuezhou since he was a child and only arrived in Chang'an City this month."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said softly: "He is a handsome young man. Since he is my son's friend, he will get along well in the future and help each other."

"See the order."

As he said that, Lin Zhao took out a wooden box from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said, "This is a gift from the younger generation to the eldest princess."

Princess Danyang nodded and waved her hand to her servants and said, "Please accept it."

Soon a servant put away the wooden box. Qi Xuan and Lin Zhao said a few more auspicious words and then left the side hall together.

After Qi Xuan and Lin Zhao left, Princess Danyang, who was thinking about something, sat back in front of her bronze mirror, thinking about something.

"It's like her..."
