Chapter 62 This world is really big [Added update for the simplest boss]
Xu Qingxiao didn't know who Prince Yongping was.
But Xu Qingxiao, the prince of Yongping County, knew who it was.
Prince Yongping's father was from the same lineage as Emperor Wu. If there had not been the shame of Jingcheng, there was a high probability that Prince Yongping's father would have become the emperor.
It's a pity that after the disgrace of Jingcheng, the Wei Dynasty no longer needed a Wenjing emperor, but a martial emperor.
Therefore, the father of the county prince lost his supreme throne.
As for why this prince could endure it, it is always a mystery. Maybe he has an open mind.
But when it comes to the princess, the first thing Xu Qingxiao thinks of is not the crown prince, but the princess.
The person who had a dream yesterday seemed to call himself the princess, right?
"Is the princess here?"
After thinking for a while, Xu Qingxiao asked first.
"Princess Yongping? You should be here. These two came to Nanyu Mansion a few days ago for an outing. They happened to pass by. Now that they know Brother Qingxiao's name, they want to meet him."
"Brother Qingxiao, Prince Yongping is as gentle as jade, and he is also a scholar. In addition, his royal status will be helpful to brother Qingxiao in the future. Brother Yu thinks that we can meet him."
Li Xin didn't understand what Xu Qingxiao meant, and his answer was rather rigid.
"What does Princess Yongping look like?"
Xu Qingxiao asked.
"Well, the beauty of the princess must be stunning. After all, Prince Yongping will definitely not look for ordinary women."
Li Xin was a little embarrassed. He had never met Princess Yongping, and he didn't know if she looked good or not.
But if you think about it from another person's perspective, if you were a county king, you would be surrounded by beautiful women, and the children you would give birth to would certainly not be ugly.
Whether it's beautiful or not is another matter. Anyway, I can't say it's not good-looking.
Li Xin's answer made Xu Qingxiao feel a little helpless. It is true that the descendants of the royal family are definitely not bad in appearance. No matter how bad the first generation fund is, it will be passed down from generation to generation.
How bad can it be?
"Brother Qingxiao, shall we meet or not?"
Li Xin asked.
"See you."
Xu Qingxiao replied, Prince Yongping is the eldest son of a county prince. If he doesn't see him, won't he cause trouble for no reason?
"Okay, Prince Yongping has already reserved a private room at Wangyue Tower, let's go together."
Li Xin smiled.
In fact, he had known for a long time that Prince Yongping was coming. He had said that he would come to his banquet, but he still didn't come. He knew the reason well in his mind. He just took the polite words from others seriously.
But now that Prince Yongping takes the initiative to invite Xu Qingxiao, his status is different.
"Brother Qingxiao, Brother Li, you two go. I won't go to see Prince Yongping. Some friends are still waiting for me. I'm going to Wenxuan Tower."
Wang Ru on the side said, it's not that he really didn't want to meet Prince Yongping. After being a dignified prince, any relationship would be a good thing for him.
But Wang Ru understood better that they just invited Xu Qingxiao, and maybe Li Xin just dropped by.
Pulling it up again, it feels a bit hard.
It's better to go to Wenxuan Tower to be cool and unrestrained, which is both comfortable and fun.
"Okay, brother Wang Ru, I will go find you after the banquet."
Li Xin said, everyone understands each other, so just be polite.
Xu Qingxiao nodded and followed Li Xin without saying anything.
The three of them parted ways.
This is the difference in status.
As your status continues to rise, the circles you enter will gradually change.
Half a month ago, I wanted to integrate into Wang Ru's circle, Wang Ru wanted to integrate into Li Xin's circle, and Li Xin wanted to integrate into Prince Yongping's circle.
Half a month later, Crown Prince Yongping took the initiative to invite him.
Xu Qingxiao felt that what Wang Ru did was pretty good, at least he had to forcefully blend in, but he felt uncomfortable all over. If he were Wang Ru, he would have made the same choice.
Not so much emotion.
Xu Qingxiao followed Li Xin on foot.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Came to a restaurant.
Wangyue Tower is a famous restaurant in Nanyu Prefecture. There is a moon-like jade stone standing on the top of the restaurant. Whenever night falls, the jade will emit a faint silver light, so it is called Wangyue Tower.
Walking into Wangyue Tower, the waiter immediately greeted him warmly, especially after seeing Li Xin, he seemed extremely flattering.
Li Xin had nothing to say, so he casually threw a piece of silver as a reward, and after telling the name of the private room, the waiter led the two of them upstairs with enthusiasm.
Wangyue Tower has four floors in total.
The first and second floors are for ordinary people to eat.
The third floor is the old employer of Wangyue Building.
As for the fourth floor, only some relatively high-status people in Nanyu Mansion can reserve it.
The private room where Prince Yongping lives is on the fourth floor.
Compared with the first and second floors, the fourth floor is very quiet, with sandalwood placed in many places and some women playing the piano, which looks very elegant.
Follow the waiter forward.
Soon we arrived at a private room.
【Jingxin Pavilion】
When you open the door of the elegant room, you will see delicious food, but there are not many dishes, only four.
In the private room, a man wearing light green brocade clothes was sitting, and there was a woman wearing light red clothes standing outside the window, with her back to herself.
The man was in his early twenties, about the same age as himself, with handsome features, elegant and easy-going, noble but elegant at the same time, and he was also surrounded by awe-inspiring righteousness. He was a high-ranking Confucian scholar.
Obviously this is Prince Yongping.
The woman couldn't see her face clearly, she could only look at her back. She had a slim figure, and just her back made people think of her, especially because she looked inexplicably familiar.
Just open the door.
Prince Yongping immediately cast his gaze and landed directly on Xu Qingxiao.
With just one glance, Crown Prince Yongping immediately stood up with a smile on his face.
"This is Xu Qingxiao, Xu Wangu, right? I, Mu Nanping, have met Mr. Xu."
Yongping Crown Prince Mu Nanping was very happy and even a little excited. He came up from his seat and saluted in person.
"Your Majesty, you are polite. Brother Mu is the son of a county prince, so calling Xu Mr. is a bit unbearable."
Xu Qingxiao also immediately returned the gift.
"Wherever I am, I am also a scholar. After reaching the rank, being called a noble son is nothing more than the glory of my father. My husband has been promoted to the eighth rank and has written peerless articles. He is respected by scholars of my generation."
"The word sir means you should be responsible and responsible."
Mu Nanping was particularly excited and seemed to have an inexplicable liking for Xu Qingxiao.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite."
Xu Qingxiao continued to speak, and the other party called her husband, which was indeed a bit harsh.
"No, no."
"Sir, he is only twenty today. He has been in school for less than a month, but he has been promoted to the top grades one after another. He has famous names for thousands of years, and articles for thousands of years after him. With such honor, how can he not deserve the title of sir?"
Mu Nanping insisted.
"Your Majesty, your true words should be serious, your nouns should be accidental, and your articles should be written with your heart in mind. This is God's grace. Xu's talent is average, and he is not worthy of the word sir."
Xu Qingxiao's words were partly polite and partly serious.
There must be some politeness, and Mu Nanping must have some politeness, but the other half is serious.
After all, to be called Mr., you must not only be talented, but more importantly, you must be virtuous and promising.
Similar to how other scholars call themselves sir, Xu Qingxiao just recognized him and knew it was an honorific.
Prince Yongping calls him husband, and if he accepts it as a matter of course, it will be somewhat bad.
"You two, please don't get into a stalemate."
"Since we are all of the same age, let's just call him brother."
Li Xin on the side was trying to smooth things over. Everyone was polite to each other. You just pushed me, and that was pretty much it.
"If Mr. Xu doesn't dislike it, I'll give you a thumbs up from my brother."
Prince Yongping nodded, but he remained extremely humble.
"Your Majesty is slightly younger than me, but I am better than your worthy brother."
Xu Qingxiao also replied.
"Haha, Brother Xu is indeed as gentle as jade, a humble gentleman. Come on, come on, please sit down quickly. Brother Li, you can sit down too."
Crown Prince Yongping is worthy of being a member of the Beijing circle. His conduct and speech are impeccable, making people comfortable without making people feel flattered.
Xu Qingxiao and Li Xin took their seats.
At this moment, Crown Prince Yongping's eyes fell on the woman outside the window.
He frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak.
"Sister, the guests are here, but you are still standing outside the window, showing no etiquette."
Mu Nanping's voice sounded, angrily scolding his sister. At the same time, he immediately changed his face and looked at Xu Qingxiao and Xu Qingxiao.
"You two are really laughing at me. My sister has been doted on by her father since she was a child. She doesn't know etiquette and behaves willfully. If there is anything wrong with her, I hope you will forgive her."
Mu Nanping was really unhappy.
He read the books of saints and regarded Zhusheng as the ultimate ideal of life since childhood.
But there is such a willful sister who doesn't show any etiquette outside, which often makes him almost angry to death.
But there was nothing he could do. His father doted on his sister too much and could not beat or scold him. He did not want to take his sister with him on this trip.
But his sister insisted on following him. Before leaving, Mu Nanping vaguely remembered his father's instructions to keep an eye on his sister no matter what.
So when he came to see Xu Qingxiao, he had to bring him with him.
"Come here when you come. You eat yours and I'll take care of mine."
A pleasant voice sounded.
The tone seemed very casual, and he stood outside the window not knowing what he was looking at.
boom.
The next moment, Mu Nanping was a little angry. He slapped the table. The sound was not very loud, he didn't use any real force, it just made a little noise.
"Mu Nan Ning!"
"If you continue to be so ignorant of etiquette, don't blame Brother Wei for grounding you. Brother Wei will do what he says."
Mu Nanping became a little angry.
It's okay to just mess around on weekdays, but now that Xu Qingxiao is here, you actually don't give your brother any face?
Do you really think I have no temper?
Mu Nanping thought in his mind.
"Disappointment."
The sweet sound sounded again.
At that moment, the slender woman turned around.
Mu Nanning slowly turned around.
Three thousand black hair tied up with wooden hairpins, and the exquisite facial features appeared in the eyes of Xu Qingxiao and Li Xin.
The fairy-like face was deeply imprinted in Li Xin's heart at this moment.
The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Li Xin was stunned. He had never seen such a beautiful person before.
Xu Qingxiao was stunned because the world was so big, oh, no, it was so small.
Munan Ning's beauty is full of a kind of spiritual beauty. When her beautiful eyes flash, she is a little cute and a little smart, but when her hair is tied with a wooden hairpin, she looks slightly different.
This kind of beauty cannot be described.
But just one glance.
It will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
A moment.
The scene became quiet.
However, Mu Nanning's eyes also fell on Xu Qingxiao.

In response to readers' requests, we established a book club group.
617471847.
Qi Qi didn't want to start a group at first, mainly because he was afraid that it wouldn't be able to manage it, and if there were too many people, conflicts would easily arise, and it would be difficult for Qi to help anyone.
But you can create a small group. This group is a reading group.
Give your opinion to July.
Let's discuss it together. If it works well, we'll adopt it in July. If it doesn't work well, forget it.
Improve the quality of books.
So if you just want to drive or chat, you can create a large group later.
Readers who like diving, please go to Daqun in the future.
The small group only talks about books.
I hope readers will understand.
Then this is the ninth update of the additional update. I will finish the tenth update tomorrow and it will be considered as paid off.
Shamelessly, please ask for some recommended monthly tickets~
