Because it takes a long time to walk from Beiguan County to the capital, the group of people waited until three o'clock in the morning to set off this time.
As soon as he walked out of the county town, Che Mingde asked: "Brother Li, did you hear the sound of the piano last night?"
"Of course, if someone is playing the piano in the middle of the night, you might not be able to hear it." Li Danian said with a smile.
"Do you know who is playing the piano?" Che Mingde asked.
"I actually asked about it this morning. It seems that he is a person from Tanzhou who came to take the exam. He has some connections here and lives here. As for who played it, I don't know." Li Danian said.
"I also came to Beijing to take the exam, sir. It seems that the girl may also be his maid." Wanxia said from the side.
"Wanxia, why did you see someone?" Li Danian asked with a smile.
"No, sir, I saw a girl dancing with a sword in the yard this morning. I watched her for a long time." The sunset deliberately smelled of jealousy.
Li Danian laughed and said, "Miss Wanxia, don't worry. If your young master doesn't want you, I will want you later. How can such a good girl give up?"
"You know how to talk nonsense." Wanxia glanced at Li Danian who was joking, causing everyone accompanying him to laugh.
Just like this, we continued walking south, and when it was close to evening, we finally arrived at the north gate of the capital.
Perhaps it was the day of the palace examination that was approaching, so the inspections into the city were stricter. Many people were blocked in the door and queued up. Looking at the time, it was almost time to close the city gate, but regardless of the state where Che Mingde was going to take the exam. Regardless of his identity as a child or as a mage from Li Danian's Tianshi Mansion, he didn't need to queue up and went directly to the small door on the other side.
When they arrived at the small door, they saw a carriage running over and stopping in front of them.
Che Mingde didn't care that the carriage was ahead of him. Instead, he was staring at the girl who got off the carriage. Her figure seemed to be that of the woman who danced the sword in the morning.
The woman didn't seem to care about Che Mingde and his group. She walked directly to the guard at the door and showed a sign. After the guard saw it, he quickly let them go.
After watching the carriage leave, Che Mingde, Li Danian and others also walked over to reveal their identities.
When the guard handed back Che Mingde's letter, Che Mingde took the initiative to ask: "Which family's descendant is the one who passed by just now?"
"That's not a young man rushing to take the exam, that's the driver of His Royal Highness Princess Kang." the guard said.
Hearing this, Che Mingde was also stunned, and Li Danian was also a little surprised. After all, this was not what several colleagues said in the morning. However, if the other party did not allow the identity to be revealed, it was not impossible for them to fabricate an identity.
"Sir, is that Princess Kang great?" Wanxia asked.
"Well, she is the wife of His Majesty's younger brother. Do you think her status is noble or not? And I heard that she was one of the most talented women in the capital before she got married. I'm afraid the sound of the piano last night was not played by the girl who danced the sword in the morning. That girl He's about the same age as me, so he shouldn't be able to play that kind of melancholy, but you heard the princess playing the piano." Che Mingde said with a smile.
"Listen to the emperor's younger brother and sister playing the piano." Wanxia was also a little surprised, but if this was really the case, the music was too miserable. It seemed that she would not be happy being a princess, but she did not dare to say these words.
Che Mingde knew the sunset very well, and he knew what she was thinking just by looking at her appearance. He asked with a smile, "Are you thinking that the princess is also suffering?"
"Master, don't talk nonsense." Wanxia warned.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, everyone in the capital knows that this princess originally had her own heart. Unfortunately, the emperor personally granted marriage to his younger brother, and in the end he had to follow King Kang. It is normal to suffer." Che Mingde said.
"Ah! How could your Majesty do such a thing?" Wanxia seemed a little dissatisfied.
Che Mingde smiled and said: "Your brother likes a woman, but he still doesn't want to give up if he can't get her, and this brother is the only person closest to you. What will you do?"
"Your Majesty only has one younger brother? Don't you have many other princes?" Wanxia asked in confusion.
"But there is only one sibling from the same mother, and His Majesty's mother passed away soon after giving birth to King Kang. This younger brother was almost brought up by him. He said he was a younger brother, just like his own son. Think about it again, our child likes a certain This woman is still in love with her to the point of death, what do you think you will do?"
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Hearing Che Mingde's words, Wanxia blushed again, but her heart was so sweet that she even forgot about Princess Kang's distress.
Che Mingde smiled and said: "I'm just telling you that your majesty's original intention was for his younger brother, but for Princess Kang, he lost a lot. Of course, having said that, my sunset has grown a lot, and I know what to say It’s time to say what should and shouldn’t be said.”
"Sir, you're going to make fun of me." Wanxia pouted, but she seemed to be enjoying it.
"You two young couples make me miss my wife." Li Danian also muttered.
"Brother Li has been in the north these years, and it is really hard for his wife to raise the children by herself." Che Mingde knew that Li Danian had been married a long time ago and had a son and a daughter. He was very happy.
"That's right, and I can see them soon. Mingde, if you are free, come to my house. Although your sister-in-law is not a wealthy lady, she is also virtuous and kind, and her craftsmanship is good. Let you try it. Authentic Beijing cuisine." Li Danian said happily.
"Definitely!" Che Mingde agreed.
"In this case, let's separate here. I'm going to report on my work before it gets dark," Li Danian said.
"Okay!" Che Mingde also saluted Li Danian, and then the two parties separated.
"Sir, let's go to the Taiwei's Mansion too."
When I came here before, I agreed that I would stay at Liang Changmao's house when I came to the city. Mr. Liang was not only Che Guangyao's tutor, but also regarded Che Mingde as a junior. Living here not only has a place to stay, And you can also get some news.
It is naturally easy to inquire about Taiwei's Mansion in the capital. Just when it got dark, the two of them also found this place. However, when they first arrived, they found many young people gathered at the door, and they didn't look like they were here to pay homage to the Taiwei. It was a lieutenant, but the concierge also let them in.
When Che Guangyao also walked over, the servant at the door looked at him discerningly and stopped him and asked: "Is this young master also here to attend my Miss Yun's literary party?"
"Although they were stopped for questioning, it did explain why there were so many young people here. But Miss Yun, Che Guangyao, couldn't help but smile bitterly. As early as when he was in Yuan'an County, Liang Changmao had mentioned to him several times that his eldest granddaughter was older than him. He is less than a year younger, and is both talented and beautiful. He has made it clear that he wants to be a matchmaker for his granddaughter, and his father also acquiesces to this matter. Only he really doesn’t want to agree without even meeting him, so to a certain extent, he lives in Taipei. The Wei Mansion may also have this meaning, or even definitely has this meaning.
