479. Chapter 479 Dongfanglian is actually a disaster
Ouyang Tao had a quarrel with Ouyang Xiu early this morning because of this matter.
Grandfather and grandson have always gotten along peacefully and rarely quarreled. Even though Ouyang Xiu was unwilling to become an official in the court and Ouyang Tao was very angry, it did not cause any displeasure to the grandson and grandpa.
But today Ouyang Xiu said that if he didn't help persuade the emperor to give him Dongfanglian, he would travel around the world and never come home again.
Ouyang Tao knew that Ouyang Xiu could do whatever he said, so he had no choice but to enter the palace with a shameless face.
"My dear, it's not that I can't fulfill your Xiu'er's feelings, but I've observed that Dongfang Lian is actually a disaster."
Yes, Long Hong admired Dongfang Lian's intelligence, but it was a sin for a woman to be too fond of a man and attract others.
Now not only Long Qijin is seeking to marry Dongfang Lian, but Ouyang Xiu is also interested in her, and... Jing'er.
Early on, Jing'er sent Zhui Feng to deliver a note, saying that Dongfang Lian was his royal doctor and he did not want her to get married before he died, as this would not be conducive to her taking care of his health.
Long Hong thought about it. Long Jingkuang's request was actually his idea.
Because he was concerned about Long Jingkuang, Long Hong never agreed to give Dongfang Lian to Long Qijin. Indeed, if she became the seventh princess, it would be inconvenient to take care of Long Jingkuang.
If she becomes Ouyang Xiu's eldest concubine, it will be inconvenient to take care of Long Jingkuang.
Moreover, Long Hong thought, Long Jingkuang might have some other thoughts about Dongfang Lian, but the child seemed to have no confidence in his own body, so he didn't say it out loud.
Long Hong loves Long Jingkuang the most, so how could he agree to betroth Dongfang Lian to someone else?
In fact, judging from Dongfanglian's "troublesome" style nowadays, Long Hong wishes that this woman would get married early and the dust would settle, so that these outstanding men would not snatch her away and have illusions about her.
But when he thought of Long Jingkuang's body... Long Hong lost his love for Dongfang.
This woman is the only person who can extend Long Jingkuang's life now.
"In fact, I don't like this Miss Six either." Taiwei Ouyang Tao said, "This Miss Six is smart and smart, but women who are too smart are not easy to control. I'm worried about our Xiu'er... Alas, I can't control Xiu'er."
I really like it.”
Ouyang Tao was very unhappy. If possible, he also hoped that Ouyang Xiu would not fall into the gentle land of Eastern Love.
"Just tell him directly, and it will be settled if I don't agree. I have asked him to join the court as an official many times, but he has not agreed. This time, I don't agree either."
Long Hong actually felt a faint sense of revenge. In fact, it was ridiculous to compete with a young junior. Besides, Long Hong really admired Ouyang Xiu's unrivaled resourcefulness.
Ouyang Xiu has no ambition, which is good, but Long Hong is reluctant to part with this talent.
"Your Majesty, Xiu'er said that he will take part in this year's imperial examination."
Ouyang Tao said.
"What?"
Long Hong was startled, "Xiu'er doesn't like being an official? Tell me directly what kind of official he wants to be, even the cabinet..."
"Xiu'er said that he wants to be upright. If he gets the title of No. 1 Scholar, he is willing to join the cabinet and serve His Majesty. If he is not talented, he will never be an official."
Ouyang Tao is very proud of his grandson. Ouyang Xiu's talent is unparalleled in the world. As long as he takes part in the imperial examination, there will be nothing wrong with the Li family's son.
"It's going to rain red. If I didn't know that Aiqing never talks wildly, I would not believe that Xiu'er wants to take part in the imperial examination. He is so courageous and unwilling to rely on royal connections, which is really admirable.
Well, with such integrity and talent, our country should not miss him. I will wait for him to go to high school."
