He didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt that using a gourd to hold wine had that feeling.
Liu Ling's eyes immediately fell on the wine gourd.
It seems that I really want to taste it right now.
Ye Qingyun had an idea.
Since I can't go to the sword tasting competition.
Then why not hold a wine tasting conference.
It's quite lively.
Ye Qingyun looked at Liu Ling and Wu Qingfeng.
"You two, I suddenly had an idea."
Both of them looked at Ye Qingyun curiously.
"What do you think, Mr. Ye?"
Wu Qingfeng asked.
Ye Qingyun shook the wine gourd in his hand.
"How about we hold a wine tasting conference?"
Wine tasting conference?
Both of them were startled and a little confused.
Shen Tianhua, Huikong and Liu Changyue were also a little confused.
Ye Qingyun said: "My house has always been quite deserted. Since you two are here today, why not just invite a few more friends to come here for a wine tasting?"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Qingfeng and Liu Ling's eyes lit up.
This is a good suggestion.
Just in time to invite Yi Tianxing and Du Wei over.
The Seven Sages of the Tang Dynasty have not been together for a long time.
"Master Ye, this is a very good suggestion!"
Wu Qingfeng agreed.
"A certain family also thinks it's okay."
Liu Ling also nodded.
Ye Qingyun clapped his hands.
"Then it's settled, you two will invite the other Seven Sages of the Tang Dynasty."
"I will also go and invite Your Majesty to come."
"good!"
"So good!"
The decision to hold a wine tasting conference was made hastily.
Liu Ling and Wu Qingfeng went to invite several other people from the Seven Sages of the Tang Dynasty.
Ye Qingyun asked Huikong to go to the palace to invite Emperor Li Tianmin on his behalf.
At the same time, he also asked his servants to tidy up the house well.
It didn't take long.
Li Tianmin came first.
He came with several close ministers.
And brought heavy gifts.
Ye Qingyun learned that Li Tianmin had arrived so quickly and hurried out of the house to greet him.
"Master Ye, I'm here to bother you."
Li Tianmin, dressed in casual clothes, smiled and cupped his hands at Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun returned the gift repeatedly.
"Your Majesty is too polite. There is nothing to bother you. Please come quickly."
The two of them were very reserved.
Then Ye Qingyun welcomed Li Tianmin into the house.
Among the three close ministers around Li Tianmin, Ye Qingyun knew one of them, Zhang Qian, the head of the Xuanjing Department.
The latter also bowed to Ye Qingyun.
The other two people, one was an old man with a gray beard. Ye Qingyun had met this man before, but he was not familiar with him and had never spoken to him.
The other person is quite young, looking like he is only in his twenties.
This young man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looks very extraordinary.
Ye Qingyun even noticed that this young man's status seemed to be higher than that of Zhang Qian and the white-bearded old man.
"Master Ye, is it inconvenient to live here these days? If you have any needs, I will personally take care of it for Master Ye."
"No, no, everything is fine here. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
"That's good. I've always wanted to come and visit, but I'm really busy with state affairs and can't find the time."
"Today I learned that Mr. Ye is going to hold a wine tasting conference, and I will come to support him no matter what."
"Your Majesty is interested!"
...
A group of people walked into the lobby.
Li Tianmin then introduced the people around him to Ye Qingyun.
Needless to say, Zhang Qian, the white-bearded old man has an extraordinary status. He is a master of the imperial palace and the person who always protects Li Tianmin.
The white-bearded old man's name is Xue Yichen, and his cultivation level is slightly higher than that of Shen Tianhua in the God Refining Realm.
"I, Xue Yichen, pay my respects to Mr. Ye!"
Xue Yichen saluted Ye Qingyun respectfully.
Ye Qingyun also returned the gift politely.
"This is my eldest son, Li Yuancheng!"
Ye Qingyun was a little surprised.
It turns out to be the prince!
No wonder his appearance and temperament are so outstanding.
A prince of a country should have such outstanding appearance.
"Yuan Cheng, meet Mr. Ye."
Li Yuancheng also immediately bowed to Ye Qingyun.
"Yuan Cheng meets Mr. Ye!"
Ye Qingyun smiled and returned the favor.
"His Royal Highness is too polite!"
Li Yuancheng smiled slightly.
"I have heard of Mr. Ye's reputation for a long time. It is a great honor to meet him today."
That's what it says.
But Ye Qingyun always felt that Li Yuancheng's expression was a bit insincere.
And the look in his eyes seemed to be a bit condescending.
Ye Qingyun didn't care at all.
On the contrary, I feel that it should be the case.
He is a prince.
Isn’t it normal to be a little arrogant?
If I were born as a prince, I would be crazier than him.
In fact, Li Yuancheng looked down on Ye Qingyun deep down.
Since Ye Qingyun came to Datang, Li Yuancheng, as the prince, has also heard of Ye Qingyun's name many times.
Everyone worshiped Ye Qingyun like a god.
This naturally aroused Li Yuancheng's curiosity.
Li Yuancheng also sent someone to inquire about it.
It turned out that Ye Qingyun was just a mortal.
It was all based on the name of a Buddhist saint.
This made Li Yuancheng feel very disdainful.
What is there to respect about a person in name only?
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he followed his father, Emperor Li Tianmin.
I just want to see how much this so-called Ye Qingyun weighs?
If he really thought it was an embroidered pillow, then he would tear it apart in public.
Let everyone know the true face of Ye Qingyun.
"Mr. Ye, besides me, have you invited anyone else?"
Li Tianmin asked curiously.
Ye Qingyun: "There are still some people whom Your Majesty should know. They are probably arriving soon."
Li Tianmin nodded.
Those who can be invited by Ye Qingyun must not be ordinary people.
Li Yuancheng suddenly said: "Master Ye, there is something I have always been curious about."
"Oh? Prince, please tell me."
Li Yuancheng: "I heard that Mr. Ye once defeated Yi Tianxing, the chess master of the Tang Dynasty, with his chess skills, but I don't know whether it is true or not?"
When Ye Qingyun heard this, he realized that this was the matter and waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's all a false name, not worth mentioning."
This was originally Ye Qingyun's humble words, but to Li Yuancheng's ears, it sounded like he was too guilty to admit it.
Li Yuancheng's mouth curved slightly.
"I know a lot about chess, but I don't know if I can play a game with Mr. Ye?"
Want to play chess?
Ye Qingyun couldn't help but look at Li Tianmin.
Li Tianmin frowned and glared at Li Yuancheng.
"Nonsense!"
"Young Master Ye's chess skills are astonishing even to the senior chess masters. With your meager skills, do you dare to show your shame in front of Mr. Ye?"
Li Yuancheng didn't care.
"Father, I just want to compete with Mr. Ye on chess."
Li Tianmin was a little helpless.
"Master Ye, I really made you laugh."
Ye Qingyun waved his hand.
"It's okay. It just so happens that the other guests haven't arrived yet, so let's move on to the next game."
Li Yuancheng's eyes lit up.
"Then thank you Mr. Ye for your advice."
Soon, the chessboard was placed.
Ye Qingyun and Li Yuancheng sat on each side.
Others stood and watched.
Li Tianmin was a little helpless.
My son is so proud and arrogant.
Obviously knowing that Ye Qingyun's chess skills are enough to compete with the chess master, even the chess master was defeated by Ye Qingyun.
But he still wants to play chess with him.
Isn’t this asking for trouble?
"Just take this opportunity to give this kid a good beating."
Li Tianmin said secretly.
The game begins.
Ye Qingyun originally wanted to give in, but Li Yuancheng was so crazy that he let Ye Qingyun go first.
Ye Qingyun was not polite.
Just take the white chess piece and place it.
Li Yuancheng responded calmly with a confident smile.
In the blink of an eye.
Already made more than a dozen moves.
The smile on Li Yuancheng's face grew stronger.
"This person's chess skills are so mediocre."
He couldn't help but feel even more contempt for Ye Qingyun.
He is indeed a guy who does not live up to his name.
