Unexpectedly, this middle school boy named Wang Dan is actually a member of the Luochuan Wang family, and his status is not low. Although he is not the eldest son, he is also the legitimate son and the younger brother of Wang Yong, the future head of the Wang family.
Of course, he is also Li Xuan's brother-in-law.
It is really surprising that Li Xuan's brother-in-law is mixed with Qin Yu and the others, and judging from the state between the two, this brother-in-law seems to be unconvinced by Li Xuan's brother-in-law.
There are too many people attending the banquet tonight, not only the officials and dignitaries of Kyoto, but also their children and heirs. After the great court meeting, the officials from all over the country have not left yet. Naturally, one palace cannot accommodate so many people. With more people,
He is not qualified to enter the temple.
Including Qin Yu and many dandies in Kyoto, they could only eat and drink outside the palace.
Even though the Wang family is one of the most powerful families in Jingguo, the two younger generations can only sit in the main hall, but only in a remote corner. If they go a little further back, they will sit outside the hall.
Li Xuan's seat is naturally in the front. Although Li Yi does not need to go to court on weekdays, his official position cannot be measured by common sense. His position is extremely forward. I wonder if someone deliberately arranged it to be connected with Li Xuan.
At this time, there was no one at the front seat. The dance in the center of the hall was extremely beautiful, and everyone was laughing and chatting while enjoying it. Throughout the year, there were not many days where we could relax like this.
In a corner of the hall, a young man named Wang Dan pouted with an arrogant look on his face.
"Are you not convinced?" Wang Yong looked at his younger brother and asked.
"Humph!" Wang Dan snorted coldly, clearly writing these three words on his face.
Wang Yong knocked him on the head and said, "Even my father attaches great importance to County Uncle Li. What do you know at such a young age?"
"He is a bad guy!" Wang Dan glanced in a certain direction in the palace and said coldly.
"Bad guy?" The smile on Wang Yong's face faded and he said word by word: "Wang Dan, do you know who you are?"
He had never seen his eldest brother show such an expression before. Wang Dan's body trembled and his face turned pale.
Wang Yong looked at him and said seriously: "Tell me exactly what happened just now, without any concealment!"
Wang Dan shivered and said, "Yes, it's Brother Qin and the others..."
…
After a while, after listening to him tell what happened, Wang Yong looked at him with a look of disappointment that could not be concealed on his face, and said: "Father and I had high hopes for you, but we didn't expect that you would be so stimulated by such a clumsy technique."
Stupid, you disappoint me so much!"
"Brother, Brother Qin, they..." Wang Dan just spoke, Wang Yong waved his hand and said: "Don't say they have ulterior motives, they are truly upright and from the line of the King of Shu. The King of Shu failed to marry your sister, and has already divorced us.
The Wang family is on the opposite side, as the legitimate son of the Wang family, can't you even think of these things?"
Wang Dan curled his lips and said: "The king of Shu is not as good as him, why did my father..."
"shut up!"
Wang Yong's voice became cold and stern, and even a few people around him looked at him. Wang Dan immediately retracted his neck and stopped talking.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle Li are the leaders of the younger generation. They are already famous in Kyoto at a young age. What qualifications do you have to say such words? Not to mention the academy and the Academy of Sciences..."
…
After listening to the elder brother telling the story of Li Yi and Li Xuan, Wang Dan's face showed a look of shock soon after. He glanced in a certain direction again. The cheap brother-in-law he had always looked down on was the same as the one he had just met.
Is the unreasonable person really that powerful?
"So what, after a few years, I will be even more powerful than them..." Wang Dan curled his lips and said, but his tone softened.
"Let's not talk about a few years later..." Wang Yong looked at him, "What you have to worry about is half a month from now."
"Why?" Wang Dan turned his head and asked doubtfully.
"My family has spent a lot of resources so that you can enter the School of Calculation without taking an exam." Wang Yong looked at him and said: "In half a month, it will be the day of admission to the School of Calculation, and the director of the School of Calculation is the one you just
Said "that guy"."
The expression on Wang Dan's face froze, he rubbed his numb shoulders, glanced in a certain direction in the hall, and his heart fell into the bottomless abyss...
…
…
"This, this, must be in this."
"No, there was nothing underneath this bowl just now!"
"Does sir know magic, like Sun Wukong?"
…
There was singing and dancing in the hall, but from a small area in front, screams and cheers could be heard from time to time.
Tsundere Loli led several younger brothers and sisters over, and was surprised by Li Yi's few close-up magic tricks.
It's nothing more than putting the beans under the bowl and letting them guess, using some tricks to transfer the beans or making things out of nothing, and making beans into the empty bowl. This kind of little magic trick with no technical difficulty can also deceive children. In Ruyi and Liu Er,
When performing in front of young ladies, they always ended in failure.
The few young princes and princesses were "powerful". Although they could not be said to be the focus of the entire hall, many people were paying attention to this area.
"Okay, okay, it won't change today, let's go play." It always feels a little strange to be watched by so many people. Li Yi waved his hand and put the bowl away. Seeing that there was no spell, everyone looked at it.
The princes dispersed in a hurry, and only Tsundere Loli and Yong Ning stayed here.
"Why haven't you started yet?" Li Yi turned to look at Li Xuan. Sitting here was really boring. In comparison, the city of Kyoto outside was definitely more lively.
The tsundere loli interjected: "Father is not feeling well and is resting in the back hall."
Li Yi sighed. He originally planned to go out to watch the Lantern Festival with Ruyi after finishing here. The Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival is far from what it was before. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year.
I don’t know if the Queen’s side is over yet, otherwise we can leave early. With so many people, no one will notice if one or two sneak up.
With this thought in mind, a strange young man walked over from the opposite side, cupped his hand to Li Xuan and said, "Long time no see."
Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, then returned the greeting: "His Royal Highness, King Qi, long time no see."
The tsundere loli looked at the young man and said in surprise: "Is that Brother Qi Wang?"
The young man smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few years, Shouning has grown so tall..."
His Highness Prince Qi exchanged a few words with Tsundere Loli, then his eyes fell on Li Yi and asked: "Is this Li County Uncle Li Yi?"
Li Yi stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have met His Highness King Qi."
"Uncle Li is so polite." King Qi smiled and said, "Although I am not in Kyoto, I have heard of Uncle Li's deeds. Uncle Li is undoubtedly the leader of the younger generation of our Jingguo and the pillar of the country.
..., I have wanted to get acquainted with you all morning, but I have no choice but to meet you today."
The same prince, look at this King of Qi, he likes to tell the truth, and there are countless ways to get rid of the hypocritical guy of King Shu. Li Yi smiled and said: "Where is it? Your Highness is so ridiculous..."
The King of Qi poured a glass of wine, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Li has made many contributions to our country, Jingguo. I admire him in my heart, and I would like to dedicate this glass of wine to Uncle Li!"
After Li Yi was stunned, he could only raise his glass.
Even if King Qi is not favored, he is still a real prince. As soon as he walked over, many people looked at him.
This time the King of Shu lost power and was sent away from Kyoto by His Majesty, and could not come back from the court meeting. Naturally, the ones who benefited the most were the other adult princes.
And many adult princes expect His Highness to be the one who respects him more in terms of status and background.
Does the King of Qi behave like this on such occasions, in full view of the public, have any other meaning?
Could it be that he was trying to win over Uncle Li, who was in the holy family, and wanted to get his hands on the position of the East Palace?
Now that things have happened, no one in the civil and military circles dares to look down upon this young county magistrate.
All the officials of the King of Shu's line immediately felt a little vigilant in their hearts.
King Qi said a few words, toasted with a glass of wine, and then sat back down. However, Li Yi knew clearly in his heart that he didn't just want to express his admiration for him that was as continuous as a river...
Of course, admiration is necessary. Apart from admiration, you must also have the intention to win over him and help him fight for the throne...
"King Qi wants to win over you." Li Xuan said with a frown.
Li Yi glanced at him. Even a fool could see what King Qi was thinking.
"Why does he want to win over you?" A puzzled expression appeared on Li Xuan's face, "Except for the academy, you have no real power and no influence in the court, and the value you can use is not great. Why does he want to
Want to win over a worthless person?"
"A worthless person..."
Li Yi smiled, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.
For some reason, this smile made Li Xuan feel a little shuddering. In the brightly lit hall, there seemed to be a dark wind blowing from the corner.
