    "Are you going now?"

    Ye Junsheng was a little reluctant.

    Li Yifeng is speechless. He has lived for most of his life, read countless people, and thinks he has insight into people's hearts.  However, in front of Ye Junsheng, all the previous experiences seemed to be of no use, and there was no time to make a correct judgment.

    "Ye Junsheng is talented, it is undeniable.  The most unusual thing is his character and thoughts, which are difficult to guess and capture.  He's not a madman, he's not a gentleman, he's not a villain, and he's not a fool.

    "Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi, the two "older generations", are also very frustrated and at a loss what to do.

    With a dry cough, Huang Yuanqi said slowly: "Jun Sheng, the second prince admires your talent very much. He specially held a banquet in the palace and invited you to come. Well, he is waiting for you."

    "Brother, go ahead, business is important."

    Ye Junmei came out.

    After thinking for a moment, Ye Junsheng said: "OkayJunmei, you should be more careful at home."

    The girl said "hmm" heavily and leaned against the door, smiling like a charming and indescribable flower.

    Sister, you have really grown up

    You know, in the Tianhua Dynasty, it was common for women to get married and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and Ye Junmei was already seventeen years old, which was the most beautiful moment.

    Putting aside some distracting thoughts, Ye Junsheng followed Li and Huang out.  A carriage had been prepared outside the door. The three of them got into the carriage and sat down before the carriage rumbled away.

    Li Yifeng suddenly asked: "Jun Sheng, when you were the number one scholar, did His Highness the Crown Prince ever put you in trouble?"

    Ye Junsheng smiled calmly and said: "If it's difficult, I won't be able to go home so smoothly."

    Huang Yuanqi scratched his gray hair: "That's not right. There is no reason for him to be so talkative."

    Ye Junsheng said: "That's true. But I have noble people to help me, so I can avoid a lot of trouble."

    "My lord?"

    Li and Huang said in unison.  Four eyes looked at Ye Junsheng curiously.

    "The little dragon girl from the capital, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."

    "Oh. So it's her."

    The two old men exhaled at the same time, looked at each other, and their expressions became happy.  They don't know why Ye Junsheng got involved with Zhao Emei. Unless the person involved takes the initiative to talk about such matters, other people should not ask more questions. It is easy to violate taboos.

    They are elders, so they naturally know the truth.

    Is it the work of the Second Prince?  But no, if it were, the Second Prince wouldn't have been so anxious before

    Li Yifeng is full of suspicion about Dou.

    but no matter.  The aloof status of Zhao Emei is willing to stand up for Ye Junsheng, which is undoubtedly great news.  The current Second Prince's status is embarrassing, and it is not appropriate for him to come forward in many matters.  But Zhao Emei is different, she doesn't care about these power struggles.  And other worldly relationships cannot restrain her.

    Huang Yuanqi sighed: "I think the Ninth Princess also appreciates Junsheng's talent, so he stands up for you. Haha, no wonder Junsheng is so calm."

    When he said this, Li Yifeng suddenly figured it out: This possibility is indeed the greatest.  I remember that at the Jizhou Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, the title of Ye Junsheng's leader was personally appointed by Zhao Emei.

    Once this layer is uncovered, all cause and effect will be quite easy to understand.

    Ye Junsheng couldn't tell the difference either, and the two elders had a defensible explanation in their minds.  Nothing could be better.

    About tea time, the carriage stopped.

    The three of them dismounted.

    Ye Junsheng looked up and saw a house here.  Although the scale is not small, at first glance.  I knew it couldn't be the second prince Zhao Kuangming's mansion, it should belong to something like a separate courtyard.

    That¡¯s right.  At the critical moment, Zhao Kuangmingruo entertained Ye Junsheng with a grand banquet at his mansion.  If the news spreads, it will inevitably cause people to hate me.  If one person is not good enough, a group of imperial officials will write a letter of impeachment, and the impact will be bad.

    The door of the courtyard is fresh and elegant, with no stone lions, red lanterns, or wooden doors.  There is a plaque on the door, "Qingyuan".  On both sides of the door, there is a couplet.

    "What is the reason for being indifferent? It is peaceful and peaceful."

    Ye Junsheng took a look and saw that the words on it were quite regular. It didn't look like it was written by someone. It was very flat.  Come to think of it, it must be the calligraphy of the Second Prince.  As for the meaning of the pair, I'm afraid it's more of a facade, and it doesn't mean much if it doesn't reveal anything about the city.

    No need to report, the three people entered without any obstruction.  After turning around three corridors, we soon arrived at the main hall.

    "Haha, there are magpies chirping on the branches this morning, it is indeed joyful."

    As soon as I stepped through the door, I heard a burst of hearty laughter.

    Ye Junsheng held back his laughter: The words of the ancients are indeed unreliable.The score and the scene are too elaborate.  Etiquette is the same, everything you say must be said within the etiquette.  It would be rude not to say something like "The magpie announces good news" or "Pengpi Shenghui".

    This set of rules is applicable to ordinary scholars and powerful people.  Just look at the status of the guest and then formulate the words.

    I saw the second prince Zhao Kuangming in plainclothes greeting him personally.

    Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi hurriedly greeted the ceremony and even said they did not dare.  They belong to the camp of the second prince, together with Gu Xichao.  Strictly speaking, they can all be called Zhao Kuangming's subordinates.  In this situation, I dare not make too big a mistake.

    Ye Junsheng was different, even though the prince who killed him was the second prince.  But he knew his own family affairs, and he didn't like to get involved in the turmoil of political strife.  It's just that under the current situation, protecting yourself wisely is not a good option.  Because of this, he came to see Zhao Kuangming.

    He has his choice.

    As usual, he bowed his hands in a salute without being arrogant or humble: "Xiaosheng Ye Junsheng, I have met the prince."

    Li Yifeng and Huang Yuanqi were used to seeing his calm appearance and were no longer surprised.

    By the way, it is normal for Ye Junsheng not even to give the prince face, but to maintain his posture in front of the second prince.  If it were an ordinary scholar, he might have said "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh," and would have stuttered.

    Without it, ordinary scholars have too many things to rely on when asking for help.  The officialdom is unpredictable. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "if you are not in a faction, you will not be an official." You must take sides.  If you want to be alone and noble, then don't think about becoming an official.  For most people at the grassroots level, princes and princes are so high up in the hierarchy that they are just out of reach and have no way out.

    Ye Junsheng's calmness stems from his special status. In a word, he does not need to beg his grandfather or grandma to have a relationship. Of course, his waist is straighter.

    After some pleasantries, Zhao Kuangming mentioned that he passed by Jizhou that day and bought calligraphy at Duzuuzhai.  Li and Huang couldn't help but sigh.

    At that time, Ye Junsheng was just starting out and his reputation was not obvious.  They still rushed to buy Ye Junsheng's calligraphy for the sake of the Second Prince.  At that time, I still thought that Ye Jun and Jiang Taigong were asking for high prices for fishing.

    Times have changed, and although those copybooks are not stamped with Ye Junsheng's seal, the market has risen and the price has reached an astonishing level.

    As for the major prefectures, fake calligraphy paintings by Ye Junsheng are flying all over the place, batch after batch.

    After drinking tea, the banquet was held, during which all the talk was gossip.  The second prince talked and laughed happily and did not mention sensitive topics.

    After dinner, after eating the fruit, he asked Ye Junsheng to draw a picture.

    Ye Junsheng agreed, and someone immediately brought the best Four Treasures of the Study.

    Li and Huang both craned their necks to look at it, wondering how Ye Junsheng was writing.  (To be continued)
