This was something that Huo Shufan had never thought of.
He just wanted to invite His Royal Highness the Sixth Princess to have dinner together again, but it was really difficult to book a table in Juxian Pavilion. Since the last time, it took many days to book another table.
I was thinking of talking to His Royal Highness Sixth Princess about the upcoming marriage, but I didn't expect to meet so many handsome and unattainable young men from Kyoto.
He didn't even expect to meet Li Chenan!
Now it seems that Li Chenan came here with them.
I used to hate Li Chenan in Guangling City, because this kid joined the Yulong Society and became the helmsman of Guangling sub-helm, this made my grandfather change his attitude towards him, decided to turn hostility into friendship, and even wanted my sister to marry Li Chenan, even if it was a concubine It doesn't matter.
He could understand Grandpa's hard work.
After all, the Yulonghui is under the influence of Prime Minister Ji, and since Li Chen'an has become a helmsman of the Yulonghui, he is a member of Prime Minister Ji.
It's just that things changed too quickly.
A few days ago, Prime Minister Ji actually sent someone to Huaxi Bieyuan to assassinate Li Chen'an... It would be great if this kid died!
But he didn't die, and grandpa changed his attitude afterward——
He cut off an arm of Yang Sixian, the world inspector of the Ichthyosaur Society!
He and the Ichthyosaur Society have completely turned their heads!
He is no longer Ji Chengxiang's person, but the one standing opposite Ji Cheng!
Of course, with Prime Minister Ji's height, he didn't think about this kid from Guangling.
But Grandpa said to be very careful, because could it be the Dingguo Houfu's intention behind this matter?
If so, this is the Dingguo Houfu's attitude to the world through this kid!
Both the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion have too high a status, and the two sides did not directly reveal the conflict of confrontation. Grandpa said that Li Chen'an's chess piece might be the means of the game between the two sides.
In other words, this kid suddenly stood in front of the stage, and he was no longer that obscure idiot in Guangling City.
His every move can even reflect the meaning of Dingguo Houfu, so pay attention!
Huo Shufan thought a lot at this moment.
The sixth princess Ning Shuyu also thought a lot.
For example, tonight, three of these noble disciples from Kyoto came, this must be Zhongli Ruoshui's method——
She hoped that Li Chen'an could get acquainted with these noble disciples and integrate into their circle.
Its purpose is of course very simple, to use the momentum for Li Chenan!
Li Chen'an already had the strong backing of Dingguohoufu, if he can get the support of Chengguogongfu and Qiguogongfu, then this kid can really make some waves in the capital.
Although the current Dingguohou's Mansion has not yet made a choice between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Emperor's Brother, Mrs. Fan clearly rejected the Second Emperor's marriage to Zhongli Ruoshui when she met her father. This at least shows that Dingguohou's Mansion is not too optimistic. Second Emperor Brother, then the Dingguohou's Mansion is more biased towards the Prince's elder brother.
Although the prince's elder brother is kind, he is far inferior to the second emperor's elder brother.
In the words of the mother and concubine, that is the benevolence of a woman, and it cannot accomplish great things. His position in the East Palace will be abolished by his father sooner or later.
So in the heart of the sixth princess Ning Shuyu, she is more inclined to the second emperor brother, and there is another reason for this - the fourth princess Ning Chuchu is too beautiful!
She doesn't like the beauty of this imperial sister who is similar in age, so she thinks that the prince's elder brother's obesity is an eyesore.
She also doesn't like Li Chenan's handsomeness... She turned her head to look at Huo Shufan, and felt that Li Chenan was much prettier than Huo Shufan beside her.
However, Li Chenan's talent and reputation are also at the height of the sky, much more dazzling than the Guangling talent beside him.
At this moment, Li Chen'an was standing among the crowd, talking and laughing happily, and in Ning Shuyu's eyes, he felt more and more an eyesore.
Therefore, the sixth princess Ning Shuyu doesn't like it even more!
So, she did a small thing——
She stretched out her hand to summon the coachman who was driving the car, and whispered in the coachman's ear, "Take my palace's name card and go to the Duke of Yan's mansion, and tell Mrs. Yan a word... just say, Li Chenan's banquet The young masters of Duke Cheng and Duke Qi seem to look down on him."
The coachman took the name card, bowed and drove away.
Ning Shuyu laughed, that face covered with a veil did not show her ferocious side to outsiders.
"Let's go, I'm hungry, let's watch a play when we're full."
Li Chenan and the others did not notice Ning Shuyu and his party standing in the shadows.
After Qi Zhishan introduced Yang Yulin and Tang Qian to Li Chenan, the group went to the third floor of Juxian Pavilion together.
It wasn't until these people went upstairs that Ning Shuyu came out from the darkness.
They also went to the second floor of Juxian Pavilion.
...
...
There is only one room on the third floor.
It is the largest room in Juxian Pavilion that is never open to the public. This room has a name, it is Banchengyan.
Li Chen'an stood at the door and carefully looked at these three words, a little curious, Zhongli Ruoshui beside him smiled lightly and said, "It's just a random name, there is a lot of fog in autumn in Kyoto, and the third floor of Juxian Pavilion is quite high. , Standing on it and looking around, all you can see is the smog of half the city, so it was named like this."
Su Mu, who had already entered the room ahead, turned her head, "I'm afraid you don't know that Juxian Pavilion has been open for several years, and there are only a handful of people who can eat in this half-city smoke!"
"I'm in your light!"
"Today, although you can't see the beautiful scenery of half of the city, you can also see half of the city's lights. This life is worth it!"
Qi Zhixue on the side laughed, and he took the lead to sit at the big round table, "I have been here twice, but I was not invited by sister Ruoshui, but came with my father."
Saying this, Qi Zhixue looked out the window, feeling a little emotional, and said, "I saw different scenery twice, one was in late autumn, and I really saw the fog that gradually rose at night in Kyoto. The other time was in the cold winter, at noon At that time, I saw the appearance of snow in half of the city in Kyoto."
Zhongli Ruoshui led Li Chenan into the room and sat on the main seat. She smiled playfully and said, "You can come here often from now on. This room... I have given it to Chen'an, so if you want to be here Taste delicious food here, enjoy the different scenery of Kyoto, you can go to Huaxi Bieyuan to find him at any time."
This statement sets the tone for two things—
First, it shows that the relationship between Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chenan is extremely stable.
It has been more than ten days since Li Chenan entered the capital, but in these more than ten days, he still has not been able to enter the door of the Marquis Mansion!
This has caused various speculations from many forces.
For example, some people think that Li Chen'an is a poor literati in Guangling City after all, and that Mrs. Fan in Dingguohou's Mansion may not really have the idea of marrying his precious granddaughter to him.
For example, Li Chen'an and Yulong would turn against each other, and Dingguohou's mansion would not necessarily turn against the Prime Minister's mansion because of his personal grievances.
In fact, in the eyes of many high-ranking figures in Kyoto, it is best to maintain the current peaceful situation between Dingguohou's Mansion and Xiangfu's Mansion. when.
If that time really comes... I'm afraid that there will be a bloodbath in this capital, and these high-ranking and powerful people may not be able to stay out of it.
The second meaning of Zhongli Ruoshui's words, of course, is to hope that the three sons of Duke Cheng and Duke Qi can get closer to Li Chen'an.
There are five major government houses in Ningguo, each of which has its own strength and influence.
If Li Chenan can make friends with them, it will obviously be of great benefit to Li Chenan.
Cheng Zhe looked at Li Chen'an at this time, his square face was still a little displeased, "You boy, if it wasn't for what you said when you entered the south gate of the capital... this young master would not be so angry because of your wine." And close to you!"
"However, what you said is really shocking. Grandpa highly respects you, saying that Ningguo will surely produce another great Confucian in three hundred years... No matter how I look at it, I can't see that you have the temperament of a great Confucian."
"I heard that you and the fish and dragon will turn against each other. Grandpa asked me to invite you to my house as a guest tomorrow."
"how?"
