Jia Baoyu accompanied Princess Yongning to visit King Lu with great enthusiasm.

King Lu didn't care much when he saw Jia Baoyu. During this period, there were many children of the lords in the capital, and even young scholars and literati were in constant force. If it weren't for considering the name of a respectful and polite scholar, and the eldest princess Yongning still had some face in front of his father, he wouldn't want to meet these people again.

This activity of meeting seven or eight waves of people every day made Zhang Qi exhausted. The same etiquette, same expression, and the same words every day basically did not change much, and it was already annoyed him. It was basically useless or meaningful, but it was difficult to refuse. A scholar who was really useful or famous should visit him by himself, rather than rushing to visit him.

When he saw Jia Baoyu and Niu's wife, King Lu seemed a little tired and felt a little forced to hold on. After a few greetings, it was more about the conversation between Princess Yongning and Concubine Mei. Most of the time, Zhang Qi kept smiling silently and rested and was restless.

Facing this cousin and cousin's husband, King Lu was not very interested.

This cousin has a bad reputation. It’s not that he is not a woman’s moral character, but that he has a too big temper.

Although he acted very gentle and virtuous in front of him, Zhang Qi knew that the reason why this cousin was delayed until 18 was because of his arrogant and domineering temper, he could not find anyone in the capital who was willing to marry him. Of course, this means that his identity is suitable in all aspects. Those small families want to win the favor of the dragon and the phoenix, but the Niu family and aunt look down on him, so he has been delayed until now...

This cousin is actually not bad in appearance, she is considered a beauty, but her brows and slightly lowered corners of her eyes show that she is not easy to meet. Looking at her cousin-in-law who follows her side, Zhang Qi couldn't help but feel sad for him. The days ahead may be difficult.

When the chat between mother and aunt came to an end, Zhang Qi was not very interested. He just waited for a little while and prepared to serve tea and see off the guests.

Princess Yongning obviously realized that Concubine Mei and King Lu were a little indifferent to their family, but they were not at all dissatisfied.

Yongning also knew that he had given him enough face to squeeze out this time to meet his family.

She inquired that in the past few days, the guests that King Lu wanted to meet were basically full, which was related to the position of the future crown prince. All the important officials who came to the palace needed to visit and carefully prepared in order to leave a good impression on the important officials, so other matters were put aside.

There are more people coming to visit King Lu. In fact, this iron net mountain autumn has become a grand event. The gimmick of choosing a priest has caused a great sensation in the court and the country. In addition, several princes are very optimistic about poetry and literary associations and are very fond of literati. Therefore, some officials who are depressed and unsuccessful, and some scholars who are well-known but have not been able to enter the government can't help but want to come here to find opportunities. Even if they can get familiar with the future crown prince, it is a kind of success, and may be an opportunity in the future.

Because of this, Princess Yongning knew that King Lu was very busy, and when they arrived, King Lu had just come back to see a group of guests.

"Yaner is only fourteen years old. She is so young and promising. She also has a great reputation in Qingtan Academy. I believe that all the officials in our court know each other and can get a good impression in front of the emperor's brother. The day before yesterday, I met Mr. Gu, the Minister of Rites. Mr. Gu also talked about Yi'er's performance, very appreciating..."

It was not an exaggeration to call the "Qian'er" to shout, but Concubine Mei was already a little impatient. Her son was running back and forth these days, and today he had been seeing guests for five or six times. Acquaintances like Yongning, who would never meet at any time, had to be familiar with her new son-in-law at this time. Isn't it just that she felt that once Concubine became the crown prince in the future, she would have the advantage. Concubine Mei could understand this kind of opportunity, but she was a little contemptuous.

However, Yongning still has some connections, such as being able to talk to Gu Bingqian, the Minister of Rites, which is worthy of this wave of meeting.

"Oh? What did Lord Gu say?" Mei Fei asked, which also attracted Zhang Qi's attention.

Princess Yongning was a little embarrassed. She was just taking advantage of this. The day before yesterday, she met Gu Bingqian and went to the palace to meet the emperor. She just nodded by the way. How could a civil servant like Gu Bingqian stop and discuss the performance of King Lu with her? She never thought that Concubine Mei was so concerned.

"Mr. Gu said that studying at Qingtan Academy is the best strategy. Qingtan Academy has great achievements in teaching the current policy theory. Students from the fifth year of Yonglong to the eighth year of Yonglong have many amazing articles in the papers in the Spring Examination Competition. The emperor attaches great importance to it. Yin'er can study well, which is a kind of familiarity with the court affairs in advance..., such as Feng Keng, practicing state affairs, Fan Jingwen, Xu Xu, Han Jing and others all come from the academy, and their performance is good. Yin'er can also use this resource well in the academy to make friends with heroes..."

Princess Yongning was also very wise, and she said these words as if they were decent. At least Mei Fei believed it and didn't hear anything wrong with it.

However, Zhang Qi was a little confused. Gu Bingqian was the Minister of Rites and the confidant of his father. How could he talk about himself openly with Princess Yongning? I am afraid that Gu Bingqian's cautious nature would not reveal any words. However, in the face of his aunt's conviction, he was half-believing and half-doubted, so he could only listen to it.

However, Princess Yongning's words evoked some memories of Zhang Qi, and she suddenly asked, as if she suddenly remembered something: "Brother Jia, I heard that the Feng family, compiled by your Jia family and Xiao Feng, are not only family friends, but also in-laws?"

Jia Baoyu had almost never been able to interfere in the past. Not to mention him, even as the wife of King Lu's cousin, she could not interfere in such an occasion. She could only find some talk and talk about the affairs of the court. Baoyu had no connection with these topics. At this time, Baoyu was a little regretful. Maybe she had talked to Brother Feng earlier and talked about it, which might be useful in such an occasion.

Unexpectedly, at this time, King Lu took the initiative to ask about himself and Brother Feng.

Jia Baoyu felt mixed feelings at this time. Brother Feng went to Bao's sister, Qin, and wanted to marry Lin's sister, and even took the second sister as his concubine. This contrast made him difficult to accept. It would be fine if the first three were said to be, but even the second sister had to be a concubine for Brother Feng. Moreover, seeing that the second sister looked happy and sweet when she returned to the door, she was even more unacceptable.

He could tolerate all this. When Mingyan told him that Brother Feng and his sister-in-law had an affair on the mountain in the northwest corner, he was even more like a thunder strike.

My sister-in-law has been widowed for so many years and has a reputation in the mansion. She is always honest and chaste. Many messy things in the mansion cannot be affected by her. However, when Mingyan told him that Brother Feng had an affair with her sister-in-law on the mountain, and Mingyan looked at her, he felt that his mentality was about to collapse.

Brother Feng is a lustful person, but he won’t say that his sister Bao is blind and willing to marry him. Why is it so unacceptable that even the sister-in-law is not even in fame and has a relationship with Brother Feng?

This is also the fact that Baoyu has been unwilling to face for so long. He really doesn't want to face Brother Feng. When he thinks of Brother Feng crawling on his sister-in-law, he feels like a knife cutting in his heart. That's his own sister-in-law, how dare Brother Feng?!

The reason why I was even willing to compromise and marry the Niu daughter, and then wanted to rely on the relationship between Princess Yongning and the royal family, was to prove that it was not up to you, Feng Ziying, the Jia family, we have a way out, and I, Jia Baoyu, can also make a name for ourselves.

Especially the master of following the dragon mentioned by Princess Yongning made Baoyu jealous. He no longer needed to study the classics and the masters of the autumn examination and spring examination. Didn’t his ancestors rely on the master of following the dragon to make one family and two kingdoms? So now he might be able to replicate such a wealth?

With this passionate thought, Jia Baoyu came to Tiewang Mountain with great enthusiasm, hoping to gain a good opportunity in this palace hunting garden, and even become a loyal minister by the future prince.

But today's everything made him realize that the dream of this virtuous minister seemed a bit far away.

"Ah?" Jia Baoyu's face changed slightly. He was only to the stern eyes of the eldest princess and his wife beside him, and then he reacted and took a breath and responded: "What Your Highness said is true. The Jia family and the Feng family are indeed family friends, but the Jia family has been in the middle of the capital, while the Feng family's previous generation was mostly in the border areas, mainly in Datong. He was in Beijing for very little time until Brother Feng's father, General Shenwu, stepped down as general Datong. Later, General Shenwu went to the northwest and Liaodong again. Brother Feng stayed to study with Qingtan Academy where His Highness is now. He passed the Jinshi exam in the fifth year of Yonglong,...":.

"Xiao Feng Xiu's wife and brother Jia are the cousins ​​and brothers of the second wife?" Zhang Qi was more interested in this.

There are more middle school students in Qingtan Academy. In the past two years, Feng Ziying has been to the academy for more time, but now he has been in a few times in the past year. He had visited him before, and his attitude was the same as those important officials. He kept a distance and obviously refused to stand among the princes to express his attitude. This is what made Zhang Qi the most worried and unhappy.

Other important officials, Zhang Qi, were powerless to change anything, and those people would not pay attention to him, but Feng Keng, who is not a few years older than him and is from a martial arts family, is not impeccable. Isn’t this guy in front of him a good medium?
