Chapter 315 An invitation
Ye Qing took Liang Xing and Mo Xiaobao back to Lin'an City overnight. Even when they arrived at the city gate, the city gate was closed.
But because of the sign of the Imperial City Department, there was no need to worry about it, the three of them entered the city in the same carriage.
In the Lan'er Teahouse in Dawazi, Li Heng and Liu Lan'er were shocked when they saw Ye Qing. Why did he, who was originally in West Lake, suddenly run back to the middle of the night?
Regarding Li Heng and Liu Lan'er, the "dog man and woman" who had already lived together, Ye Qing could only not eat the grapes and said that the grapes were sour, and he snorted coldly at the two of them.
Liu Lan'er listened to Ye Qing's cold snorting, and instantly understood what Ye Qing was humming. She instantly blushed and ran to the inner room with her head down shyly.
But after a while, Li Heng called Liu Lan'er over again, and then, together with Liang Xing and Mo Xiaobao, they were thick at the tea shop downstairs, leaving the upstairs to Ye Qing who ran back from the middle of the night to talk about serious matters with Liu Lan'er.
Ye Qing gave Liu Lan'er two days to think about whether there were any countermeasures and methods that could make Tang Hexi fool again, or to successfully frame Tang Hexi again.
What is different from the last time is that the last time is like a warning, and this time, it is natural to let Tang Hexi disappear from the world.
Whether it was the four woods and three evil spirits in front of Shi Miyuan, the Dali Temple in the hands of King Xin Zhao Ju, the Dali Temple in the hands of Liang Ke’s family, even the Jin envoys, the Xia envoys, Dali, and the Liao envoys were carefully screened by Ye Qing and Liu Lan'er.
Then they found that these people were all human beings, and it seemed difficult to frame them. Moreover, even the target Tang Hexi would not be fooled easily. After all, he had been fooled once, so he would definitely be very careful in these days.
After all the calculations, there is only one person who can blame or create a conflict with Tang Hexi.
But that person was thrown into the prison of the Imperial City Department by Ye Qing on the New Year, so Ye Qing felt speechless as if he had shot himself in the foot.
The lights in the room became lighter and lighter. The original night outside the window was gradually eroded by layers of light. As Ye Qing stayed up all night, Liu Lan'er, with red eyes, yawned sideways, looked at Ye Qing facing the spout, drank another pot of strong tea. When she was about to get up to pour water for Ye Qing again, she was stopped by Ye Qing.
"Forget it, you should rest too. You are tired even if you haven't slept all night." Ye Qing waved his hand and walked downstairs to wake up Mo Xiaobao and Li Heng. Liang Xing, who had also not slept all night, walked quickly outside and put the carriage on and led it over.
Ye Qing slept for most of the day. As Bai Chun and Jinse rushed back from West Lake, Ye Qing, who was sitting on the balcony on the second floor, was still not having a perfect plan in his mind.
"Murder is not the purpose, the purpose is to make Tang Situi discouraged, lose his spiritual pillar and court ambitions, and then voluntarily resign. "Watching Bai Chun and Jinse next to the mulberry tree walking downstairs to the center of the yard, Ye Qing murmured to himself while basking in the warm afternoon sun.
"What's wrong with you? You have to come back overnight yesterday." Bai Chun slowly walked to Ye Qing from the corridor on the second floor of the small building on her side, and asked the lazy and depressed Ye Qing leaning against the railing.
"It's okay." Ye Qing didn't even raise his head, and said, looking at Bai Chun's feet that showed a small piece of the hem of the skirt.
"Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the prince's wedding will be the crown prince. As an official of the court, should you prepare some gifts? Are you worried about this?" Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing's head. His short hair could now grow to tie it up.
Ye Qing chuckled twice, narrowed his eyes and raised his head, looking at Bai Chun and said, "That is, you think you think I am. Who do you think I am? Do you think the Supreme Emperor will invite me, or will the Minister of Works, Li Daohui, who is the royal relative, invite me? Or do I have a good relationship with the prince, and the prince will send someone to send me invitations?"
"That's not sure, what if?" Bai Chun said stubbornly.
Looking at Ye Qing's cheeks rising a little decadent, Bai Chun opened his mouth and wanted to say that no matter what, you are the most important person in my heart.
But how could she not even say even a word of comfort in the face of those burning eyes.
Li Dao couldn't understand why Feng Niang suddenly invited Ye Qing to come to the mansion on the day of her wedding. Although her status was sufficient, she should not be the guest of honor for the Minister of Works.
Moreover, the grudge between Ye Qing and Li Lifang has not been broken yet. Both himself and Ye Qing know this matter, and there will definitely be a break in the future.
So if you were invited Ye Qing to the house on her wedding day according to Li Fengniang's wishes, wouldn't Fengniang have considered her brother Li Lifang's feelings?
Li Dao's confusion became stronger and stronger after the servant came over to tell him that Li Lifang had no other meaning in this matter.
Seeing that Li Fengniang got married that day and was about to become the crown princess, Li Dao had no choice but to follow the wishes of Li Fengniang and brothers, and waved his hand to ask his servants to send Ye Qing an invitation to Li Fengniang's wedding day.
Li Lifang, who had not been to his house for a long time, looked at his house and his sister's embroidery building became more and more festive and magnificent. The palace maids and eunuchs were back and forth, hurriedly serving Li Fengniang, and Li Lifang felt a sense of accomplishment and nobility in his heart.
"What else?" Li Fengniang looked at her brother sitting on a chair in the main hall, looking around at her embroidery building, and said proudly in her heart.
"Can Tang Hexi be on the list?" Li Li winked at Li Fengniang, and asked in a low voice after Li Fengniang waved the palace maid next to her.
"This sister can't make a decision anymore. It depends on the relationship between her father and the right prime minister, and also on how the royal family arranged it." Li Fengniang chuckled charmingly and said to Li Lifang.
As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when they are happy. Now Li Fengniang, who is about to become the crown princess, looks more charming and charming than in the past.
"That's why I came for this matter, please sign your name." Li Lifang took out an invitation from his arms, opened it and handed it to Li Fengniang and said.
"What does it mean?" Li Fengniang asked inexplicably, looking at the invitation with three words Li Lifang.
Li Lifang smiled proudly and said lightly: "Don't you understand this? Tang Situi and other important officials in the court will naturally follow the emperor to the Prince's Mansion to welcome you, the Prince's Mansion, on the day of your wedding. If Tang Hexi does not invite you, he must follow his grandfather Tang Situi to the Prince's Mansion."
"You are quite thoughtful, so in order to show that you have a Crown Princess' sister and make him jealous, so you want your sister to invite him to our house together?" Li Fengniang laughed sweetly, picked up the pen quickly, and wrote her name on it.
Li Lifang looked at the three words Li Fengniang on the invitation, picked up the invitation and admired it while casually saying, "Sister, don't underestimate me. Tang Hexi used my sincerity to him, so I should repay him no matter how hard it is, right?"
"Oh? I can't tell you that the power strategy you understand. Do you still plan to become an official in the future?" Li Fengniang asked with a smile: "But how do you plan to repay him? Just let him watch your sister become the crown princess, even if it's a reward?"
"No, no." Li Lifang stood up from the chair with a proud expression, and whispered: "Tang Situi must take Tang Hexi to the Prince's Mansion this time, because after the spring, Tang Hexi must participate in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites. Tang Situi must push Tang Hexi to the court. Although he did not participate in the provincial examination last fall, he must participate in the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites after the Spring Festival, and then it will be the palace examination. Therefore, this time, Tang Situi must take Tang Hexi to meet the officials in the court. As his friend, how could he be satisfied?"
"What do you mean..." Li Fengniang's charming eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. She didn't expect that her younger brother would finally get enlightened.
"Yes, I know very well that in my name, it is obvious that it is impossible for me to invite him to our house. He will only prepare a generous gift to send it, but people must go to the Prince's Mansion. But if you add the name of your princess, Tang Hexi must have some consideration. I am afraid that even the old Tang Situi will consider it carefully. Is it Tang Hexi who comes to our house and gives you the princess, and the future queen will be better, or is it more important to go to the Prince's Mansion?" Li Lifang said in the end, and could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart, haha laughed.
As soon as he thought that when his invitation, signed by Li Fengniang, fell into Tang Hexi's hands, Tang Situi and Tang Hexi frowned, and hesitated indecisively, Li Lifang seemed extremely happy.
After all, Tang Situi needs to be considered seriously. It is more important to meet Tang Hexi with the Ministry of Rites and other court officials, or it is more important to have a good relationship with the current Crown Princess and the future queen.
So in Li Lifang's view, this is a dilemma that completely makes Tang Hexi difficult to make a decision and cannot solve.
Ignoring the invitation signed by Li Fengniang, I will definitely offend the current crown princess. The future queen will naturally indicate that the young Tang Hexi will definitely not have a smooth future career, because the current crown princess is the future queen.
But if he agreed to this invitation from him and Li Fengniang, Tang Hexi knew very well that Li Lifang was no longer the second generation ancestor who let him fool and bewitch him at will. Ye Qing slapped Li Lifang and the arrow, Tang Hexi would have to bear half of the responsibility.
So for Tang Hexi, accepting invitations and coming to Li Lifang's house to congratulate Li Fengniang on becoming the crown princess is definitely a thankless task, or even an accidental thing that will cause trouble.
Tang Situi held the invitation, his expression was so serious and solemn that he had never seen before, and he watched the three words signed by Li Fengniang. He could not make a decision for a long time. What should he do!
Tang Shuo was next to him, looking impatient. In his opinion, the grandfather and grandson were too cautious and even seemed a little timid. In this case, even if Tang Hexi entered the court in the future, it would definitely not be a big deal!
