Yueli said: "Now we are in the capital, without you, Sister He, we will ignore you when we are busy as a teacher, why don't you go to a government school?"

After hearing this, Li Wan acted coquettishly and said: "There are books written by the master. I can study them by myself. If there are things I don't understand, I can ask the master. I don't need to go to the government to study, and I am not willing to go."

Yueli patted Li Wan's head and said, "You always need some friends in the capital, and it's good for you to spend more time with people of your age, good boy."

Li Wan nodded reluctantly.

In the evening, Feng Qiyue really came to pick up Yueli and entered the palace together. When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they happened to meet King Xiping's carriage, and everyone got out of the carriage. I saluted.

Seeing Yueli, Feng Wanchen asked, "Xie Mian, are you entering the palace with the empress?"

Yue Li smiled and said: "The Minister's Mansion is very close to the Tai Nu Mansion of His Royal Highness, and I am grateful that His Highness will not give up and bring me into the palace together."

Seeing the two talking, Feng Qiyue said calmly: "Let's go."

Yueli bid farewell to Feng Wanchen and followed Feng Qiyue into the carriage, and waited until the princess's carriage entered the palace gate, Feng Wanchen withdrew his gaze from the two and turned back into his own carriage. It's already here, and I'm very surprised to see Yueli who came here with the empress dowager, Mr. Xie is such a good way, is he so acquainted with the empress dowager?

Everyone rushed over to see the ceremony. At this time, King Xiping also arrived, and everyone saluted for a while. Prime Minister Yan, Prime Minister Fang, and Zhou Qi did not arrive, but a group of young officials. Fang, and the rest of the officials are arranged according to rank.

Yueli found that the poor family and the officials of the gentry basically sat in two rows facing each other, and she was arranged in the row of gentry officials, and the one sitting opposite was Murong Bai, but she didn't seem to know herself, and beside her was Zeng Bai. Ji Moji's student who met once in Yongcheng, the current Ji Zhuangyuan, and a few gentry officials Yueli looked familiar to him, they were just a few of those who had competed with Yueli in Yongcheng, but They came to the capital before the last game, and now everyone met, Yueli smiled at them, they smiled with a slightly embarrassed expression and bowed to Yueli, Yueli knew that they were embarrassed and ignored them .

Jimo and Yueli sat together, and they had no friendship at all. The banquet started, and the two of them smiled politely and drank two glasses of wine, enjoying the singing and dancing, and stopped talking.

After drinking for three rounds and singing and dancing, everyone gradually let go. The poor family and the noble officials have been fighting for a long time. They both dislike each other and want to make a fool of each other. All the students showed their talents, and the empress readily agreed. In such a poor family and noble officials, you come and go, and you start to write poems and paint, and you ridicule me. You are so lively. Yueli is drinking and watching the fun, and there are officials who come to toast , Yue Li never refuses anyone who comes, but at this time there is a trace of drunkenness, Yue Li is appreciating an official's painting with one hand, when a humble official comes over with a wine glass, Yue Li thinks that he is here to toast, so he picks up the glass on the table with one hand. He wanted to drink from the wine glass, but the humble official stopped Yueli and said with a smile: "Master Xie, it's no fun to sit and drink alone, why don't you ask me a question for you, if you answer the question, I'll punish you three times, if you can't answer, How about three glasses of wine?"

Yue Li gently shook the wine in his glass, looked at the official with a smile, and said, "Okay." This was the first person to find fault, even Feng Qiyue and Feng Wanchen put down their glasses and looked at this side , the rest of the officials simply stopped talking and looked at the two of them.

The official smiled and said the question: "There was an employer who agreed to give a guy 12 taels of silver and a robe every year. The guy wanted to leave after working for seven months, but the employer only gave him five taels of silver and a robe. Excuse me." How much is this robe worth?"

The officials of the gentry over there looked very angry. This is clearly a question that Master Ji used to deceive them, and now they are used to test Sir Xie. Sir Xie must have never heard of this question when he first came to the capital. If Sir Xie can’t answer it, today The gentry officials are going to be ashamed!

Yueli supported his forehead with one hand and said with a smile: "It's four taels of silver." Jimo who was next to him suddenly looked at Yueli when he heard Yueli's answer, his eyes fixed on Yueli's face.

The humble official smiled calmly and said: "It was the lower official who lost, and the lower official punished himself with three glasses." He picked up the flagon on the table and poured himself three glasses of wine and drank it all.

Just as she put down the jug and was about to go back to her seat, Yue Li chuckled and said, "Wait."

The official turned around and looked at Yueli in puzzlement, Yueli said: "It's not rude to come and not go, why don't I ask you a question, if you answer the question, I will punish myself with three cups, if you can't answer, I will also punish you." How about three glasses of wine?" Those officials who had competed with Yueli before were very excited, and felt that those poor officials were going to be in trouble, and their classmates and friends who have not entered Beijing are still working as teachers under this subordinate!

The official lowered his face slightly and said, "Of course."

Yueli smiled and asked the question: "Three people are going to stay here today, and they need 30 taels of silver for one night. Each of the three of them took out ten taels of silver to make up enough 30 taels and gave it to the boss. Later, the boss said that today's discounted accommodation in the store only costs 25 taels." The old friend and Xiao Er returned two or five taels of silver to the guests, and Xiao Er secretly hid the two taels of silver, and distributed the remaining three taels of silver to the three guests, and each guest got one tael of silver. In this way, Each of the three guests paid ten taels of silver at the beginning, and now they have returned one tael, that is, they each handed over nine taels of silver. If each of them handed over nine taels of silver, the three actually spent 27 taels of silver, plus The two taels that Er hid totaled 29 taels of silver, so where did the remaining one tael go?"

The official frowned after listening for a long time, and the rest of the officials were also thinking about this question, only to feel that the more they thought about it, the more confused their minds became, but there was no answer. After a long time, the official gave up and said in a deep voice: " It was the lower officials who lost." Then he drank another three cups of wine without stopping and returned to his seat.

All the officials of Shaoqing pretended that this had never happened, and pretended that you came and I went to drink and chant poems. It's just that the humble officials' aura was much lower, and even the officials struggled to glance at Yueli from time to time.

Yueli just didn't know how to continue drinking the wine in his glass, and Ji Mofang next to him came back to look at Yueli and said: "It's you!"

At this moment, Yueli was drunk and looked at Jimo with a light smile, "What am I?"

Seeing Yueli's state of mind, Ji Mo was stunned before he could ask, Feng Qiyue and Feng Wanchen both walked over, Feng Wanchen slightly bent down and said to Yueli: "Xie Mian, you are drunk, this king will send you off." go back."

Yue Li rubbed his forehead and nodded, when he got up he swayed unsteadily, before Feng Wanchen could react, Feng Qiyue stretched out his hand to embrace Yueli and said to Feng Wanchen, "You can't drink too much alone, just right Go back with her, King Xiping will continue to feast with the ministers." After saying that, let Yue Li lean on his shoulder and take Yue Li to the carriage, leaving Ji Mo stunned to see the princess's move, and Feng Wan Chen Wei's face turned cold.

After walking in the palace for a while, Yueli sobered up a little bit from his drunkenness. When he boarded the carriage, he drank hangover soup, and the drunkenness subsided a little, but the wine he drank today felt light in the mouth, but he didn't expect it to have a strong aftertaste. After drinking the hangover soup Unable to suppress the rising drunkenness at this time, Yue Li rubbed the corners of his forehead and supported his forehead to regain consciousness and asked: "Your Highness, why didn't you see the second princess at the palace banquet?"

Feng Qiyue paused and said, "She went hunting in the suburbs of Beijing."

Yueli said: "Hunting in winter is really fun."

Feng Qiyue said: "Are you going to meet this lonely Second Imperial Sister?"

Yueli said slowly: "Since you've come to the capital, why don't you see me?"

Feng Qiyue leaned close to Yueli, looked into Yueli's eyes and asked, "How do you plan to deal with her?"

Yue Li hooked the corners of his lips and said: "The Yan family has withdrawn, the Wang family is in chaos, and the rest of the gentry are trapped in your hands, the crown lady. The Zhou family is now in a siege, if you pull her claws, she will have to let others go." Do whatever you want, it's easy to make Feng Liushang feel so much pain, don't His Highness think so?"

At this moment, Yueli was drunk and blushed, which made her face even more beautiful. Feng Qiyue couldn't help stroking Yueli's cheek with one hand and said in a low voice: "I know I can't hide it from you, but what do you want to do? Gu can never guess."
