In Huangzhuang, there are other people's eyes and ears everywhere. What happened to Li Shu was reported to the emperor in less than a quarter of an hour.

The emperor stared at the paper in his hand, his eyes dim.Eunuch An lowered his head and studied the ink, not daring to disturb him.

After a while, Eunuch An heard the emperor's voice with unknown meaning.

"When did King Qin have friendship with the eldest son of the Li family? I don't even know about it! Eunuch An, what do you think about this?"

After speaking, he handed the paper full of words to Mr. An, who took it and folded it after reading it.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, there are so many twists and turns in this matter. It is nothing more than that Mr. Rong Xiao despised the imperial power and questioned His Majesty's decision. The King of Qin happened to pass by and helped Lord Li out of the siege once."

"You mean, they don't have friendship?"

"Your Majesty, think about it. His Royal Highness King Qin only returned to Beijing half a year ago. Before that, he had been staying at the border. As we all know, Master Li is in poor health and rarely goes out. There is such a long distance between the two, how could there be any intersection? Besides, After His Royal Highness Prince Qin returned to Beijing, Master Li has been studying hard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is even more impossible for the two of them to meet each other."

Eunuch An arched his body, and slowly said his thoughts: "If there is any possible intersection between the two, it is only when Mr. Li was framed."

"You're right. Xuan'er has always had problems with Prime Minister Zuo because of what happened back then. Li Shu is the eldest son who is valued by Prime Minister Zuo. How could Xuan'er befriend Li Shu without any grudges?"

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows. He had just finished handling a large number of memorials and was a little tired. Eunuch An promptly brought the hot tea that had been prepared.

The emperor took a sip from his teacup: "The Luming Banquet should begin, I'll go over and have a look."

The emperor had been notified before that he would attend the Luming Banquet. In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, Qi Mingxuan led the imperial army to garrison in the Huangzhuang in advance, and everyone who entered and exited would be carefully interrogated.

Some ministers were unhappy in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces. Nonsense, if something happened to the emperor, who would be able to bear the responsibility?

After solving Rong Xiao's matter, Qi Mingxuan didn't leave immediately, if he didn't leave, Li Shu couldn't leave first.

The two stood in a remote corner without saying a word.

[Host, the hero is looking at you. ] 1314 really couldn't hold back, reminded.

[I know. ] How could Li Shu not feel such obvious gazes on his body?He was just a little strange, obviously the male protagonist in the plot given by the system is a cold-hearted person, judging from the few times he has been in contact with the male protagonist, why didn't he see this at all?

[The host please don't question the plot given by the system, the hero just didn't show this side in front of the host. ]

[Don't you think it's a little weird?In the original plot, the hero didn't hold back in the slightest in front of the heroine, why is he standing alone in front of me...]

[Maybe because the host saved him? ] 1314's voice is getting weaker and weaker. This conclusion is obviously untenable. In the original plot, the female protagonist also saved the male protagonist, and the male protagonist should not do so.

"You have to be careful in the future." Various thoughts swirled in his mind, Qi Mingxuan had too many questions to ask, and in the end he only said this one sentence.

"I know, thank you for reminding me, Your Highness." Li Shu turned around and smiled again generously. No matter what Qi Mingxuan was thinking, he felt his kindness.

Seeing Li Shu's smiling face, Qi Mingxuan's lips moved, as if he had something to say, Li Shu waited for a while, only to say "The Banquet of Luming is about to begin, you should go to the front hall".

Now that the hero has said so, Li Shu will not stay any longer, and leave first after resigning.

Qi Mingxuan stood where he was, watching Li Shu walk out of his sight step by step, the same as last time, except that last time it was because he was unable to chase, but this time it was because he was unable to chase.

A deep sense of powerlessness swept over him, just like when he was a child, he couldn't protect the things he loved, so he could only protect them by staying away and pretending not to care. Now, does he still want to do this?

No, it's different now than when he was a child. He has the ability to protect what he likes, and he will get what he likes and wants!

The blackness in his eyes surged, like a bottomless sea, all kinds of dangers were hidden under the seemingly calm sea surface, no one found it.

He didn't know why he cared so much about Li Shu, he wanted to see him smile, he didn't want to see him being hurt, he wanted to build a strong fortress, hide people inside, and not be hurt by any outside world.

Of course, he knew that his idea was absurd. He and Li Shuman had only met less than five times, not to mention that nothing had happened between them these few times. disgusted.

Not a while after Li Shu left, he was stopped by Yu Rongxiu who was waiting not far away: "His Royal Highness King Qin came out to speak for you just now, it scared me to death."

"I don't remember you being so timid?" Li Shu asked with a smile.

"I'm quite courageous, but I can't resist His Royal Highness King Qin being scary." Yu Rongxiu muttered in a low voice, who knows the prestige of King Qin Qi Mingxuan?That can scare a disobedient child into tears. It is normal for him to be frightened by what happened just now.

"By the way, are you alright, did His Highness King Qin make things difficult for you?" Yu Rongxiu asked worriedly, he really didn't believe that King Qin would kindly rescue his friend.

Li Shu was helpless: "What can I do? His Royal Highness King Qin only asked the imperial army to take those few people down. Am I not standing in front of you now?"

"It's fine, but why did those people choose this time to come to you? Do you have old grievances?" What kind of place is the Lu Ming Banquet, how could someone not think about it and come out to make trouble at this time.

"I've never met these people, let alone had a grudge against them." Li Shu also really wanted to know what happened to these people?

He is the eldest son of Zuo Xiang Licheng, the number one scholar hand-picked by the emperor, and he has won the favor of the emperor. If there is no accident, he will definitely have a lot of official careers in the future. What kind of brains do those people have to come to him at this pass? trouble.

"The leader is from the Rong family, right? I heard that a junior in the Rong family is about to enter the officialdom. Do you think you are in his way?" Thinking of some rumors in the market, Yu Rongxiu's face changed slightly, and the Rong family That person has a lot of misdeeds, but his family is powerful, and all the incidents that have arisen have been suppressed.

"Isn't there no conflict between the people we passed the imperial examination and those who directly entered the officialdom?" If he didn't follow the path of entering the officialdom through the imperial examination, he might be hated by Rong Xiao.

While talking, the two had already reached the front yard, and the number of people around gradually increased, and the two stopped continuing this topic.

Compared with the place where they stayed just now, this place looked like a real banquet was held, with bright lights, intertwined cups and cups, and it was very lively.

This Luming Banquet was the first official appearance of their candidates. Li Shu and Yu Rongxiu, the number one and the second, appeared together, and officials who knew them soon came forward.

Li Shu and Yu Rongxiu looked at each other, then walked in two different directions.

To be honest, Li Shu doesn't like this kind of official entertainment very much.Sometimes, he feels that he can't understand human beings. He obviously hates you, but he can pretend to be very friendly with you on the surface. Fortunately, he doesn't need to deal with these officials in his future.

But there are not a few people who come to Li Shu now, one is because of the emperor's attitude towards him, who doesn't know that the top scholar in this discipline won a lot of rewards for the first time when he met the saint, and was asked about his physical condition by the emperor himself, which is unique to him Second, it is because of his status. Unlike ordinary poor students, Li Shu is the eldest son of Zuo Xiang Licheng. This level of status alone is enough to make some people flock to him.

Even if Li Shu doesn't like this kind of entertainment, it's impossible to ignore these people directly now. His behavior can't be faulted, at most it will make people think that he is a bit cold-tempered.

Li Shu held up his wine glass, clinked with another official who came forward to say "Congratulations", and drank it down in one gulp.

"Zhuangyuan Lang has a good drinker!" A middle-aged man wearing an official robe not far away came with a smile, "This is better than your father."

Zuo Xiang Licheng is not good at drinking, this is a well-known secret in the capital.

"Why, just because I don't know how to drink doesn't mean my son doesn't know how to drink. Don't call me when you drink in the future, so you don't dislike me here." Li Cheng's voice came from the other side, with a faint smile.

"I didn't say anything." The middle-aged man waved his hands repeatedly.

"Father." Li Shu put down his wine glass and saluted the person coming.

[Host, the plot point has begun. ]

As soon as the system's notification tone fell, a servant hurried over: "It's not good——"
