After rebirth, I became the villain's Mr.

Weiguo has an unwritten rule that a peach and plum banquet will be held every few months.

Originally, the Peach and Plum Banquet was a day for gentlemen who worked in the royal family to gather with their students, because non-official scholars and even famous talented women were also allowed to participate. an opportunity.

Tao Jiusi remembered this peach and plum banquet. Although Wei Chengxue was allowed to participate for the first time, it was at this banquet that he met his future right-hand man Ji Yuanfei.

After Wei Lingxue asked him if he would attend that day, Tao Jiusi thought about it seriously for a few days, not because he was hesitant to go, but because he wanted to stop Wei Lingxue from going to the banquet.

After thinking about it, Tao Jiusi felt that what should come will always come, and it is useless to stop him for a while. The most important thing is to educate him well and let him know the morality of the king.

The days passed quickly, and it was July in a blink of an eye, and the Peach and Plum Banquet was held in Jingluo City as scheduled.

This time it was the turn of Wei Huaili, who has always been a self-proclaimed literati and poet, to host. He has been in the literary world for a long time, and his appeal is naturally not small. In addition, he can easily capture the arty, this peach and plum banquet is unprecedentedly lively and extraordinary.

When Tao Jiusi and Wei Chengxue entered the courtyard, the inside was already bustling with unprecedented grandeur, gifted scholars and beauties, nobles and white-clothed people, regardless of each other, gathered in groups of three or four.

But as soon as Wei Lingxue appeared, everyone in the courtyard seemed to have been pressed the pause button instantly. Those who were holding glasses forgot to clink their glasses, those who talked eloquently closed their mouths, and those who were silent also opened their eyes wide.

This icy and cool young man has a stunning face, and anyone who sees it will feel ashamed. However, this young man is expressionless and does not look sideways. It makes people think of the white snow on the Jiutian Mountain for no reason. No time, but hard to get close to.

Someone in the crowd yelled: "His Royal Highness is here too", everyone just woke up like a dream, and it turned out that this person is the first prince with an unlucky birth!Hey, it doesn't matter how amazing her appearance is, she is not unfavored.

For a while, there were whispers in the courtyard.

On the right is a young man in white waving a feather fan: "Who am I? It turns out that I am David's number one broom star."

A beautiful young girl on the left: "What kind of clothes are you wearing? Are you really a prince?"

A middle-aged scribe in gold and silver in the front: "Yes, the jade wrench in his hand is worth a little money. It's so shabby, it's really embarrassing for us David."

Wei Lingxue turned a deaf ear to it, still held his chest up and walked forward with strides.

Tao Jiusi glanced at Wei Lingxue, the clothes were given to him by himself, the shoes were made by Nanny Gui, his black hair was half tied on the top of his head, and only a silver hairpin was pinned to his right hand hanging by his side. A jade ring finger is said to have been left to him by his grandfather in the early years.

Although simple and elegant, but with an awe-inspiring demeanor, why do these people say that about him.

Tao Jiusi stopped in his tracks, and said to the people who were chewing their tongues: "Why don't you worship His Highness when you see him? Your Highness is dressed plainly, but does not change his noble status. You are well-dressed, but have you ever heard of wearing monkeys and wearing crowns?"

The middle-aged scribe took a step forward and said contemptuously, "Which onion are you, brat? Those who dare to point at Sang and Huai are scolding me!"

Wei Lingxue left and returned, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi stood in front of Tao Jiusi, and said coldly: "The words are vulgar, I think he is not the literati invited by the third brother. Hua Yuntai, drive this person out for the third brother. "

As soon as Wei Lingxue's words fell, Hua Yuntai flew in from nowhere, picked up the bloated middle-aged scribe, like a chick that had just broken its eggshell, and jumped, and the two disappeared together.

Those who were talking about Wei Lingxue just now couldn't help but gasped, and took a few steps back quietly, deciding to stay as far away from these two as possible.

At this moment, Xia Kaiyan and Fang Zongqi finally squeezed to Tao Jiusi's side.Without waiting for Tao Jiusi to introduce to Wei Lingxue, Xia Kaiyan said, "This is Your Highness, right? My minister Xia Kaiyan is Tao Jiusi's colleague and friend."

Fang Zongqi also introduced himself in this way.

These two people seemed to be very curious about Wei Chengxue, they ignored Tao Jiusi, surrounded Wei Chengxue from left to right, asked questions, and chatted.

Tao Jiusi shook his head with a smile, glanced out of the corner of his eye, but saw a familiar and fearful figure, it was Ji Yuanfei who had been talking about in his heart a few days ago.

In her previous life, Tao Jiusi felt that Ji Yuanfei was a terrible person, and that he and Wei Chengxue were like dogs, and when the two of them got together, they would be working hand in hand, a wolf in power.

Right now Ji Yuanfei is standing alone, surrounded by people drinking wine, but no one wants to talk to a middle-aged man like him who is still unknown.Look at Wei Nexue being entangled by Xia Kaiyan and the others, and he will not be able to get away for a while.Tao Jiu thought for a moment, then smiled and greeted him.

"I don't know the name of this gentleman?" Tao Jiusi asked with a smile.After getting along with Wei Lingxue, the biggest demon in the previous life, looking at Ji Yuanfei, his heart is no longer frightened.

Ji Yuanfei also cupped his hands, and responded with a smile: "Next Ji Yuanfei, a grassroots person, will be honored to have Tao Xiuzhuan consult him."

Tao Jiusi: "Do you recognize me?"

Ji Yuanfei: "You are accompanied by His Royal Highness, there should be no doubt that Tao Xiu wrote it."

Tao Jiusi saw him talking and laughing calmly and calmly, he didn't seem to be dissatisfied because no one paid attention to him, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration in his heart.

Tao Jiusi looked directly at Ji Yuanfei: "Mr. Ji is here to look for Bole?"

Ji Yuanfei laughed: "I've been studying for 35 years, just to become a general."

Tao Jiusi: "Why don't you take the road of imperial examinations when you become a general and pay homage to a prime minister?"

Ji Yuanfei clicked his tongue and said, "Tao Xiuzhuan, not everyone can have smooth sailing like you. You are the number one scholar at a young age. I have little talent and bad luck. I have taken the exam many times, and I still only have the status of a candidate."

Although Ji Yuanfei failed in many trials, her mentality was open-minded, and she continued: "At my age, rather than taking the exam obsessively, it's better to find the enlightened master straightforwardly."

Tao Jiusi: "I don't know who Mr. Ji is talking about?"

Ji Yuanfei smiled mysteriously, and said, "Of course it's the First Prince."

Tao Jiusi pretended to be surprised and said: "Although the eldest prince has the status of the eldest son, he has always been disliked by the emperor, and he has been a proton in other countries for several years. Why is Mr. Ji optimistic about him alone?"

Ji Yuanfei said meaningfully: "Wouldn't Tao Xiuzhuan choose the eldest prince over the second prince?"

Tao Jiusi: "I have my own reasons, why do you conclude that the eldest prince is Qianlong?"

Ji Yuanfei: "Just now when the eldest prince entered the door, there was a lot of discussion among the people, but he is as stable as a rock, without losing his demeanor at all."

Tao Jiusi also agreed with Ji Yuanfei's words, but still asked, "But didn't he make a move after that?"

Ji Yuanfei: "The eldest prince can frighten the situation with just a few words, it can be said to be a fatal blow."

In summary of Ji Yuanfei's words, Wei Chengxue is a person who is patient and resourceful, and who will stop when he decides to do so.

Tao Jiusi: "Mr. Ji sees the big from the small, I admire you."

Tao Jiusi said this from the bottom of his heart. His understanding of Wei Lingxue came from getting along day and night after rebirth, and Ji Yuanfei was able to see through most of Wei Lingxue with just a few words. of things.

Ji Yuanfei said again: "However, although this eldest prince has the appearance of an emperor, he is restricted by his birth. This road is destined to be rough and bumpy."

When Tao Jiusi heard this, he thought, Ji Yuanfei is either wiser than Kong Ming, or he was reborn like him, otherwise how could he predict so accurately?

Tao Jiusi thought up to this point, and tentatively asked: "Sir, did you come to this Peach and Plum Banquet to make friends with the First Prince?"

Ji Yuanfei shook her head, and said sternly: "Not all of them. I wanted to observe and observe first. Which is better between the first prince and the third prince who attended this time. After all, I am not a fairy, and I have never even seen the face of the first prince. , how can we conclude that this person is worth following?"

---

Wei Chengxue and Xia Kaiyan talked, but within a cup of tea, Tao Jiusi disappeared.Wei Lingxue searched the crowd and saw Tao Jiusi talking to a middle-aged scribe. Both of them smiled, and they did not hide their admiration for each other in their eyes.

Wei Lingxue's mind was spinning, planning to go over and make a move, but Tao Jiusi bid farewell to the scribe thoughtfully.

Seeing Wei Lingxue staring at him motionless, Tao Jiusi waved and said, "Take your seat quickly, the poetry meeting will start soon."

Everyone took their seats, Wei Huaili was wearing a snow-white robe, and Shi Shiran walked to the field.

Wei Huaili first made some sour and fake politeness, and then announced the start of the poetry competition.

There are five rounds of the poetry competition, and each round has a different theme. Those who want to participate must complete the poem within the specified time.

In her previous life, Tao Jiusi also came to the Peach and Plum Banquet in July 45.At that time, he accepted the post from the third prince, and originally he didn't want to show up, but when the girl saw her, she pestered him to come and meet the world, so he had no choice but to agree to attend.

At that time, he was an upstart in the officialdom and a rising star in the literary world, and he did not lose the limelight when it came to the poetry competition.

However, at this moment, Tao Jiusi was concentrating on the conversation with Ji Yuanfei just now, completely unaware of what happened on the field.

Wei Lingxue saw that Tao Jiusi had lost his expression after talking with the scribe, so he turned his head to look at the scribe who was far away.

Looking at it, he found that the scribe was touching the cup and looking at Tao Jiusi from a distance, his eyes were unclear and obscure.

Wei Lingxue didn't know what the two of them talked about, nor why the two of them were in such a situation. For the first time, the young man felt an urgent anxiety in his heart.

Wei Lingxue turned sideways, blocking Tao Jiusi who was meditating, and blocking Ji Yuanfei's sight.

Wei Lingxue pulled Tao Jiusi's sleeve to his ear and whispered, "Sir, what are you thinking?"

Tao Jiusi was startled, regained consciousness from the memory of his previous life, stared at Wei Lingxue for a long time, and said as if making up his mind: "Just now I had a few words with a scholar surnamed Ji, this person is very eloquent, the eldest prince may wish to pay attention , will be of great help in the future.”

Wei Lingxue frowned, and looked back at Ji Yuanfei, and saw that the latter had withdrawn his gaze at this time, and was sitting lonely on the table, drinking one cup after another, neither writing poems nor talking to others.

Just as Wei Lingxue was about to ask in detail, Jiang Wenyuan, the son of Jiang Ziheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them with a jug of wine.
