In the afternoon of that day, King Yu hurriedly came to Xuelu to seek advice, Mei Changsu invited him to take a seat, King Yu looked around, his eyes stopped at the pavilion in the courtyard outside.

Mei Changsu also looked at it, and said to King Yu with a smile, "I made Prince Yu laugh, this young girl Leng Shuang always causes trouble."

King Yu looked at the woman in red playing the piano in the pavilion, "Today, Mr. Su defeated many literati and sages in Jinling with only one maid in Wenyuan Pavilion. This king has also heard a little bit about it today."

Mei Changsu smiled helplessly, "It's just Leng Shuang's little skill, and it's not a serious competition, it's just a trick."

King Yu laughed loudly, "Mr. Su is indeed a great talent, he didn't even take this competition to heart. If it was someone else, he would have been overjoyed. How could he still listen to the music calmly like Mr. Su."

Mei Changsu shook his head helplessly, Yu Wang was puzzled.

Mei Changsu explained to King Yu in a low voice, "I just said a few words to this girl when I came back. If I don't play the piano all afternoon, it will disturb people's peace." hurricane.Mei Changsu was startled, and spilled the tea in his hand.

King Yu coughed dryly and hid his smile.

"The people around Mr. Su are all great talents. It's normal to have a temper occasionally. Mr. Su doesn't need to take it to heart."

Mei Changsu shook his head, and glanced at the nun's book that had been discarded on the table.He lowered his head and poured tea for the two of them, "I don't know what His Highness Yuwang is talking about today."

King Yu's face darkened slightly, "To tell you the truth, my father ordered the restoration of the Yue clan today."

"The Yue clan designed Princess Nihuang in his own palace. The evidence is conclusive. Even if His Majesty favors the Yue clan, it is impossible for him to be restored without a reason."

"It was Chen Yuanzhi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, who wrote a letter to his father, saying that because the end-of-year ceremony is based on the ancestral system, the prince should help his parents to show his filial piety. The Yue noble concubine was demoted to a concubine, and her status naturally could not go to the altar to accept the prince's kneeling, so your majesty reinstated Established the position of noble concubine of the Yue clan."

"It seems that everyone must have forgotten one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"The aunt is still there, and the noble concubine is only a side concubine. Although the prince is born of a noble concubine, he is not a direct son. If it is according to the etiquette system, he should also support the queen's dress. The Yue family has been favored by everyone these years. Whether it is intentional or unintentional is ignored. Such an unruly way." Mei Changsu looked at King Yu.

King Yu was taken aback, "That's right, he should be helping my mother's queen dress."

Mei Changsu smiled, but remained silent.

King Yu is so smart, he thought for a while, "Sir, what you mean is that the crown prince is not a legitimate son, but a concubine like me. If something happens in the future, everyone can't say anything, and my mother's status will also be greatly improved. Mister is indeed a great talent, but the etiquette has always been in charge of the etiquette department, so I don't count it if I say it."

Mei Changsu nodded, "With your influence in the court Yu Wang, it is not a problem to have a court debate."

King Yu hesitated a bit, "There have been debates in court since ancient times. I have made friends with many sages in the world over the past few years, and it is easy to win him in the debate. It's just that the restoration of the Yue clan is the intention of the father. Bringing up the court debate will annoy the emperor."

Mei Changsu smiled faintly, "Your Majesty's favor will always be won again in the future, but the chance to hit the crown prince is very rare. Wang Yuwang will make a decisive decision, so don't miss this opportunity."

After King Yu left, Leng Shuang walked in, "Sir, this Prince Yu is really a hypocrite, Shuang'er teeth can't help being flattered."

Mei Changsu looked at the "Nu Shu" on the table, and motioned for Leng Shuang to pick it up, "Go and memorize it soon."

Leng Shuang came over bit by bit, pinched the "Nv Shu" with her two fingertips, and shook it gently, "Sir, it's scary to think about such a boring book in my mind. Besides, I'm already old enough to learn Nvshu. And I'm dignified..." Mei Changsu stared at Leng Shuang, and Leng Shuang's voice became lower and lower, "What kind of Nvshu does a Jiang Hu person read? The subordinates still laughed when they saw it and dropped their jaws."

Mei Changsu remained silent, stared at by a gentle man with insight into the world, whom he loved again. Leng Shuang's face flushed slightly, he turned around and walked out with the book in his hand, sat in the booth and began to read.

Mei Changsu smiled and pulled out his small wooden sign: Ning Guohou.

"" ""

The next afternoon.

"Leader, tomorrow is the court discussion ceremony, why is this King Yu coming again?" Just after King Yu left, Li Gang asked curiously.

Mei Changsu tapped on the table thinking for a while, "Where is Leng Shuang?"

"Uh, they said something happened and went out."

Mei Changsu looked at Li Gang, and picked up an invitation.This was handed over by the servant of Princess Nihuang today, saying that she invited Mei Changsu to enjoy the plum blossoms in the garden of Prince Mu's Mansion.

"Li Gang, prepare the carriage." Mei Changsu handed the invitation to Li Gang, who took it with his hand. "Do you need to wait for Miss Lengshuang?"

"No need, she left on purpose, so how can you wait." Mei Changsu went into the bedroom to change clothes.Li Gang looked at the exquisite invitation, and felt a little worried about Leng Shuang for some reason.

"" ""

In the back garden of Prince Mu's Mansion, Mei Changsu and Princess Nihuang walked side by side.Princess Nihuang's clothes are gorgeous and her make-up is exquisite. It can be seen that she has been carefully dressed, and she looks more dignified and beautiful under the plum tree.

Mei Changsu's eyes kept flashing the appearance of Nihuang when he was a child, like a sparrow, constantly circling around him.At that time, she was still a carefree little girl who liked to laugh and make troubles. After many years, standing here was the commander-in-chief of the army who was in charge of hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the southern border and made Nanyue's face change.

Mei Changsu looked at the commoner clothes he was wearing, and secretly sighed that the past is hard to get back.At this moment, Leng Shuang's voice suddenly appeared in his mind: I love Mei Changsu, but I don't know who Lin Shu is.

A smile immediately appeared on Mei Changsu's face, and Nihuang couldn't help asking, "Why are you so happy to remember, sir?"

"It's nothing, the princess's plum blossoms here are very good, and it must be second to none in Jinling." Mei Changsu looked at the plum blossoms beside him.

"Of course my family isn't the only one who blooms well in Jinling's plum groves. It's just that the situation in the court is changing, and now I don't have the heart to appreciate the plum blossoms."

"When I heard that Concubine Yue was restored, I thought the Princess must be very angry. When I saw her today, Su was overthinking it."

Princess Nihuang laughed at herself, "Qing'er was very angry when the Yue clan was restored. I just knew in my heart that His Majesty doesn't care about us other than the imperial power. The restoration of the Yue clan will happen sooner or later. What's the use of being angry?"

"Hearing what the princess said, I must be still angry. Why don't you ask Mu Qing to do me a favor."

"How can Mu Qing help?" Princess Nihuang stood still facing Mei Changsu.

"King Yu said at the court today that the crown prince Fuyue's noble concubine's dress name was not right, and the court was arguing endlessly, so he was preparing for the court debate tomorrow. Mu Qing went to invite an old gentleman to help Yu Wang win the debate."

"Mr. Su seems to be helping King Yu?"

Mei Changsu smiled, "Whether it's the crown prince or Yuwang, even Prince Jing is not the queen's direct son, no one is more noble than the other."

When Princess Nihuang heard this, she thought about what happened a few days ago, "Mr. Su didn't help the crown prince, but also gave him substantial benefits to Prince Yu. When you mention Prince Jing here, does Mr. Su really intend to support Prince Jing?" ?”

"The princess is worthy of being handsome, that's right, he is Prince Jing."

"Prince Jing's character is upright. If he had half a heart to seize the throne, he wouldn't have been exiled and stayed away from the court for more than ten years."

"Times have changed, how can even a dignified man not have the heart to win the heir, not to mention that this court should have a bright sky."

"It seems that Prince Jing is the best candidate in Mr. Shu's heart. If so, what do you need Qing'er to do?"

Mei Changsu took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Princess Nihuang, Princess Nihuang took it and opened it, it read: Zhou Xuanqing at Lingyin Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Princess Nihuang smiled and said, "Prince Jing has such a talent as Mr. Su, I'm afraid the day will not be far away when he enters the court."

Mei Changsu gave a salute to Princess Nihuang, "Princess Miao praises it, Su is also very happy to help Princess Nihuang slap Concubine Yue hard."

"I, Prince Mu's Mansion, have never participated in court battles. I think Mr. Su knows that Nihuang may not be able to repay his kindness this time."

"The princess misunderstood. Su didn't intend to help the princess, but just couldn't understand how the court treats meritorious ministers so lightly."

"It seems that Mr. Su is also a man of temperament."

"If everything in the world is seen through, I'm afraid I've already become a monk, so why bother to enter Jinling, and I will have to work harder for Mu Qing in the court discussion tomorrow."

"I'm afraid Mu Qing can't get what he wants. Nihuang will wait here for the result of the court debate tomorrow."

"" ""

As soon as Mei Changsu entered the study, he saw Leng Shuang leaning on the seat where he often sat, reading a book, the title of which was exactly the "Nu Shu" that Mei Changsu had given her.

Mei Changsu took off his cloak with a smile, sat on his side and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Why are you so well-behaved today, you want to read a book." Mei Changsu handed the teacup to Leng Shuang.

Leng Shuang pouted and gave Mei Changsu a sideways glance, then continued to read.

Mei Changsu put the cup on the table and picked up the book to read.

Seeing that Mei Changsu was ignoring her, Leng Shuang put down her book and sat up and covered Mei Changsu's legs with a small blanket.

Mei Changsu looked at Leng Shuang who was seriously covering himself with a blanket, with a doting smile on his face, "Why, I'm not happy when I know I'm going to Prince Mu's Mansion."

Leng Shuang shook her head, "Mister must have a purpose in going here, otherwise you wouldn't rush to Prince Mu's Mansion as soon as Prince Yu left."

"Duplicity, this shadow that is never far away from the left and right on weekdays, why did it run out without the master today."

"Sigh, Princess Nihuang doesn't like me. A woman's intuition is terrible, sir, she will definitely recognize you."

"If you recognize it, you will recognize it."

"Sir, it's easy to say, but I'm the one who suffers. Think about it, I'm a reckless man, but I have to face the dignified princes." Leng Shuang was full of distress, holding Mei Changsu's hand and fiddling with it.

Mei Changsu didn't pay attention to Leng Shuang's nagging, and just let her torture his fingers.

Success or failure depends only on whether Mu Qing can invite Mr. Zhou Xuanqing tomorrow.
