Haoran Academy, Wangyou Lake.

Shan Chang is fishing.

"Master, you have been fishing for two hours, and you haven't taken the bait yet."

Long Qingquan has been standing by the side, already exhausted.

He yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Why don't we use our true energy to shake the fish out of the lake. It's not easy for you to eat fish, so why bother?"

The head of the mountain turned his head and glared at Long Qingquan: "Nonsense! It's so easy to control the true energy, and it will kill the fish if you don't pay attention. The taste of the live fish is not comparable to that of the dead fish."

"Third brother, learn more from your two senior sisters. Fishing should be calm and calm."

Long Qingquan had no choice but to respond in a low voice.

"Little 72, nothing happened these few days, right?"

The head of the mountain asked leisurely.

"That day, Junior Brother returned to Duke Cheng's mansion after leaving the academy, so he should stay in the mansion all these days."

"He's quite calm."

The head of the mountain smiled lightly and said: "Actually, this is also very good. There will always be people who can't hold back their temper."

As soon as he finished speaking, his fishing rod shook violently.

The mountain chief laughed and said, "Look, the fish has taken the bait."

Imperial City, East Palace.

Crown Prince Li Xiankun sat cross-legged on a futon and meditated.

Influenced by his father Emperor Xianlong, Li Xiankun was also very interested in Taoism.

It's just that as the prince of the East Palace, he can't blatantly invite Taoist priests into the palace to ask questions, and can only understand by studying Taoist classics by himself.

After taking a few breaths, Li Xiankun felt refreshed, and his whole body was ecstatic.

Opening his eyes, the prince stood up slowly, cleared his throat and said, "Come on, change clothes."

He was a very devout Taoist believer when he was practicing Taoism, but most of the time he lived in the secular world.

He is the Prince of the East Palace, the second most noble man in the Great Zhou Empire.

It is true that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Only by wearing that boa robe can he show his identity and his nobility.

At the order of the crown prince, more than a dozen young court ladies in palace attire and skirts filed in.

They held black lacquered wooden trays in their hands. Inside the wooden trays were inner clothes, outer robes, jade belts, crowns, boots...

As the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a complete set of procedures just for changing clothes.

He has long been used to it, and he still has some enjoyment.

Letting the ladies in the court work on him, the prince finally put on the python robe after some fiddling.

The reason why he was dressed so formally was because the prince was going to meet someone.

Her niece, daughter of Li Xiang, king of Qi, Li Taiping, head of Yonghe County.

But it was said that the prince came down to the main hall surrounded by all the court ladies and eunuchs, and sat on the main throne.

Then he ordered softly: "Please come in, Lord Yonghe."

He has loved this niece since he was a child, but as a crown prince, he is bound by the rules of etiquette, so there is no shortage of red tape.

Even if he wanted to meet his niece, he had to go through a complete process.

About thirty breaths later, Li Taiping Shi Shiran walked into the hall, bowed to the crown prince and said: "My daughter Li Taiping pays homage to His Royal Highness the crown prince."

The prince is the crown prince and the half-lord.

Although Li Taiping is a daughter of the clan, there is nothing wrong with calling herself a courtier's daughter.

With a smile on his face, the prince waved his hand and said, "Come here, give the seat of Yonghe County Lord."

The eunuch immediately moved a Jindun and placed it beside Li Taiping.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness."

Li Taiping gave another blessing, and then sat down respectfully.

Although she was sitting, her upper body was straight and she did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"You all leave."

The prince looked around, and said with a dignified order.

All the maids and eunuchs immediately left the hall half-backed.

In the East Palace, the Crown Prince is the absolute authority.

There is only one sun in the East Palace, which is the prince.

All subordinate officials, court ladies, and eunuchs played games around the prince.

So in any case, they can't go against the will of the prince.

After all the maids and eunuchs left the palace, the prince got up from the throne and walked quickly to Li Taiping's side.

"My dear niece, why did you come to see Gu in the palace this time?"

Without outsiders, the prince changed his tone completely, just like ordinary people's homes.

As a result, Li Taiping also felt a lot more relaxed.

"Uncle Huang, it's like this. Isn't it the capital's festival banquet in a few days? My niece wants to attend, but my father won't allow me. My niece has no choice but to come and beg Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang always loves me the most. help me."

Li Taiping acted coquettishly suddenly, which caught the prince off guard.

"Ahem, this is the matter."

If Li Taiping had asked for other things, the crown prince would most likely agree to it right away.

But this request made the prince feel a little embarrassed.

After all, the Jiedushi Jingshi Banquet is the most important event this year.

The father attached great importance to this matter, and ordered the Shenwu Army, Longwu Army, and bad people to be responsible for the safety of the banquet.

In the royal family, apart from the father, only the prince and the princes who stayed in Beijing are eligible to participate in the banquet.

Clan girls like Li Taiping are absolutely not qualified.

Otherwise, if there were hundreds of clans in the capital, if they all went to the banquet, it wouldn't be a vegetable market.

"This matter is a little difficult. I am afraid that the father will not allow it."

The prince sighed: "It's not that the emperor is unwilling to help you, but that he is really powerless."

The prince spread his hands, indicating that he was helpless.

Li Taiping's expression darkened upon hearing this.

He understood what the prince said.

Everything about the royal family revolves around the emperor.

The emperor's will cannot be violated.

What's more, he is still the prince.

"Since that's the case, my niece can think of other ways. Thank you, Uncle Huang."

"My dear niece, please ask me one more question, why do you suddenly want to attend this banquet?"

"This…"

When asked by the prince, Li Taiping blushed for a moment.

"how?"

The more Li Taiping was like this, the more puzzled the prince was.

"Could it be..."

"Uncle, don't think too much."

"Don't you think too much? How can you not think too much?"

The prince said indifferently: "In the past, your temperament would never participate in these banquets. Why did you suddenly change your temperament? Could it be that your good niece wants to choose a husband from all the envoys?"

"What did the emperor say, how could..."

"Haha, what is there to be embarrassed about? Jiedu envoys are all the best among men, and you are also a clan girl. Naturally, you have to choose outstanding people when you choose a husband. But Jiedu envoys will stay at the border for a long time, and you should think about it, good niece. If it is true If you marry Jiedushi, you are afraid that you will leave Chang'an."

"Uncle, I really don't have one."

Li Taiping bit his lips, hesitated for a long time and said: "I already have a sweetheart."

"Oh? Which lord is so lucky?"

"Zhao Xun, the son of Duke Cheng."

Li Taiping said timidly.

"That bad guy Zhao Xun?"

The prince frowned.
