The rise of the prince

Chapter 174
In the afternoon of the third day, relatives came to express their condolences to Li Ye one after another. After experiencing a day of turmoil, many people must have received news about his rescue of the emperor.

Most of them were royal relatives, and those who came must come after entering the palace. Everyone brought a brigade to guard the courtyard, and they were obviously still worried.

At this time, it is nothing more than gaining some fame and reputation. After all, saving the driver is a big deal, and it is considered a great reputation, so he can still gain some reputation by offering condolences to rescue the injured.

Don't underestimate this kind of reputation. In the final analysis, reputation is gradually accumulated in this way. Whether it is cheating or hypocrisy, don't you just do nothing?

This is like wanting others to know your deeds and reputation, but holding yourself upright and not doing it, and in the end, you can turn around and blame others for being blind and ignorant of your own talents?
We are all human beings and not gods, if we don't show it to others, how will others understand it.

Therefore, Li Yedao didn't dislike these relatives who came to condolences, but it was troublesome to have so many people, so he took Qiuer Yueer and set up a table at the entrance of the palace, and just sat there.

Waiting at the door, come to greet the other, say a few words, but don't care when entering the mansion, there are strict rules.

In this way, his workload is greatly reduced, and he is not rude. After all, it is such a great etiquette to greet him when he goes out, which makes people speechless.

Everyone came here just to seek fame, and few of them sincerely cared about him, which only added to the chaos. He was injured, so he didn't welcome rudeness. These are the relatives of the emperor, so gossip is inevitable.

If you greet them, the wound will hurt when you touch it. If there is no alcohol, it may cause inflammation of the wound, so Li Ye didn't even think about entertaining them well. They came just to make a good name.

In the end, it was his nominal guardian, his uncle Li Yu, who came.

Li Yu looks to be in his 30s, with a thin complexion, deep eye sockets, a melancholy look, and he doesn't talk much, but he is indeed a handsome old man. No wonder he hangs around the place of fireworks and likes poetry and songs.

This time I also came with my little cousin who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Li Ye has a good impression of him as the emperor's uncle. The last time the palace was in an economic crisis, he gave 3000 taels. Later, he also invited himself and his cousin to pay New Year's greetings. People come to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts.

Li Ye welcomed the two of them into the house. Li Yu was a cowardly and seldom-talking prince, but he couldn't help telling: "You don't have to welcome them if you are injured. Stay in the house and just pretend that you are sick. So what."

Li Ye almost couldn't help laughing, his uncle was like this when he was a child, so you are just an ordinary prince, and you were not crowned king back then.

Although he thought so in his heart, Li Ye naturally expressed his understanding and thanked him for his concern.

Then Li Yu asked some more about his recent situation, and felt ashamed that he, as an uncle, did not do a good job and took good care of him. If you have any difficulties, you can just tell him to wait. Li Ye nodded. He is a strong person, and he usually likes to be elegant and elegant, so he is comfortable to speak.

When it was said that it was almost the same, Li Yu suddenly proposed to let Qiu'er and Yue'er take the little cousin out to play and see the scenery of the palace, Li Ye let the two girls go.

Then he mysteriously took out an invitation card from his sleeve: "On the evening of the ninth day of the lunar new year, uncle is going to hold a dinner party at Fumenglou. You are not too young, so come if you are free."

It turned out that this was the case, no wonder the two maids wanted to take away the little cousin, Fumenglou, a famous brothel in Beijing, and it is also the property of the Tian family in Beijing, the virtuous concubine in the palace, that is, Li Yu's biological mother is the Tian family people.

The old and unscrupulous Li Yu showed him a smile that a man could understand, Li Ye couldn't refuse, how could he refuse such a thing.So he also accepted the invitation, and after a while, the little cousin wanted to find her father, so the two maids brought her back, and Li Yu stopped talking about this topic.

In the afternoon, he wanted to keep them for dinner, but Li Yu was afraid that his wife would scold him, so he said that he would go home to accompany her during the New Year, so he left early.Li Ye couldn't help feeling that his uncle was also a weirdo, who was afraid of his wife and flirtatious at the same time.

Afterwards, Chen Yu from next door also came, which surprised Li Ye, so he went out to meet him himself.

The old man just bowed first and didn't enter the door. He said at the door: "My son is injured, so there is no need to return the salute."

As he said that, he talked to Li Ye outside the door: "Old man heard what happened yesterday, so many ministers must have visited the palace, but they don't think how the emperor can be at peace if it is not the son of the prince, so those who do not worship the son of the prince but worship the emperor first are all clinging to power. .”

"It's cold outside, Mr. Chen should go to the mansion and talk." Li Ye advised him again.

The old man still shook his head: "This time, I came here to thank my son. To save the emperor is to save the country. As a minister, how can I not thank you." Said he put down the crutch in his hand, and thanked him three times, such a great gift to Li Ye There is no way to stop it, knowing that this old man is stubborn.

He can only wait for him to invite him into the mansion again after he salutes.

Chen Yu shook his head, struggling to pick up the crutches. Li Ye hurriedly asked the gatekeeper to help him. After getting the crutches, the old man continued, "Bai Xie is the king of the country, this is the public, but the son hurt the old man at the beginning, almost To death, the old man also remembers this enmity, it is selfish, so the old man does not enter the gate of the palace." Saying this, he left.

Li Ye couldn't laugh or cry, he was really a strange old man.

Halfway through, he turned back and cupped his hands and said, "On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the old man held a Lantern Festival poetry meeting in Yongyue Pavilion, and Wang Shizi will also be there at that time. Of course it is reasonable, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, cleansing himself is also what a gentleman does, you must not deliberately hide your clumsiness, young and vigorous is not a bad thing."

Li Ye nodded. In fact, he didn't know much about it. The old man probably hoped that he could wash away his stigma through the poetry meeting.

After watching him leave, Li Ye returned to the palace, and He Qian, who was alive and well, also came out from the inner hall, and she also came out from the shadow of yesterday, but she didn't leave at this time, but there were so many people that she was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so she kept hiding in the back hall .

In the end, another person came, and Yan Shen hurriedly notified, only then did he realize that it was Gillian who came, and He Qian wanted to hide back, but was stopped by Li Ye: "It is Gillian who came, don't you know Gillian, what are you hiding?" .”

"Oh, yes, haha ​​I knew Sister A-Jiao, I forgot about it." The little girl said and ran out: "I'll pick up Sister A-Jiao."

Not only Gillian came, but also the coachman, her maid Xiaohui and four guards with knives.

After all, such a thing happened only yesterday, so you have to be careful when you go out today.

A-Jiao hurried into the mansion, and when she saw Li Ye, she burst into tears and couldn't help crying, so he had no choice but to comfort her, presumably she was worried and frightened all day about what happened yesterday.

All doors were not allowed to open yesterday, and people were not allowed to go to the streets. All kinds of rumors were flying around, and people were in panic. There must be something about themselves.

It wasn't until this afternoon that the entire city was lifted and the city gates opened again before she could rush here.

After crying, the little girl felt even more embarrassed. She must have understood how disrespectful she had done. Fortunately, there was no one else around, so she hurriedly pulled He Qian and Qiu'er Yueer to ask about what happened yesterday. , with his back turned to him.

Li Ye is funny, Ruoqian is a person who doesn't care about etiquette at all, and acts rashly.Then Gillian is just the opposite. She is knowledgeable and cultured. She was born in a scholarly family since she was a child.

Just so it is another attractive unique temperament.
