25, Chongxi day 25
Li Fengqi did not comment on his words.
Ye Yunting was too soft-hearted, and he was worried about getting involved with Ye Fan and causing trouble. But when he actually faced Ye Fan, he felt guilty about the other party's sincerity and felt that he was unworthy of his sincerity.
However, nothing is perfect in this world. The theory of fate is just because we did not try our best, so we can only attribute it to no fate.
If it were him, it would all depend on whether he is willing or not.
But this was a matter between him and Ye Wan, so Li Fengqi didn't comment on it. Ye Wan looked careless at first glance. If Ye Yunting really became interested in him, he would have to pay a lot of attention.
force.
So of course he chose to remain silent.
The two of them returned to the main courtyard in silence all the way, and Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi parted in front of the study. After Li Fengqi showed up, letters and greetings from officials from all walks of life continued, and he often stayed in the study for half a day. Ye Yunting consciously avoided suspicion, and always
Just stop at the door.
But this time Li Fengqi called him: "Eldest Master, please come in together. I suddenly remembered that I need to discuss something with you."
Ye Yunting paused for a moment, his eyes a little confused, but he still followed him into the study.
This is not the first time he has entered Li Fengqi's study, but last time he was in a hurry and at night, so he didn't have time to take a closer look. Only today did he have the opportunity to take a closer look.
There are two walls in Li Fengqi's study room filled with books, most of which are military books. The remaining wall is used to hang weapons, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, hanging on the wall, shining with a sharp cold light.
Ye Yunting quickly glanced at the weapons, his eyes lingering on the books. He had read a lot of military books, but compared to Li Fengqi's collection, they were still a drop in the bucket.
He had never even heard of the names of many military books on the bookshelf.
"The eldest son also likes to read military books?" Li Fengqi saw that his eyes had been glued to the bookshelf after he entered the door, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Well, the prince has a lot of books, many of which I have never seen before." Ye Yunting was a little surprised, but his biggest interest in life was reading. Regardless of the content, as long as he had not read it, he wanted to dabble in it.
"Whatever you like, just come and get it." Li Fengqi pointed out: "Since the eldest son is of the same mind as me, there is no need to be so open-minded. My study is not a forbidden place, you can come too."
After saying that, he patted the chair beside him and tapped his chin: "These books are all placed here, and we can't run away. It's not too late for the eldest son to finish talking to me about the business first, and then go to see them."
His words were vaguely ridiculing, and Ye Yunting's cheeks felt hot, so he had to look away and sit down next to him.
After sitting down, I realized belatedly that this was the owner's seat.
——There is a huge carved mahogany desk in the study, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones on it, as well as official documents to be processed. Behind the desk is a mahogany carved wreath chair of the same style, covered with a tiger skin blanket, which is what the owner of the study usually does.
A place where business is done.
But now Ye Yunting is sitting on this chair. As the owner, Li Fengqi controls the wheelchair and sits on the inside of the wall, side by side with him, very close.
After realizing this, Ye Yunting felt a little uncomfortable. He turned around and wanted to say something, but one side of his face met Li Fengqi's face coming towards him.
——Li Fengqi was leaning forward to pick up the greeting cards piled on the other side. Unexpectedly, he suddenly turned his face, and the two of them were cheek to cheek, less than two punches apart.
Ye Yunting could even feel his warm breath.
"..." He subconsciously leaned back.
Li Fengqi seemed unaware. He stretched his arms across Ye Yunting very naturally, took the invitations, then stepped back and said softly: "These invitations were sent by various governments in the past two days."
Ye Yunting couldn't keep up with his thoughts and was obviously startled for a moment. He just said "Oh" and the base of his ears turned slightly red, which made the small red mole on his earlobe look even brighter.
Li Fengqi stared at them without leaving any trace, his Adam's apple rolling, he looked back and calmly told him: "First, see how many people you recognize."
Ye Yunting had no choice but to take it and look through it one by one.
These invitations were stacked on top of each other and were about a foot high. He flipped through the top few books and found that the officials who sent the invitations had different official positions. There were first-rank officials with real power, as well as senior officials like Shouchun Bo.
The declining earl who was in vain. He frowned and read carefully, and found that the words used in these greetings were also very particular, and a lot of things could be seen in the words and sentences.
He picked out the greeting cards from the officials he knew and put them aside alone. The others whose names he had only vaguely heard of were placed in another pile.
Li Fengqi looked at them separately and looked a little surprised: "I thought that the eldest son rarely leaves the government, and he doesn't know many officials."
With Ye Yunting's few appearances, Li Fengqi thought that he knew very little about the affairs of the court. However, among the pile of invitations picked out by Ye Yunting, most of them were officials with real power and names.
Know.
"When I was young, there was a gentleman who traveled around after he asked to leave the government. He would occasionally write to me. His letters would often mention the current situation in the court, and I knew a little about it through my ears and eyes. However, I only knew his name, but I didn't know his face.
.”
The gentleman's name is Chang Yuan, and he is the mentor who enlightened Ye Yunting. The gentleman is accompanied by a disciple who is about the same age as him. He occasionally returns to Beijing to take care of the shop, and by the way, he will send letters written by the gentleman to him.
Therefore, although Ye Yunting has been trapped in the house these years, the news is not blocked.
"That's easy." Li Fengqi nodded with satisfaction and picked through the two piles of invitations. He put the useful ones in front of him and threw the useless ones aside: "Recently, I intend to host a banquet to entertain my colleagues."
"Who do you want to invite? In what name?" Ye Yunting asked.
"This is what I want to discuss with the eldest son." Li Fengqi suddenly laughed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile made Ye Yunting feel a little malicious.
Ye Yunting felt a sudden change in his heart when he heard him continue: "I intended to make the banquet more grand, and it would be best to invite all the courtiers, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was no suitable name. But in the end, I finally thought of it.
A name that is very suitable..."
"?" Ye Yunting felt more and more uneasy, but he still couldn't help but said: "What's the name?"
Li Fengqi listened to his question, his smile grew wider, and he said slowly: "When the eldest son entered the palace, I was seriously ill. The wedding was deserted, and not even the guests arrived. Now that I think about it, I feel very regretful, so I decided to organize a replacement banquet...
..." He paused and said: "It's not necessary to follow the marriage regulations. It's always unlucky to get married twice. Just invite all your colleagues to have a drink and a banquet to have a good time."
The light in his eyes flowed: "Firstly, it is an opportunity to force Li Zong to make the next move, and secondly..." He paused at this point and did not say any more.
This reason was quite legitimate. After Ye Yunting thought about it for a while, he understood his intention.
Since the confrontation at the imperial meeting, the emperor has been silent.
The Shence Army that monitored the palace had been withdrawn long ago. Now the guards of the palace are all the personal guards of the Xuanjia Army brought by Zhu Lie. The servants in the palace are the palace's informants, but they can't get close to the important points at all.
The information collected was what Li Fengqi wanted them to spread to the palace.
Li Fengqi was not afraid that Li Zong would know his every move. On the contrary, he wanted to spread his every move to Li Zong's ears.
The more Li Zong knew, the more uneasy he felt.
If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer backlash. This is the situation Li Zong is facing now.
Li Fengqi is not dead, and the Xuanjia Army has not been eliminated, but the two have already been at odds with each other. Li Fengqi is a knife hanging over Li Zong's head, but it has never fallen.
The longer it takes, the more panicked Li Zong will become.
Once he gets confused, he is prone to making mistakes.
Although Li Fengqi was powerful in the past, he never disdained forming cliques and rarely interacted with courtiers in private. Now he is hosting courtiers in a grand manner, and when word reaches Li Zong's ears, it must be that Li Fengqi has other agendas. This is forcing him to
Take action.
The more he did, the more mistakes and omissions he made, and the more he made mistakes, the more trouble he made.
"What about the other two?" Ye Yunting wanted to understand, but then he remembered that he only said half of what he said.
Li Fengqi leaned lazily on the back of his chair, tapping the table with his fingers regularly, and slowly finished what he had not finished: "Secondly, I want to rectify the name of the eldest son, so that people outside don't know that I have a lot of people in Prince Yong'an's palace.
A new master."
Ye Yunting, who thought he could hear some high opinions: "..."
He was silent and smiled dryly: "The prince is joking."
Li Fengqi, however, refused to give up: "Young Master, do you think I'm joking?" He said with a righteous expression: "After all, the First Young Master and I are the husbands and wives of His Majesty. The situation has hindered the situation in the past few days, which caused the First Young Master to suffer along with me.
There are a lot of eye-rolls, now that I am out of trouble, I must have the title I deserve, otherwise I will be like the Duke of Qi, yelling at the eldest son, how can I be calm? "
He said and suppressed his smile: "The eldest son knows that I have always had a bad temper. If the person today is not your biological father, there is no chance of walking out of the palace gate."
Ye Yunting: "..."
He stared at the man with a solemn expression, thinking that someone who didn't even care about the emperor himself could still take the marriage offer seriously?
Don't try to take this opportunity to tease him again.
But then he remembered how he protected himself in front of Ye Zhili and his wife today, and gave up the idea.
King Yong'an values love and promises, and he is truly protecting him today.
Ye Yunting was not a ungrateful person. He pursed his lips. He had killed two birds with one stone. He had no reason to refuse, so he accepted the offer: "Then it will be as the prince said."
"Then I'll ask Wu Geng and Zhu Lie to make arrangements." Li Feng achieved his goal, slightly hooked his lips, and returned to the previous topic: "The day of the banquet will definitely be busy, so I will first tell a few important officials
Let me tell you again, I will be too busy by then, so I will bother the eldest son to help entertain you."
Ye Yunting nodded and leaned forward to look at the greeting card in his hand with a serious expression.
Li Fengqi glanced at him and leaned a little towards him, getting very close to him, and then he leisurely told him about the camp faction among these officials.
The interests of the courtiers were complicated and intricately related to each other. Li Fengqi patiently explained everything to him one by one. By the time he finished explaining everything, an hour had passed.
Ye Yunting looked at Shi Lu and was slightly surprised: "It's past lunch time. Can I ask the servants to prepare the meal?"
Li Fengqi frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "After the hour, I don't have much appetite."
"Eat as much as you can." Ye Yunting frowned in disapproval.
Li Fengqi glanced at him and acted awkwardly: "It would be nice to eat a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but the cook at home has never made it..."
"..." Ye Yunting suspected what he was implying.
Just now, he told Li Fengqi that one time Ye Wang saw him making sweet-scented osmanthus cake and wanted to eat it but pretended not to care. Although he noticed it, he pretended not to notice it. Now that he thinks about it, he feels guilty
