Dashang Capital.

The carriage rumbled by.

Inside the carriage.

Li Ziye sat there quietly, closing her eyes and pondering, and putting the fine steel fan aside, always by her side.

When you don’t use a sword, you can only use an iron fan to protect your body. It is simple and practical, and will not be suspicious.

In the whirlpool of power, even though he is as smart as Li Ziye, he dare not be careless at all.

Not long after, in front of the palace.

Li Ziye walked off the carriage.

Coincidentally, not far away, the carriage from the Fourth Prince's Mansion also stopped.

Mu Bai walked out and saw the Buyihou in front of him at first glance.

"Fourth Prince!"

Li Ziye bowed and bowed.

"Master of Buyi."

Mu Bai returned the favor and said in confusion, "The Marquis wants to enter the palace?"

"Your Majesty summoned me." Li Ziye said softly.

"It just so happens that I will also go to the palace to pay my respects to my mother and let me go with you." Mu Bai replied.

"good."

Li Ziye nodded and then walked towards the palace with the fourth prince.

"The Buyihou must have never led a soldier before, so why is he familiar with the art of military affairs?" Mu Bai asked while walking.

"I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, so that I can serve the court one day and share your worries for Your Majesty."

Li Ziye responded casually, but he didn't even have a brain. In his opinion, there is no need to be brain-protective when dealing with an idiot like Mu Bai.

"The common man practices martial arts to be an official?" Mu Bai continued to ask.

"Making achievements and establishing a wife and acquiring a son is the dream of every martial arts practitioner in the Great Shang Dynasty, and the minister is no exception."

Li Ziye said calmly, "I am very lucky to be appreciated by the two Kings of Martial Arts and Your Majesty, and have the opportunity to show my ambitions. Therefore, I must do my best to serve the court!"

"Learn from literature and martial arts, goods and imperial families."

Mu Bai sighed softly. Although this common man is also a talented man, he is not the same as Brother Li after all.

The two of them chatted while walking, but their words were very unnutritious and high-sounding.

Mu Bai is indifferent by nature. Unless he agrees with someone, it would be very considerate to be able to say a few words politely.

Obviously, the common man now does not have the temper of Mu Bai.

Soon, the two parted ways, one went to Shou'an Palace and the other went to Weiyang Palace.

Li Ziye looked at Mu Bai's figure as he was leaving, and the corners of his mouth bent slightly.

This guy hasn't changed at all.

So easy to fool.

If Murong was a man, he would not have been so worried. With Murong's intelligence and background, he would have won the position of prince long ago.

Weiyang Palace.

Mu Bai walked over and entered the hall, saluted respectfully, "I wish you a blessing to my mother."

"stand up."

At the table, Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Have you paid homage to your father first?"

"No."

Mu Bai shook his head and said, "Father summoned the Buyi Hou to the palace to discuss things, and my son will go again later."

"Mr. Buyi?"

When Empress Changsun heard this, a strange color flashed in her eyes and said, "From this situation, your father is likely to reuse this person."

"The Buyihou has the heart to serve the court and has great talent. It is not surprising that his father appreciates it." Mu Bai said calmly.

"From your tone, you don't seem to like him." Queen Changsun narrowed her eyes and said.

"The utilitarianism is too strong and the scheming is too heavy."

Mu Bai walked to the table and sat down, answered, "My son, I really don't like him very much, but it is undeniable that the Buyihou is a talented person."

"The most important thing for those who are in high positions is to know others and make good use of them. Those who are available should treat them with courtesy."

Empress Changsun looked at her legitimate son in front of her and reminded, "Your eldest brother will do this much better."

The commoner Hou Xinfeng and Mu Yuan have been there several times in a row, and the intention of winning over is fully demonstrated. No matter what the result is, the attitude of respecting the wise and incompetent people has been fully prepared.

Mu Bai was silent and didn't say much.

Empress Changsun knew that this kind of thing could not be changed overnight, and she didn't say anything more. She turned around and said, "After a while, the Buyi Hou left, go and invite your father to peace."

"Um."

Mu Bai nodded and replied softly.

At the same time, Shou'an Palace.

Li Ziye walked over and, under the leadership of the eunuch, entered the hall.

"I'm sorry, please see your Majesty."

"Flat."

In the hall, the Shang Emperor looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Can you play chess?"

"A little understanding of one or two."

Li Ziye responded respectfully.

"Okay, let me have a pair of people." Shang Huang said with a smile.

"yes!"

Li Ziye responded, stepped forward, and took the initiative to pick up the blackzi.

Those with weak chess skills should hold a black piece and go first. This is the rule.

Li Ziye doesn’t like rules, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand the rules.

The darkspot fall, take the lead.

The Emperor Shang held Bai Zi and then made a move and asked, "Are you still satisfied with the new mansion?"

"satisfy."

Li Ziye replied while making a move, "Thank you for your concern."

"That's good."

The Emperor Shang nodded and continued to play chess without saying anything more.

Li Ziye did not take the initiative to speak, and played chess quietly.

The main hall.

It was very quiet, only the sound of making moves rang again and again.

Li Ziye had played chess with the Shang Emperor before, but now he has confronted him again, but the chess path has completely changed.

Introverted, showing his sharpness.

A game of chess was not long, and after about two quarters of an hour, it was gradually coming to the final game.

The outcome has been decided.

"I lost."

At the end, Li Ziye took the initiative to put down the chess piece in his hand and gave in.

"very nice."

Emperor Shang saw that the person in front of him had a desire to hide his weakness, but he did not point it out. He turned around and said, "I heard that the eldest prince and the fourth prince have been to your mansion in the past two days."

"Report to your Majesty, both of your highness have indeed come to the minister's residence."

Li Ziye said truthfully, "The two high men respect the wise and the nobles, come to congratulate me in person. I am very moved."

"Tell me about your impression of the two princes." The Shang Emperor said with a calm expression.

"I dare not."

Li Ziye immediately lowered his head, looked panicked, and said, "The two princes are among the people, how can anyone like me comment?"

"I asked you to say it, and you said it."
