Yanyulou

Li Yuan.

Half an hour later, Murong and Mu Bai left together in a carriage.

In front of Li Yuan, Li Ziye watched the two leave, and immediately went back to the mansion humming a little song.

Not to mention, these nine princesses are really pretty.

It's not bad to marry as a daughter-in-law.

It's just that the butt is not big enough, Miss Youwei may not like it.

Outside the front hall, Bai Wangyu looked at Li Ziye who was in a good mood, and asked curiously, "What's so happy about it?"

"Don't tell you."

Li Ziye returned to the inner courtyard in high spirits.

He helped the Ninth Princess this time, maybe the Ninth Princess would agree with her body as soon as she was moved.

When the time comes, will he agree?

Embarrassing!

In the inner courtyard, Zhang Sloppy saw Li Ziye approaching with an eccentric look on his face, so he knew that this kid was thinking wildly again.

Capital city, on the way back to the palace.

Inside the carriage, the Fourth Prince Mu Bai sat there quietly, not saying a word.

On the opposite side, Murong stared at his elder brother with beautiful eyes. If eyes could kill, Mu Bai might have been chopped into pieces.

"not on purpose."

After a long time, Mu Bai couldn't bear the murderous look in his younger sister's eyes, and took the initiative to apologize.

"Heh, His Royal Highness the fourth prince is really powerful. He went to other people's houses to show off his prestige. If Bai Wangyu didn't take the initiative to stop, would His Highness plan to fight until dark?"

Murong asked with a dangerous light in his eyes.

"No."

Mu Bai immediately shook his head and said, "It's just a discussion, even if Bai Wangyu doesn't stop, he will stop in time as a brother."

He's not a fool, how could he fail to see that his sister was on the verge of breaking out, and he didn't want to be hurt innocently.

"Yo, brother still has this consciousness?"

Murong smiled lightly, "Then what I asked you to ask, how did you do it?"

Mu Bai was stunned when he heard this, and then secretly took a breath of cold air.

It's over, I was so busy with the sword competition that I forgot about the business!

really!

When Murong saw this, the light in his eyes became more and more dangerous, and he asked, "Did brother forget?"

Mu Bai was silent, not daring to speak.

Murong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, endured it several times, and finally suppressed the pressure of fire in his heart.

Man, no one is reliable!

They're all big pigs!

"How about we go back and ask?"

Mu Bai opened his mouth, although he was flustered, he still asked very calmly.

"Need not."

Murong opened his eyes and said calmly, "I've already asked."

"Have you asked?"

Hearing this, Mu Bai asked in surprise, "We came out of Li Garden after discussing for brother and Bai Wangyu. When did you ask?"

"Who said I asked him." Murong said angrily.

"I didn't ask him, I could still ask"

After half a sentence, Mu Bai was startled suddenly, and asked in surprise, "You mean Li Ziye?"

"Ah."

Murong nodded, with a flash of light in his eyes, he said, "This time, we probably owe the Li family a great favor."

She didn't know why Li Ziye wanted to help her, but she couldn't deny this favor.

On the street, the carriage moved forward, rumbling towards the palace.

When the sun was about to set, and approaching the imperial palace, Mu Bai stepped down from the carriage, looked at his sister in the carriage, and said seriously, "This time, if that Li Ziye can really help you, I will help you repay this favor. "

After finishing speaking, Mu Bai didn't say any more, turned around and walked towards his palace.

Three days seemed to pass very peacefully.

Three days later, in front of the Fengtian Hall in the Dashang Palace, all the officials came together. The Shang Emperor sat on the thousand-story stone steps, looking down, showing the majesty of the emperor.

As the autumn wind blew, the canopy swayed, and the courtiers of the great merchants stood under the stone steps one by one, with anxious expressions on their faces.

Three days have passed, but none of them have come up with an answer.

I heard that His Majesty has asked people from Taixue Palace to help solve the problem. I don't know if there is a result.

On the stone steps, Emperor Shang looked down, his expression was calm, without any waves.

Yesterday, the head of Confucianism sent someone to reply, saying that the three questions have been answered, but, the time is approaching, why do people from Confucianism come here?

"The envoy from the Heavenly Mandate Palace has arrived."

At this moment, at the end of the stone steps, a sharp voice sounded, and in the eyes of everyone, outside the Xuanwu Gate, led by Yan Xiaoyu and Liu Rongnv, everyone in the temple stepped forward.

"coming."

At the bottom of the stone steps, the officials looked at each other, their faces became more worried. The people from the temple had arrived, but they hadn't figured out the answers to the three questions, so what to do.

Under the sad eyes of the ministers of the Great Merchants, everyone in the temple came over, saluted respectfully, and said, "I have seen His Majesty the Great Merchants."

"Don't be too polite."

Shang Huang opened his mouth and said lightly.

Everyone in the temple stood up straight, and Yan Xiaoyu looked up at Emperor Shang in front of Fengtian Hall, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty Shang, three days have come, I wonder if you can give me an answer?"

After finishing speaking, Yan Xiaoyu glanced at the big business officials on both sides, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a subtle sarcasm.

Judging by the dejected looks of this group of trash, they must have not solved the answer.

On both sides of the stone steps, after seeing the taunting eyes of the God Son of the Temple of Heaven, the officials were unable to say anything even though they were angry.

"hold on."

In front of Fengtian Hall, Emperor Shang spoke calmly.

Below, Yan Xiaoyu heard the words, looked at the Great Shang Emperor on the stone steps, and said, "Your Majesty, let me wait, my temple can naturally wait, but I don't know, when will I wait?"

"The time for a stick of incense." Emperor Shang said slowly.

"it is good!"

Yan Xiaoyu smiled lightly and said, "I will wait for another incense stick in my temple."

For three days, the entire businessman couldn't answer the question, and he didn't believe that they could make any progress in the time of a stick of incense.

But it's just delaying the time to admit defeat.

In front of Fengtian Hall, the old eunuch in the palace brought a stick of incense and put it on the wooden table, lit it with a torch, and immediately retreated.

The incense in the palace is all specially made, and the short ones can burn out in two quarters of an hour, while the long ones can last for half an hour.

In order to delay a little more time, the old eunuch deliberately picked the longest one.

At the bottom of the stone steps, Yan Xiaoyu saw the intention of the Great Shang court, and sneered, but didn't point it out.

Procrastinate and see how long you can procrastinate.

Outside the Fengtian Hall, time passed by, the autumn wind blew, and the incense ashes fell. All the officials of the Dashang stared at the stick of incense, hoping that the stick of incense would burn for a while longer.

In front of the group of officials, Mu Bai stood there with a calm expression, as indifferent as before, as if he had the composure of not panicking before the collapse of a mountain.

Murong said, if the Li family's son will come, then he will definitely come.

He didn't believe in the Li family's son-in-law, but in Murong's way of looking at people.

"The time for a stick of incense is almost over."

About half an hour later, at the foot of the stone steps, Yan Xiaoyu looked at the Great Shang Emperor in front of Fengtian Hall, and smiled, "Your Majesty, do you still have to wait?"

"The incense hasn't been burned yet, don't worry." Emperor Shang said lightly.

"Ah."

Yan Xiaoyu smiled contemptuously, the rulers and ministers of this great merchant really do not want to die until the Yellow River.

On both sides of the stone steps, the courtiers of the Great Merchant looked more and more anxiously at the incense sticks that were about to burn out.

What is His Majesty waiting for? Will someone really come?

"I'm coming!"

At this moment, a young eunuch ran over from outside the Xuanwu Gate with an excited expression on his face, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Bai Wangyu from the Confucian School asked for an audience, and brought a young man named Li Ziye with him."

"Xuan!"

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang heard the words, his eyes burst into dazzling light, and he shouted.

"Yes!"

The little eunuch respectfully took orders.

The next moment, outside the Xuanwu Gate, a figure in a white Confucian robe stepped forward, attracting everyone's attention and dazzling light.

However, to everyone's surprise, Bai Wangyu was following behind a young man at this moment. That young man had a face like a crown of jade, an extraordinary temperament, and a calm and confident smile on his face, which made people unforgettable at a glance. .

When the two came to the stone steps, Bai Wangyu stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Confucianism, Bai Wangyu, see Your Majesty!"

On the side, Li Ziye saluted, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the surrounding ministers and the Great Shang Emperor above, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

Finally, still come here.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang stared at the two people below, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Bai Wangyu, the chief disciple of the Confucian School, came here in person, so he must have really solved the three problems.

But, why did the son of the Li family come with him?

"Flat body."

After a brief thought, Emperor Shang restrained his mind and spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Below, Bai Wangyu and Li Ziye took orders and got up at the same time.

Not far away, when Yan Xiaoyu saw the two people coming at this time, she had a bad feeling in her heart, looked at the burning incense on the steps, and urged, "Your Majesty, the time has come, tell your answer Bar."

On the dragon chair, Emperor Shang looked at the big Confucian disciple below, and asked, "Bai Wangyu, have you solved the problem?"

"Solved."

Bai Wangyu nodded, and said seriously in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of the temple, "However, it is not me who is going to solve the problem today, but the young master of the Li family beside me."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked, and everyone's eyes were on the young man beside Bai Wangyu.

Those three questions were solved by the Li family?

At this moment, even the Shang Emperor on the dragon chair was concentrating. Could it be that the person who solved the problem mentioned by the Confucian leader was not Bai Wangyu, but the son of the Li family?

With everyone's attention, Li Ziye didn't panic in the slightest. He stepped forward calmly and said, "The envoys of the temple, the three questions you asked are too simple, so don't bother my courtiers from the Great Shang or gentlemen from the Confucian school to come forward. I, a commoner, can answer."

"presumptuous!"

Beside Yan Xiaoyu, an envoy of the temple heard the words, his face showed anger, and said, "Who are you, you dare to speak nonsense here."

"Why, the envoys of the temple are so arrogant that they can't even listen to the truth?"

Li Ziye glanced at Yan Xiaoyu and the envoys of the Great Merchant behind him, and said solemnly, "When the temple raises these questions, there is no rule for who should answer them. Although I am not a courtier of the Great Merchant, nor the Imperial Academy student of Dashang, but I am a citizen of Dashang, so I have the qualification and obligation to stand here, solve problems for Dashang, and fight against foreign enemies!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ziye couldn't help giving himself a thumbs up. He said it well, and he almost believed it himself.

"it is good!"

After Li Ziye's words fell, on the side of the stone steps, the old official Lu Siqing, whose beard had already turned a lot of white, immediately called out, "I, a great businessman, should have such a heart to serve the country."

Before and after, all the ministers also nodded with satisfaction. This kid is not bad, and he is eloquent.

Under the stone steps, the faces of the envoys of the temple became very ugly, one by one looked at the young man in front of him, wishing to eat him alive.

"Mr. Li, you only use your tongue to no avail. You can't solve the three questions in my temple. The big businessman still loses in this bet." In front of the envoys of the temple, Yan Xiaoyu said coldly.

"Isn't it just three questions? Watch it, I'll solve it for you!"

While speaking, Li Ziye swept across everyone present, stood up straight, and cleared his throat, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Stand still, this young master is about to officially start pretending!
