Buyihou Mansion.
Huan Zhu and the eldest prince Mu Yuan arrived at the same time.
Li Zi left the house at night and greeted him personally.
"Your Highness."
In front of the house, Li Ziye saluted respectfully.
"You don't need to be polite, Lord Commoner."
Mu Yuan stepped forward, helped the person in front of him, and said, "Buyi Hou has been newly granted the title. I am here to express my congratulations."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Please come to me." Li Ziye said politely.
Mu Yuan nodded and immediately walked towards the mansion ahead.
"Li Jiaoxi, please come from the mansion."
After receiving the eldest prince, Li Ziye turned his attention to Huanzhu aside and said calmly.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Huan Zhu responded and also walked towards the mansion.
There wasn't much communication between the two, and their attitude couldn't be called enthusiastic.
When we met for the first time, there was no sympathy or sympathy.
Unless the other party is a high-ranking and powerful person like the eldest prince.
The three of them entered the mansion one after another, and Li Ziye led the way to the front of the main hall.
"Professor Li."
Outside the main hall, Mu Yuan suddenly stopped and said, "I have something to discuss with the Buyi Marquis. It is not convenient for outsiders to be present. Could you please ask Mr. Li to wait outside?"
When Huanzhu heard the words, his eyes narrowed slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Li Ziye had already spoken and said with a smile, "Then please ask Mr. Li to wait outside for a moment."
The master of the Hou Mansion spoke, Huan Zhu swallowed the words in his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Since His Highness and the Buyi Marquis have something to discuss, I will come back another day."
"Jiaoxi Li, just wait a moment. I and His Highness will be able to finish talking soon, so why bother making an extra trip."
Li Ziye responded with a smile, looked at the eldest prince in front of him, and said, "Your Highness, please."
Seeing the attitude of the Buyi Hou in front of him, Mu Yuan smiled and stepped into the main hall.
This Buyi Hou is really a wonderful person with good sense of things.
No wonder it was appreciated by the King of Triumph and the King of Rakshasa.
In the main hall.
Burn incense and make tea, the aroma is overflowing.
Li Ziye made tea himself to show respect.
Soon, the tea was ready. Li Ziye poured a cup of tea for the eldest prince in front of him and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please use it."
"Thank you."
Mu Yuan responded, picked up the tea, took a sip, and said softly, "Good tea."
"As long as your Highness likes it."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "I am a rough man, and the things used in the house are not considered fine. It's fine if Your Highness doesn't dislike him."
Good tea? Damn it, it’s just ordinary tea.
If there was really good tea, he would not be willing to give it to the eldest prince.
"The commoner is too modest."
Mu Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile, "There were many people talking in the court hall a few days ago. I won't have time to talk to the Buyi Marquis in the future. Therefore, I came here today to say congratulations to the Buyi Marquis."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Ziye once again poured a cup of tea for the eldest prince in front of him and said, "It is my honor for your highness to come."
When the two of them were chatting.
Outside the main hall.
Huanzhu stood quietly, looking at the decoration of the mansion, with a look of curiosity on his face.
My brother's mansion is indeed different from others.
If you have a chance, you must take a good look around.
However, her brother's status is different now, so she can't always come.
"Buyihou."
In the main hall, after the two exchanged a few words, Mu Yuan glanced outside and said with a smile, "It's not good to keep Professor Li waiting outside. How about letting Professor Li come in?"
"No need."
Li Ziye looked calm and said, "Your Highness is here, let Li Jiaoxi wait a little longer."
"Buyihou."
Mu Yuan reminded, "This third young master of the Li family is not an ordinary person. The Buyi Marquis must not neglect him."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "The name of the third young master of the Li family is known to everyone in the world. I naturally don't dare to neglect him, but."
Having said this, Li Ziye glanced outside the main hall, smiled faintly, and said, "The Li family is a merchant's family, and they are not qualified to live with His Highness. I, although I have just entered the court not long ago, I still understand this rule." Yes, respect and inferiority, don’t mess with each other.”
"I understand what Buyi Hou means, but rules are dead and people are alive."
Mu Yuan looked at the person in front of him and said seriously, "The way to be an official is to be flexible."
"His Highness's lesson, I will keep it in mind."
Li Ziye said with a sincere expression, "I am new to the court and I don't understand many things. I will need more guidance from Your Highness in the future."
Mu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing what the person in front of him said.
"My lord, I would like to offer tea instead of wine to Your Highness." Li Ziye picked up the tea cup and said seriously.
"Honor the Buyi Hou!" Mu Yuan raised his glass and responded.
The teacups clashed, and the two drank the tea in one gulp.
"The Buyi Marquis still has guests, so I won't bother you any more."
Mu Yuan put down the tea cup, stood up immediately, and said with a smile, "Someday, I will be the host. Please invite the commoner Marquis into the house and we can have a good chat."
"Your Majesty, please send me off."
Li Ziye stood up and said respectfully.
Mu Yuan nodded and walked outside.
Outside the main hall, Huanzhu is still waiting.
Mu Yuan walked by, and the two of them staggered for a moment, with the corners of their mouths slightly curved.
Li Ziye walked the eldest prince to the house, watched the eldest prince's carriage go away, and then turned around and walked back.
In front of the main hall, Li Ziye walked over and entered the hall.
Huanzhu followed him.
"Brother."
In the main hall, Huanzhu looked at the person in front of him and called softly.
"Yes, I have grown a lot."
A gentle smile appeared on Li Ziye's face and he said, "She is no longer the stupid girl who didn't understand anything when she first came out of the mutated land."
"Sister Hongzhu taught me well."
Huanzhu responded with a smile, picked up the teapot, and prepared to pour tea for the brother in front of him.
"This tea is not for you."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "It's over."
Huanzhu looked startled, but he still stood up obediently and poured all the tea.
"The new tea is on the table behind you."
Li Ziye sat at the table and said with a smile, "Your brother, although I am good at tea, I am still used to the days when I have to put on my clothes and open my mouth for food."
"I make tea for my brother."
Huanzhu took the new tea and began to add water and wash the tea, meticulously.
Li Ziye sat there quietly with a smile on his face, watching the girl in front of him making tea.
At first, when he brought this girl out of the mutated place, he was a little worried, but now it seems that he was too worried.
This girl is adapting very well.
"Brother, were you not injured when you were in the Western Region?" Huanzhu asked with concern.
"No."
Li Ziye shook his head and said softly, "Huanzhu, I still have to tell you something. I won't be able to stay in the capital for too long. Soon, I will ask for orders to go north. Here in the capital, I have to continue to work hard for you and Hongzhu."
"Brother is going to the north?"
Huanzhu looked shocked and said, "Why are you so anxious?"
"The war in the north is tense and we cannot wait any longer."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Besides, I also need military merit."
"Brother, what do you want?" Huanzhu asked confused.
"Be crowned king."
Li Ziye responded truthfully, "Troubled times are the times of heroes. If you want to be crowned king, this is the only time."
The Li family not only needs the wealth that rivals other countries, but also needs a high-ranking and powerful King Wu.
