Beijing.
The British Duke Zhao Shang wore a brocade robe and stood at the door with a smile on his face to greet the guests.
The guests who can be welcomed by him in person naturally have extraordinary status.
This literary gathering was nominally to celebrate the Queen's birthday, but in fact, it became a grand event in the literary world. It has been a long time since so many literati gathered together.
But at this moment, what he greeted was not a scholar, but an unexpected guest.
An ordinary carriage drove slowly over. Compared with the gorgeous carriages parked nearby, it was really inconspicuous.
The young man who got off the car was wearing a green robe, and there was an air of nobility in his eyes.
"Young Master, didn't I tell you not to come and pick him up in person?" The young man frowned slightly when he saw Mr. British Zhao Shang.
The British Duke Zhao Shang didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He greeted him with a smile, but his smile was a bit stiff.
"That's not true. It's idle to be idle..."
"I've sent everyone nearby away, no one can see it."
British Duke Zhao Shang lowered his head as he spoke, occasionally glancing at the young man's face.
It was really unremarkable. If he hadn't known the truth in advance, he would never have known that this person was actually the current emperor Qi Xingyun.
"Relax. You are my father-in-law after all. Don't be so careful and let others see that something is wrong. This time, I don't want anyone to know."
"By the way, just call me Mr. Wen Er." Qi Xingyun said calmly.
The British Duke Zhao Shang was stunned for a moment, but soon he realized that when the word "Qi" was broken down, it became the word "文二".
"How come Mr. Wen Er is in the mood to come to the cultural gathering?" The British Duke Zhao Shang still accompanied him cautiously.
How can the father-in-law be like ordinary people?
If you really think of yourself as the emperor's father-in-law these days, you really don't know how to write the word "death".
The British Duke Zhao Shang himself has the status of honorable Duke. If such a foreign relative is too high-profile and does not know how to restrain himself, he will be impeached by the courtiers until death.
"It's been a long time since I've been out and about. Find an opportunity to come out and get some fresh air."
Qi Xingyun waved his hand and said: "You can arrange a box for me nearby, and I will listen to the young people's cultural gathering nearby."
"Everything has been arranged. You can go in at any time." British Duke Zhao Shang lowered his head and said.
"go in."
Qi Xingyun glared at Zhao Shang, quite dissatisfied with him for being so submissive, but there was nothing he could do about it.
You can't say it's wrong for him to be more respectful.
Since the British Duke Zhao Shang has this attitude, staying with him seems too boring, so he should go to the box to rest early.
Under the guidance of Zhao Shang, Qi Xingyun entered the box that had been arranged long ago. This place was far away from the venue of the cultural gathering, so he could hear everything they said.
"The cultural gathering will be held there?"
Qi Xingyun pointed at the window.
The location Qi Xingyun pointed to was a large square. Originally, there were a lot of equipment for physical training and martial arts, but this time they were all moved away in order to hold a cultural gathering.
Instead there was a high platform and rows of seats.
There is a small table next to each seat, with fruits and sets of tea cups on it.
This time, the British Duke Zhao Shang was well prepared and was waiting for the talented people to take their seats.
At this time, most of the talented people were arriving one after another.
"Yes, right there." British Duke Zhao Shang nodded.
"Go and greet the others and let the conference begin early." Qi Xingyun said calmly after sitting down.
Eunuch Wang Yun changed his clothes, disguised himself, and followed Qi Xingyun.
At this time, he stood next to Qi Xingyun and gestured towards the British Duke Zhao Shang.
Zhao Shang apologized and retreated, followed immediately by Wang Yun.
"Eunuch, what kind of play is your Majesty singing?" British Duke Zhao Shang said cautiously.
"Don't ask too much about the Emperor's affairs, don't think too much, just do it." Wang Yun said calmly.
This was also because the British Duke Zhao Shang was the father-in-law of the emperor, and his daughter was Empress Zhao. He also mentioned that if it had been anyone else, he would not have said a word more.
"Okay, I understand."
The British Duke Zhao Shang left quickly. He had been in the court for so many years and had not learned much about the real skills of doing things, but he was still very sophisticated in human relations and he immediately understood what Wang Yun meant.
Since the emperor wanted to see the cultural gathering as soon as possible, he would omit some of the steps and let the visitors enter quickly.
…
Feng Meiyu didn't come alone, he came with two brothers.
Although they were three brothers, they basically didn't speak much even though they were sitting in the same carriage.
Feng Qingsu was a bit better, he was more deep-tempered, and you couldn't tell what he was thinking from his face.
But Feng Yu from the third family is different.
Feng Yu was just a scholar, but that didn't stop him from looking down on Feng Meiyu. He always felt that a child like Feng Meiyu, who wanted nothing, had taken away the favor of his family's ancestors.
Why can a straw bag be pampered?
"That girl Ximei, are you hiding her?" Feng Yu suddenly asked with cold eyes.
"What does it have to do with me? I can't even remember who this girl is." Feng Meiyu's half-lidded eyes opened. He was not afraid of Feng Yu, but retorted sarcastically.
"You can't remember? Who are you lying to? Ximei, you fell in love with that girl a few years ago, why don't you remember?" Feng Yu looked like he already knew everything.
"If you don't remember, you just don't remember. If you say you have something to do with me, then come up with evidence." Feng Meiyu didn't tolerate him.
"Don't be too proud. The woman I like will never escape my grasp sooner or later." Feng Yu said fiercely.
"Okay, okay, we are all brothers. No matter how big the deal is, isn't it just a maid? There are many in the family, so just choose one. As for brothers fighting against each other?"
"If someone laughs at me and lets outsiders know about the discord within our family, don't blame me as the eldest brother for not giving me face."
Feng Qingsu finally couldn't help but speak.
If they continue to make trouble, the trouble will be big. Feng Qingsu doesn't want his family to become a talking point for others.
As the oldest person of this generation, he is also the eldest son of the family head. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will inherit the Feng family business. At this juncture, there can be no mistakes.
Otherwise, the blow would not only hit the two younger brothers, but also himself.
The elders thought that he did not have the ability to be the head of the family and could not be harmonious with others.
"Okay, I'll give the boss some face. I'll write this down for now. We'll figure it out later when we have free time." Feng Yu sneered.
"Are you still afraid of you? If you come at me with anything, I will take care of you." Feng Meiyu said tit for tat.
By this time, Feng Meiyu was not only dissatisfied with Feng Yu, he was also quite dissatisfied with Feng Qingsu.
