Just when Yang Ling was wondering, a smiling voice sounded,
"Sir, are you alright?"
Yang Ling raised his legs and took a look. Cao Pi was standing not far away, smiling and greeting him.
The injury from yesterday has not yet healed, and the bruises around his eyes are still eye-catching.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zihuan. Your panda eyes are particularly unique."
Yang Ling held back her smile and greeted him.
The smile on Cao Pi's face froze.
Although he had never heard of the so-called panda eyes, he also knew that this was definitely not a compliment.
In addition, there were already many people making fun of him just now.
Cao Pi suddenly felt extremely unhappy!
But this was not the time for an attack. If Yang Ling ran away like this, then his and his sister's plan would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Cao Pi suppressed the anger in his heart and forced a smile,
"Sir, you are joking. In fact, I am inviting you here today, not my brother."
"I wonder if Mr. Zihuan is here today. Why do you want me to come down here?"
Yang Ling said calmly.
"Yesterday, I was drunk and impulsive, and offended Mr. and Mrs. Ling. I felt very uneasy."
"It just so happens that many talented people and beauties from the capital city gathered here today, so I invited you, sir."
"The first is to apologize, and the second is that your arrival will make today's banquet even more brilliant."
Cao Pi said with a smile.
Yang Ling just regarded his words as farts.
Cao Pi in history was not open-minded at all, but a villain who had to repay his flaws.
I taught him a lesson yesterday, how could he be so kind as to apologize to me today?
This is obviously a weasel paying New Year greetings to a chicken, and he has no good intentions!
But if he just left like this, wouldn't it look like he was as timid as a mouse?
With Cao Cao's warning first, Cao Pi would not dare to do anything disadvantageous to himself.
No matter what, once it comes, let's make peace with it.
Let's see what medicine he sells in his gourd.
"Young Master is so polite!"
Yang Ling also had a fake smile on his face.
"Sir, let's invite you inside!"
Cao Pi secretly guided Yang Ling, and the two of them walked towards the manor.
However, Yang Ling didn't notice at all. There were several pairs of eyes staring at him from a distance.
"Is he Yang Ling? He looks quite handsome."
A girl who was about twelve or thirteen years old and had a beautiful face said with a smile.
"Sister Qing, aren't you tempted by such a handsome person?"
"What do you know? Our sister Qing has always had high eyesight. How can an ordinary man catch her eye?"
The other two girls were also chirping.
They are Cao Cao's other three daughters, namely Cao Xian, Cao Jie and Cao Hua.
"Haven't you three ever heard that gold and jade are ruined on the outside?"
Cao Qing snorted coldly,
"Let's see how I make him look embarrassed in front of so many people! Let's go!"
She waved her hand and walked towards the manor with her three followers.
In the open space in the manor, there are dozens of tables and tables, and many talented people and beauties have already taken their seats.
Seeing Cao Pi coming, they all stood up and greeted Cao Pi.
"Master Zihuan!"
"The master is here!"
Cao Pi responded with a smile and introduced to Yang Ling,
"This is Xu Duling's eldest son, Man Wei."
"This is Mr. Wenhe's third son, Jia Ji."
"This is Uncle Zilian's daughter."
"..."
Good fellow, those present today are all second-generation officials in Xudu City!
Yang Ling was slightly shocked.
Everyone looked curious as they looked at Yang Ling, who was accompanied by Cao Pi.
"Mr. Zihuan, who is this gentleman?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
Cao Pi smiled and said,
"This gentleman's name is Yang Ling. He is extremely talented and knowledgeable. He is highly valued by my father!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Yang Ling!
"So you are Mr. Yang Ling, whom I have admired for a long time!"
"I hope I can communicate with you more today!"
A group of talented people and beauties came forward to say hello to Yang Ling.
At this moment, a handsome young man with a face like a crown of jade walked over from a distance.
"I didn't expect that my brother would invite such a talented gentleman."
He smiled and greeted Cao Pi and Yang Ling.
"My Excellency, Cao Zhi, whose name is Zijian, I have met Mr. Cao Zhi. I will inevitably have a lot of exchanges with Mr. Sir at the poetry meeting later."
Is he Cao Zhi?
Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, and nodded slightly.
He is truly a talented person, with a scholarly atmosphere all over his body. No wonder he can write a poem in seven steps!
Wait, poetry club?
Yang Ling frowned slightly,
"Master Zijian, what does the poem you are talking about mean?"
Cao Zhi glanced at Yang Ling strangely.
"Didn't my brother tell my husband? Today I invite young talents from Xudu City to hold a poetry gathering here to exchange literature."
In Yang Ling's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses roared past!
No wonder all the people I saw were young people!
It turns out that Cao Zhi held a poetry meeting here today!
He finally understood why Cao Pi invited him here and boasted about his talents in front of everyone.
He must be planning to embarrass himself at the poetry gathering he is waiting for!
Looking at Yang Ling with a gloomy expression, Cao Pi's lips turned up slightly, feeling secretly proud in his heart.
Both he and Cao Qing felt that since Yang Ling was born in the military, he must not be good at poetry and poetry.
So the two planned to trick Yang Ling into attending a poetry gathering held by Cao Zhi and make him embarrassed in public.
You know, those who can come to the poetry meeting are either children of powerful people or well-known literati.
In this way, Yang Ling's reputation can be ruined.
Not only can Cao Pi take revenge, but Cao Qing can also take the opportunity to refuse their marriage to her father, Cao Cao.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
"Sir, he is a talented person. He will be on stage to perform his work later. When the time comes, Zijian, you must listen attentively."
Cao Pi said with a fake smile.
The arrogant Cao Pi really has no good intentions!
Yang Ling cursed in his heart, but now he could no longer escape, so he could only bite the bullet and sit down with Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others.
Seeing that all the people participating in the poetry meeting were seated, Cao Zhi was about to stand up and announce the beginning of the poetry meeting when he saw a slim figure walking slowly.
"It's Miss Cao!"
"Why did Miss Cao come to the poetry meeting today?"
"Hehe, I have to put my best foot forward later and show off well in front of Miss Cao! Maybe I can win her trust."
There was a commotion among the people, and they immediately started talking quietly.
Yes, the person who came was none other than Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Cao Qing.
Today, she put on light makeup, and her already delicate face looked even more gorgeous, making her the focus of the banquet.
Behind her were three sisters, Cao Xian, Cao Jie and Cao Hua.
Cao Qing walked up to Cao Zhi with a gust of fragrance.
"Zijian, you won't find it rude that my sister is here today, right?"
"Sister, what are you talking about? You can come today, but it will add even more glory to the poetry meeting."
Cao Zhi smiled.
"That's good."
Cao Qing nodded and said hello to Cao Pi again.
For Yang Ling who was between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, she just glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and sat down in the empty seat next to him.
