As soon as the two princes arrived, Su Qi'an could feel the full smell of gunpowder between the two sides.
At this time, Su Xian skipped towards the second and fourth princes, grabbed their hands, and said quickly.
"It's rare that second brother and fourth brother can get together and play with us."
The second prince touched Su Xian's head, smiled and shook his head, "Little tenth brother, second brother has something to talk to Mr. Su. Next time I have time, second brother will come and play with you."
"What about fourth brother?"
"Fourth brother can't accompany my tenth brother either. Next time, fourth brother will bring a gift to make it up to you."
"Really?"
The fourth prince smiled and nodded, and then, with the promise of the two princes, Su Xian was taken away by the eunuch.
Immediately, the second prince turned his eyes and looked at Su Qi'an and said, "What the fourth brother said just now made me feel offended. Let's do it this way. If you are free, sir, you can come and sit in my palace to express your gratitude to me." Sorry."
As soon as these words came out, the fourth prince beside him chuckled, "Second brother is really eloquent. After just a few words, I want Mr. Su to come and sit in the mansion."
"Now that the second brother has spoken, I have nothing to hide. Mr. Su, I am also very fond of poetry and songs. I have several good paintings in my house. I would like to ask you to take a look at them when you have time. I don't know, Mr. how about."
Although Su Qi'an had been prepared for a long time, Su Qi'an did not expect that the two men's recruitment intentions were so fast.
After all, this is the Imperial City, and Su Qi'an only came to the Imperial City for two days. Even though His Majesty admired it so much, these two princes did not have the slightest concern.
It can only be said that the power in the hands of the two is probably second only to Su Xuanyong. Perhaps the fight between the two was also approved by Su Xuanyong.
Just when Su Qian was thinking about how to deal with it, the voice of the Ninth Princess rang out.
"Second brother, fourth brother, what do you mean? Mr. Su is a talented person that the emperor admires, and he is a member of the royal family. Even the royal family and dignitaries don't recognize him. You are so anxious to recruit him. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame him?"
The two of them were startled, but quickly recovered. The second prince smiled and nodded, "As expected of Ninth Sister, she has really considered things carefully. This makes the second brother a little impatient."
"Jiu Mei, you also know who the second brother is. When he sees a talent like Mr. Su, he admires him very much. Naturally, he can't help but want to recruit him."
"Besides, Mr. Su is a member of the royal family and we are a family member. The second brother just wants to get closer and closer, so he is a little anxious."
"What Ninth Sister said is reasonable. Fourth brother is impatient. Mr. Su, I'm sorry." The fourth prince also added at the side.
The ninth princess looked calm and said softly, "It's good that second brother and fourth brother know. After all, Mr. Su is a talent that even my father admires. Even if he is appreciating it, don't break your etiquette."
"Okay, second brother and fourth brother, we've met here today. If nothing happens, little sister, I'm going to see Mr. Su off."
The two nodded and said to Su Qian, "Well, Mr. Su has also been tired for a day, so I won't bother you. Anyway, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future. As long as Mr. Su is free, feel free to say hello. I will be at the mansion anytime." Looking forward to your visit, sir."
"Mr. Su, my palace is also open to you. You can study in the Hanlin Academy with peace of mind. If you encounter any trouble, just tell me and I will definitely solve all the troubles for you."
Su Qi'an raised his hands to the two princes and said respectfully, "Here, Su would like to thank the two highnesses for their kindness, and Su will take his leave first."
Soon, under the leadership of the Ninth Princess, the two left the garden.
After watching the two people leave, after a while, the fourth prince's faint voice sounded.
"Second brother, your courtesy and corporal tactics don't seem to work very well with this cousin."
"Haha, if it doesn't work, it won't happen for a while, and you won't get any promises? Anyway, it's still a long time, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"Well, the fourth brother is going to have a fight with the second brother here. The fourth brother wants this Uncle Dongshan."
"Haha, let's wait and see. Second brother wants to see what kind of methods you have." The second prince smiled.
The fourth prince snorted coldly, then turned and left, but in
Before leaving, the fourth prince seemed to have thought of something, stopped and said suddenly.
"By the way, in my opinion, this Mr. Su is not easy to subdue. If the second brother is still such a courteous and virtuous corporal, I'm afraid he will lose more than he loses. Don't blame the fourth brother for not warning him in the first place."
The fourth prince chuckled and looked away.
The smile on the second prince's face suddenly disappeared as he stood there, and a cold look emerged.
On the other side, Su Qi'an had just followed the Ninth Princess out of the garden and came to a high wall. At this time, eight Forbidden Army guards suddenly appeared.
They were all half-kneeling on the ground. Princess Ninth looked a little unhappy as she whispered.
"Uncle Lin, what's going on? I remember that second brother and fourth brother will come."
"Back to Your Highness, we were a little negligent in this matter. I thought that the two Highnesses had left, so we did not report this matter. Who knew that the two Highnesses left and came back? Please punish them."
Hearing Lin Huwei's explanation, the Ninth Princess sighed and shook her head, "Well, this has nothing to do with you. I was careless. If there is any movement next time, I must report it."
"My subordinate understands."
The eight guards nodded solemnly and disappeared the next moment.
Seeing the Ninth Princess being so wary, Su Qian'an said, "The Ninth Princess is probably afraid that I will be involved in the struggle for imperial power between the two Highnesses."
The Ninth Princess nodded, "I took you to meet some princes today, and it's not for nothing. I hope you understand."
"But I think even if Su wants to avoid it, as long as Su is still in Kyoto, he will not be able to avoid this kind of dispute."
Hearing what Su Qian said, the Ninth Princess raised her eyebrows, showed a surprised expression, and said quickly.
"Sir, it's rare for you to intervene in the fight between the second and fourth brothers? If you really have such an idea, please give it up. The cruelty of the battle between the princes is beyond your imagination."
"No matter which side you choose, there are huge dangers, and often you will be killed before the end. Talents like you, sir, should not be here..."
The Ninth Princess's continuous output made Su Qian couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Su, you?"
"Ninth Princess, I brought Su to meet several princes today. I just want to warn Su that walking in the imperial city is dangerous every step he takes. No matter how stupid Su is, he will never participate in the fight between the two princes. My dear, I wish I could go as far as I can on this matter."
"What I want to tell the Ninth Princess is that in order to deal with the troubles of the two princes, I am determined to seek asylum in the Hanlin Academy."
The Ninth Princess's eyes flashed, but she quickly reacted and said, "Oh, no wonder you asked your father to let you study at the Hanlin Academy at the banquet. The Hanlin Academy is the gathering place for the great Confucian scholars in the imperial court, and it is also the heart of the world's literati. Holy place."
"Even if the second brother and the fourth brother are extremely powerful, as long as my father is around, the Hanlin Academy will not be within their reach, and there is a wife in the Hanlin Academy, so you specially held the auction, not only to expand your reputation, but also Attract the Master to come."
"In this way, with Master's protection, we can really reduce a lot of trouble in the imperial city of Kyoto."
"Smart." Su Qian nodded with a smile.
"Okay, it turns out you were well prepared. It's damning that you didn't tell me and made me worry for so long." The Ninth Princess reacted and punched Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an hurriedly avoided, and after being hit by the Ninth Princess a few times, she pursed her lips and said quickly.
"Ninth Princess, this is an imperial city, so it's better to have some rules."
The Ninth Princess looked around, but fortunately there was no one around. She stuck out her tongue and then returned to her serious look.
He led Su Qi'an slowly towards the gate of the imperial city, talking as he walked.
"Entering the Imperial Academy for asylum is a good idea, but are you just going to stay in the Imperial Academy?
"How is that possible? On the one hand, I want to seek refuge in the Hanlin Academy. On the other hand, I want to become a great scholar. After all, the more identity I have, the more protection I will have."
"When the time comes, once I have become a great scholar, I plan to leave Kyoto, return to Xizhou, and return to my hometown.
, build up your hometown well. "
Su Qi'an said, completely unaware of the disappointed look in the Ninth Princess's eyes.
But after thinking about it, Su Qi'an was right. Su Qi'an's biggest purpose in coming to Kyoto was to become famous and gain a higher power status.
Now, thanks to the auction, he has become famous in Kyoto, and has been appreciated by His Majesty. At the same time, he has gained the status of a royal family member.
When the time comes and there is a great Confucian, he will be respected wherever he goes in Da Liang.
Staying in the Imperial City of Kyoto will make the Ninth Princess a little frightened. It is also a good thing to leave here and return to her hometown.
The Ninth Princess quickly adjusted her mentality and suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart.
Su Qi'an continued, "By the way, Ninth Princess, I have also met all the princes today. I understand your thoughts, but I really want to know more about the former prince."
Su Qian's voice was much lowered, but the Ninth Princess raised her eyebrows and said.
"Originally, I could tell you about this, but since you have joined the Hanlin Academy and have the Master here, I think the Master will also tell you these things. So, when you enter the Hanlin Academy, you will know everything. .”
"This..." The corner of Su Qian's mouth twitched.
Yes, he was indeed allowed to enter the Hanlin Academy, but it did not mean that the relationship between Su Qi'an and this literary leader was that good.
Su Qi'an didn't believe it. Just relying on his previous appreciation for him, this gentleman could tell him everything.
Seeing Su Qi'an's deflated expression, the Ninth Princess covered her mouth and chuckled, a completely vengeful laugh.
After a while, Su Qi'an got on the carriage. When she was about to leave, the Ninth Princess seemed to have thought of something and said to Su Qi'an.
"Sir, when you enter the Hanlin Academy, you must study hard and don't embarrass the Hanlin Academy."
This inexplicable reminder from the Ninth Princess puzzled Su Qi'an. Looking at the playful expression on the Ninth Princess's face, Su Qi'an suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pit waiting for him ahead.
