At a quarter past noon, there was a banquet in the palace to celebrate the appointment of the new Imperial Master, and all the courtiers were beaming with joy.
After all, the position of National Preceptor is personally granted by the Emperor and cannot be controlled by them.
In addition, it has no impact on their official positions. Even if there are dissatisfied people, they dare not speak out in front of everyone.
With the wine and delicious food available, and the ability to please the emperor, why would the ministers not do so?
Even the left and right prime ministers who had objections changed their views on the new imperial master after seeing Li Ye lowering his attitude.
You think that the emperor is wise enough to invite the old master's personal disciples in the face of national crisis. What kind of courage is this?
The imperial banquet was hosted by a wine ceremony, and there was laughter for a while. However, when everyone was looking for the new imperial master to toast, they were told that the two imperial masters had been invited away by the emperor to plan the incident in southern Xinjiang.
For a moment, all the ministers suddenly realized that the lover did not come here for the official position of the national division, but sincerely shared the king's worries and fought for the division.
The ministers' favorable impression of the new imperial advisor has changed again.
...
Before the royal banquet in the palace was over, the news of the new imperial master's canonization had spread throughout the imperial city.
Li Ye, a disciple of the old national master and a disciple of Prajna Temple, a fifteen-year-old boy, took over as the national master of the dynasty.
For a time, everyone in the city was inquiring about the origin of the Imperial Master, and some people even guessed that the Imperial Master was the mysterious wild boy who played the piano at Huamanlou that night and donated 800 gold coins.
If this is really the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a piece of music from the Imperial Master in the future, even if it costs tens of thousands of gold.
At this time, in the second prince's residence, Xia Yunjie's face was livid, as gloomy as winter.
This morning, because Li Fei was not feeling well, she called him over to accompany her, so she missed Li Ye's canonization ceremony.
Even so, the eunuchs and maids in the palace got word of it and told Concubine Li the news.
"This matter was your father's decision. He didn't even tell me. He hid it alone for five years. It is beyond the power of you and me to change it. From now on, put your mind aside. Even if you don't want to please him, you can't. Don’t show your emotions in front of others.”
Concubine Li sighed quietly. She never expected that the emperor had planned today's situation five years ago.
Could it be that what the second prince did back then was all under his eyes?
Thinking of this, Li Fei felt like she was facing an abyss and felt her head hurt even more.
Looking at the second prince in front of him, he sighed softly and said: "Fortunately, the national advisor usually ignores state affairs. You are also a general now. He should not come to trouble you. Be more careful in your actions in the future. "
The second prince nodded and looked out the window speechlessly.
The mother and son sat there for an hour and couldn't find any solution.
After a long time, Concubine Li said: "I will discuss it with your uncle another day to see how to deal with this matter. You should go back home first, and at least don't do anything until the army goes out."
After saying that, he waved his hand and closed his eyes.
...
In the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, Ye Zhiqiu and Lin Yueru put the food on the table, but their husband and Li Ye did not come back for a long time.
But Old God Mumu was there, sitting aside eating melon seeds.
It wasn't until Xiaoxue complained that she was hungry that Mu Mu got up. She turned her head and looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "My brother and my husband won't be back for dinner. I guess they will eat in the palace right now."
Lin Yueru was about to serve Shangguan Qiu Ming a meal. When she heard Mu Mu's words, she couldn't help but ask: "Mu Mu, how do you know? Did sir tell you when he went out?"
Mu Mu made a face at her and said with a smile, "Guess."
Ye Zhiqiu was angry, glared at her and said: "The little girl is getting older and older, and she is becoming more and more outrageous. Speak quickly."
Mu Mu saw Ye Zhiqiu getting angry, and then Hua Zuo smiled mysteriously and said, "Today is my brother's big day, and I probably won't be able to come back tonight."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, came over, pinched her ears and said, "Speak humanly."
Mu Mu turned her head and shook off Ye Zhiqiu's hand.
He yelled: "Sir, from today onwards, I am no longer a national preceptor. From now on, the national preceptor of the five regions will be my elder brother. Mother, you are now the mother of the national preceptor. Don't always twist other people's ears."
After saying this, he proudly said to himself with his little waist in his hands: "I am now considered the National Master's sister, and you, little brat, you are also the National Master's sister."
Looking at Li Xiaoxue, Mu Mu made another face.
"What, Ye'er has become a national master? Isn't this chaos?" Ye Zhiqiu was frightened.
"What? This little guy became the national advisor of the Five Domains Dynasty overnight?" Lin Yueru didn't believe it either.
On the other hand, the master who was sitting next to him and holding a book smiled and said, "Sir, what is possible when he is looking at him? Didn't you hear what he said? It was an emergency that summoned Ye'er back this time. This must be the case."
Li Xiaoxue didn't care. She waved her little hand and said, "From now on, Xiaoxue will be the national master's sister."
Mu Mu nodded, touched her head and said, "We are both."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a long time, then he sat down softly against the dining table, looked at Mu Mu and said, "Damn girl, have you known about this for a long time?"
Mu Mu stuck out her tongue at her and said with a smile: "My husband and brother are not allowed to talk, so Mu Mu naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Anyway, this will let you know. When my husband and brother come back, won't you know better?"
Lin Yueru looked at Ye Zhiqiu who was in a daze and sat down holding the table.
He said blankly: "Li Ye is two years younger than Wu Shuang, and he was actually canonized as a national master."
The two of them were completely shocked by Mu Mu's words.
Only the Master smiled and said seriously: "There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. This is what he said."
Looking at the faces of everyone, Mu Mu thought to herself, I still have something to tell you. If you knew that your brother would go to southern Xinjiang with the army in six days, it would be strange for you not to die in a hurry.
Ye Zhiqiu came back to his senses, looked at Lin Yueru, and said softly: "Let's eat, the children are starving."
...
The young lady doesn't know yet about Li Ye being canonized as a national teacher. The Royal Academy is still two days away from the Imperial City, so the information is not that well-informed.
Dongfang Yu'er didn't know that on the second day of the night full of flowers, the weather was clear after the snow, so the second prince sent someone to take her back to the Royal Academy. After all, Dongfang Yu'er still wanted to continue practicing here.
It should have been the first thing the two girls knew, but by some mistake, they didn't know it until the last moment. This cannot but be said to be such a cruel arrangement of fate.
...
Naturally, Huamanlou received the news immediately, and Huamanlou asked someone to invite Nalanyu over.
The two of them were sitting on the terrace in the garden, with a pot of charcoal fire burning beside them.
"Isn't it funny that I and you, Li Ye, kept it secret that night?" Hua Tianxia looked at her and asked bitterly.
Today, Hua Tianxia changed her red outfit into a plain white skirt, which was very popular in Nalan Yu's eyes.
Nalanyu spread his hands and said with a smile: "He didn't let me say it, and you didn't ask, do you blame me?"
Hua Tianxia was so angry that she kicked him and said, "Are you deliberately watching my joke?"
Nalan Yu was stunned and said with a smile: "You are the one who jumped out and called me a wild boy who doesn't know etiquette. I don't understand. The two of us just came in to drink tea and then left. How could we offend you?" How come you don’t understand etiquette? If you don’t believe me, ask Luo Yu, but we haven’t offended anyone.”
Nalan Yu was not a light-hearted person. He was already very angry that night. Even if it was the woman he liked, so what?
"I haven't seen him for a few years. I didn't expect that that inconspicuous little guy back then is now the national advisor of the dynasty. When I see him again in the future, won't I have to salute him?"
Hua Tianxia talks to himself.
"It seems so." Nalan Yu laughed.
"You made a lie that day, saying that if a family dared to lie to you, they would not be able to get out of this Huamanlou. After all, the thousands of gold coins my brother deceived are still in your Huamanlou."
At this point, Hua Tianxia curled his lips and yelled: "Who would be greedy for some of his gold coins? You can take them away for him later to save me from being upset."
Nalan Yu shook his head, looked at Hua Tianxia and asked, "To be fair, is the song my brother played worth five thousand gold coins?"
Hua Tianxia thought for a while, then turned to look at the balcony where Li Ye was playing the piano that night.
He said softly: "Should we talk about that night? I'm afraid ninety out of a hundred people think it's not worth it. But if you want to listen to it again in the future, I'm afraid it will be hard to find."
After speaking, he sighed quietly.
Nalan Yu looked at her depressed look, patted his chest and said: "It's okay, as long as you want to hear it, I can invite him over, but you have to wait for two days, and it is estimated that he will not leave the palace in these two days. "
"What's the reason for this?" Hua Tianxia stared at Nalan Yu with wide eyes.
"Why? I told Luo Yu that day that she had to hurry up if she wanted to invite my brother, otherwise she wouldn't be able to invite him in the future. The war in southern Xinjiang is tense, and soon the national division will lead an army to help. This will probably make the emperor The Lord has many important things to tell Mr. Hu, do you think he is free?"
After a pause, he continued: "Even I will go with him to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang in a few days. Even if you want to buy me a drink, I won't be free."
"You are also going to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang? Aren't you the head chamberlain? On what battlefield?" Hua Tianxia couldn't help but frowned when he heard that Nalan Yu was going to the battlefield.
"Originally it was not my turn, but who made the Imperial Master my brother? If I don't go, who will? This is what the Master and the Emperor have appointed, and no one can change it."
At the thought of going to the battlefield, Nalanyu's blood boiled with excitement, but at the same time he was reluctant to separate from Hua Tianxia.
Although the two have different political views and their respective masters also have different opinions, these are just internal fights, a bloodless battle.
"I didn't expect that kid just came back and would be separated from his family again in the blink of an eye. Alas! It's not easy for him."
Hua Tianxia was speechless and sighed softly. "Take care on the battlefield and don't die in southern Xinjiang."
Nalan Yu grinned: "I feel sorry for me. Don't worry, we will all be fine. The life of the Imperial Master is much more valuable than mine. He is already gone. What should I be afraid of?"
"If you want to invite Li Ye over one day, just say that I will serve wine to see your two brothers off. I will prepare some daily necessities for you. After all, it is the cold winter season..."
Hua Tianxia moved her mouth, wanting to say more, but she felt something was stuck in her chest.
Nalanyu patted the table lightly and said with a smile: "Before going on the expedition, I will definitely let him come to Huamanlou."
The building suddenly became extremely quiet.
The few wintersweets that bloomed early in the garden are faintly permeated by the cold fragrance in the cold wind.
