One hundred and seventy, guests from the palace
On the afternoon of the third year of the Chinese New Year, relatives came to visit Li Ye one after another. After a day of panic, many people must have received news about his saving the emperor.
Most of them are royal relatives, and they must come back after entering the palace. Everyone brought the brigade to protect the hospital, obviously they were still worried.
At this time, he is nothing more than a good reputation. After all, he is very good at saving the driver, and he is considered a great reputation. So he can still make a name for him when he is injured in the rescue.
But don’t underestimate this kind of reputation. After all, fame is gradually accumulating. Whether it’s fake or hypocritical, do nothing?
This is like trying to let others know their deeds and reputation, but they are self-righteous and unscrupulous. In the end, they can blame others for being blind and not knowing their talents?
Everyone is human, not gods. If you don’t show it to others, how others understand.
Therefore, Li Yedao was not disgusted with these relatives who came to comfort him, but it was really troublesome for many people, so he took Qiu'er Yue'er to set up a table at the door of the palace and simply sat there.
Waiting at the door, one came to receive the other and said a few words, but he didn't care when he entered the mansion, and Yan Bi arranged for him.
This greatly reduces his workload without being rude. After all, it is so etiquette that it is so etiquette that makes people have nothing to say.
Everyone came to the door just to gain a reputation, and few of them cared about him sincerely. This was a mess. He was hurt and did not welcome the rudeness. These were all royal relatives, and they were inevitably gossiped about them.
When they were greeted, the wound would hurt as soon as they moved. If there was no alcohol, it might cause the wound to get inflamed. So Li Ye didn't want to treat him well. They just came to make a good reputation, and everyone was not in trouble and left soon.
The last one came was his nominal guardian, his emperor uncle Li Yu.
Li Yu looks in his thirties, has a thin face, a dark eye socket, a melancholy expression, and doesn't talk much, but he is indeed a handsome old guy. No wonder he lingers in the fireworks and likes poetry and songs.
This time, there are also my little cousin who came to pay New Year's greetings.
Li Ye has a good impression of him, the emperor uncle. He gave him three thousand taels last time during the economic crisis of the royal family. Later, he also invited him to stay up to the New Year and asked his cousin to come to pay New Year's greetings. Those who came before now know that they were here, but no one came to pay New Year's greetings the day before yesterday.
Li Ye welcomed the two into the house. Li Yu was a cowardly prince, but he couldn't help but instruct: "If you have injuries, you don't have to welcome them. If you stay in the house, you will say that you can't afford to be sick, so what can they do?"
Li Ye almost couldn't help laughing. He was like this when he was a child, so you are an ordinary prince and didn't become a king at the beginning.
Although he thought so in his heart, Li Ye naturally expressed his understanding and thanked him for his concern.
Then Li Yu asked about his recent situation and said ashamed that he, as an uncle, did not take good care of him. If he had any difficulties, he could tell him directly. Wait. Li Ye nodded. He is not a strong man, and he usually likes elegance and literary works, so he speaks comfortably.
Speaking of the same thing, Li Yu suddenly asked Qiu'er and Yue'er to take their little cousin out to play and see the scenery of the royal palace. Li Ye asked the two girls to go there.
Then he mysteriously took out an invitation from his sleeve: "On the evening of the ninth day of the lunar month, my uncle is going to hold a dinner at Fumeng Tower. You are not young anymore. Come if you have time."
It turned out that this was the case. No wonder the two girls wanted to take away their little cousin, Fu Menglou and Kyoto, and they were also the property of the Tian family in the west of Jing. The virtuous concubine in the palace, Li Yu's biological mother, is the Tian family.
The unreasonable Li Yu showed him a smile that even a man knew. Li Ye was not easy to refuse. How could he refuse such a thing? So he also received an invitation. After a while, the little cousin wanted to find his father, so the two girls brought her back, so Li Yu stopped talking about this topic.
In the afternoon, he wanted to keep them for dinner, but Li Yu was afraid that his wife would blame him and said that he would go home to accompany her during the Chinese New Year, so he left early. Li Ye had to sigh that his uncle was also a strange man. He was afraid of his wife and was also romantic.
Later, Chen Yu, who was next door, actually came, which surprised Li Ye and went out to greet him in person.
The old man just bowed first, and did not enter the door, and said at the door: "The prince is injured, so there is no need to give him a gift."
As he said that, he talked to Li Ye outside the door: "I heard about yesterday, and I must have visited the palace, but I didn't think that if it weren't for the prince, the emperor, how could he be at peace? Therefore, those who did not worship the prince and worship the emperor first were all clinging to power."
"It's cold outside, Lord Chen should come to the mansion and talk." Li Ye advised him again.
The old man still shook his head: "This time I came to thank the prince. The prince saved the emperor to save the country. How could he not thank the minister as a minister?" As he said that, he put down the crutches in his hand and thanked him three times. Li Ye could not stop such a great gift, knowing that such an old man was stubborn.
He could only wait until he finished his salute and invited him to the mansion again.
Chen Yu shook his head and tried hard to pick up the crutch. Li Ye hurriedly asked his servants to help him. After getting the crutch, the old man continued: "Thank you for the prince is the king and the country, and this is the public, but the prince hurt me and almost died. I also remember this hatred, which is for personal gain, so I did not enter the royal palace." Then he said goodbye.
Li Ye was so amused and crying that he was really a strange old man.
He turned around and bowed, "On the 15th day of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, I will hold a Lantern Festival poetry meeting in Yongyue Pavilion. I hope the prince will also be present. Recently, the stroke of Beijing has been criticized for being bad for the prince. It is reasonable for those who are clear and turbid to be turbid, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall to seek benefits and avoid harm. It is also a gentleman to clean himself. Do not deliberately hide his shortcomings. Young and vigorous is not a bad thing."
Li Ye nodded. He actually had a slight understanding. The old man probably hoped that he could use poetry to cleanse his stigma, but he had made arrangements. In a few days, the tone of Beijing would naturally change.
After watching him leave, Li Ye returned to the palace. The lively He Qian also came out of the inner hall. She also walked out of the shadow of yesterday. She did not leave at this time, but there were too many people who were afraid of causing misunderstandings, so she kept hiding in the back hall.
As a result, someone came again. Yan Shen hurriedly reported that it was Gillian who came. He Qian wanted to hide back again, but was stopped by Li Ye: "It's Gillian who came. Don't you know Gillian and Gillian? What are you hiding?"
"Oh, yes, haha... I know Sister Jiao, I... I forgot." The little girl said and ran out: "I'll pick up Sister Jiao."
Not only Gillian came, but also the coachman, her maid Xiaohui and four guards with knives.
After all, that happened yesterday, so you should be careful when going out today.
Gillian hurried into the mansion. When she saw Li Ye, she was crying and couldn't help crying, which made him have to comfort her quickly. She must have been worried about what happened yesterday for the whole day.
Yesterday, all the doors were not allowed to open or go out to the streets. All kinds of rumors were flying around and people were in panic. There must be something about themselves. The little girl was anxious and afraid when she heard this, and she did not dare to go out.
Until this afternoon, the whole city was lifted from alert and the city gate opened again, she could not come in a hurry.
After crying, the little girl became even more embarrassed. She probably understood how rude she had done. Fortunately, there was no one else around, so she quickly pretended to pull He Qian and Qiu'er Yue'er, and went to ask what happened yesterday, and turned her back to him.
Li Ye was funny. If He Qian was a person who didn't care about etiquette at all, she was straightforward and acted at will. Then Gillian was the opposite. She was knowledgeable and educated. She was born in a family of scholars since childhood. She was exaggerated by the atmosphere of books, and adhered to etiquette. She was inspired by the etiquette and was determined by emotions and rituals.
