Chapter 177 Birthday Banquet

The third gentleman from White Deer Academy came to Beijing, and all the scholars in Luo City went crazy.

In front of the embassy, ​​there is a bustling crowd every day, and even many officials from Daxia come to visit.

It is said that the third gentleman treated people like a spring breeze, and everyone who met him would give him a thumbs up.

Some people even suggested that Mr. San should be given an official position in Daxia. People like Mr. San should belong to the whole world and should not only belong to Dali.

Even Li Qingxuan underestimated the charm of these three gentlemen.

In the small courtyard, Long Qingfeng walked in angrily.

After seeing Li Qingxuan, he even forgot to salute and shouted directly: "What kind of magic power does that third gentleman have? He has fascinated the entire literary world of Daxia."

"Now many people are actually accusing His Highness King You of not coming to the city gate to greet him that day. These literati of Daxia, who eat and drink from Daxia, and receive subsidies from the court, are now turning their elbows outward to help that three-year-old man. Speak, sir."

Long Qingfeng was very angry.

"Oh, there's another thing."

Li Qingxuan did not expect that the flames of war would now be burned on himself.

These scholars in Daxia are also hateful and have forgotten how Dali invaded the borders of Daxia.

But since his mouth was so long, Li Qingxuan had nothing to do and just smiled.

"Let them be, scolding me won't make me lose any weight."

After hearing Li Qingxuan's words, Long Qingfeng sat there angrily, still angry.

In the Daxia Palace, Hua Zhi looked at Xue Gang below with a cold face.

"I heard that there have been many negative remarks against King You recently. Let me find out who is spreading these remarks."

 Huazhi was very angry. It was really hateful that someone dared to slander her husband.

"Your Majesty, what should I do if I find out that it comes from the Dali Envoy Group, or even from the mouth of the third gentleman?"

Xue Gang asked in a low voice.

"No matter who slanders King You, I will never forgive him lightly, and the third gentleman is no exception."

"Hasn't His Majesty always admired the third gentleman's poetry and thought highly of him?"

Xue Gang said doubtfully.

"I used to think that he wrote good poems and admired his literary talents, but compared to King You, he is nothing. Anyone who dares to slander King You is my enemy."

"I understand."

Xue Gang nodded.

"I'll go check it out right now."

At the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Mei Changgong, the imperial censor, came to visit.

"I didn't expect that the influence of that third gentleman would be so great, and all the scholars in the capital would be excited."

Mei Changgong said worriedly.

"Furthermore, there have been recent reports that His Highness Prince You was disrespectful to Mr. Third, and the Dali envoys did not even go to greet him when they arrived in Beijing."

"Although I also dislike that Mr. Third, his prestige in the scholar circles is too high. It is really short-sighted for King You not to greet him."

"It will only make people think that I, Daxia, have no manners."

"If you ask me, this King You is still too young, a little ignorant, and doesn't understand the overall situation."

When he said these words, he originally thought that the Imperial Master Yang Xuan, who had always disliked King You, would echo his argument.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuanji shook his head.

"So what about the third gentleman from Dali? I think there is nothing wrong with what King You did."

"I heard that the third gentleman, Shi Kui, who is known as Dali, is the most promising successor of the dean of White Deer Academy."

"If he comes to Daxia this time and is suppressed in terms of literary talent, or even in academic terms, it will be a heavy blow not only to White Deer Academy, but to the entire Dali."

"What does the Imperial Master mean by this?"

Mei Changgong was a smart man, and he immediately realized that Yang Xuanji's words could not be unintentional.

"His Royal Highness Youwang may give us some surprises."

Yang Xuanji smiled slightly and said no more.

Ever since he last learned from Xue Gang that Li Qingxuan was the founder of mind science, his impression of Li Qingxuan had greatly changed.

Of course, he has not forgotten the revenge for being beaten up.

"When I regain my ninth-level strength in the future, I will definitely return it."

Yang Xuanji secretly swore in his heart.

The birthday banquet finally started.

The Empress Dowager's birthday is a very grand event.

Not only envoys from various countries will send gifts, but officials from all over Daxia will also send gifts, and relatives of the royal family will also come, which is very lively.

In the morning, Li Qingxuan and Huazhi walked to the palace together.

The birthday banquet will be held in the Royal Garden.

The weather is sunny today, and the air has a warm smell.

Many people have come to the Imperial Garden, some are talking loudly, and some are showing off poetry.

Huazhi is the emperor, so naturally he will appear at the end.

Li Qingxuan and Yuan Guang walked into the garden together.

"Whether you can suppress that third gentleman today depends entirely on His Highness."

Yuan Guang said to Li Qingxuan.

He has high hopes for Li Qingxuan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan. I have prepared 300 poems today. I have to let that third gentleman see what it means to be a poet."

"hehe."

Yuan Guang smiled and thought Li Qingxuan was joking.

One good poem is enough. Three hundred poems are not that many to put together all the masterpieces of Bactria since the beginning of civilized records.

Of course, this also shows from the side that His Highness Prince You is confident.

It actually made Yuan Guang look forward to it.

The poetry world of Daxia has been in decline for a long time.

"Why don't we go see the third gentleman first?"

Yuan Guang said.

"Then it's better to have someone invite him over."

Li Qingxuan found a seat and sat down.

Yuan Guang nodded and asked Ning Yuan, the student next to him, to invite him.

On the other side, many people had already gathered around Mr. Third.

There are officials from Daxia and some famous talents.

Ning Yuan walked over, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the front of the third gentleman.

Even Ning Yuan couldn't help but be impressed when he saw the magnanimity of the third gentleman. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Bo Ningyuan, the head of the Punishment Department, has met the third gentleman."

"It turns out to be Mr. Ning. I wonder what happened to Mr. Ning?"

There is indeed a big gap between the status of a small head of the Criminal Department and Mr. San.

However, these three gentlemen did not show any impatience and smiled.

"By the order of King You, I would like to invite the third gentleman to come over and get together."

After hearing Ning Yuan's words, the third gentleman's face immediately turned cold.

"Please tell His Highness Prince You that I want to discuss poetry with the talented scholar here. If he wants to see Mr. me, he can just come directly. Mr. I really don't have time to see him."

The smile on Ning Yuan's face stopped abruptly.

The dignified King You invited me, but the other party dared to put on airs.

This third gentleman is really too arrogant.

A young man next to him said loudly: "Who is my third gentleman? If King You wants to see him, please ask him to come over in person."

"I heard that King You is just a warrior, and he is indeed a reckless man."

"you..."

Ning Yuan was about to get angry.

"Ning Yuan, Mr. Third is really too busy to get away. Prince You wants to see you, just let him come."

"Yes, at the city gate before, King You, as the minister of Honglu Temple, did not go to greet you. It was already King You's fault. He should apologize to Mr. Xiang."

The people around said all kinds of things.

Even though Ning Yuan was usually good-tempered, he couldn't help but snorted coldly at this moment: "As officials of Daxia, you are speaking for the people of Dali."

"And Mr. Third, although you are famous all over the world, I think you are nothing more than that."

After saying that, he walked away directly.

When Mr. Third heard this, he just smiled and said nothing.

It's your own reputation. When something happens, you don't have to speak at all, someone will stand up for you.

So what if it's in Daxia's territory? That King You is also going to be defeated.
