It was not surprising that he was able to meet with Rong Li outside Shangqing Hall.

He even specially switched seats with someone else and stood next to Rong Li. He smiled and asked, "Didn't you not have a post?

How did you get in? "

"All of us are not to be feared. You and Princess Wenqing are the only ones …" Rong Li looked ahead indifferently.

Seeing that this person had no intention of responding, seeing that he could not figure anything out, he returned to his seat in a bored manner.

Not long after, the eunuchs of the Hall of State sent their men into the hall. There were at least a hundred of them, and they followed the chief eunuch into the hall.

On the high dragon throne, with the ruler of the country already in place, the disciples bowed in accordance to the rules, proclaiming "Long live the king".

Because Rong Qing was the son of the Seventh Prince, her position was relatively close to the front, and now that Rong Li had replaced Rong Qing, they directly stood in the first row, which could be said to be very eye-catching.

Rong Jindong also saw Rong Li. She asked the eunuch meaningfully, "Is everyone here?"

The Old Eunuch replied, "The third young master of Seventh Prince's Mansion has been well. Other than him, the others have all come."

Rong Jindong groaned. Then, she slowly said a few words of hidden vigilance, her meaning was similar to what Rong Luo had said; she wanted these disciples to not make a fuss, and not lose face in front of outsiders.

After talking for a quarter of an hour, Rong Jindong stopped. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked: "Is the feast ready?"

The old eunuch said, "It's over. We'll be waiting for the various young masters to take their seats."

Rong Jindong then personally led the hundred over ducklings to the side hall.

There were a lot of dishes in the side hall, all placed in different seats. A hundred or so ducklings, with different identities, all sat down. Rong Jindong ordered some servants to pass the dishes to them.

Because it was a banquet set up by the emperor, and the emperor had yet to leave, the ducks didn't dare to act presumptuously. They all ate very orderly and didn't even dare to speak loudly.

He's already here, hiding in the dark and watching them?

Or would he come later?

Everyone had already started dressing properly early in the morning after seeing Princess Wen Qing. Now, most of the day had passed and no one was around, so everyone was anxious and didn't dare to eat well, afraid that if they ate too much, they would lose their manners and lose their points when they saw the princess.

After a simple lunch, Rong Jindong called for people to send the various young masters off.

Rong Jindong glanced at Rong Luo, and asked indifferently: "Is Uncle Wang still busy?"

"It's not that I'm busy, it's you, Your Majesty. Do you have anything to say?"

Rong Jindong leaned on the dragon throne, looking calm and collected: "What business do you have with me?

What exactly is Uncle Wang trying to say? "

He looked around and saw that the other young masters were also about to cry. For a moment, hundreds of ducklings looked at each other in dismay, feeling that they had been fooled. What about choosing a husband for Princess Wenqing, it turned out to be false rumors! To think they were looking forward to it! There was nothing at all! Rong Li stood in the first row. He was the only one who was not affected by the changes in mood. However, he was also deep in his thoughts, his expression constantly changing.

If today was not the selection of a husband for Princess Wenqing, but merely a beating, then would that mean that Princess Wenqing's marriage was already set three days ago at the time of the Sage?

Who was it?

The Emperor?

Rong Li pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

The eunuchs led the ducks out of the side hall, and once they were outside, the ducks were no longer satisfied, complaining one or two at a time, "In the end, who started talking about choosing a husband?

I was the one who ordered the shop to make these clothes. I wanted to show off in front of Princess Wen Qing, but... Eh, why is there oil on it?

It must have been spilled during the meal! "

"You can consider that as good, there's only one piece of clothing. My mother stole my jade pendant from my father's study. It's a family heirloom and it's specially made for me. I even thought I'd be able to stand out today …" "I think that the matter between Princess Wen Qing and the Emperor should have already been settled. Let's not get too excited. There's no hope for both of us."

"It must have been set. My father said that for the next few days, the Immortal Swallow Empire's envoy would come to the palace on their holiday. They are probably planning on getting married."

"Eh, Third Prince …" Someone saw Rong Li. "Do you know what's going on?"

Rong Li shook his head.

That person sighed, "Before the Second Prince came, the Emperor had placed her trust in the Second Prince the most. I had thought that you would know something …" The eunuchs sighed. The eunuch who was leading the way could not bear to listen any longer. He smiled and said, "My lords, you have misunderstood me. Today, we have indeed come to choose a husband for Princess Wenqing."

Everyone looked at him, "What, you really want a husband?

But we haven't seen the princess? "

The eunuch said, "Isn't there a screen on the right side of the side palace? Young masters, you've all seen what you've done while eating, and you've seen it from behind the screen."

Everyone was shocked, "Then... "Then …" The eunuch replied, "The princess left through the back door halfway through the banquet. At that time, she had already chosen someone."

Everyone excitedly asked, "Who's that? Who did she choose?"

The eunuch then started to sell off the officials, shaking his head as he said, "Tomorrow, whoever will be lucky enough to be summoned by the Emperor will be the person chosen by the princess."

All of a sudden, the ducklings looked at each other warily, and at the same time, they started to recall if they had done anything inappropriate while they were eating.

Rong Li followed the crowd and left the palace, returning to the Third Prince's Mansion.

When Ji Xiaqiu heard that his grandson had returned early today, she wanted to drag him out to go shopping and see if they could coincidentally meet the second young mistress of Cheng Guoguo.

When she arrived at her grandson's study, she found him holding a book, frozen like a statue, and standing by the window.

Ji Xiaqiu subconsciously called out, "Xiaoli?"

Only then did Rong Li come back to his senses. He put down the book in his hands and turned around. "Grandmother."

Ji Xiaqiu saw that he was in a daze and asked, "What happened?

"Are you not feeling well?"

Rong Li pressed the center of his brows and shook his head, "Nothing."

Ji Xiaqiu then suggested that they go shopping together.

Rong Li wanted to refuse, but after a moment of silence, he agreed. "Alright."

Ji Xiaqiu was very disappointed, she felt that today was a fortuitous day, if she wanted to say it or not, she could just return, but in the end, her grandson disagreed.

"Since you've come out, let's take a walk for a while."

Ji Xiaqiu watched her grandson get more excited, and then continued to stroll around.

Who knew that after walking for four hours, Ji Xiaqiu was already too tired to even walk on the road.

It just so happened that they had arrived at West Street at this very moment. In front of them was a royal branch of the royal family, with Rong Li casually saying, "Although the branch is temporarily reserved for foreign envoys, it's still a place for the royal family. If we pass by and rest, someone will always come and greet us."

Ji Xiaqiu said in a serious tone: "We just hitched the carriage and got in, wouldn't it be fine for us to go home?"

Ji Xiaqiu pointed to the nearby teahouse: "We can also have tea in the teahouse."

Rong Li said, "The flow of people is complicated."

Ji Xiaqiu still wanted to say something.

Rong Li said, "Then let's go to another restaurant."

With that said, he took the lead and headed straight for the other rooms. He wanted to chat with more like-minded people about 'Darling of the Bone Corrosion, Mastermind's Consort' and WeChat about 'reading literature' and reading novels, talk about life and seek out friends ~
