In the Chu royal residence.
Li Tai and Li You stared at each other, but it was obvious that Li You's gaze was extremely unfriendly.
"Yang Jie, long time no see."
Li Tai smiled and cupped his hands, but Li You snorted."Royal brother, what are you doing here?"
This rather impolite tone made Li Tai's eyes widen. When did he offend him?
Li Tai didn't know that Li You was using him as a punching bag. He was using Li Tai as an outlet to vent his displeasure from Li Chengqian finding fault with him and the generals looking down on him.
Moreover, in Li You's opinion, Li Tai had also never come to see Li You once in the past. Now that he had suddenly come, there was no doubt that he had ill intentions.
" Say it." Li You casually threw the Xuan paper he brought back onto the table." Did Imperial Brother also come for the few thousand strings of money?"”
"How did you…"
Li Tai subconsciously opened his mouth wide in shock.
F * ck! I haven't even said anything yet. How did he know?
However, Li Tai was indeed Li Tai. He instantly calmed himself down and said with a smile,"What is Yang Jie talking about? His Imperial Brother had come this time to inform Yang Jie of one thing. This year's first month poetry meet was about to begin.”
"Poetry Meet in the first month?"
Li You was stunned when he heard that. He thought hard for a while and found out what it was from Li You's original memory.
The so-called New Year Poetry Meet was a gathering of the princes and princesses in the Imperial Palace to celebrate the new year. Many officials and sons of officials would be invited to participate in the Poetry Meet. It was a very famous high-level elegant poetry meet in the Great Tang.
After all, how could the poetry meets organized by the local scholars compare to the prestigious status of the participants who were all princes and princesses?
Moreover, this first month poetry meet was also a place for the princes to display their talents and win over the officials of the court. It was undoubtedly clear at a glance which prince was more outstanding, and the importance that the various large families and forces attached to the princes would be greatly tilted!
However, the Li You of the past knew nothing about this and even hated it. To him, he preferred to go out hunting and exercise, so he almost never participated in the New Year Poetry Meet.
"This Li Tai isn't as stupid as Li Chengqian. At least he'll find a reasonable reason to come over.”
Li You snorted in his heart and continued to wait for Li Tai to say something.
"This year's New Year Poetry Meet can be said to be of the highest standard in history. Even Father will participate. It's a good opportunity to perform in front of Father and leave a good impression in front of the officials.”
Li Tai revealed a fake smile and said," That's why I'm here to remind you not to miss such an important event. At the very least, you should get in touch with your brothers and sisters.”
Li Tai only felt that his reason was impeccable, and he also revealed his love and concern for Li You everywhere, as if he was here to remind Li You not to miss a good opportunity to perform in front of Li Shimin and the officials.
"In any case, Li You was ignorant and incompetent in the past. Even if he went to the New Year Poetry Meet, he would only be a foil. Coincidentally, I can also use this reason to show mercy to Li You. It's simply perfect!”
The more Li Tai thought about it, the more pleased he became. He was very sure that he would probably be the champion of this January Poetry Meet again!
Just as Li Tai was feeling smug, Li You's voice that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling could be heard."Thank you very much, Imperial Brother. Is there anything else? If not…"
Li You looked at Yaoli behind him and said,"Yaoli, send the guests out!"”
"I don't need much…eh?" Li Tai was stunned." Wait, are you chasing me away?!”
Why did this Li You not play by the rules at all?!
However, Yao Li was only loyal to Li You and did not care about Li Tai's status at all. After receiving the order, he decisively went forward to expel Li Tai.
At this moment, an old voice sounded from the side,""Stop! Wasn't His Highness King Chu's words and actions too rude?”
"You are…"
Li You raised his hand to stop him from leaving and looked at the person who spoke.
The man snorted arrogantly and cupped his hands."Greetings, Your Highness King Chu. This old man is Wang Gui, the teacher of Your Highness King Yue.”
Wang Gui!
Upon hearing this name, Li You immediately remembered. After all, Wang Gui's name was quite resounding in the Tang Dynasty. He was one of the four famous prime ministers of the early Tang Dynasty!
" So it's Lord Wang." Li You also cupped his hands and said," I didn't notice Lord Wang just now. I'm really rude."”
Wang Gui nodded, but he didn't reveal any unnecessary emotions.
After all, as Li Tai's teacher, he was still on Li Tai's side, so he wouldn't show any courtesy to the other princes. Moreover, to be honest, Wang Gui also looked down on Li You in his heart, so he didn't put Li You in his eyes at all.
This couldn't be helped. Who asked Li You to be famous for being ignorant and incompetent in the past?
According to the rumors Wang Gui had heard, Li You was the most useless of all the princes. Not only did he like to make friends with villains, but he also did not like reading and only liked to do rough things like hunting.
While Li You was observing Wang Gui, Li Tai was also observing Yaoli.
" This person is calm and composed. He can stay close to Li You, so it's obvious that Li You thinks highly of him. But judging from his clothes, he's not a servant of the Chu royal residence. Even if he knows my identity, he's not surprised at all. He has a faint aura of transcendence!”
The more he observed, the more Li Tai could feel that Yaoli's temperament was extraordinary. Combined with all the other signs, Li Tai immediately deduced that this person was the expert he was looking for!
"This expert called Yaoli should be the person who attacked Li You behind his back!”
Li Tai was secretly shocked. With just a simple move, he was able to make Li You, this idiot, into Li Shiming's eyes and even win his favor. It was really not simple!
Thinking of this, Li Tai became even more determined to rope him in!
"Such an expert must be pulled over to the Yue Prince's Estate!”
