"Ding! Purchasing nutrient fertilizer (upgrade) x2, cost 2000 Defiant Points!”
Yang Chen's mouth twitched. He had finally accumulated some Defiant Points, and now it was all used up just like that.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. These were all just what he needed.
With this thing, the corn and sweet potatoes he had carefully planted could also grow faster.
The next day.
The empress quickly sent someone over.
"Censor Yang…I have been ordered by His Majesty to bring Censor Yang to his new residence.”A minor official looked at Yang Chen obsequiously.
Yang Chen was now a popular person in the Emperor's eyes. They naturally had to curry favor with him.
Yang Chen nodded." I understand."”
Then, he followed the official into the carriage.
An hour later.
They stopped in front of a resplendent mansion.
The two of them got off the carriage.
"Censor Yang, this is the mansion His Majesty has bestowed upon you," the official said respectfully.”
Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a trace of surprise.
In front of him was a huge mansion that occupied an extremely vast area.
Two stone lions stood in front of the mansion, looking mighty and domineering. The roof of the mountain top was exquisite, and the painted red pillars were thick enough to wrap one's arms around them. The heavy door showed the glory of the past.
Yang Chen rubbed his chin." It's actually so magnificent."
"Censor Yang, this is the residence of a prince of the previous dynasty. It is very valuable and His Majesty values Censor Yang very much.”The official said respectfully.
Yang Chen nodded slightly. He then pushed the door open and entered. There were already many servant girls cleaning inside. At a glance, there were verandas and pavilions surrounding it. They looked exquisite and magnificent.
"These are the servants arranged by His Majesty to serve Censor Yang.”the official said.
Yang Chen rubbed his chin. This Wu Ling was quite considerate. It also saved him the trouble of worrying about this matter.
The official gave some instructions and then left.
When the servant maids saw Yang Chen, they all bowed." Greetings, Langjun."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, not putting on airs.
After a while.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the mansion.
The group stopped.
The person in the lead was dressed in luxurious clothes.
Inside the residence.
" Langjun, there's a guest," a servant girl said.
Yang Chen was stunned." Guest?"
He had just arrived here, and there were already guests?
He pondered for a moment." Who is it?"
"He claims to be the grandson of Xu Zhaozong, Minister Xu." the servant girl said.
Yang Chen rubbed his chin." Invite him to the side hall…"
"Yes."
After a while.
Yang Chen came to the side hall.
This side hall was also quite spacious, and the furnishings carried the style of the royal family.
When a young man saw him, he quickly stood up and cupped his hands."I am Xu Jingye, greetings to Imperial Censor Yang!”
"Brother Xu is too polite. Please take a seat."”
Xu Jingye sat down.
"Brother Xu, what brings you to my humble abode?”Yang Chen smiled.
"After grandfather found out that Censor Yang had been given a mansion, he asked me to bring some agile maids. It would be impossible for such a huge mansion to not have some sensible maids.”Xu Jingye said with a smile.
"A servant girl?" Yang Chen was stunned.
Xu Jingye clapped his hands, and the servant girls waiting outside immediately filed in.
They were pretty and graceful. They respectfully said to Yang Chen,"Greetings, Langjun."
"Other than that, I also brought some household items. Censor Yang, please do not decline.”Xu Jingye was quite enthusiastic.
Yang Chen was stunned. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't expected Xu Zhaozong to move so quickly.
Yang Chen naturally wouldn't reject the official of the Board of Rites 'goodwill. It wasn't anything valuable anyway.
He pondered for a moment." Brother Xu, it's a little too polite to call me Censor Yang. Why don't you just call me Zi 'an?"”
Xu Jingye had obviously done his homework. He immediately cupped his hands and said,"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Zian.”
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He did not expect Yang Chen to be so easy to get along with.
Xu Jingye had thought that Yang Chen would be arrogant since he had achieved success at a young age. However, it seemed like he was overthinking.
He had been instructed by Xu Zhaozong to come and befriend Yang Chen.
Now, everyone in the court could see that Yang Chen was the Emperor's favorite.
Xu Zhaozong, this kind of crafty old figure, naturally would not give up the opportunity to befriend Yang Chen.
"Brother Xu, you've troubled me," said Yang Chen with a smile.
Xu Jingye said seriously," Zian has done his best for the Great Zhou. What I did was just a small matter. Zian, don't worry."”
As the grandson of Xu Zhaozong, his speech and mannerisms were impeccable, and he was filled with the demeanor of a disciple of a great clan.
"Oh right, I almost forgot. There's one more thing.”Xu Jingye patted his head." The annual cultural gathering of Lanting Garden is about to begin. Zian, don't miss it."”
"Wenhui?" Yang Chen was stunned. He had never heard of this literary gathering before.
Xu Jingye smiled." This is a literary gathering organized by Princess Fenyang. Every year, a large number of scholars and scholars will gather, including many officials. This is a grand event in Chang 'an. It is also a place for scholars to display their talents."
"Princess Fen Yang?" Yang Chen's lips twitched. So it was her.
"There will be many young ladies from noble families attending the cultural gathering," Xu Jingye said with a smile.
He winked and said,"With Zian's talent, these women will definitely bow down to him."”
Yang Chen's mouth twitched.
He did not speak.
Footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.
"Langjun, Princess Fenyang's men are here.”the servant girl said.
Yang Chen and Xu Jingye were stunned. What a coincidence?
"Bring them over," Yang Chen muttered.
"Yes." the servant girl said.
After a while.
Under the lead of this servant girl, a few palace maids walked in.
"This servant greets Imperial Censor Yang." The leader of the group said to Yang Chen.
"How has Princess Fenyang been recently?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.”
"Your Highness is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Censor Yang. This is the invitation that Your Highness sent this servant to deliver.”The palace maid took out a golden invitation card.
"Invitation?" Yang Chen frowned.
"It's an invitation to the Lanting Garden's cultural gathering…His Highness said that Censor Yang must be present.”the palace maid said.
Yang Chen was speechless. He immediately took the invitation." I understand. Go back and tell the princess that I won't be absent."”
The palace maid bowed and took her leave.
