Chapter 35: Princess Helps Me Rise to the Top
Chapter 35: Princess Helps Me Rise to the Top
Gongshu Xia went to see his father.
It’s not that Gongshu Songting was really seriously ill, but mainly because he really didn’t like to get involved with these politicians.
He knew that his old father thought the same, so he was simply in a low mood. He predicted that the prince and princess might come, so he announced to the public that he had a high fever.
Pushing his son out to take the blame.
Just don't talk about martial arts!
Get away!
As soon as the strangers left, the atmosphere instantly became pure.
The puppet took a look at the two people's fiery eyes and quickly got into the box: "I have things to do too, I'm leaving first!"
Li Zhixuan quickly grabbed the puppet and said, "Sir, don't worry. Gongshu Xia is gone, but we are still here. Today, you have won a great victory at the puppet conference. I am so fascinated by you. We happened to meet at Gongshu Mansion. Why don't we have a few drinks together?"
The puppet pointed at his wooden head and said, "Look at me like this, do you think I can handle it?"
Li Zhixuan: "..."
This puppet was so much like a living person that he forgot about the question.
But the more this happened, the more he wanted to recruit this person under his command.
He smiled warmly, "Sir, your puppet is so agile, your real body must be not far away. Before I came here, I had already arranged a banquet at the Yaotai Wine Pavilion. Please do me the honor, sir."
These words have already made him look very humble.
He always treated talented people with courtesy and respect, so he had many talented people under his tutelage.
But the puppet was not interested at all: "No, I am not interested in food and drink, and even less in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Zhixuan: "???"
The smile on his face froze instantly. Having run the government for so long, he had suffered from cold treatment. Kyoto was full of talented people, each with their own ideas. Some did not want to take sides, some were close to Li Xingluo, and naturally there were also many who rejected him.
But even if you refuse, I will still give you enough face.
How is such blunt talk different from humiliation?
No matter how good Li Zhixuan's temper was, his expression looked a little ugly at this moment.
Respecting the wise and humble oneself is respecting the wise and humble oneself, but the purpose of respecting the wise and humble oneself is to win their hearts.
If the wise man has no possibility of returning home, it would be too shameful to welcome him with a smile.
The master was humiliated.
The guards at the side were furious: "Asshole! How dare you speak rudely to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The puppet folded his arms and leaned back strategically: "Is it rude to say that I am not interested in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I am an idle wanderer, not seeking an official position, but only lustful. If I were interested in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it would be considered rude, right?"
"you……"
"That's it!"
Li Zhixuan waved his hand and said calmly, "Since you just want to be a free and easy person, I will not force you. Goodbye!"
Say it.
Just turn around and leave.
The puppet bowed to Li Xingluo and said, "Your Highness, I am leaving now."
Li Xingluo suddenly laughed: "Just now, the gentleman said that he doesn't want an official position but is lustful. He is not interested in the Crown Prince. Does that mean he is not interested in me either?"
The puppet waved his hand and said, "It's just an excuse. I'm just being impolite."
Li Xingluo shook his head: "At today's puppet conference, you outsmarted everyone, but you were still courteous to Gongshujia. How could you be a person who doesn't know etiquette?"
"Gongshujia and I have a deep sympathy for each other. Moreover, I also want to learn a little from him. How can I not give him some respect?"
"So, it's all because Gongshujia has something you want, sir?"
"Yes!"
"In that case, I also have something you want, sir."
"What does Princess Di have?"
"rich!"
"hiss……"
The puppet took a deep breath, but still waved his hand with difficulty and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince also has money, why should I choose Your Highness the Princess?"
Li Xingluo shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The puppet laughed: "I wonder if Your Highness still..."
Li Xingluo smiled slightly: "However, you just angered the prince and left, but you are willing to talk so much with me, which is enough to prove that your attitude towards me and the prince is different.
The gentleman just said that lust was just an excuse.
Putting aside the difference between genders, the only difference between me and the prince is our political views.
Sir...are you really not interested in seeking an official position?"
The puppet seemed to have been struck by her thoughts. After a long silence, he said, "Your Highness is indeed very discerning!"
A smile spread across Li Xingluo's face; his guess turned out to be correct.
There are indeed free and easy people in this world.
It's normal to earn some extra money when life is tight.
They may be dismissive of those in power, but they certainly won't discriminate.
The fact that he treats them differently shows that there is a difference between them in his heart.
She bowed her hands earnestly: "It is difficult to find a true friend in life. Sir, you are talented, but you also need someone who appreciates you to help you achieve your goals. If you really have ambitions, there is a vacancy for a fourth-rank position in the Princess Palace..."
The puppet interrupted with difficulty: "Please give me some time to think about it."
Li Xingluo smiled slightly, turned his palm, and handed over a sign: "This is the order of the Emperor's Princess. If you have figured it out, come to the Emperor's Princess's Mansion to find me at any time." "Sure!"
"May I know your name, sir?"
"The poor path is empty."
"It turned out to be Taoist Master Kongxu."
Li Xingluo smiled and bowed: "The Emperor's Mansion is waiting for you at any time."
After saying that, he took Pu Mingzhu away.
The puppet stood there, its wooden face showing no sign of joy or sadness.
The goal of getting close to Li Xingluo has been achieved.
He has no political ambitions.
But "Master Kongxu" can exist.
After all, if you want to curry favor with someone powerful, you have to please him and have a clear stand. Anyway, he doesn't like the annotations on Li Zhixuan's fate, so he might as well step on him and satisfy Li Xingluo's emotional value.
There is also Li Zhixuan’s fate.
[Fate Grade]: Second Grade (111/2560)
[Annotation]: He was of a suspicious and weak character. Faced with the accumulated problems of the Qian Kingdom, he compromised and tolerated them. Less than ten years after he ascended the throne, the prosperous Qian Kingdom collapsed under the dust of history.
Second grade.
If we can dethrone him from the position of Crown Prince, we should be able to gain a lot.
"Brother, brother!"
Gongshu Xia ran back from behind the tree.
The puppet couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you go to buy medicine? Why are you back so soon?"
Gongshu Xia slapped his thigh and said, "Don't you think this is strange? As soon as the Crown Prince and Princess Di left, my father's high fever went away immediately."
The puppet pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Yes! This is really strange."
Gongshu Xia smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Since all the outsiders have left, can you please give me some advice? My father specially opened the library today, and he will definitely not let you return empty-handed."
"I will never let Gongshujia suffer any loss!"
"please?"
"please!"
The two walked side by side towards the library.
Qin Muye was a little surprised that Gongshu Jia was so generous.
But think about it, today I publicly defended Gongshujia's reputation, and Gongshujia also gave him corresponding courtesy.
Both sides have their own strengths in puppet refining, and it will benefit everyone if they learn from each other.
Qin Muye did not intend to hide his incompetence, because he did not think that the value of Gongshujia's collection of books was less than that of "The Silk Threader". The spiritual power circuit used for combat, which Gongshujia was best at, happened to be his own weakness.
Moreover, the fate skill of "The Silk Puller" is no different from innate supernatural powers. This kind of heaven-defying spiritualization method is simply not something that outsiders can learn.
But after all, they are both equipment refining companies, and with Gongshu Xia's monstrous talent, he will definitely be able to realize something different.
……
A thousand cups of wine are less than a confidant.
If the two of them were drunkards, the amount would probably be ten thousand times more.
Gongshu Xia had originally lost interest in refining equipment, but suddenly he came across a secret technique of puppet refining that he could understand but could not learn no matter how hard he tried, which completely ignited his desire to study it.
Qin Muye was also unwilling to give up this rare opportunity to learn from others, and he was immersed in operating the puppet throughout the whole process. Combined with his insights from "The Silk Puller" and "Craftsmanship", his insights as a craftsman soared.
The two chatted all night long under the lamplight, and neither of them showed any intention of stopping.
of course.
Everything has a price.
One night is a huge waste of time.
As a result, he slept until the next afternoon.
When you wake up.
Bai Yuji was feeling his pulse, looking as if he was facing a great enemy: "Why are you so tired?"
Qin Muye made up a story: "I was too excited last night and couldn't sleep..."
For some reason, Bai Yuji raised the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "You need to rest now, and take care of your spirit. What are you thinking about?"
“I’m thinking about healing.”
"Treatment..."
Bai Yuji's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
She knew that when he spoke of curing an illness, he was not referring to taking medicine, but the steps to activate the medicinal properties after taking the medicine.
After the treatment.
The doctor's mouth is prone to swelling.
Qin Muye asked, "Are you going to treat the disease today?"
Bai Yuji: "..."
