The whole family had a happy and harmonious lunch. Li Zexuan's laziness relapsed and he didn't even want to go to the academy. He just lay down at home and waited for the imperial edict to officially confer him the title of Marquis from the palace.
Around one in the afternoon, Li Zexuan did not receive an imperial edict from the Imperial Palace, but a person did.
"Oh, Your Highness, you're here!"
That's right, the person who came was Li Xiaogong, the Commandery Prince of Hejian.
When Li Zexuan received the servant's report and went downstairs to the living room, Li Xiaogong was already sitting on the tiger skin sofa and looking at the furnishings in the room curiously.
"Haha! Little Xuan, this courtyard of yours is rather interesting! "
Seeing Li Zexuan come, Li Xiaogong nodded and said with a smile.
Li Zexuan ordered the servant to serve tea and sat down next to him. He said casually, "Your Highness, this is just my unintentional work. It's not presentable!"
Li Xiaogong shook his head and didn't say anything. He looked at the other places in the room and said,
"Haha, you're being modest in front of me now? This is not like you! Although the style of this courtyard is novel, it has its own rules and regulations. It's not something that can be built casually. Obviously, you've spent a lot of effort on it! And the furniture in the room is unique and comfortable. You still know how to enjoy life! "
Li Zexuan wasn't angry at all after being criticized by Li Xiaogong. Instead, he said with a smile, "Haha, if Your Highness likes it, why don't I give you a courtyard like this?"
Li Xiaogong was very tempted, but he still shook his head after thinking about it. He said, "I won't accept a reward for nothing. I won't take your house for nothing!"
Speaking of this, he picked up the teacup brought by the servant girl and took two sips of tea.
He continued, "When I just came here, I passed by Yanhuang College and saw the buildings in the distance. The style is quite similar to your courtyard. This Queen entered the academy and saw that the students were all wearing the same clothes and were training. Although he couldn't tell what these training items were, this group of weak scholars was actually able to do such neat movements. It was really beyond this king's expectations! Handing Huai Ren to you before I set out to sea was the right choice! "
Li Zexuan thought to himself. Although Li Xiaogong usually yelled at Li Huairen, his concern for his son was not vague at all. He had just returned from the sea and couldn't wait to come to Yanhuang College to see Li Huairen's situation. Perhaps this was deep fatherly love!
"Your Highness is too kind!"
Li Zexuan said politely.
Li Xiaogong waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say anymore. This Prince should indeed thank you for this matter! Compared to before, Huairen is much more sensible. In the future, he will continue to stay at Yanhuang College! "
Li Zexuan naturally had no reason to refuse. The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to the sneak attack at sea.
"Speaking of that sea battle, this Prince is somewhat sorry. You entrusted Meng Youliang to this Prince, but who would have thought that he would almost die at sea that night? This Prince was thoughtless!"
Li Xiaogong said apologetically.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? The weather is unpredictable, and people are uncertain. Some things, no matter how prepared you are, will always be unexpected! Fortunately, Meng Youliang is fine. This is the best outcome. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to face that child Meng Wenhao! "
Li Zexuan couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, right! Dare I ask Your Highness, just what was the identity of the mysterious expert who saved Meng Youliang that night? "
According to previous intelligence, Li Zexuan only knew that Meng Youliang had been saved by a mysterious expert at the critical moment, but he had no idea who that expert was, which was why he asked this question.
Li Xiaogong suddenly fell silent. After a long silence, he said, "This Prince cannot reveal that person's identity. If fate wills it, you should be able to meet him in a few days! What this Prince can tell you is that this person is extremely skilled in martial arts and is one of the top experts in the world. When this Prince entered Feiniao Capital alone, he was by my side! "
The identity of the dragon-bearded guest was hard to say. After all, he was the man who had fought for the world with Li Er. Although he had taken the initiative to withdraw in the end, he had still violated some taboos, which was why Li Xiaogong was being so vague.
Hearing him say this, Li Zexuan became even more curious. At the same time, he pondered in his heart. In the world today, how many people could be called top experts? After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Since Your Highness does not wish to reveal it, this child will quietly wait at home for that person to come as a guest!"
Li Xiaogong chuckled. After chatting a little longer with Li Zexuan, he got up and bid farewell.
But not long after he left, the villa welcomed another guest. It was Wang Renbiao.
"Hey! Today's guests really come in waves! "
Li Zexuan quietly said to himself.
"Little Xuan, congratulations! Congratulations on being made a Marquis! "
The moment Wang Renbiao entered the room, he cupped his hands in congratulations.
To tell the truth, Li Zexuan's meteoric rise had surprised both him and his father. Half a year ago, this young man had just returned to Chang 'an from the mountains, but half a year later, he had become the Marquis of the Great Tang. The fickleness of the world truly made one sigh with emotion!
"Haha! Thank you very much. Renbiao, come in and have a seat! "
Seeing Wang Renbiao, Li Zexuan suddenly remembered that he was looking for him for something. It was about rubber, so he hurriedly went forward to greet him.
"Little Xuan, I came to find you because you asked me to send someone to help you find rubber."
Sure enough, Wang Renbiao sat down and went straight to the point.
Li Zexuan hurriedly got up and asked excitedly, "How is it? Did you find it? "
Wang Renbiao smiled and said, "This thing is really difficult to find. The steward of the Wang Family's fleet led people to search for at least a dozen island countries. Finally, on a long island in the South China Sea, they found a forest with tree trunks that could flow white sap. But the trees there were much thicker than what you described before. Basically, one person couldn't hold it! Later, the steward of the Wang Family's fleet released all the sap from the trees in the forest and transported it back to the ship. Now, it's all at the dock! "
Li Zexuan was overjoyed. He realized that today was really his lucky day. Good things were happening one after another.
"That's great, that's great. I didn't expect you to really find rubber! Renbiao, you've helped me a lot this time! Let's go and have a look now! "
Li Zexuan stood up and said eagerly.
