Although Yang Fan didn't know if this little girl was a princess or a princess, she was a member of the royal family. He quickly cupped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, I couldn't dodge in time."
The little girl covered her sore nose and stared at him with teary eyes. She asked in a nasal voice, "Where is Master Ru Mei? Do you know?"
She was asking about a famous musician from the Inner Musical House. Yang Fan was one of the guards in charge of the safety of the Wan Xiang Palace today. When Master Ru Mei brought a group of disciples and servants into the palace, it was him who arranged the changing room. He happened to know where this person was, so he said, "I know."
"Then bring me to her!"
The little girl was about to leave when a shout came from behind, "Stop!"
The young lady stopped in her tracks and turned around. She saw a person appear from behind another screen. He was dressed in a colorful costume, and his face was only half-painted. The other half of his face was still unpainted. Yang Fan recognized this person from this half of his face. This person was Prince Lin Chuan, Wu Sizong. It seemed like he was also going to perform at Wu Zetian's banquet to entertain the empress.
Wu Sizong stared at the little girl coldly and said in a deep voice, "Which family are you from? How dare you be so presumptuous! Everyone with the surname Wu is a villain? Hmm? Say that again! "
Yang Fan couldn't help but frown. Wu Sizong was in his early forties. He was so old, yet he was arguing with a six or seven-year-old little girl? Moreover, he was a dignified Prince.
The little girl raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't show any fear. She replied with a glib tongue, "So, your surname is Wu? There are many people with the surname Wu in the world. I've only seen people pick up things, but I've never seen someone pick up curses. I said a villain with the surname Wu, and you know who I'm talking about, so you jumped out to admit it? "
Wu Sizong was so angry that he laughed. He said, "You silly little girl, you're really brave to talk back to me. I won't argue with you about this. Just based on how you spoke to me, I can punish you for disrespect! "
The little girl curled her lips and said in disdain, "How impressive. What kind of king are you?"
Wu Sizong puffed up his chest and shouted, "I am King Lin Chuan!"
The young maiden sneered, "Don't flatter yourself. You are the Royal Prince of Linchuan!"
Wu Sizong said, "So what if it's Linchuan Jun Wang? You don't bow down to me when I'm isolated, and you contradict me again and again. Do you still have any manners? Immediately apologize to this Prince, and this Prince will forgive you on account of your young age. Otherwise, I will go to His Majesty to discuss this matter. Although you are young, your parents have not taught you properly. They must be punished heavily, otherwise, how can the dignity of the royal family be preserved! "
At this time, another little fellow came out from behind the screen that the little girl had run out from. He looked even younger than the little girl, and was a handsome little boy. He wore a set of lacquered armor, and on his head was a green mask with fangs. Seeing Wu Sizong's anger, the little boy was a little afraid, and tugged on the little girl's clothes, signaling her to stop talking.
But the little girl was not afraid. She stuck out her chest and said loudly, "You ask me who I am? Good! Let me tell you! I am the third son of the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness, King Chu! You are a Royal Prince, yet you claim to be alone in front of me and contradict me again and again! Immediately apologize to this Prince, and this Prince will not bicker with you on account of your age. Otherwise, I will go to His Majesty to discuss this matter. Otherwise, where can the dignity of the royal family be preserved? "
"The third son of the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness, King Chu?"
Yang Fan was a little surprised to hear this. He had been in the palace for a long time and had some understanding of the situation of Emperor Li Dan's family, who were trapped in the East Palace. Now that this little girl had introduced herself, he realized that this person was actually a man in disguise. It turned out that this person was the third son of the original Emperor of the Tang dynasty, the current Crown Prince of the Zhou Dynasty, Li Longji.
Li Dan himself did not show his face, and his children were usually under house arrest in the East Palace. They did not see any outsiders, so Wu Sizong really did not recognize him. Now that Li Longji had introduced himself, Wu Sizong could not help but be dumbfounded.
Just now, he did not want to admit that he was a vile person, so he avoided the topic and only used the little girl's lack of respect and deliberately contradicting him as an excuse to question her. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, this little girl had become a man, and the current King Chu? No matter how much he disregarded Li Tang's royal family, if the other really started to argue with him, he, as the Prince of Lin Chuan, would really have to lower his head to the King Chu.
The King Chu was a prince, and he was a Royal Prince.
Wu Sizong had shot himself in the foot. His face alternated between red and white, and he was very embarrassed.
Although Li Longji was young, he was well aware of the situation his family was in. All these years, his family had been trapped in the Eastern Palace, and he knew how his father had been treading on thin ice. So, although he was young and impetuous, he didn't dare to really fall out with Wu Sizong.
Seeing that Li Longji's face alternated between red and white without making a sound, the anger in his heart dissipated. He snorted and turned to Yang Fan, saying, "Take me to see Master Ru Mei."
Wu Sizong knew what his words meant, so he could not do anything to Li Longji. However, he was still very imposing towards Yang Fan. Once he heard Li Longji's words, he pointed at Yang Fan and said, "You, come and help me."
Hearing this, Li Longji's anger surged, and the rims of his eyes turned red. He was not afraid of the Wu clansmen, but he also knew that no one took the Li family seriously. If he and Wu Sizong ordered this guard to do something at the same time, this guard would definitely follow Wu Sizong's orders and ignore him. In front of so many palace maids, the Li family's face would be thrown all the way to their grandmother's house.
However, he was still young, so how could he have the slightest influence on this situation? In the end, he was still going to lose. The little fellow was angry and wronged, and he almost cried.
Yang Fan was startled, and he felt even more contempt for Wu Sizong in his heart, "As expected, the descendants of the Wu clan do not have any great achievements. An adult in his forties actually dared to oppose a six or seven-year-old child like this. What a disgrace."
Yang Fan bowed to Wu Sizong and smiled, saying, "This lowly servant does not dare to disobey the Regional King's order. However, His Highness King Chu wants this lowly servant to bring him to see Master Ru Mei. This lowly servant … is unable to split himself. "
Wu Sizong sneered, "Then will you come when this King summons you?"
Yang Fan replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, "There is a difference in status! Since King Chu gave the order first, this lowly servant does not dare to disobey! "
Wu Sizong was startled. He did not think that this little guard would dare to reject his order. Whose world was this now? The Wu clan! How could there be such an ignorant person?
Li Longji's eyes lit up when he heard Yang Fan's words, and he was so happy that his heart was about to explode. He really did not expect that at this time, there would still be someone who would take his Li clan seriously and care about him, the King Chu.
Li Longji looked at Yang Fan and said loudly, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he actually reached out and held Yang Fan's big hand. As he walked, he turned his head and glanced at Wu Sizong as if to show off. This childish attitude was truly adorable.
"Your Highness, Master Ru Mei is behind this screen."
Yang Fan led Li Longji to where Master Ru Mei, the Head Consecrator of the Internal Musical House, was and stopped far away. Although this Master Ru Mei had already become the Head Consecrator of the Musical House, and many nobles and nobles had to be respectful to her, she was still young. She was only in her thirties, and she was still as beautiful as a flower.
Beside Ru Mei was a group of female disciples, and the servants were also women. With so many women putting on makeup and changing clothes behind the screen, he could not be too close.
"Hmm!"
Li Longji let go of his hand and looked deeply at Yang Fan, asking, "What's your name?"
Yang Fan said, "This humble servant is Yang Fan!"
"Yang Fan …"
Li Longji murmured softly, then nodded his head heavily and said to him, "Good! I'll remember you! "
He did not say anything else. The Li clan was in a precarious situation, and who knew what would happen tomorrow? He could not promise Yang Fan anything. However, he remembered this name. When the Li clan was reduced to a clown, isolated and looked down upon by others, there was still one person who respected them. This person was called Yang Fan!
Seeing that Yang Fan dared to disobey his orders, Wu Sizhong was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Seeing Yang Fan holding Li Longji's hand and leaving, Wu Sizhong angrily asked a servant next to him, "What's the name of this guard?"
"He's called Yang Fan!"
The voice came from behind him. Wu Sizhong turned his head and saw that it was Wu Youyi, who had just been conferred the title of Prince of Jian 'an.
Wu Youyi patted his shoulder and said indifferently, "You'd better … not think about him!"
Although the two were both princes, Wu Youyi held the position of Grand General of the Featherwood Guard and was more powerful than him. Thus, when he heard Wu Youyi's words, Wu Sizhong could not help but be surprised. Wu Youyi put his arm around his shoulder and dodged behind the screen, saying in a low voice, "This person …"
After a while, Wu Sizhong let out a low cry from behind the screen, "Ah! Something like this actually happened! Thank goodness you reminded me! "
… …
"Hahaha … good, good, good singing!"
Wu Zetian sat high up on the throne, holding a golden cup and laughing loudly.
The one who had just sung was the crown grandson, Li Chengqi. Of course, he was now called Wu Chengqi. Wu Chengqi was twelve years old at this time and was Li Dan's eldest son. Although he was called the crown grandson, he was still confined in the palace.
Li Chengqi sang "Young Master An" for his grandmother. This song was the same as "Dancing Seductress". They were both very popular songs in the Musical House. Li Chengqi's voice was quite good, and Wu Zetian was very happy to hear it.
At this time, a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth walked up to Wu Zetian with a round fan in her hand. The noble princess moved closer to Wu Zetian and said with a smile, "Mother, the person who will be performing for you today is the crown prince's Third Langjun, Longji."
Wu Zetian was full of smiles and nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, good!"
Li Longji was performing a dance called "Longevity Maiden." In the side room, Master Ru Mei led a group of musicians to play instrumental music, and Li Longji began to dance lightly in the main hall.
At this time, a border army officer with a triangular red flag on his back rushed to the front of the palace gate. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Urgent!" and then fell head first off his horse.
The guards at the palace gate were shocked and rushed forward. Some people helped the fainted officer up, some held onto the horse, and some untied the yellow bag containing the military intelligence from the officer's back and hurriedly brought it to the palace …
