Looking at the two familiar faces in front of him, Li Yi was shocked. Why were Li Xuan's guards here?
These two were Li Xuan's god-like followers. Generally speaking, wherever Li Xuan appeared, there would be their shadows. Could it be that the slightly familiar voice he heard just now was …
Sure enough, when Li Yi thought of a certain possibility, an ecstatic face appeared in front of him.
"You've also come to the capital?"
There were four great joys in life: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, wedding night, and getting a place in the imperial examinations. For Li Xuan, wedding night was not a happy event. As the Crown Prince of Ning Wang, his status was noble. There was no need for him to get a place in the imperial examinations. Only "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" could be considered an extreme joy.
"I'm originally from the capital. Do you know me, brother?" Seeing the young man looking at him with a puzzled expression, Li Xuan was a little stunned.
After a closer look, he found that the other person's style of dressing was very different from before. In Li Yi's own words, he did not like to wear such showy clothes. His voice also seemed to be very different. Could it be that he had recognized the wrong person?
Come to think of it, he had decisively rejected MIngzhu's invitation to come to the capital to become an official. Ten days ago, the two of them were still drinking and chatting merrily in the Jadeite Courtyard. Unless Li Yi set foot on the road to the capital as soon as he left Qing 'an Prefecture, it would be impossible to see him here.
But in this world, were there really two people who looked so similar?
"May I know this brother's name?"
"I'm Li Yi." Li Yi cupped his hands in salute.
'An Actor's Self-Cultivation', 'The Basics of Dramatic Performance', 'An Actor's Learning Manual' … Li Yi, at this moment, felt like he was possessed by the Best Actor. If he worked hard, it was not impossible for him to win an Oscar.
As for changing one's voice, the art of changing one's appearance and voice was an essential skill in the martial arts world. With just a little bit of skill, one could become a qualified voice actress.
Li Xuan no longer doubted his identity. After all, if it was really Li Yi, it was impossible for him not to recognize him. At this moment, he began to be interested in this person called Li Ming.
Their appearances were more than 90% similar, and they were both surnamed Li. If it was said that the two of them didn't have any relationship, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. Could it be that this person called Li Ming was Li Yi's twin brother?
Li Xuan, who thought he had discovered a great secret, immediately forgot all his worries and asked curiously, "Do you know someone called Li Yi? He looks almost exactly like you."
"Are you from Qing An Prefecture and know my elder brother?" The young man looked at him with surprise.
"Haha, I know, of course I know." Li Xuan laughed and said, "I really didn't think that Li Yi would actually have a younger brother that looks exactly like him. This is so fun!"
Li Yi sighed in his heart. With Li Xuan's intelligence, to be able to live peacefully until he was 20 years old, he must have accumulated a lot of good karma in his previous life.
He didn't plan to reveal his identity now. Before he realized it, he could still have two days of leisure.
At this moment, a guard walked over and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Consort is coming."
Li Yi turned around and saw a group of people walking over.
"Haha, I'm afraid I won't have the chance today. Li Ming, right? When I'm free, I'll find you for a drink." Li Xuan laughed and strode forward.
As long as he knew his name, investigating him was a very easy matter.
"The Crown Prince's Consort?"
He saw a group of maids surrounding a woman with a curtain as she walked over. The woman's figure was not bad, but as for what she looked like, it was covered by a layer of white gauze, so he couldn't see it clearly.
Li Xuan hadn't been in the capital for long. It seemed that his marriage had only happened a few days ago. It was said that his Crown Prince's Consort was the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family in the Jing Kingdom. Her status was incomparably noble, and she was also an outstanding beauty. However, the two of them didn't stick together all day long during their honeymoon period. Li Xuan, this fellow, was discussing the problem of worry with the old monk. Could it be that the couple's life was not harmonious?
If that was the case, finding the old monk would be useless. He should go find an old Chinese doctor …
"Husband, have you seen Grandmaster Sandalwood Yin?" Li Xuan walked over with a smile on his face, and a light voice came from the Veil Veil.
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Great Master Tan Yin is well-versed in Buddhism and is worthy of being an enlightened monk. I have benefited a lot from talking with the Great Master."
"Husband's complexion is very good. I presume that the Great Master has already dispelled husband's doubts. Ling Long, before you leave, double the amount of incense in the temple." The woman's voice was soft.
A maid beside her immediately nodded in agreement.
"Since you've finished offering incense and paying respects to the Buddha, let's return early." After saying this, Li Xuan walked forward with large strides.
The lips of the woman in the curtain moved, but in the end, she didn't say the words of appreciating the plum blossoms together. She let out a long sigh and said, "Let's go."
The luxurious carriage slowly descended along the mountain path. Dozens of guards surrounded the carriage. Inside the carriage, the woman who had already taken off the curtain sat upright on the brocade couch. She looked out the window at the young man who would rather ride a horse than ride in the same carriage as her. Her eyes were slightly lowered, and her fair hands tightly gripped the hem of her dress.
"I wonder what expression MIngzhu would have if she knew that Li Yi has a brother who looks exactly like him?" Li Xuan rode on the horse with a strange smile on his face.
"Your Highness." A guard rode a horse and whispered as he caught up to him.
"What is it?" Li Xuan turned to look at him.
"Just now at Cold Mountain Temple …" The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "I think I saw Miss Ruyi."
"Miss Ruyi?" Li Xuan raised his brows. "Which Miss Ruyi?"
Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he pulled on the reins of the horse and asked, "Are you talking about Miss.Liu?"
"Maybe I saw wrongly. Maybe they just look alike," the guard said after thinking for a moment.
It was a coincidence if it happened once, but it was inevitable if it happened twice.
An excited expression appeared on Li Xuan's face. He pointed at a few people and said, "The few of you, follow me up the mountain. The rest of you, escort the Crown Princess back to the residence!"
A few clouds of dust disappeared from the mountain path. Inside the carriage, the woman revealed a disappointed expression. She put down the curtain and said, "Let's go."
Li Yi was looking at the old monk in front of him with a vigilant expression.
In just the blink of an eye, the old monk had appeared in front of him. It was enough to show that the old monk was an expert. At the very least, he couldn't beat him.
"When I pointed at the plum tree just now, I meant to say that a moment of suffering is nothing and that there will be a day of happiness after suffering, just like what the benefactor said," the old monk looked at Li Yi with a smile and asked, "Young benefactor, how could you have such a misunderstanding?"
Li Yi understood that the old monk might be unhappy with his interruption just now. This was not a joke on the internet in the future, but a real Zen master.
When facing a real Zen master, he naturally couldn't just casually make up a joke to deal with it.
Li Yi's expression turned serious and then he smiled mysteriously. He looked at the old monk and said, "The Buddha said, it can't be said, it can't be said …"
After saying that, he elegantly turned around and strode back in the direction from where he came.
The old monk was stunned on the spot. After a long time, a smile appeared on his old face. He looked at the direction in which Li Yi left and said, "All appearances are fabricated. Worry is also empty, and worry is also empty. I was too obsessed with appearances … Young benefactor, you have great wisdom!"
