Li Ke, on the other hand, sat to the side and quietly sipped his tea. He was different from these domineering young men. As an editor of the Hanlin Academy, he had used his own abilities to reach his current position. The only reason they were gathered together today was because they had drunk together once before.
The rather plump young master beside him tugged at Li Ke's hand and pointed at the jade butterfly cake in front of him. "Big Brother Li, do you want some? If you don't, I'll finish it all! "
Li Ke glanced at him and said with a smile, "Qin Qing, you really can't eat anymore. It's almost lunchtime."
Hearing this, the little fatty looked at the last piece of jade butterfly cake on the plate with some reluctance. He didn't know if he was trying to convince Li Ke or himself. "In any case, I've already eaten so much. One more piece won't make a difference …"
Li Ke shook his head with a wry smile.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Those who were originally sitting all stood up. Sure enough, when they opened the door, they saw GongYimo dressed as a man.
At this moment, GongYimo was wearing a moon-white man's robe with a small jade crown. Her small face was fair and tender, and her small lips were bright red. She really looked like the pampered eldest son of a large family. At this moment, she gestured to everyone and giggled. "Xiaosheng GongYimo greets all my older brothers."
Her actions caused the nervousness of the people present to recede.
Li Ke narrowed his eyes and sized her up before saying, "Only now do I know that the princess is even more imposing in men's clothing. Truly, women don't lose out to men."
GongYimo waved her hand and greeted them one by one. Then she said, "Let's not make empty promises. The heir said that he brought me out to have fun. If it's not fun, I'll hold you guys responsible!"
When she said this, the youths looked at each other. Xu Yuan rubbed his chin and said, "If it were any other day, I wouldn't dare to say this. But today, the princess really came at the right time!"
Yu Ziqing smiled mysteriously. "In our capital, there is the number one beauty in the capital. But among the common people, there is also the number one beauty in the world! She traveled here with the carriages, and today is the first time she is on stage in the capital! Many people have come because of her reputation! "
Hearing his words, GongYimo was a little curious. In her previous life, she had never heard of this person in the capital. She did not know what he looked like to be worthy of being called number one in the world.
"That's a matter for tonight. Let's talk about business now!" Yu Ziqing gave the others a look, and they all sat down.
Smelling the fragrant Snow Mountain Sprout Tea in front of her, GongYimo narrowed her eyes as if intoxicated. However, she saw that the others were all looking at her, not knowing what to say.
Little Fatty, on the other hand, picked up the last piece of pastry and gnawed on it. He mumbled, "Look at how scared you guys are. Let me tell you! Chaoyang Princess, we have already discussed it. We will follow you … no, follow the Crown Prince to open the canal. "
GongYimo was slightly taken aback.
It turned out that when they found out about this a few days ago, their clans had already made a decision. They were all capable older brothers with high status, but they were idle second-generation officials. Originally, they were not interested in this matter, but their clans forced them to go, so they had no choice.
However, later on, they found out that this matter was proposed by the Crown Prince, and GongYimo was now following the Crown Prince. Naturally, wherever the Crown Prince went, she would follow.
When they thought about how they could follow GongYimo to the south to eat and drink, it did not seem like a bad thing.
There was a limited number of places for this trip. Originally, they did not want to take it, but when they heard this, they changed their minds. After discussing it, they invited her to go through the back door together.
GongYimo laughed inwardly as they thought of the same thing. It was really effortless for them to come …
However, on the surface, there was a slight hesitation. "This trip is long and will take a long time. Are you guys sure about this?"
The few of them had clearly discussed it and nodded. GongYimo frowned slightly and said.
"Then if you guys go … what can you do?"
Her words stunned the others. Originally, their clans had said that there was an absolutely good job for them. They only needed to go out for a trip, eat, drink and have fun everywhere, and when they came back, they would be promoted. Now that GongYimo asked them what they could do … everyone present was stunned. Other than eating, drinking and having fun, they really did not know what else they could do.
At this time, only Li Ke said, "I'm now a member of the Hanlin Academy, and I'm majoring in geology. Therefore, I've read a lot of books in this area. I should be able to help in finding water sources and digging angles."
GongYimo nodded and looked at them again. After being glanced at by GongYimo, the rest of them felt ashamed. However, no matter how hard they tried, they did not know what they could do.
Seeing their nervous expressions, GongYimo suddenly burst out laughing.
"Don't tell me your clans all asked you to go out and have fun?"
Her words made them even more embarrassed. They were really prepared to go out and have fun.
At this moment, little fatty Qin Qing looked at GongYimo blankly and said, "I only know how to eat … but I'm also very obedient. As long as I'm given good food, I'll do anything."
His words enlightened the other two. "That's right, that's right. We're all very obedient. If there's anything we can do for you, just let us know! What do you think … is this okay? "
GongYimo blinked as if she was thinking.
"You'll be obedient …"
The few of them nodded furiously. Their neat and adorable appearance made GongYimo unable to hold it in!
"Alright, alright. It's you guys then. Who asked us to drink together before?"
Her words made the few of them very happy! At this moment, GongYimo looked at Shen Shi Ye. "What about you? Are you willing to go with me?"
Shen Shi Ye did not speak from the start, looking as if he had something on his mind. When he heard GongYimo's question, he lowered his eyes and shook his head.
GongYimo laughed. She had misspoken. As the heir, how could Shen Shi Ye follow them to dig a canal that no one knew how long it would take to complete?
Thus, she skipped over this topic.
Soon, the sky turned dark and the building gradually became lively. It became difficult to find a seat as there were heads everywhere!
GongYimo looked at the crowd on the first floor from the second floor and could not help but laugh. "How enthusiastic. I wonder how beautiful the world's number one beauty is. Compared to our capital's number one beauty, how is she better?"
Bright lights clustered around the stage in the middle of the first floor. The number one beauty would appear there in a moment.
Soon, the atmosphere became more and more lively amidst the clamor of the crowd. The procuress walked up the stage at this moment. Ignoring the boos of the crowd, she smiled charmingly.
"I know that everyone doesn't want to see me, but I'm here to pass on a message from the world's number one beauty."
Her words caused an enthusiastic response from the crowd!
"Quickly call her out! I can't wait! "
"What did the young lady say? Just say it … "
Seeing the crowd's enthusiastic response, the procuress covered her mouth and laughed. "It's nothing much. The young lady came from afar and saw the prosperity of the capital. With so many officials supporting her, the young lady is quite embarrassed … So, the young lady wants to invite the youngest official here to play a song with her to boost her courage. I hope everyone will be magnanimous enough to forgive."
