Li Yuanyi, the master of the prince, did not dare to neglect him after the prince asked him to go to Chen Wenduan's house to invite Xin Ran. This morning, there was no morning. Li Yuanyi took the invitation from the prince himself and some gifts to Chen Wenduan's house in a sedan chair.

The people in the government did not dare to neglect the visit of the Minister of rites. They rushed to report to Chen Wenduan. Chen Wenduan was reading a book in the government and heard that his boss was visiting. They did not know what it was. But after all, Li Yuanyi was the head of the Ministry of rites, and he was also his subordinate, so he hurriedly arranged his clothes and went out to welcome Li Yuanyi into the living room of the government.

The two of them took their seats separately, and then the servants served tea. They were polite to each other. Chen Wenduan asked, "Mr. Li is here today. What can I do for you?"

To tell you the truth, I came here on the order of the crown prince to invite Mr. Xin ranxin, who lives in your mansion, to the east palace. I wonder if Mr. Xin is still at home? Li Yuanyi didn't beat around the Bush and said to Chen Wenduan directly.

Chen Wenduan heard that Li Yuanyi came to invite Xin ran at the prince's order. He thought, "this Li Yuanyi is the master of the prince. He is on the prince's side. It is estimated that on the prince's birthday that day, he saw that the emperor attached great importance to Xin Ran and wanted to take the opportunity to win him over. Now Xin Ran is in my house. I'm afraid it's not a secret. If I say that he is not here, I'm afraid Li Yuanyi is not I will believe it, and I will hate it because of it. It's better to call Xinran directly and let him decide for himself. "

Thinking of this, Chen Wenduan said to Li Yuanyi: "I dare not hide my humble position from you. Xinran is really in my house. I think so. I'll ask the servants to invite him to come here. Please tell him in person. Do you think it's ok?"

Li Yuanyi said, "this is the best way. I just want to hand the invitation to Prince Xin face to face."

Seeing that Li Yuanyi said so, Chen Wenduan asked his servants to invite Xin Ran. After a while, Xin Ran came to the living room. Seeing that Xin Ran came in, Chen Wenduan said to him, "brother Xin, today, the prince's Royal Highness specially asked his master, the Minister of rites, Mr. Li, to come with the prince's invitation to invite you to his Royal Highness's east palace."

After listening to Chen Wenduan's words, Xin Ran gave him a deep salute, and then said, "boss Li has outstanding humanistic talent. The grass people admire him very much, but they are afraid to disturb him. So they haven't visited him all the time. Today, I'd like to thank you for coming to meet me. "

as soon as Li Yuan saw that Xin Ran was so polite, he got up and saluted Xin Ran:" Mr. Li, you are very kind. Your talent is appreciated by the Emperor today. Besides, I went to celebrate his Royal Highness's birthday with Mr. Chen that day. Because there were too many people coming to pay homage to his birthday, and the emperor was too busy taking care of you that day, so I was a little bit negligent of Mr. Xin, and later I went to visit him After coming to the end of the birthday party, the prince was very upset. He said to the lower official that he must personally invite Mr. Xin to the east palace to sit down, or he would carefully ask you for advice on how to run the country. "

After that, he handed the prince's invitation with both hands.

Xinran then knew that Li Yuanyi had invited himself to the prince's east palace. For a moment, she didn't know how to reply to Li Yuanyi. However, seeing that Li Yuanyi handed over the prince's invitation with both hands, she couldn't say anything, so she had to take it down first.

Li Yuanyi saw that although Xin Ran was a little reluctant, he was still very happy after all when he took the invitation. He said to Xin Ran, "Mr. Xin, I don't know if your father told you before he died. I met your father before he died, and they talked very speculatively."

Xin Ran didn't hear his father say what he and his father knew about Li Yuanyi. However, out of politeness, he replied: "the old man and his father have known each other. In this way, the old man and my Xin family are friends of the world. Please forgive me if they are impolite."

As soon as Li Yuan saw that he had told Xin Qiji what he had known in the past, Xin Ran was more respectful to him. He could not help but feel a little fluttering. He casually recited his familiar poem "Qinyuan spring: the building of Yan Lake in Qi'an Fu of Lingshan mountain" written by Xin Qiji:

the peaks were flying west, the horses were spinning back, and the mountains were looking east.

The small bridge is transverse and lacks bow at the beginning of the month.

Laohe is idle, Tianjiao is busy, and the head inspector is loose.

My house is small, outside the shadow of dragon and snake, in the sound of wind and rain.

Try to be the first to meet each other and see the three peaks coming.

Like the children of the Xie family, they are well-dressed;

they are like courtyards, and they have graceful cars.

I feel that in the meantime, majestic and elegant, such as the article Taishigong.

New Causeway, ask Yan Lake when, misty water?

Xin Ran felt very kind when he saw Li Yuanyi recite his father's poems. He thought that this man might really like his father, so he said to Li Yuanyi: "I really appreciate your father's poems. "

Li Yuanyi said:" I admire your father for being an official before his life, and I admire the elegance of landscape after he resigned from office. So I know a lot about your father's poems. Now I am the master of the prince. When I teach the prince knowledge, I often mention your father's poems to the prince. His highness is very kind to you I appreciate your poems very much, so since I met you on your birthday, I have come to ask you to condescend. "Xinran saw that after Li Yuan flattered himself and his father, his purpose was to accept the invitation of the prince, so he said to Li Yuan, "I already know the sincerity of the prince. Please tell your highness that if you have free time, Xinran should go to the east palace to visit his highness again. Do you think so? "

as soon as Li Yuan saw Xinran, he didn't promise to go immediately, but he didn't say he couldn't go, so he said," in this case, I'll wait for Prince Xin to come to the prince's East Palace at any time. "

after that, the three chatted for a while, and Li Yuanyi got up to leave.

Chen Wenduan and Xinran send Li Yuanyi out of the door of the mansion. After seeing him off, they immediately return to the study in the mansion and call Chen Ming to discuss what to do.

When Chen Ming came to his study and heard about it, he said to Xin Ran, "brother, I don't think it's right for you to go to the east palace. This may cause Zhao Yun, king of Yi, to have other ideas. "

" that's what I thought, so I didn't promise to go immediately. "Xin Ran saw Chen Ming say so and said in a hurry.

At this time, Chen Wenduan continued: "brother Xin has attracted the attention of all parties in Lin'an. Everyone wants to fight for you, and brother Xin's original intention is to contribute to the country secretly. In my opinion, brother Xin can no longer make a public appearance in Lin'an. "

Xin Ran said," brother Chen is right. It happens that I need to leave Lin'an to deal with something. “
