The day for the King of Chu to have a big banquet for guests was finally here, and Wuchang City was very lively. Carriages were running back and forth on the streets, and porridge sheds were set up in front of the intersections to make porridge and steam buns. Five or six people were busy. A huge "Chu" sign was three feet high. "Porridge is served for three days, and no one will refuse to come." Before the porridge shed was opened, there were already a long queue in front of them. Not only beggars, but even many ordinary people also joined the porridge-seeking team.

Officials of various governments living in the inn rushed to the royal palace to sign in. There are two reasons for the King of Chu to have a banquet, one was to celebrate the birthday of the princess, and the other was to celebrate the completion of the new palace. The previous reason was more important, so it was stated in each invitation that you must bring your wife and daughter.

In the afternoon, an official boat slowly landed on the Wuchang Wharf. Ye Tianming, the prefect of Hanyang, walked out of the cabin with his wife and daughter. A carriage that had been waiting at the wharf was greeted. Ye Tianming brought his eldest daughter Zitong, and the second daughter Su Tong did not bring it due to Cheng Yannian. Of course, Ye Tianming discussed with his wife all night. If he could use this opportunity to find his eldest daughter's family, it would be the best.

Although she was attending a lively banquet, Ye Zitong seemed unhappy. It was no wonder that she liked private gatherings between friends. Everyone was free and spoke freely. This formal banquet that paid great attention to etiquette made her feel uncomfortable all over. She would rather go shopping alone in Wuchang. Of course, she also knew another meaning of her parents. She had something to do these days and was even more unwilling to go to public for comment. Ye Zitong wore a light blue round necklace today. Although this crown dress was solemn, it looked relatively old-fashioned. It was usually worn by a slightly older person. This was specially selected by Mrs. Ye for her to suppress the unrestrained aura that was difficult to conceal. However, although this round necklace was old-fashioned, Ye Zitong's tall figure showed another flavor, especially the row of golden metal buckles in front of her made her feel very dynamic.

After leaving, Mrs. Ye felt a little regretful, but it was too late, so Mrs. Ye had to repeatedly remind her to be cautious and restrained. Ye Zitong nodded in confusion and went out with her parents helplessly.

The family of three got on the carriage and soon arrived at the royal palace. The square in front of the palace was full of cars, and more than 100 family members were here to maintain order. Even the yamen runners of Wuchang Mansion were temporarily invited to maintain order. Hundreds of carriages were parked neatly throughout the square, and the carriages were filled with followers, and they would also have a meal. Many officials from other places prepared to return to the yamen overnight after the banquet, and did not stay in Wuchang for a long time. After all, so many families stayed in the inn, which was to have a very satisfying one's treat. That was, they would not accept gifts after they were written clearly. Everyone knew it. If they wanted to give gifts, they could not give them at this time, especially those honest officials were even more happy. This was the best, and they could not give some local products!

The huge gate of the Chu Palace is particularly lively, with two entrances, one is an official or a gentry with fame and fortune and registration, and the other is for gentry without fame. Even these gentry without fame must be a large grain delivery household in the Jingchu area. Inviting them to come to the Chu Palace to celebrate new things is also a spiritual reward.

When entering the gate, the family enters together. When entering the second gate, men and women are separated. The family members go to the back house to chat and communicate. The gate is particularly lively, and officials greet each other. Even if the colleagues who meet every day meet in this environment, they will feel like they meet again after a long time. Ye Tianming met the prefect of Wuchang and was greeting. Mrs. Ye shook hands with several officials and wives. Ye Zitong did not like this kind of red tape and stood aside like a crowd. Some of the officials who knew her thought she was too tall and did not want to come and have a good time.

Ye Zitong was bored. At this time, several officers walked past her, all of whom were tall. Suddenly, she was stunned and rubbed her eyes a little incredible. Why is it him? Why is he wearing a military uniform? Ye Zitong looked at Li Weizheng blankly, and her heart was in chaos. At this time, Ye Tianming and his wife had finished greetings with their acquaintances. Mrs. Ye came over and smiled and said, "Zi Tong, why didn't you say hello to Miss Kuang? She and your sister are friends who can talk about everything."

"Oh!" Ye Zitong was obviously absent-minded, but he followed Li Weizheng from the corner of his eyes.

Ye Tianming was a little surprised and followed her gaze. At this time, he heard the emcee signing loudly: "The special envoy of Lord Li, the commander of Huguang, was named."

Ye Tianming saw Li Weizheng in military uniform at a glance, and he was stunned, "What's going on? Is there really someone who looks exactly the same in the world?"

He knew that there was almost no such possibility, but when did Li Weizheng become Li Jinglong's special envoy and still wear a thousand-house military uniform? Just when Ye Tianming felt extremely ridiculous, Li Weizheng bowed to the welcome official and smiled: "The commander and commander are busy with military affairs, and he really has no time to get out. I specially ordered me to congratulate the prince on behalf of him."

"It's him! That's right." Ye Tianming heard Li Weizheng's voice. He suddenly felt annoyed in his heart. He walked forward quickly and saw that Li Weizheng had finished registering, so he grabbed him from behind.

Li Weizheng was startled. When he turned around and saw that it was Ye Tianming, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. He was afraid that he would meet Ye Shiwang, but he would actually meet him. "Come with me!" Ye Tianming pulled him and walked to the side. Several Li Weizheng's accompanying officers were about to interfere, but Li Weizheng waved his hand quickly, "It's my uncle, you are waiting for me."

He was pulled to a remote corner by Ye Tianming, and Mrs. Ye Zitong, who was full of surprise, also walked up. Li Wei was smiling bitterly and bowing to Mrs. Ye, and shrugging helplessly at Ye Zitong.

"You said, what is your identity?" Ye Tianming's face was extremely gloomy.

Li Wei knew that he could not hide it, so he had to take him to the county to work as a servant. He accidentally saved the prince and was admitted as a guard by the prince. He briefly said, but he concealed the fact that he was a household in the Jinyiwei. Finally, he said: "The prince attaches great importance to me. This time he ordered me to work in Wuchang. Because the matter was related to Li Jinglong, he came to congratulate him."

After saying that, Li Wei was quietly taking out the gold medal and glanced at Ye Tianming. Ye Tianming recognized the prince's gold medal, and his face couldn't help but eased greatly. It turned out that he was following the prince. The prince was kind and forgiving and always respected by him. He let go of his heart and couldn't help but say with some complaint: "It's a good thing to follow the prince! Why do you hide it from the uncle? Are you afraid that I will say you won't do it?"

Li Weizheng bowed quickly and said, "I don't dare. I don't want to take the imperial examination again, and I'm afraid that I will be angry, so I don't dare to tell the truth."

Ye Tianming thought about it, and even failed a county exam five times. It can be seen that he is not a material for studying. He will have to take the provincial exam and college exam before he can become a scholar. If he wants to become an official, he has to pass the provincial exam and become a juren again. It is indeed a bit unrealistic.

He felt relieved and sighed, "Shi Bo doesn't have to let you study and take the exam for fame. After all, it's a few talents who pass the exam. Shi Bo is not such a pedantic person. The key is that you must have a good character and follow the right path. The prince is kind, and you can get a background with him. You should tell the truth to Shi Bo."

Li Weizheng said ashamedly: "My nephew dares no more. This military uniform is also temporarily borrowed. In fact, I have not joined the army."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Ye Tianming finally disappeared. He stroked his beard and smiled, "I just said, why can you be a thousand households at a young age? But wearing this military uniform is quite heroic. Madam, Zitong, do you think so!"

Ye Tianming looked back at his wife and daughter. Mrs. Ye has liked Li Weizheng very much since she was a child. Of course, she nodded and praised her. Ye Zitong's face turned red and lowered her head. Her heart was pounding violently. Ye Tianming didn't take it seriously. Seeing that Li Weizheng's entourage was still waiting for him at the door, he smiled and said, "You go first! I'll talk to you in detail before dinner tonight."

"Then I'll take a step first." Li Wei was bowing and hurried to the door. Ye Tianming watched him walk away and smiled and said, "Madam, Zitong, let's go in!"

"Master, we should bring Su Tong too today." Mrs. Ye said with some regret.

"Yes!" Ye Tianming also sighed, "But how do we think he will come?"

The couple walked in front and said, but Ye Zitong, who followed behind, kept secretly looking at Li Weizheng's heroic back. Li Weizheng was extremely tall, six feet tall in the Ming Dynasty, and according to the current standards, he was over 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing military boots and looked taller and taller. Ye Zitong felt that only he was suitable for him, like the white-faced scholars his father wanted to find for her. They were all thin and had too many gifts and were tired, which she disliked the most.

Ye Tianming brought his wife and daughter to the mansion first. Li Wei was about to wait for the entourage officer to register and then left. After they registered, they heard the emcee shouting loudly: "The Qin King's Special Envoy is here!"

Li Wei turned around suddenly and saw two special envoys from the Qin King. The leader was a middle-aged scholar in his forties, and behind him was a strong man with a strong stance, and he was obviously a martial arts practitioner.

Li Wei was staring at the Qin King's envoy. Seeing a polyp on the man's nose, he remembered the information he bought from Dingyuan County and Yangluo Town. He couldn't help but smile coldly, "This person is Zhao Wuji."

Of course, this person is Zhao Wuji. Yesterday, the King of Qin urgently sent someone to deliver a letter to him and ordered him to attend the King of Chu's banquet for his special envoy. As Zhao Wuji thought, he quickly walked up the steps after registering, but accidentally met Li Weizheng. He did not know Li Weizheng, but when he saw Li Weizheng majestic, he nodded to him with a smile. Zhao Da behind him looked at him a little surprised and suspiciously.

The two of them passed by. When they walked into the gate, Zhao Da suddenly whispered in Zhao Wuji's ear: "Chief, I seem to have seen this person."

"Where have you seen him?" Zhao Wuji asked without saying a word. He knew that Zhao Da's eyesight was very good and would not admit his mistakes.

"Haopang Ridge, Black Pine Forest!"
