Chapter 178 Rarely confused
Yang Yun followed Yang Hui to salute Princess Xianyi.
Princess Xianyi's wonderful eyes fell on Yang Hui first, with a slightly annoyed expression. She then looked around the audience and finally focused on Yang Yun, and was a little curious about a boy appearing in the backyard.
"The princess is here, and the brilliance is shining."
Yang Hui smiled and complimented.
Princess Xianyi waved her hand impatiently: "This is not your mansion, why is it so bright? Eighteenth brother, are these people...?"
Li Mao walked over and looked at Yang Yuhuan with a affectionate look on his face. He couldn't bear to look away and replied casually: "He is from the Yang family of Hongnong."
Princess Xianyi thought it was Yang Hui, and became even more displeased: "The Eighteenth Brother only saw these people, are you favoring each other? My mother hopes that the Eighteenth Brother will contact more people and prepare for the opening of the mansion."
Li Mao said: "I am not good at socializing, so I would rather hide here at peace... However, my sister is smart and good at dancing, so I can get to know more famous scholars in Dongdu."
Princess Xianyi said disappointedly: "My mother had arranged for a very famous Taoist priest to meet me, and asked him for some knowledge of Taoism, which was confirmed by what she had learned before. Unexpectedly, he did not attend the meeting today..."
Yang Hui glared at Yang Yun and said coldly: "This little Taoist priest is ignorant. He lucky enough to do something for the priest in Dakong Temple, so he took on airs. How can such a character be compared with Master Luo Tian? The priest has sent someone to summon Master Zhang Guo Tian to the Eastern Capital. The princess can ask Master Zhang Guo Tian’s knowledge for advice on the knowledge of Taoism."
"Um."
Princess Xianyi nodded.
Li Mao asked, "What you said, is it that Luoyang is moving, and helps the father to successfully repair the Taoist statue of the ancestor in front of the people?"
Princess Xianyi asked with a smile: "The Eighteenth Brother is quite well-informed. He has heard about this as soon as he arrived in Dongdu?"
Li Mao said: "I heard people talk about it on the road, and I think it's amazing... By the way, why didn't the little Tianshi come to the banquet?"
"There are many people in the world who seek fame and reputation. They are rare to attract favors in front of the saints. If I succeeded by luck, I would still try two attempts? If I were him, I would definitely escape from the Dongdu with my tail between my legs, rather than show my shame in front of others and damage my future." At this point, Yang Hui glared at Yang Yun, and the warning was obvious.
"I heard that my father had summoned him to the palace to fight with Luo Tianshi. It is logical that he should not avoid it." Li Mao's expression was full of confusion.
Yang Hui sneered: "It must be because he is afraid."
Yang Yun probably thought it was because Wu Huifei intended to recruit him as a staff member for Princess Xianyi. Moreover, Princess Xianyi had some curiosity and interest in him, which annoyed Yang Hui, so the other party spared no effort to criticize him.
Yang Yun stopped covering up and said with a smile: "I'm not talented, it's the little Taoist priest I'm talking about. I just came a little late and went into the backyard. I accidentally met His Highness Shou here."
"What!?"
Everyone around looked at Yang Yun in surprise, and even the guards couldn't help but look at him more.
Now that Yang Yun is famous, many people want to see her style, but Yang Yun is usually low-key in his work, and few people have actually seen her.
This is a strange man who even the emperor calls the "Little Heavenly Master".
"Are you a little Taoist priest who used magic to cultivate Taoist statues in front of his father?"
Princess Xianyi stared at Yang Yun, her face full of disbelief.
Just like everyone who just met Yang Yun, Yang Yun looked too young and immature. After all, he was a young man who was only fourteen years old and had no traditional appearance of immortality. Even if he practiced Taoism, he could only be regarded as a Taoist child.
Yang Yuhuan proudly introduced: "My son followed a famous teacher to practice Taoism, and he achieved some success in a few years. Repairing Taoism that day was just to fulfill his duties as a subject, and he had other brilliant methods... If the princess doesn't believe it, she can take more tests on his ability."
Li Mao smiled and said, "So there is still this allusion. Young Master Yang is not showing his appearance."
Princess Xianyi smiled at Yang Hui and said, "Brother Eighteenth, don't make a conclusion first... I heard that someone was ordered by his mother to send an invitation to the Taoist priest. Why did someone seem to know the Taoist priest when he saw it? In this way, this Taoist priest is an impostor, right?"
Obviously, Princess Xianyi was not targeting Yang Yun, but questioning Yang Hui.
"Um?"
Li Mao looked at Yang Hui curiously.
Yang Hui's eyes flashed, his face looked evasive, and he said awkwardly: "Please forgive me, Your Highness. In fact, I also think that Mr. Yang looks familiar. Maybe it was because he had met too hasty before and had not carefully identified it... I never thought that he would appear here and did not associate the two together for a while."
Li Mao said rationally: "It's just a one-time relationship, and it's not surprising that I don't know each other. Isn't my sister looking for a Taoist priest? I'm just meeting you right now, so why not go in and have a cup of tea to warm your body, it's too cold outside."
Princess Xianyi then smiled and entered the single house with Li Mao and others.
...
...
Two stoves were added in the room, and sandalwood was lingering.
With Princess Xianyi here, it distracted the people present. At least Yang Hui no longer glared at Yang Yun at all times, and his eyes fell more on Princess Xianyi.
"Brother is too monotonous to meet guests here. Not only does it not have singing and dancing to cheer up, but it is also a little shabby with light tea and light wine. It is better for people to dress up some wine and food." Princess Xianyi suggested.
Li Mao waved his hand: "The journey is exhausted, so I want to calm down and have a simple chat."
“What’s there to talk about?”
Princess Xianyi looked at Yang Yun with a mature face that was not her age and said, "But I want to ask Master Yang for teaching Taoism... I wonder if the Eighteenth Brother would blame me for being overwhelmed?"
Li Mao smiled and said, "Actually, I want to see Master Yang's skills."
Yang Yun said modestly: "I am just an introductory Taoist scholar. I really dare not take it for advice. We can discuss and verify it with each other."
"Then try it."
Princess Xianyi was not humble at all. She took out her princess style and directly held up the teacup in her hand and placed it on the table.
Just when others were curious about what she was going to do, Princess Xianyi said: "In daily banquets, there are often scenes of hidden hooks and shooting. Some people claim to be masters of Taoism, and they can use divination to explore the mystery... I wonder if Master Yang can calculate the things that are locked under the princess' teacup?"
"Xianyi, you..."
Li Mao wanted to stop.
He wanted his sister to "seek advice" on Taoist classics such as "Tao Te Ching" rather than giving Yang Yun a question. Once there was competition, conflicts and entanglements might arise.
Princess Xianyi smiled and said, "Master Yang is a distinguished guest invited by the Eighteenth Brother today. Are you reluctant to lend me the guest and let me ask me for some advice?"
Li Mao's face was very embarrassed.
In fact, Yang Yun is not considered his guest. His acquaintance with Yang Yun was completely a coincidence, and his attention was basically all about Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Huize smiled and said, "Since it's a game, why should Master Yang refuse? It's rumored that the princess is a master of shooting, so she regards it as a joy of the banquet, adding a touch of elegance."
Yang Yun said: "Since the princess is interested, let's try it... it's empty under the teacup."
"Ha ha……"
Yang Hui couldn't help laughing out loud.
Princess Xianyi opened the teacup in front of her. It was not empty inside, but a silver ring inside. The silver production of Datang was extremely low and was mostly used to create jewelry. The princess obviously took out the silver ring on her body as a cover.
"Master Yang, you didn't shoot." Princess Xianyi smiled.
"Um."
Yang Yun accepted the result calmly.
With Yang Yun's keen observation, how could he not know that this was a "little trick" played by Princess Xianyi?
It was indeed empty inside, but the moment Princess Xianyi opened the teacup, the silver ring was stuffed in. She moved quickly and finished in one go, like a master of close-up magic.
Yang Hui said that Princess Xianyi is a master of shooting and covering the film because she can change items at will within a reasonable range when hiding things. No matter what you guessed in advance, the princess can replace the things inside.
Yang Yun could not replace the hook hidden in Liu Qingyuan's hand like when he was in a banquet at a Sichuan Central. Princess Xianyi was not a shameful thing to fool her.
This is called a rare confusion.
Princess Xianyi's face was full of smug smile: "You can guess wrongly this way. It seems that Master Yang is in a bad condition... Why not do it again? Please ask Master Yang to guess how?"
After saying that, before Yang Yun could answer, Princess Xianyi buckled the teacup again. Although her movements were as fast as lightning, Yang Yun could see clearly that the silver ring was still in it.
Without thinking, Yang Yun replied: "It's the Silver Ring."
"wrong."
Princess Xianyi lifted the teacup. It was not a silver ring, but a small wooden sign, which was an object that ordinary people usually use when playing "hidden hook shooting".
"Ha ha……"
Yang Hui smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth, with a full face full of ridicule, "Why are you talking about the Heavenly Master? I'm afraid you're not a ignorant charlatan. With such skills, you still want to go into the palace to fight against Luo Tian Master? Don't laugh to death."
Princess Xianyi smiled at Yang Yun and asked, "How did Master Yang perform abnormally continuously?"
Yang Yuhuan originally wanted to see Yang Yun showing her face, but she never thought that her younger brother failed to hit the ball twice in a row, which made her feel embarrassed when she was bragging about her brother's ability.
"Silo, what's going on?"
Yang Yuhuan asked anxiously by holding Yang Yun's sleeve.
Yang Yun looked calm: "Since it's a game, why bother to win or lose?"
Yang Hui sneered: "Only those who lose will say so."
Yang Yun shook his head: "When I shot, the shot was the covering at that time. As the external environment changes, the covering may naturally change... If the covering itself is not sure, no matter how many times it is shot, it is wrong. It is better to tell the result of the shot at the beginning, so that even if it is wrong, you will have a clear conscience."
"You...what are you talking about?" Yang Hui stared at Yang Yun, and some monks were confused and could only scold him with a dark face.
Princess Xianyi nodded in appreciation: "Master Yang is quick and easy to speak, which is unexpected. It seems that Master Yang is indeed qualified to compete with Master Luo Tian."
"Princess……"
Yang Hui was confused and his face was full of question marks.
Yang Yuhuan and Xiaohong next to him didn't understand Yang Yun's explanation.
Although she didn't shoot twice, why did Princess Xianyi feel that Yang Yun won, and said that Yang Yun is qualified to fight with Luo Gongyuan on the same stage?
As Princess Xianyi's brother, Li Mao has played many shooting games with Princess Xianyi. He is very clear about how his sister ensures that she will win every battle when shooting. He immediately frowned: "Xianyi, did you... deliberately let Taoist Yang lose?"
He did not reveal his sister's cheating, but also gave her face to her.
Princess Xianyi said angrily: "Brother Eighteenth, you are bored now. What does it mean to make him lose on purpose? It's just that he wants to test his true strength and demeanor. Do you really have to tell the difference between winning and losing when playing games? Then what is winning and what is losing?"
With Yang Hui's IQ, Yang Yuhuan and others were even more confused... Others only saw the topic of Yang Yun not shooting Princess Xianyi from the outside, but did not know that Princess Xianyi was secretly making trouble, so they could not understand the mystery.
"The princess is over."
Yang Yun bowed respectfully, "If you only talk about the winning or losing of the game, you really lose, and this cannot be argued."
