After hearing this, the prince became very anxious: "What should we do? My father will never let us go! There was no summer hunting in the past years, but this year we suddenly have to go to summer hunting. Maybe it is aimed at us."

Xiao Yao looked at the prince: "Your Highness, if the emperor is specifically targeting the East Palace, we can't help but think about it." At this point, he sighed, "Your Highness, think about it, if you stay in the capital, what will happen in the capital by then?

, Emperor Father said that His Highness was trying to usurp the throne and was immediately besieged by the army, which would also lead to a dead end for us."

Even if he is unjustly accused, the emperor can still tell the outside world that he did not know anything about it and that there was an evil person who was obstructing it.

After hearing this, the prince suddenly turned pale: "What should we do?" After saying this, he was frightened and anxious. He couldn't help but punch the table with his fist, "How can he force me like this? How can I force him like this!"

When Xiao Yao saw that the prince was in trouble, he could only roar and vent, and could not think of any solution, so he lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Is there any solution in Duke Cheng'en's house?"

The prince said, "I haven't asked my grandfather and grandmother yet." At this point, his eyes brightened a little, and he said, "I'll go and ask." After saying that, he ran out.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yao quickly stopped him and asked him to go to Cheng'en Palace in a few days to avoid the emperor's suspicion.

Over the next few days, the prince was restless and irritable. Xiao Yao was impatient and kept trying to calm him down. He only did it on the first day and said some high-sounding words of encouragement, then found an excuse to send him to Sun Liangdi.

Sun Liangdi was gentle and considerate, and she made the prince feel better.

While Xiao Yao was making his own calculations, he was immersed in painting "Right and Wrong Guests".

At this time, Shishilou finally put the "Noble Man's Recreation Picture" on public display.

As soon as this painting was made public, it immediately caused a sensation in Beijing because the painting was very large and involved many characters with different postures. The characters' expressions and movements, their clothes and jewelry, and the peach blossoms on the painting were all exquisite.

In addition, the characters in the painting are all from the circle of nobles in Beijing!

For several days in a row, people who learned that they appeared in the painting flocked to Shishilou to see themselves in the painting - that was the self in the painting of the master Xiaoyao Ke. It was an honor that no amount of money could get. It was possible.

It’s an honor that will last forever, so no matter what, you have to go and see it!

The lady in the painting and the lady from a famous family also went to see the painting together. No one said anything - they were right in the painting. Go and see what's going on?

If the female relatives in their own family had this kind of honor, they would naturally support them in coming to see the painting!

The nobles who were able to appear in the painting went crazy after seeing the painting and wanted to spend all their wealth to buy it.

In addition to "my own people" who wanted to buy it, other people in the aristocratic circle also frantically spent money to buy the painting after seeing it. The literati circle who valued artistic value also flocked to it.

Countless people flocked to Shishilou to appreciate the painting, and countless people frantically asked Shishilou for the auction time. The whole capital suddenly became lively because of this painting.

When they learned that this painting was only for external exhibition and not for sale, the people who were crazy about this painting hardly went crazy. They united for the first time and put pressure on Shishilou to let Shishilou auction the painting.

Those scholars who knew that they were destined to be unable to afford the painting with their own financial resources, some frantically composed poems for the painting, and some frantically guessed who the Qiao Yaoke was.

Being able to draw noble people in the capital means that I am also a noble person, and at the worst, I am the person who appears at the noble people's banquets. Who could such a person be?

Yun Yi specially took Li Wei, who was in a worried mood, to go to Shishilou to view the paintings. While admiring the paintings, he said happily: "Siquan, did you see? We are all in the painting! This is Mr. Xiaoyaoke's painting! What do you think?

, who is he?"

Li Wei looked at himself in the painting who was toasting. His gloomy mood for the past few days finally improved. He shook his head and said, "I don't know very well." His eyes passed over the female family members and saw Miss Xiao above.

, a trace of regret welled up in my heart.

The eldest daughter of the Xiao family is here, why is she not here?

If she is there, then he and she have appeared in the same painting at least.

In the future, if Mr. Xiaoyaoke's "Picture of the Noble Man's Fun" is passed down to future generations, then future generations will be able to see that he and she appear in the same painting.

Yun Yi's eyes slowly moved to the female family members, and the same regret filled his heart.

As soon as this regret arose in his heart, he thought of Li Wei and quickly looked at Li Wei. He saw that Li Wei was looking at the painting crazily. Guessing that he might have the same regret as himself, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Mr. Xiaoyaoke is indeed a great man."

Everyone, the noble gentlemen in his paintings are all talented! You see, there is you, there is me, there is brother Bi Xing, and there is brother Song!"

Li Wei nodded and admired the painting in front of him carefully. Gradually, he became obsessed with it.

At this time, a hearty and familiar laughter suddenly came from my ears: "Your Highness, Sixth Prince, Brother Shi, what a coincidence. Do you also come to see the painting?" Before Li Wei and Yun Yi could answer, the voice shouted in surprise again,

"Oh, my sister-in-law is indeed in the painting. This is really good!"

Li Wei and Yun Yi turned around and saw that the people who came were indeed the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, so they stepped forward to greet each other.

Miss Xu looked at her pretty self on the left side of the painting, and then quickly glanced at Li Wei on the right. Her heart was beating fast, and she shouted: "Mr. Xiaoyaoke's painting is really unique, the two of you

Brother, we have to find a way to buy this painting."

The presence of her and him in the painting is a commemoration of her being with him. This is better than anything else. You must find a way to buy it and collect it.

Originally, Miss Xu was very sad and a little discouraged when she heard that Li Wei wanted to break off the engagement. But now when she saw this painting, she suddenly believed that this was her fate with Li Wei, and she would fight for it no matter what.

Mr. Xu said: "It is said that this painting is not for sale. I'm afraid we won't be able to buy it."

Miss Xu looked puzzled: "I don't know why Mr. Xiaoyaoke only displays it but doesn't sell it." After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Li Wei, "Your Highness, Sixth Highness, do you know?"

Li Wei shook his head: "I don't know either." After saying that, he turned his head and continued to appreciate the painting.

This move was indeed a bit cold, which made Miss Xu look sad on her face, while the handsome faces of the two young generals of the Xu family showed anger.

Yun Yi hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "We have just discussed this issue, and I'm afraid His Highness doesn't want to discuss it twice."

After hearing this, Miss Xu's eyes brightened and she looked at Li Wei: "Your Highness, I'm sorry——"

The two young generals of the Xu family didn't believe it, but seeing that their sister was so infatuated and obviously believed it, they had no choice but to suppress their anger and go along to smooth things over.

However, although Li Wei is not indifferent or disrespectful, he is not really enthusiastic. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he deliberately keeps away from Miss Xu.

No matter how cheerful and generous Miss Xu was, she was still a girl who worried about the gains and losses of the man she loved. When she saw Li Wei being so far away from her, she couldn't help it and left with red eyes.

Young Master Xu couldn't bear it anymore and looked at Li Wei coldly: "Your Highness, the Sixth Highness, is so majestic, let's just say goodbye!" After saying that, he left angrily.

When Yun Yi saw this, he was very anxious and hurriedly chased the three people from the Xu family.

Li Wei saw this and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Yun Yi, but found that he couldn't pull Yun Yi, so he had to stand with his lips pursed and did not move.

It is absolutely forbidden to shout. If you tell Yun Yi to stop again, you may become a mortal enemy of the Xu family, and there will be no possibility of reconciliation.

However, even now, he has offended the Xu family - the family that he wanted to be friends with in the past.

Thinking of his ambitions and his mother's anger and disappointment, Li Wei felt a sudden pain in his head. He covered his head and slowly left Shishilou, wandering around the street for a while, smelling the food in the tavern.

The aroma of wine filled the room, so I walked in and saw a jar of wine, two kilograms of braised beef and a plate of fried peanuts, and drank slowly.

Yun Yi caught up with the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family and tried his best to explain.

Naturally, the two young generals of the Xu family did not listen, but Miss Xu, who was silent, pricked up her ears to listen, and the two young generals of the Xu family did nothing.

Finally, the eldest son of the Xu family said: "Brother Shi, after all, you are not who you are, and you cannot represent His Highness the Sixth. If His Highness is really serious, if you ask him to come to my Xu family and apologize to my sister, I will believe that he did not mean it."

.”

Yun Yi said some nice words again and then separated from them.

Not long after they separated, people around him reported that Li Wei did not go back to the prince's palace, but went to the tavern to drink. So he also went to the tavern, sat next to Li Wei, and started drinking with Li Wei.

After drinking a few drinks, Yun Yi picked up the wine jar and smashed it to the ground, not allowing Li Wei to drink anymore. When Li Wei looked over, he looked straight at Li Wei: "Let's talk."

The two of them came to Jinghu Lake together, found a place without tourists, and stood facing each other.

Yun Yi looked at Li Wei: "Your Highness, what do you think? I won't talk about the benefits of family status. Let's just talk about Miss Xu. She is a good girl, cheerful and interesting. You should not let her down."

Li Wei lowered his head, looked at the lake at his feet, and said nothing. After a long time, he whispered: "Did you know? It was I, Yi, who promoted the marriage of the Crown Princess to the Crown Prince."

After Yun Yi heard this, he cried out: "What did you say?"

Li Wei broke off a wicker stick and said in a hoarse voice: "At that time, Bi Xing was so crazy that he didn't even bother to study and wanted to marry her. I hope there is someone in Bi Xing who can help.

The wife clan knew that they could not persuade him, so they went to ask the father. As a result, I got what I wanted."

When he talked about getting what he wanted, there was no joy on his face, only endless bitterness and regret.

After hearing this, Yun Yi said after a long time: "You didn't know it would turn out like this."

Although he said this, in his heart, he suddenly understood why Li Wei suddenly changed his mind and did not want to marry Miss Xu.

Designing the man he loved deeply to marry his incompetent brother - yes, Yun Yi knew that Li Wei fell in love with the Crown Princess - this was painful enough in itself. Later, the brother also lost the ability to be a man.

That woman is destined to be childless for the rest of her life.

If the fetus in Song Liangyuan's belly cannot be saved, or if it is just a daughter, then that woman will live in hopelessness for the rest of her life.

The most painful thing in this world is not despair, but hopelessness, and being in hopelessness with no end in sight.

When I think that I personally pushed that person into that situation, I believe that no one can happily marry a wife and have children.

Li Wei sat down, as if he had experienced endless fatigue, and he said softly: "It's appropriate, I used to think that I would never regret it. But now I regret it very much."

For this reason, he didn't even care about his own grandiose career.

For this reason, he even made his own mother and concubine sad and disappointed.

Yun Yi sat down next to Li Wei, thought for a long time, then raised his head and looked around. Seeing no one, he looked at Li Wei and whispered: "Your Highness, have you ever thought that your other brothers may not be like this?"

Be kind to the Crown Princess and His Highness the Crown Prince, but if it were you, you would definitely ensure that they have food and clothing, prosperity and wealth, right?"

Li Wei shook his head: "I don't know..." He covered his face with his hands, "There is a ferocious beast living in my heart. I don't know what I will do. Instead of letting Miss Xu down in the future, it is better to stop it from the beginning.

The possibility of beginning.”

Yun Yi looked at him: "But, you always want to get married."

Levi lay directly on the ground: "That will happen in the future. At least at this moment, I don't want to get married at all."

The emperor asked his acquaintances one after another, and found out that Xiaoyaoke had indeed painted a noble man from the capital in his new work. He felt a little unhappy - he was the master of the world, and it was really too much for Xiaoyaoke not to paint him.

When he thought about appearing in Qiao Yaoke's paintings, he would definitely be remembered by the world in the future, and the emperor's heart was ready to move - it was just that he didn't know about it before, but he couldn't wait to know that there was such an operation!
