Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 12 Fooling Li Yao
On the way the carriage slowly drove to the palace, people came and went on the street, they all avoided the luxurious carriage when they saw it.

Sound insulation has been installed inside the carriage, and the contents inside cannot be heard outside.

Li Yao sat down and asked:

"Fifth brother, how did you feel when you saw the little witch today?"

The carriage was very stable, without the slightest wobble,
Li Yuan pondered for a moment, finally nodded and said: "It can only be said that it lives up to the name of the little witch."

Hearing this, Li Yao smiled and said:
"Haha, heroes see the same thing!"

"Are you coming tomorrow?"

Hearing Li Yao's question again, Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't come, Yujing Academy doesn't have as many books as the imperial family."

Li Yuan searched around in Zangshu Pavilion. Yujing College had some, the royal family had them, and Yujing College didn't have them, so did the royal family.

If you want to read a book, why not go to the Imperial Library.

Li Yao's eyes showed satisfaction. I don't know if it was because of today's harvest or Li Yuan's answer.

"Fifth brother, there are many interesting places in Yujing Academy, but you may not like it with your easy-going temperament, so I won't force it. I will continue to go to Yujing Academy in the next few days. If you want to go, remember to let me know. Let's go together."

"Okay, no problem." Li Yuan pretended not to understand what he said, and agreed.

"By the way, fourth brother, I saw the eldest princess in Zangshu Pavilion. She said that Chu Junyan has come to the capital, and she is in Yujing College. After three days, she may go to the court to ask for a marriage, so if you want to marry Chu Junyan Yan, you must let your father make a decision before Chu Junyan goes to court."

Li Yuan thought about it, and finally told Li Yao what happened today.

"What!" Li Yao stood up in shock, his head almost touched the roof of the car, and he looked at Li Yuan with piercing eyes. He naturally understood the meaning of this news.

"Fifth brother, are you sure?"

"Well, my aunt told me that she wanted me to marry Chu Junyan, but I didn't want to."

Li Yuan said sincerely: "In the palace, fourth brother treats me the best, and fourth brother also likes Chu Junyan, how can I do such a thing!"

Seeing Li Yuan's sincere appearance, Li Yao came to Li Yuan's side one step at a time, put his arms around Li Yuan's shoulder and said emotionally:
"Fifth Brother, Brother Huang, I'm not mistaken about you. If Brother Huang really can marry Chu Junyan, then your business will be that of Brother Huang."

Li Yao slapped his chest loudly.

"Thank you, brother!" Li Yuan quickly got up to thank him, it seemed that Li Yuan's movements were too large, and when he got up, his sleeves suddenly split.

"Ahem," Li Yuan said a little embarrassedly: "I let the emperor see a joke. Recently, the emperor went out to play in the palace and spent a lot of money, which made him a little tight."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Li Yao directly took out a stack of banknotes and patted Li Yuan's chest;
"Take it!"

Li Yuan clutched the bank note on his chest, felt the thickness of the bank note with his fingertips, and quickly refused:
"No, no, fourth brother, this is too much."

"Take it, take it if you tell me, don't you look down on the fourth brother!"

Li Yao stuffed the banknote directly into Li Yuan's hands.

"No, no, fourth brother, you need this money even more now!"

"I told you to take it and take it!"

Despite Li Yuan's repeated refusal, Li Yao still stuffed a thick stack of bank notes into Li Yuan's pocket.

…………

In front of the gate of Jingyuan Palace, Li Yuan kindly invited Li Yao to come in and sit down, but Li Yao refused without hesitation:
"Fifth brother, it's getting late, I still have to visit my concubine mother, so I won't accompany you."

Seeing Li Yao strode away, he couldn't wait to go to the deep palace. Li Yuan's smile gradually disappeared when he entered the door. Looking at the night sky that was getting darker and darker, his heart sank again.

With Li Yao's stupid appearance, this matter is very difficult to accomplish.

He padded the bank note in his pocket and slowly pulled it out:
Pooh!
His fingertips were stained with saliva.

100 taels...

300 taels...

1000 taels...

2000 taels...

…………

ten thousand......

…………

5000 taels...

…………

While Li Yuan was silently counting the bank notes, Li Yao had already arrived at Concubine Lin's Palace.

The dignified and elegant Concubine Lin was sitting, and Li Yao was standing aside, reporting what happened just today.

Concubine Lin Guifei held a bowl of thick soup in her hand. She wanted to have a sip several times, but she was always shocked by what Li Yao said. Finally, Li Yao finished talking about today's affairs, and the hot soup turned cold.

"Take the soup away." Concubine Lin Gui handed the thick soup that she didn't take a sip to the personal maid, her eyes flickered and said:

"What Li Yuan said should be true, but it can't be that simple for the princess to find Li Yuan. This person is good at scheming. She must want to use Li Yuan to achieve a certain purpose, even including us."

Li Yao frowned deeply, he also understood what Concubine Lin meant.

Seeing Li Yao's expression, Lin Guifei sighed:

"Yao'er, do you really want to marry Chu Junyan?"

"The child really wants to!" Li Yao said hastily after hearing the words.

"But you have thought about it, this marriage is really irreversible." Concubine Lin Gui naturally knew what the emperor was thinking in her heart, and persuaded her worriedly, this matter is very deep.

"My son knows, but my son is not reconciled."

Li Yao clenched his fists tightly. The look of disdain that the three princes showed to him was always engraved in his heart.

"My son knows that in the eyes of my brothers and even my father, my son will always be a worthless one. I just don't want to be reconciled. I must impress them and let them know that I, Li Yao, are no worse than them!"

Concubine Lin saw Li Yao's unwillingness, and also recalled the scenes where other concubines often mocked her, and she felt ashamed in her heart.

"Okay, I will help you. I will meet His Majesty tomorrow."

Seeing Concubine Lin Gui agreed, Li Yao turned his anger into joy and said happily:
"Thank you, Concubine!"

Concubine Lin Gui Xun Xun taught: "Yaoer, you still need to practice hard. Although you will have subordinates to do everything, your own strength is the most important. Only in this way can you recruit capable and talented talents."

"Yes, I understand, concubine mother."

"By the way, concubine mother, please give me some more bank notes."

Hearing this, Concubine Lin frowned and said, "Didn't you take 5 taels from me today? How many talents did you recruit in Yujing Academy today, and you spent 5 taels in one day?"

"No," Li Yao shook his head embarrassedly and said:
"Today, I gave 5000 taels to Bai Yingjie, and asked her to secretly help me select a few trustworthy people to form a team in Yujing College."

"Then, where did the 5000 taels go?"

"Then...then after my fifth brother told me about Chu Junyan, I got excited and gave him all the bank notes!"

"what!"

Concubine Lin Gui opened her eyes wide, seeing Li Yao's embarrassed look, she was furious.

Li Yuan got the news from the eldest princess, and the news he got without spending a penny has been passed on to you!
He didn't do anything, so he got 5000 taels for nothing!
And kicked this kind of trouble away!

Li Yao scratched the back of his head and said with an embarrassed smile:
"Hey, I just realized it. I'm too embarrassed to ask my fifth brother for it now. My fifth brother refused many times at that time. I forced the banknote into his pocket."
