Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 405 I Don't Care About This

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Li An shook his head and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go back to the tent first. I'll come find you when I'm done."

He cannot convince Gu Tingye now, but if things develop as he expects, he will have enough to convince Gu Tingye.

So he was not in a hurry.

"Aren't we here to play today? Do you have anything else to do? I was thinking of asking you to play polo with me to relax." Gu Tingye said.

"Just some small things. I'll accompany you after I finish them." Li An said.

"Okay, I'll go see if Zecheng is here. That guy got engaged to a girl from the Hai family without telling anyone. I heard that the emperor intends to let Hai Shilang serve as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. This guy has picked up a great bargain." Gu Tingye said.

"Is that true?" Li An asked in surprise.

The Privy Council was in charge of all military forces in the country, and even the deputy envoy was a second-rank official.

Hai Wenren was previously a fifth-rank Hanlin scholar, and was later promoted to Vice Minister of Rites. Now, just over a year has passed, and he is being promoted to Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council. This promotion speed is too fast.

Gu Tingye whispered, "There is a deputy envoy in the Privy Council who has a close relationship with Princess Yan's family. Now you understand why I told you not to be stupid before."

Li An fell silent after hearing this. He understood what Gu Tingye meant. The government was now clearing out Prince Yan's power.

The deputy envoy of the Privy Council has a close relationship with the family of Prince Yan's wife. Regardless of whether he has sided with Prince Yan or not, the emperor is no longer confident in him.

There are only two candidates for the crown prince, and the government has purged those who support Prince Yan, which shows that it is determined to let Prince Yong succeed to the throne.

Unless the official family has a prince, there will be no other changes.

Gu Tingye was worried that Li An might do something wrong because of what Li An said on the way to Yangzhou last time, so he specifically reminded him not to do anything stupid.

Gu Tingye actually didn't intend to tell this uncertain news, but Li Ang's performance just now seemed to Gu Tingye that he had not given up yet, so he revealed the news.

Thinking of this, Li An felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Then you go find Zecheng, I'm leaving now."

……

After separating from Gu Tingye, Li An kept thinking about what Gu Tingye had just said.

Judging from the current situation, as long as Prince Yong does not take action against Rong Feiyan as he did in the original drama, Prince Yan will not be able to cause any trouble at all.

If it were the old Ang Lee, he would only want to pass the imperial examination and improve his class status, and would not care about these things.

But now Ang Lee has higher aspirations.

However, after Prince Yong ascended the throne, he was unable to realize his pursuits and ambitions.

Ang Lee also doesn’t know whether Prince Yong will attack Rong Feiyan again like he did in the original drama.

After all, in the original drama, Prince Yong attacked Rong Feiyan because the Qi family was reluctant to marry Princess Jiacheng.

The Qi family did not agree because Qi Heng was in a stalemate with his mother over Minglan.

Now that he has been engaged to Minglan, Qi Heng also knows that it is impossible for them to be together. Prince Yong has won the battle for the throne, and given Princess Pingning's personality, she might really agree.

Prince Yong moved Rong Feiyan, on the one hand because she was having a quarrel with Princess Jiacheng, and on the other hand he wanted to give a warning to the Qi family.

If Princess Pingning agreed, in the eyes of Princess Jiacheng, Rong Feiyan would be a loser, and Prince Yong would have no need to take action against him.

Thinking of this, Li An felt a headache.

"Forget it. Things will work out when the time comes. Anyway, I have achieved fame and success. Even if Prince Yong succeeds to the throne, he will at most send me to a remote area and I will never get promoted. I have money and I can stay away from Bianjing, a place of trouble. Maybe I can live a more carefree life." Li An thought to comfort himself.

……

When Li An returned to the tent, he saw Wen Yanjing still in the tent, drinking tea and watching polo, looking very leisurely.

"Zi Qian, you're back." Wen Yanjing greeted Li An with a smile when he saw him coming back.

"Yeah." Li An nodded and said, "Didn't Shigao go around?"

Wen Yanjing laughed at himself and said, "Besides studying, I can only farm. I have never touched anything here. What is there to see?"

Li An shook his head, not knowing how to respond. He simply kept silent and looked at the polo match going on in the field.

As he was watching, Xiao Tao came over and bowed, saying, "Mr. Li, my daughter invites you to take a walk to the west."

Li An nodded and said, "Shigao, let's go."

"Yeah!" Wen Yanjing nodded, stood up and straightened his clothes.

The two followed Xiaotao to the west, where there was an area specially used for playing pot-throwing.

Many people were playing pitch pot in their respective areas, and Minglan and Rulan also took up a seat.

There were people everywhere, but they kept a certain distance, so they were not worried about being thought of as having a private meeting.

Seeing that Wen Yanjing was a little excited, Rulan was about to go over to him, but was stopped by Minglan.

"Fifth sister, so many people are watching us, please be careful. You two can pretend to play tossing pots for a while, and then you can talk slowly if you have anything to say." Minglan said.

The polo field is very large, and there are some secluded and deserted areas, but Minglan did not dare to go there.

I deliberately chose such a crowded place because I was worried that Rulan might get excited and do something when she saw Wen Yanjing, which would be troublesome if someone saw her.

"Fifth Miss, Sixth Miss!" Li An and Wen Yan bowed respectfully.

"Brother Ziqian, Master Wen!"

Minglan and Rulan bowed and after a brief greeting, Minglan suggested playing a game of tossing pots, letting Rulan and Wen Yanjing play first.

The two knew that this was an opportunity for them to speak, so they naturally would not refuse.

Wen Yanjing had no followers, but Rulan had a maid, but Rulan asked the maid to stay behind.

Minglan and Li An stayed where they were, looking at the two people who were pretending to play pitch pots but whispering to each other a dozen steps away. They said apologetically, "Brother Ziqian, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you this time."

She asked Li An to bring Wen Yanjing over to create space for the two to talk, which could be considered as helping the two to meet in private.

Li An did not refuse, and Minglan felt full of regret.

"These are all trivial matters." Li An stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the two of them, and said, "But your fifth sister might be disappointed. When I went to find Shi Gao, Shi Gao had already planned to return home."

"How could he do this? Fifth sister did this for him..."

Minglan couldn't continue talking here. Seriously speaking, Wen Yanjing's approach was not wrong. With his status and not having passed the imperial examination, what else could he do at this moment?

Could it be possible that Wen Yanjing should go to the Sheng family to propose marriage?

……

"Brother Jing, didn't you say you would come to my house to propose marriage after the examination?"

Rulan and Wen Yanjing were more than a step apart, holding an arrow and aiming, but were hesitant to throw it, and spoke in a low voice.

Even though she was usually carefree, a hint of shyness appeared on her cheeks when she said such words, and she didn't dare to look at Wen Yanjing.

Wen Yanjing showed a trace of bitterness when he heard this. He was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry, Fifth Miss. I originally planned to go to the Sheng family to propose marriage after I passed the imperial examination, but I failed. I really have no face to come to your house."

Rulan ignored her shyness and looked at Wen Yanjing excitedly, "Brother Jing, I don't care about these."
