Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Princess Chengyang's Mansion.

It was not time for dinner yet. Du He and Li Yi were walking and chatting in the garden holding hands, while the maid Linglong was quietly following behind them.

"Husband, do you want to attend the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival on August 15th?"

Li Yi was chatting with a group of princess sisters today. Sister Gao Yang said that since Du He could create pinyin and dictionaries, he must be the God of Literature who has descended to earth.

So Gao Yang strongly encouraged Li Yi to ask Du He to participate in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival.

Li Yi is very smart and knows Gao Yang's little trick. She just wants to see her husband make a fool of himself.

But she was also a little bit expectant in her heart, what if her husband had a poetic talent?

By then, I will shine at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, which will be of great help in enhancing my husband's reputation.

Du He smiled and said, "I will definitely go to the poetry reading organized by my Yi'er."

After getting Du He's answer, Li Yi felt very happy. Her husband actually attended the poetry reading just for her.

Li Yi said sweetly: "My husband, you are so kind. I will sign you up then."

Behind them, Linglong glanced at Du He with suspicion, obviously not optimistic about this prince consort.

A servant from the princess's mansion came running over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Master Cui, Master Wang, and Master Xiao are here to see you. They are waiting at the door."

When Li Yi heard her husband's three cronies coming over, her brows knitted tightly together.

She grabbed Du He's hand and unknowingly increased her strength.

Du He patted the back of her hand gently, then turned to look at the servant: "Did they say they wanted me to do something?"

The servant bowed and said, "To celebrate your promotion, we invite you to dinner and drinks."

Du He waved his hand at him: "I understand, you go tell them, I'll be there soon."

After the servant left, Li Yi pouted and looked unhappy.

My husband has finally become a good person, but now this bunch of bad friends are leading him astray again. It's really infuriating.

Li Yi hugged Du He's waist tightly, raised his head and said seriously: "Husband, I don't want you to go out. Those three will lead you astray!"

Linglong, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but curl her lips, she thought to herself.

Princess, princess, it is a blessing that your husband does not lead others astray.

In the past, among this group of people, the prince consort was the worst and was the most evil.

Although the other young masters were not good people either, they seemed much kinder than the prince consort.

These rumors were told by other sisters in the palace. Linglong sometimes believed them and sometimes didn't.

Given the current situation, she chose to believe it.

Du He gently pinched Li Yi's smooth face and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Yi'er, your husband will not be the same as before."

"Moreover, these three people are from prominent families. If the prince wants to succeed to the throne in the future, he will need the support of these people."

Li Yi shrugged, feeling conflicted.

Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, her husband said that the prince needed their support and she could not be ignorant.

So Li Yi worriedly warned: "Husband, you should come back early and don't learn bad things from them."

Du He patted her on the back: "Yier, don't worry."

"My husband is having dinner out tonight. If you feel bored, let Linglong eat with you."

After comforting her with a few words, Du He went back to change into casual clothes and then quickly walked out of the princess's mansion.

Outside the gate.

Du He saw Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai, three of his friends, squatting on the ground watching ants moving, looking extremely bored.

To one side of the group, there were three luxurious carriages parked, and a group of guards were looking ahead with solemn expressions.

Du He walked up quickly, bowed to them and said, "Sorry for the long wait, brothers."

Hearing Du He's voice, they stood up in surprise.

"Hey, Brother Du, you are finally here."

"We have booked a private room at Tingyuxuan. Let's go eat first."

The group of people immediately pulled Du He into one of the carriages, and then hurriedly ordered the servants to drive the carriage.

Tingyuxuan is located in Pingkangfang and is the largest and most famous tavern in Chang'an City.

After a while, they arrived at Tingyuxuan Tavern, and under the personal guidance of the shopkeeper, they went up to a private large room on the second floor.

Cui Shenji said anxiously: "Boss, serve the food quickly."

"Don't worry, Master Cui. I will go to the kitchen to urge them myself."

After the wealthy shopkeeper finished speaking respectfully, he turned around and left the private room in a hurry. Soon, the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs was heard.

Before long, dishes of exquisite delicacies were placed on the table.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Master Du, Master Cui, Master Wang, Master Xiao, the dishes are all served, please enjoy your meal."

After saying this, he tactfully left the room and quietly closed the door.

Cui Shenji raised his glass and stood up, patting his chest and said generously: "To celebrate Brother Du's promotion, all expenses today will be paid by me, everyone can eat and drink as much as you want."

"In the second half, we'll go to Baihualou and play, and order all four top stars."

"Brother Ji is so heroic!"

"Brother Ji is still rich and powerful!"

Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai, who were not short of money, were very respectful and applauded and complimented him.

Cui Shenji was born into the Nanzu lineage of the Qinghe Cui clan, a super aristocratic family that was one of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families. It was not an exaggeration to describe them as wealthy enough to rival a country.

Moreover, Cui Shenji is the direct grandson of this lineage and is treated like a treasure by the family, so he will never lack money.

Of course, those who can play with him are not ordinary people.

Wang Jingzhi was born into the Wang family of Taiyuan. His father was the former Shizhong Wang Gui. He also married Li Shimin's third daughter, Princess Nanping, in the 11th year of Zhenguan.

The Wang family of Taiyuan belongs to the five surnames and seven families, and is the best among them.

Xiao Kai was the second son of Duke of Song Xiao Yu. Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui was his aunt and he also had a noble bloodline.

His father, Xiao Yu, is still active in the power center of the Tang Dynasty.

The three of them can be said to be both rich and noble.

Du He raised his glass and said gratefully: "Thank you, three brothers. Let's have a toast."

After they clinked their glasses, they all drank the wine in one gulp.

While eating, Cui Shenji, full of doubts, couldn't help but ask.

"Brother Du, I haven't seen you for two months. How come you have become so powerful?"

"The pinyin and dictionary you created are simply divine artifacts. Now the people of Chang'an City are saying that you are the God of Literature incarnated on earth."

We are all playboys, but you have done something great without making any noise.

Now he has transformed into Wenquxingjun.

The other two also pricked up their ears and looked at Du He with curiosity, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Du He smiled and said, "Just read more books when you go back home, and then it will come out naturally."

"Come on, we are all brothers. Don't we know what kind of person you are, Brother Du?"

"That's right, if Brother Du reads a book, I'll eat two pounds of shit!"

Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai waved their hands, obviously not believing Du He's nonsense.

When Du He was studying at the Imperial College, he would always fall asleep as soon as he started reading, which resulted in him being criticized by the Dean every day.

Du He shook his head: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Just treat it as a blind cat catching a dead mouse."

"That makes sense."

The three of them nodded in agreement.

"Pfft~"

Du He almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

These three guys, are they really going too far!

You still look down on him, Master Du...
