I think my luck is turning around.

"Brother, how much do you know about this world? Or rather, how much do you know about the current situation in the court?" Li Yu whispered, afraid that someone might be listening to them, but there really was someone listening to their conversation.

Gong Ken replied in the same voice, "From what I understand, the current emperor is a wise ruler. He has four sons. The fourth prince is still an infant, the second prince is sickly, and although the third prince is healthy and appears gentle, I always feel there is a conspiracy and am ready to watch the show!"

After hearing this, Li Yu nodded. "You be careful too, watching the show! Don't get yourself involved." Their sarcastic concern was always present between the siblings.

This time, they had a proper meal. After Li Yu returned home, he saw Li Yue, who was studying diligently, which was truly gratifying. However, Li Yue was looking at the account books. Li Yue had been managing the Li family's accounts for over three years now, and the Li family was completely profitable. Even Li Yu's salary was managed by Li Yue.

Years ago, when Li Yue'er was studying under Mr. Ji, she met the accountant of the Ji family. However, his manner of speaking always seemed too presumptuous, as if they were from different worlds. Later, he amassed a fortune, comparable to the national treasury, but he earned too much. Mr. Ji tried to stop him several times, and after that, she never saw him again. The accountant for the Ji family was replaced.

Li Yue'er remembered what Mr. Ji had told her: to earn money with a clear conscience and not to harm the interests of the people. Perhaps that person had indeed harmed the interests of the people, which is why Mr. Ji dealt with him!

The next day, news spread throughout the capital that the Second Prince had fallen ill again. His health, which had been almost fully recovered, was now back in bed!

It was perfectly normal for the other brothers to visit the Second Prince when he fell ill. However, things didn't go smoothly when the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, Mingcan, met. Upon seeing the Crown Prince, the Second Prince thought of Grand Tutor Gong, and became even angrier.

"Big brother, please don't show your face in front of second brother! Look how angry he's made him." Mingcan said sarcastically as soon as he saw this.

"I'm fine, I just caught a bit of a cold recently, it's nothing serious, I'll be fine in a few days." The second prince immediately explained when he saw his third brother's attitude. The crown prince didn't pursue the third prince's disrespect, after all, they were brothers.

"I heard that my elder brother is going to hold a poetry recital next month? I wonder if my health is good enough to attend?"

The second prince rarely went out, so the crown prince was naturally pleased to see his younger brother so interested in the poetry gathering. "It would be wonderful if you could come! I'll have someone send you an invitation in a little while!"

"Will Grand Tutor Gong be present?" The Second Prince's question was somewhat unexpected. He immediately explained, "Grand Tutor Gong is young, but he must be very cultured. I would like to ask him for some advice."

"Of course, Grand Tutor Gong will come."

Ming Kang continued to ask, "What about Li Yu?" This was indeed a bit awkward, but there was no other way!

The Crown Prince looked at his second brother, unsure of his thoughts. Li Yu was a military general; whether he was literate or not, it was uncertain whether he would even agree to come. "What does this mean?"

"General Li Yu's sister composed a poem, and her skillful writing is very much to my liking. I just don't know how much talent her brother has." Although the Second Prince said this, he knew that Li Yu only used his abilities to study military books.

"Yes, that's true. I'll send him an invitation. I just don't know if he'll come."

The Crown Prince always granted his younger brother's requests. The Third Prince picked up a cup and started playing with it. "Brother, your poetry gathering has gathered the best talents in the world. We must witness this!"

Li Yu stayed in his study for a long time. His handwriting was truly ugly on the paper, and unaccustomed to calligraphy, he had no choice but to put down his brush. Just then, someone came to report, "General, the Crown Prince has sent an invitation!"

"An invitation? What is this?" Li Yu said as he left the study and went to the reception room. "The Crown Prince sent me to deliver an invitation to the poetry gathering."

"A poetry gathering! Someone like me, who only knows how to wield a gun, could receive an invitation from the Crown Prince?" Li Yu was still doubting himself. "That's right, the Crown Prince specifically requested it."

"The Crown Prince values ​​him highly. May I ask if Grand Tutor Gong will go?" Li Yu wanted to know if his brother would go, since he was a teacher and it would be a bit like bullying him if he went!

"Grand Tutor Gong will go."

"Okay, I'll go too."
