Chapter 789: Wei Qing Helps Gu Huaiyu Chase His Wife
On this day, Cao Jingyuan dressed up specially and went out dressed like a colorful peacock.
Faced with such a powerful rival in love as Gu Huaiyu, he became more motivated and thought about dressing up, giving full play to his appearance advantages, and trying to surpass Gu Huaiyu.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, someone blocked his way.
The person who stopped him stood straight and had an oppressive aura, and it was obvious that he was well-trained.
"Mr. Cao, the Regent wants to see you." the man said.
Regent?!
This person is indeed not an ordinary person, he is someone close to the Regent!
When Cao Jingyuan was in Lanxi, he heard the legendary story of the regent.
He was the eldest son of the emperor and had been living in the countryside since he was young. He entered the court as a noble son and was deeply trusted by the emperor. He held a high position and power and sat on the position of regent to help the Xiao family clear their grievances.
Each of these events alone is enough for a storyteller to talk about.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty all respected and feared the Regent, and Cao Jingyuan was no exception.
After the man announced the name of the Regent, he subconsciously followed him and got into the carriage...
Only after the carriage had been away for some time did Cao Jingyuan begin to think a little.
Why did the Regent look for him?
His father was somewhat well-known in Lanxi, but this was in the capital! Figures like the Regent seemed out of his reach.
Cao Jingyuan met the Regent with curiosity and uneasiness.
The man in front of him was tall and handsome, with sharp edges and three-dimensional features. He looked intimidating without even being angry.
When Cao Jingyuan was at the gate of Wu's mansion, he had seen the Regent from a distance, but he had never seen him so closely.
"Are you Cao Wang's son?" Wei Qing looked at him and said.
"Yes." Cao Jingyuan was somewhat flattered. "Your Majesty, do you know my father?"
"Pei Yan was once my personal guard. He mentioned your father and you." Wei Qing said.
Wei Qing and Tang Li met Pei Yan in Lanxi, Liangzhou. Pei Yan has two identities: one is the owner of an underground casino, and the other is the son of a prominent family in Lanxi. He has some connections with Cao Wang and they have some friendship.
"Pei Yan?!" Cao Jingyuan was even more shocked.
Pei Yan is older than him and is young and promising. His father often praises Pei Yan and asks him to learn more from him.
Therefore, Cao Jingyuan's feelings towards Pei Yan are very complicated. On the surface, he is very disdainful, but in fact he admires and yearns for him.
"Pei Yan, what did he say about me?" Cao Jingyuan asked casually, but in fact he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Pei Yandao, you are very smart and a talented person with great potential." Wei Qing said.
Pei Yan actually praised him like that?
Cao Jingyuan was very happy.
"Pei Yan recommended you to me." Wei Qing continued.
Pei Yan actually recommended him to the Regent?!
Cao Jingyuan was extremely flattered and said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Pei, you are too kind." He was curious, "Why did he recommend me?"
"The Hanlin Academy is compiling a book and they happen to be short of people. You'd be a perfect fit to go there," Wei Qing said.
"Hanlin Academy?" Cao Jingyuan was shocked again. That was the Hanlin Academy. How many people were vying to get in? His remaining rationality told him that something was wrong. "But, I don't have any honors."
"I am not an official, I have no rank, I just work as an editor in the Hanlin Academy." In fact, he is just a non-staff member.
But this was a godsend for Cao Jingyuan, and he couldn't help but agree to it immediately.
Anyway, this is enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life!
"Thank you very much, Your Highness. I will serve you wholeheartedly." Cao Jingyuan knelt down in front of Wei Qing and said gratefully.
"Your admission to the Imperial Academy is my order. You must work hard and do your job well, and don't bring shame upon me." Wei Qing's tone turned cold. "Otherwise, I will not let you off easily."
The last sentence was threatening. Cao Jingyuan felt a chill on his neck and quickly promised that he would do his job well.
After Cao Jingyuan got the job, he was so happy that he almost jumped for joy when he left.
If his father knew about this, he would definitely be grateful to his ancestors for blessing him and for his success!
It makes me happy just thinking about it, and I really want to write a letter to tell his father right away.
In that extreme excitement, he vaguely remembered that he had forgotten one thing. He went to the Hanlin Academy, so what should he do about chasing the fish girl?
Cao Jingyuan quickly figured it out. He was just a non-staff member and shouldn't be that busy.
Besides, men with careers are more attractive. He worked as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, learned knowledge, and was able to chat with Miss Yu. He wouldn't be unable to get a word in when Gu Huaiyu and Miss Yu were chatting.
Cao Jingyuan was still very optimistic at this time, but after a few days, he was no longer optimistic.
Because the editor of the Hanlin Academy he followed was very busy and very strict, and had very high expectations of him!
If he slacked off even a little, he would be scolded. If he said he would quit, he would be taken to see the Regent.
Cao Jingyuan had to go out very early every day and come back very late, so he had no energy to look for Du Qingyu.
He also wanted to sneak away, but when he thought of the threatening tone of the Regent and the stern look of the editor of the Hanlin Academy, he immediately became timid and could only do his work obediently.
After a while, Cao Jingyuan had something serious to do and suddenly found that he didn't miss Du Qingyu that much.
Wei Qing helped his second uncle get rid of a love rival without any bloodshed.
Wei Qing was not the kind of person who would do good deeds without leaving his name, so he naturally told his wife about this matter.
In front of Cao Jingyuan, he is the regent who is awe-inspiring and superior without getting angry, but in front of Tangli, he is just a big dog blinking his eyes and asking for praise.
Tang Li couldn't help but laugh. Cao Jingyuan was still too young and was actually fooled by her husband.
Seeing her husband's expression asking for praise, she reached out and touched his head. The man looked like it wasn't enough, so Tang Li leaned over and gave him a kiss.
He cupped the back of her head with his large hands and deepened the kiss.
…
Gu Huaiyu was not idle during this period and often asked Du Qingyu out.
However, his methods were not as stupid as Cao Jingyuan's, he could only cheat and pester others.
He would find some difficult Go endgames, as well as some good articles and paintings, and invite Du Qingyu to appreciate them.
He catered to her preferences and Du Qingyu would agree every time.
After spending some time together, the two became friends.
One day, Gu Huaiyu found a fragment of a painting and invited Du Qingyu to come and verify its authenticity.
Du Qingyu was very interested in this painting. He had been looking for it for a long time but couldn't find it. After hearing about it, he happily went there.
This was not the first time Du Qingyu came to the Gu family. She was quite familiar with the family. However, she had always come with Tangli or to find Tangli in the past. This time, she came to find Gu Huaiyu.
Du Qingyu was led by a servant to Gu Huaiyu's study.
From a distance, I saw a white figure. When I got closer, I saw that he was elegant and handsome.
Gu Huaiyu had a smile on his face and led her into the study.
On the large table in the study, there was a fragment of a painting, about a quarter of the entire painting.
Du Qingyu leaned in to look at the painting for a long time, a happy smile appearing on his face.
"This painting is very likely to be real." Du Qingyu said.
Du Qingyu turned around in surprise and found Gu Huaiyu standing not far behind her. When she turned around, she was almost held in his arms.
