"Yes, Xiaoduan is with me." said the shopkeeper.
When Tang Li entered the restaurant owned by the shopkeeper, he saw a young man sitting in front of a large table of food, drinking wine and eating food, looking very comfortable.
When Tang Li came to the capital, he naturally brought Yan Xiaoduan with him.
When she first bought Yan Xiaoduan, the boy was fifteen years old. Now three years have passed and he is eighteen years old, but his personality has not changed at all.
Tangli was bought as a study companion, but he turned out to be the master and acted very arrogantly.
Yan Xiaoduan looked up and saw Tang Li, and immediately smiled.
"Lao Tang, come over and have dinner. I ordered a table full of delicious dishes. Don't be polite." Yan Xiaoduan greeted him warmly.
Tang Li was almost laughing because of her.
This is the attitude of a host entertaining guests, but it turns out that none of the food is hers?
Tangli walked over and sat down opposite him.
Although Yan Xiaoduan's personality has not changed, his appearance has actually changed a little.
Three years ago, my face was still childish. Three years later, I have matured a lot, with more defined features. I look like an adult, but I am still a child inside. It’s like there is a child inside an adult’s body.
"Yan Xiaoduan, where are your parents?" Tang Li asked.
Before, Yan Xiaoduan always looked like he was waiting for someone to pick him up from Mu Yang. After Tang Li got to know him a little, he realized that the person he was waiting for was his parents.
Yan Xiaoduan has parents, he is not an orphan.
Moreover, from Tangli's perspective on people, he always felt that Yan Xiaoduan was not from an ordinary family, and his parents were not ordinary people.
I just don’t know why his parents didn’t come to look for him since he ran away from home for three years?
This is a mystery. However, everyone has their own secrets. Yan Xiaoduan didn't want to talk about it, and Tang Li didn't ask.
When Tang Li mentioned his parents, disappointment flashed across Yan Xiaoduan's eyes, and he soon put on a nonchalant smile.
"I've seen through the hypocritical father-son relationship. I want to be a lone ranger and wander around the world." Yan Xiaoduan said, putting on a cool and unrestrained posture as if he had seen through the world.
"Well, you can be a lone ranger, just don't spend my money." Tang Li said.
Yan Xiaoduan's handsomeness lasted only three seconds before he immediately put on a flattering smile: "Sis, you are my sister, how could you bear to see me living in the open and on the streets?"
"Why is there anything so cruel about this?" Tang Li said heartlessly.
"Sister, classes at the Imperial College are almost over. Let's go pick up Ziang and Xu Jue!" Yan Xiaoduan jumped up and tried her best to show that she was a qualified study partner.
Sanbao covered his lips and laughed at him. Uncle Xiaoduan was so funny.
Tangli was also amused by him.
She didn't know whether this study partner was qualified or not, but he was the one who could be the funny one.
The three of them walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the Imperial College.
At the end of this road, you will reach the Imperial College.
There was a wall in front of them, and they had to walk along the wall for a while before they could reach the main gate.
The Imperial College is really huge. It is worthy of being the highest institution of learning in the capital, a place that many scholars dream of entering.
However, in this era, the class gap was too great. Ordinary students could only enter if they had extremely good grades. Ordinary students would never be able to enter such a place in their entire lives. Therefore, most of the people there were children of high-ranking officials and nobles.
Tangli walked around the wall.
"Mom, look." Sanbao shouted.
Tang Li raised his head and saw a young man climbing out of the high wall with one foot stretched out.
Perhaps it was too high, the boy was trembling with fear.
Suddenly, his body tilted and he fell out of the wall.
"Ahhhhhh!" the boy screamed in fear.
The next moment, he fell into someone's arms.
The boy's face was pale and he was completely confused, his hands still tightly around Tang Li's neck.
It doesn’t hurt…
He didn't fall to the ground?!
When he came to his senses, he realized that he was being held in the arms of a girl. His face instantly turned from white to red, and he wished he could find a gap to crawl into.
"You...you let go...of me...my master!" the young man said angrily.
The boy has a pair of cat-like eyes, which are black and look very cute.
"It was you who hugged my neck." Tang Li said speechlessly.
The boy's face flushed red and he quickly withdrew his hand.
Tangli then let him go.
The young man stood on the ground, feeling very ashamed and angry. He looked around and was relieved when he saw that no one else saw him being hugged by a girl.
"Oh, master, my little master, why are you here?" A servant of about sixteen or seventeen years old ran over anxiously, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young man was safe and sound.
"Since the gate won't let me out, I have no choice but to take an unconventional route! I'm bored, I want to go home!" After the young man said this, he turned around and left quickly.
After walking a few steps, he ran to Tang Li again and said fiercely, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I'll chop you off!"
"Well, I won't tell you." Tang Li said.
"Hmph." The boy turned and ran away.
Yan Xiaoduan watched the master and servant walk away and said with a sigh, "How ungrateful this kid is! He's so cruel to his benefactor and even wants to chop him up. No wonder he can't grow tall."
"He is a prince." Tang Li said.
"Prince? Shouldn't the prince be in the palace? There are teachers in the palace to teach them. Why do they come to the Imperial College?" Yan Xiaoduan has been in the capital for so long, eating and drinking every day, and has many friends. Naturally, he knows a lot of things.
Tangli shook his head.
Although she had an intelligence network, it could not extend to the capital, let alone the imperial palace. Therefore, she was not particularly aware of the undercurrents and power struggles in the palace.
"Then how do you know he is the prince?" Yan Xiaoduan was very curious.
"He almost let it slip just now. He calls himself 'Your Highness'. Who else can be called Your Highness?" Tang Li said, "And there's a dragon on his jade pendant..."
According to the ancestral customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's dragon had five claws, the prince's had four claws, and the emperor's had three claws.
Therefore, that person must be the prince.
Yan Xiaoduan was stunned and gave her a thumbs up.
His family’s Lao Tang is still the best.
This observation skill is amazing!
Tang Li didn't take this matter to heart and continued walking forward until he reached the main gate of the Imperial College.
The main gate of the Imperial College is very majestic, and there are many articles written on the boards on both sides, all of which are works of great masters.
The Imperial College had not yet dismissed students, so Tang Li, Sanbao, and Yan Xiaoduan were waiting outside.
Yan Xiaoduan shook his head as he looked at those masterpieces. After a while, he covered his head with his hands. Woo, my head hurts.
This is also why he admires Wei Ziang and Xu Jue. These two brothers can actually spend countless days and nights looking at these words and still enjoy it.
…
In the Imperial College.
After school, the students packed up their things and left the school, preparing to go home.
Among them, two slender and tall figures are particularly eye-catching.
They were two handsome young men, exuding a scholarly air, like two bright pearls.
The people of the Great Zhou were open-minded, and there were many female students in the Imperial College.
Female students and male students dressed the same, both wearing scholar robes and crowns on their heads.
Many female students looked at the two boys, but one female student was the boldest. She walked up to them and blocked their way.
"Wei Ziang, I wrote a poem. Why don't you give me some comments on it?" the female student said with a red face, handing over a letter.
