As soon as Qiao Dalang and his companions left the Right Prime Minister's Residence, Qiao Xin received a message from Zhang Hu. Knowing that they left the residence safely, he felt relieved.
As for what the people in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion think, it's none of her business! She has no intention of teaching her grandson to curry favor with these noble families, so why would she care about what others think?
When Lu Le, the grandson of the Right Prime Minister, heard the report from the servant, he was in disbelief, thinking that he was deaf and had misheard: "Say it again, Qiao Renyi and his men left without entering the second gate?"
Wouldn't it mean that he would not be able to see the fun he had carefully prepared for half a month?
"Master Xu and Master Guan are with them. The young master of the Qiao family also said...he also said that he had been planning to come and see the world, but now that the guests have arrived and the host is not here, they will not bother him any more!"
There were also those who fanned the flames and said, "Then Master Xu must be your cousin, right? I didn't expect him to be so protective of those Qiao family boys."
Most of the people present heard the hidden meaning of that sentence. They couldn't help but look at Lu Le's face. His own relatives openly defended the enemy in public. Isn't this a slap in his face?
If you really count it, Xu Can's aunt and Lu Le's mother are from the same family, so they can be considered cousins in a roundabout way. Xu Can's current behavior really shows that he doesn't take him seriously.
The kid really couldn't stand being provoked. His face flushed red and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are such an ungrateful country bumpkin. You are not worthy of being on the stage."
"Mr. Lu, why don't you teach them a lesson? Such tactless people have no need to stay in the academy!"
But the well-informed person said, "Even if they don't stay in the capital, they still have places to study. I heard that His Majesty has ordered the illiterate old woman of the Qiao family to rebuild Qingyang Academy."
"What? Where is Qingyang Academy? How can Your Majesty be so careless?"
"Why else do you think Guan Jianze risked offending everyone and wanted to get together with the Qiao family? He also wanted to be the first person to try something new so as to leave a good impression on His Majesty.
I heard that everyone who enters the academy must sign an agreement. Once you enter Qingyang Academy, you are not allowed to bring any servants or maids with you. You have to do everything yourself. The Qiao family has the final say on all activities in the academy. Your Majesty actually agreed to such a ridiculous agreement without even thinking about it."
Someone turned around and asked, "How do you know this? Don't lie to us. This is just like going to jail. How can anyone be willing to go there?"
The man said helplessly, "No one is willing to do it, but Guan Guan Ze Bu is willing to do it? How do you know I am lying? It's just that the news has not spread widely. My uncle happened to be ordered to cooperate with the Qiao family to prepare this matter, and my uncle has decided to send my cousin in as well."
The person who said this was Pei Xinshuo's nephew, the youngest son of the Pei family's eldest wife, Pei Cheng.
But Qing'er heard his uncle ask his father if he should also go out to experience for a year or two. He said that they were too spoiled and cynical. It would be better to go out and see more.
His father was somewhat tempted, but fortunately his mother and grandmother rejected it on the spot.
Otherwise, she would probably be as miserable as Guan Jianze today. It would be better to kill him than to let a child of a noble family follow a farm boy around all day long!
As soon as Pei Cheng said this, the scene suddenly became quiet. Lu Le was angry and resentful when he saw that the banquet he led was once again overshadowed by the Qiao family.
Before he could do anything else, he heard a servant come to report: The Prime Minister asked him to take the boys from each family to meet the elders, especially the children from the Qiao Mansion. Hearing that the King of Qi asked about their situation.
Lu Le:......
Right Prime Minister Lu Jinyan was chatting happily with the chess king. Lu Le came over with a group of friends.
Lu Jinyan thought for a moment and asked for the King of Qi's opinion. The King of Qi said to his servants, "It's a rare opportunity to relax. Why don't you go and see what these guys are doing?"
The two entertained the hall, and everyone bowed when they saw them. After everyone had greeted them, the King of Qi looked around and said, "No need to be polite. Didn't they say that the Qiao family's little guys are here too? Why don't I see them?"
Lu Le never expected that the King of Qi would mention Qiao Dalang and the others as soon as they met.
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, he had to step forward and reply: "Your Highness, they did come here, but they might have something to do at home, so they went back home before entering the second gate."
"Oh, really?" The King of Qi raised his eyelids to look at him, then put down the tea bowl he had just picked up.
Then he said, "I have something important to attend to, so I won't disturb your leisure time."
The King of Qi's attitude changed so quickly that everyone present was caught off guard.
Although everyone understood that this change was definitely related to the Qiao family's child, they were still indignant. They didn't expect that they would be shot down by the person they had always looked down upon after just a face-to-face encounter, and when no one else was around.
A prince who has seen all kinds of people actually cares so much about those children. He doesn't even ask them a question. How embarrassed are they?
As soon as the King of Qi left the palace, the guard came forward and reported what had happened in the front yard and at the back door.
"This is all the talents of today's noble families." The King of Qi had a calm expression, but his words were merciless.
No wonder both generations of the Qiao family are not keen on getting together with them!
"Go, tell the Right Prime Minister what happened at the back door. Does the old lady know what happened today?"
"You should have known this. I have met Zhang Hu before. The Qiao family even sent the chief physician and guard to be the coachman."
