493 Chapter 71-scheming (Part 2)

“Even if I, your second brother, were to meet the current Emperor, I would not be nervous.” Xu cijiu said lightly. His face was serious as he frowned and lowered his voice.

“When you enter the banquet, listen more, watch more and speak less. You’re just a female escort, nothing will happen to you. As for me …”

As for me, I might have to meet the head of the court.

In fact, Xu Erlang was worthy of being the leader of his generation just based on his courage and fighting spirit.

The Wang Residence was extremely large. The brother and sister followed the servants for a long time, passing through corridors and courtyards, and finally came to a garden. The fake mountains and green water, against the new green leaves, as well as the flower buds that were about to bloom, made the scenery quite pleasant.

In the spacious garden, there was the sound of clear chanting and the sound of charming laughter.

Walking out of the long corridor, Xu Erlang and Xu lingyue saw two groups of people sitting at tables. On the left were more than a dozen scholars in Confucian robes, all of them in high spirits and with an imposing appearance.

On the right, there was a group of young and beautiful girls wearing all kinds of dresses.

The moment the Xu family’s brother and sister appeared, the atmosphere clearly stagnated. The eyes of the young men and women in the prime of their lives lit up one after another.

Xu Erlang frowned. This was different from what he had expected. In his imagination, this meeting would be hosted by Chief Assistant Wang, and the tributes who participated in the meeting would explain their ideas and show their talents in front of the chief Assistant.

If he could win the favor of the chief and assistant, he would have a backer when he entered the Imperial court in the future.

He didn’t expect the atmosphere to be so relaxed. There were fine wine and delicious food, fresh fruits, and … There were actually so many young girls.

“Young master Xu, young lady Xu, please take a seat.”

A woman with good facial features and a graceful temperament stood up and bowed.

She was tall and her slightly round face was gentle and beautiful. Her eyes were very bright, and when she smiled, she had the gracefulness of a lady from a big family, but also a trace of slyness.

Xu niannian and Xu lingyue returned the greeting. The former looked around a little, then walked to the seat on the left and picked an empty seat to sit down.

“Xu Huiyuan, I’ve long heard of your name.”

As soon as he sat down, the surrounding Tributes raised their wine glasses.

As expected, other than me, there are no other students from Yun Lu Academy. These people are all students from the Directorate … Xu niannian’s heart trembled, but he smiled calmly and raised his glass to toast back.

He chatted with the tributes for a moment. These people were so polite that he was a little surprised. There were no hidden needles in the cotton or public provocations.

With chief advisor Wang’s power and wisdom, it was really low-end to openly provoke him … Xu niannian nodded slightly. As expected of chief advisor Wang, he had already made me feel like I was facing a great enemy before he even arrived.

On the other side, Xu lingyue was arranged to be next to miss Wang. The latter smiled gently.”Miss Xu, how old are you this year?”

“Seventeen,” Xu lingyue said in a soft voice.
