Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Chapter 11 Princess Dayu



Yujing College, 12th floor of the library.

Li Yuan never expected to meet an unexpected person here.

The eldest princess of Dayu, Li Mujun.

She has a pair of sparkling eyes, a rather heroic face, a plump figure, and slender thighs. She is wearing a purple fairy skirt, which shows her perfect figure.

"Xiao Yuan, you like reading books very much."

Li Mujun had been staying in the Library Pavilion for a while. He had been paying attention to Li Yuan, who was fascinated by the book, and finally couldn't help but show up.

Li Yuan, who was holding an ancient book in his hand, was awakened by the sound. He looked up and saw Li Mujun with a shocked expression.

"Auntie, are you here too?"

Li Mujun was very satisfied with Li Yuan's expression and smiled slightly:

"I came here earlier than you, just to wait for you."

"Wait for me? Auntie knows that I will come to the library?"

Li Yuan frowned and wondered why Li Mujun was looking for him at this time.

"You and Yao'er will be separated sooner or later when you come to Yujing Academy. With your habit of looking at the collection of books in the Imperial Academy, it's not difficult to guess that you're here."

Li Mujun took two steps forward and came to the wooden window of the bookstore. With his back to Li Yuan, his tone was quite confident.

Li Yuan was silent, closed the book, took two steps forward and came to Li Mujun's side, followed Li Mujun's gaze to look at a certain attic of Yujing College.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes. It seemed to be a residence. Could it be Chu Qingyan's residence.

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and waited quietly for the eldest princess to say something. She was the one who came to him anyway, so he didn't need to say anything, Li Mujun would do it himself.

Sure enough, Li Mujun saw Li Yuan waiting quietly, pointed to the residence in his sight and said:

"Did you know that just when His Majesty summoned you last night, Chu Junyan also arrived at Yujing Academy, right there!"

Li Yuan's heart moved. He really didn't know, so he asked for advice:

"Auntie, please clarify."

"His Majesty summoned you last night to let us know and to let the families in Kyoto know. This is to show that the two eldest ladies of the Zhenguo Mansion this time are the two of you."

"So do you think it was Chu Junyan who chose you, or Chu Qingyan who chose you?"

Li Mujun finally faced Li Yuan, his eyes were very sharp, which put a sense of pressure on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Aunt, why do you think they will choose me instead of fourth brother?"

"Besides, my father has not let go."

Li Mujun put his hands behind his back and said with a smile:

"Not only me, but also your royal brothers are leaning towards you."

"Uh~!"

"Don't be surprised. No one can predict what's going on. We rack our brains and make guesses about other forces. We just know a little more intelligence information, so we can only make a correct judgment."

"So you all placed your bets?" Li Yuan said helplessly, "But it's not like they two chose me, they still need Father's nod."

"When His Majesty asked you to come out, he already nodded to the Zhenguo Mansion, otherwise he would only let one of you come out."

"If nothing else goes wrong, in three days' time, when Chu Junyan goes to court, she will ask your majesty to let Chu Qingyan choose you!"

When Li Yuan saw Li Mujun's smiling face, he felt a chill rise for some reason. He and the eldest princess had never crossed paths.

So what does it mean for her to come to see him?

It's impossible to tell yourself specifically.

Li Yuan immediately panicked and said: "Aunt, it's impossible. That's the little witch Chu Qingyan. How can I marry her? Besides, I told my father that I don't want to marry them."

"This is how to do ah!"

Li Yuan held the book in his hand tightly, looking anxious.

"Did you tell His Majesty that you don't want to marry them?" Li Mujun's eyes showed a hint of surprise, staring at Li Yuan's expression to see if there were any signs of lying.

"Yes, I told my father last night, but he ignored me." Li Yuan nodded fiercely.

After hearing this, Li Mujun's face turned cold and he snorted coldly:

"Hmph! How can you, a prince, choose royal matters?"

As soon as the words came out, Li Mujun realized that his tone was wrong, so he said gently:

"Xiao Yuan, do you not want to marry Chu Qingyan?"

"No, why would I want to marry her?" Li Yuan shook his head quickly.

Li Mujun sighed: "Today, when I came to see you, I knew that you didn't want to marry Chu Qingyan. After all, you are my nephew. If I don't help you, who will help you?"

"Three days later, it will be the time when Chu Junyan asks His Majesty for a marriage. Your Majesty, among the important ministers in the court, will definitely agree to her request. So if you don't want to marry Chu Qingyan, you need to wait for two days Tell His Majesty in advance that you want to marry Chu Junyan, so that His Majesty may grant you and Chu Junyan a marriage in advance."

Li Mujun wants me to marry Chu Junyan!

Li Yuan, who lowered his head, narrowed his eyes.

Now that Chu Junyan has quietly arrived in Kyoto, if his father granted him a marriage in advance and exposed Chu Junyan, Chu Junyan would be hard-pressed and would probably bite the bullet and agree.

Li Mujun suddenly thought of something, and his eyes showed interest:

"If you don't even want to marry Chu Junyan, you can tell Yao'er directly and ask Yao'er to tell his mother and concubine. Your Majesty may also change the candidate."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, this was a good idea.

"Thanks for the advice, aunt."

Li Mujun's smile deepened when he saw Li Yuan's knowing expression.

"By the way, you are about to turn sixteen, and you are about to open a mansion. You also need to select some talents in advance. Yujing Academy is good. There will be an academy competition in five days. You can come and take a look."

"Academy competition?"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Mujun, and made up his mind that in the future, anyone from Yujing Academy would not use it if possible.

"Well, Xiao Yuan, you are not well informed. The Yujing Academy Competition is a grand event in Kyoto. There will be many forces watching, and your royal brothers will be there every time."

"I see. I will definitely be there when the time comes."

…………………………

Li Mujun left, and Li Yuan continued to read in the library. He was fascinated for a while. The sun gradually went down, and he realized that dusk was shining around Li Yuan.

When Li Yuan just stepped out of the library, he found that Li Yao was already waiting. In addition to Bai Yingjie, there were five or six more students waiting beside him.

"Fifth brother, you have figured it out. If you wait for a while, I will go up to find you."

Li Yao and Bai Yingjie chatted happily. When Li Yuan came out, Li Yao didn't show any signs of impatience.

"I kept fourth brother waiting for a long time."

Li Yuan made an apologetic expression.

"Greetings to His Highness the Fifth Prince." Bai Yingjie and the others hurriedly saluted.

"Let's go, it's getting late and we should go back to the palace, otherwise we will be scolded by our father." Li Yao waved his hand, not giving Li Yuan a chance to communicate with them, and pulled Li Yuan onto the carriage.
