At the East Palace banquet, there were constant singing and dancing in the hall, and the guests were laughing and drinking. As the host, Li Jiancheng also raised his glasses frequently, bringing the banquet to climax after climax. Even Li Shimin seemed to let go of the fight at this time. The two brothers joked and greeted each other a few times, and looked like a beautiful scene of being friendly and respectful to each other.

Li Xiu was sitting opposite Li Shimin, and I don’t know if it was his illusion. Whenever Li Shimin talked and drank with Li Jiancheng, he always felt that there was a bit of gunpowder in the air. It was very ordinary, but when they came to their brothers’ mouths, there seemed to be a few other meanings. Some invisible swords seemed to appear in the air, and every time they collided, they brought out a series of sparks.

"It's so tiring to live!" Li Xiu watched the intrigue of Li Jiancheng brothers coldly, and then looked at the other people at the banquet. Some forced to smile, some were proud, some were good at dancing, and some looked like a pig brother, staring at the dancer's thighs on the field, and saliva was almost flowing out.

All kinds of life are in my eyes, which makes Li Xiu think of his past life. He was also one of these people at the time. He put on his own masks for fame and fortune, and lived in the false prosperity intrigue. Only when night falls will he feel tired. However, when the next day, he entered the fame and fortune world with great energy, enjoying it all day long. He died once before he saw these clearly.

"Uncle Ma, can you leave early?" Thinking of the above, Li Xiu felt even more bored. He whispered to Master Ma next to him. He would rather go home to help the craftsmen build his own house than accompany these people to act.

"Wait a little longer. If it weren't for your business, I wouldn't be too lazy to come to such a place!" Mr. Ma said while drinking sips. He was actually very bored here. He couldn't even get into the mouth when his brother Li Jiancheng talked, and he was too lazy to pay attention to other people, so he, like Li Xiu, wanted to leave here early.

"Uncle Ma, should I work as a priest? I don't have to do it every morning and evening like other officials?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of something and asked with great concern. I don't know who invented the system of clocking in to and from get off work. The Tang Dynasty had already begun to implement it, especially the management of officials is very strict, and it is difficult to be lazy.

"What a nonsense job, although the princess has the power to open a government office, she never intended to form her own small power like the King of Qin. Even the princess never interferes with the stay and departure of the generals within the Detachment of Women's Army. So your sacrificial wine is actually a nameless title." Mr. Ma replied indifferently.

"That's good. This kind of job that only takes money and doesn't work is perfect for me!" Li Xiu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. The sacrificial wine was from a fifth-rank official, which was much higher than Li Xiu's scattered official. He only needed to be appointed by the princess and then reported to the Ministry of Personnel. As for the salary, it was paid by the court and did not need to be released from the princess's mansion.

Mr. Ma had known the prospect in Li Xiu's heart for a long time, and now he was too lazy to talk about him. After thinking about it, he said again: "But since you are already from our Women's Army, you must also understand the situation of our Women's Army. It happened that you are bored now. If you have anything you don't understand, please ask me and I'll tell you!"

"The situation of the Women's Detachment..." Li Xiu also showed a contemplative expression at this time. He also knew a lot about the situation of the Women's Detachment. He had contacted many soldiers of the Women's Detachment before in Qingzhou and on his way back. He also knew something from their words. For example, the Women's Detachment now has been reduced to 10,000 people and divided into four Zhechong Mansions, with 2,500 troops in each mansion, led by Ma Ye, Qiu Shili, He Panren, and Xiang Shanzhi.

Thinking of the generals of Qiu Shili and others, Li Xiu suddenly thought of the dispute between the few people when he first met them. At that moment, Li Xiu said with great interest: "Uncle Ma, last time we were eating mutton in Qingzhou, we scolded General He to General He. General Qiu was very close to King Qin. What's going on?"

Hearing Li Xiu asked this question, Ma Ye couldn't help but look up at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin above, and then replied in a low voice: "This is not a secret. You also know that the prince and the King of Qin have been fighting for the support of civil and military officials. Among them, the King of Qin has made great achievements and naturally received the support of most generals in the army, and our Detachment of Women is no exception."

When he said this, Ma Ye paused for a moment and then said, "Lao He is a Western Region. Although there are many Hu people in our Tang Dynasty, and some Hu people even serve as officials in the court, relatively speaking, these Hu officials are still somewhat excluded in the court, and Lao He is more utilitarian and wants to climb up, so he has been very close to the King of Qin very early, but Lao He is still loyal to the princess, and he is a trustworthy person!"

"No wonder Uncle Ma said that General He had his own difficulties. It turned out that this is the reason!" Li Xiu also said to himself with a sudden look on his face when he heard this.

"As for Lao Qiu, he was a little unfair. He was actually always loyal to the princess. However, his younger brother Qiu Xinggong was originally a member of the Women's Army. Later, he was sent by the princess to the Qin King's tent and became a general under the Qin King. He also made many military achievements. With this relationship, Lao Qiu was also in some contact with the Qin King." At this time, Ma Master continued to introduce.

"It turns out that General Qiu's younger brother is Qiu Xinggong. I have heard of this person. He is also a famous brave general in the Qin King's tent!" Li Xiu interjected again. Although Qiu Xinggong is not as famous as Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, he is also an important general in the early Tang Dynasty. It is only said that this person is harsh in nature and likes to eat people's hearts and livers, and he doesn't know whether it is true or false.

"As for Lao Xiang, I don't need to say anything. This guy's mouth is very stinky. If you don't like it, just say it directly. He never considers the consequences. He offended many people for this, but he is also the most loyal to the princess!" Ma Ye said at last. Although He Panren, including him, was somewhat selfish, the loyalty of the four generals of the Detachment of Women, was guaranteed.

After hearing this, Li Xiu nodded. Then he asked some details of the internal details of the Detachment of Women, and finally had a clear understanding of the Detachment of Women.

When it was almost the second day, the banquet finally ended. Ma Ye and Li Xiu immediately stood up and said goodbye, but Li Jiancheng did not try to keep him. In fact, he still had some complaints about Li Xiu. Although Ma Ye said that the princess appointed Li Xiu as the priest, Li Jiancheng also knew that this was probably a means of Li Xiu refusing to recruit him, and with his feelings for Princess Pingyang, he could not say anything.

It is precisely because of this that Li Jiancheng's attitude towards Li Xiu became obviously cold. When Li Xiu left, he did not express much, but asked the emcee to send them out. However, this was exactly what Li Xiu wanted. He hurriedly left the East Palace with Ma Master, and secretly swore in his heartbeat that he would never come again.

It was getting dark, and Li Xiu wanted to go home early to rest, but someone didn't let him go. Just as he and Ma Ye left the palace gate of the East Palace, someone behind him said, "Person Li stay!"

When Li Xiu heard this voice, he rolled his eyes helplessly, then adjusted his expression, showed a false smile and turned around and saluted, "I wonder if there is anything wrong with the King of Qin calling to live here?"

Li Shimin walked out of the gate of the East Palace, and was still following two generals, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong. It was interesting to say that when he rode alone to meet Jie Li Khan, he only brought Qin Qiong alone. However, today he came to his elder brother's banquet and brought Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong with him. Is it more dangerous in his heart that the East Palace is more than the Turkic people?

Li Shimin walked to Li Xiu for about five steps, then stood firm, then looked him up and down with a strange look, then suddenly laughed: "Prince Li... No, I should call you Li Jijiu. Li Jijiu refused my recruitment again and again, and even bets to let me not disturb you anymore. I always thought you were going to surrender to my elder brother, but I didn't expect you would rather accept the title given to you by my third sister than to become my elder brother. This surprised me!"

Hearing Li Shimin's straightforward words, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to pretend to be unaware of them. After all, as long as he knew them in his heart, there was no need to say them all. However, when the words were on his lips, he didn't want to lie anymore. He said helplessly: "There is a saying that is 'It's rare to be confused'. Why should His Highness the King of Qin say so clearly?"

"It's rare to be confused! Haha~, this sentence is well said!" Li Shimin was in a good mood and laughed again. After all, he naturally didn't want Li Jiancheng to get what he couldn't get. Now he finally got what he wanted.

However, after laughing, Li Shimin suddenly spoke again with a serious look on his face: "Personnel Li, the position of priest given to you by the third sister is just a false title. It is impossible for you to do anything great in the future. You are still so young, are you willing to continue like this?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu thought for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and His Highness is in the world, which is very comparable to others. However, for Li, fame and fortune are like clouds, and plainness is the truth. I hope Your Highness will fulfill it!"

Seeing Li Xiu's firm expression when he spoke, Li Shimin finally showed a disappointed look. After a long time, he suddenly sighed and said, "I understand, I will not disturb Li Jijiu again in the future!"

After Li Shimin said that, he turned around and left. Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong also looked at Li Xiu at this time, and then turned around and left. This made Li Xiu finally relieved. From today on, he no longer had to worry about being involved in the fight between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

But Li Xiu forgot that there is a saying that people are in the world and cannot help themselves. It seems that he is already out of trouble. However, there are people in the world, and there are grudges in the world. Now Princess Pingyang has kindness to him. With the relationship between Princess Pingyang and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, it may be difficult for her to stay out of trouble in the future. When Princess Pingyang is involved, can Li Xiu really be cold-eyed and watch?
