Chapter 7

The young woman next to Li Chen had exquisite and beautiful features, and her scattered hair set off a fair oval face.

Even if her face looked a bit haggard, it was still difficult to cover the style between her eyebrows.

What made Li Chen feel the most strange was that her green figure was wearing a dark purple chest-high pipa-collar ru skirt.

This kind of skirt is only tasteful when worn by women with a relatively plump figure, and it doesn't look like a style she can control.

Before Li Chen could ask what she wanted, she spoke first: "This young master looks a bit unfamiliar, rarely coming to our area."

Her voice was very soft and glutinous, like coquetry, and the way she looked at people had a kind of affectionate emotion.

Every man who was stared at by her had an illusion of 'does this woman like me'.

Such a woman is the most capable of stirring a man's heart.

Li Chen didn't eat this set. Compared to those enchanting women in the palace, this woman was simply pure and a fledgling.

He asked directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

This woman looked like she should have unspeakable difficulties, and looking at her dress, she should be going to attend some evening banquet.

And she is young and beautiful, and she will definitely attract the attention of many men.

No, to be precise, there should be many male pursuers.

If Li Chen guessed correctly, this woman seemed not to want to attend the evening banquet, so she mostly wanted to ask him to be a shield.

If it were before, Li Chen would definitely not do it, but now, being a shield means he can reasonably beat people up, maybe the mission will be completed.

But Li Chen didn't expect that he guessed right, but not completely right.

"This is what you said, then I'll just say it directly."

When saying this, the woman's painting style changed greatly.

From a charming woman, she became a girl burdened with worries.

It can be seen that the charming appearance just now was acted.

She ordered a pot of wine, drank it in one gulp, and then gathered her courage to start telling her story.

Her name is Lin Yue'e, a student of the Xinhuo Fighting Academy. She had extraordinary talent since she was a child, and she was a well-known cultivation genius in the local area.

When it came to this, Li Chen was a bit confused.

I let you say it directly, but I didn't let you start from the beginning.

But seeing the bitterness in her eyes, Li Chen didn't interrupt and acted as a listener.

After all, Li Chen had no silver on him to pay for the meal, so it was really not easy to leave.

As a poor student, Lin Yue'e practiced very hard, hoping to achieve a career as soon as possible.

Without accident, relying on hard work and talent, she successfully passed the strictest assessment and was admitted to the Xinhuo Fighting Academy.

This is one of the top academies of the Tian Ce Dynasty. As long as you can graduate successfully, it can be said that you are returning home in glory.

Carrying full enthusiasm, she left her hometown and came to the imperial capital.

She thought she would rely on this ability to become the most dazzling new star in the imperial capital.

Only after arriving at the Xinhuo Fighting Academy did she find that the proud sons of heaven from all over the country gathered here.

Some were more talented than her, and even worked harder than her. This is simply a gathering place for roll dogs, and she looked very mediocre.

All her beautiful dreams were beaten back to reality, and she even fell into confusion for a period of time.

After being depressed for a period of time, Lin Yue'e began to wake up.

Precisely because everyone here is a genius, only if she can stand out will it have gold content.

So she worked hard to practice at the Xinhuo Fighting Academy, and finally achieved some results, and her ranking was also very high.

This is a good inspirational story. Li Chen still doesn't understand where the bitterness in her eyes comes from.

Lin Yue'e stopped when she said this, and seemed a bit embarrassed to speak.

Immediately after, she drank a few more sips of wine, continued to borrow the wine's strength, and started to say.

As a woman with some beauty, naturally there is no lack of trouble from opposite sex pursuit.

But the one who pursued Lin Yue'e was an official's son over forty years old, whose father was an official of the Ministry of Rites, with high power and heavy power.

This guy is a typical idler, greedy for money and lustful. In an accidental encounter with Lin Yue'e, he became crazy about pursuing Lin Yue'e.

Lin Yue'e has worked hard until now, how can she be willing to marry this kind of person and go to be a concubine.

But the official's son put out his father's identity, and other pursuers didn't dare to fight with him. After all, having offended the official of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial capital, how can he mix in the Tian Ce Dynasty.

Usually with the care of teachers, this official's son is not easy to cause trouble in the academy.

There is a special banquet tonight, and all the excellent students in the three major academies have to participate, which concerns their future.

That official's son over forty years old has clearly stated that if Lin Yue'e doesn't agree, don't think about graduating from the Xinhuo Fighting Academy.

Lin Yue'e has to go, but doesn't want to compromise.

The general situation is like this, and Li Chen has already understood.

"Then why look for me?"

"I just looked at the young master's dress, should be a royal family member, right?"

Lin Yue'e is not stupid. She knows that royal family members are not afraid of official's sons.

Just passing by, seeing the dragon-patterned gold edge on Li Chen's clothes, she decided to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor and decided to come over for help.

"So it is. However, your judgment is correct, I am indeed a royal family member."

!

Li Chen didn't tell a lie, isn't the Emperor a royal family member.

Lin Yue'e said excitedly: "Then is the young master willing to do me this favor?"

Li Chen glanced at her and said: "You should know that asking for help requires a price."

Feeling Li Chen's gaze looking at her, Lin Yue'e seemed to 'understand' something, and her little face turned red.

"As long as the young master's request is not excessive, Yue'e will try her best to satisfy the young master."

Although Li Chen's features were born naturally, and his face was even more handsome, under the influence of alcohol, the more she looked, the more she seemed to be intoxicated.

But she still has a certain bottom line!

"Okay, this is what you said."

Lin Yue'e was prepared for a relatively bad plan.

Who knew, Li Chen's request was to let Lin Yue'e help him pay for the meal.

Lin Yue'e was stunned on the spot. That feeling was like, I took off my pants, and you just showed me this?

But Lin Yue'e reacted very quickly. She felt that Li Chen was just looking for an excuse to help her.

With this person's dress and temperament, how could there be no money in his pocket.

Taking a step back, even if this royal family member had no money in his pocket, it was impossible for the old housekeeper next to him not to bring money.

Thinking of this, her favorability for Li Chen rose a few points again.

It's just that she didn't expect that these two really didn't bring money.

After Lin Yue'e paid the money, several people left the restaurant.

The mansion where the evening banquet was held was not far from this area, which was a twenty-minute walk.

Along the way, the cool breeze made Lin Yue'e's head much clearer.

If it weren't for the help of the wine, she really wouldn't be embarrassed to ask a royal family member she had never met for help.

But without a background, she was very helpless in this deep imperial capital, and she really had no other way. Li Chen was her only life-saving straw.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she had already arrived at the mansion where the evening banquet was held, and the host was the Ministry of Rites.

Li Chen and Lin Yue'e were dressed brightly, and the guards at the gate just asked casually and let them in.

But the guards stopped Zhao Wenyuan, indicating that the servants were waiting outside and could not enter such a place.

This made Zhao Wenyuan furious. I am the dignified Prime Minister of the dynasty, and you dare to say that I am a servant? How dare a few guards of the Ministry of Rites stop me?

But then again, by Li Chen's side, he is indeed a servant.

If it weren't for seeing Li Chen's eyes, Zhao Wenyuan would have wanted to call someone to tear this place down.

Because he knew that the protagonist today was not him.

"The Ministry of Rites is going to suffer."

Zhao Wenyuan had heard a little about these things, which also belonged to the unspoken rules in the officialdom of the dynasty.

But the one who entered is the absolute rule of this dynasty.
