Jiuyou Wangfu, since the return of Jiuyou King and Ning Chen, for several days, the royal dignitaries have continued to come to worship the mansion.

Ning Chen received all the people as usual, and the visitors did not refuse, the tea was changed to one pot after another, and the teacups were thrown one after another.

For a few days, the King of the Nine Shadows did not appear again, and the affairs of the palace were all handed over to Ning Chen to deal with.

The day after the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince left, the Nine Emperor Princes sent two maids, named Shiyu and Shiqing, both in appearance and temperament, they are the best choice, rare in the world, and the purpose is self-evident.

However, a few days after the two girls came to the palace, Ning Chen really treated the two of them as maids, serving tea and water, cleaning the mansion, and not feeling any pity for the fragrance and jade.

Shi Yu and Shi Qing were still looking forward to it at first, but as time passed, they didn't see any interest in them from the young master of the Nine Shadows Palace, so they gradually lost their expectations.

"Poetry Rain"

In the palace, after sending off the last batch of guests of the day, Ning Chen glanced at the tea set on the table and called.

"Your Highness"

Outside the palace, Shiyu walked over, looked at the person in front of him, and saluted.

"Pack it up and throw it away. ”

Ning Chen said calmly.

"Yes!"

Shi Yu responded lightly, walked to the table, cleaned up the tea set, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Outside the palace, Shi Qing looked at Shi Yu who walked out, her beautiful face flashed with a different color, and said, "Throw it away again?"

"Hmm"

Shiyu nodded and answered.

"It's strange that our Highness throws away all the things they used every time a guest leaves. Shiqing's expression was puzzled.

"Just do things, don't talk too much. ”

Shi Yu reprimanded softly, the nobles of Wang Sun have many quirks, and they are not qualified to interfere as slaves and maids.

was reprimanded by Sister A, Shiqing was silent and didn't dare to ask more.

In the palace, dealing with the royal magnates for several days, Ning Chen's face flashed with exhaustion, among the magnates, not all of them are sensible and sensible, there are also many smart people like Xuan Qing and Xuan Ling, even if he has to deal with it carefully.

"Shiqing"

Ning Chen saw the woman standing quietly outside the hall and opened his mouth to call.

"Your Highness"

Outside the palace, Shiqing heard the call, and immediately walked into His Royal Highness and saluted respectfully.

"But there are still prayers?" Ning Chen asked.

"Back to Your Highness, there is no more for the time being. Shiqing said softly.

"That's fine. ”

Ning Chen nodded and said, "Go and prepare two jars of good wine, I'll go out later." ”

"Yes"

Shiqing received the order and retreated with a puzzled expression.

Your Highness is going out?In these three imperial cities, does Your Highness have any other acquaintances?

After a while, Shiqing walked into the hall with two jars of wine and handed them to the master in front of her.

"Your Highness, do you need slaves and maids to go with you?" Shiqing began.

"No need, you and Shiyu can stay in the house. ”

Ning Chen answered, immediately took the two jars of wine, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Outside the palace, Shi Yu and Shi Qing glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of doubts.

Where is this going, Your Highness?

Outside the palace, Ningchen traveled all the way to the west, and the scorching sun traveled westward, gradually reaching the evening.

In front of the Three Imperial Cities, the Praetorian Guards were performing the last change of guard, and Xuan Mo saw that everything was ready, and his heart was relaxed.

Although he had arranged the change of defense countless times, he was still a little nervous every time, after all, when he changed the guard, it was the weakest time for the dynasty's defense, and he had to be careful.

After the change of guard, Xuan Mo glanced at the sunset that was about to set in the west, and couldn't help but want to go home quickly.

"Thirteen Highnesses"

At this moment, the change of guard was over, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who were about to leave were shocked when they saw the people coming in front of them, and saluted respectfully.

"Get up. ”

Ning Chen opened his mouth and said calmly.

"Your Highness. ”

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army stood up and moved out of the way.

Under the city gate, Xuan Mo saw the young man coming, and a different color flashed in his eyes, disciple of the Nine Shadows King, why did he come.

The disciple of the Nine Shadows King entered the royal family and became the thirteenth prince of the royal family, and now the entire Three Imperial Cities knows about it, and it stands to reason that this Thirteenth Highness should not have the extra energy to come here.

"Brother Xuanmo. ”

Ning Chen looked at the man in front of him and said with a smile, "I dare to shout big brother, Brother Xuanmo won't mind." ”

"His Royal Highness Thirteen has a noble status, and he is at the end of the general. Xuanmo saluted and spoke.

"Brother Xuanmo is too polite, Master is in retreat these days, I don't know anyone in this city, I can't find anyone to drink, so I have to come to disturb Brother Xuanmo, I hope Brother Xuanmo doesn't mind. Ning Chen smiled.

Xuan Mo looked at the person in front of him, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, you can go to the cold house to talk about it." ”

"Then it's going to bother Brother Xuanmo. Ning Chen said.

"Your Highness is polite, please!"

Xuan Mo said with a respectful look on his face.

Ning Chen bowed his head and walked forward with two jars of wine.

In the southeast of the imperial city, the two of them walked all the way, not far ahead, in an inconspicuous small courtyard, Xuan Mo walked with Ning Chen.

Pushing open the courtyard door, in the courtyard, a woman who looked a little delicate was busy, and when she saw the two people coming, her expression was obviously stunned.

"This is His Highness the Thirteenth, the disciple of the Nine Shadow Kings. Xuan Mo opened his mouth and introduced.

When the woman heard this, her face was shocked, and she immediately stopped what she was doing, saluted, and said, "Meet Your Highness Thirteen." ”

Ning Chen stepped forward, helped the woman up, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to see outside, I'm not invited, I'm bothering." ”

"His Highness the Thirteenth is serious. The woman got up and said.

"You go ahead and get busy, I'll entertain His Highness the Thirteenth. Xuan Mo looked at the woman and spoke.

"Hmm"

The woman nodded, bowed again, and went on with her business.

"Your Highness Thirteen, the humble house is shabby, please bear with me. "Xuanmo is colorful.

"No matter how luxurious a place is, you can't be with people you cherish, it's just a cold decoration, although Brother Xuanmo is simple here, but with a virtuous wife like sister-in-law, it is better than any royal palace temple. Ning Chen said with emotion on his face.

Xuan Mo listened to the former's words, and his expression was slightly surprised, these words were not like what the imperial power could say.

It seems that he still knows too little about the disciple of the Nine Shadows King.

"Your Highness, please please inside. Xuan Mo said.

Ning Chen nodded and walked towards the house.

The simple house, without any luxurious decorations, is no different from ordinary people, and it is impossible to tell that this is the home of a forbidden army commander.

The woman entered the house with hot tea, poured it for the two of them, and said softly, "There is no very good tea at home, I hope His Highness Thirteen will not dislike it." ”

Ning Chen took the tea with both hands and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you really don't have to be so polite, my status as a prince is a fluke, it's not worth mentioning." ”

On the side, Xuan Mo placed the heavy armor he had removed on the table not far away, and then walked back to the tea table and said, "Your Highness should have been busy receiving the dignitaries of the royal family these days, and it stands to reason that there should be no time to leave the mansion." ”

"I've been drinking tribute tea for several days, and I'm tired of it, so I came out to find Brother Xuanmo to drink some wine. Ning Chen said with a smile.

Xuan Mo was silent and said, "Your Highness, just in front of many soldiers, the last general didn't say much, now it's just the two of us, I will no longer hide it, if His Royal Highness comes here to win over the last general, His Royal Highness may have to run in vain, the royal family fights, I have no interest, and I don't want to get caught in it." ”

Hearing this, Ning Chen smiled lightly and said, "Brother Xuanmo, do you know how many times I have said these words in so many days?"

Xuan Mo heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, what do you mean?

"What does Brother Xuanmo think, what is my master's status in the Heavenly Demon Imperial Family?" Ning Chen asked with a smile.

"Although the royal family has repeatedly hindered it, the strength shown by the Nine Shadow King's two attacks is enough to deter the entire Heavenly Demon Imperial Family, except for the three Demon Emperors, the majesty and status of the Nine Demon Kings are now unmatched. Xuanmo said truthfully.

"As a disciple of the Nine Shadows King, what does Brother Xuanmo think about my status?" Ning Chen continued to ask.

"In addition to the three princes, His Royal Highness should be the head of all princes and princesses. Xuan Mo replied.

Ning Chen listened to the former's answer, picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, and said, "I am not a descendant of the royal family, the position of the Demon Emperor is absolutely impossible for me to inherit, and my master's position is enough to protect my safety in the entire Heavenly Demon Imperial Family, Brother Xuanmo thinks, do I still need to go around to win over supporters?"

Speaking of this, Ning Chen looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile, "If I am not in my position, I am not the third prince, I have to try my best to strengthen my power to win the opportunity to inherit the unification, I am not other princes and princesses, my status is insufficient, I must find a way to protect myself, I am just an outsider with a special status, it is meaningless to win over supporters." ”

Xuan Mo was silent, the words of His Highness Thirteen were indeed the case, did he think too much?

"Brother Xuanmo is in charge of the deployment of the forbidden army, and his identity is indeed sensitive, so it is normal to have this doubt, but Brother Xuanmo really thought about it this time, I came just to find someone to drink, that's all. Ning Chen said calmly.

Xuan Mo quietly listened to the former's words, stood up, bowed solemnly, and said, "Fang is the heart of the last general, and I hope Your Highness will not be surprised." ”

"Brother Xuanmo doesn't have to be polite, when I first entered the Imperial City before, I felt that Brother Xuanmo was a person worthy of deep friendship, so I came here today. These days, I have been facing the royal family and nobles, and I am really a little bored, and I come here just to get drunk. Ning Chen said softly.

Xuan Mo glanced at the two jars of wine on the table and said, "Your Highness, I am not used to drinking the wine you brought. ”

"Oh?"

Ning Chen was puzzled, "Could it be that Brother Xuanmo still has other good wines hidden here?"

"Men should drink marching wine!"

Xuan Mo said a word, his left hand was raised, and a strong suction force erupted, and suddenly, not far from the bottom of the table, the wooden grid opened, and a jar of mud-sealed spirits appeared, and the rich smell of wine came to his face.

Seeing the more than a dozen jars of spirits under the table, Ning Chen's face gradually showed a smile and said, "Take two jars of water and wine in exchange for so many good marching wines, this trip is worth it!"

In front of the house, the woman saw this scene and silently retreated, without disturbing the two.
