"My sixth brother is finally going to start standing in front of the stage."

Qian Guangyi held an invitation card in his hand, and as he spoke, he pinched one corner of the invitation with two fingers and put the invitation on the lamp stove in front of him.

The corner where the gilded invitation touched the lamp suddenly lit up, and although the flame was not large, it still burned slowly but firmly.

"Your Highness, you ...... Really not going to go? ”

A middle-aged man stood behind Qian Guangyi and asked.

"Why should I go? Let him demonstrate in front of me? ”

Brought the burning gilded invitation to his eyes, staring at the wisp of flame that gradually turned the bronzing invitation into black ash, but the tone of Qian Guangyi's voice was a little strange.

"But Your Highness...... What tonight's banquet is for, everyone knows. For the emperor, you should be humble and humble if you don't go tonight...... It is inevitable that some unfavorable words will reach Your Majesty's ears. On the contrary, if His Highness chooses to go over tonight, in the dinner where His Highness appears on this stage for the first time, he will cover the light of His Highness as much as possible, it will definitely be a beneficial and harmless thing for His Highness! ”

The middle-aged man said with an embarrassed face.

"Have you carefully studied Xia Fan?"

Watching the flames erode the entire bronzing invitation, Qian Guangyi clapped his hands and said with a little blank eyes.

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man didn't expect Qian Guangyi's thoughts to be so jumpy, and after being stunned for a moment, he bowed and said, "Back to Your Highness, I have read all the information about Xia Fan, this is ...... He was an amazing young man. In a way, I even suspect that in his body, which is not yet eighteen years old, there may be a soul who is already forty or fifty years old. Otherwise, I really can't imagine how a young man of this age can do things so ruthlessly. ”

"Since you have studied it carefully, you should know that although this Xia Fan has not been in the capital for a long time, everything he has done so far can be said to be planned and then moved, without complete certainty, he basically will not make a decision easily, do you know what this means?"

Qian Guangyi looked up at the middle-aged man, and without waiting for the middle-aged man to answer, he continued to take care of himself: "This means that since Xia Fan dares to let my sixth brother stand in front of the stage, it means that he has all plans, even if I go tonight, it will not be able to cover the limelight of my sixth brother, and will only become my sixth brother's foil, adding another firewood to his momentum tonight." ”

"This ...... Your Highness, although I also admire the wisdom and skill that Na Xia Fan has shown during this time, ...... We don't seem to need to think too much of him, do we? If you think too highly of him, you may make some wrong decisions because of misjudgment. In any case, it is still Your Highness that has an absolute advantage, and if we all start to be timid in this situation, then I am afraid that there will be a lot of negative effects on those who are attached to us......"

The middle-aged man carefully thought about his words, trying his best to explain his thoughts in sentences that would not anger Qianguangyi.

has been by Qianguangyi's side for so long, and he knows too well the pride and conceit hidden in Qianguangyi's bones.

Although this kind of emotion is not usually expressed, once Qian Guangyi thinks that he has been offended, then this emotion will make many things worse......

Strictly speaking, because of such emotions, the middle-aged man did not think that Qian Guangyi could compete with his father, and it was impossible to even get close.

But since there is no more suitable heir to the throne than Qian Guangyi in this dynasty, even if there are shortcomings and flaws, they are within the tolerable range.

Relatively speaking, the best is enough.

"Are you thinking too much? I'm just afraid...... Even so, he is still underestimated. ”

A hint of gloom appeared on Qian Guangyi's face, and he said hatefully: "I really knew this earlier, why bother in the first place, what was originally extremely safe, just because of Qian Mingyuan's idiot, it got to such a point." Speaking of which, I'm also at fault. After all, I feel that I am nine out of ten...... So it wasn't as careful as it used to be, and it turned out to be so much of a mistake. ”

"Your Highness, according to the feedback I have received from all sides, although the Shizi's side is a contradiction, in fact, the biggest problem between your Highness and that Xia Fan has nothing to do with the Shizi. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Xia Fan is very commendable in terms of the overall situation. What really separates you from him is the Xia family. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Qian Guangyi's face and continued: "As long as you always choose the Xia family, then there is no possibility of reconciliation with Xia Fan. Although the Xia family's long-standing parasitic strategy has ensured the strength and prosperity of the entire family for hundreds of years, it has also made the rift between the main family and the branch family so big that it is like a life-and-death feud, so ......"

"If I knew that this Xia Fan was so capable at the beginning, I would not hesitate to abandon the Xia family and choose to recruit him to my command. But now...... No way......"

Qian Guangyi shook his head very melancholy, and said with a wry smile: "This is another nonsense, don't say it's me, even if you are as wise and martial as my father, I'm afraid I never thought that the situation in the entire capital would change so drastically because of the appearance of one person......

"Your Highness, I still feel that, at least for now, we still have an absolute advantage, and in this case, we must show a tougher posture and give enough confidence to those who are attached to us."

The middle-aged man looked at Qian Guangyi's dejected appearance, and was very anxious in his heart, and continued: "Your Highness, you have always been the only candidate for the prince, which is an advantage, but in fact, it is also a disadvantage. Because our people are not used to fighting with the outside. All their energy is only focused on the internal competition for each other's interests. In this way, the birth of the Sixth Highness will inevitably make people's hearts unstable, and at this time, you are the backbone of everyone. Your attitude will greatly affect the faith of many, Your Highness! ”

"Needless to say! Anyway, I won't go over tonight! ”

Qian Guangyi shook his head very firmly and said, "In a sense, the Black Hand Organization is a more powerful existence than the entire dynasty!" Since Xia Fan has the shadow of a black hand behind him, we must be cautious about everything he does. It's better to miss than to make a mistake! Because I'm in the ascendancy now! Just don't make mistakes! That chair was meant to be mine! You have to understand this! ”

Listening to Qian Guangyi's unquestionable tone, the middle-aged man knew that Qian Guangyi's attention had been decided, and it was useless to say anything, so he had to sigh silently in his heart and say no more.
