Chapter 442: The Art of Speaking
The noisy conversation in the hall on the top floor of the Songhe Tower came to an abrupt end as Qianguangyuan pushed the door in.
Xia Fan did not accompany Qian Guangyuan, this was the first time that Qian Guangyuan put himself under everyone's sight, so there should not be a second person to divert these anxious eyes from him.
Although he had never experienced anything like this before, the long-term royal education and Xia Fan's previous temporary training made Qian Guangyuan look very free and easy under the gaze of these eyes.
Smiling slightly at everyone in the hall, although it was just a simple gesture, it made everyone in the hall feel involuntarily, as if he was showing a kind smile to each of them.
Then Qian Guangyuan took a step, and walked unhurriedly towards a slightly protruding platform at the end of the hall.
With such a gesture, the other people in the hall finally confirmed Qian Guangyuan's identity!
It's just that this first meeting, Qianguangyuan really left a very deep impression on everyone!
It was only at this time that Xia Fan quietly walked in from inside the gate, and since everyone's eyes were on Qian Guangyuan's body, no one noticed Xia Fan's existence.
Qian Guangyuan had already walked to the platform, turned around calmly, looked at all the eyes in the hall focused on himself, and with a calm look without the slightest nervousness, he coughed lightly and said, "First of all, it seems that you should introduce yourself." My name is Qian Guangyuan, I am the sixth son of my father, although I am seventeen years old this year, but this is the first time I have met you, to be honest, I am very happy. ”
"I've seen the Sixth Highness!"
Everyone in the hall saluted respectfully, and at the same time bowed towards Qianguangyuan.
The etiquette of kneeling was not popular in the Daqian Dynasty, and even when officials met the emperor, at most they only needed to kneel on one knee on important occasions, and it was enough to bow and bow on weekdays.
So when facing the prince, it is naturally the same.
And Qian Guangyuan raised his hands and said that you don't need to be polite, and everyone in the hall straightened their waists when they heard the sound, and this not very grand etiquette was over.
"You are all pillars of the dynasty, and I am very happy to be able to take time out of my busy schedule to attend the birthday banquet of this king, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you."
Qian Guangyuan said, bowing his head again to everyone in the hall, and everyone in the hall hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, not daring to say anything.
Although it can only be regarded as a private gathering, there are too many people present, and there are not a few who are political enemies of each other.
In this case, no one wants to be caught by someone with a heart in etiquette, and when the time comes, it will not be a big problem, but it will be a worry after all.
What's more, Qianguangyuan claims to be the king, and the relationship between this monarch and the minister cannot be neglected at all.
The seven sons born to Emperor Daqian today, in addition to the eldest prince and the seventh prince, the other five princes were directly knighted when they were just one year old.
The reason why the seventh prince was not knighted was because the youngest prince died before the full moon, and he passed away before he could be rewarded.
As for the eldest prince, it is because he was born to a palace maid, and it is the result of the inexplicable impulse of the current Emperor Daqian after a drunkenness, so he has always been regarded by the Emperor Daqian as one of the few stains in his brilliant life, and it is naturally impossible to like this great prince very much.
Of course, tiger poison still doesn't eat children, no matter how much you don't like it, it is your own flesh and blood after all, and it is impossible for the current Emperor Daqian to owe it much, so the palace maid was still the lowest concubine after all, as for the eldest prince, although he is the only one among all the princes who has not been crowned king, he is also the only one who holds military power among all the princes.
Although it is still less than thirty years old, it has already shocked one side, controlling one of the seven border armies of the Daqian Dynasty, and guarding a territory alone.
And from the moment he was born, he avoided the competition for the throne, in the dark harem, because there was never the possibility of inheriting the throne, so he was loved by almost all the concubines since he was a child, and it was another kind of luck.
At least compared to other princes, the eldest prince's childhood was undoubtedly happier
"Today, I will take advantage of the venue of this pine crane tower to invite you, first, to celebrate your birthday. In the past, the king's birthday has been spent in the deep palace, in addition to the mother, only the father and the emperor accompanied, although warm, but somewhat deserted, so this year's birthday, the king wants to be lively. The second is also to take this opportunity to meet you. ”
Qian Guangyuan's gaze was a little divergent, although he was facing everyone in the entire hall alone, no matter his tone or gaze, everyone in the hall did not feel left out.
This is also the skill taught by Xia Fan, Qianguang is now learning and using it, which immediately makes these people in the hall have an inexplicable good impression of him.
"As you know, this king is different from his elder brothers, unlike his elder brothers, who often walk outside the palace when he is young. Compared to the freedom of his elder brothers, this king was asked by his father to live in the palace since he was a child, and he was always arranged to carry out various studies. To be honest, I was very incomprehensible and unhappy when I was a child. After all, children, who doesn't like to play around. Of course, this is also here to tell you, you must not sue my father, even if you do, I will never recognize it. ”
Qian Guangyuan blinked, and his tone was relaxed, which made everyone in the hall subconsciously let out a good-natured laugh.
In my heart, I have a little appreciation for the six princes who met for the first time.
No one noticed that Qian Guangyuan had naturally changed the title of 'this king' to 'I', which made the distance between words imperceptibly shortened a lot due to the change of title.
Of course, this is also a little skill taught by Xia Fan, but even Xia Fan didn't expect that Qian Guangyuan could use it so naturally and without traces.
"But later, as I grew older, I also understood my father's painstaking efforts, as a prince, carrying the world, naturally have to bear greater responsibilities. If you can learn more things when you are a child, you can be of more use to the entire dynasty in the future. My father raised me in the deep palace for 16 years, and taught me many well-educated Confucian scholars and martial arts outstanding people in the palace, so he naturally hoped that I would be able to contribute my own strength to the entire dynasty in the future. For the sake of the world and the community, what are the regrets of just sacrificing childlike fun? ”
It was as if he was just chatting with everyone in the hall.
Xia Fan couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart, he really didn't expect that Qianguangyuan, who has always been silent and introverted, once placed in front of the stage, could be so sharp, the children of the emperor's family, there is really no one to underestimate!
Sure enough, as Qian Guangyuan said this, everyone in the hall all looked pensive.
