Xun Guangyan was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, standing not far from the corridor, bowing in the direction of the cloth-clothed young man, his immature face still pretending to be old, and the sound of worship came from his mouth.

Everyone was surprised, no one expected that the young man in cloth was actually a prince, and he hurriedly paid homage to him.

The smile of the three princes is as warm as Fang Cai, so that everyone is exempt from courtesy.

Xun Guangyan approached, and the third prince looked at Xun Guangyan with some interest: "You and I should have never seen each other, how did you know my identity?"

Xun Guangyan replied respectfully: "When I was five years old, I left Yin'an with my father and passed through the city gate, I was fortunate enough to read the notice issued by His Royal Highness to seek a centrifugal grass, and the words revealed your heartfelt love for flowers and plants. Speaking of this, Xun Guangyan glanced at a thick pillar not far from the corridor, and said, "I just happened to see Xu Gongzi here, so I guessed your identity." ”

After Xun Guangyan said this, a person came out of the thick pillar, and Ah Tao recognized that this person was actually the red-clothed ghost deterrent master who led the organization of the ghost deterrent master Bu to try to attack and react the most quickly in the Xun Mansion and the Lu Ceremony before.

The third prince said with a smile: "I have always heard that there is a prodigy in the Xun family, who has been gifted since he was a child, and has the ability to never forget anything. ”

Xun Guangyan had only seen Xu Fengyang, the personal guard of the three princes, once in Xun Mansion, and then with the three princes coming out of the bushes, he could deduce the identity of the three princes, who was extraordinary and worthy of the name of a prodigy.

Xun Guangyan listened to the words of the third prince, he couldn't help but be stunned, and a flush suspected of shyness appeared on his face in an instant, he immediately straightened his back more and more, and replied in a childish voice that was still in the voice change period: "The Third Highness has praised falsely, if you say that you will never forget, and the ability to recognize people, the Third Highness is even more at the bottom." ”

The three princes, who have never met Xun Guangyan, can guess his identity just by talking to Xun Guangyan, and Xun Guangyan's praise of the three princes is indeed not exaggerated.

There are several princes in the saint today, but the only one who is noble and the most favored is the eldest prince born by the queen, and the other princes either have a low status of their biological mother or their own mediocre qualifications are not favored by the emperor, and the third prince Qixiu in front of him is one of the latter.

After all, since Ah Tao entered this Yin'an, he had never heard anyone mention the third prince in front of him.

The guard Xu Fengyang walked up to the three princes, presented the wet wipes that had been prepared for the three princes to clean their hands, and then followed the side behind the three princes.

The surprise of the noble son in the red brocade robe for Fang Cai to learn the identity of the third prince at a glance has disappeared, although he is a prince, but in the end he is not favored, because he is reckless words and deeds of his own talent, and he does not think so.

They are a side branch of the Sheng family, and they are attached to the most favored prince.

So when Xun Guangyan deliberately coughed softly and prompted him to apologize to the third prince, the noble son in the red brocade robe directly pretended not to see it and completely ignored the past.

Xun Guangyan was helpless, and was about to step forward to remind him further, but he saw that the third prince had already taken the first step, bypassed the noble son in the red brocade robe, and walked to Ah Dao.

The third prince looked at Ah Dao, the corners of his mouth hooked up a warm and warm smile, and asked, "You are the sacrifice that Yu Gongzi recently received, what is your name?"

Ah Tao was stunned for a moment, leaned over and replied respectfully: "The slave is called Ah Dao." ”

"Ah Dao......" The third prince repeated the name in his mouth and continued to ask, "Why is it called this name?"

Ah Tao was stunned again.

This is the first time someone has asked this question since she came to Yin'an.

Ah Tao couldn't help but slowly raise his head and looked at the third prince seriously.

The eyebrows and eyes of the three princes are delicate and elegant, compared to Xiangyu's eyes, which always seem to be out of reach through a layer of smoke, the eyes of the three princes are completely different.

In the darkness that is so clear that you can see the bottom, there is a faint sense of peace, like a trickling stream, slowly flowing through Ah Dao's heart.

Ah Tao can even see his little self from the inside.

Ah Tao couldn't help but blurt out: "The slave is in the rice field...... It's a newborn, so the slave named himself Adao, but ......"

Ah Dao's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "The slave is trying to get the name of the child. ”

When Ah Tao said this, his eyes were unusually clear, and his fawn-like eyes were bright and vibrant, and for a while he almost completely covered the mediocrity on his face, and glowed with a dazzling vision.

Everyone present was stunned.

After a while, the third prince came back to his senses, and he smiled lightly: "That's very good." ”

A conflict that was originally on the verge of breaking out was naturally resolved because of the sudden addition of the three princes.

Not long after the third prince left, a guard arrived, and it turned out that Lord Luan had learned that Yin Heng and Ah Tao had come to the ghost courtyard to look for him, and specially sent someone to pick up the two to meet him.

Yin Heng and Ah Tao said goodbye to Qiu Yunruo and Xun Guangyan one by one.

Ah Tao noticed sharply that when Yin Heng and Qiu Yunruo said goodbye, a trace of blush appeared at the base of his ear.

Ah Tao was very puzzled, and suddenly asked Yin Heng: "Second son Yin, why are the roots of your ears suddenly red?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yin Heng's face, the roots of his ears became more and more red, and he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

And when Ah Tao and Yin Heng passed in front of Qiu Yunruo, Ah Tao was surprised to find that Qiu Yunruo's ears were also red.

Can this ear root redness still be contagious?

Ah Tao became more and more confused.

She didn't notice at all that Xun Guangyan, who was standing on the side, was staring at her at this time, with a thoughtful look on his face.

There was silence all around, and there was only a sound of unhurried footsteps.

Yin Heng and Ah Tao followed side by side behind the guards, and were heading to Lord Luan's location, the library of the Ghost Courtyard.

Only then did Ah Tao have the opportunity to ask Yin Heng about the doubts about some of the things he had just heard: "Second Prince Yin, why do they call the Yin clan a childish clan?"

Yin Heng was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ah Tao to ask him this question so bluntly, for ordinary people, shouldn't they all avoid talking about it.

But when he thought of Qiu Yunruo saying something that was unspeakable to others as a matter of course, the corners of his mouth curved a faint arc.

Looking at Ah Tao again, I saw that her face was simple, her eyes were full of curiosity and incomprehension, she didn't realize the abruptness of her question, and her attitude was full of openness.

That's it.

There's a group of people, isn't that what they are?

Yin Heng smiled with relief: "If you want to talk about the origin of this childish clan, you have to start from the book of the hundred clans." ”

"There are many clans in Yin'an, all clans are proud to be in the book of hundreds of clans, and some clans have even struggled for this for generations. ”

Ah Tao was puzzled: "What is the book of the hundred clans?"

"It is a small book that registers the top 100 clans in the Yin arrangement, and the hundred clan books take the size of the clan, the time of establishment, prestige, etc. as the consideration criteria, and rank the major clans, which are controlled by the emperor of each dynasty and each generation, and only the emperor has the right to modify the change of the old and new clans in the hundred clan books. ”

"Only clans that are on the Hundred Clans Book will be considered orthodox clans, and those that have not been able to reach the Hundred Clans Book will be considered unpopular clans, and they cannot even be commensurate with clans. ”

"The clan that ranks first in the book of 100 clans is the Xiang clan. ”

Ah Tao suddenly realized: "I understand! These clans that are on the book of hundreds of clans, or who have not been on the book of hundreds of clans, are actually equivalent to wives and concubines in the human world, one is justified and the other is nameless and has no point. ”

Yin Heng's face was black, what kind of metaphor is this, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.

Ah Tao asked again, "Then what if the name of a certain clan is crossed out from the book of hundred clans?"

"Extermination. ”

"A clan that is removed from the book of hundreds of clans is counted as an extermination. ”
