Chapter 39: The Banquet
Hao Jichen said: "Hu Ajiu is right, fourteen, don't go this time, help me watch Qingfeng Courtyard." ”
Now that Hao Jichen has spoken, Niu Shishi is not easy to object. I only hope that I will have the opportunity to go to the palace with my son again in the future.
The eighth prince is now fifteen years old, and in another year he will be sixteen, and when he reaches adulthood, he can be crowned king and set up a house outside the palace as a palace. However, it is rumored that the emperor is likely to crown the eighth prince as the crown prince, so it is very likely that he will continue to live in the palace in the future.
Regarding these, Hao Jichen is not very interested, no matter who is the prince or who is the emperor, he doesn't care. Hao Jichen suddenly thought of the Six Princes, the most powerful prince among the many princes. Now that he is still in the Nanzi Dynasty, doesn't the emperor plan to save him? Hao Jichen shook his head, this is not something he should think about.
Entering the palace, Hao Jichen looked up and looked around, admiring again and again. The palace is extraordinary, with tall walls. Frightened by this tall palace wall, Hao Jichen felt very small. Hu Ajiu whispered behind him: "Childe, don't look around, Childe is the fourth son of a general, and you shouldn't look around like an ignorant child who has never seen the world." Please retract your admiration and look ahead. Childe remembered in his heart that although this palace was magnificent, in Childe's eyes, it was just a wall. If Childe thinks like this, he won't be curious to see it. ”
Hao Jichen secretly blamed himself in his heart, after so many months, he still couldn't learn the noble temperament of a rich and noble son. When I see something new, I am amazed, like a countryman who has never seen the world.
Hao Jichen listened to Hu Ajiu's words, raised his head and chest, looked straight ahead, and walked steadily, this is the demeanor that a general's son should have.
Seeing this long palace road, Hao Jichen rolled his eyes. He knew that such a long road was to show the dignity of the royal family. All the people in the world who come to meet the royal family have to walk such a long way to express their awe of the royal family in their hearts. Hao Jichen looked at the high walls on both sides, as if the two giants were warning them to be in awe of the royal family.
The residence of the Eighth Prince is called the East Office, but this East House is different from the residence of other princes. This is the residence that the emperor specially ordered people to build for the eighth prince, and the grandeur of this residence and the luxurious decoration are almost catching up with the emperor's bedroom.
In this respect, the eighth prince is somewhat similar to himself, and his father also built a kamikaze temple for himself. And the luxury of Kamikaze Temple is not comparable to even the eldest son.
When he came to the East Office, he looked at the powerful children in front of him, none of whom he knew. There were not many people who came, including the other princes, about eleven or twelve people.
When everyone saw Hao Jichen, they all smiled and greeted Hao Jichen, and Hao Jichen responded politely one by one. Who are they, Hao Jichen doesn't know, and Hu Ajiu doesn't know. He's a minion, where do you know so many people. Fortunately, not long after Hao Jichen entered the East Institute, Qin Lian ran over to greet him.
Hao Jichen said: "Third Brother Qin, you know that I have lost my soul, right? Of the many sons and brothers here, none of them are known to me. You help me introduce, introduce. ”
Qin Lian smiled and said, "I already knew this, I was afraid that Ah Chen, you wouldn't know who they were, so I came over early and waited for you." Don't worry, I will always be by your side, and when someone comes over, I will greet him first. When the time comes, you can just follow my example and greet them. ”
Hao Jichen arched his hand, "Thank you, Third Brother Qin." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome. ”
A person walked in front of him, smiling, and walked straight towards Hao Jichen. This person walks with the wind, quite imposing, and is dressed in fiery red clothes, Hao Jichen thinks that this person is the eighth prince.
I only heard Qin Lian bend down to say hello, and Hao Jichen also bent down.
"Qin Lian has seen the Seventh Highness. ”
"Hao Jichen has seen the Seventh Highness. ”
The Seventh Prince smiled heartily and said, "Today is just an ordinary banquet, so there is no need for such a lot of courtesy." Hao Jichen, I heard that you have lost your soul, are you okay now?"
Hao Jichen said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Seventh, I have nothing to do, but I have lost the memories of the past, as well as my Hao's Wind Spirit Method." Other than that, I'm fine. ”
"Hao Jichen, I heard that your new spiritual method is very strange, even if it has not even been recorded in the history books, it is very strange. Hao Jichen, how did you get this spiritual method?"
Hao Jichen shook his head, "I don't know why, my father is also looking for the reason." ”
The two of them asked and answered, and Qin Lian standing next to him was completely an ornament. Qin Lian didn't care about this, after all, it was Hao Jichen who was standing next to him, how could he steal the limelight with Hao Jichen. After the Seven Princes left, Qin Lian introduced the Seven Princes to Hao Jichen.
"Ah Chen, the seventh prince's name is Chi Yunhuan, and he is also fifteen years old this year, just a few months earlier than the eighth prince, and he is the son of Concubine Hui. Listen to my eldest brother, these seven princes are already able to go to court. However, the Seventh Prince was not allowed to give his opinion in the court, and he could only listen. ”
Hao Jichen was surprised, he was only fifteen years old and could start going to court, and he thought that he could start participating in state affairs when he became an adult. No wonder the feudal dynasties are all poor for the people, and it is ridiculous that a teenager can have any insight and participate in state affairs.
Hao Jichen saw Chao Langhui not far away, and Chao Langhui also saw himself, but his face was cold, obviously he didn't want to greet Hao Jichen. Hao Jichen decided not to go over, and he found that among all the people, except for the two little princes who were the same age as him, among the guests, there were only himself and Chao Langhui, two children.
Hao Jichen asked puzzledly: "Third Brother Qin, it stands to reason that Chao Langhui and I are just ten-year-old children, how could they invite us? If you talk about women, how can Chao Langhui and I understand?"
Hao Jichen thought to himself, he knew about the topic of women, after all, the network was so developed in another world. But Chao Langhui doesn't understand, in order to catch up with him, he must be practicing every day.
Qin Lian whispered: "I think it may be because you have obtained a new spiritual method, and I invited you here this time mainly to see this new spiritual method." Secondly, I personally believe that the eighth prince is the emperor's favorite prince, and it is very likely that he will be made the crown prince. If I have a good relationship with you now, let you speak for the Eighth Prince in front of the general, and let Chao Langhui speak for Prime Minister Zuo, it is very important for him to be able to get the support of these two important ministers in the court. ”
Hao Jichen's head hurt when he heard it, this Qin Lian is only fourteen years old, since he understands the affairs of the court so well. Sure enough, he is the son of a big official, and he naturally has opinions about the affairs of the court.
Hao Jichen asked: "Shouldn't the prince be the eldest son?"
Qin Lian was taken aback, and immediately raised his finger to silence Hao Jichen, "Ah Chen, this is not the occasion to talk about this, you want to know, I will find a chance to talk to you alone another day." ”
Hao Jichen was taken aback by Qin Lian's cautious appearance, and Hao Jichen secretly blamed himself for being too talkative. Why didn't he think about it more, and now he was in the residence of the eighth prince, but he asked why he didn't make the eldest son the crown prince first. If the Eighth Prince hears this, he will definitely offend the Eighth Prince.
Hao Jichen stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
After everyone is together, the Eight Emperors will make their debut, like the bright star that everyone has been looking forward to. Hao Jichen glanced at the Eighth Prince, Chi Yunzheng, and lamented in his heart, these Eight Princes gave people the same feeling as a high-flying and domineering disciple like Chao Langqing. Hao Jichen was big again, and he was most afraid of meeting such a person.
The Eighth Prince looked at the guests with a smile on his face, said a few polite words, and the maidservants successively brought delicacies and wine. Hao Jichen looked at the wine on the case, he didn't know if this wine was good or not, but the smell of this wine was extremely strong. It was very sick to the nose. Hao Jichen summoned the maidservant and asked her to take down the wine and bring the pot of tea.
Everyone chatted for a while, Hao Jichen just listened quietly, and he saw Chao Langhui looking at the delicacies on the table with an expressionless face. When everyone talked about the spiritual method, a person who Hao Jichen didn't know said: "I heard that the fourth prince of Hao suddenly got a new spiritual method, I don't know what this spiritual method is, I am very curious." ”
Someone chimed in, "yes, yes." It is said that this spiritual method is a black spiritual method, which has not been recorded even in the history books. In other words, this kind of spiritual method has never been seen in the world. ”
Someone wondered: "It's really strange that there are people in this world who have lost their original spiritual method and obtained another spiritual method." ”
It's not just unusual, it's simply unique.
Someone said: "I heard that Gongzi Hui's spiritual power has increased greatly recently, and he has reached the level of 'Heavenly Spirit Human Realm'. ”
Hao Jichen thought to himself, Chao Langhui's cultivation is so fast, I don't know if the study will be so fast. He didn't think it would be right, he used to be good at all aspects of sports, but when it came to studying, it was much worse. Therefore, people with high spiritual power may not be good at studying.
Immediately, Hao Jichen felt that what he was thinking was wrong. Once upon a time when he was in school, he had seen a lot of boys with good academic performance and good sports. Hao Jichen thought sadly, sports don't need to use their brains at all, they just need to have hands and feet.
"I don't know what level of spiritual power the fourth prince of Hao has reached now. ”
Hao Jichen looked at the person who spoke, he had no impression of seeing this person, and he didn't want to ask Qin Lian next to him.
