Chapter XXXVIII
On this day, he was practicing as usual in the afternoon, but Hao Jichen had been absent-minded. He was thinking about one thing, one thing that could be used as an excuse to refuse the invitation of the Eighth Prince.
Niu Fourteen said: "Childe is thinking about the invitation?"
Hao Jichen nodded, "Alas, I really don't want to go to that kind of banquet." ”
When I thought of the son of some minister who didn't know what to meet next, I had to be careful when communicating with these people. If you are not careful, you will offend people. If you offend, you will be offended, anyway, the status of those people is not as high as that of his concubine.
Hao Jichen didn't want to offend people at all, but sometimes, as soon as others said ugly things, he would say back. People have read the book, pointing out that Sang scolded Huai and said that he was good, and he went back directly to his face. People won't pay attention to what the man said, they only know that he Hao Jichen is very rude, and he doesn't have the cultivation of a son of a family at all.
Hu Ajiu said: "Childe, don't think about it so much, you have already rejected it twice before." This invitation is from His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, and the invitation from the royal family. The so-called matter is only three, if the prince refuses to attend again, it will really not take the royal family in his eyes and despise the royal family. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the lord to explain in front of the emperor. ”
Hao Jichen didn't know it, it was all because of this black spiritual method, which made many people very interested. The Eighth Prince is also yes, he is fifteen years old, what is the matter with inviting a ten-year-old child to a banquet?
Niu Shishi said: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince has caught a 'Shark Spirit', and he is also the princess of the Shark Spirit clan. This banquet is also to show this 'Princess Shark Spirit'. Legend has it that the tears of the royal family of this mermaid will turn into pearls. I don't know if it's true or not, this time His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince summoned the famous princes of the family in Yan'an City to attend. The minion felt that it was very likely to be true. ”
Hao Jichen saw that Niu Shishi's eyes did not have the slightest sympathy for the mermaid spirit who was the same beast spirit as him.
Hao Jichen didn't blame him for being cold-blooded, in the eyes of their beast spirits, if they wanted to live, they had to cater to the natural spirits, because the natural spirits were their masters. Over time, even the beast spirit will naturally regard the beast spirit as a slave.
The so-called Shark Spirit, like the Beast Spirit, the Shark Spirit Achieves the Spiritual Power of the Ocean and can become a fish in the ocean.
There is not much written about the Shark Spirit in the book. Shark spirits live on islands overseas, but there is also a theory that they live at the bottom of the sea. After all, the mermaids are also human, how can they live at the bottom of the sea? Therefore, Hao Jichen prefers that they live on an overseas island rather than the bottom of the sea.
It is recorded in the book that there is no strife on the overseas islands, and the people of the Shark Spirit clan live a life without quarrels. Moreover, there are many rare treasures on overseas islands, and if you can find a place where the mermaid lives, you will definitely be able to obtain a large number of treasures.
Among all the Shark Spirits, there is a very peculiar Shark Spirit. This mermaid can only take the form of a half-human, half-fish. You can't turn into a ferocious fish. Like ordinary people, other Shark Spirit Spirits do not awaken until the age of five, but this unique Shark Spirit is born with spiritual power and blue eyes like the sea.
The spirit is stronger than other shark spirits, so this kind of shark spirit is embraced as a royal family and leads the shark spirit clan.
The sea is much larger than the land, and I can't imagine that the Eight Emperors can actually capture the royal family among the mermaids.
Hao Jichen didn't know much about the eight princes, and it was only after he sent someone to send an invitation that Hao Jichen went out of his way to understand this person. The eighth prince is the younger brother of the sixth prince, fifteen years old this year, and the appearance of the eighth prince is very similar to the sixth prince, and it is precisely because of this that the eighth prince is deeply loved by the emperor, and this love comes from his imperial brother the sixth prince.
The sixth prince was born to the emperor's favorite concubine, and he was deeply loved by the emperor since he was a child. Moreover, the six princes are still the smartest and most courageous princes among the princes. Five years earlier, the Qiyang Dynasty had been defeated by the Nanzi Dynasty. In addition to ceding the land of the city, the Nanzi Dynasty also had to take the twelve-year-old Sixth Prince as a hostage.
Since then, the Qiyang Dynasty, which originally dominated the world, has since divided the world with the Nanzi Dynasty, but this was five years ago. Due to the war five years ago, the vitality of the Qiyang Dynasty was greatly damaged, and the barbarians of the Western Regions invaded from time to time. At this point, the Nanzi Dynasty was in the south, but it was protected from the plunder of the barbarians in the Western Regions.
Since there is no way to avoid it, Hao Jichen feels much more relaxed, and he doesn't have to find excuses to refuse. If only a few months ago, he could have used the loss of soul as an excuse. Now that a few months have passed, it is obvious that it is useless to use the trick of losing souls.
On the day of the banquet, Hao Jichen was dressed in an off-white dress, which was made for today's banquet. Looking at his little figure in the mirror, Hao Jichen sighed and thought, "It's only ten years old, and I'm going to a banquet." I hadn't been to any banquets when I was fifteen years old, let alone banquets, even simple birthday parties, and there was no such thing. ”
Seeing this, Hu Ajiu asked, "Childe, what's wrong with you?" But I'm worried that His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince will embarrass you at the banquet?"
Hao Jichen shook his head, "No, my father is a general and the right prime minister, and the eighth prince will not embarrass me casually." But they want to see my spiritual method, which makes me a little worried. I don't want anyone to know that my spiritual method is passive. ”
With his current identity and status, if he let others know that his spiritual method appeared passively, and he still has no spiritual power at all. At that time, there will be many people like Hao Jifeng, and of course, Hao Jifeng. They will definitely find an opportunity to ridicule themselves, make things difficult for themselves, and even somewhere, take a few people and beat themselves up without any spiritual magic.
Hao Jichen can understand them, once he was also standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the people standing on the top of the mountain. The people standing on the top of the mountain are full of spirit, loved by the teachers, and admired by the students.
The tiger is the king of the forest, but when the tiger falls to the land of Pingyang, it will also be bullied by dogs. Hao Jichen understands this truth.
Hu Ajiu thought for a while and said, "Childe, if His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince wants to see your spiritual method, you will randomly point someone out to compete with you." At this banquet, Qin Sanye, as a sister-in-law, will definitely appear, and when the time comes, invite Qin Sanye to come out and have a try, and no one will know that Gongzi's spiritual method is passive. And the fact that the childe's spiritual method is passive, except for the third son. No one outside knows yet. ”
Regarding this, Hao Jichen is grateful to Hao Jifeng. After all, they are brothers, how can the ugliness of the family be publicized. Hearing that there was a competition in the palace, Hao Jichen was puzzled: "That Eighth Prince, can you compete at his banquet at will?
Hu Ajiu didn't expect Hao Jichen to even know this, the people of this royal family thought that they were heavenly people, and regarded mortal people as their slaves. Some royal children are looking for fun on weekdays, and one of them is to watch people fight. Some of the cruel princes even let only one of these fighting people survive. Not only the prince, but also the current emperor, at the banquet, will also make people compete and have fun. It's just that this is much more elegant than the test, and it stops at the point and doesn't hurt your life.
"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince still wishes that Gongzi would compete with others at the banquet, after all, Gongzi is a genius who shocked the Qiyang Dynasty, and I don't know how many people want to see Gongzi's competition. ”
Hao Jichen thought about it, and it was indeed such a truth. Qin Lian will be present at that time, if it is a competition, just order Qin Lian directly. Anyway, Qin Lian knew that he couldn't beat himself, and of course, he couldn't beat Qin Lian. In fact, if it was based on the spirit method, Hao Jichen would not be able to win against anyone now. It's Niu Fourteen, and Hao Jichen can't hurt it in the slightest.
Niu Shishi wanted to come along, but Hu Ajiu felt that it was inappropriate, "No prince has ever invited a prince to enter the palace before, after all, the prince is still young." Fourteen has never seen the big scene of the palace, and now the son has lost his soul again, and the prince doesn't know much about all the things in the palace. ”
The implication of Hu Ajiu's words is that Niu Fourteen's mind is not very bright, and if he encounters any emergency, he will not know how to deal with it.
Hu Ajiu said again: "Previously, the prince fought for the fourteenth and third princes, and this matter is known to everyone in Yan'an City. The minions were afraid that Fourteen would be present at that time, and those powerful children didn't know what to think. So the minion thinks it's better not to take Fourteen this time. ”
Niu Shishi looked at Hao Jichen for help, he really wanted to go to the palace this time. Hao Jichen felt that what Hu Ajiu said was right, those powerful children were five or six years older than him, who knew what crooked thoughts they would make. Moreover, at this banquet, the eighth prince only invited himself, and the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother were not invited.
Needless to say, the eldest brother got married, but why didn't the second and third brothers invite? Moreover, the third brother is still a son-in-law. If you have a concubine who is not invited, you will only invite one concubine.
He hoped that the Eighth Prince would invite Hao Jifeng this time, he had known Hao Jifeng for so long, and it was the first time that he hoped that Hao Jifeng could go with him. It's a brother, and in front of outsiders, he will help himself to some extent, so he won't go against himself. However, Hao Jifeng is only twelve years old, and it is normal not to be invited.
