"Oh, it doesn't matter. Maybe Hongu's rhetoric makes you feel scared, but you don't have to be afraid, Hongu is just very interested in your talents! My father and emperor value you very much, so this palace also likes you from the heart, if you can be used by me, then it will be a very good thing in the world. The Seventh Prince changed his tone and said very gently and subduedly.

Song Bibai is very intelligent, and he is not blind to the affairs of the court, how could he not know the power and prestige of the Seven Princes in the court! Besides, he knew too well what he meant in his heart.

"Oh, the student is here to thank His Highness for his kindness, but the student is afraid that he will not be able to serve His Highness well, so he does not dare to accept His Highness's kindness, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me more." Song Bibai continued to fight guerrilla warfare with him, and he didn't believe that he would continue to praise him.

People like this who are used to hearing flattery are naturally unwilling to accept unpleasant words when they hear them, and Song Bibai also feels that his rhetoric is difficult to listen to and euphemistic, and it is estimated that he will not be able to stand him.

The Seventh Prince was not in a hurry, so he said to Song Bibai: "It's okay, I heard that the autumn scenery in the mountain of your academy is very chic today, so you don't have to be too nervous when you go up the mountain to go around." It's good that you know about it, and if you're thinking about it, you can talk back to me, I'm not in a hurry. ”

"Yes." Song Bibai had no choice but to agree, and then the Seventh Prince seemed to be deliberate, and pulled Song Bibai to walk in the mountains again, and chatted for a while.

It was very late that the Seven Princes left the hill of the academy.

After the Seventh Prince left, Song Bibai also returned to the academy, and at night, Song Bibai, who was lying on the bed in the quiet dormitory, couldn't sleep for a long time with his eyes open.

Since being recruited by the Seventh Prince, his mind has become more and more chaotic, thinking of his future path, Song Bibai is a little impetuous, he thinks that Su Cimo can maintain the same front with him, impartially, not partial, not to help any party, and not to get involved in any competition for imperial power, but Su Cimo can't understand what he means.

On the second day, the academy was in class again as usual, and Song Bibai's mood changed a little, although he was still a little overwhelmed when he saw Su Cimo, but Su Cimo ignored him.

After class that day, Song Bibai walked to his bedroom as usual.

At this time, a man in military armor suddenly walked up from the side, and then said to Song Bibai: "You are Song Bibai, right!?" ”

Song Bibai nodded inexplicably, and the man continued: "Let's go, our prince is waiting for you at the inn at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Song Bibai originally wanted to refuse, but the man in military armor directly took out a waist card representing the prince. Thinking that the man was really sent by the crown prince, Song Bibai's face turned pale and he knew that this person was not something he could refuse casually.

Song Bibai put his schoolbag and pen and ink back into the dormitory, and then he followed the man in military armor and walked to the outside of the academy, where a carriage was parked.

The man in the military armor asked Song Bibai to get into the carriage, and then he drove the carriage down the mountain.

When I arrived at the inn at the foot of the mountain, it was a necessary place to enter and exit the capital, so the two inns built were quite prosperous, and the people and merchants who entered and exited the city often needed to settle down here.

The man in the military armor took Song Bibai into one of the inns, and as soon as he entered the inn, there was a small second person in the store who came forward to entertain Song Bibai and the others.

The man in the military armor said that he was here to find the prince, and the little second immediately turned happy, and said to Song Bibai: "Guest officer, please come here with me." ”

As soon as Song Bibai walked into the private room, he was flushed by the smell of cigarette smoke inside, which was a bit similar to Zen incense or other aromas.

Song Bibai raised his eyes and saw that His Royal Highness the Prince, dressed in pale yellow clothes, was sitting on the side of the table with pear wood quietly waiting for him to arrive, and his eyes were looking at him standing at the door very calmly at this moment.

"Song Bibai has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Wan'an." Song Bibai gave the prince a salute.

The prince nodded, a strange smile on his face.

"Come and sit down, don't stand there politely." The prince's slightly mature voice said.

Song Bibai was helpless, yesterday it was the Seventh Prince who went to the academy to talk to him, and today he is the Prince, I really don't know what these two mean.

So Song Bibai sat obediently in the square chair opposite the prince with nothing to do, he looked around, the decoration and furnishings of this room looked very elegant and noble, as if the prince was coming, so he deliberately cleaned it up like this.

At this time, the table in front of him and the prince was full of some chicken, duck and fish to eat, which seemed to be satisfying.

"Song Bibai, you definitely don't know, why did I summon you!?" The prince's somewhat old voice asked.

Song Bibai shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

The prince stretched out his hand to pick up the chopsticks that were resting on the rosewood shelf, and then said to Song Bibai: "Just got out of school, you must be very hungry, right?" Let's eat quickly, chatting and eating. ”

Song Bibai was a little helpless by the prince's sudden affinity, he really didn't know how to deal with such a thing.

Song Bibai just picked up the chopsticks schematically, but he didn't eat much, just secretly watched the prince eat two bites of stir-fried vegetables, and then said to Song Bibai: "I heard that my father summoned you a few days ago, you should understand why the emperor values you!?" ”

Song Bibai really doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in this prince's gourd? Why do you want to put this point with him, so he doesn't know how to answer.

"Oh, the students are studying hard in the academy, and I'm afraid the emperor also saw that the students were good at learning, so he specially praised and tested them." Song Bibai said with a slight embarrassment.

"Yes, there aren't many people my father can take seriously, you should know what he means. Now that the situation in the court is chaotic, if you enter the court as an official in the future, I believe you should know how to do it. The prince's somewhat hoarse voice said, and a pair of slightly swollen eyes looked at Song Bibai slightly.

"Prince, the student is a little confused about what you mean. Since the situation in the imperial court is chaotic, students should study well and be determined to serve the imperial court. Song Bibai continued.

The prince smiled and nodded, and then continued to say to Song Bibai: "You only know one thing now, but you don't know the other!" There are rules in the court, and the outside is the rules outside, and you are only studying from the academy now, I am afraid that you will not understand the rules of the court, so I want to teach you how to behave and do things! ”

As soon as Song Bibai heard the implication of his words, he instantly understood the purpose of this prince's trip, and it was estimated that it was not much different from the seven princes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please speak, the students are grateful." Song Bibai dropped his chopsticks and immediately knelt down on one knee at the table and gave him a bow.

Only in this way will the prince really treat him as a little boy who doesn't know what to do, let down his guard and tell him the purpose of his trip.

The crown prince smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "It's not a big deal, but now you should understand that if the situation between the DPRK and China is three points of pros and cons to the world, as the saying goes, everything is prosperous, since the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, then shouldn't you put an end to this situation?" ”

"Oh, the student doesn't understand, and please make it clear to the prince." Song Bibai said that he didn't know what kind of ecstasy the prince was going to sell to him.

When the prince heard this, he simply didn't continue to sell Guan Zi, but said directly: "Now my mother and queen in the court, and Concubine Yang, the mother of the seventh prince, are all emperor's concubines who have the emperor's heir and are in full bloom. Now that my mother's family is the orthodox family of the court, if someone wants to compete with me for the throne, what do you think, if so, what should you do!? ”

The prince said that Concubine Yang was implying that Song Bibai, the seven princes, is also one of the powerful candidates for the throne, and he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, he is afraid that if the emperor changes in the future, these seven princes will suddenly raise troops to force the palace, so no matter how stable he sits in the position of the prince, there will always be more hidden worries in the future, so it is better to recruit more appropriate people as his strongest backing, so it is much more reliable.

But this prince pushed the boat down the river and handed over the right to speak to Song Bibai, even if he had any insincerity, I am afraid that he would be shocked by the majesty of this prince and disperse in front of him.

Song Bibai immediately lowered his head, his face was a little embarrassed, but soon he realized what he had to say.

"When the prince said this, the students should naturally support the prince to keep the throne." Song Bibai said with a stiff face, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't intuitively see the expression on his face at this moment.

The prince seemed to hear his satisfactory reply, but he was very happy in his heart, he smiled and immediately said to Song Bibai: "Yes, this is what a courtier should do, not to do some unseemly things behind the back against the will of the royal family." You are the person that my father and emperor fancied, and this palace will naturally use you more and more in the future, but I hope you are smart enough to know who to help and who to destroy. Don't help those who dare not help, or I'm afraid this prince won't save your face. ”

The prince's voice was full of threat and majesty, Song Bibai's face immediately turned a little red when he heard it, he nodded and replied: "The prince's words, Song Bibai does not dare to disobey, and will never dare to have any unkindness, please rest assured." ”

The prince nodded with satisfaction, and then immediately said: "Hurry up, it will be just a courtesy of the monarch and ministers in the future, and you don't need to kneel down for me from time to time." ”
