The second prince glanced at Chen Xiao meaningfully, smiled and said:

"That's right, they're wrong! This king doesn't want to have any contradictions with Lord Chen! ”

Chen Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is like this, on the contrary, it makes me a little uneasy!" ”

"Hehe, this king is not your enemy, why are you still uneasy? This? Why? ”

The second prince looked at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao has always been very calm, saying:

"Sometimes, enemies are easier to get along with than friends!"

The second prince was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Xiao deeply, and then said:

"You are indeed a smart man. But sometimes, you have to choose between your friends and your enemies.

At present, this king does not plan to choose you as an enemy, but you still do not plan to be friends with me? ”

Chen Xiao smiled and said nothing, and walked a few steps before saying:

"I heard, the eldest prince, you're coming back soon!"

The second prince frowned: "So, do you choose to be friends with him, or do you choose to be friends with me?" ”

"The eldest prince may not be, he will be friends with me...... Chen Xiao said.

"No, he would! You're young, you're already a soldier, and you still have a huge track record. He can be literate and good at being an official.

For people like you, only idiots like the third and fifth will think about offending. The second prince said.

Chen Xiao smiled: "In this way, the second prince thinks that he and the eldest prince are not stupid!" ”

"At least, not that stupid!"

Chen Xiao said: "I don't want to choose! ”

"Oh?" The second prince stared at Chen Xiao!

"That's a matter between you and the eldest prince, I don't like to vassalize others." Chen Xiao said.

"But do you have a choice? Between me and the boss, you always have to make a choice, otherwise, in the future, no matter who two of us get to which position, I'm afraid, you won't have a good time! ”

The words of the second prince vaguely carried a threat.

I want Chen Xiao to have no way out!

Chen Xiao smiled, quickened his pace to leave, and spoke:

"Again, sometimes, it's better to be an enemy than to be a friend. I, Chen Xuan, am not afraid of having two enemies! ”

With that, he left and went to the Nine Heavens Temple!

The second prince's face turned gloomy.

He looked at Chen Xiao's back and said lightly:

"Neither? Do you think it's that simple? Entered this court bureau, entered the royal family, this troubled water, don't you want to go? Hmph, impossible! ”

After saying that, he walked to the harem!

Harem, Star Picking Pavilion, in the attic where Concubine Hui is located!

After the second prince saw his mother, he sat down and chatted with Concubine Hui.

After a while, the second prince asked Concubine Hui:

"Mother, are you familiar with Chen Xiao?"

"Well, this man is extraordinary. Wen can be compared to a saint, and Wu can calm the world. For the government and the people, for the benefit of one party. If you enter the dynasty as a politician, you can also govern the world! ”

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she looked at her son.

The second prince gasped: "This person is really so powerful......"

"Emperor, this person is very smart, as long as it is what he wants to do, there is nothing he can't do. It's even more mysterious, all kinds of strange things, you can also get out, it's really a genius in the world! ”

asked Concubine Hui to praise her like this again, and the second prince's face became even more ugly!

"Such talents...... Help me take the throne! The second prince spoke.

Concubine Hui said: "Emperor, find a way, win over!" ”

"Mother, it's not easy, I have hinted at him before, but he has a firm attitude, it seems that he has no intention of wanting to participate in the matter of winning the heir!"

The second prince frowned and said, and after finishing speaking, he said in a cold voice:

"If such people are not of use to me...... Must be removed! ”

"Huang'er, think twice, this person is extremely difficult to deal with!" Hui Fei reminds!

"Don't worry, my mother concubine, I have been in various places for disaster relief, and I have met countless officials, including officials inside and outside the court, and I have connections. If he doesn't know how to deal with him, he can only be killed! ”

What the second prince said was confident.

Concubine Hui didn't say much, she also believed in her son.

On the other side, after Chen Xiao entered the Nine Heavens Palace, he also told Long Jiuling what had just happened.

Long Jiuling also said curiously to Chen Xiao: "You, don't choose either?" ”

"Anyway, I don't like these two princes, so I don't choose them." Chen Xiao said.

Long Jiuling said: "I heard that the eldest brother is also coming back soon." These two people are the strength to win the heir.

One is to win over the civil servants, the other is to get the support of the military generals, you are so powerful, the civil and military can eat well, they will definitely rob you!

And if you don't choose both, I'm afraid you'll ...... It's hard to be a person on both sides, and if you don't do it, they'll all deal with you! ”

"Against me? Hehe, girl, don't worry, I'm not afraid. Which of them is the emperor has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to care. ”

Chen Xiao didn't think that these two people could do anything to him.

He didn't want to get involved in the royal family's struggle for the throne.

However, if these two princes insist on pulling him in, then he will let these two people not be able to do it!

It's not that Chen Xiao wants to be it, he doesn't have this idea.

Next, the two no longer talked about this topic, but talked about something else.

Time flickered, and it was evening.

In the palace, the Heart Nourishing Palace, set up a small dinner.

The emperor asked more than a dozen concubines in the harem, and the princes and princesses to participate.

The Queen Mother also came, and Chen Xiao was also there.

When the old queen mother saw Chen Xiao, she first came over with a smile and praised Chen Xiao a few words.

Tonight, although it is to catch the wind and wash the dust for the second prince!

However, in the eyes of the old queen mother, the second prince's contribution to managing disasters in various places is far inferior to Chen Xiao!

Therefore, the old lady's praise was also very fast, making Chen Xiao the protagonist all of a sudden.

The second prince's face was unnatural and he looked a little embarrassed.

The emperor also looked at Chen Xiao with a smile and said, "Chen Xiao has indeed made a great contribution this time, just now, the officials I sent have taken over a city in the Southern Xinjiang Country. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Chen Xiao and immediately congratulated the emperor.

After all, there are more regions in the Dragon Kingdom!

"Of course, this time, the second child also has a credit for managing the disasters in various places!" The Emperor spoke again!

The second prince, who was reduced to a supporting role, got up and said embarrassedly:

"Thank you father, share your worries for your father, and do things for the people, it's all right!"

"Well, okay...... Let's eat it all! The Emperor spoke.

After eating a few bites of food, he looked at Chen Xiao:

"Chen Xiao, speaking of food, it seems that you cook well!"

"Father, what Chen Xiao made is delicious!" Long Jiuling immediately spoke.

The emperor smiled: "Chen Xiao, my Jiu'er is so respected, I really want to try your cooking skills when I am free." ”

"Okay, anytime!"

Chen Xiao said.

At this time, the second prince suddenly spoke:

"Father, my son and son have been away during this time, but they have also learned some local cuisine practices, and they also want to come back and cook for their father, so that their father can often eat food from all over the world.

Since my father mentioned food today, Lord Chen will too, why don't you make a few tonight, Lord Chen and I will each make a few for you to taste and tasting? ”

"Oh? Hahaha, okay, Chen Xiao, what do you think? The emperor looked at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao sneered in his heart, thinking, these two princes, don't you think that the food is better than mine, so it looks awesome? Too naïve, right?
