Chapter 264: The Gathering of the Princes (I)

"Hong, the prince just sent someone to deliver this. In the middle of the meal, Mo Xiaoqiu walked in slowly, handed Ji Hong an invitation.

"Hehe, my big brother. After reading the content of the invitation post, Ji Hong smiled lightly. "Brother Zhang, you can go to the banquet with me tomorrow night!"

Although Ji Hongming said it to Zhang Jishan with a smile on his face, it can be seen from his look that he is very jealous of Ji Zhuofan. Then Zhang Jishan sent a voice and asked: "Brother Ji, it seems that Ji Zhuofan is not as simple as it seems!

"Hehe, that's good. How could there be no bad points in the huge royal family of the Ji family? It was even much more! But the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, let alone the royal family! If it hadn't happened before, there would have been no such thing as our brothers fighting for the throne!"

"Decades ago, my eldest brother took a fancy to a talented woman in the Qinglou, and the talented woman in the Qinglou didn't know that my eldest brother was the prince of the Yujing Dynasty at that time. When the two met that night, my eldest brother fell in love with the woman in the green building. Moreover, my eldest brother also begged my father, the emperor, to appoint the woman in the Qinglou as the crown princess. ”

Of course, the eldest brother's request was ultimately frustrated. Even if my eldest brother falls in love with a girl from a working family, my father will support him. But if a woman from a green building spreads out, then the face of the royal family will be completely lost! Then my father directly sent someone to cut off the eldest brother's thoughts. ”

However, although the eldest brother's mind is like a demon, his temperament is very stubborn. For this matter, the eldest brother vowed to sever the father-son relationship with his father. The father didn't say a word, and directly abolished the eldest brother's position as the crown prince and put him under house arrest. However, the father did this in order to let the eldest brother think about it. The status of the eldest brother in the eyes of the emperor is inferior to that of our younger brothers!"

However, because of the loss of his beloved, the eldest brother has been in a state of collapse since then, and the decadent state has continued to this day. Now, the eldest brother is reinvigorated, which is really frightening! I think it is because of this that those neutral civil and military officials will stand on his side!"

"So that's the case!" After hearing this, Zhang Jishan nodded lightly, he didn't expect that Ji Zhuofan to be so powerful. With this cheering up, thinking about it, the expectations in Ji Chang's heart for him will also be ignited again. In this battle for the throne, it is very likely that it will be on Ji Zhuofan's side.

At sunrise and sunset, in the back garden of an elegant annex in the imperial capital, a gentle young man sat on the main seat, sipping the tea in the cup with great interest.

Looking at the slowly rising moon, the charming but innocent woman beside the young man asked softly, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, did you say that the princes who were invited by you would come?"

"Huh. The corners of Ji Zhuofan's mouth curled, looking at the round, round and somewhat terrifying Moon Dao. "Yes, within half a cup of tea, my younger brothers will come one after another. ”

"Giggles. Looking at Ji Zhuofan's extremely confident smile, the charming but innocent woman covered her mouth and smiled.

In the past two months, Ji Zhuofan's image has become more and more enchanting in the eyes of that woman! No matter what this Ji Zhuofan does, it will come naturally, without the slightest difficulty. For some things, it is even more like God, what he says, that thing will develop according to what he says!

Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, a young man dressed in a green bamboo robe with blood like a dragon, accompanied by a young man dressed in a Xingyu robe and holding a star folding fan, slowly walked into the back garden of this annex.

"Hehe, eighth brother, you were the first to arrive, please take a seat. Looking at the eighth prince who already had a hint of wanting to ascend to the throne, the corners of Ji Zhuofan's mouth curled, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the first seat under his left hand.

"Hehe, the eldest brother laughed. I'm the eighth in line, and that position should be sat by the second brother. The corners of the Eighth Emperor's mouth curled, and he walked to the second position on Ji Zhuofan's right hand side. "Eighth brother, I'll just sit here. ”

"Huh. Ji Zhuofan smiled lightly, didn't say anything, and quietly tasted the fragrant tea in the cup.

Sitting down, the eighth prince savored the tea carefully, and at the same time secretly transmitted a message to the young man beside him who was holding a star folding fan: "Brother Luo Ling, it is really as you guessed. The woman sitting next to my eldest brother is eight points similar to my eldest brother's confidante back then!"

"Huh. Chu Luoling smiled.

A year ago, when he was sailing on the sea, he inadvertently saw a bewitching star approaching Ji Zhuofan's life star through divination of astrology, and Ji Zhuofan's life star actually shone more and more brightly. So Chu Luoling passed this information to the Eighth Prince and asked him to deal with it in time.

Otherwise, in the past two months, this Ji Zhuofan's momentum would have been even stronger.

Thinking back to this, the Eighth Prince admired Chu Luoling even more. It was really worth it when I bowed down to invite Chu Luoling three times!

After the eighth prince came to this small courtyard, the second prince, the third prince and the rest of the princes arrived one by one. When they saw the woman next to Ji Zhuofan, they were all surprised, and thought that Ji Zhuofan's confidante back then was not dead!

Looking at the expressions of those princes looking at themselves, the charming and innocent woman was a little puzzled for a while. But he didn't ask Ji Zhuofan too much, but took out a peach-colored veil to cover his face.

It was also when this charming and innocent woman covered her face with a veil, Ji Hong and Zhang Jishan walked side by side into this back garden.

When he saw Chu Luoling, who was sitting side by side with the Eighth Prince, but with the wrong shoulder, the corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled and nodded gently.

Similarly, the corners of Chu Luoling's mouth were also smiling, and he nodded lightly, feeling a sense of sympathy.

"Eh~" Seeing this, the Eighth Prince was very surprised, he had never seen Chu Luoling smile like this to others. Then he asked very curiously. "Brother Luo Ling, who is the young man next to the thirteenth brother?"

"Hehe, it's my confidant and friend I met at sea. Chu Luoling took a sip of tea and said with a smile. "Eighth Prince, in the battle for the throne in three days, in addition to being careful of Ji Zhuofan, you must also be doubly careful of the Thirteenth Prince, to be precise, be careful of the people around him!"

"Oh?" After hearing Chu Luoling's solemn transmission, the Eighth Prince was a little surprised. It was the first time he had heard that Chu Luoling had given such a high evaluation to his peers. It's his big brother with a mind like a demon, Chu Luoling has never commented like this!

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was very surprised for a while, Chu Luoling then said: "Remember the emergency transmission I gave you two months ago, the reason why the plan was changed because of his appearance. His presence disturbed all my previous predictions!"

"Ah, Brother Luo Ling, didn't you observe this accident in your astrological divination?" Hearing this, the Eighth Prince was even more shocked. He knew Chu Luoling's astrological ability, and nothing could escape his divination!

"Huh. Chu Luoling smiled bitterly and said. "Everything has limitations, because my realm is limited, so I can only divinate things within my ability, Zhang Jishan's astrological signs, for me is a mystery, he seems to appear out of thin air. ”

"This~" The Eighth Prince hesitated for a while. "Will he affect me?"

"The impact will definitely be affected, but I am confident that I will be able to take the lead in the confrontation with him!"

"Hehe, then, then I'll rest assured!" Although the eighth prince replied with a smile, his heart was stunned for a while. Even Chu Luoling didn't have the confidence to handle it, that was enough to affect the entire situation! I hope that Chu Luoling can solve this trouble.

"Hehe, what's wrong?" Looking at his side, the woman's figure shook because she saw Ji Hong and the two coming, Ji Zhuofan asked with a smile.

The corners of the charming and innocent woman's mouth curled, her mood calmed down, and she slowly said, "Hehe, I met an old man." Now that I think about it, he did say that he was going to come to the Imperial Palace! ”

"Hehe, it looks like that kid is not simple. Hearing this, Ji Zhuofan knew that the charming and enchanting woman was referring to Zhang Jishan. did not get to the bottom of it and asked what hatred the charming and innocent woman had with Zhang Jishan, but glanced at Chu Luoling and said with a smile. "Hehe, the person who can make Chu Luoling pay great attention to it, my thirteenth brother has got a strong helper!"

"Giggles, two tigers must be injured when they fight, no matter how the two of them fight, the final winner is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after all. ”

"Huh. The corners of Ji Zhuofan's mouth curled up and smiled, it seemed that he was completely sure that he was on the throne!

Looking at the half-brothers below who were thinking about each other, Ji Zhuofan gently picked up the glass cup on the jade table, and said with a gentle smile: "Hehe, okay, the younger brothers are quiet." I didn't invite you here today for anything, but to let everyone get acquainted with each other. In my impression, more than 100 years have passed since we thirteen brothers got together like this!"

"Yes, since the last time our thirteen brothers got together, more than a hundred years have passed unconsciously, and time flies so fast!"

And two of the princes deliberately congratulated.

"Congratulations to Big Brother for getting back on his feet. ”

"Three days later, there will be a battle for the throne, I really want to see my eldest brother show his might soon!"

On the surface, it is a compliment, but in fact, it is saying, you are a person who has been decadent for decades, can you compete for the four people with the most momentum today?

However, Ji Zhuofan's expression did not change in the slightest, and he raised his glass and smiled gently: "Hehe, thank you for your concern." Come and drink, we brothers won't get drunk tonight!"

"Oh, yes!

After three rounds of drinking, the second prince gestured to the seventh prince opposite him with his eyes.

Seeing this, the corners of the Seventh Prince's mouth curled, he slowly stood up, raised the jade cup in the cup and said with a smile: "Hehe, I said big brother, we don't have any vocal music or anything in this party?
