Bei Juese glanced at the big tiger staring at him behind Meng Chao, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. He gently pulled the sleeve of King Lanan Mian and said, "Father, in fact, senior brother is one of the best masters in the Ming Dynasty, with him, there is no need to trouble others." ”

King Nanmian said: "Father also sees that Donggongzi is a person with unique skills, but, after all, this is Nanmian and not Daming, Donggongzi is not familiar with the situation here, if something really happens, it will be better to have someone who is familiar with the environment here." ”

Dong Wuyi, who had been beside him without speaking, opened his mouth and asked: "King Nanmian, before you officially give your junior brother the title of a prince, you have to arrange a master to protect it, could it be that it will be a very dangerous thing to be the prince of Nanmian Kingdom?" ”

King Nanmian didn't seem to be hiding anything, he smiled slightly, and said, "Dong Gongzi, your guess is right. Although Nanmian is only a small country that is not rich, the position of "Nanmian King" is still remembered. This king has only had one princess for many years, and although there was a precedent for the queen to rule in his country many years ago, there are many more examples of his brother inheriting the throne because his brother has no children. And this king has five brothers who each hold a certain amount of power. Brothers born of the same root should not be suspicious of each other and have some guesses, but power and ambition are powerful weapons that can erode people's hearts, and this king has to be cautious. Over the years, although the king has the intention to train the princess to become the next monarch, he has not set up the princess as the prince, so that the position of the prince has been vacant, so that those brothers with ulterior intentions can contain each other and check and balance each other. However, now that Wang Er has appeared, it can be said that there is no suspense about the future prince, and the previous situation of mutual checks and balances will definitely change. Although there may not be any danger, it is better to be careful before the foundation of Wang Er is stable. ”

Dong Wushu glanced at King Nanmian and said, "Since this is the case, then don't recognize your junior brother, don't disclose his identity, won't it save a lot of work?" ”

King Nanmian's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "No." This king has not taken care of Wang Er for many years, and he owes him enough, and now it is not easy for father and son to recognize each other, and this king can't even give him an official identity! ”

Bei Juese interjected and whispered: "Father, in fact, I don't mind the issue of identity. ”

King Nanmian said seriously: "You are the only son of your father, if your only son does not even have the status of a prince, your mother's spirit in heaven will look down on your father, and the people of the world will laugh at me, the king who has no responsibility." ”

After a pause, Nanmian looked at Bei Jue with kindness, and then said, "Father couldn't protect your queen mother back then, but Father promised to protect you well." ”

"Father......" What King Nanmian said made Bei Juese a little inexplicably moved for a moment, and this moment of emotion made him seriously face the man in front of him for the first time, and also made him call "Father" from the bottom of his heart for the first time.

King Nanmian was about to say something, a palace man hurriedly walked outside the door and said a few words, and King Nanmian immediately raised his eyes and looked out of the door.

Bei Juese curiously followed the gaze of King Nanmian to look out, and saw that the princess she had seen on the street yesterday was walking this way, today she was wearing a light green dress, and two simple little silver flowers were hairpinned on her head, looking as simple as yesterday. When she reached the turn of the cloister, Bei Juese saw that behind her was a round-faced little girl about eight or nine years old, who was wearing a goose-yellow southern cotton dress, and two lovely buns with shiny pearls on both sides of her head.

After seeing the princess and the little girl, King Nanmian got up and stood outside the door.

The princess quickly led the little girl to the front of King Nanmian and saluted: "The concubine has seen the king." ”

The little girl also followed behind and owed, saying, "Nanling has seen my father." ”

The king of Nanmian stepped forward and took their arms one by the other, led them into the house, and said to Bei Juese, "Come, Wang, my father will introduce you." He let go of the hands of the two and pointed at the princess, "This is Concubine Ming, and this is your sister Nanling." ”

When Concubine Ming was introduced by the King of Nanmian, she looked intently at Bei Juese's face, with an expression of disbelief on her face, until the Nanmian King introduced and Bei Juese saluted her, she still stayed in place and did not come back to her senses.

King Nanmian tugged at her sleeve and said, "Princess, you're also surprised, aren't you?" ”

Concubine Ming came back to her senses, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "It's really surprising." The prince's face is exactly the same as that of the county lord, if the king has not said anything about the prince before, the concubine really thinks that the county lord has been resurrected. ”

The little princess Nan Ling, who was standing next to Concubine Ming, looked up and down curiously with a pair of round eyes, and her pink round face had that curious expression, which looked very cute.

King Nanmian pulled the little princess over with a smile and said, "Nanling, this is the brother Wang that my father told you, why don't you hurry up and salute Brother Wang?" ”

Nan Ling listened to the words of King Nan Mian, obediently walked in front of Bei Jue Se, crossed his hands to his chest, and said loudly: "Nan Ling has seen Brother Wang. The down-and-out and generous ones did not have the slightest pretentiousness, and they were obviously well trained in court etiquette.

Bei Juese hurriedly returned the salute.

Concubine Ming said with a smile on the side: "Your Majesty, the concubine has ordered someone to prepare a meal, why don't we have lunch first and then talk in detail, how about it?" ”

King Nanmian nodded and said, "Okay, let's go eat first." ”

The group left the place where Bei Jueshi lived, and soon after walking, they came to a spacious hall where several palace people were standing. In the middle of the hall is a large long mahogany table, flanked by a dozen chairs, also made of mahogany. King Nanmian first sat down in the middle of the table, and then everyone sat down one by one in order.

After everyone was seated, Concubine Ming clapped her hands, and one of the old palace people in the hall immediately walked outside the hall and shouted, while the others in the hall each held a large wooden plate with many small plates and walked to everyone's side, and put the small plates in the wooden plate on the dining table one by one.

The three small plates were placed in front of Bei Juese, and a strange smell of déjà vu came to the nostrils. If you look closely, you can see that one of the three small plates contains bright red fresh chili peppers, the other contains a pale yellow liquid with minced garlic, and the other contains a liquid with a brown color. After smelling the strange smell a few more times, Bei Juese suddenly remembered that this strange smell of liquid was the kind of "fish sauce" made from many fresh fish!

After putting all the small plates away, a group of palace people holding wooden plates walked in from outside and stood about a meter away from the dining table. The palace people in the hall immediately stepped forward to pick up the food on the wooden plate and put it on the dining table one by one.
