Gentle in the palace.

"Mother, what should I do at the state banquet tonight?" The Seventh Prince had a palpable trace of sorrow on his face.

"Yun'er, from now on, you will no longer be the little Seventh Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Southern Chu, the future king, you have to remember that no matter what happens, you can't panic, understand?" Concubine De had love in her eyes, and a hint of sighing.

"Erchen understands, but Erchen has never understood the state banquet, so how can he preside over it?" The Seventh Prince frowned, as if he was really at a loss.

"Think about what your father did at the state banquet, you just follow your father's example." Concubine De was even more helpless in her heart, and she couldn't help but reflect on whether she had controlled her son too much over the years and protected him too much, so that he was so assertive now.

"Erchen understands! Isn't it easy to learn from the emperor? He sat on the Lord's seat, with a shelf. The Seventh Prince smiled and bent his eyes, what had been sad all the time turned out to be so simple.

"Now you go and discuss with Master Li and your grandfather, they will definitely have better opinions." Concubine De saw that her son was happy, and her heart was also happy.

"But Erchen and Master Li are not familiar with each other, and my grandfather is so fierce." The Seven Princes were a little entangled.

"Silly emperor, you are now the crown prince, and the ministers of the court and the central government are too late to scold you, where is there anything that is not familiar with each other? Besides, your grandfather has always been thinking about you, and he will do his best in your affairs, don't be afraid. Concubine De explained.

"Yes, Princess." The Seventh Prince was a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to refute Concubine De's words.

"This is the good son of this palace." Concubine De's always cold face showed a little smile.

"Mother concubine, can the six emperor brothers be removed?" The Seven Princes seemed to think of something.

"You've just taken office, so don't make a fuss." Concubine De shook her head disapprovingly.

"But as long as the six emperor brothers live for one day, the sons and daughters will feel like they are in their throats." The Seventh Prince looked at Concubine De with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Can Yun'er tell the mother why she hates the six princes so much?" Concubine De was very puzzled, the six princes lingered on the sickbed all the year round, and they stayed in the palace a few years ago and couldn't walk a foot, how could they make Yun'er dislike? Could it be that the six princes have bullied the emperor in private? can be the character of the emperor, not the identity of the sixth prince can be bullied.

"It's nothing, I just can't get used to him." The Seventh Prince didn't want to say anything about it in his heart.

"Yun'er, if you can't tell a reason, the mother concubine will never do it." Concubine De had a hint of sternness in her eyes.

"Even when he was six years old in the study, the master often praised the six emperor brothers for their intelligence, which was an immortal talent, and his father praised him for this, and the son was not convinced, he was obviously from such a humble background, how could he be appreciated by his father and master? However, as the son of Concubine De, Erchen asked himself and worked hard, but he didn't get half of his father's color, and he was unwilling, so he was ......" The seventh prince saw Concubine De's face sank, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't hide it, so he had to explain the reason and the plate.

"Haha......" Concubine De laughed irrepressibly.

"Mother Concubine......" The seventh prince's face turned red, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Yun'er, it's just a child's business, why have you been thinking about it for so long? What if the six princes were smart back then? Now your father doesn't even want to mention it, and the master in the study is also angry that rotten wood cannot be carved, where can such six princes compare to Yun'er with half a point? Listen to the words of the concubine, keep the six princes first, and it is not too late to clean him up on the day you become successful. After laughing for a long time, Concubine De stopped laughing and said meaningfully.

"Yes, Princess." Hearing Concubine De's praise and comfort for herself, the Seventh Prince felt a lot relieved, and only secretly looked forward to the moment when the Sixth Prince was completely trampled under his feet.

Above the state banquet.

"All the vassal kings and envoys, my father and emperor are uncertain, and I specially sent this palace to preside over this banquet, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive me." The Seven Princes stood on the high platform and said decently.

"The emperor's holy body does not bow, the seventh prince should preside over as the head of the East Palace, so we are naturally relieved." When King Wen said this, he looked at Ning Cunzhi if he didn't have anything.

Ning Cunzhi naturally received King Wen's ridicule, drank a glass of wine as usual, and motioned to King Wen for an empty cup as if nothing happened, and King Wen's face was really pale.

"Thank you for your support, this prince on behalf of Nanchu expresses the friendship of eternal friendship, and wishes the world a long period of peace and stability." The Seven Princes were a little high-spirited.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the world in mind, and this king admires it." Thousands of people wear sycophants without wearing them, as soon as the words of the Seven Princes fell, King Wen's praise came one after another.

"There are princes like the Seven Princes in Southern Chu, which is really a blessing for the people."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a model for the prince."

......

Others followed suit.

The smug look on the face of the Seven Princes became more and more obvious.

Ning Cunzhi secretly cursed in his heart, stupid, he revealed his hole cards so quickly.

"Thank you for your compliments, you have come from afar, you have to celebrate today, so that I can do my best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Come on, singing and dancing. The Seventh Prince resumed his seriousness and continued to be polite.

For a time, the singing and dancing were leveled, the guests and hosts were happy, and there was harmony.

Seeing this, the seventh prince became more and more proud in his heart, this is not difficult, it was this prince who made a fuss before.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country, I heard that the concubine of your country is beautiful, beautiful and unparalleled, and she favors the harem, can you take a look at it today?" The envoy of the Western Barbarians drank for three rounds, and he was dizzy, and he didn't know if it was true or not, but he asked so anyway.

"I heard that Emperor Chu has not been in court for this concubine for many times, maybe he is sick or something, but he is actually drunk and lying in the beauty country." The envoy of the Li State said with a little urgency.

"The name of this Yan Concubine Niangniang can be said to have spread all over the world, Emperor Chu is so blessed." The envoy of the Moon Kingdom also seemed to say intentionally or unintentionally.

"**The concubine is indeed beautiful, my father usually pities it tightly, I am afraid that you will be disappointed today." The Seventh Prince was resentful in his heart, and he still maintained a decent appearance on his face.

"It's a pity, such a beauty, such as Meiyu, is seen from a distance, and it is a beautiful thing to think about, it's a pity." The Western Barbarian Envoy sighed repeatedly.

"The words of the Western Barbarian Envoy are not right, the Western Barbarian Envoy knows that my country's Yan Concubine Niangniang is the second concubine of my emperor's palace, but he is still so frivolous in his words, isn't this disrespectful to my emperor? This made the prime minister doubt the purpose of Ximan's trip. Ning Cunzhi held the wine glass and said sharply in his voice.

"Is the envoy drunk, and Prime Minister Ning is too stingy?" The Western Barbarian Envoy sneered.

"I heard that the father of the Western Barbarians died and the son succeeded, and the father's wife married, but my Nanchu has always paid attention to the beginning, and the Xiban envoy ridiculed me as the second concubine of Nanchu, which can be regarded as disrespectful." Ning Cunzhi looked at the Western Barbarian Envoy and said with a smile.

"Since Prime Minister Ning knows that I have such a custom in Ximan, I shouldn't be angry, everyone has a love for beauty, and it's too normal to say these things in my Ximan." The envoy of the Western Barbarians said with a look of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and he was extremely arrogant.

"Have you ever heard of a phrase that the messenger said to follow the customs of the country? If you come to my Nanchu land, you have to respect the rules of my Nanchu. Ning Cunzhi said with a bit of coldness.

"Prime Minister Ning's words are true, but this ignorant is fearless......," the Western Barbarian envoy said with a smile.

"I don't know if it's true or not, Nanchu and Xiban have always communicated with each other, have a close relationship, and it is natural for each other to know each other's habits, but the envoy of the Western Barbarian said that those who don't know are fearless, when will the prime minister ask the king of the Western Barbarians, when did the diplomatic envoys of the Western Barbarians be so stupid." Ning Cunzhi said coldly.

"You! Okay, Prime Minister Ning really has a clever mouth! The envoy of the Western Barbarians was angry for a while, but he was helpless, he originally wanted to use the matter of Concubine Yan to satirize Emperor Chu for indulging in women, but he didn't expect to be sarcastically incompetent!

"I can't say it, I only know that I can kill and not be humiliated, I am a great man, and I can't be violated, today is the messenger drunk, and I don't care about it." Ning Cunzhi said righteously.

"Today, the envoy of the Western Barbarians is drunk and talks nonsense after drinking, how can he take it seriously? Is Prime Minister Ning too unkind? "King Wen saw that the envoy of the Western Barbarians was weak, and he didn't want Ning Cunzhi to be complacent, so he grabbed the drunkenness and didn't let go.

"How many people make mistakes because of drinking, if King Wen is drunk and cares so much about the face of his country, then he is really confused, even if he is drunk and nonsense, I am afraid that I can't cover up your stupidity King Wen." Ning Cunzhi said mercilessly.

"Ning Cunzhi, you are a little villain!" King Wen couldn't help but say angrily.

"Let everyone laugh, King Wen is drunk, come on, send King Wen to Jiaqing Palace to rest." Ning Cunzhi's face became more and more bad.

Ning Cunzhi's words fell, and the princess who received him at the banquet immediately stepped forward to support King Wen and took him to Jiaqing Palace.

King Wen is in the year of not being confused, and he has a good relationship with Emperor Jianwen over the years, so it is inevitable to be proud, and now Ning Cunzhi is so faceless to drive him away, which is equivalent to losing face, how can he be willing? Just as he was about to leave, Ning Cunzhi had walked in front of him at some point, his eyes were cold, and his face was indeed full of smiles.

"Lord Wen, you must also have a degree of willfulness, just rely on your excuse for the envoy of the Western Barbarians today, the emperor will never spare you, and I advise you to leave obediently now." Ning Cunzhi's eyes were full of obvious threats and disgust.

"Ning Cunzhi, when this king sees the emperor, he will definitely take a good look at you!" King Wen gritted his teeth and said.

"Ben is waiting." Ning Cunzhi didn't care at all.

"Humph!" King Wen shook off the waiter, strode away, and glared at Ning Cunzhi fiercely when he left.

Ning Cunzhi looked at King Wen's back, and his eyes were full of deep meaning.

Nengchen can't give full play to his talents, but mediocre people can rely on themselves not to pose an imperial threat to jump up and down, the prosperous court of the year has completely disappeared since the death of the Marquis of Zhenbei and the collapse of the Jiang family.
