"Your Highness, who are you talking to?" This was the voice of Uncle Shen Guo, and then a fat figure appeared behind Huangfu Tian, the king of Chu.

Uncle Shen Guo walked out of the big tent, he had been there for a while, contrary to Huangfu Heng's desire to get the Qi family's financial resources, Uncle Shen Guo wanted to prevent the Qi family from taking refuge in the prince, he couldn't let the Qi family become the prince's money bank, he came to the Qi family with this purpose today.

Unexpectedly, they met in a narrow way, and met at a moment that no one expected, the atmosphere at the door of the big tent suddenly became depressed, and Uncle Shen and Huangfu Heng both wanted to squeeze out a smile, but there was a King of Chu in the middle, and neither of them could laugh.

"Emperor Fu Wujin, see His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"

Wu Jin stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and saluted the King of Chu, who led the Governor of the Chu Prefecture Naval Army, and was Wu Jin's top boss.

His salute broke the embarrassment in front of him, and Huangfu Heng laughed, "Seventh brother, this is Huangfu Wujin, the grandson of the king of Lanling County, it's the first time you see him!" ”

He also stepped forward and nodded with a smile to Uncle Shen, as if colleagues met at the door of the court, very casually, Uncle Shen also found this opportunity to break the silence, and he also smiled at the King of Chu: "Your Highness, didn't I tell you yesterday that this Huangfu Wujin general will be the deputy governor of the Chuzhou Naval Army?" ”

Huangfu Tian nodded, he stepped forward to look at Wujin, and said with a smile: "General Huangfu is dignified, no wonder Uncle Guo has been praising you all the time." ”

Wu Jin's heart jumped suddenly, just now the king of Chu said that he was celebrating the birthday of the Qi family on behalf of the emperor, Wu Jin thought it was the exit of the young man Wuji, and said as he wanted, but now he actually said that Uncle Shen praised him, Wu Jin realized that this young man was not simple, and he had such a scheming at a young age.

He hurriedly replied: "Thank you Your Highness for your kind words, but your humble position is incompetent, which disappoints Your Highness and Shen Xiangguo." ”

Wujin's words reminded Huang Fuheng at once, it is impossible for Uncle Shen Guo to praise Wujin, the king of Chu obviously deliberately said it to himself, so just now he said that he was representing his father, how big is the real surname of this sentence, according to the general law, only the prince can represent the emperor, if he is not there, maybe there is this possibility, but the father clearly knows that he also came to participate in the Qi family's birthday banquet, and if he does it again, it will be a bit inconsistent with the law, maybe the father has this heart, but in public, the father cannot really do this, the prince sat aside, Another prince said in front of hundreds of powerful royal families that he came on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, how big the impact would be, didn't my father know?

Impossible, his father would never entrust him to represent, this must have been what he said on purpose, Huang Fuheng suddenly understood, even if his father investigated him afterwards, he could also rely on his young age and be coquettish, and then his father let him go because of his young age, but the bad influence caused by this hurt him Huang Fuheng a lot.

Thinking of this, Huang Fuheng became angry in his heart, and he said lightly: "I didn't know that the King of Chu could attend the celebration on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, Shen Xiangguo, did the emperor really entrust the King of Chu like this?" ”

His tone was full of threats, and he questioned Uncle Shen, who understood that Huangfu Heng was suspicious, so he smiled slightly and said, "The old minister is not present in this matter, how can the old minister know?" ”

Huangfu Tian pretended not to hear anything, he smiled at Huangfu Wujin and said: "General Wujin, you don't have to salute like this in the future, and you are also a close relative of the royal family, I prefer us to be peaceful, please get up!" ”

Wu Jin sighed slightly in his heart, this King of Chu is really good, he is so scheming at a young age, there is no doubt, this must be taught by his mother Empress Shen, from a small to a big one, you can also imagine Queen Shen's scheming.

Huang Fuheng didn't let him go because the King of Chu pretended not to hear it, he walked up to the King of Chu, looked him in the eyes and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, did the father really ask you to come to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Qi family on his behalf?" ”

Huangfu Tian scratched his head and said innocently: "Brother Huang, this is normal!" My father can't come if I have something, so we as princes naturally want to share our father's worries and fulfill our filial piety, I want to share my father's worries, isn't it? ”

Sure enough, it was a false holy decree, Huang Fu Heng snorted coldly in his heart, ignored him anymore, turned back to Qi Mao and smiled: "I'm really sorry for the delay in waiting for me, let's start!" ”

He took King Chu's hand and said with a smile: "Seventh brother, the imperial brother hasn't seen you for a long time, and there are many things to ask you, so you will sit with the imperial brother." ”

Huang Fuheng was very vigilant, he would not give the King of Chu another chance to falsely pass on the holy decree.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The guards shouted, and the originally lively tent suddenly quieted down, this is the first tent, there are less than three hundred guests inside, all of them are one person and one table, and the people who can attend in this big tent are all noble people, either the county duke or above, or the court ministers, like Shao Jingwen, although he has real power, he is not qualified to sit in the first big tent, but to sit in the second big tent.

The big tent suddenly quieted down, only to see the crown prince Fu Heng holding the hand of his brother Chu Wang Fu Tian and walked in quickly, the two brothers looked intimate, and the people in the big tent stood up and saluted, although they were surprised in their hearts, but the etiquette could not be lost.

"See Your Highness!"

I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Chu or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince they participated in, in this big tent, the royal family accounts for the majority, and most of the royal family is inclined to the King of Chu, and Huang Fuheng's support in this big tent is not high.

Uncle Shen Guo walked behind with a smile on his face, his position was the first on the left, he went back to his seat directly, Wujin was a little behind, deliberately keeping a distance from them, from outside the tent door, he saw at a glance that the seat next to Huangfu Yibiao was empty, unfortunately, that was his seat, indeed it was actually the seat of the king of Lanling County.

However, the Qi family has already taken this into account, Wu Jin is a junior after all, although he represents the king of Lanling County, his own identity cannot sit with Huangfu Yibiao.

Qi Fengwu, who was hiding in the shadows, appeared, and she pointed to an empty seat on the right near the big tent, meaning to let Wu Jin sit there, there seemed to be young people next to her, this position was good, Wu Jin happily walked in and sat down.

Sitting alone, the table is not small, the utensils on the table are completely different from the merchant's tent where he was just now, the jade plate and gold bowl, the famous kiln porcelain, and the food are also exquisite and abnormal, not as rich as in the merchant's tent, but each dish is exquisitely made, like a work of art, so that people can't bear to put down the chopsticks.

The table was covered with velvet, and there was a sign on it, which should be the number of the guest invitation, with the word 'Reserved Table', which turned out to be a spare seat, no wonder there was no one.

A maid came up from behind, poured him a glass of wine with her slender jade hand, and took the sign away, Wu Jin looked at both sides, most of the men on the right were men in their thirties, basically all of them were royal families similar to him, either Guogong or County Duke, among them, there were more county dukes, according to the rules of the royal family, the third generation of the county king is the county duke, so these people are the grandchildren of the county king, or the sons of the national prince.

"You are Huangfu Wujin?" The man next to him asked with a slight smile.

Wu Jin hurriedly bowed his hand to him in return, "Brother Tai is?" ”

"I'm Yang Ting'an, can General Huangfu hear?"

Wujin nodded, this person he knows, the son of Taifu Yang Sheng, his sister is Empress Yang who died at the beginning of the year, and the crown prince Fuheng is his nephew, in fact, he is the real uncle of the country, he was originally a servant of the Ministry of Officials, after the death of Empress Yang, the Yang family's power was suppressed, and he was also transferred to the local government as an official, and the current Yuhang County Assassin Shi, and Su Hanzhen took office almost at the same time, he is the prince of the county, so he can sit in the first account.

Wu Jin hurriedly smiled: "I have admired the name of Yang Thorn History for a long time, please take care of it in the future!" ”

He was telling the truth, he had a naval army under his jurisdiction in Yuhang County, and he would have the opportunity to deal with Yang Tingan in the future.

Yang Ting'an also returned the salute to him, "In the future, I will also ask General Huangfu to protect Yuhang County." ”

At this time, a crisp bell rang in the big tent, the birthday banquet officially began, there were four people sitting on the seat in the middle of the big tent, in the middle is today's protagonist, the birthday star Qi Wannian, the first person on the left is the crown prince Fu Heng, Huang Fu Heng and then the left is the Chu King Huang Fu Tian, and the first person on Qi Wannian's right hand is Zhao Wang Huang Fu Tan.

King Zhao Huangfu looked very similar to King Qi, Wu Jin almost regarded him as the King of Qi, he asked Yang Ting'an in a low voice, "Is that the one on the right King Zhao?" ”

He hadn't seen King Zhao, but he heard Qi Fengwu say that King Zhao was coming today, so he guessed that this person was King Zhao.

Yang Ting'an nodded, "This person is King Zhao, his mother is Concubine Li De, and Concubine Li Xian, the mother of King Qi, is a sister, so he has the best relationship with King Qi, but don't look at him as burly, but he is not in good health, and he almost died of a serious illness last year." ”

Wu Jin suddenly, no wonder he looks very similar to King Qi, it turns out that his mother and King Qi's mother are sisters, this is the first time he has heard of it, but he heard Huang Fujiang say that this King Zhao is the most insidious of all the princes, usually under the pretext of poor health, never participate in any public activities, but at a critical time, he will not be absent, and this person also has ambitions to win the heir, the last time Donghai County thorn history dispute, he also participated, he recommended the Ministry of Labor Langzhong Qiu Zhi, but it was unsuccessful.

His Zhao Palace, which is in Fanyang Mansion, that is, Youzhou, is guarded by 50,000 cavalry, and the army is not weak.

Wu Jin suddenly thought of one thing, since Huangfu Jiang said that King Zhao rarely showed his head, and he was rarely seen in various activities, why did he attend Old Man Qi's birthday banquet?

Could it be that he is also interested in Qi Ruifu Firm?

Yang Ting'an seemed to understand Wu Jin's thoughts, he smiled faintly, and said to himself: "It seems that Qi Ruifu's business will have a big development in Youzhou." ”

Wu Jin nodded secretly, he understood, King Zhao may be digging a pit and letting the Qi family jump in, with King Qi's Donglai Commercial Bank, will Youzhou Wheel get Qi Ruifu?

“．．．．． Thank you, all the princes, all the adults who came to the Qi Mansion to congratulate my father in their busy schedules, this glass of wine is the Qi family's respect to all the distinguished guests! ”

This is the host Qi Mao is giving a toast, everyone got up together, and the crown prince Fu Heng raised his glass and said loudly: "We wish the old man Qi a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan!" ”

Everyone congratulated loudly at the same time: "Shoubi Nanshan!" ”
