Cloud Country.

Nangong Jinchen had just received the documents sent by Mu Xuanche, and the State of Chu agreed to the conditions proposed by the State of Yun, and Mu Ranyue would set off on the third day of the first month of winter.

Mu Xuanche would agree, as he expected. However, dyeing must be completely unwilling. Nangong Jinchen smiled bitterly.

He knew that she was stubborn, and now that she had not completely recovered from the pain, she was about to be forced to kiss, and she must be in great pain in her heart.

He hurt her again.

But he had no choice, in order to get her again, to get her forever and ever, he had to do this, and he could only do this.

And he firmly believes that she still has him in her heart, even if it is hate, it is born of love. It's just that I don't know how much love she still has for him.

I don't know if she was surprised or disappointed to see that she was still alive?

Now there is less than a month left before that day, but Nangong Jinchen feels that his life is like a year, and he wants to go over to greet his relatives in person, but now his situation does not allow him to leave the cloud country at all.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone came in and said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held a banquet in the East Palace, saying that it was specially to welcome His Highness back to China." ”

It has been more than a month since he returned to China, what is the purpose of Nangong Jinheng inviting him at this time?

"Got it."

Nangong Jinheng also invited several important ministers and imperial relatives, and when Nangong Jinchen stepped into the East Palace, they were already waiting inside.

Seeing the arrival of Nangong Jinchen, everyone bowed their hands one after another: "His Royal Highness King Ling." ”

Nangong Jinchen replied lightly, and then said to Nangong Jinheng, who was at the top: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Before Nangong Jinheng could speak, he heard Nangong Jinzhan on the side laugh and said, "The Sixth Emperor Brother is finally here, but it really makes us wait." ”

Nangong Jinheng glanced at him with disgust, and said to Nangong Jinchen: "The Fifth Emperor Brother is such a joker, the Sixth Emperor Brother don't take it to heart, since you are here, take a seat." Today is a special banquet for the six emperor brothers, and I hope that the six emperor brothers will not dislike it. ”

Nangong Jinchen sat down in the first position at the bottom right, looked at the wine glass in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a trace of mockery, "Thank you for the prince's kindness, but please ask the prince to take back this wine glass, I'm not used to using other people's things." ”

Nangong Jinchen brushed the wine glass aside brightly and took out the wine glass he was carrying.

Nangong Jinheng watched his movements, his expression was a little stunned, but it was irrefutable, he didn't expect that his plan had been discovered by him before it was implemented. So what's the point of his feast today?

He forced out a smile: "Since the Sixth Emperor Brother is unwilling to use the things of the East Palace, then he is not reluctant, and the Sixth Emperor Brother is free to do so." Now that the Lord has arrived, let's start this feast. ”

Nangong Jinzhan took in Nangong Jinheng's expression, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, it seems that this prince really can't do anything about Nangong Jinchen.

Nangong Jinheng clapped his hands, and immediately a singer and a dancer came out to cheer them on.

Then he got up and picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Today is to prepare for the reception banquet of the six emperor brothers, and by the way, to celebrate the joy of the six emperor brothers to be crowned kings." Don't be inhibited, just drink and toast everyone first. ”

Everyone also hurriedly stood up and saluted, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please." ”

Only Nangong Jinchen sat there without moving, quietly watching the performance in the hall.

Nangong Jinheng glanced at him, although this behavior blew his face, he didn't say anything. He doesn't even care about his father, let alone himself?

And the ministers had also seen how arrogant he was in the court that day, so they were not surprised.

It's just that in his heart, he also regarded Nangong Jinchen as a magical character, such an arrogant and indifferent person, it was the first time they had seen him in his life.

However, among the people present, there were also those who understood Nangong Jinchen.

After everyone sat down, Nangong Jinheng said: "The Sixth Emperor Brother has only returned to China for a short time, so you must not know much about the people here, so it is better for Gu to introduce it to you." ”

Nangong Jinchen lightly spit out two words: "There is labor." ”

Nangong Jinheng pointed to the people below to introduce them one by one, and they also got up and raised their glasses to congratulate Nangong Jinchen.

Nangong Jinchen actually responded one by one with a light smile, which made them a little surprised.

Suddenly, a small servant suddenly broke in, hurriedly walked to Nangong Jinzhan's side, and whispered.

Nangong Jinzhan's face changed, and he immediately said to the head of the court: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the younger brother has important matters to deal with now, so the younger brother of the courtier cannot continue to participate in this banquet." ”

Nangong Jinheng was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go back quickly." ”

"Brother quit."

Nangong Jinzhan immediately hurried out.

Everyone wondered in their hearts, what was the important thing that could make King An, who didn't care about everything, change his face?

Nangong Jinheng saw him leave and said, "Okay, let's continue." ”

Because it was only in the East Palace, everyone was not too restrained, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and also chatting about some things in the court.

Although Nangong Jinchen rarely spoke, he sat there, but he was an existence that could not be ignored.

Occasionally, someone will ask him some questions in the court, and he will also express his opinions, and the answer also amazes everyone, I don't want to, the six princes who have been outside have such a talent in national affairs, compared to the prince of the East Palace, who is even better.

Jin Zhuang, who was sitting opposite Nangong Jinchen, was not surprised at all, from the first moment he saw this person, he could see that he was not a simple person.

Now, seeing him so disregard His Majesty and the Crown Prince in his eyes, but with His Majesty's character, he can actually condone it, this is the most strange thing for him.

Jin Zhuang looked at Nangong Jinchen with complicated eyes, wondering why he had let His Majesty indulge him so much.

Nangong Jinchen naturally felt that gaze, although he was not kind, but he didn't say anything.

Jin Zhuang, the prime minister of Yunguo, entered the office in the year of the weak crown, and worshiped the prime minister in the year of the establishment, during his reign, he promoted the new policy, cured the famine, and made suggestions for the sake of the Yunguo, which is not a generation of famous ministers, and its reputation in the world is no less than that of the original Ye Zichen.

And Nangong Yue Peng is ruthless and suspicious, if it weren't for Jin Zhuang's good governance and good ability, Yunguo would not have been governed so well.

So for this prime minister, Nangong Jinchen still has some admiration in her heart.

After three rounds of drinking, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who was a little drunk, suddenly said: "Your Royal Highness King Ling, the minister has a question for you, I don't know if to ask?" ”

Nangong Jinchen said mercilessly: "Adults don't know, how can this king know?" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites changed his face, and he woke up a lot, and said dryly: "Since His Highness said so, the minister said it directly." The minister is very curious, why did His Highness travel abroad for seven years and never come back? ”

Everyone also had a lot of questions about this matter in their hearts, and they all looked at Nangong Jinchen, wanting to hear how he answered.

Nangong Jinchen said lightly: "This question, please forgive this king for having nothing to say." ”

"Why?"

Nangong Jinchen looked at him, "If the adult is really curious, you can ask Your Majesty, and I think Your Majesty will give your adult a reasonable answer." ”

Speaking of which, the faint speculation in some people's hearts is basically confirmed, and the expression on their faces changes slightly, but they also tacitly understand it.

Especially Jin Zhuang, looking at Nangong Jinchen's eyes, it became a little incredulous.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites shut his mouth stupidly.

Nangong Jinchen looked at Jin Zhuang and said, "Jin Xiang has been looking at this king, but he has something to say?" ”

Jin Zhuang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Your Highness, forgive me, the minister just saw that His Highness talked extraordinarily, and he also had unique insights into the affairs of these countries, and he admired it." ”

Nangong Jinchen said politely: "The Prime Minister said that he laughed, this king has just entered the court, and he doesn't know much about Yunguo. Fang Cai's words are just talk on paper, where can he compare to the prime minister? ”

"His Royal Highness King Ling is too modest, please have a cup of your honor." Jin Zhuang raised his glass and said.

"Your Excellency, please."

Nangong Jinchen lowered his eyes and thought, this Jin Zhuang has a very heavy weight in Yun Kingdom, and he himself is also leaky in what he says and does, and he never forms gangs in the court, it is said that the prince tried to win him over several times, but he politely refused.

And he had asked people to test him before, but the answer he got was that he only did things that were beneficial to Yunguo, and as for the rest, he didn't think about anything else.

He himself admires this, but he still won't give up the idea of pulling him over. He did not believe that a man has no weakness in this world.

After drinking, Nangong Jinchen put down his indifference, and said with a sincere face: "Now that this king has just entered the office, in the future in the court, I hope that the prime minister can take care of one or two." ”

As soon as the words fell, Nangong Jinheng's face was almost untenable, and the people in the palace were all shocked, this King Ling was so blatantly wooing the prime minister?

Jin Zhuang's heart also jumped sharply, and he said without changing his color: "His Royal Highness King Ling is really tormenting the minister, His Royal Highness is a noble prince, and he has His Majesty's protection." However, if His Royal Highness does not understand anything about the affairs of the court, the minister is also willing to solve His Highness's doubts. ”

Hearing this disguised refusal, Nangong Jinchen was also expected, and said, "Then thank you Prime Minister." ”

"Your Highness is polite, this is what a minister should do."

Nangong Jinheng gradually regained his face as warm as jade, and said with a smile: "Why bother Jin Xiang with the Sixth Emperor Brother? Lone is the royal brother, if the six emperor brothers have any questions, they can come to Lone, and Lone knows everything. ”

Nangong Jinchen really didn't want to see Nangong Jinheng's brotherly look, and said coldly: "Don't dare to bother the prince." ”

Nangong Jinheng's expression was stagnant, and there seemed to be green muscles on his forehead, he regretted holding this banquet today, he originally wanted to put him together, but he didn't expect to be so humiliated by him.

"Since the Sixth Emperor Brother said so, then Gu is not reluctant. It's just that Gu found that the Sixth Emperor Brother seemed to be dissatisfied with Gu all the time, I don't know where Gu offended the Sixth Emperor Brother, can the Sixth Emperor Brother tell him clearly? Nangong Jinheng said with a gentle face.

Seeing that Nangong Jinheng finally stopped pretending, the corners of Nangong Jinchen's mouth hooked up a trace of mockery, and slowly spit out four words: "The aura is not compatible." ”
