For the first time, I saw a real person who was above 10,000 people under one person, Xun Shifei, the prince of the Xun clan of the Kyushu Empire. Li Zhen did not shy away from observing him carefully, but the prince was born white, and he couldn't see anything unusual about ordinary people.

It's not like the legendary dragon walking tiger step, step by step gives birth to lotus, and there is a kind of noble temperament of dragon liver and phoenix marrow without anger and self-authority. No, neither.

He is like an ordinary elder brother of the leading family, smiling and making people a little warm.

"This is the junior, right? Sure enough, the hero came out of the boy. ”

Li Zhen clenched his fists: "In Xia Hangcheng, Li Zhen has seen the crown prince of the Xun family, the regent of the Kyushu Empire. ”

The full name of the prince is so long that most people don't know it. If it weren't for Mingkang's special informing on the way here that he would use his full name if he met solemnly for the first time, Li Zhen wouldn't have known that the prince's name was so long.

There are many royal rules, and calling a person does not call him by his name, or by his rank. It is a kind of etiquette to use the full name.

Xun Shifei smiled, and also returned the salute to Li Zhen with a fist: "Senior brother doesn't have to be so unfamiliar, call me Senior Xun, and look closer." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "The imperial gift cannot be abolished, it is still the prince." ”

"Flutter"

A maid behind Xun Shifei couldn't help laughing, turned her head and whispered to the maid next to her: "It's really like the hillbilly from the poor countryside in the legend, the prince has called him a junior, and he still has to insist on calling the prince, hahaha, sure enough, outside the Eight Dragons City are all rural areas, and all outside Zhongzhou are farmers." ”

Another maid also whispered, "I haven't seen the world before." When you see the Son of Heaven, don't you fall to the ground in fright? ”

“……”

The atmosphere in the room became awkward.

The prince is unusually fond of the ten maids, and he usually does not have any superior and subordinate majesty with them, just like brothers and sisters, and like lovers. These maids are not like the closure of the feudal dynasty in ancient times, there are more lively and heartless girls, but there are no rules and no attention to the occasion.

Except for the people who saw the royal family, they saw everyone like this.

Mingkang frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

When Li Zhen heard this, he pretended not to hear it. Are the people of the imperial capital arrogant? Outside of Balong City are all rural areas, and outside of Zhongzhou are all farmers?

Xun Shifei was also a little embarrassed, he naturally knew why his maid ridiculed Li Zhen like this in public, because his maid must be towards him. They don't care if you are a champion or not, an official or not, they only know that if the prince doesn't like a person, they will ridicule him outside of words.

"Xiaolian, don't speak wildly."

The maid pouted, "Wow." ”

Xun Shifei's face was impermanent, and he revealed it lightly: "Senior brother, sit down." ”

Li Zhen was stunned, is he so spoiled?

A person like Qi Stunned, who has a bad head, also thinks this is a little weird. The two masters spoke, and the people below interjected and ridiculed, which is a faux pas. When Li Zhen was talking to others, Qi was stunned and didn't dare to interject and talk nonsense.

The maids behind this prince, it stands to reason that this status should be much lower than that of herself in front of Li Zhen, they talk casually, speak wildly, and pass it so lightly?

Qi was stunned and couldn't understand, isn't it a legend of the royal rules? How did you get to the prince, did you come the other way around?

Li Zhen is not a person with a small belly, and he sits down casually without taking it to heart, and his butt just sticks to the chair. The maid named Xiaolian pursed her lips again and said:

"There are no rules. The prince didn't even sit down, but you sat down first, it's really uneducated. ”

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, quickly stood up again, and said with a somewhat ashamed smile: "The first time I entered Zhongzhou, I was rude, and I asked the prince to forgive me." ”

Xun Shifei smiled: "It's okay. Xiaolian has been speaking openly, and the junior brother should not take it to heart. ”

"No, no, no."

As soon as Li Zhen's voice fell, Xiaolian answered again: "Hmph, forgive him and don't dare." doesn't pee on himself, and he tries to compete with the prince for knowledge? I really thought that my champion was amazing......"

"Little Lotus!"

Rao is Xun Shifei spoiled her again, and she was also a little angry at this time. Some words are just said behind the scenes, and they are also taken out to say, three times and twice, people can't get off the stage.

Xiaolian pouted, looking at Xun Shifei with a face full of grievances, meaning, did I say it wrong?

Xun Shifei glared angrily, looked at it for a moment, and could only sigh helplessly, still couldn't bear to count her.

Li Zhen and the others looked at each other, is this a maid? Is it so spoiled?

Doesn't it mean that this is a royal family with a lot of rules? Why is this maid's status so high? Rao is a maid and servant of a wealthy merchant, and he doesn't dare to talk like this in front of his master, and there are still guests. Is this royal maid so bold?

Xun Shifei looked at Li Zhen with a wry smile: "Junior brother, forgive me." ”

What can Li Zhen say? I could only nod and say, "The prince is too worried, I haven't heard anything." ”

"Well, you're tired all the way, aren't you?"

"I'm a little tired."

"The main palace has already arranged a residence, and it is night, let's rest. Hehe, tomorrow I have to take a good look at the level of my junior. ”

"The grass people are retired."

"Please."

“……”

After entering the mansion of the prince of Jinzhou County, he didn't even drink a cup of tea, and Li Zhen and the others retreated to rest.

In the guest room, Qi was stunned: "Is this still a maid?" So expensive? ”

Mingkang whispered, "Be quiet, don't let people hear." ”

"Hey, I just can't figure it out, this ...... That's too unruly, isn't it? ”

"Prince Suwen is very fond of the maid, I didn't expect to be so favored, alas."

Mingkang and Qi stunned the two chatted and complained to each other.

Li Zhen sat on the edge of the bed and pondered, why did it seem that the prince seemed to be a little unwilling to see him?

It doesn't matter if the maids are straightforward, but if the prince likes him, will they still say that? Obviously, the prince didn't like him, so the maid couldn't help but come out and say some harsh words.

"Brother Ming, have I inadvertently offended the prince?"

Ming Kang smiled bitterly: "It's not enough to offend, the prince is not so small-bellied." ”

"So what's going on today?"

"Because the prince announced that Jinzhou County will compete with you tomorrow for knowledge. It's taking you as an opponent. ”

Li Zhen suddenly realized: "The prince has taken me as an opponent, so his maid will be 'straightforward' to me?" ”

"That's how it should be. However, the prince is indeed too fond of the maid, but Li Zhen, you have been wronged. Don't care. ”

"No, it won't."

“……”

Night.

After dinner, Li Zhen walked in the mansion with a shy stomach.

This Golden State County is not the prince's fiefdom, but there is just a set of prince's mansions here, and he will come to play and live here when he has time.

I have to say that the royal family is still rich, this is just a set of mansions similar to the country villas of the rich, which surprised Li Zhen.

Unfamiliar people such as Li Zhen, walking and walking, will get lost.

Night.

Xun Shifei also went out for a walk after dinner, and he was extremely upset. I've been very irritable these days, especially when I'm being led by the nose and have nothing to do.

Seeing Li Zhen today, Xun Shifei was even more upset. As soon as I thought that I would compete with Li Zhen tomorrow, I felt a dry mouth. This thankless thing is finally going to happen.

"Ugh."

You sighed, he felt that he was tired of being a prince. Stretched out his hand to hold up a summer flower and sniffed lightly, the fragrance filled the nose, suddenly looked back, and said with a smile:

"Are you still satisfied with my food here?"

Li Zhen smiled and saluted, and then sat down on the pillar of the pavilion: "Very satisfied." ”

The prince walked up to him and sat opposite, and said with a smile: "Please don't take some of what Xiaolian said in the afternoon, please don't take it to heart, she is like this to everyone, I am too favored." ”

"It's okay."

The prince nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something: "I heard that you came to Zhongzhou from Hangcheng County, and you were investigating the people's livelihood situation in various places along the way?" ”

Li Zhen's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in his heart, how did he know?

I subconsciously touched the notebook I was carrying, and I knew the GDP of all places here.

Don't...... Mingkang told him?

How could it be, how could Mingkang be so ignorant?

The crown prince smiled: "Don't be surprised, there are clerks who record your words and deeds along the way, and you haven't arrived in Zhongzhou yet." A clerk has already recorded what you did and said along the way, and reported it to the imperial court. As the prince of Kyushu, I naturally understand. Hehe, swinging flat swallow rock, domineering. This palace serves you. ”

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it's okay, but he knows what he did, and he doesn't know if he did it or not. However, I was still terrified in my heart, and I had to be careful in the future, I still underestimated the horror of the empire.

Is there a clerk? I didn't even know that there was a clerk with me. Really...... It's dangerous.

If the clerk found out that he had such a notebook, the court must be curious, and if he let himself hand it over to the officials, it would be a big trouble.

"Swallow Rock...... It's just that the grass people once vowed to avenge their classmates and teachers. ”

"It doesn't matter. Kyushu kills a lot of people every day, and no one cares if you kill a few horse thieves. It's just that Bengong is very curious, you are a science student, but you are investigating the livelihood of people in various places along the way? Do you still understand people's livelihood? ”

"I understand a little."

A flash of surprise flashed in the prince's eyes: "Let's talk? ”

"I know everything."
