Chapter 322: The Prince's Intentions
In fact, Wu Tian didn't want to have too close contact with the people of the royal family, but Wu Tian could only choose to participate in the prince's invitation, if he didn't go, he would definitely be suppressed by the prince, at least Wu Tian didn't want to turn his face directly with the prince now.
Wu Tian had just killed the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate now, which caused a huge shock among the forces of the entire imperial city, and it was at this juncture that the prince invited Wu Tian openly, and his intention was quite obvious. Wu Tian naturally knew the prince's intentions, that is, he wanted to use this method to entrap himself, and he also wanted to show others, especially those princes.
Three days later, Wu Tian took the invitation and entered the prince's palace in the palace again, and the invitation of the prince was equivalent to a token, and the guards directly brought Wu Tian to the palace.
Today is the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, although it is not as good as the emperor's birthday, but after all, it is the prince, there are many dignitaries and nobles who came to congratulate the prince, but few people can be invited by the prince, just send the gift and leave, and the people who can be invited by the prince are people with status.
Of course, Wu Tian is not a person of status, but the prince will specially invite him if he has special intentions.
"Wu Gongzi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially told you that you are a distinguished guest, you sit here for a while, and I will immediately go to inform His Royal Highness the Prince. The guard who brought Wu Tian in said respectfully to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian nodded, and then sat down in the place where the banquet was held in the prince's palace.
At this time, the Eighth Prince walked over, he saw Wu Tian first, and greeted him with a smile: "Wu Gongzi, long time no see!"
"Oh, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, I didn't see it just now, please forgive me. Wu Tian arched his hand and said hello.
The Eighth Prince waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay!
Wu Tian smiled slightly: "It's been okay recently, there are no big waves." ”
The Eighth Prince smiled slightly, although Wu Tian didn't say anything big, but he knew what Wu Tian had done during this time, but he didn't say it directly.
"Wu Gongzi, if you need anything, you can find this king, if this king can help, he will definitely do his best. The Eighth Prince said to Wu Tian with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Eighth Prince. Wu Tian arched his hand and replied.
At this time, the crown prince came to Wu Tian's side, and saw Wu Tianhou with a smile on his face: "Wu Gongzi, welcome to your arrival, it is definitely a blessing for this king to invite a character like you!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really too polite, it is my honor to be able to participate in His Highness's birthday banquet, Happy Birthday Your Highness, this is a small gift in the Majesty, please Your Highness can accept it!" Wu Tian took out a delicate box, which contained a few pills such as the Blood Pill, the Huiqi Pill and other pills, although it was not too valuable, but it could be regarded as something that could be handled.
"Wu Gongzi, you are too outward, what kind of gifts do you bring to this king's banquet, but since it is a gift from Wu Gongzi, this king should be respectful and obey his fate. The crown prince asked his subordinates to take Wu Tian's gift, and then looked at Wu Tian and the Eighth Emperor, "Wu Gongzi, Eighth Emperor Brother, the banquet is about to start, everyone take a seat!"
Obviously, the crown prince deliberately became so familiar with Wu Tian in front of the eighth prince, and of course the eighth prince understood the prince's intentions, but he didn't say anything, just glanced at Wu Tian and then a playful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Subsequently, Wu Tian and the Eighth Prince came to the hall of the Prince Palace, the Prince Hall is worthy of being second only to the emperor of the court hall, both magnificent and spacious, the top of the hall is a huge tiger skin chair, on both sides of the hall are placed tables and chairs for the guests invited by the prince to sit, there are dozens of tables on both sides, probably able to accommodate hundreds of people to sit.
When Wu Tian came here, it was almost full, and on both sides of the position of the prince were people from the royal family, followed by some princes and nobles, and then a little later were high-ranking officials, and finally there were some people with slightly lowly status.
As for Wu Tianma, he sat at the back near the gate of the palace according to his identity.
After bringing Wu Tian and the Eighth Prince in, the crown prince sat at the top of the main hall, and the people below stood up in unison to show respect for the prince.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on a happy birthday and good health!"
"Thank you for your blessings, the king is very happy today, because I have invited you to participate in the king's birthday banquet, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive me, since you have finished your seat, then today's banquet will begin, and the wine and food will be served!"
Afterwards, dozens of delicate palace maids respectfully placed good wine and food on everyone's table, and the prince was generous, and there were about five or six exquisite dishes on each person's table, and cakes and fruits were not counted.
After the food was served, the prince raised his glass and said, "Thank you for being able to participate in the king's birthday banquet today, and the king is here to toast to you!"
"Brother Huang, you are too tormenting us, we should respect you, right?"
"Yes, it should be up to us to honor His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Come, let's give a toast to Your Highness!"
Suddenly, all the people below stood up to pay homage to the prince.
The prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is too polite, whoever respects everyone is the same, come, everyone here has done it together!"
Suddenly, everyone finished drinking a glass of wine together.
After putting down the wine glass, the prince smiled and said to everyone: "In order to thank you for coming, this king specially invited the top brand of the Red Mansion 'Ethereal Girl' to play a song for everyone!"
As he spoke, the prince clapped his hands, and suddenly, a group of brightly dressed dancers first walked respectfully to the center of the main hall, and then a red-clothed and masked woman slowly followed up with a guzheng in her arms.
"It turned out to be an ethereal girl, it is said that her performance is a must in the imperial city, and she will not easily play to others, and it is really a blessing to be fortunate to hear it today!"
"Even if the dignitaries and nobles want to enjoy the performance of the ethereal girl, it is very difficult, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such strength, and we can see that it is all thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Although this ethereal girl is masked, her figure is quite slender, and there is an impulse at first sight, I don't know what her appearance is. ”
When the Ethereal Girl came up, most of them were talking.
After entering the main hall, the ethereal girl walked near Wu Tian and did not continue to move forward, put the guzheng on a table, and then bowed to everyone and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, ladies and gentlemen, the little girl is ugly!"
Hearing the voice of the ethereal girl, many people's eyes lit up.
Because the ethereal girl was near Wu Tian, Wu Tian could see very clearly that this was indeed the ethereal girl, and it seemed that she was indeed invited by His Royal Highness the Prince.
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional, the ethereal girl deliberately glanced at Wu Tian when she sat down, and Wu Tian felt the ethereal girl smile at herself.
"Uh...... Am I dazzled or narcissistic?" Wu Tian stared at the ethereal girl in confusion.
