Chapter 18: The Celebration Banquet I Had to Go
The past hits my heart one by one, the fragments in my mind loom in my mind, and the past events all pour out at this time.
It's because there have been too many things lately, and although he often has insomnia, it's really rare to have a sleepless night like now.
On the other day, Ling Tianqi just pretended to sleep for a while and washed the bed.
He was already light, but last night he remembered a lot of things from the past, so that there was not much time for real rest.
Pushing open the door, the weather is still as warm as ever, the geographical location of Lingguo is quite appropriate, the four seasons are like spring all year round, not as good as the south, and there is heavy snowfall.
"Lord Wang." Gu Yuancheng bowed down and stood outside the door, and when he saw Ling Tianqi come out, he called out in a low voice, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting here.
"Something?" Ling Tianqi frowned and looked at him, waiting here so early, most likely there would be nothing good, it was estimated that the one in the palace sent someone again.
Being poked in the heart, Gu Yuancheng pursed his lips and smiled, "Lord, someone was sent from the palace, saying that it was the emperor's edict that you were ordered to enter the palace to participate in the celebration banquet." Gu Yuancheng's voice was very low, because after following Ling Tianqi for so many years, if he didn't know what he liked and disliked, then he wouldn't be a qualified guard.
"Didn't you say yesterday, don't go." Ling Tianqi's tone was very resolute, even if Emperor Ling sent someone, his decision did not change much.
When Gu Yuancheng heard this, he knew what he meant by the prince, and no one knew his temperament better than him.
"But my lord, this time it seems to be different from usual. This time, he not only brought Emperor Ling's dictation, but also brought internal guards. Gu Yuancheng has been thinking about whether to tell his prince about this matter, after all, with the current power of the palace, after all, he can't compete with Emperor Ling's power for so many years, if he fights hard, he can only hit the stone with an egg, and the effort is thankless.
Hearing this, Ling Tianqi smiled, but it was so warm that even Gu Yuancheng couldn't help but shudder.
"What do you mean, if I don't go, is it possible that he will send someone to invite me to go?" Ling Tianqi said this sentence slowly, and the fingers under the sleeves were already clenched into fists, and the green tendons on them were vaguely visible.
Gu Yuancheng didn't answer, and at that moment Ling Tianqi understood what was going on.
"Also, take me to meet the people from the palace first." Saying that, walking past Gu Yuancheng, Gu Yuancheng couldn't help but clench his arms, it was so cold, obviously the weather was so good.
Emperor Ling sent a total of seven people over, one was a eunuch in the palace, and the other six, without thinking about it, were the so-called people who came to invite him.
Ling Tianqi walked to the main seat and sat down, looked at a few people with a smile, picked up the tea cup on the table and drank a sip of water before he spoke: "You guys, don't you take my palace too seriously?" It seems to be a question, but there is an affirmation in the question, and it seems that he is very dissatisfied with their behavior.
"His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, we are also under the dictation of Emperor Ling, and please don't embarrass us." The little eunuch didn't even dare to look up at Ling Tianqi, so he replied respectfully.
"Embarrassed? It's you who are embarrassing our prince, you have already entered the house with knives, what do you want? You only have Emperor Ling in your eyes, aren't the six princes human? Before Ling Tianqi could speak, Gu Yuancheng, who was standing beside him, had already spoken out first, and his tone was also aggressive.
