Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Night Banquet
Feng Xue was obviously ready to go on a blind date, but Feng Xue received an invitation to the banquet that night.
Just after the three princes left one after another.
And the inviter is King Xu.
"I'm rubbing! How many generations have passed, and it's still a 'family banquet'! Who are you?" Feng Xue wanted to say this to the waiter at this time, but he still coaxed.
No one can be out of the circle, people are in Xu Kingdom, and they are basically in Xu Kingdom, so they can only take care of King Xu's face.
King Xu didn't dare to do anything to him, not only because he was taking care of Da Xia, but also because he understood that Feng Xue had merit, and moving Feng Xue was tantamount to cutting off the fortune of the country.
However, if they don't do anything to you, they can stumble you everywhere, such as the explosion of a chemical plant, the water of a paper mill, the extraction of immigrants, and the conscription of military service...... And so on, even if you don't care about yourself, those ordinary people will be suppressed after all.
Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, King Xu, or even any king, will not use this method casually to make things stiff, which is not good for anyone. But if you don't even give face to the banquet, the provocation will be too obvious.
The superior has always been careful, he doesn't care if you have a hard time or not, people ask you not to go, okay, this must be no longer going to stay in Xu State, Daxian is centrifuged, the country's fortunes will decline, since you don't want to be good, then don't blame me! Come on, hurt each other...... Well, that's probably the case. (Sometimes, the hearts of big people are smaller than you imagine, and if you think it's fake, please go and look through the history books)
Giving up the hard work accumulated in five years and going away, or going on a blind date that is likely to be problematic, two choices appeared in front of Feng Xue.
The former has to face the embarrassment of not being familiar with the place, and he is not qualified to take away too many Zhuang households (fiefs and commoners are the private property of nobles, Feng Xue himself only has the title that comes with his royal identity, and leaving is to give up his royal identity, and the title will be gone), at most, that is, bring thirteen disciples and personal slaves, and a few disciples from poor backgrounds are just that, but Shen Cong and other children from rich and noble families are not necessarily willing to give up the net worth they have accumulated。
And the latter is likely to face an existence that dares to pretend to be a descendant of the sage, and if it is involved in some supernatural factors, it may be killed.
If there is no way out, Feng Xue doesn't mind going around, but now, he has a way back-
As long as he dies, in the next life, he will be able to cultivate immortals.
This made him disgusted with such things as farming from scratch.
The problem Feng Xue is facing now is like a gambler who has already placed heavy bets on the table, and is facing a new round of raising, and all he can suppress is his last asset.
If you win, you will be qualified to continue waiting for the next round, and if you lose, you will have nothing left, and there is no possibility of a comeback.
But at the same time, there is a third option - give up.
Escaping is shameful, but sometimes it works very well.
It is sometimes not a wise choice to abandon the chips that have been pressed down and leave alone.
If Feng Xue was really faced with such a choice, he would probably choose to give up without hesitation.
But the problem is that Feng Xue now has a way out.
What if this gambler is not an ordinary commoner, but a rich man who has left home by himself? What if he loses, he will only lose all his fortune, and then turn around and go home to inherit a net worth of billions?
In this way, giving up has become the worst option.
So Feng Xue was instigated, he accepted the notice of the family banquet, then bathed and changed clothes, and in the evening, with his six sons, arrived at the palace in an ox cart.
The chimes are crisp, the jade chimes are melodious, and the golden sound is jade, but it is a ritual music that can only be enjoyed by the princes' family background.
This bell chime rings one after another, but it is wrapped in wisps of piano sound, this is the Fuxi qin with only five strings at this time, as for wind instruments such as sheng Xiao Zhu, there is no such thing at the moment, after all, it is not Yayin, personal hobbies are acceptable, but appearing in this level of banquet, it is not qualified.
Feng Xue walked into the hall under the hospitality of the chamberlain, while the sixth son followed the attendants to the side hall for the servants to communicate.
Unlike in previous years, when participating in the banquet was inevitably small and transparent, Feng Xue stepped into the hall with one foot, and with a roll call from the attendant on his side, the royal family members with heads and faces in the hall almost turned their eyes to it at the same time, at that moment, Feng Xue only felt that he was like a monkey for people to see, no, everyone had seen monkeys, he felt that he was more like an alien, and he wanted to see what he looked like.
However, he was not disgusted, but was overjoyed, just waiting for a certain noble lady to come over and talk about family affairs, now he can't care about what his wife looks like and what her personality is.
But he was disappointed again, and the wives who would chase young talents to talk about family affairs in previous years seemed to be different people, chatting about all kinds of boring topics in aristocratic circles, but none of them talked about family affairs.
It's not just that they didn't come to ask Feng Xue, there are many aristocratic young people in the hall who are not yet adults, or who have just reached adulthood but have not yet married, but there are no related topics around them, no, there are still some, such as talking about the legendary Jiang girl?
Wait!many?
Feng Xue's brows suddenly only furrowed, if it was just an ordinary noble friendship, with the speed at which the human race was spreading out now, it was not surprising that so many young people appeared in the Xu royal family.
But here, it's the royal palace!
This is a royal family banquet!
According to the situation in previous years, only the powerful nobles of the important cities of Xu State are eligible to participate, but how can there be so many people this year?
Could it be ......
Feng Xue frowned, she thought that the competitors were only three princes and herself, but looking at this battle, all the young people of school age were called.
What a big deal!
Feng Xue sighed secretly in her heart, if they all died, the Xu royal family was afraid that they would be cut off, right?
Of course, it is definitely impossible to be an heir, even if King Xu is only in his forties now, it is no problem to have a few more litters.
And for Feng Xue, this is not a good thing-
After all, there are so many people who share the risk!
After all, there is a saying that says it well -
You don't need to run faster than the beast, you just need to run faster than your peers!

ps: Don't ask if the Xia Dynasty has a bell jade chime, anyway, these two Shang Dynasty have, and the flower culture Xia Dynasty has almost nothing circulating, I can't take the Liangzhu civilization hard set, right?
