It has been five days since Xiang Ming returned to Longchuan City, but his hanging heart has not been able to sink for a moment, there is only one reason, that is, so far, his national master has not moved at all, and he has not even left the national teacher's mansion, nor has he summoned anyone else, as if nothing happened.

Although the national master said that Meng Juntong would be fine, Xiang Ming was not at ease.

Now he is one of the princes of the Xiang family, and in recent days, the elders of his direct family have come to visit him in his courtyard.

Even if he was not optimistic about Xiang Ming before, now he is indispensable to be respectful when he sees the new prince.

Although the vast majority of people still feel that Xiang Ming has no chance to fight for the throne of that king, his business is too shallow compared to the other princes, even if it is much worse than the youngest prince of the same generation, let alone the uncle's generation.

Perhaps a few years ago, these issues were the first thing Xiang Ming would consider. In this position, he had to do everything he could right. Make good friends with those who also want to make friends with you, whether they are sincere or purely to leave a way back for themselves, Xiang Ming will not let go of this opportunity to attract supporters.

But now, Xiang Ming is unwilling, and can even be said to be a little disgusted to do these things.

"Childe, the Ninth Prince's Mansion came to visit today, do you want to see it?"

The maidservant Qingluan was the maid who Xiang Ming chose to go to his room before he left the Chu State.

When she was just sent to Xiang Ming's house, this girl was in her early tens, but now she is also slim. A pair of crescent-like eyes look like they are clear and cute.

Although it can't be said that the skin is like condensed fat and the eyebrows are like distant mountains, but in the Xiang family, the girl is obviously well maintained, and she is much more agile than her peers outside the mansion.

Xiang Ming sat in the study, holding the scroll in his hand, but his attention was not on the pearl words on the book.

"Childe?" Seeing that Xiang Ming didn't answer himself, Qingluan took a few steps forward lightly and called again, which pulled Xiang Ming's thoughts back.

Xiang Ming raised his head slightly and looked at Qingluan, looking at that beautiful face, I don't know why, Xiang Ming felt that Qingluan was born a little like Meng Juntong, he quickly shook his head gently, and sighed with a wry smile in his heart: "Qingluan, what are you looking for me?"

Qingluan Fox looked at Xiang Ming suspiciously: "Childe, what's wrong with you lately, looking at the soul that you can't keep up, are you sick, do you want me to find a doctor for you." ”

Xiang Ming waved his hand: "Maybe the previous fatigue has not eased up, you don't have to worry about me, what did you say just now?"

Qingluan was still a little worried, but he didn't say anything, and once again informed the information about the visit of the Ninth Prince.

The ninth grandfather is Xiang Ming's ninth uncle, who is considered to be from his father's generation.

Two days ago, Xiang Ming had already refused to meet many people in the clan who wanted to come to him for various reasons.

It's just that when he heard that it was the Ninth Prince, Xiang Ming still stood up, and he still had to see this person.

Xiang Ming knew that the Ninth Duke came to see him and had nothing to do with whether he had won the prince or not.

He clearly remembered that when he was ordered to be the commander of the Qin Dragon Shadow Forbidden Army, the ninth uncle and master ran to the head of the family and made a fuss, saying that he wanted to keep Xiang Ming behind.

Maybe Uncle Jiu's long-term thinking about the problem is not as good as that of the national teacher Luo Wushuang, but his love for Xiang Ming is real.

Among the many uncles and brothers, the ninth uncle loves Xiang Ming the most, and the swordsmanship enlightenment when he was a child was taught to him by the ninth uncle himself.

It was also this old man, when he saw his brother's bright light and lost his self-confidence, he ran over to comfort him and help him firm up on the path he wanted to take in martial arts.

Xiang Ming soon came to the door, and saw a man with a long hair and a little girl in a red robe standing there.

"Ninth Uncle," Xiang Ming walked a few steps forward quickly, and was about to bow his hand.

The long-haired man was faster, and he directly grabbed Xiang Ming's arm: "Get up, dignified prince, how can you make such a big gift to people." The man helped Xiang Ming up, and his eyes were full of joy: "Good! It's good! It's really good!" He said a few good words in a row, and it could be seen that he was really satisfied with the current Xiang Ming.

"The sword is sharpened, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the bitter people don't deceive me, I admit that I was short-sighted at the time, and I just wanted to be able to leave you in Longchuan City, and almost ruined your big material. ”

Xiang Ming shook his head: "Ninth uncle, it's just good luck." ”

"Uncle," a crisp girl's voice sounded, and the red-robed little girl poked her head out from behind Uncle Jiu, and called at Xiang Ming timidly.

Xiang Ming suddenly understood something, and he opened his mouth slightly: "This is Xiao Xuan?

The long-haired man laughed, stepped forward and patted Xiang Ming's shoulder: "That's not it, when you left, this girl was still in her mother's belly, and at that time, your brother Xiang Kun also said that when your kid comes back from the mission in the Qin State, he will marry Xiao Xuanzi to you." ”

Xiang Ming and Xiang Xuan's faces were slightly red, and Xiang Ming hurriedly said, "Uncle Jiu, what are you talking nonsense, we are ......"

"You kid, who pestered your sister-in-law every day, yelling that you want to wait for your daughter-in-law! Uncle Nine said with a playful expression.

Xiang Ming's face turned even redder: "How can a child be serious when he speaks," he hurriedly turned his head to the red-robed little girl and smiled: "Xuan'er was born so beautifully, maybe she can become a princess and queen in the future." ”

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense," Xiang Xuan's cheeks were crimson, and his head shrank into the placket.

"Alright, let's stop standing outside, let's go inside and sit down for a while. Xiang Ming led Uncle Nine and Xiang Xuan into the house.

The maid Qingluan had already prepared refreshments for the guests, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

"Originally, I wanted to come to see you a few days ago, but I heard that you refused a lot of uncles and brothers who came to the door, so I thought that maybe you were a little inconvenient. ”

Xiang Ming smiled bitterly: "It's not inconvenient, it's just that I suddenly don't want to deal with it." ”

Uncle Jiu looked at Xiang Ming with a somewhat complicated expression: "Xiao Ming, you have really changed a lot, you were not like this in the past." ”

"Maybe I've grown up," Xiang Ming smiled, unwilling to dwell on this topic.

He himself felt that his current self seemed to be less sharp than before, and he also had a lot less obsession with that high position.

He wanted to be able to see someone as quickly as possible than the crown.
