Chu Ling wanted to use coercion to suppress Xie Ni, but he really used the wrong trick.

Xie Ni had never lost in terms of momentum. He slowly stroked the wrinkles on his sleeves, then looked at Chu Ling with half-squinted eyes, and adjusted his sitting posture at will, "I don't know what identity Prince Chu is talking to me now. ?”

Chu Ling was stunned for a moment.

There was a smile in Gu Nazhi's eyes.

Xie Ni poured himself a cup of fruit tea, he took a sip slowly, and then said: "If His Highness speaks to me as a prince of another country, I'm sorry, but this is not above the court, and I have no obligation to answer Prince Chu's questions. "

His words seemed to give Chu Ling inspiration. He looked at Gu Nanzhi affectionately, "Princess Gu Yi's fiancée asked Sir Xie, wouldn't Sir Xie also answer?"

Xie Ni raised his eyebrows, "Oh! So the prince is talking to me as Zhizhi's fiancée!"

Chu Ling looked like he had the upper hand and looked at Xie Ni with provocative eyes.

Suddenly he changed the topic, "Master Gu and I have always treated each other as brothers, so please, Prince, please call me uncle first!"

Chu Ling, "..."

what?

He is the prince of the country, why should he call him uncle?

Does he fit?

The smile in Gu Nanzhi's eyes almost overflowed. If there were no outsiders, she would definitely laugh out loud.

She gave Xie Ni a teasing look, Mr. Xie, I'm afraid you have forgotten how many times you have received this title!

Then she looked at Chu Ling with a faint look in her eyes, "Are you unwilling, Your Highness the Crown Prince? It's because I have a humble status and am not of true royal blood, so how can I be worthy of the Crown Prince!"

After saying this, she lowered her eyes and never looked at Chu Ling again.

Xie Ni's eyes were full of sarcasm, "Is this the sincerity of Prince Chu? Please don't say the word sincerity again in the future, otherwise it will tarnish these two words."

The two of them sang together, and Chu Ling was not stupid. "In the past, did the princess just call me uncle, sir?"

Gu Nanzhi answered frankly, "Of course I didn't use it before, but now I have to use this status to get along with Mr. Xie."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Chu Ling and asked, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince think this shouldn't be the case?"

What she said left Chu Ling speechless. He gritted his teeth and asked him to call Uncle Xie Ni, but he really couldn't do it.

Gu Nanzhi said nothing, she looked away, Yun Danfeng looked at the incense beside her, and then added some fruit tea to Xie Ni.

She and Xie Ni looked at each other, and Xie Ni naturally took it and started drinking.

The two men left Chu Ling aside.

After a while, his eyes darkened, and he forced out two words from his throat, "Ah, uncle."

Xie Ni was stunned, "What did Prince Chu just say? I was in a daze just now and didn't hear it clearly. Please ask the prince to repeat it again."

Gu Nazhi looked sideways at Chu Ling and listened to his nonsense.

Chu Ling suddenly clenched his fists. He was sure that Xie Ni did this on purpose.

Gu Nanzhi looked innocent and blinked, "Did His Highness the Crown Prince call me just now?"

Chu Ling, "..."

No, both men did it on purpose.

It happened that he couldn't break up with them yet, so he smiled stiffly without realizing it, "I just called Mr. Xie, uncle."

"Hey!" Xie Ni answered the question naturally. Then he calmly took out a piece of silver from his sleeve pocket and placed it in front of Chu Ling. "This is my first meeting gift to my nephew-in-law. Please don't ask for it." Rejection is the answer.”

The ingot of silver is not very big, about ten taels of silver.

At this moment, Chu Ling just wanted to pick up this ingot of silver, and then throw it at Xie Ni's face. He was a dignified prince, did he need this ingot of silver?

This is not a meeting gift, it is clearly humiliating him.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xie Ni frowned and asked, "Does the nephew-in-law think he is too young? Is it because the elders have given him such a gift, or does the nephew-in-law not even understand this rule?"

Gu Nanzhi watched the show with peace of mind.

"Thank you." Chu Ling was helpless after being told by Xie Ni, and then he took the silver ingot filled with humiliation. He thought to himself that now he had no reason to find trouble!

Unexpectedly, after he took the ten taels of silver, Xie Ni leisurely stretched out his hand to him.

Chu Ling was confused, "Master Xie, what are you doing?"

Gu Nanzhi didn't understand what he meant.

Xie Ni stretched out his hand again, "Why did you accept my gift? Don't you need to return the gift?"

Gu Nazhi nodded, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not aware of this. We, the Wei Dynasty, do have this rule. His Highness represents the entire Chu State. It is better not to lose etiquette. If word spreads, it will not only lose the face of His Highness."

Chu Ling did not have the habit of carrying money with him. "I don't know the etiquette of Wei. If I don't prepare anything today, I can make up for it some other time."

Xie Nizi would not give him this chance. He waved his long arm and pulled off the jade pendant tied to his waist. "Niece-in-law, this is fine. I won't pick it."

Chu Ling watched helplessly as the jade pendant on his waist was dragged away by Xie Ni, who said he didn't want to pick it.

He was given ten taels of silver in exchange for a priceless jade pendant. How could he have the nerve to say such a thing.

He was so angry that his chest felt tight.

"Why are you reluctant to let go of your nephew? If you don't want to let go, just say so. I can return it to you." Xie Ni deliberately waved the jade pendant in front of him.

"Yes, if the prince is reluctant to give up, he can just say so." Gu Nazhi agreed.

Chu Ling took a deep breath and said, "No, it's just a jade pendant. I'm not that stingy."

He just felt that his heart attack was severe.

"Why doesn't the Crown Prince drink tea? But Wei's tea is not to your Highness's liking." Gu Nanzhi said, looking at the fruit tea in front of him.

Chu Ling forced out a smile and said, "Yes, I can't get used to your Wei Kingdom's tea."

"That's such a pity, our tea in Wei has a different taste." Gu Nazhi looked regretful.

Seeing her look like this, Chu Ling didn't dare to drink.

Gu Nanzhi's eyes were dark. She had given Chu Ling a chance. He was afraid that she would poison the tea, but he didn't know that the real poison was the incense on the side, and this tea was the antidote.

Soon they arrived at Gu's house.

The carriage stopped.

The coachman stepped forward and set up the horse stool.

Qianyue helped Gu Nanzhi get out of the carriage, followed closely by Xie Ni, and finally Chu Ling got off.

His carriage followed closely behind.

Seeing Xie Ni walking towards Gu's house, Chu Ling glanced at him and said, "Master Xie, why don't you go back? Can someone send you back?"

"I was uncle just now, and now I am Mr. Xie. My nephew and son-in-law have changed so quickly. I'm going to pay a visit to Mr. Gu now that he's here. Is there anything wrong?" Xie Ni paused and looked back. Looking at him, "It's true that my nephew and son-in-law came to the door so rashly. Have you prepared a meeting gift for your future father-in-law?"

As he spoke, he looked Chu Ling up and down, and sighed: "I'm quite fooled, but you don't have any jade pendants on you anymore. Even if you want to deal with Master Gu, you won't be able to do it."
