I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

The banquet that the Great Zhou hosted for this foreign prince was held in the Chaolu Palace next to the Imperial Garden.

Today, the Imperial Garden is also open.

The ministers and their families who were invited to the banquet could all drink tea, play chess, appreciate the flowers and have fun in the imperial garden.

Bai Qiu Ming and Bai Yu Shuang were picked up by the eunuchs from the palace at the post station.

In addition, there are envoys from Qiu Ci Kingdom.

Qiu Ciguo is located in the grassland, and the clothing also has the unique fabric style of the grassland area.

So as soon as he arrived, he attracted everyone's attention.

Most of these looks were filled with curiosity.

But there was one look that was particularly different.

As a celebrity, you are particularly sensitive to the camera and other people's gazes.

Bai Qiu Ming immediately looked in the direction of that gaze.

Then, he saw a man dressed in white, looking like a leisurely nobleman.

Bai Qiu Ming instantly determined the other party's identity.

The fourth prince of the fourth lunar month, Zhou Chen.

In the plot, it is said that the Fourth Prince likes to wear white clothes and has a handsome and elegant appearance.

But Bai Qiu Ming took a closer look at this person and found that his facial features were quite ordinary when viewed individually, but they were very attractive when put together.

Handsome? I can’t tell.

He is very extraordinary and he pretends to be quite convincing.

Why did Bai Qiu Ming know that the other party was pretending?

It is also very simple.

Don't forget that Bai Qiu Ming's profession is an actor.

Can't he tell whether a person's current facial expressions and actions are acting?

Zhou Chen's expressions and movements are very natural.

But his eyes betrayed him.

When he looked at Bai Qiu Ming, his eyes were filled with calculation and exploitation.

A truly transcendent person would not be like this.

Seeing Bai Qiu Ming looking over, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and nodded slightly at him.

Bai Qiu Ming smiled even happier than him.

It was like meeting a good friend whom I hadn't seen for years.

Compare your acting skills with his?

Let’s see who performed better!

Bai Qiu Ming not only smiled, he also walked towards the pavilion where Zhou Chen was while smiling.

There will always be a price to pay for instigating someone to assassinate him.

He won't kill people, but that doesn't mean he is a living Buddha.

Since Zhou Chen had plotted against him, he would of course plot against him back.

Don’t you want to hide behind Zhou Ji as a shield and be free and easy?

He just wanted everyone to notice him!

Seeing Bai Qiu Ming walking directly towards him, Zhou Chen almost cursed to death in his heart.

As a prince of a foreign country, Bai Qiu Ming is now the focus of everyone's attention.

If he walked towards him, wouldn't that make him attract everyone's attention?

No matter how much Zhou Chen cursed in his heart, he couldn't just turn around and leave.

Otherwise it would be more conspicuous.

"Your Highness Bai, I've heard a lot about you." Zhou Chen stood up and clasped his fists.

"Who are you?" Bai Qiu Ming asked knowingly.

"My name is Zhou Chen." Zhou Chen smiled faintly.

"Oh~" Bai Qiu Ming pretended to understand something: "So it's you!"

Zhou Chen was a little surprised when he heard this: "His Highness Bai knows me?"

"Of course." Bai Qiu Ming smiled.

For some reason, Zhou Chen always had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Bai Qiuming continued, "My mother said that among the princes of the Great Zhou, the Fourth Prince is the one she likes the most."

Zhou Chen: “……!”

"My mother said that you, Fourth Prince, are the best candidate for the crown prince," Bai Qiu Ming continued.

Zhou Chen: “……!!!”

"Your Highness Bai!" Zhou Chen was anxious and interrupted Bai Qiu Ming's words.

If it is said that Queen Qiu Ciguo is optimistic about him, it can also be explained that she likes his non-competitive character.

But to say that he is most suitable to be the crown prince is a big problem.

It was a coincidence that just when Bai Qiu Ming said this, Crown Prince Zhou Ji came to the imperial garden wearing a gorgeous red robe.

He must have heard what was just said.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone saluted in unison.

Bai Qiu Ming also held his left shoulder and bowed slightly.

"Everyone, please stand up. No need to be so polite." Zhou Ji asked everyone to stand up first, and then he looked at Bai Qiu Ming.

Everyone was looking at the two of them at this moment.

Just now, this foreign prince said that the Fourth Prince is the best candidate for the Crown Prince.

Now that the prince himself has arrived, something big is going to happen.

The Crown Prince of their Great Zhou was famous for his bad temper.

This foreign prince said that the Fourth Prince was the best candidate to be the Crown Prince, which meant he was denying the current Crown Prince.

This... is going to be a good show.

But they didn't dare to look.

Everyone wanted to get away quickly.

But they left when the prince came. Doesn't this mean they don't respect the prince?

"Just now I heard from Prince Bai that fourth brother is the best candidate to be the crown prince, is that right?" Zhou Ji looked at Bai Qiu Ming and asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Bai Qiuming to answer, Zhou Chen at the side quickly spoke up: "Your Highness, I believe that Your Highness is the only crown prince of the Great Zhou."

Then Zhou Chen turned to Bai Qiu Ming and said, "Your Highness Bai, please stop joking. I just want to be an idle prince after His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne."

"A joke?" Bai Qiuming was puzzled. "But did my mother really say that?"

"Prince Bai's mother is a heroine. She would not speak casually. It seems that you, my fourth brother, are a talented person. How about I give you the position of crown prince?" Zhou Ji looked at Zhou Chen with a smile.

Originally, when he arrived at the Imperial Garden, he was quite angry when he heard Bai Qiu Ming's words.

But when he got closer, he discovered Bai Qiu Ming's purpose.

He originally wanted to bring Zhou Chen into the public eye, so of course he had to cooperate with Bai Qiu Ming.

Seeing Zhou Chen so scared that he broke out in cold sweat, he felt extremely happy.

After he entered the palace yesterday, he chatted with his mother for a long time, and he really learned a lot of secrets.

Bai Qiu Ming's mother, whose surname was Shen and whose name was Shen Liyue, was the legitimate daughter of the current Marquis Dingguo.

Back then, she and the current emperor were indeed discussing marriage.

The emperor at that time was just a prince.

Just the day before everything was about to be settled, Shen Liyue accidentally fell into the water.

After waking up, her temperament changed drastically, and her marriage with the current emperor was not finalized due to her firm opposition.

But the emperor at that time was naturally unwilling to give in and continued to pester her.

Later, the border was defeated and the Great Zhou needed to exchange marriage for peace.

At that time, the late emperor had only one daughter, whom he doted on like a treasure, so naturally he was unwilling to send her as a marriage partner.

Shen Liyue took the initiative to ask for the marriage.

The late emperor really couldn't bear to part with his only daughter, so he agreed.

Shen Liyue was given the royal surname, conferred the title of princess, and sent to the Qiuci Kingdom to marry.

Most people don't know these things so clearly.

But Queen Feng of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Shen Liyue were close friends, so she knew it so clearly.

The reason why she wanted Princess Jing'an to marry Bai Qiu Ming was because she knew that Shen Liyue might make things difficult for any other children of Emperor Zhou, but not for her daughter.

As for why Shen Liyue wanted to make things difficult for the children of Emperor Zhou, the reason was because of Zhou Chen’s mother, Concubine Xuan.
