Be a man today too!

After drinking the imperial tea, even if the birthday celebration is completed, the two of them should return to their seats after returning the gift.

At this time, the hearts of the ministers who heard the conversation just now became active. What does His Majesty mean by this?Originally thought that the prince of Xiangbei would be neglected, but he didn't expect that His Majesty treated him well, and his words were very decent. If this is the case, then the previous attitude will not work.

In the blink of an eye, many people had some calculations in their hearts.

Especially when the Crown Prince and Prince Xiangbei walked down the steps together, everyone couldn't help but look up.

These people are all high officials of the imperial court, and they are also officials in the capital. They have all seen the prince and know the prince's usual temperament. It is rare to see the prince in such a warm and friendly manner. It's smoothed out, not only does it not have a sense of distance that rejects people thousands of miles away, but what's even more unbelievable is that there seems to be a smile in it. Is this true?

And more people have never seen the Prince of Xiangbei, even though a small number of them had glimpsed at the beginning of the banquet, they didn't dare to look at it more, and now they have a careful look.

I saw that Prince Xiangbei's son was really good-looking and quite handsome, as rumored, and he was not suppressed when he walked beside His Highness the Crown Prince, on the contrary, he had a feeling of complementing each other.

And if anyone among them was the most surprised, then it must be Wang Heng.

Wang Heng never expected to receive several blows one after another tonight!The two people he wanted to take revenge on were actually the heir of King Xiangbei, and the other was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the most frightening thing was that he had uttered nonsense in front of King Xiangbei just now, saying that he wanted to make the Crown Prince look good!

What Wang Heng was even more afraid of was that fortunately he didn't say the word "concubine", otherwise he would be accused of spreading rumors about the royal family. After all, there is no special relationship between the Prince of Xiangbei and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But Wang Heng thought about it again, why did the prince want to befriend the Prince of Xiangbei?

Besides, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?

Wang Heng seldom used his brain to think about things so hard in the past. He lived in his fief for 20 years under the shade of his father. As his father's only son, he also had a sister who was very much loved by the emperor. He doesn't have to worry about his future, nor does he have to worry about having no one to rely on, so Wang Heng's daily life has always been muddled, but he is also very happy.

But at this moment, Wang Heng sensed a sense of crisis in the dark, and this kind of crisis suddenly cleared up his brain a lot.

He was thinking hard now, and he really came up with a lot of clues.

Judging from the attitude of Prince Xiangbei towards him just now, he has known his identity for a long time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows it very well, so these two people joined forces to design him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a very close relationship with the Prince of Xiangbei, and the two have secretly colluded for a long time. Could it be that there is an order from the King of Xiangbei behind them?

Thinking of this, Wang Heng felt a little chilly in his heart. After all, his purpose of coming to the capital this time was not so simple, but because of the invitation of the second prince Ji Jingchen.

Wang Heng is naturally very supportive of his nephew, the second prince, but in the letter, the second prince said that the prince is deeply disliked by His Majesty, so his father thought that the second prince might have some chances, and then asked him to take someone to personally investigate current situation.

As for the situation just now, Wang Heng was not sure what His Majesty's attitude towards His Highness the Crown Prince was. When he saw that His Majesty hadn't drunk the tea at first, he thought it was really as indifferent as the letter said, but His Highness the Crown Prince made a rescue. Sometimes, it doesn't seem to be the case.

But no matter what, Wang Heng knew a little bit at this time, if he really waited for His Highness the Crown Prince who had a rift with him to ascend the throne, then he would not be able to live comfortably in the future.

Besides, Wang Heng felt that the title of "Marquis of Qi" was a bit low. It would be great if he could add a first class!

I have to think about how to make my father make up his mind. Of course, I have to tell my father the news that the prince of Xiangbei and His Royal Highness have a close relationship.

At this time, Chi Yuan also sat down with the prince.

But after Chi Yuan sat down, he felt a little uncomfortable after all. After all, he and the prince were really on good terms before, and they almost talked about everything, but now they didn't know what to say.

But fortunately, the birthday banquet was still going on at this time, and there were still many people who needed to come forward to celebrate their birthdays, so the silence between the two came just right.

After Chi Yuan collected his mood, he turned his head to look at the front of the hall, watching the birthday ceremony that will follow.

But at this moment, he found that His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have no interest in the rest of the etiquette, and had been sitting upright without changing his expression.

Chi Yuan couldn't help admiring the other party's strict and abiding attitude, so he looked at the other party a few more times, and the next order of birthday celebrations was the emperor's sons, who stepped forward one by one.

At this time, the courtiers in the palace were even more serious. After all, the emperor's annual birthday was rarely held as big as this one, but this time it was different.

Many people knew that this birthday banquet was not that simple, because this birthday banquet was jointly held by the crown prince and the second prince, so they could not only see some clues from the emperor's attitude towards the two sons, but also from the The emperor said he guessed one or two.

And the second prince's birthday celebration was obviously carefully crafted, using a line of poetry, which not only made the emperor very happy, but also received a line of praise.

However, the emperor did not drink the second cup of tea, but let the third prince come forward.

Seeing the third prince Ji Rongchen standing up, Chi Yuan also looked at him. After all, it was said in the book that the third prince is the emperor's most beloved son.

But what makes Chi Yuan a little curious is that the performance of the second prince just now is enough to satisfy the emperor, what can the third prince do?Because the gifts for this birthday banquet were sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in advance, the advantage of this is that there is no need for princes and ministers to spend all their time trying to make some very rare things to compare in the palace, and there is no need to worry about whether His Majesty will satisfy.

So Chi Yuan became even more curious, what method will the third prince use to make the emperor happy?

To Chi Yuan's surprise, the third prince said a very flat birthday greeting, even shorter than Chi Yuan's. Words? Look at your second brother, how well you just said it! I think you are just perfunctory!"

This sentence is a bit heavy, and Chi Yuan did not expect such an episode, so he raised his eyebrows with some doubts. At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside him suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Father, what is the matter?" It's feigning anger, you don't have to... worry."

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness would explain in a low voice, Chi Yuan was a little surprised, and at the same time felt that the other party seemed to have no grudges against him, and instead took care of him as before.

So what the prince means is that you want to expose the past article?

This is a surprise!

Chi Yuan couldn't help but smiled and nodded in response.

And what happened next was exactly as the prince said, seeing that the emperor seemed to be angry, the third prince immediately said: "Father, how dare I, it's just that the second brother said it too well, Zhuyu is in front, I am not as good as the second brother in any way, simply Just a few brief words, so that the ministers behind don’t know what to say, and I know that my father has always favored me, so I don’t think I will be angry, father, don’t you think so?”

After finishing these words, the emperor just laughed and cursed a few words, stopped talking, and asked the two youngest sons to come up together.

The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are very obedient at this time, like two little dumplings, they feel cute when they look at them.

But what was a little surprising was that the emperor treated the two of them very generally, he just said a few words, and let them go down together after drinking tea.

After a while, all the first-rank princes had given tea, and after the ceremony, it was time to serve the banquet. At this time, there was a maid at each table.

, Pour fine wine for the ministers.

And now is the time to speak up.
