Chapter 30
Therefore, the third prince nodded, and he also saw it from the corner of his eye.

It is inevitable that I feel contempt for this prince. Even such a matter depends on the opinion of the third prince. He is indeed the rumored incompetent idiot.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and thank you, the Third Prince." Zhang Hongye knelt down to thank him. With His Highness the Crown Prince's words, it meant support, and he should thank you.

Beiping Hou was quite satisfied with Zhang Hongye's performance, and said again: "I have prepared a banquet, and it should be ready by now, please move your Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince."

A few people moved forward, the good wine and food were ready, and they sat down politely.

After three glasses of wine, the prince wanted to mention the woman, but he didn't know how to speak.

Beipinghou treated him politely and gave him face. At the dinner table, he praised him repeatedly, which made him very happy.

"Well... Beipinghou, it's almost time for the draft..." the prince stammered.

I don't know why, if it was before, he would never be like this, he wanted it if he wanted it.

But today I met that woman in the garden, knowing her temperament, I was afraid that I would offend Hou Beiping, make her unhappy, and have a bad impression of myself.

Therefore, it can only be lifted from the side.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?" Beipinghou asked as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"I heard that the Marquis of Beiping has several daughters." The prince felt that what he said was very clear, and the Marquis of Beiping should not fail to understand.

Hou Beiping cupped his hands and said to him with a smile: "It seems that the reputation of the minister's daughter has already stayed in the capital, and even His Royal Highness knows about it."

"It's a pity...the minister's daughter-in-law went to the palace to study with Princess Changle for many years. After she came back, she was taken care of by the queen and was named the princess of Chang'an. After she came back, she couldn't get sick..." Beipinghou still had resentment in his heart, but With a smile on his mouth, people can't see it.

The prince felt that Hou Beiping had misunderstood him, and he was not talking about the princess of Chang'an, so he was anxious.

The third prince is not a fool, even though Beipinghou didn't show it on his face, he could still feel Beipinghou's resentment.

Princess Changle is the younger sister of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the Empress is the queen mother of His Highness the Crown Prince. Both of them have something to do with him. I am afraid that the Prince of Peiping actually does not like the Crown Prince.

"House of Beiping, I'm talking about the other daughters." The prince was anxious, so he had to make it more obvious.

"Other daughters? Chen's other daughters are not yet old enough to be drafted. I'm afraid they won't be able to participate this year." Bei Ping Hou said this, expressing regret.

He heard that the prince is not good enough, and when he saw him today, it was indeed so.

Zhang Anchu was a good move in his hands, but he couldn't play it lightly.

Now that the second prince is very powerful, after three years, maybe what will happen, we have to wait and see.

"Under the age?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not expect that the woman she saw today was obviously tall, and it seemed that she should have grown up.

Seeing the prince's performance, the third prince was speechless, so eager...

He thought about it in his heart, and he was afraid that the image of the prince would be a little weaker in front of the Marquis of Beiping.

"The second and third daughters of the minister are both 15 years old this year, and they will be able to participate in the draft just three years later." Beipinghou raised his glass and greeted again: "Let's not talk about this, it will be three years later, my minister." To offer a cup to His Highness the Crown Prince, such an opportunity is rare, I must drink with His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The prince was very helpless, how could this happen?
Another three years to wait!

The crown prince's alcohol capacity is not bad in the palace, but compared with the old Jianghu winery in Beipinghou, it is far behind.

After a banquet, he was already very drunk.

The third prince was sober, but in order not to drink too much and stay sober, he had already lay down on the table and pretended to be drunk.

Since he can't drink, he can still hide.

Beiping Hou snorted coldly in his heart, these little guys are far worse than his grandfather!

Beiping Hou arranged for someone to carry the two of them out, then returned to the study and called the eldest son Zhang Hongye over.

Zhang Hongye didn't drink much wine today, mainly because he poured too much for the three of them.

"Father." Zhang Hongye looked solemn. Although he was not as well informed as Beiping Hou, but today at the wine table, he was a clear bystander and could understand a lot.

"Hongye, what do you think of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Hou Beiping felt bitter in his mouth, picked up the tea on the table to rinse his mouth, and waited for his answer.

Zhang Hongye shook his head and said, "My son is not optimistic about His Highness the Crown Prince."

At the banquet, he heard that His Royal Highness was most concerned about the draft, and combined with what the housekeeper said today, he probably fell in love with Zhang Anchu.

She is so lustful, and after drinking, her true colors are revealed, she looks like a wine bag, which is really not a good choice.

Bei Pinghou nodded, as if agreeing with his thoughts.

"Then what do you think of the Third Prince?" Bei Ping Hou turned around and asked.

Zhang Hongye shook his head again, and replied: "My son can't understand the third prince."

It's really that the third prince talks too little and has no sense of presence.

But such a person is even more terrifying.

If you talk too much, you will make mistakes, but if he talks too little, you don't understand what he is thinking at all.

"The third prince is so scheming at such a young age, it's really rare..." Bei Pinghou said with his hands behind his back.

Although Zhang Hongye couldn't understand, he did see something. First, the third prince pretended to be drunk. Secondly, His Royal Highness seemed to regard him as the leader and valued him very much.

Even if there were few words during the dinner, his complexion did not change at all, but the more he was like this, the more Hou Beiping couldn't underestimate him.

"Father takes a fancy to the third prince?"

"Everything is unknown, and only time can tell. Now the capital is in full swing, and it should be soon..." Beiping Hou knew that this time was the most critical time.

But the prince is still thinking about women, it is really useless, he can sit on the throne, he is really blind!

However, the crown prince is the first son and the eldest son, and he inherits the throne, which is justified.

"Old Li."

Hou Beiping called the housekeeper outside the door, and the housekeeper pushed the door open when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"You instruct Professor Shen to lead the third lady to the garden to practice dancing tomorrow, and you will arrange the rest." Beiping Hou has already made a plan in his heart. No matter who wins, their Beiping Hou Mansion will be the final winner.

"Yes." The butler withdrew. He had been with Beiping for many years, so he naturally knew his plan.

"Father, if it's cold today, how can I let my third sister go to the garden to practice dancing? What's more, there are male guests in the mansion." Zhang Hongye felt that this was against the rules, and he was afraid of freezing Zhang Anchu.

Over the years, Zhang Anchu has always asked him questions. Every time he teaches, it is like reviewing and deepening his memory.

It looked like he was helping Zhang Anchu, but in fact, he knew that he was also a beneficiary.

"Hongye, this is what my father wants to teach you. In the future, the Hou Mansion will be handed over to you. A family like the Hou Mansion will share weal and woe."

Zhang Hongye lowered his head and asked, "Father's intention?"
