Chapter 193

The Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Wu is brightly lit.

There is a constant stream of people.

Today is Su Zhijing's reception banquet, all officials of high rank who are in the imperial capital have received invitations to come to the palace to attend the reception banquet.

The prince rode a white horse as tall as a man, and came to the palace majesticly, with a high-spirited appearance, even a blind man could see the pride in the prince's heart.

After the news of the marriage spread, in just a few days, the trend of seizing the heir apparent changed dramatically.

The crown prince, who was already in danger, suddenly took the position of crown prince again. There was a crowd of people, and every day, small and medium officials went to the East Palace to seek refuge.

These changes made the prince feel extremely sour, as if he had eaten iced watermelon during the dog days.

"I don't know what the fifth child's expression will be when he hears the news that I'm going to marry Su Zhijing!"

"It must be very exciting!"

"Hahahaha!"

The prince was secretly refreshed, and with a smile on his face, he walked briskly into the Tai Chi Hall.

In the Taiji Hall, many officials have gathered, and at a glance, it is full of nobles and purples.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"His Royal Highness!"

"Your Highness embraced the beauty back home. I don't know when the next official will be able to drink the wedding wine?"

……

The prince had just entered the Tai Chi Hall, and many officials came forward to compliment him, and there was an endless stream of compliments, which lasted for a quarter of an hour without ending.

In the eyes of the other princes, the prince's glorious appearance was particularly dazzling.

The third prince watched this scene from a distance, clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, and there was a rattling sound in his fists.

Seeing the third prince's displeasure and a little disordered breath, the imperial servant Xia Ming comforted him and whispered in the third prince's ear.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient."

"Lord Xia, how can you make me not be impatient?" The third prince clenched his teeth, and his deep voice was full of resentment, "If the crown prince is allowed to marry Su Zhijing, won't Gu never have a chance to turn around?"

As Taipusi is a hardcore member of the Three Princes, the news that the prince is about to marry Su Zhijing naturally hit him hard.

However, facing the bad news in front of him, Xia Ming still held his breath, because he knew that someone was more urgent than them.

"Your Highness, someone is more anxious than you about the marriage between the crown prince and Su Zhijing." Xia Ming said slowly.

The third prince raised his brows, and his brows were full of depressed emotions.

"You mean old five?"

"Exactly!"

"Before the fifth prince was very powerful, he took down the two nine ministers, Shao Fuqing and Wei Weiqing. Most officials believed that it was only a matter of time before the fifth prince pulled the crown prince down."

"But once the news of the marriage came out, who else said that the Fifth Prince could take over?"

"The fifth prince is most anxious now. With the character of the fifth prince, he will definitely not sit still."

"Your Highness, just sit down and watch the battle between the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince."

Hearing Xia Ming's words, the third prince's heart moved slightly, and he was very disappointed. Although he wanted to use his strength, he couldn't think of a way to destroy the marriage between the prince and Su Zhijing, so he could only sit back and watch the prince grow up.

He found helplessly that his hope could only be pinned on the fifth prince, a competitor.

This feeling of powerlessness made the third prince unhappy and twisted.

Xia Ming seemed to have sensed the twist in the third prince's heart, and said slowly: "Your Highness, you must distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend."

"As long as the prince does not step down for a day, he will be the common enemy of you princes, and the fifth prince is your closest friend."

"The fifth prince hit the prince, it is your highness who hit the prince."

Xia Ming's words seemed to give the Third Prince an excuse to calmly accept the current situation.

It's just that both Xia Ming and the third prince knew the second half of what they didn't say.

When the prince steps down, these princes will change from close friends to irreconcilable enemies.

The officials complimented the prince for a quarter of an hour before gradually stopping.

The prince pulled out and looked around.

His gaze, from the third prince to the sixth prince to the seventh prince, finally stayed on Ji Tianci.

With a victor's smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, he walked briskly towards Ji Tianci.

This scene fell in the eyes of all officials.

Immediately, the officials present were excited, and they all looked like they were watching the show.

"Fifth, why don't you come to congratulate me, brother?" The prince said in a frivolous voice, with a playful smile on his face, full of provocation.

Facing the crown prince's embarrassment, Ji Tianci's face was calm and calm, as if he was not affected by the crown prince's provocation at all.

He raised his eyelids slightly, turned to look at the prince, and asked calmly.

"Congratulations on what?"

"Brother, what good thing do you have, why don't I know?"

"Also, elder brother, is your injury healed? If not, please return to your home to recuperate, so as not to cause any sequelae."

When Ji Tianci's words fell into the ears of the prince, it was undoubtedly a huge mockery and provocation.

injury?

This injury was not caused by Ji Tianci himself.

At this time, Ji Tianci's concerned words, in the eyes of the prince, were like a weasel greeting a chicken, uneasy and kind.

The prince's face was very stiff and ugly, as if he could wring out water.

However, when he thought of his upcoming marriage with Su Zhijing, the haze in the prince's heart was instantly blown away by the spring breeze.

Fifth child, he is jealous of me!
"Fifth, don't you know? Brother, I'm about to marry the princess of Han Kingdom."

"This princess of the Han Kingdom is incredible, she is no ordinary princess of the Han Kingdom."

"Su Zhijing is the number one beauty in the Han Kingdom, and she is much loved by the monarch of the Han Kingdom. When she was five years old, she was sent to practice under the great master of the medical family..."

The prince introduced Su Zhijing's situation to Ji Tianci like a few treasures.

From Su Zhijing's appearance, to Su Zhijing's doting, to Su Zhijing's mentorship, I can't wait to introduce Su Zhijing inside and out.

Ever since he learned that he was going to marry Su Zhijing, the prince had taken a fancy to Su Zhijing and ordered his servants to collect information on Su Zhijing.

The more he read Su Zhijing's information, the more satisfied he was with this marriage.

Whether in terms of appearance or family background, Su Zhijing was the best choice.

Even being a genuine crown princess is more than enough.

If it weren't for the current situation in Han country, the monarch of Han country would never marry Su Zhijing as his side concubine.

In particular, Su Zhijing's apprenticeship satisfied the prince even more.

Su Zhijing learned from the great master of the medical family, once Su Zhijing became her side concubine, it meant that he had the support of another great master.

Needless to say, the status of a grand master can be formed into an army by one person.

The support of one more great master is equivalent to having one hundred thousand more troops on hand.

Ji Tianci saw that the prince was so arrogant, with a smug smile on his face, he felt funny in his heart.

My stupid big brother didn't know that Su Zhijing didn't want to marry him at all.

Not only did she not want to marry, but in order not to marry the prince, she used her brains to pull the prince down.

If the prince knew about Su Zhijing's plan, would he be so angry that he vomited blood?

In Ji Tianci's eyes, the way the prince showed off in front of him was like a clown.

"Brother, you haven't married Su Zhijing yet, how do you know that there will be no change in this matter?" Ji Tianci smiled and said in a cold voice.

Hearing Ji Tianci's words, the prince was full of disdain and contempt.

"variable?"

"Where did the variable come from?"

"The matter of the marriage was personally decided by the father and the king of the Han Kingdom. Who can change it?"

"What if Su Zhijing doesn't want to marry herself?" Ji Tianci smiled lightly.

It's just that he was mercilessly ridiculed by the prince just as soon as he said his words.

"Don't want to marry?"

"This is a major national event, how can she, a weak woman, be able to refuse?"

The prince smiled contemptuously, not caring about Su Zhijing's own feelings at all.

The marriage of the two countries is a matter of great importance, and the complexity of the relationship is definitely not something that can be shaken by the will of a princess.

What's more, in the alliance between Wu State and Han State, there is no doubt that Wu State occupies the dominant position.

Su Zhijing doesn't want to marry?

Who gave her the courage to say this?
Seeing that the prince didn't believe him, Ji Tianci simply stopped talking, remained silent, and sat and watched the prince's wonderful expression for a while.

Seeing Ji Tianci's silence, the prince thought that Ji Tianci had nothing to say and was about to show weakness in this matter.

The joy in his heart was like ocean waves, one after another, seemingly endless.

How many years!

How many years!

When he confronted Lao Wu, he was the one who was at a disadvantage. It can be said that he suffered a lot.

Turning over today, seeing the bitter and jealous expression of the fifth child, the joy in the prince's heart is so hearty that it is impossible to describe it in words.

"Fifth, I know you are jealous that I can marry such a beautiful woman. Next time I have a chance, brother, I will definitely introduce some beauties to you."

"Hahaha!"

While the prince was speaking, his eyebrows were dancing and his brows were beaming with joy.

At this moment, the envoys of Han Kingdom finally came to the palace.

Located in the center of the envoys is the number one beauty of the Han Kingdom——Su Zhijing, the most beloved princess of the monarch of the Han Kingdom.

Today's Su Zhijing is wearing a gorgeous palace attire, which is obviously well-groomed. The makeup is exquisite and the appearance is beautiful, which can be described as overwhelming.

Looking forward to the beautiful eyes!

Qiaoxiaoqianxi!

As soon as she appeared, she attracted the attention of everyone present.

Everyone sighed with emotion, even felt jealous that the crown prince took such a huge advantage to marry Su Zhijing.

The point is not the crown princess, but just a side concubine of the crown prince.

If Han Kingdom hadn't been attacked from two sides, such a good thing would never have happened to the Prince.

When the prince saw Su Zhijing coming, the smile on his face became more intense.

The first time he saw Su Zhijing, he felt his heart was about to move.

Su Zhijing's beauty was three points more beautiful than in the portrait.

More importantly, he felt a different feeling from Su Zhijing's body.

Marrying Su Zhijing meant a slap in the face of the fifth child.

This hearty feeling is something that others cannot provide.

There was an upward arc on the corner of the prince's mouth, and he said to Ji Tianci smugly.

"Fifth brother, as the master, the eldest brother is going to entertain Her Highness the Princess."

"If there is a place that treats you poorly, please forgive me."

In the words of the prince, he seemed to regard himself as the master of the palace.

In his opinion, his position as prince is as stable as Mount Tai.

Ascension to the throne is just a matter of time.

Sooner or later, this magnificent imperial palace will welcome its own master.

He was just treating Han's envoys as a master in advance.

The prince strode towards Su Zhijing in a majestic manner, flaunting it arrogantly, as if he wanted to show his best side in front of Su Zhijing.

"His Royal Highness, all civil and military officials are here today, let me introduce you!"

With that said, the prince took the initiative to pull Su Zhijing's hand.

Su Zhijingqiong wrinkled her nose, suppressing the displeasure in her heart and suppressing the disgust in her eyes.

Before the crown prince took Su Zhijing's hand, she cleverly avoided it.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness."

"I have already read the information on the civil and military officials of Wu State, and I don't need your Highness to introduce you."

The prince's face was refuted by Su Zhijing in public, his face instantly became stiff and gloomy, with an indescribable embarrassment.

Especially the faint dislike and disdain in Su Zhijing's eyes deeply stimulated the prince.

"This bitch!"

"As the princess of the Han Kingdom, I don't know how dangerous the Han Kingdom is at this time. Instead of trying to please me, she actually dares to hate Gu."

"Who gave you the courage?"

Thick resentment and resentment hovered in the prince's heart like a poisonous snake, and grew wildly in the prince's heart like vines and weeds.

"Baby maid, when you marry into the mansion, I will let you kneel outside the door for three days and three nights." The prince thought darkly in his heart.

It's just that these dark thoughts are silent.In front of civil and military officials, he still has to show a graceful demeanor.

Su Zhijing didn't know the dark thoughts in the prince's heart, her eyes were shining brightly, scanning all the civil and military officials present.

She is looking for the fifth son.

According to her understanding of the fifth son, the fifth son is a member of Wu's officialdom, his status is not low, and he is a hardcore member of the five princes' party.

Then the fifth son will definitely attend today's welcome banquet.

Although before she came to Wu State, she read through the information about Wu State's officialdom.

But the information about Wu Guo's officialdom is so complicated, it made her dizzy.

Coupled with the fact that there are so many officials in the palace today, she couldn't find out the real body of the Fifth Young Master for a while.

Just when Su Zhijing was dizzy and struggling to find someone, Ji Tianci took the initiative to walk towards her.

Ji Tianci's move instantly attracted the attention of all the officials present.

Many officials looked at Ji Tianci's actions curiously, and their hearts were full of confusion.

The fifth prince took the initiative to find the prince and Su Zhijing, why?
Bring shame on yourself?
Could it be that he was too angry and lost his mind?
For a while, many officials shook their heads, thinking that it was really unwise for Ji Tianci to do something on such an occasion.

There are also hardcore princelings who secretly rejoice, wishing that Ji Tianci would make a big fuss at today's welcome banquet and attract Emperor Xiaoyuan's disgust.

Amidst the weird expressions and gazes of everyone, Ji Tianci walked up to Su Zhijing's side, and whispered in Su Zhijing's ear, forcing his voice into a thread.

"Fifth Young Master asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"

A short sentence, like a bolt of lightning, struck Su Zhijing's body.

Su Zhijing's entire body paused and stiffened for a short time, as if she had been struck.

Among the people present, which one is not the old fox.

Su Zhijing's stiffness fell into the eyes of all the civil and military officials present.

For a while, many officials showed suspicion, curiosity, and uncertainty in their eyes.

What did the Fifth Prince say to Su Zhijing?
Su Zhijing had such a big reaction?
Seeing this scene, the third prince was very curious and couldn't help asking Xia Ming.

"Master Xia, what do you think the fifth child is doing?"

"What are you doing?"

Xia Ming was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low tone.

"Perhaps there is some tacit understanding between Su Zhijing and the fifth prince... Perhaps, the fifth prince has the information Su Zhijing needs, or even handles..."

"In short, it seems that the fifth prince came prepared for today's welcome banquet."

Hearing Xia Ming's analysis, the third prince's originally silent mood became active again.

"Master Xia, do you think the fifth child can prevent this marriage?"

Xia Ming shook his head, warning the third prince solemnly.

"Third prince, this marriage was personally decided by the monarchs of the two countries. It is a manifestation of the interests of the two countries and cannot be shaken by anyone."

"If some people insist on trying to shake the marriage beyond their limits, they will only fall into the abyss beyond redemption."

Although he knew that the chances of destroying the marriage were extremely slim, even hopeless.

But being exposed so ruthlessly by Xia Ming, the Third Prince was still depressed and irritable.

In the past few days, the prince has been so full of ambition and complacency that some peripheral members of his party of three princes have embraced the prince's thigh.

If it goes on like this, it won't be long before he has no power to resist and can only watch helplessly as the crown prince sits firmly in the East Palace.

In a few years, when the crown prince ascends to the throne, with his character of vengeance, what will happen to him...

Thinking of this, the Third Prince couldn't help but shudder.

The officials present had some guesses in their hearts, but basically everyone had the same opinion as Xia Ming.

Ji Tianci's actions are at most disgusting to the prince.

For the big picture, it's useless.

However, what surprised them even more was still to come.

"Let's find a time to have a good talk about the picture stone!" Ji Tianci continued to force his voice into a line, and his voice penetrated into Su Zhijing's ears.

In an instant, a faint surprise appeared on Su Zhijing's face, but then suddenly realized.

The fifth son is the confidant of the fifth prince.

Even the fifth prince knows about the photo stone, so it makes no sense that the fifth prince doesn't know about it.

Although he didn't see the fifth son, he reached a deal with the fifth son.

But the Fifth Prince's personal appearance is undoubtedly more convincing.

"When are we going to make a deal?" Su Zhijing also forced her voice into a line, and there was a hint of urgency in her voice.

When the prince saw Ji Tianci and Su Zhijing conversing in whispers, he was anxious!

Anxious like a monkey scratching its head and ears, wishing to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

It's just that Ji Tianci and Su Zhijing are not weak, so even if he wanted to eavesdrop, he couldn't do it.

"Tonight, by the Xuanjing Lake, see you there!"

Ji Tianci spoke calmly, but this time he didn't force his voice into a line, but spoke directly.

Everyone present could hear it clearly.

The tone of Ji Tianci's words was like that of a young couple.
