Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 469 The second prince is here too

Huangfu Huaian's attitude once made both Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao very confused.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this. Although we are guests, as long as the etiquette is met, we will not pick this..." Shu Yunzhao felt a little overwhelmed. Huangfu Huai'an's level of politeness was indeed a bit difficult to criticize.

"Actually, there is something I haven't confessed to you yet..." Huangfu Huaian's voice trailed off.

That expression seemed a little guilty, and Hu Yuelong felt a little guilty at that time.

"My father has been unwell these past two days and I'm afraid I won't be able to see you. So there will be no palace banquet for you when you go to the city tomorrow. You can go directly to the post house... Anyway, it can be regarded as our Nanchu's lack of etiquette..."

After Huangfu Huaian finished speaking, Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao understood the meaning of what the other party did. After all, when the people from Dong Qi came, they had everything they should have. Even if Nan Chu did not immediately agree to their marriage, they still gave them a palace banquet. .

Now the people from Daxia are here, but the emperor is sick.

"It doesn't matter. Since the emperor is sick, we naturally can't disturb him by force. Let's wait and see. I believe that the imperial doctor of Nanchu is also very skilled in medicine."

Xiao Jinyao said politely, but actually he didn't have other plans in mind.

It's just that there are some things that cannot be said in front of Huangfu Huaian.

Huangfu Huaian felt relieved after hearing what they said.

He sat for a while longer, then told them to rest early, and then left.

"His Royal Highness, your words are too confidential." Xiao Jinyao said.

This was inconsistent with the intelligence they had received before, because according to legend, when the prince followed the emperor to take the throne back, he was extremely cold-blooded and even killed his cousin.

The Huangfu Huai'an in front of him clearly seemed quite honest and honest.

"Has this prince been drugged? Why does he look so strange?"

In fact, Shu Yunzhao also felt the same way. She asked, "Does the prince think that their emperor of Southern Chu is really sick?"

"This is actually not important. If he is really sick, this is already the etiquette in place. If he is pretending to be sick, then he doesn't want to see us, and he won't let the prince come forward. He will probably just send an official from the Ministry of Etiquette. Even if we are not from the Ministry of Rites, we can just leave us in the post house, and there is no need to be so grand."

Xiao Jinyao's answer is indeed a good explanation of human nature.

Shu Yunzhao nodded and said, "That's true. Then we have to be careful. We should be able to see people from Dong Qi when we enter the city tomorrow."

"The royal family of Dong Qi has been living in harmony over the years. As long as they have different political views, even if it is for Dong Qi, it will eventually turn into a life-and-death struggle. After all, there is only one position. Only by sitting in that position will you be more qualified to fully implement your own policies. Ideas." Xiao Jinyao already knew something about Dong Qi.

Before coming here, Luo Shisan told them a lot.

Shu Yunzhao thought about the current royal family in Daxia. Although there were no serious political differences, the sectarian differences were still very obvious.

Moreover, the return of the third prince this time must have given the eldest prince a great impact.

"Speaking of which, when the third prince returns to Kyoto this time, will he have to fight for a position?"

Xiao Jinyao did not give her a positive answer, but said: "This position is not suitable for the eldest prince. Haven't you already seen his character?"

Shu Yunzhao nodded. Just because of the last time he was eager for quick success, Xiao Yian was destined not to be a wise king. He only had goals in his eyes, not the people.

Once such a person takes that position, it will be the beginning of suffering for the people.

It would be better to put him up there than to put that wimp King An up there.

When Huangfu Huai'an personally came to invite them over for dinner, their awkward feeling came again.

It turned out that this was not the most important thing. They actually met another prince of Nanchu at the dinner table. At this time, the second prince Huangfu Yunfan was supposed to receive the Dong Qi delegation.

"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is the famous female Holy Hand of the Divine Needle, the Crown Prince, Shu Yunzhao, right?"

Huangfu Yunfan was obviously more enthusiastic towards Shu Yunzhao, especially that nickname, which didn't sound like it was made up on the spot.

"I have met the Second Prince. I am lucky enough to meet His Royal Highness today. How could the Second Prince..." Xiao Jinyao left half of his words unsaid.

Huangfu Huai'an rushed to say: "He is still unwilling to lose. The people who asked him to receive Dong Qi these days have wronged him badly. The other party is also a prince, and there is also a princess. He can't get angry at them. When I heard that you were coming, I left Dong Qi's people at the city posthouse and came directly here. Please don't take it off, my younger brother has always had no rules."

Huangfu Yunfan was obviously prepared for his eldest brother's complaints and was already immune to them. At this level, there was no way to make him uncomfortable.

"Anyway, I'm here to get married with the Emperor's brother. It's not kind for the Emperor to push her to me to receive the reception. Now, it's too much to arrange me like this in front of the distinguished guests from Great Xia..."

Hu Yuelong was completely confused. When he was just selected to follow him to Nanchu, Wang Jing was still gloating about his misfortune.

After all, when they came to Nanchu, many people were not optimistic about them at all, and they probably received a cold reception.

Even if he didn't die in Nanchu, he would still encounter some bad things. It turned out that the prince and the second prince were both expressing their excitement. This made him feel too surprised.

Xiao Changfeng has been taking a wait-and-see attitude today. He has not had the chance to deal with these two people. After all, every time he interacts with them, he only stays at Shangguan's house for a few days. He has heard a lot about the rumors about these two people.

Neither the crown prince nor the second prince is what they seem to the Shangguan family.

He also wondered whether there was a mistake and whether the two people had been switched.

"Is this the third young master? I know that you have a good relationship with the official family. When you go to the city tomorrow, let Shangguan Hu accompany you... I am coming out now and left Shangguan Hu there, otherwise I will not be able to escape. …”

Xiao Changfeng couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Shangguan Hu, facing the people of Dong Qi alone, not to mention the disappearance of the second prince who was supposed to receive them.

"I have met the Second Prince. Thank you very much for your kindness."

Neither the prince nor the second prince left, and no one could persuade the other to leave the table. In the end, everyone sat together.

"This is just a simple matter to help you catch the wind. My father will be well in a few days, and there will be a more grand palace banquet. Just don't worry. You will have what the Dong Qi envoy has. But what the Dong Qi envoy does not have , you should also have it.”
