The imperial capital, Prince Liang's Mansion.
Prince Liang, who was slightly younger than Emperor Chu, had good looks and a strong body as if he were middle-aged. No one could tell that this prince was already a strong man who had been practicing for nearly ten thousand years.
Wearing a crown and a yellow robe, holding a sword in his left hand and holding a seal in his right hand, he sits on the main seat with such majesty that people dare not look directly at him.
Below him, the eldest daughter Chu Tinghan, this daughter Chu Tingxue, and the eldest son Chu Zimo stood respectfully. Even though the three of them were quite prestigious at home and abroad and within the military, they did not dare to act recklessly in front of the King of Liang.
The servant who went to invite Lin Bai to Prince Liang's Mansion shivered and knelt on the ground, and explained the whole story clearly.
"He's not coming?" King Liang raised his sword eyebrows, his tiger eyes showing majesty and killing intent.
"Yes." The servant replied fearfully: "When I went to invite Lord Lang, the chariot from Prince Hong's Mansion also came to invite Lord Lang, but Lord Wolf refused."
"He said he is going back to practice in seclusion. He will naturally come to see him after he comes out of seclusion." "Haha." King Liang sneered when he heard this, and clenched his hand slightly on the hilt of the sword, with anger already on his face, "Look at this kid , looking at the Chu Kingdom in the demon world, there are only people I don’t want to see, and there are no people I can’t see.
. "
"What kind of retreat? It's just an excuse."
The King of Liang had practiced for thousands of years and was a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. How could he not understand Lin Bai's excuse?
Seeing that his father was a little angry, Chu Tinghan secretly thought that something was wrong, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead because of Lin Bai.
She hurriedly stepped forward and cupped her hands and said: "Father, maybe it's because Lord Lang is having trouble making a choice because the chariots from Prince Liang's Mansion and Prince Hong's Mansion are going to pick him up at the same time, so he is so evasive."
King Liang looked at his eldest daughter Chu Tinghan with sharp eyes and sneered twice: "I haven't agreed to marry you yet, so you are so anxious to speak for others?"
When Chu Tinghan heard this, he was ashamed and frightened, and was at a loss what to do.
Chu Tingxue watched her sister's actions silently, her pretty face expressionless, her phoenix eyes showing envy and unwillingness.
Chu Zimo was careless by nature. At this moment, he completely ignored his father's majesty and said with a smile: "Oh, father, you must give Mr. Lang Hou all the time to deal with things."
"The hunting world has just ended, and he is also very busy. When he is done, he will naturally come to propose marriage."
Chu Zimo's face was full of smiles and satisfaction. It could be seen that he seemed very satisfied with Lin Bai, his brother-in-law.
He was so strong and capable that he really couldn't think of anything else he could find fault with.
King Liang glanced sideways at Chu Tinghan, who was at a loss, and then at Chu Zimo, who was heartless, and sneered: "I have three children, and two of them are talking for others at the moment, so what should I do? What’s there to say?”
"Okay, then let's wait until he comes out of seclusion and meet again."
King Liang stood up from his throne, looked at the time, and said, "I am going into the palace to meet Emperor Chu. You don't have to follow me."
Finished.
King Liang ordered the chariot to be prepared and went straight to the imperial city.
…
Prince Hong's Mansion.
Miss Shen Xian has never smiled since she came back from the Yuhua Heavenly Palace in the Hunting World.
She was sitting on the main seat of the palace, with Chao Yushi and a group of old officials from the palace on both sides. Everyone could see that Princess Shenxian was unhappy.
Zhang Linghu secretly glanced at Chao Yushi and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with our princess? Now that His Highness Prince Chen has become the crown prince, it will bring no harm to our palace. The princess should be happy, right?"
Chao Yushi twirled his goatee and smiled meaningfully.
He glanced at Princess Shenxian and knew exactly what the princess was worried about.
"Princess Princess, I have sent someone to ask for Lord Langhou."
Chao Yushi thought about it again and again before speaking.
Princess Shenxian, who was in a depressed mood, suddenly heard Lord Langhou's name, and her dead face suddenly glowed a little, and a bright light appeared in her dull eyes.
Then, her face suddenly darkened, and she shouted sternly: "Who asked you to invite him? Did I say I wanted to see him?"
Chao Yushi was charming and said with a smile: "The princess will see whoever she meets, and she will not see you if you don't want to see her. I took it upon myself to invite Lord Lang to come, but in fact it is to discuss the follow-up matters."
"Now that His Highness Prince Chen has become the Crown Prince, the promise His Highness Prince Chen made to our Prince Hong's Mansion should be fulfilled."
"We need to discuss this matter with Lord Langhou."
Hearing that it was about Prince Hong's palace, Miss Shen Xian nodded repeatedly; "It should be so."
Chao Yushi smiled bitterly and sighed inwardly, this was a needle in his daughter's heart.
He was obviously very happy when he heard that Lin Bai was coming, but he still pretended to be selfless.
Not long after.
When the servant of Prince Hong's Mansion came back, Princess Shenxian hurriedly took a look and saw that there was only one servant, and her bright eyes dimmed instantly.
Chao Yushi was a little stunned and asked, "Why didn't Mr. Langhou come with you?"
The servant bowed and replied: "Reporting to the princess' military advisor, when I went to invite Lord Langhou, it happened that Prince Liang also sent someone to invite him..."
When Princess Shenxian heard the words "Prince Liang's Mansion", her beauty wrinkled tightly, her face showing displeasure.
Chao Yushi's face was slightly stiff, and his old eyes kept turning in his sockets, as if thousands of insidious plots were brewing in his mind.
"He went to Prince Liang's Mansion?" Chao Yushi asked.
Miss Shen Xian suddenly thought of Chu Tinghan, and she was so angry that her teeth chattered.
"Is there a mouse?" Zhang Linghu looked around stupidly, thinking that there was a mouse in the meeting hall.
Chao Yushi slapped him silently, signaling him to stop talking.
Being hit by Chao Yushi, Zhang Linghu felt a little aggrieved and muttered: "I'm catching mice, why are you hitting me?"
The servant replied: "No, Lord Wolf said that he will go back to practice in seclusion. After he comes out of seclusion, he will definitely pay a visit."
Chao Yushi understood that Prince Hong's Palace and Prince Liang's Palace invited Lin Bai at the same time. No matter which palace Lin Bai went to, he would offend the other palace, so Lin Bai simply refused to go and found an excuse to go back to retreat.
"Haha, it's rare for Lord Lang to find such a reason in a hurry." Chao Yushi couldn't help but laugh at Lin Bai's alertness.
But when he turned around to look, Miss Chen Xian had a frosty look on her face and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Chao Yushi came to his senses in a hurry, and just when he was about to say a few words of comfort, the concierge suddenly came to report: "Princess Princess, Lord Langhou is here to visit."
Princess Shenxian was extremely angry and shouted sternly: "No see."
At the entrance of Prince Hong's Mansion, Lin Bai finally got rid of the spy who was following behind him and came to Prince Hong's Mansion.
After waiting for a while, the concierge who went to report the news hurriedly came out and said: "Back to Lord Langhou, the princess is busy with official duties today and has no time to see guests. Please go back first, Lord Langhou."
ah? ... Lin Bai was stunned for a moment. It was clearly Prince Hong’s Mansion who sent someone to invite him? Why did he suddenly disappear again at this moment?
"In that case, I won't bother you."
Lin Bai had no choice but to give up and leave.
As soon as he took two steps out, Chao Yushi from Prince Hong's Mansion rushed out: "Master Langhou, stay here, Princess invites you again." Now the concierge of Prince Hong's Mansion was stunned. Didn't he say no just now?
