Chapter 265 Palace Dinner
The second prince glanced at Chen Xiao with a meaningful look, and said with a smile:
"That's right, what they are wrong! I don't want to have any conflicts with Lord Chen!"
Chen Xiao's expression remained unchanged and said, "Your Highness the Second Prince is like this, but I feel a little uneasy!"
"Haha, why are you still uneasy if I don't make an enemy of you? What's the reason?"
The second prince looked at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao has been very calm and said:
"Sometimes, enemies are easier to get along with than friends!"
The second prince was stunned, looked at Chen Xiao deeply, and then said:
"You are indeed a smart person. But sometimes, you have to choose your friends and enemies.
At present, I don’t plan to choose you as an enemy, but you still don’t plan to be friends with me?"
Chen Xiao smiled but said nothing, and took a few steps before saying:
"I heard that the eldest prince is coming back soon!"
The second prince frowned: "So, did you choose to be friends with him or to be friends with me?"
"The eldest prince may not be friends with me..." Chen Xiao said.
"No, he will! You are young, already a military officer, and have great achievements. You are also literary and good at being an official.
For talents like you, only idiots like the third and fifth, will think of offending them.” said the second prince.
Chen Xiao smiled: "So, the second prince thinks that he and the eldest prince are not stupid!"
"At least, not that stupid!"
Chen Xiao said: "I don't want to choose!"
"Oh?" The second prince stared at Chen Xiao!
"That's your relationship with the eldest prince. I don't like to vassals." Chen Xiao said.
"But do you have any choice? Between me and the boss, you always have to make a choice. Otherwise, in the future, no matter who we are, who will be in which position, I'm afraid you won't be able to have a good time!"
The second prince's words were vaguely threatening.
I want Chen Xiao to have no way out!
Chen Xiao smiled, quickened his pace and left, and spoke:
"The same thing, sometimes, enemies are better than being friends. I, Chen Xuan, are not afraid of having two enemies!"
As he said that, he left and went to Jiutian Palace!
The second prince's face became gloomy.
He looked at Chen Xiao's back and said lightly:
"Don't choose? Do you think it's that simple? After entering this court, entering the royal family, and not wanting to tread in this muddy water? Humph, it's impossible!"
After saying that, he walked towards the harem!
The harem, Zhaixing Pavilion, and the attic where Concubine Hui is located!
After the second prince met his mother, he sat down and talked with Concubine Hui.
Soon, the second prince asked Huifei:
"Mother, are you familiar with Chen Xiao?"
"Well, this person is extraordinary. His writing is comparable to a saint, and his martial arts can help the world. He serves as an official and a people, and benefits the country. He can also govern the world when he enters the court and governs the world!"
After Huifei finished speaking, she looked at her son.
The second prince took a breath: "This person is so powerful..."
"The emperor, this man is very smart. As long as he wants to do, there is nothing he can't do. He is even more mysterious. All kinds of strange things can be made. He is really a genius of the world!"
When Concubine Hui praised her again, the second prince's face looked even more ugly!
"Such a talent... should help me seize the throne!" the second prince spoke.
Concubine Hui said: "Son of the Emperor, find a way to win over!"
"Mother's wife, it's not easy. I've already hinted at him before, but he has a firm attitude and seems to have no intention of participating in the battle for the throne!"
The second prince frowned and said, and after he finished speaking, he said coldly:
"If this kind of person cannot be used by me... it must be removed!"
"Son of the emperor, I think it's extremely difficult to deal with this person!" Hui Fei reminded!
"Don't worry, Mother, I have met countless officials in various places, and I have a relationship with officials inside and outside the court. If he is not tactful, he can only take it slowly and he can kill him!"
The second prince said that he was confident.
Concubine Hui didn't say much, she believed in her son.
On the other hand, Chen Xiao entered the Jiutian Palace and told Long Jiuling what had just happened.
Long Jiuling also said to Chen Xiao curiously: "You don't choose?"
"Anyway, I don't like this second prince, so I won't choose it." Chen Xiao said.
Long Jiuling said: "I heard that the eldest brother is coming back soon. These two people are the strength to fight for the throne.
One wins over civil officials and the other gets the support of military generals. If you are so powerful, both civil and military officials can enjoy it. They will definitely steal you!
And if you don’t choose either side, I’m afraid…it’s hard for both sides to be human. Maybe they will deal with you!”
"Treat me? Haha, girl, don't worry, I'm not afraid. It has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to care about anyone who becomes emperor."
Chen Xiao didn't think what these two people could do to him.
He didn't want to interfere with the illegal affairs of the royal family fighting for the throne.
However, if these two princes insist on pulling him in, then he will not be able to treat them!
It’s not that Chen Xiao wants to be the one himself, he doesn’t have this idea.
Next, the two of them no longer talk about this topic, but talk about something else.
Time flies, and it is evening.
In the palace, the Palace of Yangxin, a small dinner party was held.
The emperor asked about ten concubines and princesses in the harem to participate.
The Empress Dowager is here, and Chen Xiao is here too.
When the old empress dowager saw Chen Xiao, she first came over with a smile and praised Chen Xiao for a few words.
Tonight, although it is to welcome the second prince!
However, in the old empress dowager's opinion, the second prince's contribution to managing the disaster situation in various places outside was far less than that of Chen Xiao!
Therefore, the old empress dowager's praise was quick, which made Chen Xiao become the protagonist in an instant.
The second prince's face was not very natural and seemed a little embarrassed.
The emperor also looked at Chen Xiao with a smile and said, "Chen Xiao has made great contributions this time. Just now, the officials I sent have taken over a city in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Chen Xiao and immediately congratulated the emperor.
After all, there are more areas in the Dragon Kingdom!
"Of course, the second brother will also make contributions to managing the disasters in various places this time!" The emperor spoke again!
The second prince, who became a supporting role, stood up and said embarrassedly:
"Thank you, my father, for sharing my worries and doing things for the people, is all right!"
"Well, okay... let's have a meal!" the emperor spoke.
After eating a few bites of the dishes, I looked at Chen Xiao:
"Chen Xiao, talk about the food, it seems that you cook well!"
"Father, the things made by Chen Xiao are so delicious!" Long Jiuling immediately spoke.
The emperor smiled: "Chen Xiao, my Jiuer is so respectful. I really want to try your cooking skills when I have time."
"Okay, it's OK at any time!"
Chen Xiao said.
At this moment, the second prince suddenly spoke:
"Father, my son is away during this period, and I have learned some cooking methods from all over the world. I also want to come back and make it for my father, so that my father can often eat from all over the world.
Since my father mentioned the food today, Lord Chen would do it, why not, tonight, Lord Chen and I will make a few of them to let you taste it?"
"Oh? Hahaha, okay, Chen Xiao, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Chen Xiao.
Chapter completed!
