He is a bit like a concubine

Author: That sour candy

The Xiangjun Mansion received the news in advance. At this time, everyone was dressed up and waiting by the river. People from far and near looked at it curiously.

The fleet attracted a lot of people's attention, and those who could rush here were rushing here. When the ship docked, a group of armed soldiers got off first and stood on both sides of the bluestone road, all the way to the Xiangjun Mansion.

General Yan walked out of the cabin first, followed by the other two generals, both of whom were fully armed. When they walked onto the trestle, another man in his early twenties walked out of the cabin, wearing a red and yellow brocade suit and a sword at his waist. Everyone was looking down.

The eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, and I don't dare to look up anymore.

The man walked in front, followed by a group of people behind him. A sharp voice sounded: "His Royal Highness is here!"

Chen Fan and others knelt down: "Welcome to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The people nearby all knelt down and said, "Welcome to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Pingshen." The prince's voice was very gentle. Everyone thanked him and stood up.

The horses have been brought over. The prince and others got on the horses. Chen Fan and others followed on foot. Behind them was a carriage.

The bluestone slabs had been washed with water and were fresh and refreshing. As a group of people walked by, no dust was seen flying.

The prince entered the main hall and sat at the head. General Yan and Eunuch Chang stood behind him. The accompanying officials sat down on chairs on both sides, and Chen Fan and others stood in the center of the hall.

The maids brought tea, put watermelons and grapes on the table, and left quickly. Chen Fan was the first to salute and introduce himself, followed by Zhang Ci. The prince looked at Zhang Ci and pinched his fingers.

The accompanying officials widened their eyes.

The prince said: "The harvest of grain in Changping Township is a great joy for the country and a blessing for the people. The Holy Spirit is grateful for the loyalty of the Lord of Changping Township and commends the Lord of Changping Township."

Boxes were brought up one by one and opened, revealing the jewels and brocade shining brightly.

Chen Fan and the others saluted solemnly: "Thank you, God, for your grace."

At this time, the prince asked Chen Yue and their names. The children introduced themselves one by one.

Then, the prince introduced the accompanying officials, and the Chen family greeted them with salutes.

He Zhongsheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, put it bluntly: "This Master Zhang seems to have a very kind face, which reminds me of an old friend."

Zhang Ci saluted: "Caomin is very honored to be able to look similar to your old friend."

He Zhongsheng sneered: "Master Zhang is eloquent and has extraordinary talents."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

Chen Fan didn't want to listen to those officials and started reporting directly: wheat planting area, land area, output, tax revenue, and the township government scraped together three million kilograms of wheat to donate to the court.

He Zhongsheng curled his lips: "So, it's really not easy to produce three million kilograms of wheat in Changping Township."

Chen Fan nodded: "It is indeed not easy."

He Zhongsheng gritted his teeth.

Chen Fan picked up a plate with two small slices of watermelon inside. She presented the watermelon to the prince: "The watermelon and grapes are freshly picked. Your Highness and your lords, please taste them."

The prince smiled and said, "The watermelons and grapes from Changping Township are very popular in the capital. We are in for a treat today." He took the plate.

A eunuch came up to test the poison. The prince waved his hand slightly, and the eunuch retreated.

Seeing the prince take a small bite, other officials also lowered their heads and took a bite.

"The watermelon has a thin skin and crispy flesh, and is sweet and juicy. It is worthy of being worth thirty guan worth of watermelon." He Zhongsheng held a gun and a stick.

Chen Fan smiled lightly: "There are many noble people in the capital, and ordinary watermelons cannot catch the eyes of the noble people."

Zhang Ci said: "Your Highness, you are tired from traveling and traveling. Please follow the common people to the guest house to rest."

The prince and other officials stood up and followed Zhang Ci out. The eunuchs and maids waiting outside immediately followed.

Zhang Ci led them to Kuangyuan, a new garden that was just expanded this year.

"Is this garden new?" the prince discovered.

"Yes, the houses in Xiangjun's Mansion were originally built randomly and were quite messy. This year, a new one was built next to it, specifically to welcome distinguished guests." Zhang Ci replied.

The prince smiled: "I heard that the scenery in Su Garden is very beautiful. Looking at this open garden now, the scenery is also very pleasant."

A group of people walked around the open garden. The prince entered Tangyun Courtyard, and the accompanying officials entered Qingfeng Courtyard.

"This is the courtyard prepared for Your Highness. Please rest here. The items are all newly purchased."

The prince sat down in the hall and looked at Zhang Ci: "Feng Jun?"

Zhang Ci bent down and saluted, but did not answer.

The prince didn't ask him to get up and looked at him: "You are becoming more and more handsome."

Zhang Ci maintained his salute posture: "The roughness of ordinary people cannot compare with the majesty of the prince."

The prince snorted softly: "That Chen Zhongyan looks familiar to me. Who is he?"

"He came from the county government together with Chen Zhongtan and Chen Zhongmei and was adopted by Miss Chen." Zhang Ci replied.

"I have heard of this man, and now I just want to know, who is he?"

"Who does your Highness think he is?"

The prince sneered: "He is a bit like a concubine."

Zhang Ci remained silent.

The prince's face darkened: "Three years, he has actually been here for three years." He actually just found out that the missing sixth prince had lived here for three years, and the emperor never mentioned it. Why did he treat these children so badly in the first place?

Not aware at all?

"How would he react if he learned that his mother had stayed in the cold palace for three years?" The prince said slowly. Zhang Ci's hands shook slightly.

The prince noticed his movements: "It's strange, how did he get to Yuanfeng County Yamen?"

"This common man doesn't know."

The prince chuckled: "Common people? You would rather marry a commoner's daughter than become a prince-in-law?"

"The common people have agreed to be the prince-in-law." Zhang Ci corrected.

The prince's face darkened: "But you killed the princess."

Zhang Ci remained silent and continued to salute.

"Your life is so tough, why is Chen Fan fine?"

"Chen Fan has killed more people than me. If I can't defeat her, she might kill me one day."

Prince: "..."

You are so cruel that you curse yourself for not hesitating.

"Sixth brother usually lives in seclusion in the palace and rarely sees each other. I can't even remember the last time I saw him." The prince seemed to be reminiscing.

Zhang Ci remained silent.

"Get up, go and call Chen Zhongyan over."

Zhang Ci stood up, bowed again, and left.

Chen Zhongyan came, knelt down and bowed: "My brother, I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up."

Chen Zhongyan stood up and the prince fell silent.

After a long time, the prince finally said: "Does the emperor know you are here?"

"If Lord Zhongshu Ling and General Yan reported it, my father would know about it."

"Did he bring you any gifts?"

Chen Zhongyan shook his head.

The prince was silent for a while and asked, "How did you get to Yuanfeng County?"

"At that time, my mother and concubine were banned. I wanted to see my mother and concubine secretly, but I fainted for some reason. What happened next is not very clear. It is vague. I only remember that I was with a group of refugees and was placed in a place by official servants.

.Later, the people from the county government said that we were adopted."

The prince didn't believe a word of it.

"Zhang Ci didn't report to the palace?" The prince looked at him.
