After Emperor Wei sat down, he smiled at the Eighth Prince and said, "This banquet is held for you to welcome the wind. You should enjoy it."

Everyone stood up hurriedly to express their gratitude.

Jia Huan followed everyone, and he felt that a line of sight kept falling on him.

He raised his eyelids and looked over, only to see the eunuch Wu Zaifei standing behind Emperor Wei looking at him.

Although this man was a confidant of the emperor, and officials and concubines had to fawn over him, he was only a serving eunuch after all. Wu Zaifei was not qualified to attend such a banquet.

Jia Huan didn't know why Wu Zaifei paid so much attention to him, but he could feel that Wu Zaifei had no ill intentions toward him.

Wu Zaifei's eyes swept over Jia Huan from beginning to end. He couldn't help grinding his teeth when he saw that Jia Huan was wearing half-new clothes without any valuable accessories.

A majestic palace without even a single valuable ornament?

How could he treat a concubine so harshly?

Humph, when did the emperor of Chen State destroy the Duke's Mansion?

The Emperor of Wei had long wanted to annex Chen State to Wei State, and arranged many spies in Chen State.

Wu Zaifei was responsible for helping Emperor Wei organize the information sent back from Chen State, so he knew the situation of Chen State very well.

He knew how high the status of the Duke's Palace was in the Chen State, but he also knew that Emperor Chen was afraid of the Duke's Palace in his heart.

On the surface, Emperor Chen loved his concubine and valued the third prince, but in fact, it was just to paralyze the Duke's palace. He had never thought of passing the throne to the third prince.

He has never thought about passing the throne to the current prince.

Emperor Chen's favorite heir is the fourth prince.

Probably because the fourth prince is the child of Chen Huang's Bai Yueguang.

Bai Yueguang died at his most beautiful moment, completely capturing Chen Huang's heart.

Emperor Chen never forgot about him, so he also cared deeply about the children he left behind.

Emperor Chen devoted himself to leaving the best things in the world to the fourth prince.

However, in order to protect the safety of the fourth prince, he showed no special affection for the fourth prince like other princes.

On the contrary, he favored the third prince very much. In fact, he was just using the third prince as a shield for the fourth prince.

Emperor Chen has been secretly teaching the four princes how to be kings, and has also handed over part of his secret power to the four princes.

If the crown prince and the third prince knew about his behavior, they would definitely explode, and they might even come up with a military remonstrance.

By that time, the state of Chen was in civil strife.

The Duke's Mansion was involved, so it was good to win.

If you lose...

Wu Zaifei raised a cold smile.

He thought he should send a message to Chen Guo's spies to ask them to take more action.

At least tell the crown prince and third prince that the fourth prince is Chen Huang's favorite son.

Jia Huan didn't know that because of his attire, he brought civil strife to Chen State that almost destroyed the country.

Jia Huan was bored as he ate the food on the table.

The dishes at the palace banquet are all cold. Except for the cold dishes, the taste of the other dishes is affected by the temperature, and the taste is much worse.

Therefore, it really doesn't taste very appetizing.

Few people dared to speak at the banquet. Even if they did speak, they would talk about some political issues of the Wei State, and there would be no gossip.

Jia Huan couldn't help but yawned several times.

After finally enduring the banquet, the eighth prince stayed in the palace, while Jia Huan and the other teenagers returned to the courtyard.

Emperor Wei didn't know what he was thinking, so he left the eighth prince to live in his own palace.

Jia Huan guessed that Emperor Wei wanted to recruit the eighth prince to be his consort.

By then, the Eighth Prince will be both the prince of the Chen Kingdom and the consort of the Wei Kingdom, and his status is not ordinary.

Emperor Wei sent the eighth prince back to Chen to compete for the throne, and his daughter became the queen of Chen.

His grandson will be the next emperor of the Chen Kingdom.

Is it still far away for Chen State to merge with Wei State?

Jia Huan gave Wei Guo a thumbs up.

This Emperor Wei's calculations were really far-reaching.

With the Eighth Prince away, the teenagers have more freedom.

On behalf of Emperor Wei, Wu Zaifei sent a lot of supplies to the teenagers, which greatly improved their living conditions.

At least the food is better, the rice and noodles are replaced by new rice and new noodles, instead of old rice and old noodles.

Jia Huan received his supplies and returned to the room. Jia Huan opened the cloth on the bamboo basket and his eyes flashed when he saw the things inside.

In addition to rice, noodles, fresh vegetables and meat, there are also two kinds of fresh fruits in the basket.

Further down, there are two thick new clothes and a large cloak made of rabbit skin.

I have to say that this cloak was delivered on time.

The weather was getting colder, and Jia Huan did not bring thick winter clothes to Wei. He was still thinking about going to a clothing store to buy some thick clothes. Unexpectedly, a "kind person" gave him thick clothes and a cloak.

come over.

Jia Huan had a hunch that the person delivering the things was probably Wu Zaifei.

He must look similar to someone Wu Zaifei knows, right?

Is this Aiwujiwu?

Since people offer kindness without asking for anything in return, just accept it yourself.

The most you can do is keep this favor in your heart and repay it when Wu Zaifei needs help.

Jia Huan doesn't think he has no chance of repayment.

Very few great eunuchs like Wu Zaifei can die a good death.

The great eunuch who is deeply trusted by this generation of emperors will not recruit the next emperor to see him.

Their best result is to guard the tombs of previous emperors.

But most of them only end in death.

When the day comes, I can rescue Wu Zaifei.

But he would still respect Wu Zaifei's choice. If he chose to stay and bury his son, Jia Huan would not stop him.

After that, Jia Huan was able to get more things from the supplies every month.

Perhaps because he was afraid that he would have no money to use, he once put a few banknotes in it.

Jia Huan was shocked.

Wu Zaifei is too kind to him, right?

So good that he even suspected that he and Wu Zaifei were related by blood.

Perhaps because Wu Zaifei was taking care of everyone, everyone lived a relatively stable life in Wei.

But Chen Guojing was not so peaceful.

Wu Zaifei gave an order, and the spies in Chen State took action.

The crown prince and the third prince knew that Emperor Chen's preferred heir was the fourth prince.

The prince and the queen were angry.

The third prince and the noble concubine were angry.

Especially the imperial concubine!

For the sake of his eldest son's future, he had no choice but to reluctantly send his younger son to serve as a hostage in an enemy country.

He wanted to use the emperor's guilt towards their mother and son to pave the way for the eldest son.

As a result, the emperor never considered passing the throne to his eldest son, but only used his eldest son as a shield for the fourth prince.

How can the imperial concubine accept it?

How can the Duke's government accept it?

The Duke sneered: "In that case, let's just push the third prince to the throne."

On the prince's side, the queen and her natal family also made the same decision.

Although the queen's natal family does not hold military power, it is the head of the civil servants, and most civil servants prefer the prince.

As the legitimate heir, the prince naturally has other military officers who seek refuge with him.
