Zhao Jin was a little surprised. With this move, King Liang was able to select people based on their talents, and because the clan members could sit in the front, the nobles would not object too much.
The King of Liang was indeed a person, Zhao Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.
After this incident, Huang Weidong and others did not provoke Zhao Jin and others again. Instead, the middle-aged man who later praised Zhao Jin's pair kept talking to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin dealt with the opponent nonchalantly.
As if he noticed that Zhao Jin was not interested in talking to him, gradually, the middle-aged man became silent again.
On the contrary, Lu Yanyang kept chattering and was very excited. Occasionally Wu Hao would also add a few words.
Not long after, there were more and more people at the banquet. King Liang had also arrived, and the banquet officially began.
The fourth prince and Princess Jingyi sit in the first and second seats on the left hand side of King Liang.
Princess Jingyi looked around boredly, glanced at the opposite side a few times, and felt a little strange, "Brother, why don't you see the eldest prince?"
Hearing this, the fourth prince was slightly startled and glanced across the way. All the seats were occupied, but Zhao Jin was not seen.
However, there was Zhao Yu, who still had some bruises on his face, glaring at them fiercely.
At this moment, Prince Liang was sitting at the top and asked the fourth prince with a smile, "How are you feeling, nephew, these days?"
Although he was full of doubts, the fourth prince still stood up first and answered Prince Liang's question.
"Thank you very much, uncle, for your warm hospitality. My nephew has been in the palace for the past few days, and everything has been arranged properly. I feel very comfortable. I'm sorry for bothering you, uncle."
"And we can see that the people in the emperor's uncle's fiefdom live and work in peace and contentment and are prosperous. It must be that the emperor's uncle has managed it well."
Princess Jingyi curled her lips secretly, "What is good governance? If we really live and work in peace and contentment, there will be no thieves."
Her voice was so low that only the fourth prince next to her could vaguely hear her.
The fourth prince took advantage of the cover of the desk and lightly kicked the desk in front of Princess Jingyi, signaling her to be careful what she said.
"Hahaha, my nephew can live a comfortable life these days. As for the management of the fiefdom, it is my duty to make the people live a stable life."
Prince Liang was very happy, and everyone at the banquet also agreed. Unexpectedly, the fourth prince's next words directly made his smile freeze on his face.
"Especially because the eldest prince took us for a nice tour earlier. I didn't have time to thank him at that time. I don't know why I didn't see him today?"
Everyone suddenly became quiet, and Prince Liang's expression also darkened.
The ministers, nobles, and officials' children at the banquet looked at each other in confusion.
Those who knew the inside story couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: This is so good, why did you suddenly mention the eldest prince?
There are people who are not clear about this secret and are still wondering, who is this great prince? It seems that they have never heard of it, they only know that there is such a person.
Prince Liang's face was a little gloomy, and he secretly glanced at the seats of several princes.
The one in the front is the crown prince Zhao Ying, and the second one is Zhao Yu.
Anyone who knew that Ning Ce was going to Yunzhou with Zhao Yuan couldn't help but turn their attention to Ning Ce.
Ning Ce stayed still and drank quietly, as if he didn't notice the different looks from everyone.
Zhao Yu heard that the fourth prince actually mentioned what happened that day, and remembered that because of this incident the next day, he was first slapped by King Liang, and then beaten by Zhao Jin. He felt unhappy and laughed out loud.
"Why does the Fourth Prince miss that bastard every day?"
"Is he the one who deserves to be the eldest prince? He is just a bastard. Now he is..."
"Shut up!" King Liang scolded Zhao Jin in a cold voice, "What are you talking nonsense about?"
The rest of the people did not expect that the third prince could be so stupid. Not many people knew about this matter. Except for the people in the palace, only the confidants of King Liang knew what was going on with the eldest prince.
Who would have expected that the third prince would reveal the matter directly on the spot.
Ning Ce shook his head, "I thought that the third prince was just addicted to casinos and a useless playboy. I didn't expect that he could be so stupid."
Zhao Yao, who was scolded by King Liang, was so frightened that he shut up quickly. Seeing King Liang's dark expression, he felt that his already healed face was aching again.
Just because the third prince didn't speak out, it doesn't mean that everyone will give up.
After Princess Jingyi passed by the casino, she was extremely disgusted with Zhao Yuan and immediately said rudely: "What the third prince said is wrong."
"In the State of Zhao, the eldest son has always inherited the title of king. Since he is the eldest son, he should have succeeded the imperial uncle's position. In other words, he will be the future King of Liang."
"How dare you directly call the future King of Liang a bastard?"
"Take a step back." Princess Jingyi glanced sideways at Zhao Yao, "Then he is also your brother. Insulting your brother is a serious crime of unfilial piety."
Zhao Jin's eyebrows skipped a beat, and for a moment he didn't know whether Princess Jingyi was helping him or deliberately harming him.
How could Zhao Yuan tolerate a woman talking about him like this? What's more, Princess Jingyi kept saying that he was not as good as Zhao Jin.
"You!" Zhao Yao was about to slap the table and curse, but Zhao Ying next to him quickly stopped him.
"Brother Wang, calm down!"
"What are you?" Princess Jingyi raised her chin, "The eldest prince also took my brother and I for a stroll, which is much better than you who only take us to the casino."
As soon as Princess Jingyi said this, everyone was shocked.
Some ministers were already furious.
"Your Majesty! The third prince's actions are unfaithful and unfilial and must not go unpunished!"
"Insulting my brother and even taking the prince and princess to the casino? My lord! This matter is not a trivial matter!"
King Liang said nothing with a sullen face, turning a blind eye to the ministers' pleas to punish Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yao became so angry that she threw away Zhao Ying's hand and stared at Princess Jingyi.
"Zhao Yu! Do you want to make a big banquet?!" King Liang was extremely angry.
"Father, then..." Zhao Yao was not angry and turned to look at Prince Liang, who was about to complain, but met Prince Liang's eyes as if he was eating someone.
This look... is looking at him.
Zhao Yuan felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured from head to toe. He suddenly came back to his senses. Thinking of what he had just done, he couldn't help but tremble. He was so stunned that he didn't dare to say another word.
"Uncle." The fourth prince looked serious, "Although the uncle already has a crown prince, the eldest prince is the eldest brother, and his status among the princes should be second only to the crown prince. But now the third prince is insulting him wantonly, and even did not show up at the banquet.
The position of the great prince."
"This move is really inappropriate."
King Liang's face was livid, and he said after a while: "It's not that the eldest prince didn't come."
"Where is the eldest prince!"
Lu Yanyang looked around curiously and tugged on Zhao Jin's clothes, "Brother, if you said the eldest prince is here, where is he?"
"I have only heard that there is such a famous person as the eldest prince, but it seems that he has never left the palace."
Zhao Jin sneered in his heart. Not only was it the palace, the original body and Mrs. Ning had never even left the side palace!
