When he was bored, Lan Chen had to secretly enjoy himself with this way of passing the time.
It wasn't until the gong rang out again that he slowly opened his eyes. It couldn't be said to be very refreshing, but it was still very comfortable. He stretched out and made crackling sounds.
At the examiner's signal, the candidates also left the Gongyuan first. After all, the night was almost getting dark.
There are only two exams today, and the other two exams will be taken the next morning.
After walking out of the Gongyuan, Lan Chen decisively gave up the idea of looking for Xiaotian in the sea of people. The crowd pushed him forward with a huge force, without even the slightest resistance left.
Anyway, we are all in the same inn, so we can go back to settle accounts!
But just when he wanted to go back, he was stopped by several people in the corner.
Lan Chen was slightly startled, but also became wary.
This battle is a bit uncomfortable.
"Who is coming?"
"This young man, please come to the teahouse."
"You just go when you say so? I'm so shameless. Besides, since I'm inviting you to tea, why don't you tell me your master's name?" Lan Chen rolled his eyes. There were so many people here, and he wasn't afraid of them messing around.
Several people were stunned for a moment, but in the end it was the leader who looked around for a moment. There were too many candidates, and it would only be troublesome if they kept grinding for too long.
Then he raised his hands to show that he was not hostile, and then walked towards Lan Chen. When he was only a few steps away, he whispered, "It's the third prince who invites you to come up and get together."
Lan Chen was stunned for a moment, but the hesitation only lasted a moment.
He raised his legs and walked on his own. Finally, he slowed down and looked at the man, "Lead the way, why are you standing still?"
"Oh...oh! This way please!"
The man hurriedly greeted Lan Chen and respectfully welcomed Lan Chen to the teahouse.
I was thinking about how Lan Chen would resist, and he even wanted to use force, but he didn't expect that he was so easy to talk to, which would save a lot of effort.
Teahouse, elegant room.
Knock on the door and come in.
Lan Chen walked straight in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty Xuzhou will first honor Lan Chen, the commander of Renzhi, to pay homage to His Highness the Third Prince!"
Neither humble nor arrogant, he was full of overflowing masculinity. In fact, he also shouted so loudly on purpose just to let the people below hear him.
When he first entered the teahouse, he noticed that the third prince did not invite anyone out of the teahouse, but just asked for a private room. He thought that this meeting was not that serious, just a meeting, but it also showed from the side.
The Third Prince should not have been too far into the city, and he might have had other motives when he met the candidates privately, so he was not wary of the saying "walls have ears."
Obviously, the third prince was also frightened by Lan Chen's movements.
He waved his hand in a dumbfounded way, signaling Lan Chen not to say anything, and at the same time glanced at the guard.
The few people who understood the situation, only one person was left standing beside the third prince, and they all left. Some were at the door of the private room, some were drinking tea on the first floor, and some were squatting in front of the teahouse door.
"Xuzhou served first? Could it be that your commander-in-chief is Huang Yuankui?"
"Yes."
"No wonder. Only people like him can teach you such a talented person. Sit down and don't be too formal. This teahouse is considered to be the best teahouse in the surrounding area, but it's just unknown to others."
"Thank you, Third Prince." Lan Chen nodded and sat down without talking nonsense.
The introduction of the leader was very particular. Lan Chen didn't say anything and brought out the commander of Renzhi. Anyway, Huang Yuankui was protecting him, so he didn't care what he was doing.
No, the third prince's expression has changed in a different way, but it's hard to say whether he is for better or for worse.
Anyway, Lan Chen didn't mention the word 'Huang Yuankui', but it was the third prince who mentioned it.
After drinking hot tea, he was able to observe the third prince.
Except for excluding the so-called "graceful and noble" and other words, it seems that... the third prince is a bit ordinary.
It's the kind of ordinary person that you wouldn't recognize if you threw it on the street.
If I were to mention a special feature, maybe it would be that he looks taller and more powerful than ordinary people.
His skin is also slightly darker, so he must be a mighty prince who has fought despite being sick.
"Yeah, good tea!" Lan Chenba sighed, and subconsciously licked his lips, as if looking for the heart-stirring aroma of tea.
"This tea is grown in Hanshan Mountain, and it is a tribute tea from the Daqing Dynasty. I think the entire Daqian can only be drunk in the capital, and the finished product is only available here." After saying this, the third prince seemed a little proud. The childlike way of sharing your beloved things with your childhood playmates.
"This is really good tea, but I'm afraid it's not the best I've ever had in my life."
"Haha, Mr. Lan is joking? As far as I know, you have also lived in the capital for a while. As you still hold a title in Xuzhou, you must have drank the best tea."
"Hahaha, no matter how good the tea is, it's not as good as the cup the third prince invited." Lan Chen flattered her in a rare gesture.
From the moment he heard that the third prince was looking for him, he knew that he could not escape.
Refuse the third prince’s invitation?
Isn't this seeking death?
The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Lan Chen has no intention of making any promises anyway, and everything will be clear during the martial arts test. Let's see what tricks the third prince can do, but let him open his eyes no matter what!
But he really wanted to know which bastard was the one who informed the third prince about this matter?
At first glance, it seemed that the Third Prince didn't seem to have any ulterior motives among the Sixth Prince. Besides, he clearly set out from Huang Yuankui's residence and came directly to Gongyuan, but why was the Third Prince cut off his beard after completing two exams?
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Lan Chen also initially judged that the person Huang Yuankui was loyal to was the third prince in front of him.
pity......
He guessed wrong.
It was clearly the seventh prince who was causing trouble, pretending to let Mr. Wen find the third prince.
After receiving the news from Mr. Wen, the third prince immediately realized that this Lan Chen was the Xuzhou rainmaker!
At this juncture, he was not afraid of being in the limelight and went to take the exam!?
Although my father, Emperor Longlong, is in poor health and won’t summon Lan Chen into the palace for a while, there’s no point in joining in the fun...
If you don't understand it even if you want to break your head, just let him go, but no matter what, you have to hold Lan Chen in your hands!
Since his serious illness, the emperor's face has only been serious. When dealing with the problem of famine and drought, he became even more angry. It was even heard that he often drank alcohol in the middle of the night to grudge.
But with the rain-seeking prescription from Xuzhou, after the drought was eliminated, a smile finally appeared on his face. That is the road that has no end, and it is the joy of God's blessing!
Just think about it and you will know what kind of reward the emperor will give Lan Chen.
If we could get acquainted with him at this time, or even take him under his wing, wouldn’t it be helpful for the ‘big changes’ in the future!
The same thoughts, but expressed very differently.
These three princes almost had their calculations slapped in their faces, it was so real.
Lan Chen suppressed his laughter and drank tea again and again. He couldn't help but think of the Sixth Prince's methods. At any rate, he had to learn from the Sixth Prince. He was so happy that he was almost drooling.
"cough!"
Seeing this going on, I don't know how long the grinding will last. Lan Chen interrupted the third prince's reverie and asked, "I wonder why the third prince came to the official office?"
