At this moment, a surprised voice came from not far away, "Isn't this Mr. Ling? Are you here to see Brother Huang?"
Ling Xuewei followed the sound and saw Huangfu Ling walking over with a group of people. Next to him, there was a woman about seventeen or eighteen years old.
I saw that the woman was wearing a light pink palace dress, with delicate facial features and curved eyebrows. She had a round oval face with flushed cheeks, exuding an innocent and lively atmosphere.
Judging from her appearance, she must be a princess.
Ling Xuewei saluted, "I have met His Highness the Sixth Prince and His Highness the Seventh Princess."
Huangfuling was surprised, "How do you know she is the seventh princess?"
Ling Xuewei chuckled lightly, "Didn't His Highness say this morning that the Seventh Princess would come to see you? Judging from the fact that she is about the same age, so..."
"Haha! You are quite smart. This is the seventh sister, Yan'er, and this is Mr. Ling." Huangfu Ling introduced.
Huangfuyan looked at her and bowed softly, "Mr. Ling."
"Princess doesn't need to be polite, I don't dare act like one."
Huangfuyan stood up and looked at him curiously with her big watery eyes, "Are you the Young Master Ling that Sixth Brother mentioned? You look about the same age as me! Are you here to find the Crown Prince?"
Ling Xuewei nodded, "Yes."
Huangfu Ling said, "Brother Huang is currently talking to several ministers in the court. If you are not here now, how about I take you over to find him?"
Seeing this, Ling Xuewei shook her head and said, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with something, I won't bother you too much. Please tell the Sixth Prince to tell me that Ling Feng has left first, and I will talk to His Highness the Crown Prince another day."
"You want to leave now? But the hunting feast has just begun!" Huangfuling was surprised.
"I've been out for a long time, and it's time to leave. What's more, the hunting banquet in the evening is to reward the ministers, so I won't get involved..."
"How can that be okay? If the emperor knew that you just left like this, he would definitely not agree! In this case, you go with me, and if you have anything to say, you can tell him in person!"
"This..." Ling Xuewei hesitated, but Huangfu Ling didn't give her a chance to regret it, and dragged her towards the hunting banquet!
Seeing this, Ling Xuewei could only give up.
Forget it, let's go over there and talk to Huangfuchen in person.
…
When we arrived at the banquet, we quickly found Huangfu Chen standing above talking to several ministers.
Huangfu Ling dragged Ling Xuewei over. Huangfu Chen was a little surprised when he saw them coming together, "Why did the Sixth Emperor come here with Ling Qing?"
Huangfu Ling smiled and said, "I happened to meet you outside your tent, so we came over together."
Huangfuchen nodded and looked at Ling Xuewei, "You're here just in time. There are a few people I want to introduce to you. Come."
Ling Xuewei frowned and had no choice but to follow him.
Huangfu Chen led her downstairs, where several young gentlemen were standing, dressed in fine clothes and looking impressive. They should be young gentlemen from aristocratic families.
"I would like to introduce to you that these are the young masters of the Li family and the Ding family..."
Huangfuchen introduced her one by one, and coincidentally, among them was Li Quan, the eldest son of the Li family.
Ling Xuewei didn't expect to meet him again on such an occasion. After being slightly surprised, she nodded lightly towards him.
Li Quan also returned the salute, and then the two of them looked away.
"This is Ling Feng, my friend."
After Huangfu Chen finished speaking, several young masters showed surprise on their faces.
friend?
You must know that His Highness the Crown Prince has a high level of vision that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Ordinary people cannot see him. Now he would look at a young boy in a different light. How could they not be surprised?
"I've met Mr. Ling."
Several people saluted one after another, and Ling Xuewei returned the gift.
"I wonder where Young Master Ling comes from? Why have we never seen you?" one of the Young Masters asked.
Ling Xuewei smiled lightly, "Ling is just a nobody, not from a noble family."
Several people were even more surprised after hearing this. Ordinary people? How is that possible?
Facing their surprised looks, Ling Xuewei just smiled indifferently. Knowing that the young masters from these aristocratic families were very curious about her identity, she didn't say anything more.
When several people saw this, they didn't ask any more questions due to Huangfu Chen's presence.
"Your Highness, I heard that the preliminary examinations for the three major sects of Taihe Sect, Chiyang Sect and Frost Snow Sect will end in three days. You have also been invited to participate in the selection. Is it true?" someone suddenly asked.
Huangfu Chen chuckled, "Your news is quite accurate. Yes, I have indeed received the invitation."
Several people couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this.
You must know that the person who can take the initiative to invite the three major sects is definitely not an ordinary person! At least in Tianxuan Continent, he is a well-known figure! This kind of honor has not been achieved by even the elders of the four major families of Qinglong Kingdom.
Pass!
"Your Highness is so amazing!"
"Yes! With this kind of treatment, you are the only one in the entire Tianxuan Continent!"
…
There were compliments from all around, but Ling Xuewei was the only one who was secretly confused.
Didn’t I hear that Huangfu Chen had been selected by the Tianxing Sect a long time ago? Why are there other sects recruiting him?
As if he knew her doubts, Huangfu Chen approached her and whispered, "They are just trying to recruit me as a show, they don't really want to recruit me."
Ling Xuewei understood after hearing this.
It seems that he wants to use Huangfu Chen's fame and appeal to expand his disciples. At the same time, he also shows that he cherishes talents. As expected of a sect in Middle-earth, he is considerate.
"I heard that His Highness will go to the Middle Earth this year and be selected as an inner disciple of the Tianxing Sect. I wonder if it is true?" Several young masters asked curiously.
Huangfu Chen's eyes flashed slightly, "Where did you hear this? How come I don't know about it?"
Several young masters looked at each other and then said, "Now the news has spread all over Yunshui City. You originally agreed with the Tianxing Sect that you would go to the Middle Earth at the age of twenty-five. Now, your birthday is less than ten days away, so
It is inevitable that everyone will make some guesses..."
"Isn't it my birthday yet? Why are you all making such a fuss?"
"Your Highness, forgive me. After all, you are an indispensable person in our Qinglong Kingdom. If you leave, our clan will certainly be at a loss..."
"Yes, since His Highness came to power, the court has been harmonious, and the people have praised it, making our Qinglong Kingdom stronger and stronger. If you leave suddenly, you will have lost a pillar!"
…
All the young men spoke one after another with excited expressions.
Huangfu Chen waved his hand, "What you said is wrong. Even if I don't have this palace, my father is here, several princes are here, and there are also the four major families and the ministers in the court! I believe that even if I leave, I will not be here.
I know your thoughts and believe in your abilities. What’s more, haven’t I left yet? Isn’t it too early to consider these things now?”
"But His Highness's position in Qinglong cannot be replaced by anyone! If you leave, what kind of atmosphere will there be in this court?"
"yes……"
…
Ling Xuewei looked at these excited and admiring young masters from aristocratic families, and sighed in her heart about Huangfu Chen's unshakable position among the clan and courtiers.
To be supported by so many young talents and young clans, he is truly amazing.
"Okay, today is a hunting banquet, so don't mention anything irrelevant. What did the young masters gain today? Let me take a look at it."
Huangfuchen changed the subject and talked to them about today's hunting.
The young masters were all smart, so they didn't ask any more questions and showed him today's results one after another...
Ling Xuewei did not step forward to interfere, but stood aside not far away.
Li Quan, the eldest son of the Li family, did not come forward either.
"I didn't expect to see the young master here." Li Quan suddenly spoke, looking at her with gentle eyes.
Ling Xuewei chuckled, "So the prince still remembers me."
Li Quan's face was gentle and elegant, "Young master is not someone who can be easily forgotten."
Ling Xuewei was startled and then smiled, "The prince is so complimentary. The prince's purity and elegance are truly impressive."
"Ha... I bumped into him accidentally that day. I thought the young master was from the Xiao family, but it turned out he was not."
"I just went with my friends to visit Patriarch Xiao that day. I didn't expect that the prince would come here. It was a coincidence."
"Yes, but today is not the second time I meet Young Master. In fact, I have met Young Master Ling before that day."
Ling Xuewei was surprised, "Oh? Where is it? Why don't I remember it?"
Li Quan's eyes were gentle, "In Crescent Moon Lake."
Ling Xuewei understood it as soon as she heard it.
"The young master was there that night?"
Li Quan nodded, "At that time, I went on a night trip to Crescent Moon Lake with some of my brothers at home, and happened to meet Xiao Ling, the young master of the Xiao family, so..."
Ling Xuewei understood without him having to finish, and said with a wry smile, "To make the prince laugh, my friends and I had some conflicts with Young Master Xiao that night, but fortunately His Highness the Crown Prince happened to be passing by and resolved the dispute. I didn't expect that the prince would meet him."
Yes, I’m really ashamed.”
"Young Master Ling, you don't have to say that. When we met that day, I already knew the identity of the person next to you. In fact, I have a few connections with Xiao Yifeng, Young Master Xiao. Young Master Xiao is upright and upright in his work. He should not easily become enemies with others.
I think I came that night out of necessity."
The man in front of him spoke in a gentle and gentle manner, without the arrogance of a young man from aristocratic families, making him feel very friendly.
"Thank you for your condolences, Your Majesty. We did have some verbal conflicts with Young Master Xiao Ling that night. I hope we didn't ruin the His Majesty's happiness."
"How could it be? I've heard about what happened that night. It's not your fault. Mr. Ling doesn't have to blame himself."
After briefly chatting with the man in front of her, Ling Xuewei discovered that this man had a special charm that made people get close to him involuntarily.
"What are you talking about? You look very happy?" At this time, Huangfu Chen came over, Ling Xuewei and Li Quan saluted him, and then said, "It was just a casual chat, why is Your Highness here?"
"The palace servants are counting the prey. I saw that you were chatting with great interest, so I came over to take a look."
Li Quan smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Ling and I have met before, and now we see each other very well. Mr. Ling is a person worth getting to know."
A trace of surprise flashed in Huangfuchen's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "It's rare to hear the Crown Prince commenting on a person like this."
Li Quan smiled and said nothing, Huangfu Chen looked at Ling Xuewei, "I just didn't hear you mention seeing her before?"
