The young man walked towards the front of the hall, his steps were extremely steady, his eyes were firmly fixed in front of him, and his slightly immature face revealed an air of pride that was difficult to conceal, making it obvious at a glance that he was an extraordinary person.
At this moment, everyone at the banquet looked at the young man's approaching figure, with a look of surprise on most of their faces.
It was the grandson who came. Could it be that the prince asked him to host the banquet?
After thinking about it, some people vaguely understood the prince's intention of doing this, but they were afraid that it would have no effect.
At this time, the young man was sitting on the prince's throne, looking at the many figures in front of him, but did not speak.
The hall was extremely quiet, no one made a sound, and the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
"Why didn't the emperor come?" Finally, a voice broke the calm. Qi Xian looked at the grandson on the throne calmly, and his tone was very casual.
The grandson looked at Qi Xian and said calmly: "My father is in ill health and is unable to attend the banquet. He specially ordered me to come and cleanse the two imperial uncles. In addition, my father asked me to convey this message to the two imperial uncles."
One word."
"What are you talking about?" Qi Xian raised his eyebrows.
"The two imperial uncles in the Xujie group are frightened. Take a good rest for a while. My father will visit you again someday." Taisun said.
After hearing this, Qi Xian smiled and said, "When I get back, tell the prince that he can rest in peace and rest without worrying about us. We will go visit him in a few days."
"I must convey the emperor's wishes." Taisun replied, then looked at the crowd and said: "To hold this banquet today, in addition to welcoming the two emperors' uncles, we also have to announce something important.
.”
After the words fell, everyone's expressions became condensed.
Announced at the reception banquet, it seems that this matter is unusual.
"What's the matter?" Qi Xian asked.
"In a few days, it will be my father's birthday. My father plans to hold this birthday grandly and invite heroes from all over the world to celebrate together. Tomorrow, a decree will be issued to all the city lords' palaces, and the birthday will be held in the palace in half a month."
The grandson's voice came out slowly, and many people showed shocked expressions at the same time. In the past, the prince's birthday was very simple, but this time he went against the norm and invited the world's heroes to celebrate his birthday together. What is the purpose of this?
"Brother Imperial is indifferent by nature and never likes excitement. Why do you want to hold such a grand birthday this time?" Qi Min looked at the grandson and asked, instead of calling him Prince, he called him Imperial Brother.
"I don't understand either. My father must have his own ideas." Taisun replied.
"The palace is the center of imperial power. If someone does something rebellious, the consequences will be disastrous. Has the prince considered it?" Qi Xian asked calmly.
Many people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. If rebellion really happened, the prince would be blamed.
Taisun turned his eyes to Qi Xian and said calmly: "There are so many powerful people in the palace, no one dares to act arrogantly."
"This is no child's play. There are always some people in this world who are not afraid of death. What if someone is really wanton?" Qi Xian asked again.
"From what the emperor said, it seems that he does not agree with my father holding this birthday." Taisun said calmly. Although his face was still calm, there was a bit of majesty in his eyebrows. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Qi Xian.
Many people looked at the young man on the throne. His grandson showed an imperial temperament at such a young age, and had a faint trace of the emperor's demeanor back then. If he had been born ten years earlier, he would never be in this situation.
But it's a pity that we don't have enough luck.
"I have no objection to holding the prince's birthday, but there are many inconveniences in holding it inside the palace. If it is arranged outside the palace, it can avoid some things from happening and satisfy the prince's wish. Why not." Qi Xian said lightly: "
Besides, this matter is very important, and the prince may not be able to make the decision, so he still needs to ask the emperor for instructions."
"If it is true as the emperor's uncle said, someone can do rebellious things in the palace, even if the father does not celebrate his birthday in the palace, that person can still do it, can't he?" Taisun asked.
Qi Xian's eyes suddenly froze, was he questioning him?
"As for the emperor, uncle, don't worry too much. My father has already asked for permission, and the emperor has no objection." Taisun spoke again. When he spoke, he looked directly at Qi Xian. Although he was Qi Xian's junior, he was angry.
The market is no less generous.
"This..." Many people were shocked in their hearts. This reception feast was very different from what they expected. It seemed to be a reception, but in fact it was a demonstration.
The prince has been silent for so many years, is he finally about to explode?
If you don't move, it's enough; if you move, it's amazing.
"Qi Wen, is this how your father taught you to talk to your elders?" Qi Xian's voice suddenly turned cold and he called his grandson by his name, obviously very angry.
The hall became quiet again, and not a single sound was heard.
Many people looked at the young man on the throne. As the grandson, he was nominally the future emperor, and his status was extremely noble. However, the prince might not be able to sit in that position. Qi Xian would naturally not put him before the dust settled.
This grandson takes it seriously.
In the final analysis, Taisun's position is not stable enough.
Qi Wen stared at Qi Xian closely, without showing any emotion on his face. After a moment, he only heard him say: "My nephew's words were inappropriate just now. I want to thank my uncle Haihan."
"There won't be a next time." Qi Xian said lightly. After that, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Seeing Qi Xian leaving the table directly, many people had a look of deep meaning in their eyes. It seemed that Qi Xian was in a very unhappy mood and didn't even bother to do anything superficial. This not only did not take Qi Wen seriously, but also did not give the prince face.
They had a strong premonition in their hearts that a storm that would sweep through the dynasty was about to come.
"I'm leaving too." Qi Min said to Qi Wen.
"Uncle, please go slowly." Qi Wen replied. Qi Min left the hall without saying anything, and Qi Siqi left with him.
After what happened just now, others had no interest in continuing to enjoy it, so they all said goodbye to Qi Wen and left.
After a while, Qi Wen came to a manor. The manor was not very large and had some flowers and plants planted. It looked very simple.
Qi Wen looked forward and saw a middle-aged figure lying on the Taishi chair. He looked about forty years old and his face looked very gentle. However, what was unusual was that all his hair turned into white silk, giving people a
Strange feeling.
This middle-aged figure is the current prince Qi Yuan.
"You're back, how's the situation?" Qi Yuan asked.
"As my father expected, the Fifth Emperor's Uncle raised a voice of opposition, while the Seventh Emperor's Uncle remained silent." Qi Wen replied.
Qi Yuan showed a faint smile. He had watched these two brothers grow up, and he knew very well what their personalities were like.
"How sure are you, father?" Qi Wen asked, looking very nervous. This was not only related to their fate, but also related to the future national destiny of the Qi Dynasty.
"If you are not sure, will you still insist?" Qi Yuan asked with a smile, his tone was very gentle.
"No matter how confident the father is, the child will definitely abide by the father's wishes and will never regret it." Qi Wen said in a deep voice, with a look of determination in his eyes. He had already prepared for the worst.
Seeing the look on Qi Wen's face, Qi Yuan sighed in his heart and said, "It's my father's incompetence that has dragged you down."
"If there was no father, how would the child come to the world? This is the destiny of the child's birth. The child has never resented the father." Qi Wen said seriously. He knew what a great man his father was.
In his mind, no one can compare with his father.
"Father, everything has been arranged. You don't need to worry. You just need to wait for your birthday to arrive," Qi Yuan said.
"If he doesn't come by then, what do you plan to do?" Qi Wen asked.
"He will definitely come." Qi Yuan said with a smile, looking very confident.
Qi Wen didn't say anything more. Since his father said that the man would definitely come, he must be fully prepared.
…………
The next day, hundreds of city lords' palaces in the Da Qi Dynasty released a message at the same time. His Royal Highness would hold a birthday party in the palace, and invited the world's heroes to congratulate him on his birthday.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately spread at an extremely fast speed. It soon spread throughout the Daqi Dynasty, and it could be said that everyone knew about it.
For a time, everyone was talking about this important event.
His Royal Highness has never held a public birthday before. Is holding such a grand birthday now a whim, or does it have a deeper meaning?
Soon there were some voices saying that the prince's birthday celebration was probably related to the opening of the Ruins Realm.
As soon as those people came out of the Ruins Realm, news came out that the prince was holding a birthday party. It was hard not to imagine that there might be some connection between the two.
More importantly, the prince invited the heroes of the world to the palace for a banquet. The so-called heroes of the world probably refer to those geniuses who entered the ruin world.
However, this is just their speculation and has no substantive basis. After all, the news does not mention anyone as a hero. It may be a genius among the younger generation, or it may be a strong person who has been famous for a long time.
There are also some voices saying that the prince's birthday celebration at this time is probably to prepare for his future ascendancy.
After all, they rarely hear news about the prince, and know very little about the prince. They don't know what kind of person he is. Now that the prince holds such a birthday, it just gives the world a chance to get to know him.
Not long after the news came out, countless people went to Qihuang City, and most of them were young people from powerful families. They wanted to try their luck to see if they could enter the palace to witness the birthday.
It would be a blessing in life if I could see the prince in person.
After all, the prince is the future head of the dynasty. It would undoubtedly be a very honorable thing to say in front of others that he had met the prince in his youth.
On the Immortal Mountain, Xiao Muyang and others are concentrating on their cultivation and have no idea about what is going on outside.
Song Chunqiu left Fairy Mountain on this day. When he came back, he immediately found Xiao Muyang and said with a serious face: "Something big happened outside."
Xiao Muyang's expression suddenly froze there. He rarely saw such a solemn expression on Song Chunqiu's face, and couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"
Then Song Chunqiu told the story about the prince's birthday, and a strange look appeared in Xiao Muyang's eyes. It was indeed very thought-provoking that the prince held a birthday at this time.
"I have a hunch that this matter has something to do with you." Song Chunqiu said.
Xiao Muyang's heart trembled when he heard this, and he looked at Song Chunqiu in shock. Was it related to him?
"Senior, what you mean is that the prince wants to use his birthday to lure me to the palace?" Xiao Muyang asked tentatively.
"That's right." Song Chunqiu nodded: "This is very likely."
"This junior doesn't understand." Xiao Muyang replied: "If the prince wants me to go to the palace, the easiest way is to send someone to take me away. With his status, it should not be difficult to do this."
The prince is the future leader of the dynasty. Although Senior Sword God is very hidden here, he cannot hide it from the prince's sight. After all, many people saw him leaving with the sword god at that time. If the prince wants to find him, he will definitely come to the sword god.
"If it were other members of the royal family, they would definitely be looking for you to kill you, but the prince is an exception." Song Chunqiu said.
Xiao Muyang's expression became stagnant again. Is the prince an exception?
"What do you mean by this, senior? Could it be that the prince is different from the rest of the royal family?" Xiao Muyang asked curiously.
In his opinion, the palaces of the royal family are very deep, and all the royal family members he has come into contact with before are like this, and the prince is a being who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, so how can he be different from other people.
"Prince, you have no cultivation." Song Chunqiu spat out a voice.
Xiao Muyang suddenly trembled in his heart. So, the prince is an ordinary person?
"The prince has a congenital defect and cannot practice cultivation. I only found out when I went to the palace. The royal family has completely blocked this matter, so not many people know about it." Song Chunqiu said again.
Xiao Muyang couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time. The prince turned out to be an ordinary person with no cultivation. Once this matter spread, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.
Then he thought of something, and his expression suddenly froze there.
If the prince has no cultivation, can he still sit on the throne?
This is a world where the strong are respected, especially among the royal family. How can a prince with no cultivation ability convince the public?
But he didn't think too much about it. This was an internal matter within the royal family and had nothing to do with him.
Thinking of what Song Chunqiu said just now, Xiao Muyang asked: "How can senior conclude that the prince's birthday celebration is to lure me over, and that he will not do anything to me?"
"The prince is different from other members of the royal family. He has a peaceful personality, is gentle and elegant, and has no desire to kill. Perhaps it is because of his lack of cultivation that he has such a character." Song Chunqiu spoke slowly.
There was a look of surprise in Xiao Muyang's eyes. He didn't expect that the high-ranking prince would have such a character. If he hadn't heard it from the senior swordsman himself, he would never have believed it.
"Although the prince has a gentle personality, he is a member of the royal family after all, and I may pose a threat to the royal family. Based on this alone, the prince has reason to kill me. Has the senior considered it?" Xiao Muyang asked.
Maybe the prince is an elegant man, but he is the prince after all, how can he not think about the royal family!
