Ling Han could have been a trump card for the third prince, so why did he have to use it so quickly
That's because he is in the critical period of competing for the throne. The people he is hosting today are all outstanding descendants of middle-ranking families in the imperial capital. If he can get them to declare their allegiance to him, it will be equivalent to gaining the approval of these families.
Don't underestimate these families. Hundreds of mid-level families add up to a considerable amount of influence. The key is that the Eight Great Families are too aloof. No matter which prince comes to the throne, they are still the Eight Great Families. They will never advance one more point or retreat one point. On the contrary, every Rain Emperor has to coordinate the eight great families. Relationships are the backbone of the country.
Therefore, it is impossible for the eight wealthy families to win over each other. Naturally, the third prince can only focus on the middle-class families. Why are there only more than thirty people here today? That's because the other mid-level families have been divided up by him, the eldest prince, and the seventh prince, leaving only these undecided families waiting for price.
In the end, no matter which prince takes the throne, the family that is on the wrong side will definitely be ostracized, and it is not impossible to leave the imperial capital in the end.
Everyone looked shocked when they heard that Ling Han actually had the background of two high-level Xuan-level alchemists.
Too cool, right
However, the alchemist's status is aloof and he will rarely take the initiative to intervene in the power struggle. Now it seems that Ling Han and the third prince have an extremely close relationship. Does this mean that the third prince has the support of two super alchemists
Darling, that's serious. With the support of these two awesome masters, even if the Rain Kingdom already has a successor to the throne, I'm afraid we have to think about it again, lest the two super alchemists won't cooperate after the new emperor takes the throne. , making trouble.
When the three princes competed for the throne, it was originally the third prince who had a slightly better chance of winning, but now the support of the two giants suddenly appeared, it suddenly became stable!
Thinking of this, these young people suddenly became extremely enthusiastic and lowered their posture.
It turns out that although they consider themselves subordinates, they are a little arrogant in their hearts, because you are trying to trap me! But it's different now. After knowing the third prince's "trump card", these people took the initiative to get close to him.
Xuan-level high-level alchemy masters, just throwing in some elixirs at random is enough to drive them crazy.
The third prince saw it and a smile appeared on his lips. This was exactly what he wanted to see. He couldn't wait to play this card because the Rain Emperor planned to abdicate and concentrate on studying martial arts. The new emperor would be on the throne within five years at most, so he had to hurry up.
"Hahahaha, let's drink!" The third prince raised his glass. Immediately, everyone also raised their glasses at the same time. When the third prince drank the wine in one gulp, the others naturally did not dare to leave any wine in the glass and drank it all. , dared to sit down only after the third prince sat down.
The third prince is full of ambition. Now he is only in Xihua Pavilion. In the future, more important people will pay homage to him in the court.
The maids accompanying the wine poured wine for everyone one after another. The reason why the consumption in Xihua Pavilion is so expensive is because these maids are not only beautiful, but also have excellent temperament. Some even have the cultivation level of Juyuan Realm, which allows them to accompany them. Wine has a strong sense of conquest for men.
Ling Han was one of the most dazzling stars tonight. He was accompanied by a beautiful woman on his left and right, both of whom were at the Juyuan Realm. You must know that they are all young girls in their twenties, but they have already entered the Juyuan Realm. Although they are extremely talented, they also need to invest a lot of resources.
These two women have received strict training. They speak softly and move lightly. What's even more valuable is that they are very good at detecting facial expressions. As long as Ling Han scans his eyes, they will know which dish Ling Han wants to eat and immediately take the initiative to bring it over. Entered Ling Han's mouth.
This kind of ecstasy will definitely make young people lose control and easily fall into the trap of gentleness. But what kind of character is Ling Han? He has been surrounded by thousands of flowers, but he has not touched a single leaf.
He was not restrained and enjoyed the service of the two women with peace of mind, but his eyes were clear and showed no lust, which made the third prince who had been paying attention to him couldn't help but think more highly of him, and even had an illusion. , as if what he saw was not a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, but a supremely powerful man who had gone through many hardships and had seen countless big scenes.
Ling Han had the background of two giants in alchemy, so he naturally became the target of everyone's efforts to please him. However, Ling Han had no intention of paying attention to him. He only occasionally exchanged a few words with the third prince, Li Hao, and Zhu Xueyi. I spend most of my time eating.
This is normal. In his previous life, he was the Alchemy Emperor, so how could he be in the mood to deal with these pretentious little guys.
No one felt anything wrong with Ling Han's arrogance at all, because the alchemist was such a proud person, and it would be abnormal if Ling Han didn't have this arrogance.
Seeing that Ling Han was not ready to take action, they naturally turned to Li Hao and Zhu Xueyi and invited them enthusiastically, making Li Hao and Li Hao both flattered.
In the past, a young master from a small family dared to humiliate them, but now, many young masters from mid-level families are vying to be friends with them! The two of them couldn't help but look at Ling Han with grateful eyes, all of this was because of him.
When the third prince saw that Ling Han was just drinking and eating, and not taking the opportunity to touch the maids around him like the others, he said, "Brother Ling, are you not satisfied with these two beauties?"
Hearing this, the two beauties looked sad and touching at the same time. Even if they knew they were just having fun, they couldn't help but feel pity.
"Haha, if Brother Ling thinks they are not gentle enough, why not let Zi Yan accompany you." The third prince suddenly said.
Zi Yan's pretty face suddenly changed, she couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes showed sadness. She was not acting, but really felt heartache. She thought she had a very high status in the heart of the third prince, but she didn't expect that it was still a card that could be played.
Li Hao and Zhu Xueyi felt their hearts pounding. Zi Yan was so majestic before, but now she had to drink with Ling Han. The contrast was really huge.
Ling Han smiled and said, "Miss Zi Yan, are you willing?"
Zi Yan's delicate body trembled again, but she said: "Zi Yan is willing."
Ling Han shook his head and said: "A gentleman does not take away others' favors. Miss Zi Yan belongs to the third prince, so she should stay with him!"
Zi Yan suddenly showed a look of gratitude. Although she did not dare to disobey the third prince's order, being able to escape this disaster naturally made her favor Ling Han greatly, and she gained a new understanding of the third prince.
In front of the throne, everyone is just a pawn that he can use. If he follows him so blindly, what will happen to him in the end
She looked a little confused.
"Hahahaha, Third Prince, I'm late, can you come in and get together?" At this moment, a clear voice came from outside, but it was full of powerful aura.
The third prince's face changed slightly and he blurted out: "Feng Yan!"
