The few times Xiao Zheng went to the palace before, he always used the back door or the side door. He kept a low profile when entering and exiting, and he didn't dare to wander around. Afraid of arousing suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble.
But this time, he entered the palace as a distinguished guest of the Emperor's first heir, Crown Prince Tenxio. Not only are the treatments different, but you don’t have to hide it from anyone. Therefore, he swaggers through the main entrance and enjoys the high-scale treatment of the palace.
"Good evening, Mr. Xiao."
Two rows of neatly dressed palace maids nodding to welcome him, coupled with the antique buildings at the entrance of the palace, really made Xiao Zheng return to the illusion of ancient times. Smiling and nodding, he accepted the warm welcome from the palace ladies. Under the guidance of a middle-aged butler, he strode to the building where distinguished guests were entertained.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the building, Xiao Zheng met Prince Ling Lainei who was sitting in a wheelchair and being slowly pushed by Baiji Mitsui.
Different from the previous meetings, Prince Ling Lainei also attended the meeting tonight, with a touch of elegance on his already gentle and beautiful face. Eyes wandering, looking forward to the brilliance.
"Good evening, Mr. Xiao."
Driven by Bai Di Sanjing, Prince Ling Lainei slowly came to Xiao Zheng and walked side by side.
"Prince Ling Lainei is so beautiful. He is like an immortal from the Nine Heavens." Xiao Zheng praised with a smile, very polite.
"Boss Xiao is joking." Prince Ling Lainei smiled. "Who doesn't know that Boss Xiao has a real girlfriend who is the most powerful person in the country? He also has a father-in-law who is as wise as a monster? I believe that in the near future, Mr. Xiao will definitely become a dragon and a phoenix among people, the one who controls the wind and rain."
Xiao Zheng smiled reservedly, but said in his heart: "Lin Chaotian is a demon, but it's a pity that his position is different from mine. If nothing happens, there will definitely be a life and death battle in the future. It will be difficult to be kind."
However, these words just kept spinning in his stomach, and it was naturally impossible for Xiao Zheng to tell Prince Ling Lainei. This is the principle behind the saying that family scandals should not be made public.
"Mr. Xiao. Cousin Ling Lai!"
While chatting, a powerful voice suddenly came from in front of the door. Immediately afterwards, a figure like an iron tower appeared leisurely. He walked towards the two of them with a smile on his face.
This man has a neat suit, a tall and majestic figure, and looks like a clothes hanger. His whole body exudes a strong and powerful temperament. His facial features are as sharp as a knife, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. A face with the Chinese character full of masculinity.
Who is this person
It is none other than the first heir to the throne, Crown Prince Tianxiong!
This son has a very good reputation among the royal family. Young and talented. Even among the people and the Internet, it has a very high degree of support. Many Japanese female netizens warmly call him husband. Very topical.
Xiao Zheng took a sudden look and felt that this person was very popular and that he was a big shot with a lot of knowledge.
Tianxiong is only thirty-two years old. But he is already a very important figure in the palace. Apart from the dying emperor, he, the orthodox heir, is the most powerful.
Xiao Zhengneng became a distinguished guest of the royal family and was personally entertained by the future emperor. This shows its high influence within the royal family. But at the same time, does it not reflect his international influence from the side
Of course, Xiao Zheng believed that he could be so valued by the Japanese royal family. The main reason is that he and Ling Lai have a very good personal relationship. Otherwise, Crown Prince Tianxiong might not invite him to dinner.
certainly. No matter what the reason was, Ma Yingjun and Si Yan were extremely yearning for Xiao Zheng's dinner tonight. Also extremely envious.
"How many royal families in the world have political power? The Emperor of Japan is definitely one of them. Boss, you are so awesome. You can become the guest of the future Emperor." Ma Yingjun admired him sincerely. thumbs up.
The Crown Prince strode towards the two of them, and the maids and guards nearby saluted. It can be seen that the crown prince has a high status in the palace and is deeply respected.
When Xiao Zheng saw this, he also bowed politely and said with a smile: "Thank you, Prince, for meeting me in person."
Tianxiong smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao is too polite. With your status, it is my honor to accept my invitation to have this simple meal."
Ling Lai also saluted respectfully and showed her full posture. However, Tianxiong hurriedly took two steps forward, supported Ling Lai who was slightly bent over, and said softly: "Sister, there is no need to be polite. We are all one family."
The words are sincere and touching.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Ling Lai smiled gently, gently.
Judging by appearance alone, this is definitely a close family. But how could Xiao Zheng be confused by appearances now
He could even imagine that when Miyamoto and the Crown Prince Tianxiong, who had just met last night, got along, the two would only be more polite and affectionate.
After chatting for a while, Tianxiong personally led the two of them through the door. Then he walked through the front hall and went straight to the restaurant.
The restaurant is huge. Four well-dressed maids stood at the table. When the three of them entered the restaurant, they saluted uniformly and with thorough etiquette.
"Mr. Xiao, you are just living a simple life and not taking good care of me. Please don't dislike me." Tianxiong invited the two of them to sit down and said very modestly.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng slowly sat down and said with a smile: "The prince is too polite. This is my first time to eat royal food. I feel happy before it's too late, so how dare I dislike it?"
Ling Lai took advantage of every opportunity and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, the emperor rarely receives foreign guests. It is even more rare to invite friends to dinner here."
These words were clearly meant to speak for the Crown Prince Tianxiong. Xiao Zheng understood in his heart, but became more polite and courteous.
Although Xiao Zheng is not as hostile to Japan as many young people are. But history cannot be forgotten, even if it is not to be hated. But there is still some prejudice. Even if the invasion of that year has nothing to do with today's royal children, even their parents may not have been born back then. But this kind of hostility flowing in the blood and bones is still difficult to completely eliminate.
However, Xiao Zheng has already mastered superficial work. How could such childish little thoughts be superficial
After Tianxiong dismissed the palace maid, there were only three people left in the large restaurant. He picked up the wine glass and toasted to Xiao Zheng: "Mr. Xiao, I only welcome you with a glass of thin wine."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Xiao Zheng raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Very happy.
After drinking, a look of admiration appeared on Tianxiong's handsome and mighty face: "Mr. Xiao has a good drinking capacity. No wonder my sister respects you so much."
"Your Highness thinks highly of me. I'm just an ordinary businessman." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said modestly.
"Ordinary businessman?" Tianxiong smiled and shook his head with a look of disbelief. "If Mr. Xiao is just an ordinary businessman, how can my little uncle try his best to win you over? Even if you offend him again and again, he still hopes to reach a consensus with you and become an ally."
After just a glass of wine, the crown prince went straight to the point without any pretense. Xiao Zheng was quite surprised. He glanced at Ling Lai out of the corner of his eye and saw that the other party's expression was as usual, as if he had expected it. He stopped doing Tai Chi and said with a smile: "I don't like to be enemies with others, but some people are destined not to be friends."
