As soon as Kong Ming returned to the table and sat down, he saw the eldest prince Hu Ying holding up the wine glass and said to Kong Ming with a smile: "Today is Brother Kong Ming's birthday. Although there are many elders at the same table, I still want to be the first to drink this glass of wine." I respect Brother Kong Ming! Brother Kong Ming is amazingly talented and is a rare talent that our empire can only encounter in a hundred years. In the future, he will definitely become famous in the mainland and be the best in the world! The whole country of our Cangnan Empire will be proud of Brother Kong Ming!"
Hu Ying's praise can be said to have set the tone extremely high, and as the eldest prince of the Hu royal family, his words carry more weight than ordinary people. The words of praise coming out of his mouth are almost equivalent to Imperial official approval. It can be said that these short words recognized Kong Ming's status as the number one young talent in the Cangnan Empire!
According to common sense, it is more appropriate for words of praise like this to be uttered by the emperor Hu De himself. Although Hu Ying is the eldest son of the Hu royal family, he has not been appointed as the prince and is represented in public Speaking in the tone of the empire seems to be somewhat transgressive. However, since these words are a great compliment to Kong Ming, who would raise objections at this time
It has to be said that Hu Ying is really good at seizing the opportunity to speak. On such an occasion, he almost praised Kong Ming in the tone of a prince. This will naturally create an illusion to all the guests, as if the prince's position has already been achieved. It’s in the eldest prince’s pocket!
The third prince, Hu Hao, did not want all the limelight to be stolen by Hu Ying. He laughed loudly at the side and also raised his wine glass and said: "Brother, at the reception banquet that day, I was impressed by the magnanimity of brother Kong Ming. I decided that He is a peerless talent. As soon as the emperor met today, he knew that what the younger brother said was true and not exaggerated at all, right? It would be a pity that the two royal brothers missed the reception banquet. If the younger brother hadn't brought brother Kong Ming's By handing over the invitation, won't the two royal brothers miss such a grand event again?"
Hu Hao's words made it seem like he was very familiar with Kong Ming and seemed to have an unusual relationship. But in fact, there was no friendship between him and Kong Ming. Instead, Kong Ming asked him to hand over the invitation that day, clearly rejecting Hu Hao's "good intention"!
However, how many people can see this? Most people would only think that Kong Ming gave Hu Hao three invitations that day, and Hu Hao also promised that he would come with the two royal brothers. But today the three princes came hand in hand, which makes it seem like Hu Hao is It’s the same as Hao being able to make decisions on behalf of the other two princes!
Although such speculation is inconsistent with the facts, it still invisibly boosts Hu Hao's momentum! It can be said that Hu Ying and Hu Hao have become the focus of everyone's attention just by talking.
Kong Ming originally wanted to be polite, but before he could speak, he saw the second prince Hu Xiong, whom he met for the first time, raised his glass to him and said loudly: "You are a true hero, you deserve a toast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Xiong drank the wine in one gulp, then turned his hand and poured the glass down. Sure enough, not a drop of wine was spilled.
Hu Ying and Hu Hao both raised their wine glasses to Kong Ming, but they were busy chatting, and before receiving a response from Kong Ming, they followed the general etiquette and held their glasses motionless. Who would have thought that Hu Xiong would be so short-sighted and propose a toast to Kong Ming first
Hu Xiong's behavior is clearly straightforward and can be regarded as a true temperament. It also shows the difference between him and Hu Ying and Hu Hao!
This second prince looks very rough and arrogant on the outside, but in reality he is very simple and definitely not a rough man without any scheming. He directly toasted to Kong Ming and did it first as a gesture of respect, immediately leaving the other two princes holding the wine glasses aside. No matter how beautiful the scenes between these two princes were, how could they be as free and easy as Hu Xiong's direct toast? From this point of view, Hu Xiong is indeed exceptional in being treated differently by the Forbidden Army!
These three princes of the Hu royal family all have extraordinary qualities and can be regarded as young talents. If they are not given more opportunities to practice and let them display their abilities in all aspects, how can they be able to do so? Do you know who is most suitable to inherit the throne
At this moment, Kong Ming somewhat understood what Emperor Hood was doing. It was not an easy task to choose a successor from such outstanding three sons. It was better to let them compete on their own. In the end, the stronger one would naturally be the winner. Win!
Although doing so may lead to the tragedy of brotherly feuding, the imperial family has always been ruthless, and Tianyuan Continent believes in respecting the strong. As long as the truly strong can ascend to the throne, what does a little sacrifice mean
Also, because the three princes all carry exotic treasures with hidden auras, others cannot detect the extent of their cultivation. Otherwise, looking at the level of cultivation can be regarded as an aspect to compare which of the three princes is better.
Now Kong Ming knows more about the Hu royal family than before. He knows that the Hu royal family is proficient in the art of forging. It is estimated that this rare treasure with hidden aura is also unique to their royal family. I have to say that this kind of low profile that hides strength is indeed an excellent means of governance!
Everyone knows that the Hu royal family leads the Cangnan Empire and is respected in Liangzhou for its strength, but how strong is the Hu royal family? Even top wealthy families like the Kong family and the Cao family can't completely find out!
With such a sense of mystery, naturally no one would take the liberty to provoke the Hu royal family!
Seeing that the banquet had just begun, the three princes began to fight openly and secretly. Naturally, Kong Ming did not want to make the situation tense, so he raised his wine glass, saluted in a circle, and said with a polite smile: "The compliments of the three highnesses are really appreciated." I feel a little ashamed and unworthy. Moreover, if the pressure on my shoulders is too great, I am afraid that I will live up to your high expectations! I think that the Cangnan Empire has outstanding people, and there are many talents in the world. It is just a coincidence. I am a little ahead. I believe that over time, the achievements of countless talents will never be inferior to mine! Today, I would like to thank the three highnesses for coming to celebrate your birthday in person. I drank this glass of water and wine in one go!"
As soon as Kong Ming finished speaking, he just like Hu Xiong, drank all the wine in the glass, and then turned the glass down.
Hu Ying and Hu Hao were initially put off by Hu Xiong, but now that they saw Kong Ming raising a toast, they naturally wanted to take this opportunity to step down, so they raised their glasses and said, "Please!" and drank them all in one go!
Kong Fanshu saw all these changes at the table. He didn't want Kong Ming's birthday party to turn into an open and secret fight between the three princes, so he laughed, raised his glass and said, "Look at you young people. I am very pleased to see that the Cangnan Empire is full of vigor and vitality. There is a successor to the Cangnan Empire! Sure enough, there are talents from the Jiangshan Dynasty. Although today's banquet is nominally to celebrate the birthday of my family's Kong Ming, in fact it is also for all the young people sitting here. Gentlemen, encourage me! Because the future glory of the empire will fall on you! Today, let’s all drink from the cup and wish my Cangnan Empire prosperity forever!”
Kong Fanshu's words also set a very high tone, but as he has the status of the Prime Minister of the Empire, there is nothing wrong with speaking in such a tone. And facing this old man who stands at the pinnacle of power in the Cangnan Empire, who dares not to give him face? Almost everyone raised their glasses together, and everyone was respectful to each other!
After such a round of toasts, the atmosphere in the banquet naturally became lively, and as the dancers and jugglers of the Kong family came on stage to perform, it could be said that everyone was singing and laughing, and everyone was drunk.
Since Kong Ming was the protagonist of this birthday party, he naturally became the busiest person. Almost everyone wanted to toast him, and all kinds of praises poured in towards Kong Ming like a drop in price. If Kong Ming was really a fourteen-year-old boy whose mind was not yet fully mature, and he was slapped with flattery by so many people, he would probably become a little ignorant. Since ancient times, isn’t the reason why so many so-called geniuses have been destroyed by praise like this
Of course, Kong Ming is not an ordinary person. He can cope with such a situation with ease. Moreover, in line with the idea of keeping a low profile, Kong Ming did not show anything unusual during the dinner. On the contrary, he deliberately revealed a few... The proud look unique to a young man.
No one would have thought that Kong Ming would show such an expression cunningly and deliberately. After all, if anyone had achieved such an achievement as Kong Ming when he was only fourteen years old, no matter how young and mature he was, how could he not feel proud at all? ? If Kong Ming really looked completely motionless, it would actually make others feel scared!
When the birthday party was at its most lively, Kong Ming stood up and left the table, and went to toast one by one. After toasting the seats in the main hall, he came outside the main hall and began to toast the guests table by table, in order to fulfill his duties as a landlord. friendship.
When Kong Ming came to a certain table, a young man who looked to be in his twenties, a little fat, but dressed like a scholar suddenly grabbed Kong Ming and said with a loud tongue: "Everyone... everyone... You know, the second... second young master of the Kong family is a genius. He is the youngest Yuan general in history... a strong man! Today, while the big... Everyone is happy, I wonder if... the second young master Kong... can you give me some help? Big...everyone, please show your hands and let big...everyone open your eyes..."
As soon as the young fat man said these words while drinking, the entire table fell silent, as if time had suddenly frozen.
Almost everyone stared at this fat young man who suddenly went drunk and crazy with a strange look!
