Chapter 18 If he treats guests, who dares not to come?
Outside the study, Eunuch Liu did not leave as usual, but said to Jiang Tang with some worry:
"The relationship between the prince and the other princes is not good. What if he doesn't come?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tang turned around with a warm and cute smile: "How could it be? This is a treat for the prince. And...if someone really dares not to come, the prince might be happy."
Eunuch Liu: ...The word "dare" is very wonderful.
Facing the other party's complicated eyes, Jiang Tang just pretended not to see him and walked towards the hall.
And just as Eunuch Liu thought, when they received Xiao Yinhan's invitation, the princes were all dumbfounded.
"He actually posted a banquet. Isn't the sun going to come out to the west?" It was the second prince who spoke with praise.
"Are you going then?" the eleventh prince, the youngest and timidest, asked.
"Of course not," the Sixth Prince snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face: "Who does he think he is? Is this prince going to attend after sending an invitation?"
"Then don't go..." The eleventh prince nodded, seeming to agree with his brother's words.
The three of them separated.
"That evil star would actually think of having a dinner party with guests. Use your brain quickly to think about what gifts I should bring that day?" The second prince was very fast on his feet. He had to go back quickly and gather the guests to think about it together.
The sixth prince grabbed the attendant's hand, his brows almost twisted into a caterpillar: "The fourth prince hates me wearing bright red. What color should I wear that day so that he doesn't notice me?"
Even the eleventh prince, the youngest, also changed his mind: "I won't leave the palace today. I'll go find the teacher and ask, let's go..."
"Nothing to show for it."
After the three of them walked away, the fifth prince, dressed in purple and gold brocade robes, walked out from behind, his eyes full of disdain.
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince on the side had a gentle smile on his handsome face: "Will Fifth Brother go to the banquet then?"
The fifth prince turned to look at the smiling tiger beside him, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Of course I want to go. Is it possible that this prince is still afraid of him?"
The Seventh Prince smiled: "Brother, I'll say goodbye. I'll see you at Prince Rong's Mansion then."
The two of them said goodbye until they left the palace gate and got on the carriage. He suddenly said: "Go back and find this prince's soft gold silk armor. I will wear it then."
Follower Sun Qi was a little confused: "Your Highness is just going to a banquet, why are you wearing soft armor..."
He paused, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "...Do you think that King Rong will avenge his personal vengeance and use grudges to take revenge? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
The two looked at each other, silently confronting each other.
"...I know this, and I will prepare it when I get back."
The carriage moved forward slowly on the wide palace road paved with bluestone slabs.
In the carriage, the fifth prince closed his eyes and meditated, but the palms hidden under his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists:
If that bastard really messes around, he will definitely take advantage of him and never tolerate it!
-
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Eunuch Liu has been looking at the banquet menu announced in the kitchen for almost an hour, with a very hesitant expression on his face.
He really wasn't sure what the prince's "good preparation" meant.
Just when Eunuch Liu was having a headache, a light blue figure walked by not far away, blowing into his muddy head like a wisp of breeze. Before he could react, his mouth had already had its own consciousness:
"Girl Tang, come here for a moment!"
Jiang Tang paused and turned back with some confusion.
Eunuch Liu actually regretted it after speaking out.
What could a little girl like Jiang Tang know about something that he couldn't even grasp?
But even with this thought, he decided to ask, and with the mentality of "I've stopped shouting, although it's unlikely, it's not bad to try", he still expressed his troubles.
"...You are talking about how to arrange it? How can we satisfy the prince?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang understood what Eunuch Liu was worried about, and hinted: "The prince is the biggest in the palace, and we servants should share his worries. The prince is not happy, and it is inappropriate for others to be too happy.
Bar?"
Eunuch Liu glanced at Jiang Tang in surprise, but he didn't expect that the little girl actually understood what he meant: "But those princes are the prince's brothers after all. If you offend them because of the banquet, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the prince's reputation.
"
After much thought, Eunuch Liu still felt that the prince's plan to "take out his brother's anger" was too willful. As a loyal servant, he should have persuaded the prince more.
Then he noticed something was wrong with the little girl's expression.
After Jiang Tang heard what he said, he didn't refute, and just said calmly: "My father-in-law has thought carefully. If you don't want to offend others, you can only offend the prince. You can make up your mind."
Eunuch Liu's expression changed slightly: He didn't want to offend the princes, but he didn't want to offend the prince even more!
Seeing through Eunuch Li's inner hesitation, Jiang Tang made reasonable suggestions:
"If father-in-law is really not sure, why not show the menu to the prince first after choosing the menu? Maybe the prince will have his own plan?"
Eunuch Liu suddenly raised his head: "Yes! We would like to thank Miss Tang for the reminder."
Unknowingly, Eunuch Liu even changed his title.
Jiang Tang just smiled: "You're welcome, father-in-law. You must have thought of this, but you just forgot about it in a hurry."
Eunuch Liu shook his head but said nothing.
When he turned around and left, the system finally couldn't help but became worried: [Host, it's not good for you to support the male protagonist's wanton behavior, right?]
This is a "redemption system", okay? It's not a gang-crime system!
Jiang Tang said calmly: "I think it's good. Let him vent his anger. It's better than enduring it all and settling the accounts later, and beheading everyone when he ascends the throne, right?"
The system froze momentarily.
Even if the host doesn't tell it, it will forget it.
There is indeed a passage in the original work where a certain prince was dragged out and beheaded by the male protagonist in the name of contempt for the emperor just because he yawned when he went to court.
Some other princes also died in a mess, which made the male protagonist's reputation even worse.
If getting angry can save the hero...it's worth it!

Three days later, the banquet at Prince Rong's Mansion was held on time.
Almost an hour or two before the official start of the banquet, carriages were already parked outside Prince Rong's Mansion.
"Hey, Laoba, are you here?"
"Second brother."
"Brother Six, didn't you say you wouldn't come that day? Why today..." Xiao Eleven looked at the faces of the six members of his family, with surprise on his childish cheeks.
He almost really believed that Brother Six was not coming.
The teacher is right, brothers are good at lying.
The sixth prince was not embarrassed at all and even rolled his eyes and raised his chin towards the door: "He's treating him to a treat, do you dare to come?"
Xiao Shiyi trembled when he heard this: "...I don't dare."
The others looked at each other with concern after hearing this.
One of them smiled bitterly and said: "The person who sent the post said that if anyone dares not to come, he will come and visit himself when my fourth brother recovers." I don't want to be dragged out of bed and beaten up in the middle of the night, and then thrown away.
