At midnight, many princes and princes from the capital came.
Qiu Liang and others had no intention of drinking tea. They went out to their tents to say hello and make friends with acquaintances.
Such a grand event is the best social occasion.
Jia Lian also knew many people, but most of them were not close friends.
Suddenly, he saw Feng Ziying and another man coming on horseback, and Jia Lian greeted them with a smile.
"Second brother Lian!"
Feng Ziying immediately jumped off the horse and bowed her hands.
Jia Lian and Feng Ziying also had a friendship that shared adversity. When they defeated Crown Prince Duan in Prince Xiao's palace, Feng Ziying, as a companion, did not fear the power of the palace, but chose to advance and retreat with him. This made Jia Lian think highly of him, so he sincerely fought with him.
Make friends.
For Feng Ziying, it was also beneficial for him to have a good relationship with Jia Lian, who had an extraordinary family background, knowledge, and circumstances. Therefore, although the two had known each other for a short time, they seemed closer than many of his friends.
"By the way, let me introduce you to Brother Lian. This is Chen Yejun, the son of General Zhenwu's Mansion. He is the second in line in the family."
"Haha, I have met Mr. Chen..."
"Don't dare, don't dare. My younger brother has admired Brother Jia's reputation for a long time. It is truly a blessing to meet him today."
Chen Yejun is also a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, but he looks a little less heroic than Feng Ziying.
However, judging from his words and actions, he is a very impeccable person.
"There is no prestige at all, it's just relying on Zude."
While the three of them were being polite, an official from the Prince's Palace came over and invited Feng and Chen to go into the garden to rest their horses.
Feng Ziying politely thanked her and said she would just hang around outside, but in fact she stayed to talk to Jia Lian.
Another half an hour passed, and suddenly I saw a large group of people approaching on the road in the distance.
The imperial guards on both sides cleared the way, and the people in front were all wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and their manners were extraordinary.
In the rear, Zhu Hua Bao Canopy, cloud banners are spreading, and a large number of palace people are walking slowly.
Qiu Liang, Jia Lian and others confirmed the arrival of the prince, and all the officers and soldiers from the military and horse departments on both sides knelt down to welcome him: "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince, and to welcome His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang..."
"Get flat."
The prince was dressed in yellow robes and surrounded by numerous guards. He looked distinguished at first glance.
After he called the people who were saluting at will, he didn't care and still directed the team to go directly to the garden.
Jia Lian and others who were retreating next to them looked at the team following the prince.
The third prince, the fourth prince, King Beijing, Prince Duan, etc., there were some he knew, and there were many more he didn't know.
Perhaps it was because Jia Lian stood out in the crowd, but the prince suddenly saw Jia Lian, and his eyes suddenly burst out with astonishing hostility, and he perfectly understood the extremely jealous expression of his enemy when they met him.
Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, but smiled at him.
"Hmph~"
Prince Duan snorted coldly and turned his head away proudly.
King Beijing also saw Jia Lian and nodded to Jia Lian on his horse. Jia Lian hurriedly returned the greeting.
"Hey, Jia Lian!"
The fourth prince still jumped away as usual. After seeing Jia Lian, he immediately rode away from the team and came to Jia Lian.
Beside him, Zhang Su followed him like a shadow, and even Zhang Tao came.
"I have met His Highness the Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince jumped off the horse, came over, patted Jia Lian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you for what happened last time."
It seems that the gift given to his royal sister was well received.
"Being able to serve His Royal Highness the Fourth..."
"Stop talking about those docile words, or I'll beat you up! Really, he is clearly a general leading troops, why bother to imitate the sour atmosphere of those scholars."
The fourth prince said carelessly, and Zhang Su behind him suddenly darkened his face. Fortunately, he knew that his boss was just talking openly and had no intention of belittling him.
Jia Lian smiled, and as expected he was not polite to this guy. He turned around and said, "I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang is also here. I don't know..."
"Oh, you are talking about my imperial sister, she is in the carriage."
The fourth prince pointed out the location of his imperial sister to Jia Lian without any inhibitions.
Jia Lian glanced at the eight-treasure canopy-covered incense car headed by it, and paid attention to the palace ladies beside it.
Because the palace maids, although they all seemed to have good figures, all wore thin veils on their faces to cover their faces.
This is what Jia Lian wants to ask.
"Do the people around Your Highness the Princess always cover their faces when they go out?"
Not only Jia Lian, but also Feng Ziying and others were very curious.
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince also looked puzzled after hearing this.
"No, my imperial sister usually rides a horse when she goes out. Her riding skills are better than mine! Who knows what she did today? Not only did she choose to ride in a carriage, but she also asked the maid to cover her face. It's really strange.
I asked her just now across the carriage, but she ignored me."
The fourth prince said, seeing that the prince and others had already entered the garden, he did not stay, and hurriedly bid farewell to Jia Lian with fists in his arms, then turned over and rode after him.
After the fourth prince and others left, Jia Lian and Chen Yejun looked at Feng Ziying with smiles.
Feng Ziying is about the same age as Princess Zhaoyang, she is unmarried, and she is relatively handsome. She came today with the intention of trying her luck.
Don't say that if a good man doesn't marry a princess, his future will be affected.
That's a stupid idea.
Anyone who marries Princess Zhaoyang will have the opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
From then on, the emperor was his father-in-law and the queen mother was his patron...
Power, status, fame and fortune are all there.
Isn’t this what many ambitious young people want to do all their lives? You can struggle and climb on your own, but that doesn’t prevent others from marrying a princess and standing directly on the top of the mountain.
What's more, not only are concubines not prohibited from taking concubines in this dynasty, but they can also be granted additional titles!
This is the reason why so many young elites flocked to Princess Zhaoyang when they heard that she wanted to choose a son-in-law.
Of course, not all men want to be consorts.
For example, men like Jia Lian, who believed that they were destined to be extraordinary, would definitely rank higher than the three princes in the future and have power over the entire government.
However, he is the only one. Normal men in the world, if they didn't have horns on their heads, would not have such unrealistic dreams when they were young.
Therefore, even though Feng Ziying is talented and beautiful, she can't help but want to try her luck.
After listening to the fourth prince's words, Jia Lian and Chen Yejun both speculated that Princess Zhaoyang was really a 18th-year-old girl who was worried about getting married, so she changed her normal behavior and behaved like a lady?
"Haha, it seems that the news is probably true. I would like to wish Brother Feng that he will win the title of Toad Palace today..."
Chen Yejun said with a smile, and Jia Lian also agreed.
Seeing the two of them like this, Feng Ziying felt resentful that she shouldn't have revealed her true feelings during the chat, and then shook her head: "Don't hurt me, I still have self-knowledge. Even if the news is true, with Her Highness the Princess's vision,
I'm afraid you may not like me.
Don't talk anymore, let's go there too.
Brother Lian is with us?"
Jia Lian shook his head: "I won't go in. I have my responsibility. I will go back to the camp first. I wish Brother Feng a good start and success soon."
Jia Lian cupped his fists, greeted A Qi beside him, and rode back to the camp.
Feng Ziying saw Jia Lian not remembering him at all and leaving in a carefree manner, and suddenly sighed to Chen Yejun: "If the second brother Lian also participates in the competition today, I am afraid that everyone else, including me, will be defeated."
Chen Yejun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Isn't Brother Jia already married?"
"So, this is the great fortune of the Prince of Beijing!"
Chen Yejun was silent, and then advised: "Brother Feng, there is no need to belittle yourself. The so-called gentle lady is a gentleman.
What's more, Princess Zhaoyang is good at martial arts. With Brother Feng's family background, she will definitely shine on the court today and win the beauty back. It will not be difficult..."
Feng Ziying blushed and couldn't say anything else.
In fact, if he had not been lucky enough to see Princess Zhaoyang's heroic appearance before, he would not be here today.
He is the son of a Shenwu general. He has practiced martial arts hard since he was a child and is determined to make great achievements. He is not a dandy who wants to follow people's influence...
