A few people sat together and chatted, and when they couldn't avoid asking about Muchuan's injury, Muchuan just waved his hand and said it was a trivial matter.
Some people were aggrieved on Muchuan's behalf, saying that it was abominable to let the horse do the harm, and that the owner of the horse should be imprisoned.
Muchuan quickly explained that the horse owner was also deceived and bought a problematic horse by mistake, so these people let these people drop the topic.
He is not Li Dai's identity, but according to his inference, he is definitely not weak.
Therefore, he does not intend to cause trouble with his words, whether it is caused by others or he has no choice.
After a while, the ceremony for the conferment of the county king began. Whether it was people in the VIP room, people in the ordinary reception room, or the super VIP group, that is, people from the royal family, they all followed to the banquet hall.
Taking their seats in order, Du Ruhui and his godson were diagonally opposite Muchuan and Fang Cheng.
Muchuan then realized that his seat seemed to be a little forward, but it was not very obvious.
The ceremony began with a wave of singing, and then the prince was awarded the title.
The prince, dressed in the special royal attire, walked from one side of the stage and knelt down with his back to the guests to receive the title.
Muchuan looked at the back of the prince and could not help but whisper to Fang Cheng.
"She's quite young, probably about the same age as you and me."
Originally, all the princes who were granted the title were almost the same age as Muchuan, but after all, this Nanyi prince had been silent for a long time. It is difficult for people not to doubt whether he is too old.
"I heard that he is not very young, but he is very talented and is very popular with His Majesty."
Fang Cheng also responded in a low voice.
Muchuan looked at him doubtfully.
When Muchuan returned to Chang'an, Fang Chengcheng had already been imprisoned, and when Muchuan returned to Chang'an, the prince had only been mentioned for a few days.
Where did Fang Cheng hear about it?
Could it be that Chenjiazhuang was chatting with him when he saw that his people were fine?
Tell the imprisoned people about state affairs and royal secrets?
"I just heard what they said."
Fang Cheng seemed to see Muchuan's doubts and explained in a low voice.
As he spoke, he pointed at the two little maids behind him.
The two of them were looking at the back of the prince with shy expressions.
Seeing the nymphomaniac look of the two maids, Muchuan immediately believed Fang Cheng's words.
I just don’t know which branch this Nanyi County King belongs to. It is said that after the Xuanwu Incident, it is impossible for Li Shimin to have such a big nephew again.
Or the younger brother?
What kind of brother has been bleating silently since he was a child?
Muchuan felt that he needed to figure this out so that he would not accidentally step into a trap when interacting with the Prince of Nanyi County in the future.
With Muchuan thinking like this, the ceremony for the conferment of Nanyi County Prince was over.
Prince Nanyi stood up and faced everyone in front of the banquet.
So, a group of people knelt down, and only some royal family members who were taller than the Nanyi County King were still sitting upright.
"Congratulations to the Prince of Nanyi County!"
The sound of congratulations resounded throughout the banquet hall.
"rise!"
The attendant next to Prince Nanyi shouted loudly.
The group of people thanked him loudly and stood up to return to the table.
Muchuan kept his head down the whole time. After sitting on his seat, he raised his head and glanced at the Prince of Nanyi in front of him.
Suddenly, Muchuan froze on the spot.
Li Dai?
Why is Li Dai here?
No, Li Dai is actually the Prince of Nanyi County whom His Majesty personally conferred?
He had known that Li Dai's identity was not simple, but he never thought that Li Dai would be a member of the royal family?
No wonder he fell ill, the emperor was extra tolerant.
No wonder his seat was so far forward in the entire banquet.
It turns out that Li Dai had told His Majesty this a long time ago.
But why was Li Dai assassinated in the first place?
What is his relationship with His Majesty?
Now that he is on the bright side, how much more danger will there be?
Li Dai seemed to be aware of it and looked down, meeting Muchuan's eyes.
Li Dai smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass and gave a toast from a distance.
Muchuan also smiled, picked up the wine glass, gestured, and drank it all.
The small actions of the two people did not attract much attention. There were many people at the banquet, and even if you wanted to find someone who echoed Li Dai, it was difficult to find someone.
As the host of the banquet, Li Dai said:
"Thank you all for coming to support me today. I have been deeply favored by the Emperor. I will definitely be grateful to His Majesty for serving the Tang Dynasty and sharing the Emperor's worries! All my lords, you can all testify today!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in one breath.
"good!"
"The prince is righteous!"
"I will definitely testify!"
There were loud cheers at the banquet, and everyone drank the wine in their glasses.
The atmosphere at the banquet was very warm. Everyone, regardless of their position, left the banquet and toasted in small groups.
Of course, those with higher positions all went to Nanyi County Prince and congratulated him one after another.
Those with lower positions are not qualified to directly toast to the Prince of Nanyi County unless they are taken over by those with higher positions.
It was not until Prince Nanyi became obviously drunk that the number of people around him gradually became less and less drunk.
In the name of being drunk, Prince Nanyi left the banquet and went to the backyard.
Muchuan never toasted to him, but when he saw him leaving, he put down his chopsticks.
Sure enough, after a while a boy came over and whispered in his ear:
"Master Mu, my prince has invited you."
Muchuan nodded and stood up.
Fang Cheng quickly held him down.
"What's wrong?
What did the man say?"
Fang Cheng looked at Muchuan and asked anxiously.
Could it be that Du Ruhui's godson is about to take action?
Although he is a well-known wealthy man, he has never attended any banquets.
But this was his first time meeting such high-level participants.
Moreover, Du Ruhui's godson was diagonally opposite him. From the moment he entered the banquet till now, he has been looking over at him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Fang Chengcheng could still pretend to be very calm, but the other party's eyes became bolder and bolder, and he didn't even try to cover up. Fang Chengcheng couldn't sit still.
What the hell, is he trying to pretend that he doesn't know me before he was imprisoned, or does he want to pretend he doesn't want to know me and doesn't pursue her after being victimized?
So when his only support for the whole party was about to leave the table for a while, he panicked.
"An old friend is looking for me and I have to go over there."
Muchuan patted the back of his hand and comforted him.
"Me too!"
"I'll just wait outside!"
Fang Cheng was afraid that Muchuan would not agree, so he quickly promised.
Muchuan thought for a moment, glanced across the table, and agreed.
"Then hurry up and walk!"
With that said, Fang Cheng couldn't wait to get up and strode back as if someone was chasing him.
It wasn't until he estimated that his back would no longer be seen at the banquet that he breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that if he left a little later, he would be pierced through the eyes of Du Ruhui's godson.
Seeing his hurried look, Muchuan suddenly thought of Xin'er.
The two brothers and sisters are really alike in some aspects.
The boy led Muchuan and Fang Cheng to a corridor in the backyard. The boy stopped, looked at Muchuan, and then at Fang Cheng.
