As one of the Three Emperors, the [Chen Royal Family] has to say that the scale of its mansion and the grandeur of its structure are as jaw-dropping as those of ancient imperial palaces.
Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to the pavilion; the waist of the corridor is unobstructed, and the eaves and teeth are high; everyone is holding on to the terrain and fighting each other.
Panpan Yan, Huan Yan Yan, honeycomb water eddy, I don't know how many tens of millions of them have fallen.
After all, the [Chen Royal Family] is one of the few remaining super families with more than a thousand years of cultural heritage.
Chen Qi walked along with the leader and could feel many faces with different expressions.
There is curiosity, doubt, surprise, disdain, and pointing fingers.
It's no wonder that the [Chen Royal Family] pursues a hereditary system. Generally, the successor to the throne should be selected among several princes of the family.
But now, due to various reasons, the throne must be passed on to the collateral heirs?
How can people of this tribe be convinced by this for people of this tribe who have always looked down upon the collateral sect?
[Chen Royal Family] Some people with low status are still like this.
It is foreseeable that those in high positions probably feel the same way, or even more so.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Qi and Suzaku were led to a high-rise attic.
It was already dusk, and the attic was already brightly lit. Before entering, you could hear people cheering and drinking.
"Young Master Chen Qi, please come in."
The leader took Chen Qi to the door and stopped moving forward.
Presumably, given his status, he is not qualified to enter such a high-end place.
Chen Qi said politely, "Thank you."
After saying that, Chen Qi straightened his clothes and walked in.
This is a banquet hall the size of several basketball courts, with feasting and feasting, tables full of delicious food, stars, and singing and dancing.
In the past, Chen Qi had only seen banquets of this scale when he was invited to the homes of some Western royal families.
But at that time, all members of the royal family traveled ten miles to greet him in person.
But now, Chen Qi took the initiative to go there on his own.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Shipeng, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over quickly with a smile.
"Chen Qi, you're here."
Chen Qi bowed slightly and said, "Thirteenth Grand Tutor."
Chen Shipeng nodded, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, follow me."
Under the leadership of Chen Shipeng, Chen Qi walked through the crowd and walked straight towards the center of the hall.
Today, Chen Shipeng has taken off his old gray robe and put on a suit, which is very formal.
As we walked along, we could see many other senior officials of the Chen family nodding their heads.
It can be seen from this that Chen Shipeng's position as Taifu should be regarded as a high position in the Chen family.
Let me explain here that today's Chinese royal family follows the ancient royal family and has positions such as Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, and bodyguards.
Similar to Western titles, status goes from top to bottom.
Among them, the Taishi is the right-hand man of the family head and has the highest say except for family residence. The Taifu is responsible for some major matters, the Taibao is responsible for some trivial matters, and the guard is responsible for safety issues.
Halfway through the journey, Chen Shipeng said, "Chen Qi, I will take you to meet the three princes. It may be a little unpleasant later, so don't take it personally."
Chen Qi took a deep look at Chen Shipeng and nodded, "I don't have to."
After a while, under the leadership of Chen Shipeng, Chen Qi came to the center of the hall.
It can be seen that many men and women dressed in luxurious clothes and covered with jewels are chatting happily around.
The most eye-catching ones are three tall and handsome young men, surrounded by the crowd like stars holding the moon, speaking elegantly and showing royal style.
Chen Shipeng led Chen Qi forward, bowed and saluted, "First Prince, Third Prince, Sixth Prince."
These three people seem to be the three current princes of the [Chen Royal Family].
The eldest prince Chen Pei'en, the third prince Chen Zhiman, and the sixth prince Chen Wenbin.
Facing Chen Shipeng's greetings, the three of them looked over, and at first sight they saw Chen Qi standing behind Chen Shipeng.
"Thirteenth Grand Tutor, is this the candidate for the throne you found?"
Chen Shipeng responded respectfully, "Yes, his name is Chen Qi, a member of the Chen family of [Dongyuan], and he is an outstanding candidate for the throne selected by me."
"excellent?"
The eldest prince Chen Pei'en sneered and shook his head, "As we all know, the Chen family's descendants are all inferior people who were expelled by me [Chen family royal family], how can they be said to be outstanding?"
"According to what I know, the [Dongyuan] Chen family seems to have been ordered to be expelled from the [Chen Royal Family] for three hundred years because their ancestors enriched their own pockets and violated the clan rules. How can a descendant of a rooster and a dog robber be outstanding?
go?"
Chen Shipeng: "..."
The third prince Chen Zhiman looked Chen Qi up and down and said with a click of his tongue, "You look like a human but like a dog. Thirteenth Prince, everyone says you have the best eye for people, but you don't mean your eye for people's looks, right?"
?”
As soon as he said this, everyone else laughed.
Chen Shipeng seemed to have grown accustomed to the strangeness, and said with a cupped hand, "No, in my opinion, Chen Qi's abilities in all aspects are very outstanding, and he should be a strong contender for the throne."
The Fifth Prince Chen Wenbin shrugged, "We have heard what you said more than ten times. To be precise, is it the thirteenth time?"
The implication is that before Chen Shipeng, the other twelve Taifus all said the same thing?
Chen Shipeng smiled bitterly for a moment and bowed again, "Three princes, if nothing happens, we will leave first."
After that, in order to avoid causing trouble, Chen Shipeng quickly asked Chen Qi to leave.
But at this moment, a sudden voice sounded, "Wait!"
He was really afraid of what might happen. Chen Shipeng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The eldest prince Chen Pei'en took two steps forward and stared at Chen Qi, "Your name is Chen Qi?"
Chen Qi smiled and responded, "Any advice?"
Chen Pei'en looked frivolous, "Why didn't you bow when you saw the three of us?"
Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Chen Pei'en had no reaction when he saw the twelve candidates for the throne in front of him, but he only stopped Chen Qi.
It turned out to be Chen Qi, who had just met the three princes and did not give the first greeting.
But Chen Qi suddenly asked, "Why do I need to salute?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone around him were stunned.
Why?
Do you even need to ask?
Chen Qin is a descendant of the [Chen Royal Family]. When he meets the prince of his clan, shouldn't he salute and greet him?
Even though Chen Qi is a candidate for the throne, to put it bluntly, he is nothing now.
In the [Chen Royal Family], which has a strict system and clear status, it is reasonable for the lower class to respect the upper class.
Chen Pei'en was obviously shocked by Chen Qi's answer. He was stunned for a long time and then burst into laughter.
"Ask me why?
If you can ask this question, it only proves your ignorance and ignorance!"
"Before coming here, didn't your family teach you that slaves should be respectful and grovel when meeting their master?"
"Do you want me to teach you?"
Chen Qi was calm and calm, and said, "Then the eldest prince, please show me personally how I should be respectful and humble?"
