Especially Boss Cao, who was born in water transportation.
He did think before that relying on his gang status, the prince might not do anything to him even if he didn't betray the prince's face.
After all, tens of thousands of brothers in the Cao Gang under his command relied on him for a living. The prince looked down on him, and he always had to weigh the tens of thousands of people who relied on him to support his family.
But as soon as he entered the East Palace, Boss Cao realized how ridiculous his so-called confidence was.
It was an indescribable feeling of fear.
It seems that no matter how playful and smiling they are, lawless people will involuntarily become serious when they come here.
No one dares to joke here, because no one will joke with you here.
That is called indecency in front of the palace, and the most serious one can be exiled for three thousand miles.
Just when Boss Cao and his party were so depressed that they could hardly breathe, the sound of Nangong Shouzhong talking to someone came to their ears.
"Nangong Shouzhong, a grass-roots citizen, has met Mr. Xu."
Nangong Shouzhong's face was full of humility, he bent down and cupped his hands, cupped his fists on his chin, and kept wagging like a stray dog's tail.
Xu Changqing stood at the door of Taishan Pavilion, looking at Nangong Shouzhong and the group of people behind him with a smile.
The others were shocked and hurriedly followed Nangong Shouzhong and shouted: "The grassroots, wait, I have seen Mr. Xu."
Raising his hand and waving, Xu Changqing said: "Everyone, you're welcome. The Crown Princess has invited you today. I'm just here to accompany you. You'd better come in quickly and don't keep the Crown Princess waiting for a long time."
Nangong Shouzhong's face trembled.
He realized that this banquet was beyond his control from the beginning.
The most outrageous thing is that the host of this banquet is not the prince, but the princess!?
"Why, Boss Nangong has questions?"
Xu Changqing's gentle voice made Nangong Shouzhong's frown instantly smooth. He smiled and said: "The common people are just happy. Being able to see the empress is truly a blessing for the common people."
Xu Changqing said with a smile: "It's good that Boss Nangong really thinks so. Come in quickly, the banquet will start soon."
Nangong Shouzhong didn't have time to think about it. After bowing to Xu Changqing, he entered Taishan Pavilion with other wealthy businessmen.
In the Taishan Pavilion, the hall was as bright as day, filled with precious sandalwood, and beautiful palace maids shuttled around, serving food and pouring wine for every wealthy businessman who came to attend the banquet.
Although these wealthy businessmen all have a group of beautiful singers in their homes, how can those women compare with the court ladies who have been trained and specially trained for a long time.
No matter how humble the palace maids are, when they go out, they will definitely be snatched up by countless people, including some who are officials.
A group of wealthy businessmen from all over the country looked straight at it. They felt that compared with the palace maids in front of them, the dancers and singers in their mansion who were usually pleasing to the eye were all crooked.
At this moment, a loud singing awakened everyone.
"The Crown Princess has arrived!"
This voice was very familiar to Nangong Shouzhong. It was the eunuch who left a deep impression on him.
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads. They heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from the side hall, but no one dared to raise their head to peek. They just shouted in unison: "Common people, please see the Crown Princess."
"No gift."
An extremely pleasant voice came, but no one, no matter how lustful they were, dared to have the slightest evil thoughts about this voice.
When the gap in status reaches a certain level, it is enough to eliminate all desires and evil thoughts.
The status gap between Su Jinpa and them was enough to have this effect.
