Ten miles outside the gate of Jincheng, inside the welcoming pavilion.
King Ning was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, with several counselors behind him and guards surrounding the pavilion. The entire official road was closed today. If other people wanted to go in and out, they could only go through several other cities.
Door.
"Isn't it here yet?" Prince Ning asked.
A counselor behind him replied: "The news that just came is already five miles away, and it's almost time for a cup of tea."
King Ning looked gloomily in the direction of the official road and said, "When was this guest pavilion built?"
The counselor immediately replied: "Twenty-one years ago, when King Ning first arrived in the fiefdom, the magistrate of Jincheng led the soldiers and people to build a specially built one to welcome the prince."
King Ning smiled and said: "It's been twenty-one years. I have been here for twenty-one years. I haven't gone back for twenty-one years. When I was still an infant, I only cried for the crown prince who was sucking milk."
, and now I have deliberately asked this king to come out to greet you."
Everyone could hear the resentment and injustice in King Ning's words, but no one dared to answer.
King Ning sighed.
If Zhou Changshou were here at this time, he would definitely be able to understand what he was thinking and say something to comfort him.
pity···
When he thought of Zhou Changshou, Prince Ning felt his liver hurt.
Angry.
He never expected that his most trusted adviser would actually have a bone in his spine!
Sadly, he spent countless manpower and material resources and almost turned the entire fiefdom upside down, but he was unable to catch two ordinary people who had no strength to restrain a chicken.
This made Prince Ning feel his face was burning in addition to his liver pain.
While thinking about it, a motorcade came to the end of the official road.
The prince's carriage and horses have arrived.
Until the motorcade came closer, Prince Ning was sitting in the pavilion with no intention of getting up.
The carriage stopped and Li Chen came out.
Standing on the carriage, Li Chen immediately saw Prince Ning sitting in the pavilion.
At this moment, Prince Ning seemed to have just seen Li Chen. He put down his tea cup, stood up, held his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived. I am not waiting for you from afar, so please forgive me for my sins."
Logically speaking, all officials and soldiers present at this time should kneel down to greet him.
but none.
Everyone stood straight on the spot, looking straight at Li Chen without saying a word.
The scene was completely silent and the atmosphere was depressing.
But Li Chen didn't seem to feel it at all. He chuckled, jumped off the carriage, strode into the pavilion, stretched out his hands and gave Prince Ning a big bear hug, and said, "Uncle Wang, I haven't seen you for many years.
Well, when I was still a baby, Uncle Wang had already come to this Jincheng, so our uncle and nephew have never been close to each other. Now that I am here, I want to be close to Uncle Wang."
Prince Ning looked at Li Chen with a bright smile in front of him and suddenly smiled too.
He nodded and said: "What your Highness said is very true. You and I, uncle and nephew, are blood-blooded, so we should stay close to each other."
As he said that, Prince Ning glanced behind him and said, "Are you all blind? Can't you see His Highness the Crown Prince? Or maybe I haven't taught you etiquette and you don't know how to salute?"
After King Ning said these words, the others saluted Li Chen.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Li Chen waited until they finished shouting, then laughed and said: "Uncle Wang is too polite, it's just some red tape, I don't pay attention to that."
Saying this, Li Chen patted his forehead, as if he had just remembered, and said, "By the way, Uncle Wang hasn't saluted me yet, has he?"
