"It turns out to be His Highness...!" The young man in the attire was about to blurt out the Three-Character Sutra, but he held back all of it.
Of course, there was no look of fear or worry on his face.
Although the visitor is His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor.
But the identity of the young man in colorful clothes is not simple either. He is King You Luo Cheng, one of the eight kings with different surnames in the Xia Kingdom.
The first eight kings with different surnames were all sworn brothers of the founding emperor of the Xia Kingdom.
It has been passed down to this day, and naturally the eight kings of the opposite sex have long since retired from the country.
"Prince You is very elegant. I am also reading this book. It is indeed a masterpiece. It may seem vulgar at first glance, but in fact it is unique." His Highness said.
The young man in fine clothes suppressed the anger in his heart and showed a fake smile on his face: "If that's the case, why did you tell me about the funeral in advance and ruin my interest?"
His Highness said: "I want to go to the Maritime Province to meet Xiahou Zun, who wrote this book. Since you are a friend, would you like to go with me?"
After Prince You Luo Cheng thought for a moment, he immediately nodded and said: "Okay!"
"But... you and I can't go together. I'll leave after a few days!"
The eight kings with different surnames were able to retire with the country by never having too much contact with the prince and only being loyal to the current emperor.
At the level of the eight kings with different surnames, their splendor and wealth have reached their peak, and they have experienced generations of stability, connections, and power accumulation. As long as they don't fall out with the emperor, no matter which prince eventually takes the throne, they will rely on them.
It is the occasional neglect that reduces authority.
When the emperor changes, things will be different.
His Highness seemed to have anticipated this and did not bother with it.
Instead, he said: "This matter... I still need you to cover up for me. After all, I am a prince. If I go to Binhai Province privately to meet the heir of a feudal minister, it is inevitable that I will be suspected of being a plum blossom in the melon field. What's more... Binhai Province
It’s still Lao San’s fiefdom, and I went to his fiefdom without his permission. I’m afraid he might think I was provoking.”
Luo Cheng wanted to refuse.
After thinking about it for a while, I agreed.
Left or right is not a big deal.
Just inform the current emperor in advance and leave a file with the emperor, that's all.
Although kings with different surnames in the past dynasties did not interact too closely with the prince, they almost never participated in the prince's struggle for the throne.
However, this does not mean that they really have to go around the princes.
Some relatively normal and reasonable interactions are still acceptable.
At this time, Xiahou Mansion was already busy with traffic.
The wealthy businessmen, nobles, and literati who came from all directions wanted to visit the fifth young master of the Xiahou family, the madman who wrote such shocking works.
Although some of them are true fans.
But there are also some who want to take advantage of the opportunity to establish relations with Xiahou Mansion.
There are also many traditional literati who want to take advantage of Lin Xi’s name.
After all, on the surface, the book written by Lin Xi is still the target of verbal and written criticism by many old scholars.
Naturally, Lin Xi, the author, does not have a good reputation.
However, they are destined to never see Lin Xi again.
Develop a reputation and cultivate a degree of mystery... This is the basic rule for the advancement of magic skills.
Of course, Lin Xi doesn't want the ability to control the sea.
What he wants is to peer into the world, grasp the hand of fate, penetrate the pen of cause and effect, and reveal the true will.
These are magical skills that are more virtual and difficult to present concretely.
However, these are only a basis.
It is to form an omniscient and omnipotent shadow in the future.
The ability of a saint cannot be summarized by mortal thoughts.
Even the shadow of a saint is the same.
So if there is any useful description, it is infinitely close to the shadow of a saint.
Then it must be ‘omniscience and omnipotence’.
Of course, it is difficult to create such a character.
And there are many obstacles.
Therefore, Lin Xi needs to establish a foundation within the boundaries first, and then gradually move in this direction.
If you jump to the boss at the beginning, it will be easy to get caught.
First of all...the emperor of Xia Kingdom and the dignitaries of Xia Kingdom cannot tolerate him.
In Xiahou's mansion, this was the sixth time that Xiahouyu took the initiative to visit and walked into Lin Xi's study.
Although the otaku style should be maintained.
But if the purpose is to meet the author of that book, and personally ask him some questions in the book, and answer some doubts in the book... then the principles are not important.
"Fifth brother! You once described in your book that when Wang Ergou was sailing away from Hong Kong, Zhao Zhu, who had always had a grudge against him, used to hide in the corner and peek and sneer. Is this a hint that Cuilian...
··Even what happened to Wang Ergou after his return was actually related to Zhao Zhu? Is the mysterious Qi Ye the Zhao Zhu under the pseudonym? And... Xu Guangzhi and Wu Mei, they are really pure friends.
In fact, from many passages in the book, it can be seen that Wu Mei had feelings for Xu Guangzhi, but because Xu Guangzhi was her husband's brother, she could not reveal it and fell into pain... Was there such a part in Wu Mei's subsequent suicide?
Reason?" Xia Houyu asked a series of questions again.
Lin Xi's forehead was filled with depression.
What is he asking?
What is he talking about?
He was asking about the book I wrote?
When have I ever buried such a metaphor?
Lin Xi was quite embarrassed at this time.
Just deny it!
This seems to make my book become monotonous, old-fashioned, and meaningless all of a sudden.
But admit it!
He seemed a bit embarrassed.
After all, what Xia Houyu said... In fact, he had never thought about it. This was entirely Xia Houyu's own interpretation, adding his own ideas and extending it.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xi chose to tell the truth frankly.
Then he concluded: "In fact, Cuilian's tragedy originated from Wang Ergou on the surface, but in fact it has been engraved in her bones since she was born. She is an impure Xiaren. She was not accepted, and was
Her father expected that beauty became the only real but fragile label on her body."
Listening to Lin Xi's explanation, Xia Houyu's face became increasingly ugly.
Later, Lin Xi said: "Cuilian's death was actually a result of her own fault. She chose to shoulder a responsibility that she could not bear, and she would inevitably fall into a dilemma and tragedy that she could not get out of. This dilemma was given by the times, and she
It is just an extremely small microcosm of the times. It is unable to resist and can only end in tragedy."
Xia Houyu couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "Shut up! Fifth brother...Xiahou Zun! You are just a book writer, you don't understand Cuilian at all."
"She is kind, gentle, innocent, romantic, and has the courage to take responsibility... She is the most gorgeous flower in a dirty era. I will not allow you to slander her like this!"
After saying that, he walked away.
This is not the first time.
However, maybe not long after, he will run back and continue to ask some questions that Lin Xi himself is confused about.
