"His Royal Highness is here, but I am sorry for the disappointment. I hope you will forgive me!"
Ye Chen stood up in a hurry to greet him, but both his tone and attitude seemed slow and leisurely. There was no trace of the fear and nervousness that should be expected when facing a royal prince?
"I have met His Highness!"
Others also stood up to pay their respects.
It's just that everyone's attitude is similar to Ye Chen's, and they don't take it seriously at all.
Although the status of the eldest princes is noble, they are also famous figures.
Unless the other party has already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, with their reputation, there is no need to give the other party much face. At most, they can only be polite on the surface.
"You're welcome!"
Naturally, Nangong Lie knew that there were all important people present, so instead of daring to maintain his identity, he quickly walked to Ye Chen and stood a few feet away, bowed deeply to him, and then said with a smile: "I'm here so rashly, I'd like to see you, sir."
Forgive me!"
"Your Highness, do you know who I am?"
Ye Chen pretended to be confused.
"this……"
Nangong Lie glanced at everyone present and hesitated to speak.
The people he saw were all frightened and hurriedly averted their eyes, for fear of being identified by Nangong Lie.
After all, before this, each of them had someone from the eldest prince Nangong Lie.
If Nangong Lie were to accuse him of causing it at this moment, wouldn't it be self-destructive?
Fortunately, after Nangong Lie pondered for a moment, he just smiled and said: "I, the prince, was passing by here and happened to hear someone say that there was a mysterious guest here, so I came here to pay a visit!"
"Then I wonder who your Highness heard this from?"
Ye Chen was unyielding.
Since you want to attract enough attention, you must take the opportunity to put pressure on the other party.
Moreover, you have to maximize your aura.
Otherwise, if you act too easy-going, the other person will subconsciously feel that you are nothing more than that, and will despise you.
"this……"
Now Nangong Lie was even more embarrassed.
The other people present seemed calm on the surface, but everyone's heart was in their throats.
They also didn't expect that Ye Chen would be so concerned about other people getting involved.
If they had known that it would arouse Ye Chen's strong dissatisfaction, they should not have turned a blind eye, closed one eye, and allowed all parties to secretly follow him.
However, just when the atmosphere was depressing to the extreme, Ye Chen suddenly smiled heartily and said, "Just kidding, please don't be nervous, Your Highness!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled.
Didn’t you just want to break the casserole and ask the truth?
Why did you laugh again all of a sudden?
Nangong Lie was also shocked and uncertain, not knowing what to do for a while.
He originally wanted to find an excuse just now, but he couldn't think of a more reasonable excuse.
So much so that for a moment, he wanted to reveal the truth.
Fortunately, Ye Chen actually gave up questioning at the critical moment.
"The so-called visitor is a guest. Since you are here in the main hall, please sit down and don't be restrained!"
Ye Chen smiled and said to Xiao Rong: "Bring a chair to His Highness!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xiao Rong responded and quickly brought a chair.
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness!"
Nangong Lie was overjoyed and hurriedly presented the gift he had brought to him, "This is a little bit of my prince's wishes. I hope you don't find it too shabby!"
"I'm so flattered that Your Highness can come. What gifts do you want to bring?"
Ye Chen pretended to be flattered.
The gift Nangong Lie brought was an exquisite blood coral.
This object is placed in the room and has the effect of refreshing the mind and promoting the progress of cultivation.
If a palm-sized plant were put up for auction, it would definitely be worth a fortune.
"As long as the young master doesn't dislike it, that's fine!"
Nangong Lie smiled and said: "Since I have come here sincerely, wouldn't it be disrespectful if I didn't bring something with me?"
"Since Your Highness has good intentions, I would be disrespectful to reject it!"
While speaking, Ye Chen winked at Xiao Rong without leaving any trace.
Xiao Rong understood and immediately took the blood coral from Nangong Lie.
Nangong Lie couldn't help but take another look at Xiao Rong.
Before that, he thought Xiao Rong was just a mortal woman who didn't know the world.
I never thought that Ye Chen would take him so seriously.
You must know that being able to accept such a heavy gift for Ye Chen is enough to show that the other party's status in Ye Chen's mind is not low.
"Your Highness, please come forward and take a seat. Those present are all like-minded Taoists. I hope Your Highness will not mind!"
Ye Chen once again made a "please" gesture to Nangong Lie.
"No, no!"
Nangong Lie waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It is my prince's lifelong honor to get to know all the sages present!"
After hugging everyone present, Nangong Lie stopped being polite and immediately moved his chair to the table.
He did not immediately express his intention to come, but instead acted like a devout believer, just silently listening to Ye Chen chatting and laughing with everyone.
If given the opportunity, he would occasionally add a vulgar comment to show his presence.
While they were chatting, laughing and feasting in the hall, there was an undercurrent surging outside.
"It turns out that Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang, two mortal women, are actually Nanlang Yechen's confidants?"
"It seems that if you want to get close to Nanlang Yechen, you need to go through them first!"
"Yes, even if the eldest prince enters, he needs their consent first. It seems that these two women cannot be ignored!"
"In this case, immediately find a way to show your kindness to them. No matter what, you must go in and become familiar with them!"
"That's right, even if it's just sitting in the corner of the hall as a decoration, as long as I can hang around in front of Nanlang, I'll be satisfied!"
"It's just that when the eldest prince wanted to go in, he was blocked in every possible way. Will these two women, Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang, let us in?"
"It depends on whether you are sincere or not!"
"What's the meaning?"
"As long as the gift is sincere enough, they will be impressed!"
"That's right. The eldest prince seemed to have repeatedly begged and offered more gifts before he got the two girls' accommodation!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare some big gifts. No matter what, you must satisfy Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang!"
Because of Ye Chen's relationship, Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang, two humble women who originally came from the world of mortals, suddenly became the targets of everyone's efforts to win over and please them.
Even those who usually hold great power and are famous in the imperial capital do not dare to show their identity and posture in front of Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang.
This result really made Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang sigh with emotion.
Once upon a time, let alone these big shots who would take the initiative to show their kindness to them, they probably wouldn't even look at them.
But now, these big shots are rushing to give them big gifts, smiling at them, and obeying them.
It seems that making them angry will have extremely serious consequences.
While they were flattered, the two women also realized more deeply how lucky they were to meet Ye Chen.
"Miss Xiao, Miss Du, this is a little greeting gift, I hope you'll accept it!"
At this time, another person walked up to Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang. With a flattering look on his face, he handed over two exquisite small boxes.
"This is……"
Xiao Rong and Du Yuxiang did not take it immediately, but pretended to be surprised.
"By the way, this is the current Third Prince. He was passing by here and heard that there was a noble person in the hall, so he wanted to go in and pay a visit. I also asked the two girls to be accommodating."
The man pointed to a young man he brought and introduced him.
