The first Prince sat in the main seat.
Beside him stood a young girl with a veil over her face. She seemed to be very respectful and submissive, pouring wine for the first Prince from time to time.
The delicacies on the table were all made by the chefs the first Prince had brought from the capital.
At the banquet, The Sound of Music lingered in the ears. Wine toasts were exchanged at the banquet, words were joyous, and it was a harmonious scene. Jiang huailu didn’t raise her head the whole time, her eyes were shining at the banquet.
“Now I know why everyone wants to go back to the capital.” Jiang huailu picked up some venison with his chopsticks.
After taking a bite, he was filled with intoxication.
“Even if it’s not for the evil, I have to return to the capital for this meal.” Lulu muttered softly.
Jiang Huai ‘an didn’t hear what she said, but he felt sad to see his sister like this.
The Jiang family had never been short of food and clothes, but Lulu didn’t enjoy any of that when he was awake.
The advisor sitting at the first Prince’s side seemed to have drunk a lot. When the guests were happy, the first Prince spoke.
Jiang huailu didn’t have time to listen. She was only four or five years old and had been working too hard on national affairs. Brother Lu said she wouldn’t grow tall.
The little girl ate meat and only occasionally heard a few words,”loyalty,””return to the capital, ” and “tap tap tap.”
The atmosphere at the banquet was rather heavy, as if the first Prince needed an answer from everyone.
The situation was in a stalemate.
No one expressed their stance, and no one was willing to be the first.
No one could say for sure whether the Crown Prince would wake up or not. If he didn’t wake up, everyone’s loyalty to the first Prince would be nothing. In fact, if he were to ascend to that position in the future, he would definitely be credited for it.
But what if he woke up?
That would be a bloodbath in huangdu, and all the peace would be overturned.
The first Prince coughed lightly, his heart sinking. He clenched his fist, he hated how he almost captured Lu huaijiang’s soul. He wanted him to never wake up.
“Sir Fang, now Dongli has repeatedly invaded the border of the great Zhou. Ever since master Fang’s family left the capital, there has been no military general in the court who can take charge of one side alone. Dong Li is so arrogant now.”
“His Majesty has been worried about this for a long time. If Sir Fang is willing to return to the capital, it will be a great help to the great Zhou.”
“Dongli has always been brave and good at fighting, and the people at the border have been hurt many times. It had always been the Fang family guarding the border, ensuring that it was safe. Now, those commoners are in deep waters and burning fires. Even now, they often worship the Fang family’s portrait, begging the Fang family to protect them.”
“If master Fang is willing, I am willing to use my head as a guarantee to help master Fang return to the capital. Even if master Fang doesn’t give face to His Majesty, he still has to consider for the sake of the innocent people.” The first Prince put on the air of serving the country and its people. He immediately stood up and gave a deep bow to the Fang family.
Master Fang’s hands trembled, and tears streamed down his face. He hurriedly helped the first Prince up.
His Fang family had guarded the border for many years, and the people and the Fang family Army were as close as family. Now that he heard that the border had been harmed, how could Sir Fang feel good?
But he also understood that he had been summoned back to the capital while the Crown Prince was unconscious.
In the future, when His Highness awakens and gets angry, even his Majesty will not be able to control him.
When His Highness was around, His Majesty could not do anything to him.
Seeing the Fang family’s intentions, the first Prince did not press too hard. As long as one of them returned to the capital, everyone would see the good and follow him with peace of mind.
He raised his glass and looked at the Jiang family.
With a glance, he saw the little girl sitting next to the Jiang family’s legitimate son.
His back was clearly straight and he had a good attitude on the surface.
It could be seen that the Jiang family had not neglected her teaching, which also meant that the Jiang family was ready to return to the capital at any time.
However, there was one thing different about that girl. She was well-mannered and well-educated. However, the chopsticks in her hands moved very quickly, and she would stuff the food into her mouth from time to time. Her face was like a little hamster, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Her rules were all used on food..
