Zhao Kai smiled indifferently. He was shaking an ivory fan in his hand. In this cold weather, there was no trace of delicate and artificiality, as if the fan and he should have set off each other. He looked at Chen Ao, as if he was thinking of better words. Chen Ao took the lead and asked, "I wonder what Your Highness is here to do? Could it be that he is also here to visit the temple fair?"

Zhao Kai said: "Not this. I have made an appointment with several emperor brothers today. The emperor brother comes here to sit here. We are princes, but we are not as comfortable as Brother Chen. Although we live in Bianjing, we have never been to most places in Bianjing and do not know each other. We finally have a chance to come out, but the Confucius Temple is the most familiar, so we chose the place for the gathering here."

Chen Ao heard this and said, "Since that's the case, then Chen should avoid it so that he won't bother you to talk." As he said that, he was about to stand up and go into the room to invite his wife out for a walk. Zhao Kai hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, why bother to leave? Just sit down again? You know the eldest prince. Lao Ba and King Qi have met, and they are not strangers. What's the point of avoiding? King Qi often mentions you, saying that your painting is good and I have always wanted to ask you for advice."

Chen Ao couldn't walk away, and laughed dryly, "See you, laugh."

It was really rare for Chen Ao to hide here for partying, but then he felt relieved. These people usually have tens of millions of eyes and the officials are taking care of them. Today is just off. The officials have holidays, which means that even the prince’s leave. There are too many things in the palace, and everything they do is under the control of the Zhanshi Mansion and the Main Courtyard. This life is very frustrating, and it is nothing to make an appointment to come out for breath.

There are two types of princes in Bianjing City. One is of high-ranking age, such as King Jin and King Qi, who are of the same generation as Dangjin today, and some are even emperor uncles. These are mostly old men. They play whatever they like. As long as there is no rebellion, the officials dare not take care of them.

But the other is different. The worst thing is that these princes. Your Majesty is alive and often ask for homework. The officials dare not neglect them, for fear of coming to the palace, so they take it very seriously. Don’t look at these officials whispering in front of the princes, but in a blink of an eye, they report the matter to the main ancestral courtyard. The main ancestral courtyard is always the boss, and they will not send anyone to complain. They will just submit memorials. Anyway, others can’t take care of you, so let your father take care of it personally!

Now that the crown prince has not been established, all parties are competing. Although Chen Ao has not been involved, he knows that many princes have formed cliques in this dynasty, so everyone is staring at each other and waiting for others to reveal their flaws. Then a few censors will be invited to impeach, and the consequences can be imagined.

But these princes avoided the private meetings of their subordinates. They all had ulterior motives, but when they met, they would be a strife again.

Chen Ao was unwilling to get involved and was about to say goodbye. There was already a little noise outside. Seven or eight people stepped in arrogantly. The first person to come in was the eldest prince Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng was wearing an ordinary dress and deliberately low-key. His mediocre face contrasted with Zhao Kai, making him look much more obscene. However, his demeanor was even better than Zhao Kai. Behind his deep eyes, there was a kind of indifference that people could avoid and a kind of aloof indifference.

Afterwards, the people who came in were big and small. One of them rushed over quickly and greeted Zhao Kai first. This person was Zhao Zhi, the king of Xin, and Zhao Zhi was Zhao Kai's brother. The relationship with Zhao Kai was naturally different. Then another prince also came to greet him warmly. This person was Zhao Mo, the king of Qi. These two people obviously had the best relationship with Zhao Kai. As for the others, they just nodded to Zhao Kai and said with a dragonfly. The eldest prince Zhao Heng also walked over with a smile, holding Zhao Kai's hand enthusiastically and said, "The third brother has become more energetic recently. I haven't seen him for a month, and his style is even more serious. Haha, come, everyone is brother, come and sit down and talk."

Zhao Kai smiled frankly and said, "The emperor's brother is teasing me by saying this. Did he deliberately say that I was lazy in the palace and only grew a few pounds of thigh meat?"

All the princes laughed, but no one paid attention to Chen Ao, especially the eldest prince Zhao Heng. He had met Shen Ao several times. When he passed by, his eyes did not even fall on him.

Chen Ao and Zhao Heng are also enemies. If this matter is really something to be investigated, it is a confusing account. However, Zhao Heng ignored him, and Chen Ao was unwilling to greet him. He just smiled and saw the princes, and said, "You princes are having fun here, and the officials will retire."

Zhao Kai wanted to keep him, even King Qi Zhao Mo and King Shen Zhao Zhi also grabbed Chen Ao. Zhao Mo said, "Where will Lord Shen go this trip? It is more difficult to see you than to see your father. Why are we here, but Lord Shen leaving? No, no, we will ask you to paint later."

Zhao Zhi also said, "Yes, I can't leave. I don't know when I will run into it."

These three princes stopped them, while the other four or five princes were all sitting one by one, with different expressions, but no one stopped them, and their faces were a little cold, especially Zhao Heng, with a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes, as if he was waiting for Chen Ao to leave and purity.

On this side, he was trying to leave, and on the other side, especially Zhao Mo. Zhao Mo was young and just turned fifteen years old, and he was playing tricks on Chen Ao.

Chen Ao thought to himself: "Has Zhao Mo been instructed by someone? I must have a trespass on this muddy water?"

Chen Ao looked at Zhao Kai deeply and refused; at this time, the eldest prince Zhao Heng suddenly said lazily: "Mr. Shen, don't have to rush to leave. Since he has come, it is not good to go back at this time. People who don't know think we parted in a bad mood. It just so happened that the temple Zhu and Mr. Shen in this temple are old acquaintances, so why not ask him to come and talk to Mr. Shen."

Old acquaintance? Temple blessings?

Chen Ao was confused. Seeing Zhao Heng's smile-like look, he felt a little silly. Damn, I really won't leave anymore, but I want to see what you are playing. Then he sat down loudly, dusted the dust on his body, and laughed: "There are many people who know the officials, but the officials don't know who the officials are talking about. "

This sentence was very suspicious, which made the princes who were sitting against Zhao Heng unable to help frowning. Zhao Heng laughed and ordered the people outside: "Come on, come on, invite the prince to come."

Wang Xianggong...

Chen Ao suddenly remembered one and couldn't help laughing. Speaking of the king he knew, he was really an old acquaintance. Since the last time that guy escaped, he disappeared in the city of Bianjing. Chen Ao thought he was out of his way, and God knew why he had been in trouble with the eldest prince.

After a while, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar came in. It was indeed the King of Kings. The King of Kings saluted the princes separately, with a very sincere attitude. Finally, his eyes fell on Shen Ao, and he glanced at the eldest prince, and then he said slowly: "Mr. Shen, we have been missing for a long time."

Chen Ao looked at him with a smile, but he stood up without leaving his seat, sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Some days have disappeared, why? Wang Xianggong didn't do a promising job, why did he come here to make temple blessings? Temple blessings..." He bit his lip and commented: "The temple blessings in Confucius Temple are not easy to be used. They don't even count the last time, and there is no incense money. Instead of doing this, why would I introduce you to Lingyin Temple, where the incense money is not comparable to that of Confucius Temple."

The eldest prince Zhao Heng sneered, "Mr. Shen has a great face. He actually goes to the monk temple. Oh, I remembered that Mr. Shen is the minister of Dali Temple. You are also in charge of the monk's certificate? No wonder my father valued you so much. Foreign affairs, monks, and martial arts master Shen are all experts. The Song Dynasty's family should have been taken care of by you long ago."

Chen Ao laughed and said, "Your Highness is apologizing, how dare someone Chen take responsibility?"

Prince Wang asked for something boring, looked at Chen Ao with resentment, and then stood in front of Zhao Kai.

These princes have become elites. The Ming Dynasty implicitly sarcastic words and striking words are continuous. After Chen Ao came to an end, he simply stopped talking. After sitting for half an hour, Zhao Heng stood up and left his seat and said, "It's not early, I'm going to say goodbye. I'm not polite to my brothers. If you don't rush to go back, just sit here for a while. I'm going to go into the palace tomorrow. My father wants to ask about your brothers' homework, so I have to say a few more words to my brothers."

Speaking of entering the palace, Zhao Heng had a little expectation and complacent face, but this complacent quickly disappeared, and he said to Zhao Kai honestly: "Third brother, I have recently got a good painting. Originally, I wanted to give it to my father. I thought about it and give it to you. We brothers were immersed in the father and loved paintings, but our third brother was the most promising. Last time, the father praised the third brother and had obtained his seven-point true teachings." He laughed and left.

Except for King Qi and King Shen, the other kings suddenly became strange when they heard the words "Seven-point True Transmission" and their faces suddenly became strange. They glanced at Zhao Kai with a little dissatisfaction. One of the younger King Lu, who was a little bit arrogant, muttered in a low voice: "What's this? Isn't it just a show-off!"

As he said that, the princes bowed their hands, said goodbye, and left one after another.

Only Zhao Kai, King Qi, King Shen and Shen Ao were left in the room. Zhao Kai just heard the little brother's muttering, his face was as usual, and he shook the paper fan with an indifferent look. Instead, King Qi Zhao Mo was leaving, and slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and said, "The eldest brother is becoming more and more disgusting. Isn't this an obvious provocation?"

King Xin Zhao Zhi said, "The Ninth Prince is not a good person either. Is that saying clearly meant to tell us, show off? He went to show off. He didn't see him silly in front of his father."

Zhao Kai advised: "They said that Lord Shen is still here, don't scare Lord Shen away."

When he said this, everyone laughed, and Chen Ao had to cough to hide his embarrassment.
