Chapter 164 The battle for the throne
In the evening, after the day of study, Long Qingchen kept his stomach and took Nangong Wan'er with him, planning to have a big meal at the birthday party of the third princess and the fourth prince.
"In the future, our home will only be larger than this mansion."
Looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, Long Qingchen said sourly.
Nangong Wan'er calmly said, "What should I do like this big thing?"
Long Qingchen thought for a moment, "Because, I might open a harem, there are too many people, and I'm worried that I can't stay."
Nangong Wan'er rolled her eyes, turned her head, and ignored him.
At the gate, there were many noble officials and nobles coming to congratulate him with generous gifts.
The butler stared at the doorway, staring at the empty hands, looked not very good-looking, and said coldly, "Invitation."
"How do you know I didn't bring a gift?"
Long Qingchen raised his left hand and showed off his space ring. He was most disgusted with such a person who looked down on others.
"I'm sure you didn't bring it!"
The butler sneered, "Because, those who come to congratulate will never put the gift in the space ring, but hold it in their hands, so that the third princess and the fourth prince will know what they want!"
"It seems to make some sense." Long Qingchen was a little surprised. He is worthy of being the housekeeper of the Fourth Prince. His eyesight is indeed tricky, just like beautiful clothes. Few people will walk on the night road while wearing brocade clothes and never walking at night. This is the reason. You must wear them during the day and go to places with a lot of people to see them.

He took out the invitation from the space ring and handed it to the butler. As soon as the butler reached out, he let go and fell to the ground, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
The butler's face turned pale, his eyes were full of anger. He took a deep breath, but did not make any attack. He bent down to pick up the invitation, took a look, and looked at Long Qingchen with a strange look, "It turns out that it is Long Qingchen, who has recently become famous in the imperial capital. No wonder he is so rude!"
"I am famous in the imperial capital? So I am so famous."
Long Qingchen was a little disappointed. He wanted to anger the butler who looked down on others, and then took the opportunity to teach a lesson. Unfortunately, this butler was really tolerant.
Bang!
He took Nangong Wan'er and walked straight inside. When he passed by the butler, he stomped his feet, as if he was stepping on shit.
The housekeeper screamed, squatting on the ground in pain, and rolling with his left foot in his arms.
The dignitaries who came to congratulate them all looked at this scene in amazement.
Long Qingchen and Nangong Wan'er entered the mansion and, under the guidance of the maid, came straight to the hall. They said it was the hall, but it was actually very large. Like the auditorium, it was decorated in magnificently, with gold covering the walls, which was a bit dazzling.
I really wanted to deduct it and take it back. Long Qingchen resisted the impulse and told himself secretly that as a cultivator, gold is nothing, so don't be so unpromising.
The dignitaries gathered together in groups of three or three, chatting and laughing. Long Qingchen listened casually and said, it was nothing more than some unnutritious scenes, "That who has improved his cultivation." "That who has married a new concubine, and he is still stronger." "That who has been promoted." And so on.
Among these people, Long Qingchen saw some acquaintances, the eldest prince Lu Rangze, the legitimate son of Prince Heng, and some princes and daughters of the "Rang" generation of the Daqian royal family.
Also, the ninth prince Lu Ranggu and the seventeenth princess Lu Rangxue, that is, Yang Gu and Yang Xue, who were standing alone, were indeed neglected and no one was willing to pay attention to the two.
Yang Gu and Yang Xue also discovered him and Nangong Wan'er and walked over.
Yang Gu smiled and said, "I know, you will definitely receive invitations too."
"This is called a high-class banquet, it's boring."
Long Qingchen was a little bored. When he walked to the long table, he saw that it was filled with various delicacies, which was indeed more luxurious than the imperial restaurant.
The waiter asked politely, "What does this young master need?"
"I'll do it myself."
Long Qingchen took the cutter from him, cut a piece, and handed it to Nangong Wan'er.
The waiter stared at the whole deer leg he cut in amazement. These delicacies were placed here, mainly for the scene. The dignitaries and nobles generally don't know how to eat them. Even if they know how to eat, they would occasionally ask him to cut a few slices and taste them. I have never seen such a person.
The dignitaries and princes looked at each other, with strange eyes, and some people couldn't help but laugh.
"Can you stop doing such embarrassing things?"
Nangong Wan'er's face turned hot, and she turned her head, as if she didn't know him.
"Give you the most delicious deer legs, and love you, but you dislike it, haha, woman."
Long Qingchen was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he held the deer legs and started to eat.
The whole hall was silent and everyone was watching him eat.
"The third princess and the fourth prince are so good at inviting such people?"
"Sensationalists!"
Immediately, someone sneered, full of disdain.
Long Qingchen was too lazy to bird and the others. The deer legs were a little dry. He picked up the wine pot filled with wine on the long table without using a cup and poured it into his mouth. It felt comfortable.
"Your Highness the Third Princess, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, here!"
Just as Long Qingchen ate only the big bones left on his entire deer leg, the waiter shouted.
I saw a beautiful young woman in a long dress of colorful phoenixes and a handsome boy in a golden crown and a four-clawed dragon robe, holding hands and slowly walked out from inside, followed by a group of servants and maids.
"Meet His Highness the Third Princess and His Highness the Fourth Prince."
The nobles bowed and bowed.
The only people who did not perform rituals were the prince and the princess, as well as Long Qingchen and Nangong Wan'er.
Long Qingchen, who holds a big bone in his hand, is particularly eye-catching.
The third princess and the fourth prince noticed him at a glance, and were both stunned for a moment.
Seeing a guard following the third princess, Long Qingchen frowned slightly. He was the guard who was sending invitations at the entrance of the Imperial Capital Restaurant. He could follow the third princess with him, which would definitely be highly valued. He instantly realized that he had been fooled!
After looking at him, the guard smiled meaningfully, "That young man is Mr. Long Qingchen. It's hard for him to invite him. I tried my best to invite him."
The third princess smiled faintly, with a slight sense of pride, "I hope you don't come. When you come, I'm a little disappointed. It proves that you are just like this. You value the life and death of a guard so seriously, and it is destined to be difficult to become a great person."
Long Qingchen looked cold, "You have completely angered me. Originally, I didn't want to interfere in the battle for the throne. Since you like to play with me, I will play with you. I announced that I will officially support the Ninth Prince. I can guarantee that no one except the Ninth Prince can ascend the throne!"
Everyone looked at him in shock, wondering where he got the confidence. With a spiritual Taoist, it would be difficult to change anything.
A trace of brightness flashed in Nangong Wan'er's beautiful eyes. If Long Qingchen used the power of the dragon clan to forcibly support the ninth prince ascend the throne, the other princes would really have no chance!
