The Xiangjun Mansion got the news in advance. At this time, all the staff were dressed up and waiting by the river.People from far and near looked curiously.

The fleet has attracted the attention of many people, and those who can go here are going here.When the boat docked, a group of armed soldiers came down first, and stood on both sides of the bluestone road, all the way to the Xiangjun's mansion.

General Yan walked out of the cabin first, followed by two other generals, all fully armed.When they walked onto the trestle, another man in his early twenties walked out of the cabin, wearing red and yellow brocade clothes and wearing a sword at his waist.Everyone lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eye, not daring to look up.

The man walked in front, followed by a group of people.A sharp voice sounded: "His Royal Highness is here!"

Chen Fan and others knelt down: "Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

All the people nearby knelt down and said, "Welcome to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Pingshen." The prince's voice was very gentle.Everyone thanked them and stood up.

The horses had already been brought over, the prince and others got on the horses, and Chen Fan and the others followed on foot.Behind is a carriage.

The bluestone slab has been washed with water, and it is clean and refreshing. A group of people walked by without any dust flying.

The prince entered the main hall and sat at the head.General Yan and Eunuch Chang stood behind him.The accompanying officials sat down on the chairs on both sides, and Chen Fan and the others stood in the center of the hall.

The maids brought tea, set out watermelons and grapes, and left quickly.Chen Fan first saluted and introduced himself, followed by Zhang Ci.The prince looked at Zhang Ci and squeezed his fingers.

The accompanying officials opened their eyes wide.

The prince said: "The bumper harvest of grain in Changping Township is the great joy of the country and the happiness of the people. His Majesty is grateful for the loyalty of the Lord of Changping Township, and rewards the Lord of Changping Township."

One by one, the boxes were lifted up and opened, and the jewels and brocades were shining brightly.

Chen Fan and the others saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

At this time, the prince asked Chen Yue and their names.The children introduced themselves one by one.

Then, the crown prince introduced the accompanying officials, and the Chen family saluted them again.

He Zhongsheng, the servant of the household department, was straightforward: "This Mr. Zhang looks very kind, and reminds me of an old friend."

Zhang Ci saluted: "Cao Min is very honored to be able to look similar to an old friend of an adult."

He Zhongsheng sneered: "Mr. Zhang is eloquent and eloquent, with extraordinary talents."

Zhang Ci smiled: "Thank you for your compliment."

Chen Fan didn't want to listen to those officials, and started to report directly: the area of ​​wheat planting, the area of ​​farmland, production, taxation, and the township government moved and scraped together 300 million catties of wheat to dedicate to the court.

He Zhongsheng curled his lips: "In this way, the 300 million catties of wheat in Changping Township is really not easy."

Chen Fan nodded: "It's really not easy."

He Zhongsheng gritted his teeth.

Chen Fan picked up a plate, which contained two small slices of watermelon.She presented the watermelon in front of the prince: "The watermelon and grapes are freshly picked, please Your Highness and all the adults to taste."

The prince smiled: "Watermelons and grapes from Changping Township are very popular in the capital, and we are lucky today." He took the plate as he spoke.

A eunuch wanted to come up to test the poison, the prince waved his hand slightly, and the eunuch retreated.

Seeing the crown prince took a small bite, the other officials also lowered their heads and took a bite.

"The skin of the watermelon is thin and the meat is crispy, sweet and juicy. It is worthy of being a precious watermelon worth [-] guan." He Zhongsheng held a gun with a stick.

Chen Fan smiled lightly: "There are many nobles in the capital, ordinary watermelons cannot catch the eyes of nobles."

Zhang Ci said: "Your Highness is exhausted, please follow the grass people to the guest courtyard to rest."

The prince and the officials got up and followed Zhang Ci out.The eunuchs and maids waiting outside followed immediately.

Zhang Ci led them to the Kuang Garden, a new garden that was just expanded this year.

"Is this garden new?" The prince found out.

"Yes, the houses of the Xiangjun Mansion were originally built randomly, and they were quite messy. This year, a new one was built next to it, specially for welcoming distinguished guests." Zhang Ci replied.

The crown prince smiled: "I heard that the scenery of Su Garden is very beautiful. Looking at this Kuang Garden now, the scenery is also very pleasant."

A group of people walked around the open garden.The crown prince entered Tangyun Yuan, and the accompanying officials entered Qingfeng Yuan.

"This is the courtyard prepared for His Highness, please rest here. The items are all newly purchased."

The prince sat down in the hall and looked at Zhang Ci: "Feng Jun?"

Zhang Ci bowed and saluted without answering.

The crown prince didn't ask him to get up, but looked at him: "You are getting more and more handsome."

Zhang Ci maintained a saluting posture: "The grass people are rough and clumsy, and they are not as majestic as the prince."

The prince snorted lightly: "That Chen Zhongyan looks familiar to me, who is he?"

"He came from the county government together with Chen Zhongtan and Chen Zhongmei and was adopted by Miss Chen." Zhang Ci replied.

"This palace has heard of it, and now I just want to know, who is he?"

"Who does your Highness think he is?"

The prince sneered: "He is a bit like a concubine De."

Zhang Ci was silent.

The prince's face darkened: "It's been three years, and he's been here for three years." He didn't know that the missing sixth prince lived here for three years, and the emperor never mentioned it.Why didn't he notice these children at all?
"If he learns that his mother has stayed in the cold palace for three years, how will he react?" The prince said slowly.Zhang Ci's hands trembled slightly.

The prince noticed his movements: "It's strange to say, how did he get to the Yuanfeng county government office?"

"This grassroots doesn't know."

The prince hehe: "Grassman? Are you willing to be a son-in-law than a son-in-law?"

"Cao Min has agreed to be the son-in-law." Zhang Ci corrected.

The prince's face darkened: "But you beat the princess to death."

Zhang Ci remained silent and continued to maintain the salute posture.

"Your fate is so hard, why is Chen Fan fine?"

"Chen Fan has killed more people than me. I can't beat her. Maybe one day I will be killed by her."

Prince: "..."

You are cruel enough to curse yourself without hesitation.

"The sixth younger brother usually lives in seclusion in the palace and rarely sees each other. I can't remember the last time I saw him." The prince seemed to be recalling.

Zhang Ci was silent.

"Get up, go and call Chen Zhongyan over."

Zhang Ci stood up, saluted again, and retreated.

Chen Zhongyan came, knelt down and kowtowed: "My brother has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up."

Chen Zhongyan stood up, the prince was silent.

After a long time, the prince finally said, "Does the royal father know that you are here?"

"If Lord Zhongshuling and General Yan report it, Father will know about it."

"Did he bring you a present?"

Chen Zhongyan shook his head.

The prince was silent for a while, and asked, "How did you get to Yuanfeng County?"

"At that time, the concubine mother was grounded. I wanted to see the concubine mother quietly, but I fainted for some reason. What happened later is not very clear, it is vague. I only remember being with a group of refugees and being settled in a place by the officials. .Later, the people from the county government said that we had been adopted.”

The prince didn't believe a word.

"Zhang Ci didn't report to the palace?" The prince looked at him.

"I haven't met him in the palace, so he may not know me."
