However, the palace steward had already specially instructed the general to welcome the guests, and this old beggar and distinguished guest should not be neglected.

That's why the old beggar, so slovenly and unconventional, approached Poyang Prince's Mansion with such arrogance.

Zhu Xiuyuan and his party had just stepped half way into the palace when they saw the palace steward coming out with a smile: "Oh, we are full of distinguished guests, Governor Dong, Zhu Sima, Li Changshi, Gang Leader Hong!"

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng and others all bowed their hands in greeting, and after a brief exchange of greetings, the palace steward said: "Please follow me, the prince has already been waiting for you inside, please..."

"The housekeeper is too polite..."

Dong Cheng and others were polite and followed the palace steward to the inner hall.

After Dong Cheng and others walked away, the guests and family members here all looked at them sideways.

They gathered together to point out the people who could have the palace steward personally come out to greet them... It's true, but those were all famous people.

What was that just now?

Governor?

Sima?

Long history?

What other gang leader is there?

What kind of miscellaneous petty officials are these?!

King Poyang is the uncle of the current emperor and a first-grade prince!

The Poyang King guarded the Jiangzhou camp and was responsible for the military defense of the three states along the Poyang Lake. He had always been relied upon by the emperor.

Although King Poyang was a prince stationed in local prefectures and counties, his power in the court should not be underestimated.

Therefore, most of the people who came to Poyang Prince's Mansion to celebrate his birthday today were high-ranking officials of the imperial court, princes and generals stationed in various places, etc.

If any of these people are pulled out randomly, I'm afraid the governor or the like will only be able to carry shoes for others!

However, the reality is that it is so fucked up. The governor and other miscellaneous officials who can only carry shoes for others, the palace steward actually came out to greet him in person...

Everyone looked sideways.

"You don't know, right? That's Jiangzhou's Governor Dong, Zhu Sima! Do you still remember the plague more than half a month ago..."

Among the guests present, there were also those who knew the cause and effect. After their explanation, everyone finally understood.

I see!

After everyone realized this, they couldn't help but feel a little jealous in their hearts.

How lucky were Dong Cishi and Zhu Sima to have climbed onto the high branches of Poyang Prince's Palace, and from then on they rose higher and higher... They were really envious of others!

…

Let's say that the palace steward took Zhu Xiuyuan and others to the inner hall. On the way, the old beggar and Li Linzhou left the group and went to wait in the hall where the birthday banquet was held.

The two of them were not familiar with King Poyang, so there was no need to go to the inner hall to be an eyesore.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng followed the palace steward and walked around for a long time before arriving at the inner hall.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng saw King Poyang at a glance and bowed their hands in greeting.

King Poyang is the birthday boy today, and he is not wearing armor, but is wearing casual clothes. However, the majestic and domineering aura of an iron-blooded general is spreading everywhere, but he cannot hide it at all.

It's as breathtaking as a sharp sword.

"Hahaha..." Poyang King laughed loudly and waved his hands repeatedly, "Dong Jishi and Zhu Sima are all our own people, so there is no need to be polite! Please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng replied in unison.

"Haha, Zhu Sima, I just talked about you, come..." King Poyang half-circled Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulders like an elder and brought him to the rest of the people in the inner hall, "I will give you this

Introduce introduction..."

King Poyang took Zhu Xiuyuan away like an elder, leaving Dong Cheng standing there alone.

Dong Cheng was at a loss for a moment. He couldn't follow him, nor could he stay where he was... But he was a proven old fox after all, so he followed him shamelessly.

Dong Cheng was a mature man. Seeing that the King of Poyang treated Dong Cheng as his nephew and nephew, although he "snubbed" him, he had no evil thoughts in his heart and was actually very happy.

Regardless of what Dong Cheng thought, Poyang King pulled Zhu Xiuyuan and started to introduce him with a smile.

King Poyang first pointed to a wealthy middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, with a big belly, and said with a smile: "This is King Zhenze. The entire Taihu Lake and the areas surrounding Taihu Lake are under his jurisdiction. Zhenze

The gold and silver in the Wang family are piled up into mountains of gold, you have to fawn over him... Haha!"

Zhu Xiuyuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying: "I am lowered to you, Zhu Xiuyuan, to pay my respects to the prince!"

The face of King Zhenze was very easy-going. He laughed and waved his hand with five thick fingers, "Bless Sima, my ears are getting calloused. Haha, he is indeed a handsome young man.

What a talent!"

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes were dazzled by the gold rings on King Zhenze's five thick fingers, and he hurriedly said humbly: "The prince is ridiculously complimentary, how can I be so virtuous as a subordinate..."

King Zhenze's rich face burst into a smile, and he was very satisfied with Zhu Xiuyuan's humility.

Then, King Zhenze suddenly looked at a young man beside him, his expression suddenly changed, he raised his foot and kicked the young man's butt, and cursed: "Look at you, you are older than Zhu Sima Du, but you have accomplished nothing.

, I only know how to recite poems and compose poems all day long, and do nothing... You really disgrace me!"

Every time King Zhenze said something, he would raise his foot and kick the young man's butt... It seemed to be quite rhythmic. It seemed that King Zhenze did this kind of thing often.

The young man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was dressed in a gorgeous gown, a square scarf on his head, and a folding fan stuck behind his collar, dressed as a scholar.

His body is relatively thin, and his neck seems to be leaning forward, which is slightly defective.

However, his face is like a crown jewel, his clothes are gorgeous, and his bearing is extraordinary. If he straightens his neck a little, he will be a handsome and handsome young man.

It's a pity that the neck is slightly tilted forward, which affects the beauty a bit.

But this can be regarded as a major characteristic of this person.

"Ouch...Father, please spare my life...Ouch...Father, please be gentle...Ouch...Father..."

The young man jumped and ran away, shouting all the way. King Zhenze chased after him and kicked his butt.

What a wonderful father and son!

King Zhenze is a prince, and he actually kicked his own son's ass on the spot... This?

As for that prince, luckily Zhu Xiuyuan thought he was a man of extraordinary magnanimity... Being chased and beaten by King Zhenze like this, he must have been a naughty and troublemaker...

With this pair of living treasures, father and son, the whole inner hall became chaotic...

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng looked at this scene and couldn't help but be stunned.

…

"Brother Wang..." King Poyang felt a little headache, "Brother Wang, my nephew has not made any mistakes. Brother Wang, please let him go for the time being!"

The remaining people who had not yet been introduced by King Poyang also spoke out to persuade him.

With so many people trying to persuade him, King Zhenze seemed to have lost his temper.
