Nine Nether King's Estate, since the return of Nine Nether King and Ning Chen, for several days, royal dignitaries have been coming to pay their respects.
Ning Chen received everyone as usual, and welcomed all comers. Tea was changed from pot to pot, and teacups were thrown out one after another.
For several days, Nine Nether King did not show up again, and all matters concerning the palace were left to Ning Chen.
The day after Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince left, Ninth Prince sent two maids named Shi Yu and Shi Qing. They were both top-notch in appearance and temperament. They were rare in the world and their purpose was self-evident.
However, a few days after the two girls arrived at the palace, Ning Chen treated them as maids, serving them tea and water, and cleaning the palace, without showing any pity for them.
Shi Yu and Shi Qing were still hopeful at first. However, as time passed and the young master of Nine Nether King's Estate showed no interest in them, they gradually lost their expectations.
"Shi Yu"
In the royal palace, after seeing off the last batch of guests that day, Ning Chen glanced at the tea set on the table and called out.
"Your Highness"
Outside the king's palace, Shi Yu came over, looked at the person in front of him, and saluted Yingying.
"Pack it up and throw it away."
Ning Chen said calmly.
"Yes!"
Shi Yu responded lightly, walked to the table, cleaned up the tea sets, turned and walked out of the hall.
Outside the king's palace, Shi Qing looked at Shi Yu who walked out, a strange color flashed across his beautiful face, and said, "Throw it away again?"
"Yeah"
Shi Yu nodded and responded.
"Our Highness is really strange. Every time a guest leaves, the things they use must be thrown away." Shi Qing said with a puzzled expression.
"Just do the work and don't talk too much."
Shi Yu scolded softly, the nobles and nobles have many eccentricities, and slaves like them have no right to interfere.
Being scolded by Sister, Shi Qing was silent and did not dare to ask any more questions.
In the royal palace, after dealing with the royal dignitaries for several days, a look of exhaustion flashed across Ning Chen's face. Among the dignitaries, not all were sensual and sensual people. There were also many smart people like Xuan Qing and Xuan Ling. Even he had to deal with them carefully.
"Shi Qing"
Ning Chen saw the woman standing quietly outside the hall and called out.
"Your Highness"
Outside the royal palace, Shi Qing heard the call and immediately walked into His Highness, saluting respectfully.
"Is there any greeting card?" Ning Chen asked.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there is no more for now." Shi Qing said softly.
"That's good."
Ning Chen nodded and said, "Go and prepare two jars of good wine. I'll go out later."
"Yes"
Shi Qing took the order and backed out with a puzzled look on his face.
Your Highness is going out? Is there anyone else familiar to Your Highness among these Three Imperial Cities?
Not long after, Shi Qing walked into the palace carrying two jars of wine and handed them to the master in front of him.
"Your Highness, do you need a slave to go with you?" Shi Qing asked.
"No, you and Shi Yu can just stay at home."
Ning Chen responded, immediately took the two jars of wine, and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Outside the king's palace, Shi Yu and Shi Qing looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Where are you going, Your Highness?
Outside the palace, Ning Chen is walking westward, and the scorching sun is heading westward, gradually becoming dusk.
In front of Three Imperial Cities, the Imperial Guards were performing their last defense change. Xuan Mo looked at everything in place and felt relieved.
Although he had arranged the defense change countless times, he was still a little nervous every time. After all, the defense change was when the dynasty's defense was at its weakest, so he had to be careful.
After the defense change was over, Xuan Mo glanced at the setting sun and couldn't help but want to go home quickly.
"Thirteenth Prince"
At this moment, the defense change was completed and the Imperial Guards soldiers who were about to leave were startled when they saw someone coming from the front and saluted respectfully.
"Get up."
Ning Chen spoke calmly.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
All Imperial Guards soldiers stood up and moved out of the way.
Under the city gate, Xuan Mo saw the young man coming, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, Nine Nether King's disciple, why is he here?
Nine Nether King's disciple joined the royal family and became the first Thirteenth Prince in the royal family. Now the whole Three Imperial Cities is aware of it. Logically speaking, this Thirteenth Prince should not have any extra energy to come here.
"Xuan Mo brother."
Ning Chen looked at the man in front of him, smiled and said, "I dare to call you big brother, Xuan Mo big brother won't mind, right?"
"Thirteenth Prince has a distinguished status, and he has finally defeated the evil general." Xuan Mo saluted and said.
"Brother Xuan Mo is so polite. Master is in seclusion these days. I don't know anyone well in this city. I can't find anyone to drink with. I have no choice but to disturb brother Xuan Mo. I hope brother Xuan Mo won't mind." Ning Chen said with a smile.
Xuan Mo looked at the person in front of him. After a long time, he nodded and said, "If you don't mind, Your Highness, you can go and talk to me about this humble residence."
"Then I'll bother you, brother Xuan Mo." Ning Chen said.
"Your Highness, you are welcome, please!"
Xuan Mo said something with a respectful look on his face.
Ning Chen nodded and walked forward carrying two jars of wine.
To the southeast of the imperial city, the two of them walked forward. Not far ahead, in an inconspicuous courtyard, Xuan Mo came with Ning Chen.
Pushing open the courtyard door, a delicate-looking woman was busy in the courtyard. When she saw the two people walking towards her, her expression was obviously startled.
"This is Thirteenth Prince, the disciple of Nine Nether King." Xuan Mo introduced.
When the woman heard this, she looked shocked. She immediately stopped what she was doing and saluted, "Greetings to Thirteenth Prince."
Ning Chen stepped forward, helped the woman up, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to see anyone else. I came uninvited. I was the one disturbing you."
"Thirteenth Prince You are serious." The woman stood up and said.
"You go ahead and do your work, I'll entertain Thirteenth Prince." Xuan Mo looked at the woman and said.
"Yeah"
The woman nodded, bowed again, and then continued to go about her business.
"Thirteenth Prince, the house is humble and simple, please bear with me." Xuan Mo said seriously.
"No matter how luxurious a place is, if you can't be with the people you cherish, it is just a cold decoration. Although Brother Xuan Mo's place is simple, but with a virtuous wife like my sister-in-law to accompany you, it is better than any palace or palace." Ning Chen said with emotion on his face.
Xuan Mo looked slightly surprised after hearing the former's words. These words were not like those Imperial Authority nobles could say.
It seems that he still knows too little about disciple Nine Nether King.
"Your Highness, please come inside." Xuan Mo said.
Ning Chen nodded and walked towards the house.
The simple house, without any luxurious decoration, is just like ordinary people. There is no trace that this is the home of a Imperial Guards commander.
The woman came into the house with hot tea, poured it for the two of them respectively, and said softly, "I don't have very good tea at home. I hope Thirteenth Prince won't dislike it."
Ning Chen took the tea with both hands and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you really don't have to be so polite. My status as Imperial Prince is a lucky one, so it's not worth mentioning."
On the side, Xuan Mo placed the unloaded heavy armor on a table not far away, then walked back to the tea table and said, "His Royal Highness should have been busy receiving dignitaries of the royal family these days. Logically speaking, he should not have time to leave the house."
"After drinking tribute tea for several days, I got tired of it, so I came out to see Brother Xuan Mo for some drinks." Ning Chen said with a smile.
Xuan Mo fell silent and said, "Your Highness, in front of many soldiers, the general didn't say much. Now that we are the two of us, I will no longer hide. If your highness comes here to win over the general, your highness may have to go to waste. I have no interest in the royal family's fight, and I don't want to get involved."
Ning Chen heard this, smiled softly, and said, "Brother Xuan Mo, do you know how many times I have said these words in so many days?"
Xuan Mo heard it, and frowned slightly, what does it mean?
"Brother Xuan Mo, what do you think my master's status is in the Heavenly Demon Royal Clan?" Ning Chen asked with a smile.
"Although the royal family members have repeatedly obstructed, the strength shown by Nine Nether King in two attacks is enough to shock the entire Heavenly Demon Royal Clan. Except for Three Demonic Emperors, no one can match the majesty and status of Nine Nether King now." Xuan Mo said truthfully.
"As a disciple of Nine Nether King, what does brother Xuan Mo think of my status?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
"Except for the three princes, His Highness should be the first among all Imperial Prince Imperial Daughter." Xuan Mo responded.
Ning Chen listened to the former's answer, picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "I am not a direct bloodline of the royal family. It is absolutely impossible for me to inherit the position of the Demon Emperor, and my status as master is enough to protect my safety in the entire Heavenly Demon Royal Clan. Brother Xuan Mo, do you think I still need to win over supporters everywhere?"
Having said this, Ning Chen looked at the person in front of him and said with a smile, "I am not the three princes who do not want to do what they want. I am not the three princes. I have to try my best to strengthen my power to gain the opportunity to inherit the throne. I am not the other Imperial Prince Imperial Daughter. I have insufficient status and must find ways to protect myself. I am just an outsider with a special status. There is no point in attracting supporters."
Xuan Mo was silent. Thirteenth Prince said it was true. Did he think too much?
"Brother Xuan Mo is at the disposal of Imperial Guards. His identity is indeed sensitive. It is normal to have such doubts. However, brother Xuan Mo is really overthinking this time. I came here just to find someone to drink with, that's all." Ning Chen said calmly.
Xuan Mo listened to the former's words quietly, stood up, bowed solemnly, and said, "This is just a villain's heart. I hope Your Highness will not take offense."
"Brother Xuan Mo, you don't have to be polite. When I first entered the imperial city, I felt that brother Xuan Mo was a person worthy of close friendship, so I came here today. I am really tired of seeing the royal family and nobles these days. I came here just to get drunk." Ning Chen said softly.
Xuan Mo glanced at the two jars of wine beside the table and said, "Your Highness, I am not used to drinking the wine you brought."
"Oh?"
Ning Chen asked in confusion, "Could it be that Brother Xuan Mo has other good wines hidden here?"
"Men should drink Marching Wine!"
Xuan Mo said something, raised his left hand, and a powerful suction force burst out. Suddenly, under the table not far away, the wooden grid opened, and a jar of mud-sealed spirits appeared. The strong smell of alcohol rushed towards his face.
Seeing the dozens of jars of spirits under the table, Ning Chen gradually showed a smile on his face and said, "Take two jars of water and wine in exchange for so many fine Marching Wine, this trip is worth it!"
In front of the house, the woman saw this scene and retreated silently without disturbing the two of them.
