Chapter 1230 The Third Prince
After a simple exchange, Zhi Xuan realized that the woman in front of him was indeed his mother's sister, his aunt.
Back then, Mr. Zhu accidentally met the orphan Zhu Hualu and adopted her, so she and Zhi Xuan were not much different in age.
At this time, Zhi Xuan slapped his forehead and thunder rolled from the sky.
I couldn't help but look at my right hand, only to feel a burning pain in my face. Although I didn't mean to do it just now, I did touch a place that I shouldn't have touched.
Moreover, the one who was touched was...
Fortunately, the other party and the mother are not biological sisters, otherwise it would be so embarrassing if word got out.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Coral, why did you come to see me?"
"Call me aunt!"
Bamboo Coral pretended to be old-fashioned, and her tone was a bit stern. After a long time, she said: "The Third Prince held a dinner and invited the General's Mansion. The old man asked me to go with you."
Seeing Zhi Xuan frowning, she continued: "The old man did something wrong when he removed my sister's name from the family tree. Moreover, I have never liked their usual approach.
But he also wanted to protect the Zhu family. I hope you don't blame the old man. Over the years, the old man has been secretly looking for his sister's whereabouts, but there has been no news. "
Zhi Xuan was slightly startled.
I originally thought that the people of the Zhu family were not humane at all, but it turned out that the old man just wanted to deceive others.
After all, facing the Xuantian Alliance, not ordinary forces can contend.
"Forget it, I don't want to know what happened in the past. I can go to the Third Prince's dinner with you, but I represent the Alchemist Guild, not the General's Mansion."
"All right."
Bamboo Coral couldn't help but curled her lips.
She could see that Zizixuan still had deep opinions about the Zhu family, which could not be eliminated with a few words.
…
The third prince's palace is not far from the palace. It has red doors, red walls, and criss-crossed high terraces and attics. It is the most luxurious among the princes.
When Zizixuan, Ouyang Hong and Zhuhuan arrived there, it was almost time for the dinner to begin.
Under the leadership of a guard, the three of them arrived at a pavilion, which was already full of people. Everyone had a high status and was a person who could speak in the imperial city.
When they saw Ouyang Hong and Bamboo Coral, everyone stepped forward to salute. After all, Ouyang Hong was the vice president of the Alchemist Guild and many people knew them.
And Bamboo Coral is not only as beautiful as a flower, she is also the favorite daughter of Mr. Zhu of the General Mansion, and her reputation is not low.
But when they looked at Zhi Xuan, a trace of confusion flashed across their faces.
Those who can stand with Ouyang Hong should not be much different in status, but they have never seen Zizixuan and don't know who he is.
"Perhaps he is a relative of Vice President Ouyang, who brought him to see the world."
Some people think so.
After all, all the records Zixuan created in the Alchemist Guild were only known to the people in the guild and were not deliberately publicized.
This resulted in some people not collecting information in time and not knowing Yizixuan's identity.
Bamboo Coral pulled Zhi Xuan to sit down next to her, and whispered: "The third prince's dinner looks simple, but it has other purposes."
"What purpose?"
Zhi Xuan said doubtfully.
Bamboo Coral looked around carefully. At this time, the third prince had not come out yet, and the rest of the people did not notice the conversation between the two.
Then he said: "As far as I know, the Human Emperor is planning to select a crown prince from among several princes recently. In order to gain the Emperor's approval, the four princes began to recruit various forces to prove their abilities.
The General's Mansion didn't want to get involved in their power dispute, so they asked me to come here in place of the old man. To put it bluntly, it was just a formality. "
"So that's it."
Zhi Xuan didn't expect that there was such a reason.
Ouyang Hong on the side also smiled and said: "Although the Human Emperor likes the Fourth Prince the most, when it comes to winning over people's hearts and controlling the overall situation, the Third Prince is the best, so the final position of the kings will most likely fall to the Third Prince."
"So, the Alchemist Guild is ready to side with the Third Prince?" Zhu Coral asked with a half-smile.
Ouyang Hong saw the other party's temptation at a glance, shook his head and said: "Miss Zhu misunderstood, the Alchemist Guild's interest is in alchemy, and it also does not want to participate in various disputes, and I am not the only one who is involved in such things. People have the final say.”
"Old fox!"
Bamboo Coral rolled her eyes.
At this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the crowd, and a middle-aged man came out.
The man is majestic and has piercing eyes, giving him an aura that is not angry but powerful. Although he has a smile on his face, it is difficult for people to guess what he is thinking in his heart.
"He is the Third Prince."
Bamboo Coral whispered.
"It's really not simple."
Although the other party didn't say a word, Zhi Xuan could tell that he was a very dignified person.
The third prince sat down on the first seat and smiled at everyone: "Please sit down, everyone. You are welcome. This dinner has no other meaning. I just want to catch up with you all. Don't be too formal."
He glanced at the crowd, and when he saw Bamboo Coral, he was obviously stunned, and then smiled: "I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see Miss Coral today. I wonder why the old general didn't come over?"
"My father's old illness has relapsed, so I will handle the banquet this time. I hope the Third Prince won't be offended."
Bamboo Coral said lightly.
"In this case, your body is more important."
The Third Prince didn't say anything. Most people knew about Mr. Zhu's physical condition, so there was nothing to doubt.
Moreover, if he wants to win over all forces, he also needs a general's office.
However, when the third prince saw Zhi Xuan standing aside, his eyes lit up, "I heard that a seventh-grade alchemist badge was awarded at the Alchemist Guild a few days ago. It should be this Mr. Ye, right?"
"Seventh grade alchemist?"
At this time, everyone focused their attention on Zhi Xuan, with a look of surprise on their faces.
No wonder that boy would sit next to Ouyang Hong and Zhu Huanhuan. He turned out to be an alchemist, and a seventh-level alchemist at that.
"What is that kid's identity? He became a seventh-grade alchemist at such a young age. He should be from a first-class family in the Central World."
"Only a force like that can have such a talent."
Everyone was talking a lot.
However, one of them said: "You all guessed wrong. I heard that when this Alchemist Ye went to the Alchemist Guild to take the badge test, he was not even a first-grade alchemist and was definitely not from the Central World.
At that time, he rushed from a first-grade alchemist to a seventh-grade alchemist in one go. All the elixirs he refined were top-grade, breaking various records of the Alchemist Guild. This news spread throughout the Alchemist Guild. You guys actually have no idea. "
"What?"
Everyone was stunned.
