In accordance with the will of Emperor Pingwu, the Criminal Department thoroughly investigated Zhu Wenying's loss of the Imperial Jade Pendant Palace, Zhu Wenying confessed that she was accidentally lost when hunting with the princes a few months ago, and concealed the matter for fear of being scolded by her father. As for how the jade pendant fell into the hands of the Assassins, there were no clues. Emperor Pingwu speculated that someone must have been jealous of the Xue family and wanted to come up with a poisonous plan to blame others, as for who got the jade pendant palace silk on the day of the hunt, it became a headless unsolved case.

After the old mage came to the Changming Palace, the prince was like a treasure, eating and living without leaving the left, the mage found out the prince's temperament, knew that he liked to dance with guns and sticks, so he taught him fighting skills, from time to time to show some interesting illusions, and told a lot of anecdotes about the monsters, the prince and his wife listened to it again and again. When the prince asked about the mage's background, the demon slayer said that he would only wait a few days to announce his origin in public at the mage conference.

The prince implored Emperor Pingwu to hold a Huaxia mage fighting conference as soon as possible, and Emperor Pingwu also wanted to find out the details of the mage, so he could approve the prince's invitation, and then the princes and generals would gather in Changming Palace to fight with the audience. Emperor Pingwu calculated that if the old mage could really break through the chieftain's "poor" army formation, he would choose the opportunity to pass the throne to the crown prince in the future, and the throne would undoubtedly be passed on to his favorite prince.

The people heard that the prince invited a mage, and he claimed that he could break the "poor" army of the chieftains, and that they could use witchcraft inside and outside the capital, and those who knew some magic thaumaturgy, and all sects and sects were not convinced, and secondly, they wanted to see with their own eyes what this mage was capable of, and they were ashamed to break through the "poor and poor" army formation composed of tens of millions of "poor and poor", and they all volunteered to try and apply to participate in the mage conference.

After Xue Zhongbing received the invitation from the crown prince, he couldn't miss the opportunity to show up and hand over the royal family, and he was overjoyed. On the day of the mage conference, I washed up early in the morning, had breakfast, and hurriedly went to the East Palace with Yue Qing and other cronies.

Changming Palace changed its low-key and clean weather, and the secretary of state paid homage to Yingmen, and the carriages and horses were like dragons. James Mansion Prince James Weiyan, Shao James Shi Quan Qi, and King Daguang of the Mansion greeted all the guests outside the Chongming Gate at the main gate of the East Palace, which was very lively.

The crown prince and Concubine Wei Xuan stood on the high fence of the Cheng'en Palace, full of spirit and joy. I saw Concubine Wei Xuan wearing a crown of nine pearls and four phoenixes, dressed in a dark green Zhai clothes, dignified and beautiful, and said: "The face is covered with Danxia powder, Luan Feng has double temples, the willow eyebrows are jealous, the eyes are high, the beauty is ashamed, and the self-contained is not angry." ”

The demon slayer walker followed behind the prince and his wife, and the walker pretended to be solemn and calm, and his expression could not hide his proud and complacent.

Concubine Wei Xuan laughed loudly: "Your Highness, today's grand event, the concubine is really happy for her husband today, we have this strange person, if we can share the worries and solve problems for our father and the emperor, and defeat the chieftain, Your Majesty will definitely pass on the throne to His Royal Highness, and the husband will ascend to the pole, what a glory and how happy the concubine should be!" At that time, the concubine had nothing else to ask for His Royal Highness, but asked His Highness to agree to the concubine! ”

The prince looked at her affectionately, only to feel that Wei Xuan was still as bright as a flower when he first saw her, although she was a little delicate and spicy, but she was always affectionate to herself, and she only felt that she was becoming more and more cute.

The prince laughed and said: "You have something to ask me for this time, what is the matter in the palace, what is not according to you, but laugh at my puppet Highness!" Wei Xuanjiao said angrily: "Your Highness! The concubine is serious, I only hope that His Royal Highness will love the concubine for the rest of her life, there will be no other love, and the concubine will have no regrets even if she dies! The prince knew that she was crazy again, and comforted: "Ai Concubine, now that the chief is coming, the husband is worried about the war day and night, how can he have the heart to pay attention to women." It is enough to have one person's heart, and the concubine will always be in my heart! The prince pointed to his heart.

Concubine Wei knew that what the prince said was true, she burst into tears, and she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world today.

The hall has already gathered guests.

Among the guests were the prince, the generals, the envoys of the two countries and many famous mages in China, and heard that the prince invited the alien mage, known as the miracle of the world, and could break the "poor" army formation of the chieftain, all of them were curious to take a look, and there were more competitive and unconvinced, so they took this opportunity to compete with them.

Xue Zhongbing saw the prince for the first time, and tried his best to flatter and flatter, touting the prince's virtuous ability in every way, and even the arrogant Concubine Wei Xuan also fell in love with Xue Zhongbing's shrewdness and cleverness, and the prince admired him even more, so dark that he really didn't see the wrong person, and trusted him even more.

Yue Qing followed Xue Zhongbing and was very happy, today he could see the old mage show his skills and feast his eyes. Among the guests, there was a woman, I saw her wearing short-sleeved chain mail, green cotton trousers, a square face with Chinese characters, eyebrows like ink paintings, eyes like paint, holding a Ruyi soft rope gun, heroic, not inferior to a man in momentum. When she saw Xue Zhongbing, her brows furrowed, her eyes glared angrily, and she wanted to stab him with a shot, this person was Zhu Wenying, the Marquis of Shuwu. Today, she came with the two princes to watch the battle, and she didn't want to meet Xue Zhongbing here, so she couldn't help but be angry, and she couldn't wait to shoot her through the heart.

Xue Zhongbing watched Zhu Wenying's every move in his heart, thinking that she would dare to be presumptuous in the East Palace, so she smiled disdainfully, followed behind the prince and kept answering the words, ignoring them all.

The prince and his wife and the subordinate officials of the East Palace led the guests out of the Cheng'en Palace, and walked to the Yichun Palace, where the East Palace feasted the guests, and the banquet had already been prepared.

The prince knew what everyone was thinking, and whispered to the demon slayer beside him: "Look at those people, there is some contempt, after the banquet, show your skills and make them happy and convinced!" ”

The demon slayer walker Cheng Zhu held it in his chest and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old decay will live up to Your Highness's drooping green!" ”

Xue Zhongbing shook the bamboo fan and interjected: "The finches are small, the grand plan of His Royal Highness Anzhi, the day before yesterday and his father saw the magic of the mage, if there are really miraculous people in China, the army of the chieftain should be destroyed long ago, how can His Highness worry about this?" The minister thought that His Royal Highness was ordained by Heaven to obtain a stranger, and he would be succeeded by the four seas. How can the wise and wise be glimpsed by the mediocre? I only hope that His Royal Highness's grand plan will be displayed, and after the enemy is pacified, Weichen is willing to serve His Royal Highness! ”

The prince was overjoyed when he heard this, and said secretly: "No wonder it is rumored among the royal relatives that you Xue Zhong is virtuous, which can be regarded as the king's acquaintance." Inherit the throne in the coming day, after this person is good at investigation, if it is a good material, he will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility! ”

The prince said with a smile: "Before, I could only exchange letters with Aiqing, but today I saw Junyan's face, and sure enough, Xianda Cong (forbidden Ming) Hui, worthy of his reputation, hated to see each other late!" Aiqing has such a heart, how can this king not remember it? This time, the mage was invited, all of them were the merits of Qing, he destroyed the chieftain one day, and the king will not forget! I hope you will be loyal and diligent in the future, and the monarchs and ministers will work together to become a prosperous industry! ”
