The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became anxious.
The guests originally thought that given the irritable and domineering character of the fourth prince Ji Bo, his anger would probably be ignited by the Minister of Rites today, causing him to lose his temper and lose face.
But they didn't expect that after three days of separation, the fourth prince was still overbearing, but much calmer. He didn't get angry, and he didn't have any unnecessary hesitation. He directly chose to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and with sharp words, he directly accused the Minister of Rites of disrespecting the prince, so that the prince must Responded.
"Bo Chang, tell me, it's rare for you to come to the Emperor's East Palace once, what gifts do you bring?" Ji Boying opened the gift box with a smile. Inside the gift box was a white jade vase containing dozens of lotus seeds.
Zhao Wujiang smiled lightly and said:
"It should.
The Zhou Dynasty was a land of etiquette, and Bo Chang would not lack the proper etiquette. "
The guests around him looked somewhat ugly when they heard this. The fourth prince seemed to be answering the prince, but in fact he was mocking them. Zhou Dynasty is a country of etiquette, but they did not salute when the fourth prince came in.
"This must be the lotus seed, right?" Ji Boying looked at the lotus seed in the bottle with a smile on her face.
Zhao Wujiang shook his head slowly. He knew that Ji Boying knew that these were just ordinary lotus seeds and asked this question deliberately.
"Hmph." Yang Bingen, the Duke of Yang on the other side of Ji Boying, snorted and said disdainfully:
"This is not a lotus seed, it's just an ordinary lotus seed."
Seeing the prince's words causing trouble, Yang Guogong took the lead. Many guests also understood and began to use his words to suppress him.
"My lord, in your capacity as Prince Yin, how could you possibly give ordinary lotus seeds to the prince? Are you sure you read this correctly?"
"Is this because you, Taichang Shaoqing, are ignorant and ignorant? Dao Lian's secret realm group and Dao Lian's seeds were all taken away by Zhao Wujiang alone?"
"Ah? Is there still this matter? Who is Zhao Wujiang? Can he be stronger than His Highness Prince Yin?"
"I have to ask His Highness Prince Yin about this matter."
"I heard that Zhao Wujiang was a loose cultivator in the mountains, but he took away all the Dao Lotus Seeds."
"That's nonsense. With His Highness King Yin's strength, how could it be possible that he didn't capture even a single lotus seed? Isn't this a disgrace to our Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty?"
"I have also heard that Zhao Wujiang is so handsome that he has attracted many girls to practice the Five Confusions and Three Ways."
"I think this is just spreading rumors. How many people in the world can surpass His Royal Highness in appearance and temperament?"
"Zhao Wujiang also has affairs and enmities with many forces. I learned from Wanbao Pavilion that even His Highness King Yin suffered at the hands of Zhao Wujiang."
"Don't talk nonsense, His Highness King Yin has an immortal body and has been immersed in the realm of transformation for many years. How could he be defeated by a mountain cultivator?
It is absolutely impossible for His Highness King Yin to do such an incompetent act. "
"..."
Guests say something to each other.
It looked like they were arguing, but in fact they were just singing a double act to ridicule the fourth prince, who was a cultivator of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty and had an immortal body, but actually lost to the casual cultivator Zhao Wujiang.
From the information they obtained, they knew that Zhao Wujiang was an extremely talented person, but it was an indisputable fact that the fourth prince was defeated and failed to capture the Daolianzi from Zhao Wujiang.
It was a fact that they could use to ridicule and suppress the Fourth Prince, but the Fourth Prince had no room for argument.
No matter what the fourth prince said, they only needed to say "You lost to Zhao Wujiang", and the fourth prince could only be speechless, and any wording would be like a feeble sophistry.
Zhao Wujiang only thought it was funny, smiled faintly, said nothing, and drank by himself.
Lin Yu was furious, but when he thought of His Highness's previous lesson, he could only take a deep breath and warned himself to stay calm.
When the guests saw the fourth prince and remained silent, they thought that the fourth prince's weakness had been touched by their words, so they became even more noisy and began to use Zhao Wujiang's identity as a casual cultivator to exalt and praise Zhao Wujiang, in order to belittle his highness as inferior to others.
They were saying overtly and covertly that the fourth prince enjoyed the resources of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty but could not compete with a casual cultivator. He was really a waste.
