C172 Challenge from the Prince (1/2)
Sounds of flattery towards the two princes rang out one after another.
Even Zhou Wuji, Zhao Huoming and Tian Hailiang were no exception.
They no longer had an arrogant appearance, and their faces were filled with a fawning expression.
Wang Xiaojian started to despise her in his heart.
The heck! Just a moment ago, they were still acting haughty, but in the blink of an eye, they immediately kneeled down to greet him with apologetic smiles.
Where did the scholarly pride go?
Where did the moral integrity go?
However, this was not his own prince. Even if he were to be flattered, he would not be promoted to a higher level!
Wang Xiaojian shook his head, looking down on his.
He felt that the thought of slavery was very hurtful.
He knew that the reason why these people were acting in such a manner wasn't because of the work of the two princes, but because of their identity.
In terms of national power, the Shang Country was stronger than the Xia Country.
The size of the land was more than twice the size of the Xia Country.
Even the princes of Xia Country felt inferior to the princes of both the Shang and Zhou kingdoms, let alone these people.
However, Wang Xiaojian was gratified that Chu Xiao did not act like these people and rush over to greet the two princes, and instead sat beside him.
”Xiao, aren't you going to say hello?”
Wang Xiaojian said while beaming.
Chu Xiao shook his head: ”Brother-in-law, I'm not familiar with them.”
Wang Xiaojian smiled slightly, thinking that this was indeed the youth that he had high hopes for.
He raised his teacup and said, ”Xiao, let's drink some tea.”
”Yes.”
At the side of the hall, Wang Xiaojian and Chu Xiao were leisurely drinking tea.
On the other side of the hall, the young talents were surrounding Hu Rui and Wu Liang.
Lady Ya swept across the hall and saw Wang Xiaojian and Chu Xiao.
Her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light.
She had paid attention to the Son-in-law Mansion before, so she knew the identities of these two people.
One was the fourth young master of Spiritual Sword Sect, the other was the popular patriotic poet, Lee Bai.
Now that the two princes had appeared, they remained unmoved. They happily drank their tea, making her think much more highly of them.
The Lady Ya walked over with gentle steps, swaying her slender waist as she walked over with a smile.
”My name is Xiya, and I pay my respects to the two gongzis.”
Wang Xiaojian was drinking tea with Chu Xiao, and when he raised his head, he saw Lady Ya.
He only saw the beautiful Ying Xiya possessing a noble and graceful temperament. Her skin was like cream, her beautiful eyebrows like a painting and a pair of peach blossom eyes like the autumn waves.
Her slender waist, her curvy body, and her attractive figure made her seem very attractive.
Wang Xiaojian and Chu Xiao stood up, smiling slightly, returning the greeting to the Lady Ya.
”Lee Bai greets Lady Ya.”
Ying Xiya had a good impression of Wang Xiaojian and his.
Especially Wang Xiaojian, who had read her notes on the subject more than once, and admired his talents greatly.
Ying Xiya smiled, her red lips moved slightly, and she was about to speak with Wang Xiaojian.
Just then, surrounded in the middle, Hu Rui who looked like an emperor accepting flattery walked out of the crowd.
He came to Lady Ya's side, and looked up and down at Wang Xiaojian, then turned to Lady Ya and smiled: ”Lady Ya, is this the Lee Bai who wrote the book for me?”
Everyone heard and were startled, they never thought that Hu Rui would be able to call out Lee Bai's name.
From the way he spoke, it was clear that he had heard of Lee Bai's name before.
Zhao Huoming, Zhou Wuji, and Tian Hailiang were all depressed.
They flattered each other for a long time, then forced the two princes to remember their names.
