Xiao Zheng had gone to the palace through the back door several times before. Not only did he keep a low profile, but he also did not dare to wander around. He was afraid of arousing suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble.
But this time, he entered the palace as a distinguished guest of the first heir to the Emperor, Tian Xiong. Not only was the treatment different, but he also did not have to hide it from anyone. Therefore, he swaggered through the main entrance and enjoyed the high-class treatment of the palace.
"Good evening, Mr. Xiao."
Two rows of neatly dressed palace maids greeted him respectfully. Coupled with the antique building at the palace entrance, it really gave Xiao Zheng the illusion of returning to ancient times. He smiled and nodded, accepting the warm welcome of the palace maids. Under the guidance of a middle-aged butler, he strode to the building for receiving distinguished guests.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the building, Xiao Zheng met Princess Ling La, who was sitting in a wheelchair and being slowly pushed by Mitsui Baiji.
Different from the previous meetings, Princess Ling La was also dressed up tonight. Her already gentle and beautiful face revealed a faint elegant aura. Her eyes were moving and bright.
"Good evening, Mr. Xiao."
Under Mitsui Baiji's push, Princess Ling La slowly came in front of Xiao Zheng and walked side by side with him.
"Princess Ling La is really beautiful. Like a fairy from the Nine Heavens. "Xiao Zheng praised with a smile. He was very polite.
"Boss Xiao must be joking." Princess Ling La smiled. "Who doesn't know that Boss Xiao has a real girlfriend who can topple a nation? What's more, he had a father-in-law with great wisdom? I believe that soon, Mr. Xiao will definitely become a dragon among men, able to summon the wind and summon the rain. "
Xiao Zheng smiled reservedly, but in his heart, he said, "Lin Chaotian is indeed a demon, but unfortunately, his position is different from my own. If nothing unexpected happens, he will inevitably embark on a life and death struggle in the future. It will be difficult to resolve. "
However, these words were only in his heart. Naturally, Xiao Zheng could not tell Princess Ling La. This was the principle of not washing one's dirty linen in public.
"Mr Xiao. Cousin Ling Lai! "
While they were chatting, a powerful voice suddenly came from the door. Then, a tower-like figure appeared leisurely. He walked towards them with a smile on his face.
This person was dressed in a well-ironed suit and had a tall and mighty figure. His entire body exuded a fierce and vigorous aura. His facial features were as sharp as knives, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His square face was full of masculinity.
Who was this person?
He was the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Tian Xiong!
He had a good reputation in the imperial family. He was also young and talented. Even among the people and on the Internet, it had a high degree of support. Many Japanese female netizens called him "hubby". It was a hot topic.
Xiao Zheng took a quick look and felt that this person had an extraordinary bearing. He was an important person with great stature.
Tian Xiong was only thirty-two years old. However, he was already an important figure in the palace. Except for the dying emperor, he, the legitimate heir, was the most powerful.
Xiao Zheng could become a distinguished guest of the imperial family and be personally entertained by the future emperor. It could be seen that he had a high influence in the imperial family. But at the same time, didn't it reflect his international influence from the side?
Of course, Xiao Zheng believed that he could be so valued in the Japanese imperial family. The main reason was that he had a good personal relationship with Ling Lai. Otherwise, Crown Prince Tian Xiong might not invite him to dinner.
Of course. No matter what the reason was, Ma Choi Jun and Siyan were looking forward to the dinner with Xiao Zheng tonight. They were also envious.
"How many imperial families in the world have political power? The emperor of Japan is definitely one. Boss, you are awesome. You can become a distinguished guest of the future emperor. "Ma Choi Jun admired him from the bottom of his heart. He gave a thumbs up.
The crown prince strode towards the two, and the nearby maids and guards saluted. It could be seen that the crown prince had a high status in the palace and was deeply respected.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng also saluted politely and said with a smile, "Thank you for meeting me in person, Crown Prince."
Tian Xiong smiled and waved his hand, "Mr. Xiao, you are too polite. With your status, it is my honor that you accepted my invitation to have this meal. "
Ling Lai also saluted respectfully with a proper posture. Tian Xiong hurriedly stepped forward and supported Ling Lai, who was bending slightly, and said softly, "Sister, don't stand on ceremony. We are a family. "
His words were so sincere that it moved people.
"Thank you, brother." Ling Lai smiled gently.
From the appearance, they were definitely a close family. But how could Xiao Zheng be confused by appearances?
He could even imagine that Miyamoto and Crown Prince Tian Xiong, who had just met last night, would only be more polite and intimate.
After chatting for a while, Tian Xiong personally led the two in. Then they passed through the front hall and went straight to the dining hall.
The dining hall was huge. Four beautiful maids stood by the table. When the three walked into the dining hall, they saluted in unison.
"Mr. Xiao, this is a simple meal. Please don't mind." Tian Xiong invited the two to take a seat and said modestly.
Xiao Zheng heard this and slowly sat down, smiled and said, "Crown Prince, you are too polite. This is my first time eating a meal in the royal family. I can't wait to be happy, how can I mind? "
Ling Lai took the opportunity and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, my brother rarely receives foreign guests. It is even rarer to invite friends to dinner here. "
This was obviously to help Crown Prince Tian Xiong. Xiao Zheng understood in his heart, but he became even more courteous.
Although Xiao Zheng was not as hostile to Japan as many young people. But history could not be forgotten. Even if he did not hate it to the bone. But he still had some prejudice. Even if the invasion had nothing to do with the current royal family, and even his father's generation may not have been born at that time. But this kind of hostility flowing in the blood, in the bones, was still difficult to completely eliminate.
However, the current Xiao Zheng had long since mastered the art of putting on a facade. How could he let such childish thoughts flow on the surface?
After Tian Xiong dismissed the maids, there were only three people left in the large dining hall. He raised his glass and toasted Xiao Zheng, "Mr. Xiao, only a glass of wine to welcome you."
"Crown Prince is too polite." Xiao Zheng raised his glass and then drank. Very happy.
After the wine went into his stomach, Tian Xiong's handsome face showed a touch of appreciation, "Mr. Xiao has a good capacity for liquor. No wonder my sister admires you so much. "
"Your Highness thinks too highly of me. I am just an ordinary businessman. "Xiao Zheng smiled and said modestly.
"An ordinary businessman?" Tian Xiong smiled and shook his head with a look of disbelief. "If Mister Xiao is just an ordinary businessman, then why don't you tell me? Why would my little Imperial Uncle try to win you over? Even if you offend him again and again, he still hopes to reach a consensus with you. To be an ally. "
After drinking a glass of wine, the Crown Prince went straight to the topic without hiding. Xiao Zheng was quite surprised. He glanced at Ling Lai and saw that the other's expression was normal, as if he had already expected it. He stopped talking and said with a smile, "I don't like to be enemies, but some people are not destined to be friends."
