Jian Chen did not turn down Qin Ji's request. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed in an extremely straightforward manner.
Following this, Jianchen temporarily stayed in the imperial palace of the Qin Empire. Although his days were as carefree as an immortal's, Jianchen was still somewhat unaccustomed to life in the imperial palace. At night, there were always several armored guards and maids waiting outside the palace door. On one hand, they were there to ensure Jianchen's safety, and on the other hand, they were there to serve Jianchen. Even when Jianchen walked around the imperial palace, there were always several guards and maids following behind him.
If it wasn't for the fact that Jianchen knew that this was a treatment that every distinguished guest had to enjoy, he might have really suspected that these people were here to monitor him, afraid that he would do something improper in the imperial palace of the Qin Empire.
The next day, Qin Ji found Jianchen early in the morning and brought Jianchen to stroll around the imperial palace. He constantly introduced Jianchen to every place in the imperial palace. Jianchen didn't bring the White Tiger with him when he strolled around the imperial palace. He didn't want the white tiger to be exposed to too many nobles, so before he left, he fed the white tiger several heavenly treasures, causing the white tiger to fall into a deep sleep with a blissful expression.
The imperial palace of the Qin Empire was very large. Jianchen and Qin Ji walked around for an entire day and only managed to explore two-thirds of the imperial palace. The remaining one-third was either not in time or was in some forbidden areas. During this day, Jianchen also got to know many young masters and young ladies from noble families through Qin Ji's introduction. Their ages were all around the same age as Jianchen and Qin Ji. However, in front of these people, Qin Ji didn't introduce Jianchen in detail. He only said that Jianchen was a friend that he had made in private. This caused many young masters and young masters from noble families to disdain Jianchen. However, Jianchen's resolute and handsome face caused many young ladies of prominent status to cast strange glances at him. There were even a few lively and cheerful young ladies who directly opened their mouths to express their goodwill to Jianchen.
However, Jianchen's popularity caused some young masters and young masters of noble families to be dissatisfied. Their gazes towards Jianchen were filled with intense jealousy.
After Jianchen and Qin Ji left, many prominent princes and young masters immediately sent people to inquire about Jianchen's background. However, the results they obtained made everyone sigh in relief. This was because the information they found out was that Jianchen didn't belong to any major power. He was an unknown character. According to their guesses, even if Jianchen had a certain background, it was at most a power that couldn't be shown in public.
In the evening, Jian Chen finished his day's tour of the Imperial Palace. He and Qin Ji returned to the dazzling palace for a meal. This was Qin Ji's residence, and it was extremely large. There were several palaces, and all kinds of living facilities and leisure facilities were available.
Just as Jianchen and Qin Ji were eating and chatting happily, a guard in armor ran in from outside. He knelt on one knee in front of Qin Ji and said respectfully, "Third Prince, Princess Qin Shuang, Princess Qin Yubing, and the Southern Commandery Princess have arrived at Cloud Palace." Cloud Palace was the palace where Qin Ji lived.
Hearing this, Qin Ji frowned slightly and muttered, "Strange, why are they here?" Then, Qin Ji seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Jianchen meaningfully and laughed, "Please, quickly invite them in!"
"Yes, Third Prince!" The guard answered and immediately retreated.
After the guard left, Qin Ji and Jianchen toasted each other and smiled faintly, "Brother Jianchen, I don't have such a deep friendship with the three of them. This is the first time they have come to my residence. I think they are here for you."
Jianchen drank the wine in his cup and smiled bitterly, "Brother Qin Ji, you are being sarcastic."
Qin Ji glared at him and said with a serious face, "Sarcastic? I am not being sarcastic. Jianchen, don't doubt my words. Let's wait and see."
Soon, three beautiful young girls in the prime of their lives slowly walked in from outside. These three were the most cheerful of the many princesses he had seen in the palace during the day.
Princess Qin Shuang, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, winked at Qin Ji mischievously and said in a delicate voice, "Brother, Qin Shuang has never come here to see you before. Don't tell me you don't welcome me, your sister Huang?"
Qin Ji laughed and said, "Welcome, welcome. How can I not welcome you? My two sisters, the Southern Commandery Princess, please sit down. You must have not eaten yet. Servants, quickly prepare three sets of tableware."
The two princesses and the Southern Commandery Princess were forthright and generous girls, but their speech and behavior were full of the temperament of a lady from a noble family. They thanked Qin Ji politely.
When the three of them sat down, Princess Qin Yubing glanced at Jianchen and then said to Qin Ji, "Oh right, brother, you have not introduced this friend of yours to me. I am very curious, how did you two meet?"
Hearing this, Qin Ji winked mischievously at Jianchen and explained with a smile, "There is no harm in telling you. Brother Jianchen and I met at the Mercenary Tournament. We felt like old friends at first sight and have since become friends. Moreover, this brother of mine is the King of Mercenaries who obtained first place in this year's Mercenary Tournament."
"Ah, so he is the Jianchen who obtained first place in the Mercenary Tournament …" The two princesses and the Southern Commandery Princess revealed a very surprised expression. The way they looked at Jianchen changed again, a pair of bright and beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light.
Seeing the three princesses and the Southern Commandery Princess staring at him without blinking, Jianchen could not help but bitterly smile in his heart. He then fiercely glared at Qin Ji. However, Qin Ji acted as if he did not see Jianchen at all. A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he continuously stuffed the delicacies on the table into his mouth. He was very happy to eat alone.
"Wow, Jianchen, you are so powerful. You are actually the first place in this year's Mercenary Tournament. This means that you must be even more powerful than our brother. Come, I, Situ Yan, propose a toast to you!" The Southern Commandery Princess immediately raised the cup in her hand and said to Jianchen with a heroic expression. She had the demeanor of a chivalrous woman.
After Situ Yan, Qin Shuang and Qin Yubing also raised their cups. The three princesses and the Southern Commandery Princess proposed a toast to Jianchen at the same time.
At this moment, of course, Jianchen could not back down. He stood up from his seat and raised his cup with a smile on his face. He said some polite words to the three princesses and the Southern Commandery Princess and the Southern Commandery Princess. Then the four of them clinked their cups. Just as they were about to drink the wine in their cups, a loud noise came from outside.
"Young Master Xiaohan, you can't go in. Without the Third Prince's permission, you can't enter Yunxuan Palace …"
"Young Master Xiaohan, please don't make it difficult for us. Without the Third Prince's permission, you can't enter Yunxuan Palace …"
"Get out of my way. Who do you think I am? I don't need to inform the Third Prince when I come to visit."
As he spoke, a young man about 25 years old strode in from outside. The young man looked dignified and wore a gorgeous green robe. Between his eyebrows, there was a strong sense of arrogance. He gave off the feeling that he did not care about anyone in the world.
Behind the young man, two armored guards tried to stop him. However, the young man's status was not low. He had barged into the Third Prince's Yunxuan Palace, but the guards did not dare to do anything to him.
"Third Prince, please forgive us!" The two guards helplessly apologized to the Third Prince.
Qin Ji looked at the young man expressionlessly. Then he waved his hand at the two guards and said, "You two can leave now."
"Yes, Third Prince!" The two guards acted as if they had been pardoned and quickly left.
Qin Ji looked at the young man who had barged in and said in a deep voice, "Xiaohan, why did you suddenly come to my Yunxuan Palace?"
The young man named Xiao Han smiled and cupped his hands at Qin Ji, "Third Prince, tomorrow is His Majesty's fiftieth birthday. Xiao Han has come here to discuss the birthday gift with Third Prince. If I have disturbed you, Third Prince, please don't blame me." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaohan suddenly looked at Qin Shuang, Qin Yubing, and the South Commandery Princess. He was shocked and said, "I didn't expect the two princesses and the South Commandery Princess to be here as well. What a coincidence. Oh, three princesses, what are you doing? " Xiao Han looked at the two princesses, the southern princess, and Jian Chen in surprise. Even an idiot would know what the four of them were doing from such a scene.
A hint of jealousy flashed in Xiaohan's eyes. However, he smiled and said, "Princesses, are you toasting with the Third Prince's friend?"
Princess Qin Shuang, Princess Qin Yubing, and the South Commandery Princess frowned at the same time. There was a hint of disgust in their eyes. They were very disgusted with Xiaohan.
Princess Qin Yubing did not even look at Jianchen. There was a faint smile on her face. She raised her wine glass and smiled at Jianchen. "Let's drink!" Princess Qin Yubing's voice was very soft. It made people's hearts tremble.
Then, Qin Shuang and the South Commandery Princess raised their wine glasses at the same time with smiles on their faces.
Seeing this, Xiaohan was furious. The jealousy in his heart was even stronger. He quickly said, "You can't do this! The three princesses are of great status. How can you drink with a stranger so casually? It's beneath your dignity. "
Hearing this, Qin Ji was furious. His calm eyes suddenly became fierce. He said in a deep voice, "Xiaohan, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the friends of my Qin Ji do not have enough status to drink with the three princesses? "
