The rise of the prince

Chapter 372 The Difficult Father-in-Law
Li Xingzhou was only halfway there, far away from Ximen, and someone came to report that the Wang family and his wife had gone to the prime minister's residence.

He had no choice but to take Gillian to turn the horse's head and go to Xiangfu. Unlike He Qian, Gillian can ride a horse, but she can't ride a fast horse, so she and Li Xingzhou rode Meixue together.

This kind of ostentation naturally attracted everyone to point and point, Li Xingzhou didn't care, but Gillian blushed.

When their brigade arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were still a bunch of salute items outside the door, and the servants were moving to the Wang Mansion. It seemed that his father-in-law and mother-in-law planned to live in the mansion for a while.

There were also many spectators around, and a nurse who was familiar with the road came forward and announced his name, and everyone hurriedly made way to kneel down.

Li Xingzhou asked them to get up, and led Gillian into the Prime Minister's mansion through many curious eyes. The nurses were all waiting outside the door.

There were people coming and going in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was extremely lively. Many of the servants knew him. When they saw him, they saw the prince one after another.

Now the story of Pingnan Wang's two mansions has been embellished and eulogized by various storytellers and singers, and almost everyone knows it.

Gillian took his hand and walked through the atrium where people were coming and going, and arrived at the main hall with six doors at the back, where many people were already gathered.

After a while, the maid waiting at the door saw them and hurried in to report: "Master, King Pingnan and the young lady are here." They also heard voices from a long distance away.

When Li Xingzhou stepped forward, he saw that De Gong led everyone out, and also brought many family members to bow their waists to salute: "I have seen King Pingnan!"

He was a little confused. Logically speaking, Duke De really needed to salute him. Although he was not as high-ranking as Duke De, he was a prince. Salute him.
Degong frowned, Li Xingzhou hurriedly said: "Excuse me, everyone."

De Gongcai led the crowd to stand up, and then welcomed them into the hall.

After taking his seat, De Gong welcomed Li Xingzhou to the upper seat, and sat beside him. There were more than a dozen luxuriously dressed men and women sitting below him, some middle-aged and some teenagers, but most of them did not dare to look directly at him.

As soon as he came in, the lively voices of the crowd became much quieter.

Degong asked people to serve tea, but Li Xingzhou looked around and didn't know who Gillian's parents were, and it was too impolite to ask their names directly. Middle-aged men and women bowed in front of them: "The unfilial daughter has seen her father and mother."

Li Xingzhou heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and followed him. Seeing him get up, everyone fell silent. He accompanied Gillian and said, "My son-in-law has seen his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

A-Jiao's father was smiling when he saw his daughter, but now he stopped laughing, stood up expressionlessly and bowed back, saying: "Your Majesty has met Prince Pingnan."

Li Xingzhou's words were blocked in his throat. Gillian's father only mentioned his status as a prince, not his son-in-law. He was deliberately excluding him from his family. This was a subtle rejection of him.
He could only hastily and helplessly said: "Master Wang, excuse me."

Then he said a few more words to Wang Tong, all of them were awkward chats, the so-called non-speculative words were more than half a sentence, probably so.After all, I can only say that the road is hard, and if there is time to sit in the palace and other unnutritious things, Wang Tong's reaction is lukewarm, it is really embarrassing and embarrassing.

Why does he now understand that Degong wanted to bring his family to salute him at the beginning, probably because he understood that his son didn't want to see him, and he was afraid that he would be too lazy to talk to him later, so he worshiped first when he entered the hall, reminding Wang Tong of his identity as the current prince , Emperor grandson.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that his father-in-law Wang Tong won't bother to talk to him.
Li Xingzhou also wondered, what the hell, how did he provoke his father-in-law, whom he had never seen before?
On the contrary, the mother-in-law and other relatives responded enthusiastically and treated him very well. The mother-in-law greeted him with compliments and compliments. Many relatives came forward to salute him one by one, especially a few men and women of the younger generation. After all, he is now a legendary hero.

He was naturally happy to see him being treated like this by these juniors, but he slowly realized, no, he is also a junior
Afterwards, everyone had a reunion dinner, and they used the hot pot table that De Gong had bought from the palace. The garden-shaped hot pot table, coupled with the crisp autumn air, was a good weather for eating hot pot.

Everyone at the banquet was very lively, but Wang Tong still treated him lukewarm. Although he toasted, Wang Tong called him the prince from the beginning to the end.

In short, this estrangement cannot be eliminated, because Wang Tong did it on purpose.

After dinner and dinner, Degong became very popular with poetry, so he issued a drinking order for the juniors to pick up. The relatives and children in the prime minister's mansion are naturally well-educated, and drinking orders are not a problem, but Li Xingzhou can't!
He hastily excused himself to go to the toilet and escaped, and after a short walk, De Gong also attended, just happened to meet him, and just shook his head and said: "Your father-in-law is academically angry and has a stubborn temper, don't worry about it."

Li Xingzhou dared to say anything to Degong, complained: "But I didn't provoke him."

"Hmph, he, after hearing what happened to you before, he admits to death, and he can't change it if he decides." De Gong said while saying: "You just pretend that he is not here, the matter between you and Gillian is decided by the old man. , has nothing to do with him, seeing him is just a matter of etiquette."

Li Xingzhou could only nod.

After the banquet, it was almost dusk, and because of the awkward atmosphere with his father-in-law, Li Xingzhou couldn't stay longer, so he said goodbye.

Gillian actually saw the clues, and she looked worried on the road.

Li Xingzhou took her little hand and hugged her. He knew that A-Jiao was in a dilemma, one was his father and the other was his husband, "Okay, little lady, don't worry, my husband will take care of it."

Gillian's eyes were red, and she leaned her little head into his arms.

Singer Wan Yanying touched the edge of the sword, and looked at the gifts piled up in a corner of the posthouse room with a puzzled expression.

For some reason, people started to bring things to them recently. She sent Shu Hu to ask them, and those who brought things were all Jing Guo officials.

It had never happened before, when they arrived, almost no one cared about them, except Mr. Chen Yu, and King Pingnan, no one paid any attention to them at all.Speaking of King Pingnan, she couldn't help but think of that young weirdo and the peerless sword he presented as a gift.

The edge of this sword cuts firewood without curling it, and with a light flick, one can hear the long sword chant, melodious and endless, like the cry of a dragon. Even Xia Guo's sword is not as good as it should be. Such a sword is hard to find. He gave it to himself casually.

This is a strange person. Didn't he say that Han people are all stingy?

In the past few days, she often took Shuhu out to see the customs of the capital, but there were still people whispering and watching, which made her very unhappy.

There were also people who were kind, took the initiative to lead her way, acted as a guide for her, and some people gave her some snacks, or exquisite gadgets. Maybe they didn't have any malicious intentions, and they were just curious.

But the feeling of being seen as a monkey is still unpleasant!
Wherever she went, teahouses and restaurants, there were people talking about the Pingnan King's establishment of the two mansions, but one by one was more exaggerated than the other, what kind of thunder was happening, and the god of thunder came to the world. the realm of man, etc.
As soon as you hear it, you know it's not true.

But after hearing a lot of people from all walks of life, traffickers, pawns, and all kinds of teachings, she gradually felt that this matter was not groundless, and there was indeed a rebellion in the south of Jingguo, which was also put down by King Pingnan. Just spread it outside the customs.

The matter should not be false, so what kind of person is Pingnan Wang?Wanyan Yingge became more and more confused.
