Wen Jiu is different now than before. After returning from the Zhou Kingdom, he is essentially just an unpopular prince.

However, even the King of Zhou believed that he had the help of the goddess, and the people of Chu Wenguo also knew this news to some extent. Moreover, Wen Jiu frequently took out food seeds that had never been seen before or objects that could not be made by human power in Zhou, which further increased the credibility of his having the help of the goddess.

In order to get Chu Wenguo back smoothly, the whole court was almost united and tried every possible means. Now that he is back, he is standing here.

"Thirteenth Prince, you have suffered a lot over the years." An official came over and bowed respectfully to Wen Jiu with a sincere look on his face.

"Who is this?" Wen Jiu's eyes fell on the prince, obviously hoping that the prince could clear up his confusion.

The prince looked at the visitor and introduced him to Wen Jiu with a smile: "This is the Director of the Imperial College, Lord Yan Huiyan."

"Oh, I'm not good at studying, and I feel like I'm being watched when I see this adult." Wen Jiu hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I'm really sorry, when I was in Zhou Kingdom... I was naughty, so when I see Adult Yan, I feel like I'm back to the time when I was punished."

Yan Hui was a little embarrassed. He had wanted to compliment Wen Jiu and then start asking about the goddess's blessing, but he had never expected Wen Jiu to say that. This made him smile awkwardly and say a few casual words before stepping away.

"I've been out for so long, and I'm hungry too. Your Highness, where do you think I should sit? I'll go sit down and eat something first. You know, I'm still growing, so it's inevitable that I'll get hungry quickly if I eat a lot."

After Wen Jiu finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is still growing at this age. Are you hungry? Why don't we eat something together first? It looks like the banquet will take a while to start."

The prince smiled awkwardly: "Thirteenth brother is really good at joking. I am not hungry. Thirteenth brother's place is over here." Then he motioned Wen Jiu to follow him.

Wen Jiu turned his head and looked at King Gu: "Twelfth Brother, I'm going to eat for a while, do you want to sit with me?"

King Gu said with a fake smile: "No, since Thirteenth Brother is hungry, go eat some cakes first."

"What about you? Fourteenth sister?"

"I'm not hungry yet." Wen Ying could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

"Oh, Your Highness, I just remembered that you calling me brother doesn't seem right! You are Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the heir to the throne, the future emperor, and I am just a subject. Just call me by my name. Otherwise, I'm afraid that others will think I am causing trouble as soon as I return."

Wen Jiu followed behind the prince, and his little mouth kept chattering without anyone noticing.

Qiao Shinian noticed that the prince's hands were clenched into fists under his sleeves, and he seemed to have the urge to punch Wen Jiu at any time.

"Thirteenth brother, eat first. I'll ask the palace maid to bring some more food for you." The prince said with a smile. After he finished speaking, he looked at Qiao Shinian, then at the seat next to Wen Jiu, and said with a smile, "Miss, please sit down too."

Qiao Shinian bowed.

Wen Jiu grabbed the prince and said sincerely, "The palace servants came as soon as they called, why does Your Highness need to go and give orders in person? Let's talk again? I haven't seen my family for a long time. I feel particularly relieved when I come back.

I just chatted with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and found that you are my confidant. Please sit down and I will tell you about my interesting experience in Zhou State... Once I threatened the king of Zhou State with my life..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Thirteenth Brother. Since you are hungry, it would be safer for me to give some instructions. You can sit for a while." The prince pulled back the sleeve from Wen Jiu's hand, said with a smile, and then walked away without looking back.

Qiao Shinian looked at Wen Jiu's exaggerated performance and asked, "What are you doing? How did you offend three people at once? Oh no, four. What's that Imperial College? They were looking at you with such passion."

Wen Jiu picked up the cake on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, still smiling: "Sister, I'm just establishing my image! Besides, I'm leaving the capital soon, why would I get involved with them?"

Qiao Shinian expressed doubt about Wen Jiu's words. Could he really leave the capital so smoothly?

Qiao Shinian felt a little uncomfortable with Mo Cheng's burning gaze. She secretly glanced in Mo Cheng's direction and said, "That guy is still watching."

"Tsk tsk, your mental quality is really poor!" Wen Jiu pinched a piece of cake and handed it to Qiao Shinian's mouth: "It tastes okay."

"Oh." Qiao Shinian opened his mouth.

When Emperor Gao Wen appeared

When everyone knelt down, Qiao Shinian felt dazed. The scene from that year seemed to be happening again now.

At that time, she didn't know that Wen Jiu was going to Zhou State as a hostage. She just thought that Wen Jiu had returned home and her journey to another world was about to end.

"Wen Jiu, it seems like we are finally getting our due." Qiao Shinian pulled Wen Jiu's clothes and said in a low voice.

"Well, we'll be free once we get to my fiefdom." Wen Jiu nodded in response.

Halfway through the banquet, Emperor Gao Wen frequently looked at Wen Jiu, while Wen Jiu and Qiao Shinian were talking frequently.

The scene is a bit like a teacher giving a speech and there are two disobedient students talking below. When the teacher calls for answers, the students can only say a few perfunctory words.

"If Emperor Zhou knew that I had deceived him, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would not be able to sleep for several nights." Wen Jiu picked up a glass of wine and became more and more happy as he talked about the side dishes on the table.

Qiao Shinian looked at the empty plate in front of Wen Jiu, a little speechless: "No, you eat so much, everyone is looking at you, look, the palace maids and eunuchs have been serving you food."

"Oh, sister, you're right. You should eat more when you are growing. Look, I'm in a period of complete starvation now. In two years, I will be grown up." Wen Jiu patted Qiao Shinian's hand, signaling her not to worry.

"Wen Jiu, I see you've been eating all the time, what's wrong? Are you hungry?"

Emperor Gao Wen seemed to have finally reached his limit of patience, and he opened his mouth to ask.

Wen Jiu quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up and replied with a smile: "In reply to your father's words, I just returned to Chu Wen, and I was eating the same food as your father again. I was so happy that I couldn't help but keep eating and was happy all the time."

After hearing Jiu's words, many people present covered their mouths and laughed.

Mo Cheng was also somewhat suspicious of Wen Jiu's foolish look. Is this person really Wen Jiu?

When he was in the Zhou Palace, especially the Wen Jiu he had seen in the past year was completely different from the current one. Ever since Wen Jiu saw the goddess less and less frequently and took less and less things, Emperor Zhou's attitude towards Wen Jiu changed again.

Now that I think about it, I must have been deceived by Wen Jiu. The God's gift once every three months is still there, but Wen Jiu started planning very early on, making the date of the God's gift become erratic, and in the end, I almost never saw the God's gift.

When Emperor Gao Wen heard what Wen Jiu said, he frowned and asked, "Do you still look like a prince?"

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying. I am just growing, and I ate more when I was hungry. I don't understand what you are saying, Your Majesty. Please explain it to me." Wen Jiu bowed, looking for an explanation.

The atmosphere was extremely silent and no one dared to make any sound.
