Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming's trespassing into the imperial palace could be a major or minor matter.

Information spread quickly within the palace.

Just after Qin Ming entered the palace.

Eunuch Wang Bao received the news and quickly entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This is where Concubine Xiao Shufei prepared before attending the banquet.

At this moment, she was dressing and making up with the help of several maids, preparing to attend the banquet tonight with Emperor Qian.

"Your Majesty, Qin Ming is also coming to the banquet."

"This kid is really haunting!"

Concubine Xiao Shu frowned slightly.

She had heard about Qin Ming's troubles in the past few days.

After learning that Qin Ming had taken over the Wuwei Camp, she became alert.

"Notify Zhang Ming and don't let Qin Ming in."

"Yes!"

Zhang Ming is the captain of the palace guards and is in charge of many people.

Since he stayed in the palace all year round, he naturally had to find some mountain to rely on.

The person he looked for as his backer was Concubine Xiao Shufei.

He has gained a lot of benefits from working for Concubine Xiao Shufei over the years.

After Concubine Xiao Shufei's order was issued.

Qin Ming was soon stopped under the palace wall.

"Your Highness, please stay!"

Zhang Ming appeared in front of Qin Ming's carriage.

"Zhang Ming?"

Chang Baishan frowned slightly, Zhang Ming used to be his subordinate.

But later, when she went to help Concubine Xiao Shufei, she gradually became detached from him.

"General Chang, long time no see."

Zhang Ming bowed slightly and clasped his hands. This behavior no longer showed any respect for Chang Baishan.

Looking at this subordinate who was drifting further and further away from him, Chang Baishan said coldly:

"We are here to attend the banquet, why are you stopping the car?"

"The banquet has fixed locations, just those few tables. Have you received an invitation?"

"Your Highness negotiated this trade deal with the Nanyang Merchants. It's only right that Your Highness be allowed in."

Chang Baishan argued with reason.

Zhang Ming, however, was full of disdain and said lightly:

"Everyone knows that His Highness has left the court, yet you still have the audacity to come back and attend the banquet at this time? Aren't you afraid of what others will gossip about?"

"presumptuous!"

Chang Baishan roared angrily and was about to rush down to hit him.

But the surrounding soldiers had already rushed up and surrounded Qin Ming's carriage.

Zhang Ming stood in the crowd and spoke condescendingly:

"General Chang, you and His Highness are both respectable people, and I don't want to make things too embarrassing."

"You two can go on your own. I'll just pretend you've never been here, okay?"

Changbaishan was surrounded. Facing the crowd that was staring at him eagerly, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Zhang Ming, you are such an ungrateful person!"

"It's just that each of us serves his own master. It's very petty of you to say that."

Zhang Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Instead, he lectured Chang Baishan with a sarcastic look on his face.

Chang Baishan was extremely angry, but at this time there were dozens of armored guards standing beside him.

I couldn't move for a moment.

"Zhang Ming, you are such a good dog. Concubine Xiao Shu has given you a lot of benefits, right?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the carriage.

Qin Ming lifted the car curtain and jumped out.

Zhang Ming's face turned pale and blue as he was scolded in front of so many of his subordinates.

The atmosphere around them fell to freezing point.

"Your Highness, we are only following orders to maintain peace in the palace."

Zhang Ming spoke with gritted teeth, already thinking about how to mock Qin Ming after expelling him.

"Following orders?"

Qin Ming raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I insist on going in today, what do you think?"

"If you want to make trouble to His Majesty, Zhang Ming has no other skills, so I will accompany you."

"go!"

Qin Ming waved his hand and continued walking towards the interior of the palace with Chang Baishan.

This provocative look clearly showed that he was going to cause trouble with Zhang Ming in the palace.

Zhang Ming snorted coldly, secretly laughing at Qin Ming for not understanding the situation.

Everyone knew very well what Emperor Qian's attitude towards Qin Ming was.

How dare he even bring this up with Emperor Qian?

As long as it passes, it will not just be Zhang Ming and Emperor Qian.

Concubine Xiao Shufei was also there.

He will definitely suffer the consequences!

"General, let's..."

Several men came up hesitantly and asked Zhang Ming whether he wanted to take action.

Zhang Ming waved his hand and said:

"Alright, don't worry about it. Since he wants to make a scene, let's just join him in making a scene. It's best to make it bigger!"

In this way, Qin Ming, under Zhang Ming's "escort", quickly arrived outside the hall.

Concubine Xiao Shufei, Emperor Qian and a group of officials had been waiting here for the Nanyang caravan to enter.

But before the Nanyang merchant caravan arrived, Qin Ming was seen.

Emperor Qian frowned.

"Who asked him to come here?"

Chen Shimao, Qian Cai and others were also a little surprised.

Concubine Xiao Shu stared at Zhang Ming with a bad look, as if blaming him for his poor performance.

Zhang Ming quickly stepped forward and whispered:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted on coming in. I have tried to stop him repeatedly, but I couldn't..."

Concubine Xiao Shufei raised her eyebrows, as if she had noticed Zhang Ming's intention.

He immediately winked at the Grand Master Qiu Bingyun.

Qiu Bingyun stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, I do not think it is appropriate for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin to attend this banquet."

Emperor Qian also thought so.

"Qin Ming, what are you doing here?"

All the ministers looked at Qin Ming curiously, wanting to hear what he would say.

Qin Ming said calmly:

"Father, I was the one who negotiated the deal for the Nanyang merchant caravan. Why is it that during the banquet, no one called me over?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces looked extremely strange.

Do I need to say this explicitly?

Qin Ming is no longer the crown prince, and the affairs of the Nanyang caravan have already brought him enough benefits.

Logically speaking, the court and he owed each other nothing.

Appearing here at this moment, is he trying to continue to take credit?

That was too ungraceful of a thing to do.

Concubine Xiao Shufei said:

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin is joking. Today the imperial court is hosting a banquet for the Nanyang merchant caravan and related officials."

"You are about to go to Lingnan to guard the border. You have nothing to do with this matter. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for you to attend the banquet."

Qin Ming nodded.

"You're right, I'm not here for the court this time."

"what?"

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

At this time, hundreds of representatives from the Nanyang merchant caravan had arrived here.

They said:

"Your Majesty of Daqian, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is here with us at our invitation."

"Today, we can ask the King of Qin to help us with the poetry and couplets. That should be okay, right?"

……

Emperor Qian and Concubine Xiao Shufei were both silent.

Zhang Ming, who was just shouting and making a fuss in front of Emperor Qian, now looked extremely ugly.

He thought of many possibilities.

However, no one expected that Qin Ming would come in today on behalf of the Nanyang Merchant Caravan.

Actually this is normal.

The people of the Nanyang merchant caravan themselves had many grievances against the Daqian court.

Qin Ming has a very high prestige among them.

It was a good opportunity to use Qin Ming to express their dissatisfaction with this trade.

"Okay, okay... Since this is a seat for the Nanyang Merchants, please take a seat."

Emperor Qian looked at Qin Ming coldly, his eyes filled with anger.

Even if Qin Ming took advantage of the seat of the Nanyang Merchant Caravan today, he had to enter the hall.

It's obvious that there is an ulterior motive.

Many officials at the scene had already smelled an unusual odor.

It seems like today's banquet is going to be noisy again...
