by Corinne 17:30,Jan 18,2024


Longevity Palace.

It's still a little early for the dinner to start.

However, many people were already waiting outside the palace.

This was a banquet set by Emperor Swift Wen for the reception of the Beihuan delegation. It was a time to demonstrate the national character of the Qian Dynasty, and no one dared to be late.

As expected by Odelia Yule, in addition to the emperor's relatives, all those who came were important officials of the court.

Courtiers below the third rank are basically not eligible to participate.

"Sixth brother, what brought you here today?"

"I thought my sixth brother was pretending to be sick again!"

"Is this Brother Six? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"How old are you? Don't say you haven't seen him before. We haven't seen your sixth brother very often. He is even harder to see than a woman in a boudoir..."

With the arrival of Adagio Swift and Odelia Yule, all the princes and princesses began to make fun of him. Even the thirteen-year-old Eighth Prince joined the others in making fun of him.

Facing the cynicism of everyone, Odelia Yule felt extremely aggrieved, but Adagio Swift was extremely calm, with no trace of emotion on his face.

"Sixth brother, you are talking!"

The fifth prince , Neville Swift, looked at Adagio Swift with a joking face, "I heard that you spoke very eloquently in the court a few days ago. Why didn't you speak again today?"

"That's right, Brother Six!"

The eighth prince smiled with contempt: "You don't want to introduce your sixth prince's concubine to us? Isn't that not good?"

The second prince patted the eighth prince on the shoulder, "Don't embarrass your sixth brother. It's not like you don't know what's wrong with him. When there are more people here, he won't dare to speak..."

Odelia Yule couldn't listen anymore and quickly pulled Adagio Swift gently.

You loser, you should say something!

They are princes, and so are you!

If you can't afford it, why don't you dare to say a word?

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Adagio Swift looked at the second prince timidly, "Second brother, I... I want to tell you something."

"Say it!"

The second prince joked: "A man, if you have anything to say, just tell me! You are now a General Fierce Tiger! Don't be coy!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the second prince say Adagio Swift's title of "General Fierce Tiger".

He should not be called General Fierce Tiger.

It should be called "Send to Death General"!

"oh oh."

Adagio Swift nodded and said tentatively: "Second brother, lend me some silver!"

"ah?"

The second prince was stunned, and everyone's laughter stopped abruptly.

Borrow some silver?

This loser, the first thing he said was to borrow money?

"Second brother, lend me some silver!"

Adagio Swift"plucked up the courage" and spoke again.

The second prince's face darkened, "Sixth brother, why did you ask me to borrow some silver?"

"The expenses in the house are too high."

Adagio Swift pretended to be pitiful: "In a few days, Odelia and I will get married again. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is helping to organize it, I am really short of money. I almost don't even have the money to watch the reward. Brother, just lend me some silver!"

"Sixth Prince, this is your fault!"

The second prince was unhappy: "Did I hear that when you moved into your new residence a few days ago, you received a lot of gifts, and now you have no money?"

Adagio Swift shook his head and said bitterly: "These are the wishes of the ministers and brothers. How can I sell them for silver? If word spreads, will it..."

"Why can't I sell it?" The second prince bulged his eyes, "When I am short of silver sometimes, I will sell all the things my father has given me! If I sell it, you can sell it boldly!"

Listening to the second prince's words, Adagio Swift couldn't help laughing in his heart.

This is what I've been waiting for!

This is what you asked me to sell!

Whoever dares to say that he sold those things to save money for rebellion in the future, I will let him find you!

Adagio Swift laughed in his heart, but still looked embarrassed, "Isn't this not good? Second brother, you should lend me some silver. I will return it to you after the wedding."

The second prince pointed to the other princes and princesses, "Anyway, I don't have any silver to lend you. You can ask them if anyone is willing to lend you some silver."

After saying that, the second prince immediately ran away, fearing that he would be pestered by the plague god to borrow some silver.

Adagio Swift raised his eyes and looked at the other princes and princesses with a "sad look" on his face.

Facing Adagio Swift's gaze, everyone seemed to have seen the God of Plague, and hurriedly left, lest they be pestered by the God of Plague to borrow money.

In an instant, all the people surrounding them ran away.

Without this group of fools, Adagio Swift suddenly felt that the air around him was much fresher.

"Isn't it a shame?"

Odelia Yule was very angry and said angrily: "You know they won't lend you any silver, but you still have the nerve to ask? I'm embarrassed for you!"

"Isn't there nothing I can do?"Adagio Swift sniffed and his eyes fell on Odelia Yule again, "How about you lend me some..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Odelia Yule cut off Adagio Swift's thoughts and glanced away.

If possible, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

At this moment, Harry Swift arrived surrounded by a group of people.

The three princes and their party are now the most powerful in the court.

As soon as Harry Swift arrived, he became the focus of the scene.

Harry Swift saw Adagio Swift and Odelia Yule standing alone at a glance.

The moment he saw Adagio Swift, a sharp light flashed in Harry Swift eyes, and he walked slowly towards Adagio Swift.

"Sixth brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much better!"

Harry Swift looked at Adagio Swift with a non-smiling smile and said.

"Isn't this thanks to Third Brother?"

Adagio Swift changed his previous cowardly attitude and grinned: "Third brother, does your lower body still hurt?"

Does it still hurt down there?

Harry Swift face was severely twitched, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

After a few days of rest, he no longer had any pain down there.

But as soon as Adagio Swift said these words, he felt a dull pain down there.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how brave you are!"

Harry Swift stared at Adagio Swift with cold eyes, then leaned into Adagio Swift ear and whispered viciously: "Don't worry, I will personally send you on your way!"

"Third brother, you want to slander me and plot rebellion again, right?"

Adagio Swift suddenly raised his voice, "I won't bother Third Brother anymore with this matter. I'll go back to Shuobei and tell my father that I'm going to Shuobei to raise an army to rebel. Please ask Father to give me a glass of poisonous wine! I don't need to go to Shuobei to die." As long as I don’t die in your hands, that’s fine.”

Listening to Adagio Swift's words, Harry Swift face turned green.

He never expected that this wimp would actually scream in front of everyone.

The next moment, everyone outside the Longevity Palace looked over.

No one cared what Adagio Swift said about going to Shuobei to raise troops to rebel, they all thought he was angry.

Rebellion, what does this coward want to rebel against?

Let alone give him 3,000 soldiers and horses, even if you give him 30,000 troops, he will not be able to rebel!

Everyone's focus was on Harry Swift words that he wanted to kill Adagio Swift with his own hands.

Especially the adult princes and their henchmen, all of them were extremely excited.

Harry Swift said in public that he wanted to kill Adagio Swift. This matter can be used to make a fuss!

Harry Swift suddenly became excited and shouted angrily: "Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense! When did I say I would kill you?"

Adagio Swift hummed, "Didn't you just say that you would personally send me on my way!"

"You misunderstood!"Harry Swift felt guilty and laughed dryly: "I mean, when I personally send you off from the imperial city to Shuobei, the third brother wants to see you off personally, not to kill you!"

"Third brother, I'm useless, but I'm not stupid!"

Adagio Swift snorted and said firmly: "I kicked your lifeblood, and you will kindly send me away from the imperial city? You must want to kill me with your own hands so that you can avenge me for kicking you!"

"Ahem...Sixth brother, you can't say this nonsense!"

The third prince was so angry that he quickly said with a smile: "It was third brother's fault for what happened before. If you kick me, we will be even! Let's turn our hostility into friendship from now on, okay?"

"Really?"

Adagio Swift asked with an "innocent" look.

"real!"

The third prince nodded: "Why would third brother care about such a trivial matter?"

Adagio Swift was dubious, and looked at the third prince eagerly, "If the third brother lends me some silver, I believe that the third brother really wants to turn the war with me into friendship..."
