Who asked him to cultivate immortality!

The second prince did not find the immortal grass that could prolong his life in the East China Sea.

However, this did not affect his plan.

If he could find the immortal grass in the East China Sea and prolong his father's life, his position in his father's heart would rise, and he might even surpass his elder brother and make him the crown prince.

If he could not find the immortal grass, it would not matter. His father could see his filial piety, which was also an advantage compared to his elder brother who did nothing.

And it was really dangerous to go to the East China Sea. The battle between the two immortals in the Dragon Palace would have killed him if he was slightly affected. After experiencing such a dangerous situation, it was impossible for his father to remain indifferent.

So it was not important whether he found the immortal grass or not. What was important was that he went to the East China Sea.

Despite this, after he came back, he waited for a year, and his father's body became thinner and thinner, but he still did not make a crown prince, which made him a little anxious.

It happened that Lu Yang came to the Imperial City at this time. Relying on his friendship in the East China Sea, he invited Lu Yang to his house to talk and exchange feelings, and asked Lu Yang to help him ascend the throne. It was all natural.

Few people know that the second prince is a thoughtful person.

…

"Well, the second son of the Jiang family wants to invite me over?" After receiving the invitation, the Immortal Fairy felt that the imperial city was really lively. She received invitations every day. In addition to the invitation from the second son of the Jiang family, there were also many invitations from literati and poets, all of which asked her to recite poems and write lyrics. She declined them all according to Lu Yang's wishes.

"Your Majesty, you must call the second prince." Lu Yang reminded her. If she called the second son of the Jiang family in front of the second prince, she would be embarrassed by the second prince.

"Oh, then okay." The Immortal Fairy was a qualified emperor who listened to advice and listened to whatever Lu Yang said.

"Then let's go to the second son of the Jiang family's home." The Immortal Fairy liked lively places. The invitation said that the second son of the Jiang family would set up a banquet to entertain Lu Yang.

"Let's call Old Meng again. He is more familiar with the affairs of the Imperial City. We won't be completely in the dark when we go to the second son of the Jiang family... the second prince's home." Lu Yang said, and almost called out the immortal fairy's name.

Meng Jingzhou frowned when he learned that the second prince was going to host a banquet for Lu Yang. According to his understanding of the second prince, this banquet might not be as simple as having a meal.

However, since the immortal wanted to go, he didn't dare to stop him. At most, if something happened, he would block it for the immortal.

This time, Meng Jingzhou did not bring Meng Jingyu with him. This occasion was not suitable for Meng Jingyu to follow.

The second prince's banquet was scheduled for three days later. Three days later, the immortal fairy took Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou to the banquet.

The second prince attached great importance to Lu Yang. On the day of the banquet, he personally greeted Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou at the door.

He saw the two people coming from afar, trotted over, with a warm but not excessive smile on his face, and said with a bow: "You two, it has been a year since we parted in the East China Sea. I miss you so much."

Meng Jingzhou had the same smile on his face and bowed in return: "Your Highness is polite."

"Please come in."

"Please."

The purpose of the second prince holding a banquet was to welcome Lu Yang. Since the key figures had arrived, the banquet began naturally.

Perhaps worried that the banquet was not lively enough, the second prince also invited many young masters. Lu Yang knew a few of them, but he had never seen most of them. This means that the young masters invited by the second prince were not all of the same age.

The three of them sat down, and the second prince took the initiative to say: "I have heard that Fellow Daoist Lu Yang has arrived in the Imperial City. Unfortunately, I have been busy with official duties and have no time to entertain Fellow Daoist Lu Yang. Today, I finally took some time to welcome Fellow Daoist Lu Yang. I hope you don't mind."

"Fellow Daoist Lu Yang has become very famous in the Imperial City. Not only did he defeat all the geniuses of the same age in the Imperial City, he also wrote a poem in the Lotus Tower, which attracted applause from the whole room. Even the great scholars of the Hanlin Academy praised your lyrics and praised your poem for its ability to enlighten people's minds and see their nature."

"Come, I will introduce these people to you."

"This is the grandson of the Minister of the Imperial Household, Hong Guanshan."

"This is the son of the Chief of the Grand Commandery, Kong De."

"This is..."

The second prince introduced them one by one. Hong Guanshan and others smiled proudly. Their identities were their pride.

The Immortal Fairy just nodded politely. She was not interested in the identities of these people, and she didn't know what the Minister of the Imperial Household was for.

Meng Jingzhou listened on the side, his expression changed slightly. The Immortal Fairy didn't understand what these people meant, but he did know.

These people were involved in all aspects of Daxia, including the army, finance, and security of the imperial city. If they could all be used by the second prince, they would be an extremely powerful force.

This was how many people supported Lu Yang behind him when the second prince introduced him.

The Immortal Fairy was a little impatient, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why do you always say who their father and grandfather are when you introduce them? Aren't they famous themselves?"

"Look, when I introduce myself, as long as I say I am Lu Yang, everyone knows me, and there is no need to say anything else."

As soon as these words came out, Hong Guanshan and others smiled stiffly, poking their sore spots.

Just one encounter made them feel guilty. This ability to see through everything was really terrifying. No wonder His Royal Highness the Second Prince tried so hard to win over Lu Yang!

"And what their identities are has nothing to do with me, right?" The Immortal Fairy asked puzzledly. She didn't care what these people were called, and she didn't care who their fathers and grandfathers were and what they did.

It would be better to finish the introduction quickly and start the banquet.

The second prince's heart moved. He didn't believe that Lu Yang couldn't understand his introduction. Lu Yang said that he didn't care about the identities of these people. Did he mean that he didn't want to participate in the competition for the throne?

Seeing this, the second prince simply stopped introducing the forces behind him and started the banquet according to Lu Yang's meaning.

The banquet process was normal, with dancers entertaining, toasts and drinking.

The dancers danced gracefully, but compared with Ye Mengyin, they were just a small witch compared to a big witch. Compared with the immortal fairy, they were not even worthy of carrying shoes. The immortal fairy had no interest in dancing.

"It's better to change to Zhu Tian."

The immortal fairy didn't like drinking very much. She remembered that the immortal of time had soaked a jar of immortal wine with her body. The wine was fragrant. The cultivators in the tribulation period would feel dizzy and dizzy after smelling it, as if they had entered the fairyland. At that time, the Qilin fairy and the Jiuchong fairy drank from the jar of wine and went crazy after drinking. It was quite indecent.

The Immortal Fairy felt that as the leader of the Ten Beauties of Ancient Times, she should maintain her status and not do such a cheap thing, so she had always been somewhat resistant to alcohol.

"By the way, Xiao Yangzi, do you want to see the scene of Qilin Fairy and Jiuchong Fairy going crazy when they were drunk? I still have a photo of them here."

Lu Yang hurriedly shook his head when he heard this. Anyone who saw this kind of thing would die. He still wanted to live two more years.

The Second Prince was drunk, and under the influence of the alcohol, he approached Lu Yang and complained bitterly.

"Daoyou Lu Yang, I am so sad."

"My father's time is coming, but the throne has not been decided yet. My eldest brother said that he has no intention of clinging to the throne, but there is no family affection in the royal family, who can say for sure."

"And the fourth and fifth brothers, they say they are not interested in the throne, but they are secretly prepared."

The second prince shook his head and sighed, revealing his true feelings: "The situation in the imperial city is unpredictable. Daoyou, you are an outsider and you see it most clearly. Who do you think will win the throne in the end?"

The people who were drinking and having fun heard the drunken words of the second prince, pretending to discuss, but in fact they were secretly observing Lu Yang's reaction.

His Highness was showing his cards under the influence of alcohol, wanting to know whether Lu Yang would join their camp.

Meng Jingzhou's expression changed slightly, and he also realized this. If there was a mistake in the answer, it might drag the Meng family and the Daodao Sect into the competition for the throne!

And the Meng family and the Daodao Sect have always been in a neutral position and do not participate in the competition for the throne!

This precedent cannot be set!

Lu Yang also realized this, and this was the purpose of the second prince asking him to come.

To force him to take sides!

To answer carefully, not to let the second prince catch the loophole.

Just as Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou were thinking about how to answer, they saw the Immortal Fairy asked with a surprised expression.

"So I have the final say on who can be the emperor?"

The second update will be at 11 o'clock
