Chapter 1558 Four Girls' Square
Not all princes will keep sending invitations. After some princes found out that Zhou Fan was just a mess and refused many princes, these princes simply gave up and stopped trying to win over Zhou Fan.
Of course, there are also princes who are full of confidence and have not given up.
Of course, Zhou Fan would not waste time at the banquet for those who gave up. He paid attention to the list of princes who gave up and found that the forty-fifth prince among the famous princes mentioned by Chen Zheng had given up.
This made him feel a little regretful. He originally thought that he had already gone to see the princes, and it was quite interesting to see the princes mentioned by Chen Zheng. By the way, he could observe who was the most likely to win.
Of course, even if he observed it, he did not intend to participate in the battle for the throne.
With his strength and potential, he maintains an unhelpful attitude, so no matter which prince becomes an emperor, he will not treat him badly... Of course, the seventeenth prince is now excluded.
...
In Siguniangfang, every morning when the sky was still gray, countless people came out of the streets and alleys and rushed to work in Jingdu. There were only a few fields near Jingdu, and most people could only do some business or work as merchants.
The Sigami House is one of the poor houses, so this is even more so.
In the early morning, countless people rushed out like an appointment, forming an interesting crowd, bustling.
At a breakfast stall, he would always show up on time, buy some food, and then sit there and watch the crowd.
The owner of the breakfast stall has long been accustomed to it. In his opinion, the middle-aged man is just a weird person. He bought food but did not touch the water, as if he wanted to find someone in the crowd.
But there are so many people coming out of it every day. It is not easy to find someone from so many people.
Moreover, the shop owner felt that the middle-aged man was not looking for someone, but laughed while watching. He had been watching for a year.
The shop owner felt scared at first, and secretly reported it to the patrol constable. Later, the constable said that the identity of the man was not a problem, so he felt at ease.
Every time the crowd completely disperses, the middle-aged man will stand up and check in and leave.
Today was no exception, he left without saying a word.
But today there is a special place. The middle-aged man actually went into the Sigami House. In the past, he left.
The owner was surprised when he saw this, but he soon became busy again and didn't care about looking at the weird guy anymore.
The strange man in the eyes of the shop owner, the middle-aged man's spotless white boots stepped on the dirty and wet streets, and soon the black spots of water were stained with water marks. He just smiled and didn't care.
In the early morning, the Sigami House, the Sigami House where the crowds disperse, there is a rare peace.
Such a peaceful Sigami House will only last for a short time. After a while, it will become noisy again. The man goes out to work, but there are women who are elderly and children who are housekeepers, as well as small vendors who are marching around the streets.
"Your Highness." A short fat man was around the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. He was in a good mood. He was the forty-five prince and was called the prince who was most sympathetic to the people in the court.
"Ye Si." The forty-five prince said, "When those idiots in the court saw that I often came to the poor house, they said that I loved the people as much as my son. Are they right?"
"Your Highness, you call them idiots, of course they are wrong." Ye Si replied.
"Yes, how do they understand what I am thinking?" The Forty-five prince sighed: "I came here just to come, but I don't need to be so hypocritical?"
"If they don't come, they will never see it. In fact, there is no difference between them and these poor people who work hard day and night to seek food and clothing. They are all human beings and they are struggling to survive in the quagmire."
"It's all just some pitiful people." His voice was filled with compassion.
"They don't know that Your Highness can save them from water and fire. If they don't kneel in front of the hall and beg your Highness to save them, then they can only be pitiful people and are not qualified to be sheltered by Your Highness." Ye Si's face also showed sympathy.
"I am not fraternal, I only save those I think are worthy of saving." said the forty-five prince.
"Don't your Highness plan to give Zhou Fan a chance?" Ye Si asked.
"Ye Si, it's not that I don't give him a chance, but that he gave up on his own." The Forty-five Prince shook his head and said, "Since I first invited him and he didn't come, he wouldn't have a chance."
"If this is the case, why does Your Highness still send him invitations one after another?" Ye Si asked in confusion.
"You forgot again." The forty-five prince smiled and said, "I don't often tell you that we should be treasures that do not shine in the darkness, and wait for the moment when the light spreads out and dispels the darkness. Before that, we should hide in the darkness and not be discovered."
"My brothers sent him invitations, and of course I would like to send them to him. Now that someone doesn't send them, I will stop sending invitations naturally."
"Zhou Fan is now in the eye of a storm. Going up will only attract more attention and it will not be beneficial. Don't say that he didn't catch me if I gave him a chance, even if he caught me, I have to weigh the gains and losses."
"So that's it." Ye Si said: "What if Zhou Fan took the initiative to visit His Highness?"
"Of course I refuse his visit." The forty-fifth prince crossed a pothole on the road and smiled: "My brothers are too stupid, and they can only see the immediate interests. I don't know that Zhou Fan is probably just a bait."
"The father has not seen Zhou Fan for a long time, just to see if we princes have the ambition to usurp the throne."
"Your Highness." Ye Si hesitated and said, "Didn't the emperor always disdain to do such small actions?"
The forty-five prince stopped, and he looked in the direction of the Jinggong and was silent for a while and said, "He has never done such a temptation, but it does not mean that he will not do it."
"If you do it, it will be a trap, and it will cost a lot. Why should you jump into it in order to recruit Zhou Fan in the Immortal Realm?"
"What Your Highness said makes sense." Ye Si lowered his head slightly.
The forty-five prince turned around and said, "I never think that my opponent is just my brothers. My biggest opponent is always the father who will never leave the palace. I hope you will understand too."
Ye Si trembled slightly and said, "Yes, I will follow the teachings of Your Highness."
The forty-five prince ignored Ye Si. He just whispered to himself: "But no one knew what he was thinking, what he was going to do. The saint of the academy couldn't see through, and the old leader of the Great Buddha Temple didn't understand, and I didn't understand either."
"This is where he is scary, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable."
The two had already reached the end of the street. They seemed to be talking about such things on the street as if no one was around, but in fact, no one could even see them walking through the street, let alone hear them talking.
