"The Emperor's grand display today makes me feel uneasy. I'm afraid I'll make the slightest mistake and be punished!"

The emperor obviously respected the old man in front of him very much. How could he blame the old man?

The emperor immediately added, "Mr. Xu, your words are truly humiliating. You've traveled all the way from Canglie and it must have been exhausting. I have already arranged a palace for you within the palace. Mr. Xu, if you wish, you may stay here and come and go as you please!"

The Mr. Xu in front of me is absolutely unique in the world in speaking so politely!

"This really embarrasses me!"

As he spoke, he sat down to the side without any restraint, and then swept his eyes over the people sitting below. Many of them were ministers, middle-aged or older, and they were all staring at him. Old Xu was not embarrassed, but just laughed and stroked his beard.

"I wonder who this Xianchang current crown prince is?"

The emperor immediately looked at Shao Lecheng. Shao Lecheng was obviously distracted at this time. He did not react at all when he was mentioned. It was Duan Gouqiong who pushed him that made him react.

"Father?"

"Is this the current crown prince?"

Old Xu's eyes looked back and forth at Shao Lecheng. The emperor, who was sitting beside him, asked, "Old Xu, what do you think of my son?"

Shao Lecheng was wearing an apricot-yellow four-clawed python robe. He had a feminine appearance. Although he was handsome, he lacked some masculinity.

Old Xu stroked his beard and just looked at Shao Lecheng with a smile without saying a word.

Shao Lecheng was stared at by him, and his heart was inexplicably uneasy: "Old man, just say whatever you want to say, I can bear it!"

Does this sound a bit childish?

Mr. Xu's face, which was originally smiling, became even more cheerful.

"You speak so readily, Prince. I believe you are a blessed man!"

These words made the emperor's eyes flicker. Is he simply blessed?

He obviously doesn't want to be blessed, but wants to achieve great things!

But he couldn't say it directly to his face, so he just coughed awkwardly: "Mr. Xu, I remember that you like drinking the most, so I asked the palace servants to collect a lot of thirty-year-old wine, come and have a taste!"

Afterwards, the palace servant came forward to pour wine for Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu did not refuse and watched the palace servant fill the wine glass in front of him. Finally, the queen looked at Jing Yuchen beside her and asked tentatively: "I wonder, Mr. Xu, what do you think of the prince?"

Old Xu's gaze immediately shifted over. Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan were still making small movements, but they immediately restrained themselves when they were stared at like that.

Just now Jing Yuchen said that his back was a little itchy, so Ni Yueshan naturally helped Jing Yuchen scratch it, but in this situation, how could he do that?

Ni Yueshan quickly withdrew his hand, and like Jing Yuchen, their expressions became serious.

The two of them sat upright, allowing the expert, Old Xu, to look them over. Finally, Old Xu smiled and said, "This prince has a handsome face and a dignified appearance. He is truly remarkable!"

This...

Of course it's a compliment, but who knows where the good part is?

Ni Yueshan was embarrassed, but Jing Yuchen didn't care.

Only the Queen and the Emperor had all kinds of thoughts running through their minds, wondering what was so good about it?

Amidst the two men's puzzled gazes, the Queen couldn't help but ask, "Old Xu, why don't you explain it more clearly? For example, will this child face any calamity in his life? How can he avoid it? And is there any way to heal his legs?"

The queen was anxious inside, but for the sake of face, she had to remain calm and graceful.

Old Xu's gaze fell back again, a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Queen, everything will eventually be alright!"

So why bother?

It was as if nothing had been said. The queen felt extremely disappointed, but she couldn't ask more questions in a hurry, so she kept her mouth shut in frustration.

The emperor smiled and raised the wine glass in front of him, "Mr. Xu, come here, I toast you!"

The entire banquet was basically spent with the Queen and the Emperor exchanging pleasantries, while Ni Yueshan and the others had completely lost interest. Duan Gouqiong, who was sitting at the banquet opposite, kept anxiously winking at Ni Yueshan.

Maybe he was worried about why Ni Yueshan didn't speak up and let this expert he had been waiting for take a look at Jing Yuchen's legs?

Ni Yueshan shook his head at Duan Gouqiong. Duan Gouqiong finally spoke when the banquet was about to end: "Father, Mother, I have something I want to discuss with this master!"

She stood up, wearing an apricot-yellow dress. Duan Gouqiong, who already had a noble temperament, now gave people an even more noble feeling.

She stood in the palace, staring straight at Mr. Xu, without a trace of awe, only calmness.

"Master, how are your medical skills? Do you have any good medicine hanging on your tree branches? Can you heal our prince's leg?"

The Queen had been waiting for the banquet to end so that she could have a good talk with Mr. Xu about the matter of Jing Yuchen's legs. Now that Duan Gouqiong had spoken out, she began to look at Duan Gouqiong with even more favor.

She coughed lightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Xu, if you can heal him easily, Prince Chen, Mr. Xu, I believe the emperor will give you any reward you want!"

The queen shook the emperor's arm, waiting for him to express his opinion.

The emperor's eyes sank slightly before he spoke: "Well, the queen is absolutely right! Mr. Xu, could you please help me?"

Mr. Xu's eyes fell on Jing Yuchen who was not far away, and then he asked with a smile: "Young man, would you like me to see your legs?"
