“Da da!”
In the afternoon, Xiao Fan and Qin Xuan took a carriage to the palace.
Not long after the carriage entered the palace, Xiao Fan and Qin Xuan got off and walked to Renhe Hall where the royal family banquet was being held today.
"Why is Xiao Fan here at the royal family banquet?"
"Even if he has a demigod behind him, it's inappropriate for him to be an outsider attending the royal family banquet. Could the rumors about him and the prince be true?"
"Have you forgotten that Xiao Fan is the zither master? He should be here to play the zither."
…
Seeing Xiao Fan and Qin Xuan, some people in the royal family secretly discussed among themselves.
Not long after, Xiao Fan and Qin Xuan arrived at the gate of Renhe Hall.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
The eunuch's sharp and loud voice rang out.
Many people in Renhe Hall stood up to greet him when they heard the voice. Qin Xuan was going to ascend the throne tomorrow, and they dared not neglect him.
"No need to be so polite, everyone."
Qin Xuan waved his hand.
He still looked like the prince that everyone was familiar with.
Xiao Fan glanced around and saw that quite a few people had come today, including several princes such as King Xiaoyao. Most of the princesses had also come, and the princes, heirs, and dukes were all present as well.
——It is worth mentioning that the kings of different surnames in the Tianlong Empire can be granted the title of prince, but today, the king of different surnames like Prince Song did not come.
"Xiao Fan, you're not scared, are you?"
"The Qin Dynasty has a tradition of more than 4,000 years, and there are many people with royal blood. These are just those with stronger royal blood."
Qin Xuan sent a message to Xiao Fan.
There were already three or four hundred people in the Renhe Hall, young and old, men and women, and some older members of the royal family had not arrived yet.
"fine."
Xiao Fan said softly.
"Brother Crown Prince, we heard that Master Xiao is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. We would like to talk to him about poetry and music."
A beautiful girl stood up and spoke.
This girl is the daughter of the prince and Qin Xuan's cousin. There is nothing wrong with her calling Qin Xuan "Brother Prince".
"Xiao Fan, go chat with Princess Linglong and the others."
Qin Xuan glanced at Xiao Fan and said.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Fan was soon brought by Princess Linglong to a group of princesses. The royal family had good genes and they were all very beautiful.
Of course, compared to Qin Xuan, they are all far inferior.
"Mr. Xiao, I've thought of a good first line, but I haven't been able to come up with a suitable second line. Could you please help me think of one?"
"Mr. Xiao——"
The women all spoke up.
Xiao Fan is handsome and has become the Marquis of Wenchang at a young age. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a strong appeal to many young girls.
Some time ago, matchmakers went to the Prince's Mansion one after another. Some of the girls around Xiao Fan had their families invite matchmakers to go to the Prince's Mansion to propose marriages.
Xiao Fan has good conditions and has a demigod behind him, so many unmarried girls present are now ready to make a move.
"Yan'er, you come over too."
"It would be great if you could be with Xiao Fan."
Someone sent a message to urge his daughter.
"Father, I...I dare not."
"Silly girl, so many of them dare to do it, why wouldn't you dare? You'll regret it if you miss it."
"Father, I'll go over then."
"pay close attention!"
In a short period of time, more young girls gathered around Xiao Fan. Qin Xuan chatted with some of the royal elders, but she also paid attention to Xiao Fan's situation, feeling a little sad.
"Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen has arrived!"
"The ancestor is here!"
Not long after, a sound was heard outside the hall.
Everyone came to greet him.
Xiao Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Qin Zhentian didn't come over again, some of these girls might touch him.
"Everyone, today is a royal family gathering, so there's no need to be polite."
Qin Zhentian said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, although Xiao Fan is a zither sage, he is now the Marquis of Wenchang. Would it be inappropriate to ask him to play for us?"
An older member of the royal family stood up and said.
He seemed to be speaking for Xiao Fan, but in fact, he was questioning him, thinking that it was inappropriate for Xiao Fan to appear in such an occasion.
Qin Zhentian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Qin Xuan is a girl, and once her identity is exposed, there will definitely be a lot of opposition within the royal family, as the royal family is not a monolithic entity.
"Everyone, tomorrow is the day Xuan'er ascends the throne. I've gathered you all here today to thank you for your support."
"I hope Xuan'er ascends the throne, and everyone will continue to support her as always!"
"Secondly, I want to take this opportunity to announce something to everyone."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at Qin Zhentian.
Qin Zhentian looked at Qin Xuan and said, "I was plotted against in my early years and it was difficult for me to have children. I went through a lot of hardships to finally have a daughter like Xuan'er."
"ah?"
Many people in the hall were stunned.
There are rumors among the people that the prince is a girl, but many people in the royal family actually do not believe such rumors.
The Tianlong Empire has a population of three billion, and there are many rumors of all kinds every day, but they simply cannot believe them all.
"Your Majesty, is the Crown Prince a girl?"
The old man who just stood up to speak said hurriedly.
Qin Zhentian nodded slightly: "In order to stabilize the country, I must have a child. Our Tianlong Empire must have a crown prince."
"Xuan'er, you've been pretending for so long, it's been hard. Queen, please accompany Xuan'er to the back palace to change back."
The queen nodded.
She and Qin Xuan went to the back hall.
Everyone in the hall was talking, and Qin Zhentian did not stop them. Half an hour later, Qin Xuan and the others came out from the back hall.
"hiss!"
Many people were shocked.
