Chapter 155 The farce is over

No one paid any attention to the third prince.

The farce was over and everyone dispersed.

The third prince was rebuked by Qiao Niannian, so he didn't ask any more questions, otherwise it would be too obvious.

The tenth princess has always disliked the third prince.

Seeing that the royal grandmother was going back, she immediately greeted Xia Rongyu and dragged Qiao Niannian to chase after her.

Qiao Niannian left.

The third prince glanced at Xia Rongyu indifferently and smiled to test her.

"The prince seems to have a different attitude towards Miss Qiao. Unfortunately, Miss Qiao is only ten years old this year."

Xia Rongyu chuckled.

A smile suddenly bloomed on his handsome face, like an ice flower blooming in winter, beautiful but a bit cold.

"Third brother treats me differently. I can even see that I treat Nian Nian differently."

"Then third brother should know that he should at least stay away from people he shouldn't get involved with."

Although Xia Rongyu is younger than Xia Zeqi, his aura is definitely more powerful than Xia Zeqi.

Xia Rongyu was trained as the successor to the throne since he was a child. His teacher was the old Taifu, who had taught both my father and the previous emperor. Naturally, he was extraordinary.

He only taught the prince.

The prince also learned a lot from this old man.

The second is the Taifu.

The Taifu is the son of the old Taifu, and is also responsible for the prince's lessons.

The Taifu teaches the prince whenever the prince needs it.

As for other princes, he has to attend classes for three days out of ten.

The resources that the crown prince and the princes have access to since childhood are different. This has always been the case in

the Great Xia Dynasty. The

legitimate son is appointed instead of the eldest son.

Unless the legitimate son really cannot support a country, the emperor will consider appointing a new prince, which is also possible. But this situation cannot be applied to Xia Rongyu. Xia Rongyu has been smart since he was a child, and the old tutor praised him repeatedly. Although he is in poor health. But every task assigned by the emperor is handled very beautifully, and the ministers in the court have nothing to say. Therefore, it is unlikely that Xia Zeqi wants his father to abolish Xia Rongyu voluntarily. He can only fight for it on his own. He did want to test Xia Rongyu today. However, he thought that Xia Rongyu would never admit it. After all, Qiao Niannian was only ten years old, and Xia Rongyu was used to being aloof. How could he admit that he was different from others to a little girl? But he admitted it. The third prince, who was planning to find a handle on Xia Rongyu, was speechless for a while. He was originally waiting for Xia Rongyu to say that he didn't care about Qiao Niannian, and then he would increase his efforts to get close to Qiao Niannian and make Qiao Niannian like him. By then, if Xia Rongyu was unhappy, he would have a legitimate reason. Result. Xia Rongyu actually admitted it. This made Xia Zeqi hate it to death. Now, if he wants to get close to Qiao Niannian, he may have to spend some time thinking. At least, he can't let Xia Rongyu find any handle. It would be best to let Qiao Niannian marry him, so that he can say that this is Qiao Niannian's intention, not that he wants to marry Qiao Niannian. Otherwise, the Crown Prince might not be able to explain this. Thinking of this, the Third Prince's eyes were gloomy and terrible. He didn't want to stay any longer. He found an excuse and left. He wanted to go back and ask the mysterious man why his plans had been broken recently. Qiao Niannian hadn't walked far at this time. She turned back as if she had felt something and glanced at the Third Prince. Then she shook her head. "You brought this upon yourself." The Tenth Princess followed Qiao Niannian, but she didn't hear what Qiao Niannian said clearly, so she couldn't help but ask one more question. "Niannian, what did you just say?" Qiao Niannian smiled and said, "I said, you should be careful recently, especially the Third Prince. Try not to see him alone." Qiao Niannian reminded the Tenth Princess. After all, the Third Prince has been frustrated recently, and he might contact the person behind him. The person behind the scenes is from the Tianxuan Sect. The Tianxuan Sect has no bottom line in doing things. The other party might come up with some sinister methods for the Third Prince, and the Third Prince will most likely not refuse. Xia Muyan couldn't help but frowned when she heard the words "Third Prince". "He is really too annoying, even more annoying than the water ghost that day. I feel uncomfortable when I see him." Xia Muyan said, and couldn't help but touch her chest, the talisman given by Qiao Niannian, and she felt a little safe. She didn't know why, every time she saw Xia Zeqi and Xia Chaoyan, she felt irritable. These two people gave her a very fake feeling. No wonder Xia Zeqi and Xia Chaoyan have a good relationship. They are all equally hypocritical. Seeing Xia Muyan say this, Qiao Niannian knew that she hated Xia Zeqi very much, so she didn't say anything more. The two returned to Cining Palace, talked with the Queen Mother for a while, and then returned to their room. On the other side. The third prince also returned to his own bedroom. The princes can only leave the palace to live outside the palace or return to their fiefdoms after being crowned kings and having fiefdoms. Otherwise, they have to live in the palace. Xia Zeqi returned home, dismissed her subordinates, and went into the study. Candles were lit in the study. Xia Zeqi picked up the candlestick beside her and opened the mechanism on the bookshelf. The bookshelf opened to both sides, revealing the secret door inside, and Xia Zeqi walked straight in.

Inside the secret door, the air was filled with gloom. Although there was no wind, the candle in his hand flickered a few times and then returned to normal.

Xia Zeqi was not surprised.

This was the magic of the immortal.

Only he could enter this secret door. If anyone else entered, they would be immediately discovered by the immortal and killed.

The wind just now was just a way for the immortal to detect who was coming.

Xia Zeqi walked in and found a secret room inside. When he opened the secret room, he saw an altar, incense candles, and kneeling mats.

Obviously, someone often came here to kneel down and worship devoutly.

Xia Zeqi walked forward, first lit the candles on the altar, then picked up three incense sticks and lit them on the candles, then extinguished the flames, and then knelt down devoutly.

"Dark God, I have doubts in my heart, and I need your answers. I hope you will show up."

After Xia Zeqi finished speaking, she reverently inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner, then kowtowed and knelt.

On the table, there was a black statue, wearing a black robe, with long hair scattered behind her. If Qiao Niannian saw it, this statue was exactly the same as the two statues she had destroyed before.

After Xia Zeqi knelt down, the three incense sticks in the incense burner burned quickly.

The next moment, the statue spoke.

"The Third Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, why did you invite me here?"

The Third Prince raised his head in surprise when he heard the familiar voice. He did not expect that the Dark God would come so soon.

The Third Prince was excited and quickly told him about the setbacks he had encountered recently.

Then, he asked the Dark God.

"I have a feeling that things shouldn't happen like this, but it happened just like this."

"The Empress Dowager has been lukewarm towards me recently, and what I've been doing recently hasn't been going well."

"So, I'd like to ask the Dark God to help me figure out what's going on!"

A steady voice came from the statue: "You were born under the fate of Purple Star, so you should have been smooth sailing. Now that you've encountered so many setbacks, even the attitudes of the people around you have changed. This is really not normal."

"Let me help you calculate it!"
