utor already forgotten”"The wolf cub of the Liao nation has an unquenchable ambition. The mighty Qin shall never consort with a defeated dog!"To be honest, Su Zhen's words sounded like a sweeping gene...Chapter 322: The First Genius of the Four Provinces

Su Jinpa didn't know what happened recently.

I don't know what the Dragon family is all about.

But she knew clearly that in this sensitive situation, a family from Xishan Province coming to the East Palace to pay their respects was not simple.

"I'm going back first."

Su Jinpa stood up wanting to avoid suspicion.

"What are you going back to do"

Putting down the wine cup in his hand, Li Chen reached out to take the visiting card from the eunuch's hand. He glanced at it casually without looking up and said to Su Jinpa, "We agreed to have dinner together tonight. Your father is busy with military affairs, your brother has gone on a campaign, and you are the only one left at home. Stay here with this palace."

My Palace.

This change in self-designation made Su Jinpa realize that Li Chen was now firmly in the role of a prince, addressing her as such.

He is no longer the Li Chen who used to call himself "I" and could be treated casually.

"Okay." Su Jinpan mumbled in response.

For some reason, she still preferred it when he called himself "I".

This voice, it's noble, yes, but there's also a sense of aloofness and superiority, like that of an emperor looking down on the common folk.

Have a look.

Li Chen passed the request to Su Jinpa and said.

Su Jinpa took it and opened it, glancing at it casually before saying, “Not bad. Even a visiting card is written so beautifully.”

"All style and no substance."

Li Chen gave a casual evaluation, his tone neither good nor bad.

Su Jinpa, seeing the end of the message, immediately understood and smiled: "Our ancestors and great-grandfathers were like brothers, united in camaraderie. The descendants of the Long clan dare not forget the three hundred years of kinship between our two families. Today, I am here to meet you and continue the bond forged in those days."

"This brings out the face of our ancestors from over 300 years ago."

Li Chen said faintly, "Even if his ancestors crawled out of their graves today, this palace wouldn't bother to see them."

After finishing his words, Li Chen instructed the eunuch, "Go and tell him that this palace is busy with state affairs and doesn't have time to continue this comradeship talk. If he wants to see me, he can wait outside the palace. If he can't wait, then he should just leave."

The eunuch cautiously agreed with a sound, then retreated.

Su Jinpa returned the invitation to Li Chen, asking curiously: "After all, they're from Xishan Province, it wouldn't be unusual for them to have important matters. Your Highness truly won't see them"

"I must see him, of course."

Li Chen casually tossed the precious, ornate gold-embossed invitation into the fireplace. Watching as it instantly ignited, turning to black ash, he nonchalantly said, "As for when I'll meet, this palace decides."

Outside of the East Palace.

To show their sincerity, Long Tianden and his son Long Huaiyu came on foot.

Although the weather had warmed up a bit these past few days, the coldest time of winter wasn't when it snowed, but when the snow melted. The father and son stood with their hands tucked in their pockets at the front gate of the East Palace, shivering from the cold.

The eunuch who had finally managed to deliver the message came out and recounted the prince's words. Dragon Tiande's face immediately stiffened.

"Is the Crown Prince really saying this"

Long Tiande glared at the eunuch who had just taken his ten taels of silver, his face contorted in anger.

The eunuch clutched the warm silver in his bosom and said with irritation, "Your Highness's words, how dare this lowly servant distort Not a single character out of place. If you wish to wait, then wait. If not, leave as you came."

After finishing his words, as if fearing the father and son would demand their money back, the eunuch turned and directly entered the East Palace.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!'t understand things that you do.”After finishing, Li Chen turned to Zou Chenglong and asked, "How did you come up with the idea of persuading Fu Minqing to come here"Zou Chenglong chuckled amiably an...
