After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

Jiang Chen helped Ah Fu onto the horse, and the two of them rode a horse and returned home soon.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw several guards standing outside the yard. He guessed that the prince must be here.

Just as Jiang Chen helped Ah Fu through the door, Wang Ma saw them coming back and hurriedly came over and said;

"Master, the prince is here. He is talking to his wife in the house. Come in quickly."

In a blink of an eye, she saw Ah Fu's appearance again and asked:

"What's wrong with Ah Fu? Are you being bullied again?"

Jiang Chen waved to her, motioned for her to help Ah Fu into the room, and then said to her:

"Mother Wang, Ah Fu fell a little. You help him in and put a hot towel on his leg. The problem is not big. I'll go there first."

Wang Ma quickly said to him:

"Master, leave this to me. The prince has been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly."

When Jiang Chen came to the house, he saw that the prince had sent many more things.He saluted the prince and said:

"Jiang Chen didn't know that the prince was coming. He kept you waiting for a long time. It's a sin. It's a sin."

The prince saw that he was about to salute him, so he lifted him up and said:

"We don't need to be so polite in the future. What did you do today and why did you come back so late?"

Jiang Chen sat under the crown prince and said to him:

"I took Ah Fu to the White Horse Temple to burn incense. I saw that the scenery there was pretty good, so I looked around. I didn't know that the prince was coming, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

Li Susu on the side said to Jiang Chen:

"Chen'er, I thought you were going out for fun. If I had known earlier that you were going to the White Horse Temple, my mother would have gone with you. It would also be a good way to burn incense sticks for the dead souls of the Li family so that they can be reborn as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Jiang Chen looked at his mother's aging face and felt very sad.He quickly comforted her and said:

"Mother, we went to White Horse Temple just to pray for the Li family. With my son here, I won't have to worry about mother anymore. Seeing how haggard you are now, you still have to take good care of your body. That's the most important thing. "

The prince also gave some persuasion, and then said to Jiang Chen:

"Jiang Chen, I came here today to invite you to stay in my Prince's Mansion for a few days. I told the Queen about you and she really wants to see you. I don't know what you want."

Jiang Chen cupped his hands and said to the prince:

"Jiang Chen is really honored to meet the Queen. There is no reason for me to disobey. Your Highness, just follow the arrangements. I will be at your disposal at any time."

The prince said to Jiang Chen again;

"I'm taking you to meet the Queen for one thing, but more importantly, I want to take you to a welcome dinner. I don't know if you are interested."

Jiang Chen saluted the prince again and said:

"Your Highness, Jiang Chen is a commoner. I wonder if he has the qualifications to attend such an important occasion. Your Highness, have you ever thought about my identity?"

The prince smiled and said to Jiang Chen:

"If I told you who the banquet is for today, I'm afraid you wouldn't refuse like this."

Jiang Chen looked at the prince and said:

"Jiang Chen is ignorant and ignorant. I have never attended any banquets. As long as the prince does not dislike Jiang Chen's stupidity, I will always wait for the prince's call."

The prince said to him:

"The Kingdom of Xiliang sent a mission to our Xuanwu Dynasty. We don't care about their purpose of coming here, but we must also receive them according to etiquette when visiting the two countries. But the mission sent by Xiliang this time There is one of their princes here, and out of polite reciprocity, I have to come forward to entertain them. Haven't you always wanted to know the whereabouts of General Li? You might be able to find out something about it from the conversation with them. It’s unknown. So I thought of you, and you said it was such a good opportunity, would you like to come with me?"

Jiang Chen immediately became interested, and he said to the prince:

"Okay, this is a rare opportunity. I will definitely attend, but I don't know what identity I can use to attend as a commoner."

The prince said to him:

"Don't worry about this, I have already thought of it for you. Just pretend to be my bodyguard and follow me. In this case, just pack up and let me go."

Li Susu said to the prince worriedly:

"Your Highness, Jiang Chen has never attended such a high-level reception before. If there is anything he doesn't do well, for the sake of the general, we must treat him with more care."

The prince smiled at him and said:

"Mrs. Jiang, you don't have to worry about Jiang Chen. He is not a child now. There are some things that he should be involved in early, so as to build bridges and pave the way for his future. I am very optimistic about Jiang Chen. Since Madam agrees, Now, I’m going to take him away.”

Li Susu glanced at her son again and told him:

"Chen'er, if you follow the prince, you must always ask the prince what he wants when something happens, and don't make your own decisions just for the limelight. Although we hate the people of Xiliang, they are on an envoy to the Xuanwu Dynasty this time. We must also make money regardless of the past. , show the demeanor of a big country, don’t do things improperly and make others laugh, you understand.”

Jiang Chen raised his hands to his mother and said:

"My child, please obey your mother's teachings. I will do everything according to His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes. Please don't worry about me anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Chen followed the prince, mounted his horse, and left home together.

On the way, the prince said to him:

"Jiang Chen, do you have any plans for the future?"

When Jiang Chen saw the prince suddenly asking about this matter, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

He had just come to this world, and everything was not as simple as he imagined.

He was once very proud and wanted to show off his skills in this new environment.

But the reality did not develop as he expected. The enmity of the Li family, the disputes of the Jiang family, and the title on his head were all beyond his control.

It seems that if you want to survive well in this world, you really need to have a chance.

And his only chance now is the prince in front of him.

Because they have a common enemy, and the prince's position is also being shaken by the outside world.

If he wants to gain a foothold in this dynasty and make a career, he must join forces with the prince to help him ascend to the throne smoothly and let those who killed the Li family receive their due retribution.

Thinking of this, he said to the prince:

"I can't even talk about plans. At my age, I should be studying in a school. But in my current situation, and with such a big change in my family, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to study. But , since I have met the Crown Prince, I will follow His Highness's footsteps. As long as His Highness has a mission for me, I will spare no effort to complete it. As for the plan, it depends on where fate will lead me. I am very optimistic about my current situation. I don’t have a good arrangement yet.”

The prince looked at Jiang Chen and said:

"Listen to what you mean, do you still want to continue studying? If you have such an idea, I will definitely fulfill your wish."

Jiang Chen didn't expect that the prince would care so much about him.He gratefully said to the prince:

"If the prince said this, then Jiang Chen would have thanked the prince in advance. After I went back, I picked up the books and studied hard in the cold window. Since I can't keep my title of heir apparent, then I will go to the scientific examination. I have worked hard along the way. I hope that one day, I can be named on the gold medal list, but it is just a wish."

The prince saw that he was very excited when talking about this matter, so he said to him:

"Jiang Chen, have you ever thought about it, taking the imperial examination is a very difficult thing. It does not mean that if you like reading, you will definitely be able to get the title. Some people spend their whole life taking the examination, and when they are old He's still a scholar. I'm not throwing cold water on you. I'm afraid you've missed a lot of classes due to illness over the years. Do you have such confidence? Pick it up again. The Qiuwei exam is the most severe. Examination. It has to go through the state examination step by step starting from the scholar, then to the provincial examination, and finally to the palace examination. Those scholars who don't come this round will have to shed their skin even if they don't die. You know how important every step in between is. Is it difficult? If I say this, do you still want to take this road again?"
