23, the knife is not taboo
The East Palace, where the birthday banquet is held, is divided into an inner court and an outer court.
The inner courtyard is a hundred gardens, and all the characters with heads and faces sit there.
There is an autumn pavilion in the center, and the people sitting in the attic are all members of the royal family.
Of course, there is also a difference between the noble and the low in the royal family, and the three children born by Queen Mu are respected, namely the crown prince Ji Wuji, the second prince Ji Wuyu, and the ninth princess Ji Wuyi. Among them, Ji Wuyi has been given the title "Duanyang", Yi Wanhu, there is no doubt that she is the most favored daughter of the Holy Emperor. The rest are half-siblings, all of whom were born to nobles and lowly maids, and there is naturally a gap in identity.
Ji Wuji sat at the top, Ji Wuyu and Ji Wuyi were on the left and right, and then arranged according to his mother's dignity, and there were more than 30 princes and princesses in the two rows.
The maids are like clouds, interspersed in each dwarf, pouring wine and serving food, in an endless stream.
In addition to these, it is the retinue brought by the princes and princesses.
The entourage that can be brought to the East Palace naturally has a great relationship, and they all sit behind their masters, and each of them also has the treatment of a short table.
Ji Wuyu brought Xia Wanli, Liu Xiangxiu and Lone Eagle. There is a side door next to it for the retinue to enter and exit.
Ji Wuyi put down his chopsticks and looked at Ji Wuji with sparkling eyes, "Brother Prince, what do you think of today's yellow crispy phoenix claws? ”
"Not bad. Ji Wuji behaved very blandly. But those who know him well know that if he makes a "good" evaluation, it means that it is really good.
Ji Wuyu poured himself a glass of wine and said leisurely: "It seems that Jiu'er's tenderness can only be enjoyed by the eldest brother." Alas, when will I let me, who is the second brother, also experience the experience, otherwise it will be too unfair. ”
"What the second brother said is yes, the ninth sister has only been close to the eldest brother since she was a child, aren't we good enough for you?" said the other prince complaining.
"Hmph, let's wait until you can be ranked on the Tianchen List!" Ji Wuyi said proudly, "Only the strong are worthy of my respect." ”
Before Ji Wuyu could say something, there was a sudden commotion outside, his brows furrowed, and he shouted, "Who is making trouble outside?"
A guard trotted up, "Your Highness, a guest in the outer court has a fight with the people of the Eagle Yasi!"
Lone Eagle's face changed slightly.
"It's too bold!" Ji Wuyu's face sank, "This is the East Palace, not a downtown area." Brother Huang, leave this matter to me. ”
"Wait!" Ji Wuyi raised his eyebrows, "What are the people from the Eagle Yasi doing in the East Palace, thinking that this is a busy city?
"Brother Prince, just bring them in and ask!" she said to Ji Wuji.
Ji Wuyu smiled and said, "Jiu'er, you are really fooling around. Today is the emperor's brother's birthday, do you still bother him with this little thing?"
"Do you have a ghost in your heart?" Ji Wuyi sneered.
Ji Wuyu said with a sad face: "Jiu'er, the second brother has always treated you well, how can you think so." Am I going to hurt my big brother?"
"Bring them in. Ji Wuji came to a conclusion.
"Did you hear what Brother Prince's brother said, why don't you hurry up?" Ji Wuyi said, pointing to the guard's nose.
The guards hurriedly climbed downstairs, but it didn't take long for them to stumble up again, "Qi, Your Highness Qi, then, that person is at the door, saying that he wants to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"What about the people of the Eagle Yasi?" Ji Wuyu frowned.
The guard broke into a cold sweat and said, "All of them have been seriously injured and have been carried down for treatment." ”
As we all know, the leader of the Eagle Yasi is the Lone Eagle, and the Lone Eagle has always been Ji Wuyu's person.
The princes and princesses couldn't help but secretly guess in their hearts, could this be a scene arranged by Ji Wuji?
"Pass in. Ji Wuji still looks not salty or light, as if nothing in this world can affect his mood.
The guards immediately went to pass it.
Then, Yan Li appeared in the sight of everyone in the attic.
"Yan Li?" Ji Wuyi shouted first, surprised with a hint of curiosity. Of course, she knew that Liang Wen was going to arrest Yan Li, and she also knew a little about Liang Wen's strength, but she didn't expect that the person he wanted to arrest actually appeared in the East Palace.
Ji Wuyu's face gradually turned cold, and the faces of the three Lone Eagles behind him all changed.
Yan Li walked very slowly, climbed more than a dozen steps, which made him pant slightly, and when he stood still in the building, he hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Yanli, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Princess Duanyang......"
He slowly turned to Ji Wuyu, and the corners of his mouth sparkled with a vague smile, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
Ji Wuyu's brows furrowed, and he turned his head to look at the lone eagle.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on the lone eagle's forehead, and he hurriedly walked to Ji Wuyu's side, and whispered in his ear: "There was a fierce battle in Yuxin Lake, Liang Wen and his men are missing, and the rest ......"
He gritted his teeth, "The subordinate is about to investigate. ”
Ji Wuyu waved his hand to signal him to step back, and then gradually laughed, and said, "Why is Brother Yan standing here? How did I hear that you seem to be a wanted criminal now? It seems that the garrison of the East Palace needs to be rectified. ”
"Ji Wuyu, it's an invitation I gave, you might as well straighten it out with me!" Ji Wuyi said coldly.
"Jiu'er, it turned out to be your guest, why didn't you invite it early?" Ji Wuyu's face was suddenly full of helplessness and doting, "How can the second brother bear to hurt you, only those guards are a little angry when they neglect their duties at such an important time." Since he was a guest of Jiu'er, the second brother naturally couldn't say anything. ”
"Brother Huang, what do you see?" he turned to Ji Wuji.
Ji Wuji looked at Yan Li and said, "Why do you want to see me?"
He was looking at Yan Li, and Yan Li was also looking at him.
This was the first time Yan Li had seen Ji Wuji, with a beautiful golden embroidered dragon brocade robe, showing his superhuman power and status. The well-made cut highlights his heroic figure, and even when sitting, he is by no means half a point shorter than a person.
He has an almost delicate face, combining the characteristics of Ji Wuyi and Ji Wuyu, and the difference between the two is that this almost delicate face is full of too much indifference, like an emotionless puppet, but his eyes have a strange charm, like a clear cold pool, and he can see the bottom at a glance.
This person is Ji Wuji, who ranks fifth on the Tianchen List, known as Dao Wuji, and there is no one else in the world who uses a knife.
"I'm here to apologize to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Yan Li said with a smile.
"Apologize?" Ji Wuji said.
"I received the invitation from the ninth princess the next morning, and I was very happy, I arrived early, and it was not my intention to make trouble. ”
Yan Li continued, "Fang was eating, and the two murderers couldn't help but say that they were going to arrest me, and only then did they fight back to defend themselves out of self-preservation, and there was no disrespect to His Highness, and later I realized that it was a public person, so I had to come up in person to make amends to His Highness." ”
