Looking at the invitation card that Kong Yuan brought in, Yang Yun was puzzled. This prince Yang Yue, although he is his eldest brother, has little intersection with himself, and he can't see each other a few times throughout the year, but this time he actually invited himself to the East Palace for a banquet two days later.

Let Kong Yuan call Ju Yuanguang, Ju Yuanguang picked up the invitation and looked at it, and after a little thought, he said: "The New Year is approaching, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly invited, or you, the inconspicuous prince." This invitation should be sent to more than just His Highness. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have invited your other brothers! ”

"But in my impression, my eldest brother has never loved Dali and our brothers, why did he suddenly invite everyone to a banquet this time?" Yang Yun said very suspiciously.

"Hehe, maybe he suddenly figured it out. But I estimate that your eldest brother may have the help of a master, and he wants to give His Majesty a signal that after he ascends the throne, he will definitely treat your brothers well and be a benevolent and virtuous king. Ju Yuanguang said with a smile.

"Since all my brothers are going, then Brother Ju, you will go with me then, don't we have to choose a prince to assist? Let's see which one is the best allegiance for us. "These days have been discussing this time, although there is already a general direction, Yang Yun still hopes that Ju Yuanguang will go and see it in person.

"Okay, then we will go together, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have a banquet, of course it is impossible to bring too many people, but just in case, more people should be arranged on the way back to pick up."

Two days later, it happens to be the New Year's Day, which has the shortest daylight hours of the year. In Dafu, people have the custom of worshiping gods and ancestors and reuniting brothers during the Asian New Year's Festival. Therefore, the prince chose this day to feast on his brothers, and he still seriously considered it.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at Yan Qin and Liu Yue beside him, opening the curtain, and looking at Qi Wei who was walking in front, Yang Yun suddenly felt as if he had returned to a few months ago. The Thirteen Princes were so similar to this scene before they were attacked that day, but now the situation has changed a lot, and Yang Yun is no longer the incompetent prince who was slaughtered by others.

The Prince's Mansion is less than half an hour away from Yang Yun's Thirteen Princes' Mansion, and when he was about to arrive at the Prince's Mansion, he met Yang Ming, the king of victory, who came by sedan chair, and under his warm invitation, Yang Yun sat in Yang Ming's sedan chair. In Yang Ming's conversation, it was confirmed that this time the crown prince Yang Yue really invited all the princes, as well as the children of some important ministers.

When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, some princes and officials' children had already arrived to greet the guests at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. Many of the officials' children have been here for a long time, but they have never entered, seeing that Yang Ming of Shengwang has arrived, these people hurriedly came up and greeted Shengwang warmly, obviously they were waiting for Shengwang here.

"This prince is really, so many brothers and sisters are here, and they don't know how to come out to greet them, even if they don't come, they have to let his children come out!" Shengwang Yang Ming was obviously a little dissatisfied, and deliberately said loudly.

Ju Yuanguang saw that many people surrounded Yang Ming and said this and that enthusiastically, but he had to reluctantly deal with his master Yang Yun because of his feelings. And Yang Yun wisely chose to go to the side, join him together, and prepare to go inside. Unexpectedly, in the reception crowd, I saw an acquaintance.

This person was Wu Yuanyu, who was one of the "Three Yuans" with him that day, and he refused the invitation sent by the prince that day, but at the same time he also refused His Royal Highness the Thirteen. His Royal Highness gave him a prescription, and later he wrote to him, saying that the prescription given to him by His Royal Highness was very effective, and that his son's condition was almost cured, and he would return to Xijing on the same day.

"Hmph, when the three of us were studying in the same academy that day, everyone's evaluation of us was: Yuanhang Poison, Yuanyu Chongyi and Yuanguang are the proudest. Unexpectedly, Wu Yuanyu, who is the most righteous person, forgot the promise of the day and climbed another high branch, I have to ask him, have you forgotten the original promise? The more Ju Yuanguang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was about to move forward.

Seeing this, Yang Yun hurriedly grabbed Ju Yuanguang and said in a low voice: "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, let's not care about so many ......" After talking for a long time, he couldn't persuade Ju Yuanguang in his rage, and pulled him and Yanqin Liuyue to the prince's mansion together.

"Your Highness, giant brother, please!" Wu Yuanyu saw Yang Yun and Ju Yuanguang coming, and his face was embarrassed, but his duty was to come to greet him.

"Thank you, Brother Wu!" Yang Yun smiled slightly and said loudly.

"Congratulations to Brother Wu for finding a high branch! I'm thinking, where did the master come from to come up with such a good idea for His Royal Highness the Prince, which can not only eliminate the prejudice of the ministers against His Royal Highness the Prince, but also make His Majesty trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, this master is Brother Wu, you! Ju Yuanguang sneered.

"It's not a good strategy, it makes the giant brother laugh!" Wu Yuanyu said as he hurriedly walked in front and led a few people inside.

The meeting place was in the garden of the Prince's Mansion, which was a large courtyard. At this time, there is a thin layer of snow in the garden, and more than a dozen plum blossoms open in the cold, and it is beautiful to be lined with white snow. In the garden, there is also a clear pool, the water of the pool is extremely clear, many fish see so many people are not afraid at all, and swim freely in the pool water.

"Hehe, the Prince's Mansion is like a fairyland compared to His Highness's Mansion! No wonder people who want to come to the prince's mansion flock to it. Ju Yuanguang looked suddenly enlightened, Wu Yuanyu in front of him paused, pretended not to hear, and continued to walk in with a few people.

The snow in the garden had been swept away from a large open space, and the servants had already set up many tables and stools, and placed countless carbon fires, so that the people sitting in it were extremely warm.

Before Yang Yun, there were already a few princes who arrived, and the somewhat obese prince Yang Yue was sitting with the second prince (Xiangwang Yang Xian), pointing at the dancing woman with his finger from time to time, laughing. It's very obscene, and it doesn't look like a prince at all. The other princes each looked at the song and dance they were performing, and they didn't seem to see the arrival of Yang Yun and the others.

For such a scene, Yang Yun didn't care, for so many years, Yang Yun had become accustomed to being treated coldly, and he silently walked to his place and sat down. Ju Yuanguang and Yanqin Liuyue, together with the other princes' entourage, sat down in an area behind.

Yang Yun silently ate the fruit snacks placed on the table and watched the singing and dancing performance in front of him. Since no one pays attention to himself, there is no need for him to be shy and slap others. However, even if he was like this, trouble still took the initiative to find him.

"Old Thirteen, you're a good kid! Just a few days after leaving the palace, I found such a beautiful two maids, it seems that they are still yellow flower girls, brother I like these two girls, give them to me! The crown prince Yang Yue didn't know when he saw Yan Qin and Liu Yue, and said loudly to Yang Yun.

Yang Yue's words alarmed everyone in the field. So everyone turned their heads to look at Yan Qin and Liu Yue, and then focused their eyes on Yang Yun.

Seeing this, Yang Yun secretly smiled bitterly, how could he forget, this eldest brother has always liked women, and he is especially interested in Yun Ying's unmarried beautiful women, over the years, I don't know how many women from good families have been destroyed in his hands.

Seeing that Yang Yun hadn't spoken for a long time, Yang Yue said again: "What, I can't bear it, in that case, my brother will exchange ten maids with you." Or, if you let them serve me for a few days, I'll give you back. ”

In ancient times, the status of women was very low, and it was common to give or exchange maids like this. Yang Yun didn't want to offend the prince, but in this case, there was no other way.

Thinking of this, Yang Yun stood up and arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if it is an unimportant item, the junior brother will definitely give it up, but these two maids have a special meaning to me, so the junior brother has no choice but to disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Yang Yun's words surprised the princes present. This old thirteen has been very timid since he was a child, and when the princes fight, he never dared to fight back, and when other princes asked him for something, he never dared to refuse.

"Haha, old thirteen, look at your little body, this woman is not something you can contaminate, my brother advises me, let's give these two girls to my eldest brother, otherwise I won't know if I die on the bed one day." A voice burst out laughing, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was Yang Yong, the Nine Emperor Princes.

"Brother Nine Emperors, how to die is my own business, and I don't have to worry about it for Brother Seven Emperors. The two of them are my personal guards to protect me, and no one should try to beat them! "Some people, if you blindly show weakness, he will press forward step by step, so Yang Yun simply toughened up.

"You are a younger brother, how can you talk to your imperial brother, my father is not here today, and I, the eldest brother, have to teach you for my father. Come on, bring me the old thirteen, slap your mouth! Yang Yue shouted loudly.

But Yang Yun is the prince after all, the subordinates of the Prince's Mansion, you look at me, I look at you, and I never dare to make a move.

"You dog minions, you feed you on weekdays, but don't listen to them when it's critical?" Yang Yue was obviously angry, pointing at a few guards beside Yang Yun and roaring.

"Your Highness the Thirteenth, where your duty lies, you have offended!" Seeing this, a guard next to him had no choice but to arch his hand and walk towards Yang Yun.

The guard came to Yang Yun and stretched out his hand, ready to catch Yang Yun. Before he could think of it, there was a sudden soft sound around him, and a fist shadow struck at the guard. The guard was also quick to react, and immediately reached out to block, but he never expected that this punch turned out to be a false move, causing the boxer's arm to flip, and a short sword that appeared in his hand at some point leaned against the guard's neck.

It was Yanqin who made the shot, and she was born as a killer, but she was not a small guard to contend with. And on her side, Liu Yue also took out a short sword and protected it in front of Yang Yun.

"Someone brought a knife with the intention of assassinating Prince Ben, and he didn't take it for me!" Seeing that the guards were restrained with one move, Yang Yue was even more furious. When the guards of the Prince's Mansion received the order, they immediately rushed towards Yang Yun and a few others.

"Bang bang bang!" A few applause came suddenly, and everyone turned their heads to look. But it was Yang Ming, the king of victory, who walked in while applauding, followed by several princes and ministers.

"Oops! It's late, it's late. I almost missed a big play, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are really clever and tongue-in-cheek! is obviously a robber of a servant, but it can also become an assassin, and the younger brother admires it. Yang Ming bowed to Yang Yue with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Old Five, don't spew blood, the two maids of the thirteenth came to my prince's mansion with knives, intending to assassinate the prince, why can't the prince take them down?" Seeing the winning king Yang Ming, Yang Yue felt a headache, although this Yang Ming was younger than himself, he had not taken any advantage of him since he was a child.
