Chapter 296: Temptation

As soon as the eldest prince spoke, the atmosphere of harmony that had been talking and laughing was instantly broken, and everyone quieted down and looked at the eldest prince and the eldest princess standing next to him.

Youdu had already come over, and Li Yun had to say hello, "Thank you for what happened just now, Your Highness." ”

The eldest prince replied with a gentle smile, "It's just a gesture." I wonder if there is a place for His Highness here? "Obviously, the eldest prince wants to come over here and have a table.

Before Li Yun and Li Yue could answer, Yan Shisan took the lead in speaking unceremoniously, "Big brother, don't you think this table is too crowded?" I can see that there is no place for it. ”

The eldest prince was not annoyed, and still responded with a smile, "It's okay, it's all squeezed anyway, and it's okay to squeeze it again." ”

Seeing that the eldest prince was determined to squeeze this table, Yan Jiu stood up and said, "The king sits on my side, it just so happens that I want to go over there to have a look." After that, Yan Jiu got up and left.

Zhou Huaijin watched Yan Jiu leave, and also stood up, "Your Highness, you sit here, I should also go back to my place." ”

Yan Jiu and Zhou Huaijin, who Yan Shisan saw, got up and left, then stood up and said to Su Ruotian opposite, "Let's go to the table at your house with you, say hello, and say hello to the elders." ”

The others got up and left and said hello to the eldest prince, but Yan Shisan didn't say hello, anyway, everyone knew his temperament, relying on his grace, being arrogant, and not doing his job, King Yan had no way to take him, and it was normal to be disrespectful to his eldest brother.

A dim light flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, and he soon disappeared, with a gentle smile on his face, and said to Yan Shisan, who got up, very generously, "The thirteenth brother has really grown up and knows that he is going to meet the elders." ”

Yan Shisan looked at the eldest prince with a dissatisfied expression, "What does the eldest brother mean is that I used to be rude to my elders?" ”

The eldest prince didn't expect Yan Shisan to suddenly be so aggressive, he used to talk by himself, he was ignorant and ignored himself, and suddenly like this, it made the eldest prince stunned.

Zhou Yanxue, who was on the side, spoke in time, "The thirteenth brother is still so naughty, are you deliberately picking fault with your eldest brother's words?" Your eldest brother is praising you, you are so faulty, you have just changed the taste of your eldest brother's praise of you. ”

Yan Shisan looked at Zhou Yanxue in a daze, "His Royal Highness is not familiar with his sister-in-law, how can his sister-in-law know that His Royal Highness is naughty." As soon as Yan Shisan's words came out, Zhou Yanxue was very embarrassed.

Su Ruotian saw that Yan Shisan was a little endless, and there was a posture of wanting to fight with the eldest prince and the eldest prince and concubine, and many people had already looked here, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Yan Shisan to the table on the Su family's side, and said in his mouth, "Don't you want to meet my parents?" Let's go. ”

Yan Shisan was finally pulled away by Su Ruotian, Li Yue saw that the eldest prince and the eldest princess were still standing at the table, but she couldn't be accused of neglecting His Royal Highness the prince in her eyes, so she had to say hello, "Please sit down, two of you." ”

The original purpose of the eldest prince was to come over and make friends with Li Yun and Li Yue, and after listening to Li Yue's words, he unceremoniously sat down opposite Li Yun and Li Yue at the table here.

As soon as the two sat down, a palace maid next to them brought over the wine glasses of the two, and then poured a full bottle of wine for the two.

After the two sat down, Li Yun and Li Yue did not speak, Li Yun was a person with few words, and it was already good to be able to say hello and thank the eldest prince.

As for Li Yue, she didn't know what to say to the eldest prince and the eldest princess, she was not familiar with the eldest prince, and as for the eldest prince and concubine, although they had met once, they had no good impression, and they had nothing to say.

It was the eldest prince, and after sitting down with the eldest prince and concubine, he said with a smile, "It seems that the two of you have a good relationship with Lao Jiusan and Zhou Gongzi?" ”

Li Yue didn't plan to speak, so Li Yun replied casually, "General." ”

Seeing that Li Yun's answer was so perfunctory, the eldest prince was dissatisfied, but he didn't have a seizure, and continued, "Yes, I look like I have a very good relationship? ”

Li Yun finally looked at the eldest prince, "His Royal Highness seems to be very concerned about this issue?" ”

The eldest prince didn't expect Li Yun to suddenly ask like this, and his eyes flashed slightly, "Your Highness will just ask casually, I don't know what the two of you plan to do in the future?" I'm afraid the families of the two are still at the border and haven't picked them up, right? Are you planning to live in the county lord's mansion in the future? ”

Li Yun saw that the eldest prince had obviously come to inquire about the news, his eyes flashed, and he answered, "I originally planned that the war in the Northern Regions would subside, so I went back to the border to accompany Xiao Yue, but I didn't want Xiao Yue to suddenly come up to Yanjing, and I was named the county lord of Chang'an by the favor of the king, but it disrupted my plan, and I haven't thought about what to do later." ”

Although this answer is what the eldest prince wants to hear, but a trace of doubt flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, this entry into the court is the general of Zhenbei, even if his father will hand over Zhenbei to the Zhou family later, I am afraid that he will not treat this Li Yun badly, he is really willing to let go of such glory and wealth, and go back to the place where birds don't on the border?

If it was said before, it was Li Yun's legs that were wasted and disheartened, it was better to hide at the border, but now Li Yun is a healthy person who can go to the battlefield, and he has already made great achievements, this means that he wants to go back to the border, I'm afraid I will lie to him, right?

The eldest prince had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face was still a gentle face, "General Li is an idle cloud and wild crane, but this Yanjing is much better than the border after all, His Royal Highness thinks that it is better to stay in Yanjing." ”

Li Yun responded, "What His Highness said is that I will discuss it with the county lord again. ”

At this time, Zhou Yanran suddenly appeared, "Yanran has seen my sister, brother-in-law, and cousin." When he arrived at Li Yue's place, he gritted his teeth unwillingly, and finally said, "I've seen the county lord of Chang'an." ”

The eldest prince still had that gentle appearance, looking at Zhou Yanran and taking the lead in greeting, "It's Yanran who is here, let's sit here." The eldest prince and concubine have been silent from the beginning, and even when they saw Zhou Yanran, they didn't speak.

As for Li Yun and Li Yue, they didn't plan to deal with Zhou Yanran, who always likes to make up for herself and is stupid, and they don't plan to say hello.

Zhou Yanran sat down at the table here, and continued to speak with self-righteousness, "I just saw that my sister and brother-in-law were here, so I came over to say hello, did I disturb my brother-in-law talking to my cousin." ”

The eldest prince said, "It's okay, we're also chatting." ”

Li Yun and Li Yue continued to be silent, but the eldest prince regretted letting Zhou Yanran come here and sit down, obviously, Li Yun and Li Yue didn't seem to treat Zhou Yanran very much.

These two people did not speak, but it was a little embarrassing to get together at a table like this, and the eldest prince still wanted to continue to inquire about the relationship between Li Yun and Li Yue and the Zhenguo General's Mansion, so he had to raise his wine glass and adjust the atmosphere first, "Come, since we are sitting at a table, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, how should we have a drink." ”

After all, they are the eldest prince, although Li Yun and Li Yue don't treat these people very well, because of their status, they also have to socialize, so the two of them have to hold a cup and take a sip.

Then the eldest prince spoke, "Actually, it seems that His Royal Highness still has some fate with the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the county lord of Chang'an saved General Zhou Xiao in Yanxi, and this General Li helped General Zhou in the Northern Regions, which can be regarded as an indissoluble bond with the Zhou family." ”

Li Yun responded, "The Zhenguo General's Mansion is really the gate of the generals guarding Dayan, where there is a war in Dayan, there is the Zhou family, according to His Highness, as long as it is on the battlefield, it will be fate with the Zhenguo General's Mansion." ”

Li Yue, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected with a smile and said, "Xianggong, how can we not have a fate with the Zhenguo General's Mansion?" Have you forgotten what your cousin said? If it weren't for the face of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, where would we have today's status? I'm afraid there won't be me as the county lord. ”

Li Yue's obvious sarcastic words made the eldest prince a little stunned, and he glanced at Zhou Yanran suspiciously, but he didn't have a crazy opinion.

However, Zhou Yanran, who had always been superior in front of Li Yue, actually lowered her posture and said, "County Lord, that's, that's my nonsense, don't take it seriously to the County Lord." ”

It's not that Zhou Yanran suddenly changed her temperament, but because of this incident, even her grandfather, who has always loved her, reprimanded her, and even her grandmother was warned by her grandfather, not to mention the uncle who didn't like her very much.

Of course, Li Yue could guess the reason for this, I was afraid that after Zhou Huaijin went back, she would definitely say something about it, and after listening to Zhou Yanran's explanation, she snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Listening to the conversation between Li Yue and Zhou Yanran, it made the eldest prince a little foggy, listening to Li Yue's tone, it was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied with the Zhenguo General's Mansion, but Zhou Huaijin also came here just now, in the end, this Li Yun and Li Yue are friends with the Zhenguo General's Mansion? Or are things not as they seem?

Or is it really as Li Yun said, because they are all on the battlefield, contact with the Zhou family is inevitable?

The corner of Li Yue's eyes looked at the eldest prince who suddenly stopped talking, looking at the tangle that flashed on the eldest prince's face, and smiled secretly in his heart, didn't he want to inquire about the relationship with the Zhenguo General's Mansion? Go back and guess for yourself.

Zhou Yanran didn't plan to shut up, but turned her head to look at Li Yun and said with a look of remorse, "Cousin, are you angry with me?" I was babbling gibberish that day. ”

Li Yue rolled her eyes at the sky, which eye did she see that Li Yun was angry? Angry with her? She thinks too highly of herself, but this woman is really stupid, she has always been so self-righteous, Li Yue is too lazy to take care of her now.

So Li Yun and Li Yue chose to ignore it at the same time, but Zhou Yanran still shouted delicately, "Cousin, don't be angry with me, okay?" ”
