When the group found the backyard, the sixth prince was squatting obediently by the pool in the garden playing with mud. He knew it was dirty, so he poked the mud with a stick instead of using his hands.
Hearing the sound of running, he glanced back and immediately threw the stick in his hand into the pool, then wiped himself and stood up, pretending nothing happened.
Then the servant who served him breathed a sigh of relief, and followed the little master forward.
Seeing that the sixth child was safe and sound, the fifth prince also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he pulled him out together.
Yang Houye was still a little bit unresponsive, and asked, "Why does Your Highness Fifth want to go to my house?"
The fifth prince glanced at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, and lied without changing his expression: "It's the first time I'm hosting outside the palace, and I want to be more thoughtful, so as not to neglect my sisters and younger brothers. There is a banquet at home to entertain guests, and we want to join in the fun, why, isn't uncle welcome?"
Lord Yang laughed and said, "Why don't you welcome me? Uncle can only be happy if you can come to the door. Let's go then, let's go together."
It's just that he was not only a little uneasy, but also a little aggrieved. If he knew that he would go to the Yang Mansion, would he need to visit him secretly
Lord Yang lowered his eyes, thinking of his son's stubbornness, he was a little unsure whether to let them meet.
It's just that people headed directly towards Yang's mansion when they left the door, leaving him not long time to think.
The group soon arrived outside Yang's mansion. Yang Heshu seemed to have received the news in advance, and stood at the door with Tang He to welcome the four princes and princesses.
The sixth prince was the youngest. He looked around and asked the fifth prince, "Fifth brother, what are we doing here?"
The Fifth Prince lowered his voice and said, "Eat barbecue, roast venison."
The sixth prince's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You baked it yourself?"
The Fifth Prince nodded.
The sixth prince immediately stopped asking, and started staring at Yang and Shu with great interest.
Changyu was also staring at Yang Heshu, but she didn't dare to look at it openly, so she stood between Man Bao and Mingda, looked up from time to time, then lowered her head and laughed for a while, then looked up again.
Mingda and Manbao: …
The two turned their heads to look at her silently for a while, then silently turned away, wanting to pretend that they didn't know her.
Yang Houye had already ordered the housekeeper to set up banquets, while Yang Heshu led them directly to the observation building, and said with a smile, "It will take some time for the kitchen to prepare lunch. We can roast some meat first."
Mingda and the sixth prince who came rushing to the barbecue nodded repeatedly, and had no objection at all.
The Fifth Prince and Changyu who came rushing to Yang Heshu had no objection, and didn't even look at Yang Houye next to him, turned around and followed Yang Heshu to the Observation Tower.
After instructing the housekeeper some precautions, Yang Houye, who was only able to see their backs when he turned around: …
He knew that as long as his son was there, these children would not talk around him.
Yang Houye hesitated for a moment, and after hesitating for a while between inserting it cheekily and letting the young people play together, he still shook his head and invited a confidant, "You go to the viewing tower to serve, you must Serve the princes and princesses well."
Mammy responded and was about to step back when Lord Yang suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Look at the uncle and the fifth prince. If they talk together, find a way to separate them."
Mammy froze for a moment, then responded in a cold sweat.
It was impossible to separate them, because before the nanny could catch up, Yang Heshu stopped on the way leading them to the viewing tower and said to Tang He, Baishan and the others: "Take care of the sixth prince and the two princes for me. Princess, Your Highness Fifth, I have several jars of No. 1 wine at my place. My grandfather buried them after I was born, and I haven’t finished drinking them. Now that you are about to open your house, I have nothing else to give you, so how about giving you two jars of No. 1 wine? ?”
The Fifth Prince was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
So Yang Heshu took the fifth prince away halfway, followed by each other's confidantes, it's nothing, after walking out for a while, Yang Heshu waved at the back, so Wan Tian and the fifth prince's servant stopped and walked away from each other. follow.
Yang Heshu didn't go directly back to his yard to get wine, but led the fifth prince to walk slowly around the garden, he asked: "Your Highness, did my father mention the matter of letting the imperial concubine take the blame?"
The Fifth Prince was taken aback, "What?"
Looking at his reaction, Yang Heshu knew whether it was true or not, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Is that asking His Highness to send a message to the imperial concubine?"
The Fifth Prince couldn't help touching his chest.
Yang Heshu glanced at his skirt, looked away, and said, "Does Your Highness want to take a look at it? The letter may be to persuade the empress to take the blame."
The Fifth Prince stared suspiciously at Yang Heshu, puzzled, "Cousin and Uncle are at odds?"
Yang Heshu smiled wryly, but still insisted, "Won't His Highness take a look?"
The fifth prince's expression changed. After a long time, he took out the thick letter from his pocket and opened it under the clear eyes of Yang Heshu...
He scanned the ten lines at a glance, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became. After a long time, when he saw the last page, he couldn't help tearing up the letter in his hand, and looked at Yang Heshu angrily, "Master Yang, what do you mean? Mother and concubine replacing Yang Rong?"
Yang Heshu sighed and said: "My father thinks that His Majesty is kind to his family. If your empress and His Highness admit this matter, His Majesty will have no excuse to confiscate the Yang family again, and you can save your uncle's family."
"But my mother and concubine are innocent."
"Yes, Your Majesty knows this too," Yang Heshu said, "This is also the two reasons why I disapprove of my father's move. Your Majesty and Your Highness are completely innocent, and you don't need to wrong yourself for the fault of your cousin and uncle; , Your Majesty knows the inside story, if he knows that his father and uncle are pushing the empress and His Highness to take the blame, he will only be more annoyed."
"Although you can't do anything about Yang if you lose the evidence at this time, if Yang makes mistakes again in the future, His Majesty will definitely settle the old and new ones together." He sighed and said, "It's a pity that my father didn't listen to me. Shan and the others went to His Highness to report this matter, and please His Highness and Your Majesty to keep silent, just pretend that they don't know anything, and leave everything to Dali Temple and the imperial court."
The angry Fifth Prince's face softened a little, staring at Yang Heshu and asked, "Yang Rong... Will my uncle's family be ransacked?"
Yang Heshu shook his head with a smile and said, "Where is your Highness thinking, I am also a member of the Yang family, if the clan is exterminated, how can I stand here and talk to you at this time?"
He paused and then said: "However, Tang Shu may be exiled, but no matter what, there are always Empress and His Highness in the palace, and our father and son are outside the palace. Those who drift outside."
The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the letter paper he tore up in his hand, he was a little annoyed, "How could uncle and uncle come up with such a way, isn't this harming me and concubine mother?"
