In the past at palace banquets, according to seniority and title, Jun Huailang would sit with Jun Linghuan. But this year, Jun Linghuan lived in Concubine Shu's palace, so Concubine Shu took her and sat down on the seat of the concubine of the harem.
Jun Huailang was quite quiet, but he was not used to having someone to take care of. However, Xue Yunhuan was chattering along the way, but it didn't seem deserted.
The two had just walked to the gate of Yongle Palace when a strong wind suddenly blew behind Jun Huailang. He couldn't dodge in time, and was suddenly turned by the man's elbow and locked his throat.
"Ha! Brother, we haven't seen you for two years, do you miss me?"
The clear and bright young voice, with two hoarseness, is like a young eagle circling in the grassland, with a vigorous and sharp vigor.
"...Xiaowu?" Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment, and then called out in surprise.
He actually forgot that although he did not come to the Qianqiu Banquet in his previous life, his younger brother Jun Xiaowu, who had traveled all the way to Yumen Pass, was here.
Jun Xiaowu is the second younger brother of his direct relative, and he has been out of temper since he was a child, and is completely different from Jun Huailang. In the previous life, because he was devoted to martial arts and his father did not allow it, he ran away from home at the age of twelve or thirteen, and only took a few servants and ran all the way to Yumen Pass.
Jun Huailang's mother, the Shen family, was born in the gate, and Jun Huailang's uncle was the guard of Yumen Pass. Jun Xiaowu went to his place, and Jun Chengyuan had to let him go and teach him to stay there for two years.
This winter, just a few days after Jun Huailang entered the palace, Jun Xiaowu came back.
Regarding his younger brother, Jun Huailang hardly dared to recall him in his previous life.
In the previous life, Jun Xiaowu returned to Chang'an and never went to Yumen Pass again. But he has never abandoned his martial arts practice. At a young age, he became the general of Jinwuwei.
Jinwuwei is the guardian of the emperor who defends the imperial city, and it is indescribably expensive. But in the previous life, when the army of the king of Yunnan came to the city, and the guards of Chang'an surrendered to the enemy, it was his younger brother who was alone and led 800 Jinwu guards to guard the city of Chang'an for more than half a month.
At that time, Jun Huailang's parents had already died, and he, who inherited Duke Yongning, personally went outside the city to collect the corpse for his younger brother.
He died on the city wall, with multiple wounds all over his body, thousands of arrows pierced through his heart, and he was nailed to the city tower. The surviving Jin Wuwei told him that General Jun was seriously injured in the last few days and could no longer stand, so he supported his back with the back handle of the halberd and directed his soldiers to defend the city. After a few days, the halberd on his back had a blood hole with deep visible bones.
Jun Huailang personally took the coffin for him and buried him. And the scene on the city wall that day, often entered his dreams, which made his heart ache.
Fortunately, in this life, nothing has happened yet.
Jun Huailang turned around and saw the young man who was holding his shoulders. Jun Xiaowu was smiling, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth and shallow dimples. He stayed in Yumenguan for two years, his complexion was much darker, and his eyes were especially bright, like a pair of shining stars.
Jun Huailang's eyes suddenly warmed.
The youthful young man in front of him is not the riddled corpse on the city gate in his previous life... That's great.
"I... I forgot about my brother, you are coming back in the next few days." When he spoke again, Jun Huailang's voice was a little choked up.
Jun Xiaowu was smiling, but when he heard his voice, he was startled: "Brother? What, did I hurt you just now?"
Jun Huailang quickly took a deep breath and held back the choking in his throat.
"… No," he said. "I just miss you a little bit."
Jun Xiaowu laughed: "I didn't expect that after two years of seeing you, your speech has become sour."
When Jun Huailang heard what he said, he also laughed.
All the things of the previous life have not yet happened, and he still has a chance to keep everyone close to him.
Next to him, Xue Yunhuan became happy when he saw Jun Xiaowu, and when he came up, he punched him on the shoulder: "Don't you want to go to Yumen Pass to be a general? Why did you come back in two years?"
Jun Xiaowu suddenly started fighting with him.
"You can also be a general when you come back! Xue Laoliu, let me try, has your martial arts regressed in the past two years?"
The two of them went to the hall arguing, with Jun Huailang following him with a smile on the corners of his brows and eyes.
So this palace banquet, the person beside Jun Huailang became Jun Xiaowu. The two hadn't seen each other for two years. For Jun Huailang, there was a life and death separation, so he had a lot to say.
Jun Xiaowu is also an outgoing person. When the banquet started, when the princes and nobles were feasting on their own, he couldn't sit up straight again. After a while, he shouted that his back was aching and his butt hurt.
Jun Huailang knew that his younger brother could not sit still since he was a child, not to mention such a complicated palace banquet. Just before the banquet, it took more than an hour just for the congratulatory ceremony. All the ministers had to sit upright and put them on Jun Xiaowu's body, which could be regarded as torture.
In the next life, he was quite condoning to the younger brother who died for the country in the previous life. He leaned on himself, but Jun Huailang didn't stop him, he just sat upright and let him hug him.
"If you are a general, you can't sit up or down." Jun Huailang advised with a smile.
Jun Xiaowu clicked his tongue impatiently: "That's too much trouble. Being a general is to lead troops to fight and serve the country with loyalty. What's the use of sitting like a bell?"
If he didn't have the memory of his previous life, Jun Huailang would definitely think that this kid was bragging and making excuses. But he knew that Jun Xiaowu could do it, and in his previous life, he did the same.
He smiled without saying a word, just listening to Jun Xiaowu chatting in his ear about interesting stories about border crossings.
In a deserted corner of the prince's seat, the air pressure was particularly low today.
Jinbao carefully prepared dishes for Xue Yan, while listening to all directions and watching all directions, paying attention to his emotions.
It is said that companions are like companions to tigers, and when they arrive at Jinbao, they are like serving a temperamental wolf. He was already astute, and after staying under the pressure of Xue Yan for a long time, he was also forced to speculate a little.
For example, today, the master's mood is particularly low, he can feel it.
As for why
Jinbao raised his eyes and saw that the master glanced obliquely forward for unknown times.
There, sitting there was the Prince of Yongning, the little living Bodhisattva who lived in the palace of Concubine Shu.
He was sitting with a tall and handsome young man at the moment, and the two were talking and laughing. The young man was still sitting upside down, leaning on the top of the prince, but the prince was not annoyed, but went with him, the smile on his face was gentle and indulgent.
Jinbao glanced at his master cautiously again.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly met those wolf-like, cold light-colored eyes.
"Lord... Lord..."
"What are you looking at?" Xue Yan asked coldly.
Naturally, he is looking at the person you have been looking at, Master.
Jinbao didn't dare to say that. He had a strong desire to survive, he smiled and said, "I didn't watch anything, the servants have never seen such a big scene, so naturally they are watching the excitement."
Xue Yan glanced at him coldly and turned away.
When Jinbao saw it, his eyes fell on Jun Huailang, intentionally or unintentionally.
Emboldened, he said cautiously, "His Royal Highness has a good relationship with his own younger brother."
Xue Yan paused and asked, "Brother?"
Jinbao knew that his words were too much to get to the point.
They are slaves, and the gossip is the most well-informed. He quickly said: "Yes! That is the younger brother of His Royal Highness. A few years ago, he went to Yumenguan by himself and went to find General Shen. He only came back two days ago. I heard that it was specially for His Majesty's Qianqiu Banquet."
Xue Yan hummed coldly, indicating that he knew.
Jinbao couldn't help but murmured in his heart. Why, this ancestor is so domineering, he even eats the jealousy of making friends
If that's the case, why don't you see others every day...
At this moment, Xue Yan suddenly got up from his seat.
"Master?" Jin Bao, who was kneeling in front of the case, quickly stood up.
"You don't have to follow." Xue Yan said. "I'm going out to get some air, don't bother me."
Jinbao was disliked and did not dare to speak, but Nuonuo agreed and returned to his position.
So, during the banquet, Jun Huailang looked up and saw that Xue Yan's seat was empty, only one Jinbao was waiting there alone.
Jun Xiaowu is much smarter than Xue Yunhuan. When he saw his brother open from the banquet, he looked there several times and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, who are you looking at?"
Jun Huailang paused and said bluntly, "Do you know that your aunt recently raised a prince by her side?"
Jun Xiaowu nodded: "I heard about it on the way back. I heard that my aunt doesn't like him very much?"
Jun Huailang nodded: "It's him."
Jun Xiaowu snorted and said, "It turns out that my brother was looking at him just now. What is he doing? Is the relationship between my brother and him still good these days?"
This made Jun Huailang unable to answer.
How is their relationship? It is clearly the relationship between killing the enemy in the previous life.
But the person in this life is quite confusing. He was in a bleak, pitiful situation, like an abandoned puppy. But at the same time, although he was taciturn, he was very stubborn, but he was a little more kind to him, so he silently repaid himself.
Instead, he made himself think of him involuntarily.
Jun Huailang hesitated, wondering whether to tell his brother about this.
Just then, a eunuch rushed in in a hurry.
"It's not good, it's not good, His Royal Highness!" He ran straight in front of Jun Huailang, gasping for breath.
Jun Huailang was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "The eldest lady of Yongning's palace is gone! The emperor, the queen and the concubine Shu have sent people to look for it!
Listen... I heard the eunuch who was serving at the imperial garden saying that the eldest lady disappeared after leaving the imperial garden with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince! "
