The carriage of the Yongning Mansion was already waiting at the door.
When Jun Linghuan finished eating the cakes, the maid from the room of the Shen family, Jun Huailang's mother, came and said that it was almost time to enter the palace. When Jun Huailang led Jun Linghuan to the front of the mansion, the servant at the door said with a smile that the prince and his wife were already on the carriage.
The servant placed the footstool for them and raised the brocade curtain. Jun Huailang first carried Jun Linghuan into the carriage, and then entered the carriage himself.
"Huailang came out with Huan'er?" Seeing him coming in, Shen shi in the carriage laughed.
Jun Huailang raised his head and saw his father and mother sitting in the carriage. His mother was smiling, and his father, Jun Chengyuan, was still indifferent and taciturn, which overlapped with the parents he remembered.
It's been three years... He hasn't seen them for three years since his father was convicted when he was 21 years old.
His father had always been an honest official and never committed corruption and party formation. In his previous life, he was inexplicably detained a huge sum of money for embezzlement and beheaded according to the law.
Jun Huailang knew that there must be yin and secrecy in it.
The clues he didn't find in the previous life... This life will definitely find out.
When he came back to his senses, Jun Huailang smiled and nodded to Shen Shi: "The boy just went to Ling Huan's place to have a look. Ling Huan's little bird died, and he was just sad."
Then, he turned his gaze to the boy sitting beside him, and nodded at him as a gesture.
That young man was Jun Enze, the same age as Jun Huailang, the child of his uncle. His uncle was banished to Lingnan, and he didn't want his son to suffer, so he fostered Jun Enze in Yongning Gongfu.
The relationship between Jun Huailang and Jun Enze in the previous life was also quite indifferent. Jun Enze was the companion of the second prince in the palace, but the second prince was the only one who followed the lead, and never paid attention to the children of the Yongning government.
Jun Huailang couldn't help but snorted softly in his heart.
The agency tried to curry favor with the second prince, but it was just to integrate into the circle of the princes and to draw a superficial scenery. But when it comes time to change the dynasty, if you follow the wrong prince, you will be on the wrong team.
Jun Enze couldn't figure it out, and Jun Huailang was not interested in talking to him.
There, as soon as Jun Linghuan got in the car, he plunged into Jun Chengyuan's arms. Jun Chengyuan has always been serious and reserved, but Jun Linghuan is the only one in the family who haunts him.
With a rare smile on Jun Chengyuan's face, he hugged Jun Linghuan in his arms and raised his hand awkwardly to straighten her sideburns.
The carriage swayed in the direction of the Imperial City.
Jun Huailang didn't notice that Jun Enze in the corner was silently looking at him.
The horse-drawn carriage of the imperial government is spacious and beautiful, with several tables and chairs inlaid with gold and jade, and a piece of splendid cream beams. Jun Huailang sat in the middle of it, his brows were bright, and Zhuo Ran was not like a mortal.
With the noble demeanor of everyone's children, he compared everyone else, making himself look like a fake placed on the side, relying on others, and being ashamed of himself.
Jun Enze turned his eyes away.
... What's so great, the second prince said, this kind of person is just pretending.
—
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Suzaku Gate on the west side of the palace.
In front of the Suzaku gate, there were chariots and horses, all officials and nobles who came to the palace for a banquet. A few people got out of the car, and someone drove the carriage down for them. A small yellow door ran over diligently and led them to the Yongle Hall where the banquet was held.
As soon as he entered the second palace gate, Jun Huailang heard someone calling him.
"Huailang! Huailang!"
Jun Huailang looked up and saw a group of eunuchs in front of him surrounded by a young boy in luxurious clothes. The little boy's brocade robe was woven gold, with a red gold collar around his neck and a white jade chisel gold longevity lock.
That was the sixth prince, Xue Yunhuan.
He is the only direct son of the queen, and Xiaojun Huailang is one year old. The Empress and the Shen family are close friends in the boudoir, and the Shen family often goes out of the palace, so Jun Huailang and Xue Yunhuan have played together since childhood.
The queen has a gentle temperament, and the palace servants insisted that Xue Yunhuan became a little bully, and no one dared to provoke him. However, Jun Huailang knew that this kid was very stupid, with a single tendon, and he was especially loyal.
When the previous king, Linghuan, entered the palace, Xue Yunhuan swore to God that he would definitely protect his sister. But within a month, Jun Huailang heard the news that he was killed by Xue Yan in the palace.
... The grievances between Xue Yan and him are really incalculable.
After a while, Xue Yunhuan had already run to them. He smiled and bowed his hands to Jun Chengyuan and Shen shi first, and said hello. When the two of them hurriedly greeted him, he quickly stretched out his hand and messed up Jun Linghuan's bun.
"Sister Huan'er, do you miss me?"
Jun Linghuan's hair was tugged by the complicated headdress, and he groaned in pain. He was so aggrieved that he pursed his mouth and stretched out his hand to hit him.
Xue Yunhuan grinned at Jun Huailang while hiding.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time! For fear of missing out, my eyes are about to pass!"
Jun Huailang smiled helplessly, tidied up Jun Linghuan's hair bun, and said, "I'll see you at the banquet in a while, why come here to wait for me?"
"Hey, it's too late to see you at the banquet!" Xue Yunhuan said. "I got a Dawan horse a few days ago, and it's the No. 1 prestige in the sky! I'm just waiting to take you to see it!"
Jun Huailang originally wanted to refuse, but when he met his bright eyes, thinking that he had never seen him before his death in his previous life, his heart softened.
Seeing that Xue Yunhuan didn't refuse, he was overjoyed immediately. He tugged Jun Huailang's sleeve and greeted his parents: "Aunt Shen, Grandpa Guo, you can rest assured and leave Huailang to me, we'll come as soon as we go!"
Jun Chengyuan and Shen shi naturally couldn't refute what he meant, so they had to tell them to be careful along the way.
Xue Yunhuan dragged Jun Huailang away.
In the palace, except for the emperor and the empress, no sedan chairs were allowed, and they had to walk all the way. The Royal Stable was quite remote, and the further the two of them walked, the quieter the surroundings.
The imperial city occupies an extremely wide area, with tens of thousands of palaces, and many remote and uninhabited palaces have been in disrepair for a long time. However, Xue Yunhuan praised his horse all the way, which was quite lively.
Just then, there was a quarrel on the path diagonally ahead of them.
"What do you have in your hand? Hand it over and let our brothers check it!"
"I'm talking to you, don't you hear me?"
Listening to the voice, there are several young eunuchs. The clamor was also mixed with the voice of a little eunuch begging for mercy, and I vaguely heard what he said about the royal gift, what could not be moved, and asked a few people to let him go.
Jun Huailang couldn't help but stop and look over there.
"What's the matter?" Xue Yunhuan, who only had his own BMW horse in his heart, didn't notice the movement at all. Seeing Jun Huailang stop, he also followed.
Through the lush trees, he saw a few people surrounding a little eunuch, pulling and grabbing the things in his hand. The little eunuch was so scared that he almost cried, and hid the thing in his arms.
"Return the royal gift? Just your master, can you get the royal gift? Don't you count?"
Several people laughed and pulled things out.
The little lady couldn't take care of it, and the thing suddenly fell to the ground, and with a clanging sound, there was a sound of jade cracking.
Immediately, several people couldn't laugh anymore, and they all froze in place. The little eunuch stared at Jade Arrow, shivering, and his lips were white.
After a while, the one at the head said loudly, "But it doesn't matter how many brothers! You broke the jade arrow bestowed by the royal family, and you are the one who lost your head!"
The few eunuchs seemed to have come to life, and they all responded.
Jun Huailang frowned.
These people clearly knew what the little eunuch was holding in his arms, and they were deliberately trying to find fault. Destructing the imperial gift is a serious crime of beheading. If no one else sees it today, this little eunuch's head will not be preserved.
Jun Huailang has never seen such a thing that would be framed and framed and killed. He raised his hand to push aside the branches blocking the path and walked straight forward.
Without the shelter of the trees, Jun Huailang was about to speak when he caught sight of another person.
He stood beside the little eunuch, staring coldly at everything in front of him. He was clearly wearing fancy clothes, but even the eunuchs didn't take him seriously. When a few people pushed the little eunuch, they deliberately hit him with their elbows.
Jun Huailang met those eyes.
Amber, like a deep pool.
Xue Yan.
Jun Huailang's eyes narrowed, and his expression suddenly turned cold. But amid the vigilance and hatred, he actually had a strange emotion.
He didn't expect to meet Xue Yan suddenly here, and what he didn't expect was that Xue Yan at this time was completely different from the tyrannical traitor he remembered.
His facial features already have the sharp and deep shadow of the future, but the barbarian blood makes his eyelashes especially thick and long, which makes his still green appearance a bit more gorgeous.
He stood alone, with his eyes down, and was deliberately pushed to and fro by several eunuchs without saying a word. When he raised his eyes to look at himself, his amber eyes were like a pair of deep frozen pools, completely lacking the vitality that a young man should have, like a lost wolf cub.
It made Jun Huailang look a little pitiful.
But in just a moment, Jun Huailang came back to his senses.
Since ancient times, there has been a debt and a debt to the owner. Even though he is pitiful, the upper and lower levels of the Jun family and Jun Linghuan have never provoke him. The enemy is still the enemy, he is pitiful, why should he humiliate the innocent like that
Jun Huailang remembered all kinds of past lives, and clenched his teeth.
Next to him, Xue Yunhuan had long been accustomed to Jun Huailang's nosy things. Seeing that Jun Huailang didn't say a word, thinking that there was someone in front of him that he couldn't afford to offend, he walked out with his hands behind his back to support him.
"Who is making a fuss over there? The prince has seen what happened just now. Don't think about it..."
Unexpectedly, just as the eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed, Jun Huailang suddenly interrupted him.
"Let's go," he said.
"...Ah?" Xue Yunhuan didn't react.
However, seeing Jun Huailang's cold eyes looking in that direction, his voice was as cold as never before: "Don't mind your own business, let's go."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Only then did Xue Yunhuan notice the person he was looking at.
"Xue Yan?" Xue Yunhuan quickly followed him. "You also know this evil star? You really shouldn't care. I heard people say that he killed his mother and killed King Yan, and even Yan County was lost because of him. If you mind his business, say Maybe the immortals will be punished... Hey! You wait for me!"
Xue Yunhuan's voice gradually disappeared from near to far.
The eunuchs who knelt down and begged for mercy did not expect that they would clean up their noble son at first, and they only looked at Xue Yan and persuaded the sixth prince to leave.
Sure enough, the master was right. This kind of noble person who is disliked by all noble people in the palace, even if it is the son of the dragon, can be trampled by the servants at will.
Several eunuchs stood up, looked at Xue Yan, smiled contemptuously, and left one after another.
Before leaving, an eunuch did not forget to bump into Xue Yan heavily.
After a while, the place returned to silence, only the sobbing sound of the little eunuch lying on the ground remained.
"You said a few words just now! The things bestowed by the emperor are broken in the hands of the servants, and even ten heads of the servants are not enough for your majesty to chop off! What kind of sins did the servants do..."
"It's so noisy." Xue Yan suddenly said.
His voice was cold and hoarse, his tone was gentle, but inexplicably intimidating.
The little eunuch stopped crying for a while and looked up at Xue Yan.
I saw Xue Yan indifferently looking at the direction where the two nobles disappeared. After a while, he lowered his eyes, looking at the broken jade on the ground, his eyes were cold and contemptuous.
"When His Majesty asked, he said that I accidentally broke it, and it has nothing to do with you." He said.
After that, he stepped on the broken jade and walked straight forward.
His back is straight, his steps are steady, and there is no embarrassment of being humiliated. Instead, people subconsciously want to surrender to his feet.
Passing through that intersection, Xue Yan raised his hand and mercilessly broke a branch that was as thick as an arm in the way, and threw it at his feet.
It was easy to do, but there was a deep aura of brutal killing.
It's like wringing off a head.
That is the cluster of branches that Fang Caijun Huailang pushed aside.
