I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

The hall on the Jianzhang stage was as warm as spring, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on Yu Xun's back. He raised his head and saw Yu Heng sitting on the steps, his face unmoving, only a faint smile hanging on the corners of his lips.

To him, that man was always just a king, not a father.

He saw this clearly early on.

Yu Xun regretted his impulse just now. Why did you listen to your uncle's words and use your drunkenness to provoke Yu Ke to test His Majesty's attitude?

According to his uncle, Yu Ke was obviously a warrior who only knew how to lead troops in war, so he shouldn't have reacted so quickly.

He held the cup in his hand, his face turned red and white, and he felt that everyone in the entire hall was looking at him, as if they were watching his joke.

The food at the dinner was mediocre. It looks like there are many kinds, but the cooking method is very simple. There are only four kinds of cooking, stewing, frying and roasting. Compared with what Mr. Mo usually uses, the taste is not even the slightest bit worse.

Today was the Laba family banquet, and most of the people in the hall were his blood relatives, but the already warm Laba porridge that was served could not warm his heart.

A few days ago, a shadow suddenly fell. When Mr. Mo raised his eyes, he saw the seventh prince Yu Xun looking at him with furrowed brows, tight corners of his mouth, and a gloomy look in his eyes.

He foresaw that he might be challenged at tonight's banquet, but he didn't expect that person would be Yu Xun. He is more stupid than he thought.

The slender jade-colored fingers picked up the rhinoceros horn cup, and a faint smile appeared on Mr. Mo's face: "Yu Chu has met His Highness Seventh Prince."

Yu Xun didn't like his smile. From the beginning to the end, he never paid attention to the person in front of him.

So what about Prince Ru's grandson? His Majesty has never forgiven him for his inherent sins, nor has his name been recorded in the royal jade certificate. Even if he makes an exception and attends today's family banquet, it doesn't mean anything.

But the humiliation he suffered just now must be recovered elsewhere. At the moment, there is only one person in the hall, Yu Chu, who is the most suitable.

No matter how humiliated he is, everyone here will only be happy to see it happen, and it is impossible to say a word for him.

Including his aloof father. Back then, he was as ruthless and ruthless as a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves. He even killed his two great-grandchildren who were still young. There was no reason to spare the remaining evil offspring.

Your Majesty probably just wants to take this opportunity to see if there are any remnants of the violent prince's party from back then, so that he can close the net together.

So even if he did something to him, he would be doing his father a favor, which would be enough to redeem the points deducted from his heart tonight.

He thought clearly in his mind, turned around and took the wine jug from the little waiter who was following him, and poured it directly on Mr. Mo's head in front of the entire palace.

The drinks tonight are all Guihua Nong made by the palace. The amber wine dripped down, dripping down the ink-colored hair, moistening the jade-like eyebrows, eyes and nose, and seeping into the skirt of the clothes along the pale neck.

The dark blue Mai turned into a rich black-blue after drinking alcohol.

Yu Xun's voice rang out: "I know you. After being a traitor, you dare to enter this Zhangzhang platform in a grand manner. Where will the majesty of our Yu royal family be placed?"

The main hall, which was still a little noisy just now, fell silent for an instant.

There was a sneer on Yu Xuan's lips. He only regarded this as a small episode during the banquet and didn't take it to heart at all.

The same goes for Yu Ke and Yu Shen. They both knew what was coming. No matter how incompetent Yu Xun is, he is still the seventh prince with a high status and nobility. He cannot be compared with Yu Chu who came back from the market.

If he is sensible and sensible, he can just swallow his anger silently. If not, then His Majesty may not be able to tolerate him anymore.

Nie Xi, who was serving the emperor, glanced at Yu Heng secretly and saw that the holy face had no other color at all, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

The emperor's heart is hard to fathom, and even his attendants, who have often been with him in front of the palace for many years, are still hard to fathom.

In full view of everyone, Mr. Mo tilted his head slightly, closed his eyes, opened his lips slightly, and swallowed all the wine that slipped into his mouth.

When the whole pot of Guihua Nong was poured out, he opened his eyes, his face still had that calm expression, not even the slightest bit sullen.

"Thank you, His Highness Seventh Highness, for the wine." Mr. Mo's voice was as cold as snow-capped mountains and ice springs, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

He did not wipe the wine on his face, but stood up with wet hair, passed Yu Xun's side from the side of the case, walked to the center of the hall, the jade mountain collapsed, and bowed deeply to the ground:

"The sinner knows that his status is low and he is not worthy of entering this royal place. It seems that the person who picked me up falsely conveyed His Majesty's wishes, which caused the misunderstanding."

When he said this, both Yu Xun and others in the palace were stunned.

No one thought that it was His Majesty's intention to have Yu Chu attend the Laba Family Banquet.

But how is it possible? His Majesty has so many things to do every day, and he never bothers with such trivial matters. They originally thought that this was just a mistake made by the Shangyi Bureau during their busy schedule, or that because His Majesty summoned Yu Chu last time, they made a mistake and added this person in.

But if it was really His Majesty who added the person himself, then there must be a deep meaning. Yu Xun, who rashly took issue with this matter, was a little dizzy.

But that's all. Even at this moment, he still felt that his judgment was not wrong.

He turned around and looked at his father again, but saw that his face was still expressionless, and there was no sadness or joy in his deep and dark eyes.

Nie Xi, who was standing next to him, nodded slowly to him.

This is an admission that this matter indeed comes from His Majesty’s holy judgment.

Yu Xun's brain was working like never before. Those who don't know are not guilty. He is a prince, and even if he wronged an ordinary minister, the most he can do is apologize, not to mention that the person in front of him is just a criminal.

"Since this is my father's wish, then you must remember the great grace of God so that you can take care of it and never feel resentful again."

Mr. Mo was still kneeling on the ground and slowly straightened his back. He still had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care about Cai Cai's humiliation: "Yu Chu will remember the teachings of His Majesty the Seventh Highness and will be grateful for His Majesty's kindness all day long. .”

Yu Xun looked at his unfazed look, as if he had been punched in a pile of silk cotton. It was boring and he was too lazy to strike again.

He calmly returned to his seat, but Mr. Mo behind him did not stand up, but bowed deeply again.

"The sinner Yu Chu knew that his status was low and he was not worthy of being honored, so he left on his own. May my emperor be as happy as the sun and the moon forever."

He maintained this posture for a while, until the wine on his forehead soaked the gold bricks on the ground, and then he heard the voice from above: "Get up. Remember what you said. Nie Xi, pass the order."

The young eunuch behind Nie Xi took a bright yellow oracle in his hand, opened it and read: "I heard that Zeliang is not forbidden, and sinners are not born. Now I forgive the sin of the cruel prince's grandson Yu Chu, and he is given to the royal family. This jade certificate is for common people."
