Wandering Palace.
back yard.
"Your Highness, Duke Cao Guo is here to visit."
The maid in purple slowly came outside the pavilion, bowed respectfully to Zhu Yunxi who was sitting inside and said.
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, signaling the purple-clothed maid to step back, then stood up and smiled broadly at Li Jinglong, who was slowly approaching.
"Ninth brother."
After Li Jinglong came closer, Zhu Yunxi took the initiative to say hello.
The title Ninth Brother is what "Zhu Yunxi" and Zhu Yunwen have called Li Jinglong since childhood. Although Zhu Yunxi doesn't want to call him this in his heart, he can only accept it reluctantly.
He really didn't have a good impression of the originator who joined before him if he couldn't beat him.
Zhu Yunwen was really blind to regard such a person who regarded defeat as a habit as his confidant.
"I have met His Highness the Third Emperor Sun."
Li Jinglong bowed respectfully and said slowly.
Although he is older than Zhu Yunxi and is his elder brother by seniority, he is only Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted grandson, so his identity and status are naturally shorter.
"Between you and me, it would be too unusual to give such a big gift."
"You haven't been to Liuli Palace for a long time. Come on, sit down quickly."
Zhu Yunxi smiled and waved his hand, then invited Li Jinglong to sit down.
In fact, Li Jinglong had never been to the Wandering Palace several times before, and he followed Zhu Yunxi every time, so Zhu Yunxi's last sentence sounded more like a mockery.
"No, I'm here for the Second Emperor's grandson. It's been a while since the Second Emperor's grandson came to visit you last time when you were injured."
"I guess your injury has almost recovered, so the Second Emperor and Grandson want us three brothers to catch up on old times, and have already held a banquet in Jinxiu Palace, and asked me to invite you."
Li Jinglong shook his head and said with a smile.
"Having a banquet? But I'm still recovering from my injury, so it's not appropriate for me to drink."
Zhu Yunhe glanced at Hongyuan beside him and said with some embarrassment.
"Just to reminisce, it's okay not to drink."
Li Jinglong said slowly, with an expectant look on his face.
"Well, it's true that we haven't been together for some time."
"Can I bring my family?"
Zhu Yunxi hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile.
"of course."
Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Hongyuan and nodded.
"it is good."
Zhu Yunxi agreed, smiled and prepared to leave.
Hong Yuan on the side also heard what Zhu Yunxi just said, and immediately prepared to follow Zhu Yunxi.
"Not you."
"Zi Ning!"
But Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand to stop Hongyuan, and then waved to Zi Ning, who was playing among the flowers.
Hearing Zhu Yunxi's call, Zi Ning quickly came closer and saluted Li Jinglong.
"Don't forget what I told you."
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxi told Hong Yuan and left the Liang Palace with Zi Ning.
Looking at Zhu Yunxi's retreating figure, Hongyuan could not help but feel a flash of worry between her eyebrows. After a slight hesitation, she immediately left the palace secretly.
...
Splendid Palace.
In Zhu Yunwen's dormitory, a sumptuous banquet was ready. Zhu Yunwen was sitting at the table, his face slightly solemn.
In addition to the serving maid, there was another person standing next to him, it was Huang Zicheng, the minister of Taichang Temple.
"When Yunxi comes later, you know what you should say, right?"
Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"Your Majesty understands."
"But Your Highness, if you do this, I will worry about getting you involved."
Huang Zicheng respectfully agreed and said with some worry.
"It doesn't matter. Based on my relationship with Yunxi, he won't be angry with me. But if I don't express anything, if he finds out that the Imperial College matters are related to you in the future, it will ruin the friendship between our brothers. "
"Perhaps he already knows everything."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said meaningfully.
As he was talking, the sound of footsteps came. Zhu Yunxi had followed Li Jinglong slowly into the hall, and from a distance he had already started to say hello to Zhu Yunwen with a smile on his face.
"Second brother!"
"Yunxi, you're finally here, how are you? Are your injuries almost healed?"
"I have recovered. Thank you, second brother, for your concern."
"Come on, come on, take a seat, today is all about your favorite dishes."
The two exchanged greetings and sat down respectively. Li Jinglong also sat between them, but it seemed like he did it on purpose.
Zi Ning stood quietly behind Zhu Yunxi, looking a little nervous.
Although she knew that the three people in front of her were very good friends, they were not in the Wandering Palace after all, so they were not that comfortable. Those conventional rules still had to be followed.
"Second brother, did ninth brother just say that brothers are reminiscing about old times? Why is there an outsider?"
Zhu Yunxi turned his head and glanced at Huang Zicheng, who was standing silently by the side, and asked slowly, with obvious disgust in his words.
He has never had a good impression of Huang Zicheng, because he understands history and knows that a large reason for Zhu Yunwen's failure was due to the civil servants around him who only knew how to talk on paper. Among them, Huang Zicheng played a vital role. .
"What are you still doing?!"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Huang Zicheng who was standing there blankly, and said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zicheng took a step forward and knelt directly in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"This official is guilty, please punish me, His Highness the Third Emperor!"
Huang Zicheng saluted Zhu Yunxi with a regretful look on his face and said reproachfully.
"Which song is this from? What crime is Master Huang guilty of?"
Zhu Yunxi pretended to be stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Yunwen with a puzzled expression, and asked with a smile.
Zhu Yunwen smiled, but did not speak.
"Reporting to His Highness the Grandson of the Third Emperor, the previous incident in the Imperial College was caused by a maniac of a lower official who secretly instigated Du Qian to do it, just because he was worried that His Highness the Grandson of the Third Emperor would endanger the status of His Highness the Grandson of the Second Emperor."
"This matter was all done by Xianguan alone and has nothing to do with His Highness the Second Emperor. If His Highness the Third Emperor is dissatisfied, I am willing to die to apologize!"
Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunxi with a remorseful face, cupped his hands and said.
After listening to Huang Zicheng's words, Zhu Yunxi pretended to be surprised and turned to look at Zhu Yunzhen with a solemn expression.
Only then did he realize that today's banquet looked like a Hongmen Banquet.
"Since he made a mistake, he should accept his punishment. No matter how you deal with it today, I will not interfere. Everything is up to you."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunxi seriously and added, while observing the changes in Zhu Yunxi's expression.
After listening to Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but sneered in his heart.
Zhu Yunwen's words seemed to have given the initiative to him, but the implication was that he was already telling Huang Zicheng that I was wrong, and it depends on what you do next.
"Now that the second brother has come forward, what happened before is in the past. Besides, I have never thought of venting my anger on you."
"Get up."
Zhu Yunxi looked at Huang Zicheng again, smiled and raised his hand to signal, and said nonchalantly.
After hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Huang Zicheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhu Yunwen beside him hesitantly.
"Third brother, aren't you angry?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunxi and asked in surprise.
"Of course, not only is the younger brother not angry, he is also happy that the second elder brother has someone as loyal as him."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said seriously.
"The third brother can have such a big heart, and I am ashamed of my second brother. It's all because of my lax discipline. But the second brother can promise you that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Yunwen with emotion and said affirmatively.
"I believe you."
Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Since Third Brother has forgiven you, why don't you still thank me?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled, turned to look at Huang Zicheng, and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you to His Highness the Third Emperor for not killing me!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zicheng hurriedly saluted and said gratefully.
"Go down!"
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
Huang Zicheng agreed and hurriedly stood up to leave.
"and many more."
But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke.
Huang Zicheng was stunned for a moment, stopped hurriedly, looked at Zhu Yunxi, and then glanced at Zhu Yunzhen again, with a trace of confusion on his face.
"Third brother, is there anything else?"
Zhu Yunwen was also a little puzzled and asked with a smile.
"I said I forgive you, but why are you still so stupid when you say something?! One moment you want to commit suicide to apologize, and the next you thank me for not killing you."
"What? In your eyes, am I just a murderous demon?"
Zhu Yunxi ignored Zhu Yunwen, looked at the confused Huang Zicheng coldly, and asked word by word, his face gradually turning livid.
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but frowned and glared at Huang Zicheng...
