I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall became more condensed.

Emperor Qingping frowned, and his originally indifferent tone was suddenly stained with displeasure: "What did you say, it was damaged?"

Xue Yan knelt on the spot and said flatly, "Yes."

He lowered his eyes, Jun Huailang couldn't see his eyes and expression clearly.But I saw that everyone in the hall looked at him with different expressions, and the concubines on the opposite side covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and began to discuss in a low voice.

Xue Yan didn't realize it.

"Do you know the origin of that jade arrow?" Emperor Qingping said sharply. "It was deliberately built after Taizu established the dynasty, using his weapon to conquer the world as a model. No second pair can be found in the whole world. If you say it is damaged, it will be destroyed?"

As he spoke, he slapped the faucet on the armrest heavily. The sound was not loud, but the whole hall fell into silence.

Even the queen, who was sitting beside her with a worried face, dared not speak.

Xue Yan didn't make a sound.

Jun Huailang sat obliquely behind him, and could see his straight back.He is only a 15-year-old boy, obviously in a pitiful situation, but he has an unstoppable energy, like weeds emerging from the cracks in the rocks, tough and wild.

He also didn't expect that the tyrant who killed innocent people indiscriminately in the future would take the blame for a trivial little eunuch.

Emperor Qingping didn't wait for his apology and response for a long time. He lowered his head and could only see the top of the young man's black hair.

Emperor Qingping was even more angry, and said: "You still have no intention of repenting at all? Destroying the imperial gifts at will and disrespecting the ancestors, I have to punish you today!"

Jun Huailang couldn't help but look at Xue Yan again.

Then, he heard Emperor Qing Ping say: "After the banquet, I will go and get twenty big boards. If there is another time, I will not spare you lightly!"

Everyone in the hall changed their expressions.

The court stick used for torture in the palace was extremely heavy, even a grown man would be maimed if he couldn't bear fifty sticks.Twenty court sticks is already considered a very severe punishment. Even if the eunuchs near the emperor made mistakes, they rarely received such severe punishments.

However, although the concubines and concubines looked different, they almost all had an attitude of watching the excitement.

The queen next to her couldn't sit still, and couldn't help saying something to persuade Emperor Qingping.But seeing Emperor Qingping's furious expression, he swallowed the words back.

"Your servant receives the decree." Xue Yan saluted.

Yi Jieyu who was next to her covered her lips with a handkerchief, and said flatly: "Go down after receiving the order, don't make your father unhappy here. The palace is no better than your Yan County, you have to be more guarded." Rules, the same mistake, you can't make it again in the future."

Jun Huailang felt that these words were harsh, he couldn't help raising his eyes, and looked at Xue Yan again.

As long as he is in the situation of any other prince in the palace, he can seek revenge with him without any grievances.But he happened to have this look that everyone trampled on at will, which made him unable to do it.

Bullying the weak is not what a gentleman does.

At this moment, Xue Yan stood up, and Jun Huailang unexpectedly met his gaze.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly felt a little guilty, and turned his eyes hastily.

He didn't see it, but Xue Yan's eyes paused on him for a moment, and the corners of his lips raised in a sneering arc.

The young master who has never seen the world.he thought contemptuously.

Just now on the road, he still stared at him arrogantly and coldly, as if he had provoked him somewhere, like a fierce and proud little peacock.

But Xue Yan also knew that he was born to be hated by others, and everyone looked at him in various ways, but none of them were kind.

But just now, the young master was still staring at him, with complicated eyes, but no malice, like pity, but also guilt.

Could it be because I didn't help you just now, and now I regret it belatedly?

Which of the sons of the rich and powerful in Beijing is not a human being, who is the best at pretending to be hypocritical, but he didn't expect to get mixed up with such a soft-hearted and timid glutinous rice dumpling?

She looks pretty.Without the domineering posture just now, his eyebrows and eyes are quite gentle.Wrapped in a thick cloak and cloak, she was supposed to be dignified and cold, but she avoided her gaze, feeling a bit cramped.

Xue Yan turned around and walked out.

He looked contemptuous, and thought rather badly, now that he is in the capital, he has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't have such leisure.If he was still in Yan County, he would definitely bully this little peacock, so that he would not even dare to hide when he saw him again.

-

The mid-autumn palace banquet was quite lively, the princes and nobles indulged in feasting, and the dancers danced in the palace accompanied by silk and bamboo orchestras, bringing out bursts of fragrant wind.

Jun Huailang and his parents were not in the same seat, so he took care of Jun Linghuan alone.Fortunately, his sister was very relieved, and she could distract him and pay attention to the movements of the princes.

Duke Yongning ranks first among the princes, and next to him are the seats where several princes sit.Now the emperor has a total of seven princes, the third prince died of illness, and the seventh prince was young, so there are five princes sitting on the seats.

The eldest prince is now twenty years old and has served in the court, and most of his colleagues are around him who came to toast.The second prince was sitting on the table next to him, Jun Enze actually left the table, and stayed by his side every step of the way, the two were whispering something.The fourth prince is Yi Jieyu's son, he looks like a gentleman, although he doesn't talk much, he is like a spring breeze.

Beside him, Xue Yunhuan was surrounded by a group of aristocratic families, toasting and complimenting him endlessly.Xue Yan was the only one around, there was no one around, and those aristocratic families who passed by him would turn around and look sideways, without saying much.

At this moment, the second prince suddenly spoke, and said in a loud voice towards Xue Yunhuan: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet has been cancelled, everyone knows?"

Jun Huailang saw that his smile was completely gloating, and he seemed to be sure of winning.

And the little eunuch standing behind him looked familiar, Jun Huailang took a closer look, that eunuch was clearly the one who took the lead in bullying Xue Yan just now, and was also the chief culprit for the damaged jade arrow.

...So it turned out that the second prince did it?

For a moment Jun Huailang admired his boldness.But after thinking about it, when Xue Yan first returned to the palace, the second prince gave him a blow, and if he thought about it, the second prince became more and more confident.

Over there, those aristocratic families don't have such well-informed news.However, they looked forward and found that there was indeed no utensil for throwing pots in the hall, so they all asked curiously: "There is really no one. Does the Second Highness know why this year?"

The second prince smiled meaningfully.

His appearance followed his plain-looking mother and concubine, with a square face and a pair of small eyes that looked wicked when they squinted and smiled.

"Because someone broke the jade arrow!" he said.

The disciples of the aristocratic families were in an uproar immediately, discussing in a hurry.Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan from the corner of his eye, only to see him sitting peacefully in his seat drinking tea as if he didn't realize it.

Someone asked: "How could it be broken? I heard that His Majesty rewarded that pair of arrows to some Highness?"

Another person said: "Yes, could it be the Fourth Highness?"

Although Xue Yunhuan, the eldest son, is a legitimate son, he doesn't like to read books. If he is both proficient in essays and martial arts, then he must be the fourth prince Xue Yunhong.

But only the fourth prince smiled faintly, and said, "Where do I have this ability, everyone thinks highly of me." After finishing speaking, he only focused on eating food, and had no further words.

A group of family members discussed again.

"Whose hands is that?" they asked.

The second prince showed a mysterious smile: "Those who have this ability are naturally the stars in the sky descending to earth."

The stars come down to earth?Interesting to say, there is only one star in the whole palace, and that is the evil star.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Xue Yan.

Xue Yan raised his eyes inadvertently, and quietly glanced at them with amber eyes.

Immediately, those aristocratic families looked away as if they had seen some monster, as if if they looked at him more, they would be struck to death by the thunder calamity sent down by the gods.

The second prince burst out laughing, and Jun Enze also laughed.

Feeling uncomfortable, Jun Huailang pursed his lips and turned his eyes away.

At this moment, Xue Yunhuan, who was sitting among the group of people, was too lazy to watch the second prince's monkey-like performance, and stood up impatiently.This little overlord always did what he wanted, turned around and left without saying hello to anyone.

He walked to Jun Huailang's case, buttoned the desk, and said, "Go, go out and get some air."

Jun Huailang naturally wanted to go with him, but Jun Linghuan was still eating right now, so he couldn't leave her behind.

Just at this moment, the fourth prince Xue Yunhong got up and walked over, with a gentle and peaceful expression, and said to Xue Yunhuan with a smile: "Sixth brother, let me go out with you for a walk. It's time to put the Kongming lanterns on later, and the prince can go to Taiye pool later Look for us."

Jun Huailang didn't have much impression of him, but he didn't have any dislike for him either, so he nodded and said with a smile, "I'll trouble you two to wait for me then."

Xue Yunhuan was eager to stay away from the foolish second prince, so he didn't refuse, and followed Xue Yunhong.

Seeing this, Jun Linghuan thought that he had delayed his brother's going out to play. He was holding a piece of cake in his hand, but now he stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth, and murmured, "Huan'er will be eating soon!"

Jun Huailang was amused by her, and was afraid that she would choke, so he quickly fed her some tea and asked her to swallow the cake slowly: "Don't worry, you will choke."

Said, but also gently along her back.He is ten years older than Jun Linghuan, and his second brother is far away from Yumen Pass. He has often taken care of his younger sister since he was a child, so he has been familiar with it for a long time.

But he didn't notice that this scene fell into a pair of indifferent amber eyes.

When Jun Linghuan was full, most of the seats for the officials' children were already vacant, and the seats for the prince were also all vacant.For children, banquets are boring, and the most interesting part of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is to go to the Taiye Pool to put lights on.

Jun Linghuan was also thinking about this, when she was full, Jun Huailang would pick her up and lead her to Taiye Pond.

The night was cool, and the two of them wore capes, and walked in the palace that was lit with palace lanterns. The hem of their robes swayed like a painting.

In just one stick of incense, the two of them walked to the Taiye Pool.

At this time, there were many people standing by the Taiye Pool, a full moon hung in the deep blue sky, and several Kongming lanterns fluttered towards the sky, reflecting the lights reflected by the lake, causing Jun Linghuan to whisper "Wow." " With a sound, he dragged Jun Huailang to the pool.

A group of people surrounded the pool, as soon as they approached, Jun Huailang heard the second prince's voice.

"Isn't that old five? Come here, let's light up the lights with the brothers?"

That voice had the air of a rascal in the market, even a deaf person could tell that this person was causing trouble.

Even if he is as gentle as Jun Huailang, he can't help but feel that this person is a little underwhelmed.
