The Favored Concubine: The Doting Prince

It was not until she heard the screams outside that Fan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and drank a glass of fruit wine. The sweet and spicy feeling in the wine was very nice.

Xianying had returned at this time, with an unsatisfied smile on her face. She was wiping the blood off her hands with a handkerchief. Her slender hands with distinct joints had blood-stained fingertips.

Xianying stood behind Fanyue calmly. Yuanye, who had been silent all this time, finally made a move. "What are you waiting for? Let's continue playing music and dancing. Don't let this little thing affect your mood."

This is just a small matter? Almost killed someone. The main hall of the Seventh Prince's Mansion was turned into a torture hall. But the Seventh Prince smiled and said it was just a small matter. What's the point of others caring about it? But there was no lack of whispers during the music.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you today? Why are you giving face to the Crown Prince?"

You should give the Crown Princess some face. After all, you once liked her."

"To be honest, I don't like that man either. When the war ended, all the military achievements were taken by him. With his ability to flatter others, he is not worthy of eating at the same table with me."

"But the young Crown Princess is quite amazing. She actually has such a person by her side. Her courage and generosity are much greater than her sister's. Her sister has been married to the capital for so many years but has not made any achievements."

"As luck would have it, he is also a prince. It is normal for him to have several capable people under him." The whispers of the crowd could not stop their laughter and toasting on the surface.

The dancers were still singing and dancing, and Ruan Ruan was in the mood, so she ran to the stage to dance with them. She didn't care about etiquette at all, jumping around, and Yuan Ye, who was sitting in the upper seat, applauded without any displeasure.

Everyone in the audience felt that the Seventh Prince was very abnormal today. He went to Lingjue City and brought back all the things that were not in accordance with the moral code there.

Only the soldiers under his command felt that this was the real Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince who was all too familiar, free and easy.

Shi Yue and others even used chopsticks to tap on plates and dishes as accompaniment, and the Seventh Princes' Palace seemed to be pulled back to a military camp in the desert.

The laughter of the crowd, whether real or fake, overshadowed the farce that had just occurred.

Just when everyone was feeling relaxed, suddenly a shrill cry was heard from outside, like the cry of some bird of prey. The sound was long and miserable, like someone stabbed a wound with a knife, which scared people.

Hearing the voice, Ruanruan was so scared that she crawled back to Yuanye. Yuanye reached out and held her in his arms, trying to comfort her.

Fan Qiu was also very scared, and Yuan Mo held Fan Qiu's hand tightly.

Xianying was not afraid, but subconsciously moved closer to Fanyue and put her behind her. Yuan Yi smiled at this time and sighed in his heart, trouble is coming.

As the shrill screams got closer, a strong wind was heard blowing in the yard outside, which blew up all the carefully arranged furniture and decorations, blew away the tables and benches, and injured many people.

When the big bird landed, we found out it was a majestic golden eagle.

The only demon lord in the entire Chenliang Kingdom who rides a golden eagle is Yan Chen, the great general who protects the country.

Although there are not many demon lords in Chenliang, there are still a few who were invited by the Seven Kings. Even Chi Yan did not show up at today's banquet, but hid himself and locked himself in the backyard.

It’s because there are so many people coming today, including many women, and we’re afraid of scaring them.

The only one in the whole venue who dared to let his monster out for a stroll and made such a brilliant appearance without any regard for others was this old general.

Although the group outside the door was not yet at the level of eating at the table, they were still dignitaries. They were eating well when their tables were overturned, but they showed no resentment and just tried to please the old general.

"Old General, you have worked hard. Here comes the old general," the old general walked into the main hall amidst the voices. Fan Yue glanced at him and was shocked.

She finally understood the elegance of those old men in history books who were still full of ambition and had great aspirations.

Although he is old, his hair is neatly combed, he is wearing armor, looks dignified, walks steadily, and has a burly figure.

One can even feel that when he was young he could have beaten a cow to death with one hand.

His eyes were blazing but his face was gloomy, and he was like the immortals Wang Yueran had seen on TV. He was emitting a bright golden light to protect his body. This was the only time she had seen such a light around someone.

"The teacher is here, please take a seat."

Yuan Ye put on a smile, stretched out his hand as if to invite someone in, and pointed to the empty seat on his left, but it was obvious that the old general looked displeased.

Yuan Ye has always respected his teachers. He was kind and amiable to the slightly older generals, and was even more respectful to his master. Whenever he came, he would greet him at the door.

This time, the meal had already started in the future, and he did not wait at the door in person. When he came, he did not even lift his buttocks or stand up to greet him, but just stretched out his hand.

"Which slave girl pulled out Zheng Qian's tongue?"

No one had ever thought that the old general's first words when he entered the room would be this. Hearing the word "slut", Xianying clenched her fists, making a creaking sound, and Fanyue also frowned.

"Teacher, come in and sit down first. There's no need to make a big fuss over such a person. He spoke rudely in my house, and he deserved to have his tongue pulled out."

Yuan Ye stood up from his seat but did not take a step forward.

The old general ignored Yuan Ye's words and looked around. Finally, his eyes were fixed on Xian Ying. He looked at the girl in front of him and felt her fearlessness and anger.

"She is mine." Fan Yue looked at the old general with a smile.

"Yours, who are you?" The old general's words were harsh, and everyone present felt uncomfortable listening to them.

Even if she no longer had real power, she was still the current Crown Princess and a guest of honor of the Seventh Prince Yuanye, while he was just a general. It was really too much to say that.

On the other hand, Fanyue still had a smile on her face, and she was not in a hurry. "I am Gu Fanyue, the Crown Princess of Chenliang."

General Yan looked at Yuan Yi beside him as if he had heard a joke.

"Yes, she is my wife, the Crown Princess of Chen Liang. I am the Crown Prince of Chen Liang, the heir to the throne of Chen Liang. Is the old general going to ask what Chen Liang is next?"

Yuan Yi leaned back in his chair, speaking in a calm and lazy tone. When he heard the word "Chen Liang", he clearly felt that the old general's momentum had weakened, although in his eyes Yuan Yi was nothing.

But he couldn't just confirm himself like this in front of so many people. Was he committing treason?

"You just let them do whatever they want and pull out Zheng Qian's tongue."

Yan Chen raised his head and glanced at Yuan Ye who was standing there motionless, full of anger and accusation. It was obvious that he did not care about the face of Yuan Ye, the prince.

"teacher."

Yuan Ye's face darkened as well. He put away his smile, but he still held back his anger and called him.

"You were the one who broke Shou'er's legs."

After saying this, the old general walked towards Yuan Ye on his own and stood in front of Yuan Ye's desk, as if the two were about to confront each other.

"Teacher, let's drink first and talk about family matters when we get back."

Yuan Ye sat back down. Zhu Feng hurried forward to help the old general to take his seat. The general waved his hand and pushed Zhu Feng away, still standing there. Others did not dare to breathe.

No matter what, Yuan Ye was the master of this palace. At this time, the old general seemed to have no intention of giving him any face, and treated him as a little kid doing horse stance on the battlefield, and scolded him whenever he wanted.

"What did Shou'er do? You want to break his legs."

Yuan Ye raised his cup and drank deeply. Shen Hui's accusation flashed through his mind. "I broke Yan Shou's leg. I have already dealt with the centurion he was promoted to. What did he do? Master, don't you know? He violated military discipline and bullied men and women. Isn't it enough for him to harm his comrades?

People are divided into groups, and things are gathered together. Don't you know who he is messing with? These people often hold great power and high positions. As for you, you turn a blind eye and do nothing, but you secretly support him. You will grow old and die, will you still give him your position as the general of the country? Is he worthy of it! "

General Yan was speechless after being questioned by Yuan Ye.

He also knew what kind of person his nephew was, a good-for-nothing who was greedy for life and afraid of death. But he was his only descendant after all, and the reputation of their Yan family depended on him.

"Aye, are you going to kill your relatives just because of this?"

The old general finally lowered his proud head, his eyes filled with pleading and resentment.

"Haha" Just when everyone below was quiet, laughter suddenly came from the corner.

Everyone looked up but they didn't expect it to be Gu Fanqiu from the Third Prince's Palace. Yuan Mo was also stunned when he heard the voice, and Fanyue stared at her sister in confusion.

"Who is laughing?" The laughter sounded like a mockery. At this moment, the old general's dignity was already crumbling. It seemed as if someone had slapped him in the face with this laughter.

"It's me, Gu Fanqiu. Sorry everyone, I'm drunk. It's just that I couldn't help it when I heard about sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice."

At this time, Fan Qiu's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were blurred, and he was still holding a wine glass in his hand. It was obvious that he had drunk too much. Yuan Mo saw Fan Qiu pouring himself wine and couldn't stop him.

"Sacrifice relatives for the sake of justice. You mean that the Yan family is related to the Yuan family." Fan Qiu's eyes were fixed on the old general, with an expression that said, "I'm just an out-of-control female drunk today, what can you do to me?"

"Ruanruan knows that the prince's surname is Yuan, and that man's surname is Yan. You two are not relatives." Ruanruan sat next to Yuanye and said innocently. When Yuanye heard this, he did not stop her, but touched Ruanruan's hair. He praised her and said, "You are smart. You learned it."

Yan Chen also felt that there was something wrong with this statement. Seeing Yuan Ye's attitude, he was even more furious. Still unrepentant, he shouted loudly. "You women have no right to speak when we talk."

"What right do you, a servant, have to listen to what the masters say!" Fan Yue's cold voice came over. The voice was not very loud and the tone was even very gentle, but it made people tremble in their hearts.

"No matter how great your contributions are, you are still a subject." Fan Yue looked at the old general coldly, without any fear and even with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

On the way here today, Yuxiao reported to Yuan Yi and Fan Yue that just before the banquet started, Yuan Ye sent someone to break Yan Shou's leg.

Then he revealed all the things Yan Shou had done. Fan Yue was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but she didn't expect that she would hit the nail on the head.

Yuan Yi also said that he didn't want to interfere in military affairs, but the news came one by one. Indeed, Chen Liang's army now has great hidden dangers.

At that time, the seventh brother was of humble origin and no one cared about him. Unexpectedly, General Yan, who was quite famous in the army at that time, trained him like his own son.

It can be said that he made the right bet and chose the right side. Unexpectedly, the Seventh Prince gradually became famous for his military exploits and had the potential to conquer the world.

The old general also took advantage of this opportunity to become a mentor to the prince, and he had the final say in the army, but he excluded dissidents and killed loyal officials. Although he had made great military achievements and was not afraid of strong enemies, he was just an ant that broke the dam.

It was better in the past few years, but it has become worse as time goes by. They want to cultivate the Yan family army and appoint people based on their relationship with them, regardless of their ability.

If one day Chen Liang's army was controlled by the so-called Yan's army, and he died and fell into Yan Tao's hands, it would be unbearable.

So when Fan Yue and Yuan Yi saw Yuan Ye's attitude in the morning, they knew that they were going to start a war today, so it didn't matter if they helped out.

Yan Chen was so rebuked that he kept silent. He just glared at the ignorant little girl in front of him. He couldn't say another word, because if he said anything more, it would be considered as a sign of rebellion.

But Yan Chen was also struck by these words and realized that what he was thinking in his heart was something rebellious.

After his death, the position of general would be given to Yan Shou, knowing clearly that he was not fit to be a general, and knowing clearly what would happen to Chen Liang's army in his hands.

But I was like a hot-headed person who had to give him this right and support him before I died. I knew that Yuan Ye was drifting away from me because of him, and I also knew that he was drifting away from his original ideals because of him, but I still couldn't cut off this family relationship.

It was more of vanity. The original Sai'an was fascinating. Now there are always people saying that the Yan family is the original Sai'an. It was in the midst of these compliments that he could not retreat.

Unable to retreat. Yan Chen's aura was so strong that the golden eagle hovering in the sky outside the courtyard made frequent noises and flapped its wings to fly high, making the people outside restless, as if it was about to break into the hall head-on.

At this moment, everyone huddled together, and Yuan Ye looked at his mentor with a complicated look. There was anger, sadness, and helplessness. Even at this point, his teacher was still so stubborn.

At this time, Xian Ying had protected Yuan Yifan and Yue Cuitao behind her. The golden eagle outside was indeed difficult to deal with, but if she fought to the death, no one knew who would win.

At this moment, a beast roared from the sky. The whole yard trembled. It was Chi Yan's roar. The roar gradually overwhelmed the cry of the golden eagle. To Fan Yue, this roar was like Yuan Ye, the young beast, roaring at his mentor, and also a declaration of sovereignty.

In just a moment, the old general seemed to have aged ten years, his sharpness gradually faded. His gradually hunched back was also distressing.

General Yan wanted to say something, but Yuan Ye took the lead to break the deadlock. "Teacher, you look tired. Why don't you go back today?" Yuan Ye did not try to persuade him to stay.

"Okay." This "Okay" was filled with reluctance and even resentment. Yan Chen looked around.

"Yuan Ye, you have grown up." He said this suddenly and pointed his finger at Yuan Ye.

It was as if the next sentence was going to be, you have grown wings and are no longer obedient. Yuan Ye was obviously stumped by the teacher's question.

Standing there, he felt like a young child who was punished to stand on a rainy night, feeling a little frightened and uneasy.

Although Yuan Ye was a prince at that time, he was not taken seriously. It was this person in front of him who gave him hope, but sometimes also gave him despair. Yan Chen treated him very harshly.

At this time, Yuan Yi stood up with the help of the handrail. He was tall and cast a faint shadow.

He actually stood between the old general and Yuan Ye, blocking the old general's aggressive momentum and his rebellious fingers.

"Even if he hasn't grown up, his surname is Yuan. Chen Liang is from the Yuan family. I hope you can respect yourself." Fan Yue didn't expect Yuan Yi to stand up, but she didn't need to guess Yuan Yi's thoughts.

He stood up to block it. Then she, Fan Yue, wanted to help. Fan Yue's voice was not very loud, but it was enough to ensure that everyone could hear clearly.

At this time, Yuan Yi's face was gloomy, not as calm as before. He stood there like a god, like a mountain.

Shi Yue and others were also a little surprised. General Yan’s words had already hurt their hearts.

Some of them were also looked down upon by the old general. They watched the Seventh Prince fight and kill, and also watched Yan Shou sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor. But most of them dared to be angry but not to speak out.

However, they did not expect that when their master was accused, the one standing in front of them was this despised Crown Prince.
