Crown Prince's Counterattack

During the Shangyuan Festival, the folk lantern market is very lively, full of traffic and crowds.In the palace, there is also a lively atmosphere. The exquisite palace lanterns are hung high on the stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes, shining brightly and brightly.Taking advantage of the joyous atmosphere of the festival, Yang Jian summoned several sons who had left the palace early to build a mansion into the palace. During the dinner, they sang and danced to promote peace.

Yang Guang sat on the seat with Yuan Concubine Xiao Shi, his eyes fell on Sima Yi who was sitting on the table from time to time, quite absent-minded.On such an important occasion today, Sima Yi naturally brought Yuan Hui to attend. During the meeting, Sima Yi showed his considerateness as a husband everywhere, which attracted everyone's attention and private discussions.Earlier, I heard that the relationship between the prince and the princess has improved greatly. At first I thought it was just a hearsay rumor. When I saw it today, I knew that it was worse than nothing.

Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo's eyes also often fell on the prince and his wife. Seeing such a scene, they were also very pleased about it. Just kidding, the scene was quite warm for a while, everyone's eyes shone brightly, and today's banquet gave them a lot of harvest.

Even on such an important occasion today, although Li Guang and Xiao Shi have changed into new clothes, compared to ordinary royal family and nobles, they seem a bit simple and plain. After a while, but today it seems that everyone's eyes are focused on the Prince and his wife, and it is no surprise to see the unusually plain attire of the Prince Jin and his wife.Yang Guang lowered his head, poured himself a glass of wine fiercely, and suppressed all the jealousy and resentment in his heart, which made Xiao Shi who was sitting on the side worry, but seeing Yang Guang's ugly face, Xiao Shi didn't mind either. Dare to speak easily.

Halfway through the banquet, the scene became heated. Yang Guang sat in his seat and kept pouring wine for himself, and the maid next to him also kept pouring wine for him.

"Go away!"

Yang Guang's violent and angry voice suddenly appeared in the warm conversation. Everyone only saw Yang Guang's eyes were red, and his clothes were messy, pushing a court lady to the ground forcefully.

Yang Guang, who had drunk a lot of wine, also felt a little dizzy at the moment. He was short of breath, his face was flushed, and he always felt as if his whole body was being scorched by fire, and his mood became worse and worse. The wine was poured on him, and Yang Guang's suppressed anger finally broke out at this moment.

Xiao Shi came to his senses and felt something was wrong. He just wanted to stop Yang Guang, who was furious, to calm him down, but unexpectedly, Yang Guang, whose mind was already a little unclear, pushed him away forcefully, and Xiao Shi backed away in a hurry. After a few steps, he was nervously supported by the maid behind him.Yang Guang's red eyes rushed to the maid who had fallen on the ground, punching and kicking continuously, and the sudden change of painting style made everyone present feel a little overwhelmed.Sima Yi glanced at it lightly, keeping his expression calm, the intelligent Yuan Hui glanced at Sima Yi, lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.

"Bastard! What are you doing?! Come on, hurry up and pull people away!"

After Yang Jian came to his senses, seeing the chaotic scene in the audience, he was immediately furious. He looked at Yang Guang with a hint of disbelief. He never thought that the second son, who usually looks gentle and elegant, would look like this when he was drunk. .As the saying goes, wine quality is like character, and he even reflected on whether he lacked understanding of this son.He doesn't care about the life and death of a court lady, but he lost his composure in front of so many people, he really has a "long face".

Dugu Jialuo was also shocked, she couldn't believe that this was her kind and gentle son.The maids on the ground had already been beaten to death by him, but Yang Guang still didn't stop, his ferocious look made people frightened, and the other palace servants in the palace looked at Yang Guang with strange eyes.

Those who can participate in the banquet today are all the royal family members. On weekdays, they still have a good impression of this good-looking King Jin. It does not prevent them from being optimistic about Li Guang.But after seeing this bloody performance, many people's thoughts have somewhat changed.

Yang Jian's shout seemed to wake Yang Guang up for a moment, his movements stopped slowly, Yang Guang's eyes became confused and dull, and his mind went blank.Seeing this was an opportunity, the eunuchs quickly stopped him and carried the bruised palace lady down. The blood on the ground was quickly cleaned up.

Seeing that the chaotic scene was finally brought under control, Yang Jian's livid face looked a little better, but looking at the clan clan who were discussing under the stage, Yang Jian's face suddenly pulled down again.

Yang Guang was dragged to his seat by the eunuchs, Xiao Shi nervously followed.Yang Guang only felt dizzy, his eyes were dazzled by the colorful lights in the palace, but his body was hot like a ball of fire, and a group of people surrounded him making him breathless, Xiao did not expect her As soon as he leaned over, he was pushed away forcefully by Yang Guang.

"My lord!!!"

When Yang Jian heard the exclamation of the eunuchs, he suddenly felt a pain in his head, and when he turned his head, his face turned black.

The others followed closely and noticed this side. After seeing Yang Guang's actions, there was an uproar immediately. The clan wives and court ladies all avoided their eyes, and looked over secretly with some itch.

Before Yuan Hui had time to react, she felt her eyes darkened, and a generous palm had blocked her eyes. After Yuan Hui was surprised, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

No one expected that Jin Wang Yang Guang, who had been quiet for a few minutes, suddenly undressed in front of the crowd, and some people watched with interest. This was much more beautiful than any singing and dancing.

But taking it off and on, some careful people felt something was wrong.

It seems that the inner garment under His Royal Highness Jin's coat is very expensive... Ice silkworm snow silk, warm in winter and cool in summer, is a rare tribute, not ordinary gold.His Royal Highness Prince Jin is the queen's son, no matter how expensive these things are, he can't afford them, but it seems that the image of this prince has been showing off all the time, but he is a simple and good boy who manages the house. Look at the coat he took off just now, it is just ordinary It turns out that there is something really hidden in the sky!It seems that the current crown prince is not the only one who likes extravagance. It turns out that His Royal Highness King Jin is not too far behind.It’s all just extravagance, but the purpose behind it is to make a frugal gesture to win the favor of the empress...

Many clansmen faintly saw the secret hidden in it, and whispered to each other in private, and now everyone looked at Yang Guang with deep eyes.Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo couldn't understand what the clan could see. They looked at each other and saw the anger and embarrassment in each other's eyes. They hated Yang Guang's disappointment and were shocked.

"Hurry up and pull this evil obstacle out!"

Yang Jian's face was ugly, and he pointed his eyes and said, this evil son really lost all his face this night, and what made him even more embarrassed was that his love for many years has now become a joke in the eyes of others, Dugu Jialuo The same is true, so she just watched quietly, and no longer pleaded with Yang Guang as before.

Hearing Yang Jian's order, the eunuchs also rushed forward, put on the clothes for Yang Guang, and led him out of the hall. Yang Guang was still struggling in a daze at this time, his face was flushed, and being imprisoned made him feel extremely uncomfortable , but he still doesn't know what happened.Xiao Shi also couldn't stop Yang Guang's actions, and could only watch all this happen, seeing the same eyes gathered from all directions, Xiao Shi also felt ashamed, and followed Yang Guang out of the hall, with a heavy heart.

Although Yang Guang had been taken down, the original festive atmosphere in the hall was gone, leaving only a room full of embarrassment.

"I made everyone laugh, come, I will toast you personally"

Yang Jian raised his wine glass, and everyone also raised their wine glasses one after another. Everyone consciously ignored what happened just now. Whether it was intentional or not, the harmonious atmosphere returned.

After the banquet was over, everyone rushed back to their respective mansions. Everyone could tell that the emperor and empress were in a bad mood tonight, so the sooner they left, the safer they would be.

After the dinner was over, on the way back to the East Palace, Sima Yi had a faint smile on his lips.

"Your Majesty, you seem to be in a good mood"

Thinking about what happened tonight, Yuan Hui had some confidence in her heart, but she was not afraid, no matter what His Highness wanted to do, she would help him.

“Not good but good”

Sima Yi took a deep look at Yuan Hui, and whispered softly in her ear, as if he didn't care what he revealed, or... he was confident.

Of course Sima Yi was not worried that Yuan Shi would reveal these words to others, not only because of her intelligence, but more importantly, the interests of the two had always been the same.

"No matter what Your Highness wants to do, I will help you"

Yuan Hui looked at Sima Yi resolutely, with endless determination in his eyes, this desire to give everything for his lover made Sima Yi startled.

"it is good"

Sima Yi smiled, as if agreeing or perfunctory, but Yuan Hui just smiled quietly.

King Jin's Mansion

Yang Guang slept for a day and a night before waking up. When he woke up, he saw his princess Xiao was looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"Where is this place? What happened?"

Yang Guang opened his eyes, he was still a little confused about everything around him, he clutched his forehead, he had a severe headache, like waking up from a hangover, his whole body was groggy.

"This is the palace! How are you, my lord?"

Xiao quickly helped Yang Guang to sit up and looked at him worriedly.

"How long has this king slept?"

"You've been sleeping all day and all night"

"one day one Night?!"

Yang Guang opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it.He recalled that he drank a lot of wine, but he was always a good drinker, and he would never be so drunk. He didn't even have the slightest impression of what happened after he was drunk, which made him a little suspicious.

"What happened after the king got drunk?"

Yang Guang asked nervously, he did not forget that he was still at the banquet.

"..."

"Tell me, what happened?"

Seeing Xiao's embarrassed and hesitant expression, Yang Guang immediately felt that something might be wrong.

Seeing that Yang Guang was already looking angry, Xiao had no choice but to tell him everything that happened at the banquet, and then she saw that Yang Guang's face became more and more ugly.

"I have already called the imperial physician to see you, but the imperial physician said... you have no signs of being poisoned"

After the incident happened, Xiao's first reaction was to call the trusted imperial physician over. All of this happened a bit weird. She and Yang Guang have been together for many years, and they have never seen him drunk to such an extent, but on such occasions, This kind of coincidence inevitably made Xiao's first reaction to be a conspiracy, but the result was beyond her expectation.

Yang Guang took a deep breath to calm himself down. All this happened beyond his imagination. He really felt that he was following someone else's way, but the imperial doctor said that no one tampered with wine. Yang Guang felt that his My head hurts even more.

He couldn't imagine the expressions of his father, queen and mother at that time, and what they would think of him afterwards, but the result is already like this, and regretting is useless, and Yang Guang has never been a person who complains about himself. He lay down again, closed his eyes, My mind was in a mess.

Seeing Yang Guang lying on the bed with no expression on his face, Xiao Shi didn't dare to disturb him, so he sat quietly on the side.

#******************

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Jin have arrived"

Honggu walked up to Dugu Jialuo, looked at the cold-faced person, and sighed, no one knew that such a thing would happen.

"Let them go, I don't want to see them"

Hearing the names of those two people, Dugu Jialuo's complexion sank, and there was still anger in her tone that had not yet dissipated. She never thought that her trust and love for so many years would be exchanged for the fooling of others. To blame, how much Dugu Jialuo liked Yang Guang in his heart, how much anger is in his heart now.

She really doesn't like others being too extravagant and advocates frugality, so she has a lot of opinions on how extravagant the eldest son is, but she never expected that the other son would use this to please her and act like this in person. This kind of deception annoys her more than living a luxurious life. In contrast, her eldest son seems frank and lovely.As for the second son's purpose behind doing these things, Dugu Jialuo didn't even dare to think about it.

"Your Majesty might as well give them a chance to explain."

Aunt Hong comforted her.

"No, let them go"

Dugu Jialuo showed sentimentality, and his voice was a bit tired, looking at the flowers and branches on the window sill, he was a little lost in thought, Honggu shook his head, and walked out of the palace gate.

Yang Guang and Xiao Shi were pacing outside the palace gate, their expressions were a little uneasy. When they saw Aunt Hong coming out, they rushed to meet her.

"Is the queen mother willing to see us?"

"Your Highness, please come back another day!"

Yang Guangxi's eyes immediately dimmed a lot. Now the emperor doesn't want to see him, even the queen mother who loves him the most doesn't want to see him.

"My lord, don't worry too much, the queen mother will always calm down."

Xiao Shi was also very disappointed, she walked to Yang Guang's side, tugged on his sleeve and comforted him.

Not seeing Dugu Jialuo, the couple were disappointed and prepared to go back home.

"Hey, isn't this the second brother?"

Sima Yi, who happened to come to pay his respects, suddenly called out to Jin Wang and his wife who were about to leave.

"Meet Big Brother"

Yang Guangqiang made a smile, he didn't expect to meet someone he didn't want to see by such a coincidence, but at this time, no matter how he tried to conceal it, everyone knew his situation at the moment.

"Is it because the queen mother refuses to see you... Also, what you have done is too much. No wonder the queen mother is so angry, but don't worry, as the big brother, I will definitely help you. After I see my mother, I will definitely help you." you begged"

Sima Yi looked sad, sighed, reprimanded Yang Guang, and did not forget to give a carrot when he was done.

This unexpectedly familiar conversation sounded ironic to Yang Guang's ears, but he couldn't turn his face in front of so many palace people.

"Then I would like to thank you, big brother. I will remember this friendship in my heart."

Yang Guang held back his anger and forced a smile, showing a respectful attitude, but the last four words are somewhat meaningful.

Sima Yi was not annoyed either, he had already gained the upper hand, so couldn't he allow others to speak harshly?

In the middle of the night, an unexpected visitor came to Prince Jin's Mansion.

A simple carriage stopped at the back door of the palace. A man wearing a black robe and covering his entire body came out of the carriage. Someone had been waiting at the back door for a long time, and brought him into the study respectfully.

The candle was already burning, and Yang Guang, who had been restless for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously when he saw Yang Su.

"My lord, why did this happen?"

After saluting, Yang Su didn't have time to take a sip of hot tea, so he anxiously asked why the original good form has become a mess now, even Yang Su who has a very good self-cultivation can't help but lose his composure.

The story of King Jin's drunken gaffe spread quickly, and His Majesty's attitude towards King Jin changed drastically, and even took back part of the rights of King Jin's subordinates. This kind of change really made Yang Su feel uneasy, so he took a huge risk Visit Jin Wang's mansion late at night to discuss important matters.He has put all his weight on King Jin, and there is no room for turning back. If he fails, he will be benevolent.

"I don't know why I lost my composure that day, but since the matter has already happened, there is no point in pursuing it. I saw you late at night to see if you have any ideas?"

No matter how regretful Yang Guang was, he didn't like his subordinates to question him.

"This matter is neither big nor small, but what you have to do now is how to win back the Queen's favor. If the Queen is willing to intercede for you, it will be easy for Your Majesty."

Yang Su has been in the court for many years, and he is most aware of Queen Dugu's influence on His Majesty. The two young couples share joys and sorrows. As long as the Queen intercede, His Majesty will look at the Queen's face anyway and give King Jin a chance.

It's just that after this incident, King Jin's image in the heart of the empress will definitely be greatly reduced, but there is no way to do it. Yang Su really didn't expect that King Jin, who usually seems to have extraordinary means, would make such a big mess. All advantages are now disadvantages.Another thing that worries Yang Su even more is that the news about the prince and princess has been coming in these days. Not only has the relationship between the empress and the East Palace been greatly eased, but more importantly, the power behind the Yuan family may have been exhausted. In the hands of the prince, this undoubtedly poses a huge threat to them.

As far as he knew, the crown prince was lustful, but the crown princess had an ordinary appearance, which was why she had been left out in the palace for many years. What happened to ease the relationship between the two.This item that used to be the Achilles' heel of the prince has lost its effect now. If the East Palace sends down a son-in-law, the emperor and queen who have always favored the son-in-law will undoubtedly give the East Palace extra points. Yang Su has already seen that this day will not be too far away.

"You're right, this king thinks the same way, but the queen mother doesn't want to see this king"

Yang Guang didn't know that Yang Su had come up with so many ideas in a short period of time. He was still immersed in his frustration. Yang Jian's acceptance of his power was undoubtedly an important signal. Now that his elder brother came from behind, he fell into a trap A dilemma.

"The empress is soft-hearted, and the prince is the queen's son. As long as you work hard, the empress will always see your sincerity."

"I hope so..."

It's just that there is not much confidence in Yang Guang's tone.

Sima Yi entered the inner hall full of joy, and was about to tell Dugu Jialuo the good news, but unexpectedly, he saw Jin Wang and his wife here, really surprised!But Sima Yi was stunned for a moment before regaining his composure.

Dugu Jialuo's complexion seemed to be very good. He sat aside Jin Wangfei and looked at Yang Guang without the initial anger. There was a constant smile on his face. Sima Yi was surprised by Yang Guang's methods. Time has coaxed this one well?

"I didn't expect the second brother to be here, too?"

"The younger brother is here to pay respects to the queen mother"

The smug look made Sima Yi feel really upset.

"Yonger, you are here, just right, Guanger, please tell your big brother the good news!"

Dugu Jialuo looked excited, as if he had completely forgotten the unpleasant things that happened a few days ago.

"Good news? What's the good news for the second brother? The eldest brother also wants to know."

Sima Yi had some guesses in his heart.

"That's right, the princess is pregnant again, that's why the queen mother is so happy"

Yang Guang seemed a little helpless, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, who asked God to help him like this!This child came too timely. Sure enough, when the mother heard the news, her attitude towards them was really different.

"Oh, that's really good news, congratulations to the second brother, but Gu also has some good news to share with you today..."

Sima Yi sighed, his eyes full of complacency.
