After buying what he wanted, Teng Yu randomly picked a coral tree and a calligraphy and painting as gifts. Although the price was expensive, it was too ordinary.

Seeing that he was so perfunctory, Yin Xu joked: "At least it's a birthday gift, and you are a prince, so you can't pick something to sell?"

"Why bother thinking about it, this hall already feels distressed by giving these. These silver can buy you a lot of jade."

"Well...that's true." Yin Xu answered naturally.

"By the way, when is your birthday?"

"What do you ask this for?"

"As the beloved pet of the hall, it is natural that you should make a big deal on your birthday, so as to show your status in the heart of the hall."

Yin Xu sneered, "No sincerity!"

He searched for Huo Tian's birthday in his memory, and found that it was not too difficult to find. Every year when Huo Tian celebrates his birthday, the government will definitely prepare a table of delicious food, all of which are his favorite meat, and there will also be a bowl of longevity noodles. eggs, so he himself was impressed.

As for Yin Xu's own birthday, he doesn't remember it at all. As a thousand-year-old monster, he spent more than half of his birthday in retreat. As time goes by, he will naturally forget it.

"Then whatever you want, as long as I have and can buy, I can give it to you."

"You said that!" Yin Xu patted Teng Yu's shoulder heavily, and responded with a smile.

He would rather have something more affordable than the reputation gained by doing a lot of work, for example, the jade sculpture downstairs or something.

Just "let's go, it's getting dark, let's go up to the fifth floor and have a look."

Teng Yu stopped him and led him downstairs, "There's no need to go to the fifth floor, it's not suitable for us for the time being."

"why?"

"Because... the fifth floor is dealing with the sale of human lives. When you want to assassinate someone, go up there and negotiate the price."

Yin Xu looked at him suspiciously, "Really? Does the government care about such an aboveboard business of buying and selling human lives?"

"It doesn't matter, outsiders only know that the fifth floor is dedicated to selling beauties, gentle and affectionate Jiangnan girls like water, girls from outside the Great Wall, and even overseas girls with blonde hair and blue eyes. Many dignitaries like to patronize it, whether it is yourself Keep it or give it away, you can always choose what you like.

There are very few people who really know that the higher-ups can spend money to hire killers. Anyway, there is no shortage of beauties in our house, so there is no need to go up. "

It was already dark when he paid the bill and walked out of Tongtian Pavilion. Yin Xu didn't expect that he would spend half a day like this, leisurely and carefree like a dream.

Perhaps it is because I have met too many people today, people from all walks of life, Yin Xu has a deeper understanding of the world of mortals, they work hard to survive, some pursue food and clothing, some chase fame and wealth, no matter what they are It is more peaceful and comfortable than the world of comprehension.

As the end of the new year approaches, the people who have worked hard for a whole year choose to rest in the last few days. Even though the sky is already dark, there are still many pedestrians on the street. Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Han Sen hurriedly greeted him, "Your Highness, the emperor called you into the palace, and the father-in-law who announced the decree has been waiting for almost two hours."

"Oh? Didn't the father say that he has no time to entertain Yun Heran today?" Teng Yu sarcastically said.

"The servant has inquired and said that it is General Yun who wants to meet you, so I will explain it to you face to face so that you will not be misled by rumors outside."

"Explanation? Tsk... You don't need to listen to know what he will explain. I went back to the person who passed the decree and said that the palace is tired today, and I will enter the palace another day to greet my father."

"Would it be...wouldn't it be bad if His Highness didn't go? The mother and son of Concubine Yun Gui will definitely be there, and I'm worried that they will arrange things randomly for His Highness when His Highness is not here." Han Sen said worriedly.

"Aren't they doing too little choreography? It's just those things that come and go. The hall is tired of hearing it, so let their family have a reunion meal."

Han Sen knew His Highness's temper, so he turned around and conveyed Teng Yu's meaning. Anyway, so many people in the palace knew the temper of the third prince, and it was not the first time that he resisted the edict and disrespected him.

In the palace, Emperor Dechang was not angry when he heard the return from the inner room, he smiled dotingly and said: "That Nizi, if you don't come, don't come, if you don't come, you will make me angry, go out and get rid of it." If you come back from an injury, you should take care of yourself these few days."

"The emperor is still as good to His Highness as always, Your Highness is blessed." Yun Heran sat on the lower left hand of the Emperor, and the Eldest Prince sat across from him. The two exchanged a knowing glance.

Apart from Yun Heran, Yun Guifei's mother and son, there were also the second prince and several first-rank officials present, all of whom were called by the emperor to accompany the guests.

Emperor Dechang smiled, "Yun Aiqing has been at the border for many years, and she finally came back and hid for a few days. I will call that Nizi over tomorrow. It's just a family that doesn't need to be too far away."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness. However, the Third Highness has always disliked you. I am afraid that he will listen to rumors from outside. I am just worried that he will be taken advantage of because of his young age."

"Brother, look at what you said, the third highness is 16 years old, not too young, Yi'er has entered the Sixth Division for training at this age, does the emperor say so?" Concubine Yun Gui sat next to the emperor, pouring wine and vegetables carefully, The service is orderly.

Although the content of what she said was not pleasant, but because of her calm tone, it was more like acting like a baby, and no one could hear the malice.

"Haha... That's true. Yi'er has been doing business since he was 15 years old. How can he be like that rebellious son who still only cares about having fun all day long."

The eldest prince smiled modestly, and replied: "I dare not be praised by my father. As a big brother, my son should take more responsibility."

Emperor Dechang glanced at his eldest son, with a smile on his mouth, but his heart was not very bright. He heard such words before, and he would feel that his eldest son was willing to work hard, but now he listened, it seemed like he was asking for credit.

"Your Majesty, don't praise him. He can do some small things. You see, the last time you went to Liuzhou, you not only failed to get things done, but also came back with a lot of trouble. You have to discipline him."

Concubine Yun Gui took the initiative to bring the matter of Liuzhou to the public, carefully observing the emperor's face, and tried to use this opportunity to dispel the emperor's wariness towards his son.

If her eldest brother hadn't come back today, they wouldn't have seen the emperor. At the same time, they ignored their mother and child for so many days, which was never before.

Moreover, in the past years when the eldest brother came back, all the family banquets were held, and only his family was on the table. This year, all the ministers were invited to accompany him, even the second prince. .

The emperor patted Concubine Yun's hand, and said earnestly: "He is still young, and he still has a long way to go. It doesn't matter if he suffers a little bit, as long as he knows where he is not doing enough."

A very ordinary sentence made the people present think deeply. Those who can be a first-rank official can more or less guess the sacred meaning, and naturally they can also hear the emperor's hidden meaning.

This is to warn the First Prince not to rush forward, and not to worry about the throne.

"You're right, the concubine taught him the same way, and learned a lesson from the pitfalls. Let's see if he dares to take it lightly in the future. He won't even know if he is tricked."

Concubine Yun Gui winked at her son and eldest brother, then leaned against the emperor, and lightly beat his thigh for him.

The eldest prince stood up with a face of shame: "Father, I know I was wrong. I just want to find out that auspiciousness as soon as possible and dedicate it to you. Who would have thought that so many things would happen, causing trouble to my father and all the ministers?" gone."

"Don't dare." The ministers knew the status of this person well, so how could they really accept his apology?

The emperor smiled happily, "You should be fined for drinking. Although the incident was not caused by you, it is still related to you. It just so happens that you will also participate in the investigation tomorrow, so I can find out what is going on with that stele!"

"I obey!" The eldest prince replied with his head bowed, but his mind started to move. His father probably didn't suspect him when he entrusted this matter to him, or he didn't intend to find out the truth at all.

He dared to do this before because he guessed that his father's fear of the Huo family was getting deeper and deeper, and he needed an opportunity to beat the Huo family well.

If it hadn't been for the attack on Teng Yu, father would be more satisfied with him.

Thinking of this, the First Prince felt resentful towards Yun Heran, feeling that he was too meddlesome and too self-assertive.

Although he is a junior, he is the prince, and he is the master on the road to the throne. Yun Heran should discuss with himself in advance about any actions.

He was thinking of finding an opportunity to have a good talk with Yun Heran, when he heard Emperor Dechang say: "In the past few days, envoys from various countries have been visiting one after another, and the matter of entertaining the envoys will be left to the second child. is that OK?"

The first prince and the second prince raised their heads together, both seemed to be a little shocked, but the former had gloom in his eyes, while the latter suppressed his excitement.

It is a great honor to entertain envoys on behalf of the emperor, not only to make friends with talented people from various countries, but also to show the emperor's trust and importance to the outside world. In the past, such good things definitely fell on the eldest prince.

"Father, don't worry, my son will do it with all his heart!" The second prince patted his chest and promised!

"Father, you are not worried about doing things, it's just that you have to change your temperament, don't fight if you disagree with me, and do bad things impulsively!"

It is well known that Teng Ji has a bad temper, and he also looks the most like Emperor Dechang among the three princes, but it is a pity that he failed to inherit the emperor's forbearing character.

"My son respects father's instruction!" The second prince responded with a grin, and at the same time gave the first prince a provocative look.

The eldest prince held the hands under the table heavily, with his nails piercing into his palms, barely maintaining his demeanor and said: "Second brother is upright and forthright, and he will definitely be able to chat with envoys from various countries, but when it comes to hospitality, my minister thinks The third brother is more suitable, there is no place in the entire capital that he is not familiar with, and he will definitely entertain the envoys with joy."

Compared to the second child who jumped up and down recently, the eldest prince would rather pass this opportunity to the third child.

How could the second prince fail to understand what he meant, and he expressed his concern appropriately: "That's right, the third brother is just at the age where he loves to play, and knows a lot more than his son, and the son is also worried that the envoys will find him too boring."

Emperor Dechang glanced at his two sons, and said lovingly: "When it comes to having fun, the third son is indeed better, but forget it, he didn't go to a decent place, which only adds to the jokes."

The first prince and the second prince agreed repeatedly, and Teng Yu vetoed it.

Concubine Yun Gui peeled a grape for the emperor, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it tonight? Brother finally came back, and you guys like to cling to state affairs."

"My concubine is still thoughtful. This kind of day should be relaxing and having fun." Emperor Dechang clapped his hands and told the dancer to come on stage, "Come on, come on, tonight is Yun Aiqing's reception banquet, I promise you not to get drunk Not return!"

All the ministers toasted and stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

After three rounds of drinking and three nights, the gate of the imperial palace has long been locked. Emperor Dechang ordered the court ladies and eunuchs to help the drunk minister to the side hall to rest, and he was about to go to the harem to rest with his arms around Concubine Yun.

Before leaving, Concubine Yun gave her eldest brother a wink, then helped the emperor who had collapsed on her onto the imperial chariot, gently stroking the emperor's chest with one hand, secretly rejoicing at what might happen next.

Although the emperor loves her, but at that age, although she is well maintained, she is not as delicate and bright as a concubine in her teens and 20s, so the days when the emperor spends the night with her are becoming less and less.

The palace is lonely, and Concubine Yun Gui is also a normal woman, so naturally she hopes to be favored by the emperor.
