Your Highness, has he stopped today?

"Sixth Brother, you are joking, how dare you not come to your birthday banquet?" Shi Yunjue strode over and said with a smile.

Shi Yunjing was too lazy to greet him with a smile, and said lightly: "In that case, fourth brother should take his seat."

Shi Yunjue took a look around the hall, but saw that several important ministers and uncles who were rarely seen in the court had already taken their seats.On his birthday that year, there was only a dinner party held in the Changqiu Palace, none of the imperial family and royal family came, at most a few courtiers who were close friends with his birth mother, Concubine Shu's mother's family.Where is it like Shi Yunjing, who can't wait to announce to the world that he is going to celebrate his birthday, and then the whole country celebrates it and amnesty the world.

They are both the emperor's own sons, so why is there such a big difference between the sons of the emperor and the sons of the concubines?

Shi Yunjue hid his jealous look, and said with a smirk: "Fourth brother is so lucky, the ostentation of this birthday banquet is almost comparable to that of the emperor's birthday."

This was obviously said with provocative words, Shi Yunjue thought that Shi Yunjing would be angry, but he just followed his words and said indifferently: "It's all arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and my younger brother never thought it would be so complicated .”

Although Shi Yunjing likes to be lively, he doesn't like such a big ostentation, not to mention that on such an occasion, people he knows and people he doesn't know are all here.It also needs to be flattering, maybe some adult will come to toast, and then use the sentence "I hugged you when you were young" to make it close.

If Xiao Hanxu hadn't warned him to make friends with important officials in the court and greet him with a smile no matter how bored he was, he wouldn't even want to come to this birthday party.

But he thought about it again, he didn't like such an occasion, maybe someone would like it, I'm afraid the one in front of him is.

The person in front of him quickly answered the conversation, and said with a smile: "Who made the sixth brother the son of Queen Wende? Just because of this status, we are naturally incomparable as brothers."

When Empress Wende was mentioned, Shi Yunjing gradually lost his expression.He doesn't like birthdays, and there is another important reason, that is, this birthday is also the anniversary of his mother's death.

Shi Yunjue deliberately lifted which pot which pot was left unopened, and seeing his not-so-good-looking face got his wish, he couldn't help smiling.Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said again: "By the way, this king has prepared a congratulatory gift for the sixth younger brother, and present it quickly."

The attendants bowed and presented a scroll, and when they opened it, the painting showed a lifelike plum blossom in full bloom in the snow, and a few petals fell into the snow and merged with the snow.The signature of the painting is Zhuan Sunhan, a master of painting in the previous dynasty. This authentic work is of great value.

"Sixth brother, do you still like this gift?" Shi Yunjue asked with a smile.

Several ministers passing by saw this painting and they all praised it. Some praised the wonderful workmanship of this painting, and some praised the fourth prince's brothers and friends for their willingness to part with each other to congratulate His Highness the Sixth Highness's birthday.

Lu Zheyu, who had just arrived at the entrance of the main hall, saw such a scene.

He just saw this scene and didn't know what happened. After asking the attendants who followed Shi Yunjing, and looking at the lifelike painting again, he finally understood.

That day, when Shi Yunjing told him about the past of Empress Wende, Lu Zheyu clearly remembered that the flower that Empress Wende liked most during her lifetime was the plum blossom.

Shi Yunjue stood there still complacent, but Shi Yunjing's complexion was very ugly, his five fingers clenched into fists, and he stood there without saying a word.

Lu Zheyu walked over, and under the cover of his robe, he held Shi Yunjing's clenched hand, and said in a voice only enough for the two of them to hear: "Your Highness, you must not act impulsively."

Under such reassurance, Shi Yunjing slowly let go of his hand, exhaled lightly, the haze on his face gradually dissipated, and put on his usual smile: "For letting the fourth brother cut love so much, my brother thank you in advance " Then he glanced sideways at the attendants beside him, and said calmly, "Hanging your head back in the main hall of Mingluan Hall, you must not disappoint fourth brother's wishes."

Shi Yunjue didn't expect that he would order his attendants to do this, he rubbed his nose and smiled: "It's as long as the sixth brother likes it."

"It's easy to say." Shi Yunjing sneered, "The paintings of Zhuan Sunhan in the previous dynasty are worth at least half a year's salary of the fourth brother. Shouldn't my younger brother cherish them?"

"..." Shi Yunjue was dumbfounded for a moment, so he could only smile awkwardly, and changed the subject, "If the sixth brother wants to thank me, why don't you have a few drinks with the fourth brother? It's time to congratulate you on your birthday."

Shi Yunjing turned sideways to make way, and smiled faintly: "Please, fourth brother."

Seeing that this matter finally subsided, Lu Zheyu breathed a sigh of relief.Shi Yunjing caught his little movement, glanced at him, and whispered as he walked: "Why, are you afraid that I will do something?"

"Is there anything His Highness can't do?" Lu Zheyu said, "I always have to take precautions before they happen."

Shi Yunjing sighed lightly: "In your heart, I'm just so disrespectful."

Lu Zheyu thought about it for a while, and said: "There is no trouble, Your Highness is already very modest with the minister."

Shi Yunjing smiled lightly and said nothing more.

After a while, Li Zhongren's sharp voice came from the door: "The emperor is here—"

Everyone watched, Emperor Cheng'an got out of the sedan chair and stepped into the main hall, followed by Concubine Shu, who was Shi Yunjue's biological mother.

Lu Zheyu subconsciously looked at Shi Yunjing, seeing that his expression was the same, she was relieved.

All the ministers knelt down and shouted long live the emperor. After Emperor Cheng'an sat on the throne and made some routine speeches, the banquet officially started.

The emperor is here, and the ministers are still a little restrained.After Emperor Cheng'an drank two cups, after a song and dance, the sky gradually darkened, and he left with Concubine Shu.After a while, several courtiers came over to toast. Sometimes Yunjing could be called by name, and some couldn't. At first he was a little impatient, but after being reminded by Lu Zheyu's light cough, Shi Yunjing raised his glass and pulled out One smile, one gulp.

In his eyes, those who came to toast him not only valued his status as a descendant, but also wanted to cling to the power of the Xiao family. How could any one of them sincerely come to congratulate him on his birthday?Thinking of this, Shi Yunjing couldn't help sneering.

More and more people came to toast, even those who didn't want to cling to power, watched other people toast, in order not to be called disrespectful to His Highness, they also came to toast one after another.

Lu Zheyu couldn't rest assured that he would drink one glass after another, drinking like drinking plain water, so he had to block a few glasses for him.

Shi Yunjing's drinking capacity is not bad, and she is still sober up to now, but her phoenix eyes are already a little bit drunk.

At this time, a man in a dark red robe came in front of him holding a cup, Shi Yunjing glanced away, only to realize that the man was his fourth brother Shi Yunjue.

"Sixth brother, would you like to have a few drinks with fourth brother?" Shi Yunjue smiled lightly, and sat on the seat beside him.

Shi Yunjing glanced at him, sneered, filled the wine glass, and the two of them touched the wine glass briefly, and then drank it down in one gulp.

Shi Yunjue was very satisfied: "Come on, come again."

After drinking another glass, Shi Yunjue still had no intention of leaving, and continued to pour the wine.Lu Zheyu stopped him, and said respectfully, "The Sixth Highness has already drank a lot. If the Fourth Highness does not give up, I will block this glass of wine, how about it?"

Shi Yunjue glanced at him, and chuckled lightly: "Sixth brother really doesn't want to continue drinking with brother?"

Shi Yunjing was too lazy to perfunctory him, and was about to say "seriously", but when he heard that Shi Yunjue laughed again: "It's a pity, father and mother just brought my mother and concubine back to the palace. I thought father, mother and concubine had left. This king will be able to drink happily with my sixth younger brother."

Hearing this, Shi Yunjing gradually suppressed her smile, filled the wine jug with her own hands, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Sixth brother is really good at drinking, come again!" Shi Yunjue was in a good mood, and filled his glass again.

When Yun Jing stretched out his hand to the jug again, Lu Zheyu frowned and held his hand: "Your Highness..."

Shi Yunjing was not moved by it, and shook off his hand expressionlessly and continued to pour the wine.

After the two of you came and I exchanged more than a dozen glasses, even Shi Yunjue couldn't drink anymore. His drinking capacity was not very good, but now his cheeks were flushed from drinking, and he was still muttering "come again". The subordinates were worried about the master. In the end, he talked nonsense, so he quickly helped him to the side hall.

Although Shi Yunjing's drinking capacity is not too bad, he couldn't resist being toasted by all the adults in turn just now.Those phoenix eyes with hanging tips also became ethereal at this time, and a slight blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Lu Zheyu called him softly.Shi Yunjing didn't respond, but just stretched out his hand to continue to grab the jug, but his hand was unsteady, the clear wine spilled on the table, the wine glass fell, and even splashed on his clothes.

Lu Zheyu couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to help him up to change clothes, when Yun Jing frowned and shook him off: "...Don't stop me."

The jug had already bottomed out, Shi Yunjing shook the jug, frowned, and glanced at Chu Heng: "Go...get the wine."

Lu Zheyu shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at Chu Heng: "Let Your Highness go to the side hall first."

"Yes."

The two of them helped Shi Yunjing up together, but fortunately, his wine taste was not bad, his face was flushed when he was drunk, his walking was unsteady, and he would not do any drunken behavior.

There are several wing rooms in the side hall of Yong'an Palace, and the two of them helped him to the closest one, and Shi Yunjing lay on the bed as if he had no bones.The attendant brought new clothes and was about to change him, but Yun Jing was already asleep.

Lu Zheyu sighed softly, then turned to tell Chu Heng: "Prepare the sedan chair and send His Highness back to Mingluan Hall."

Chu Heng responded and left the room with a few attendants.

Shi Yunjing fell asleep due to drunkenness, and slept very unsteadily, still talking in her mouth.Lu Zheyu sat beside the couch, leaned over slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Shi Yunjing seemed to have heard his voice, but she just frowned tightly, looking uncomfortable anywhere.

Lu Zheyu knew that he would feel unwell after being drunk, so he sighed, and was about to cover him with a quilt, when Yun Jing kept muttering, so Lu Zheyu had to listen to him, but heard him call "mother queen" .

Lu Zheyu was startled, pursed his lips slightly, and was about to get up to see if Chu Heng was back, when Yun Jing grabbed his hand.Lu Zheyu looked back, but saw that his eyes were still closed, and he kept whispering those two words.

Lu Zheyu shook his head helplessly, pulled his wrist away, Shi Yunjing frowned and turned over, a piece of silk fell out of his arms, Lu Zheyu felt suspicious, picked it up and looked at it, It turned out that there were two maps drawn on the front and back, and densely marked on the maps.

He was startled.

That is the defense map of Xingcheng and Chu Palace.
