Chapter 474 Playing Chess with the Second Prince
Jun Moye's eyes lit up when he heard this. After searching for so long, he finally achieved some results. He quickly raised his hand to take the list.
"You finally found some useful information."
Qing Gu bowed when he heard this.
"This is all thanks to your foresight, Young Master, in leaving Qing Zhi and the others in the Imperial City to monitor the actions of the Crown Prince and the officials. This made our investigation much easier. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to obtain this list in such a short time."
Jun Moye looked at the names on the list. Although they were all low-ranking officials, these people who bought the official positions were distributed in many places, and they were all working for the prince, plundering the people and making a fortune.
"Give the Second Prince a message, asking him to come visit tomorrow."
Qing Gu bowed when he heard this.
"yes."
the next day.
The Second Prince came to the Bai Residence after leaving the court. Emperor Tianyuan had originally encouraged everyone to interact more with Jun Moye, so the Second Prince came to the Bai Residence openly.
"Cousin, it's rare that you would ask me out today. I rushed over right away."
Jun Moye had a smile on his face and held a few chess pieces in his hands.
"How about we play a game and then have lunch."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong smiled and sat opposite Jun Moye.
"Okay, ever since I played chess with my cousin last time, I've been thinking about finding an opportunity to play a few more games with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he made a move.
"Cousin, I will definitely beat you today."
Jun Moye smiled and placed a piece.
"It depends on your abilities. When it comes to horseback riding and archery, I'm definitely not as good as you, but when it comes to chess, you're always one step behind me."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong hurriedly placed another piece.
"The game hasn't even finished yet, cousin, don't be so sure. What if you lose to me?"
Jun Moye continued to make his moves.
"Speaking of which, you princes all come to my house. I've been feeling quite stressed lately."
Jun Moyong smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"It's because the Emperor values you, cousin, and we, your cousins, also want to be friends with you, so we've been running around more diligently. We're all brothers, cousin, so you don't have to feel any pressure. If anyone is blind and makes you unhappy, just use your brotherly authority to scold and teach them a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye looked up at him, then picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
"Uncle Emperor is interested in me now because of my father's kindness. However, Ayong, I was born in an imperial family. Even if I don't tell you some things, you will understand. As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers. Now that Uncle Emperor is here, I can live a carefree life in this imperial city.
However, if one day... the Crown Prince has always disliked us, and you are well aware of my relationship with him, I am afraid we will not be able to stay in this imperial city. Even if my health is not up to the task, I will be gone in the next three to five years. But my wife is still young and has a bright future ahead of her. She loves me deeply and is very accommodating to me. How can I bear to see her being looked down upon in this imperial city in the future?
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong hurriedly looked at Jun Moye and spoke.
"Cousin, if you leave, I'm afraid father will be very sad. Father really hopes that you will stay in the Imperial City, especially with your health. Staying in the Imperial City will allow you to get better care, right? As for the Crown Prince, I believe that he will understand and treat you well in the future."
Jun Moye turned his head and looked into his eyes when he heard that.
"How much do you believe this?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyong lowered his head feeling a little guilty and looked at the chessboard in front of him.
"Cousin, it was indeed the Emperor who asked me to persuade you to stay in the Imperial City. What will the Crown Prince do? Indeed, I have no choice, but now that I have entered the Bai Residence, I insist on persuading you to stay. If the Crown Prince truly disregards morality and goes against the Emperor's wishes in the future, I will confront him even if I have no more ability. This is my attitude towards you, cousin."
Jun Moye picked up a chess piece after hearing this.
"Among the royal family, the Fourth Prince is the most playful. You are the only ones left in the Imperial City. The Third Prince is a strong-willed man. His mother is dependent on the Queen, so he naturally sides with the Crown Prince. The Sixth Prince is weak and has always been bullied and looked down upon by the Crown Prince. But you always speak up for the Sixth Prince. People in the royal family are always chasing after positions and have long since lost the understanding of brotherhood."
Jun Moyong smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
"Power is something everyone loves. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, cousin."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye continued to place the chess piece and spoke.
"You're quite nice to the Sixth Prince. I've seen you speak up for him. The Crown Prince, others, and even some ministers in the court look down on him for his low status. Don't you look down on him?"
Jun Moyong smiled bitterly and spoke after hearing this.
"No matter who his biological mother is, he is still my father's prince after all. He has my father's blood in his body, just like us. He is also my brother. It is within my ability to say a few words for him. After all, he has always called me Second Brother, right?"
Jun Moye nodded when he heard this, with a tone of praise.
"You are a man who has a brother in his heart."
