Wanshou Palace.
It was still a little early for the dinner to start.
However, there were already many people waiting outside the palace.
This was a banquet hosted by Emperor Wen to welcome the Northern Huan envoys. It was a time to demonstrate the dignity of the Great Gan Dynasty, and no one dared to be late.
As Chen Luoyan expected, apart from the royal family, all the visitors were important officials in the court.
Court officials below the third rank were basically not eligible to participate.
"Sixth brother, what brings you here today?"
"I thought Sixth Brother was going to pretend to be sick again!"
"Is this Sixth Brother? Why don't I seem to have seen him before?"
"How old are you? Don't say you haven't seen him. We haven't seen your sixth brother very often. He is even rarer than a girl in seclusion..."
...
...
With the arrival of Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan, all the princes and princesses began to make fun of him. Even the thirteen-year-old Old Eight joined in making fun of him.
Facing the ridicule and sarcasm from the crowd, Shen Luoyan felt extremely aggrieved, but Yun Zheng was unusually calm, with no trace of emotion on his face.
"Sixth brother, please say something!"
The fifth prince Yun Ting looked at Yun Zheng with a joking expression, "I heard that you spoke very fluently in the court a few days ago, why are you silent again today?"
"That's right, Sixth Brother!"
The Eighth Prince smiled with disdain and said, "You don't even want to introduce your Sixth Prince's wife to us? Isn't that a bit bad?"
The Second Prince patted the Eighth Prince on the shoulder and said, "Don't embarrass your Sixth Brother. You know his problems. When there are so many people around, he dares not speak..."
Shen Luoyan couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled Yun Zheng gently.
Why don’t you say something!
They are princes, and you are also a prince!
You can't afford to offend me, but you dare not say a word?
Seeing that the heat was almost on, Yun Zheng looked at the Second Prince timidly, "Second brother, I...I want to tell you something."
"Speak!"
The second prince joked, "Be a real man, just speak up if you have anything to say! You are General Hu Lie now! Don't be so coy!"
Hearing the second prince mention Yun Zheng's title of "General Hu Lie", everyone couldn't help but laugh.
He shouldn't be called General Hu Lie.
He should be called the Suicide General!
"oh oh."
Yun Zheng nodded and said tentatively: "Second brother, please lend me some money!"
"ah?"
The Second Prince was stunned, and the laughter of the crowd stopped abruptly.
Borrow money?
This loser's first question is to borrow money?
"Second brother, lend me some silver!"
Yun Zheng "plucked up the courage" and spoke again.
The second prince's face darkened, "Sixth brother, why are you asking me to borrow money?"
"The expenses of the mansion are too high."
Yun Zheng pretended to be pitiful and said, "In a few days, Luo Yan and I will be getting married. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs will help us to arrange it, I am really short of money. I am almost out of the silver I was awarded. Second brother, please lend me some silver!"
"Old Six, this is where you're wrong!"
The second prince was unhappy: "I heard that when you moved into the new mansion a few days ago, you received a lot of gifts. You don't have any money now?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said bitterly: "Those are gifts from the ministers and brothers in the court. How can I sell them for silver? If it gets out, will it..."
"Why can't I sell it?" The second prince bulged his eyes. "When I'm short of money, I sell everything my father gave me as a reward! Sell it, don't worry and sell it boldly!"
Listening to the second prince's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
This is what I've been waiting for you to say!
You asked me to sell this!
If anyone dares to say that he sold those things to accumulate money for rebellion, I will let him come after you!
Yun Zheng laughed in his heart, but still looked embarrassed, "This is not good, right? Second brother, you should lend me some money, and I will pay you back after my wedding."
The second prince pointed at the other princes and princesses and said, "Anyway, I don't have any money to lend you. You can ask them if anyone is willing to lend you money."
After saying this, the second prince immediately ran away, fearing that he would be pestered by this plague god to borrow money.
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the other princes and princesses with a sad face.
Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, everyone acted as if they had seen the god of plague, and hurriedly left to avoid being pestered by this god of plague to borrow money.
In an instant, all the people surrounding them ran away.
Without these idiots, Yun Zheng suddenly felt that the air around him was a lot fresher.
"Isn't it embarrassing?"
Chen Luoyan was furious and said angrily: "You know they won't lend you money, but you still have the nerve to ask? I'm embarrassed for you!"
"I just can't do anything about it." Yun Zheng sniffed and looked at Shen Luoyan again, "How about you lend me some..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Chen Luoyan immediately cut off Yun Zheng's thoughts and glanced away.
If possible, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Just at this moment, Yun Li arrived surrounded by a group of people.
The third prince's party is now the most powerful in the court.
As soon as Yun Li arrived, he became the focus of the scene.
Yun Li immediately saw Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan standing alone on the side.
The moment he saw Yun Zheng, a sharp light flashed in Yun Li's eyes, and then he slowly walked towards Yun Zheng.
"Sixth brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much better!"
Yun Li looked at Yun Zheng with a wry smile and said.
"Isn't this all thanks to Third Brother?"
Yun Zheng changed his previous cowardly look and grinned, "Third brother, does it still hurt down there?"
Does it still hurt down there?
Yun Li's face twitched violently, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
After resting for a few days, the pain down there was gone.
But as soon as Yun Zheng said this, he felt a dull pain down there.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be getting braver!"
Yun Li stared at Yun Zheng sternly, then leaned close to Yun Zheng's ear and whispered viciously, "Don't worry, I will send you off myself!"
"Third brother, you are going to accuse me of treason again, right?"
Yun Zheng suddenly raised his voice, "Don't worry about this matter, Third Brother. I will tell Father that I will go to Shuobei to raise an army and rebel. I beg Father to give me a cup of poisoned wine! I don't need to go to Shuobei to die, as long as I don't die in your hands."
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Yun Li's face turned green.
He never expected that this coward would actually yell in public.
The next moment, everyone outside the Wanshou Palace looked over.
No one cared about what Yun Zheng said about going to Shuobei to rebel, and everyone thought it was just his angry words.
Rebellion, what can this coward use to rebel?
Not to mention giving him three thousand soldiers, even if he was given 30,000 troops, he would not be able to rebel!
Everyone's attention was focused on Yun Li's words that he wanted to kill Yun Zheng with his own hands.
Especially the adult princes and their followers, they were all extremely excited.
Yun Li said in public that he wanted to kill Yun Zheng. This could be used to make a fuss!
Yun Li suddenly shuddered and shouted angrily, "Sixth brother, don't talk nonsense! When did I say I wanted to kill you?"
Yun Zheng snorted, "Didn't you just say that you would send me off yourself?"
"You misunderstood!" Yun Li felt guilty and laughed dryly, "I meant that when I personally send you off from the Imperial City to Shuobei, Third Brother will personally send you off, not kill you!"
"Third brother, I am useless, but I am not stupid!"
Yun Zheng snorted and said firmly: "I kicked your buttocks and hurt you, will you be kind enough to send me away from the imperial city? You must want to kill me with your own hands to avenge me for kicking you!"
"Ahem... Sixth brother, don't say that!"
The Third Prince was so angry that he quickly said with a smile: "Third brother was wrong in the previous incident. If you kick me, we will be even! Let's make peace from now on, okay?"
"Really?"
Yun Zheng asked with an "innocent" look on his face.
"real!"
The Third Prince nodded: "How could Third Brother care about such a small matter?"
Yun Zheng was half-believing and half-doubting, and looked at the Third Prince eagerly, "If Third Brother lends me some money, I will believe that Third Brother really wants to make peace with me..."
