Chapter 204: Who Can Be Heartless?

「Crown Prince older brother, this has nothing to do with you. 」

Yun Xiyue is kind-hearted, speaking up for Yun Xuanming.

Yun Xiyue also clearly understands that this matter truly has nothing to do with her Crown Prince older brother.

Yang Jun protects Yun Xiyue, and also does not speak.

He merely lowers his head, but his peripheral vision is attentive to everyone.

Yun Fengyun also coldly glanced at the people before him, then turned and walked into the crowd.

Now these children, except for Yun Xiyue, the others are worrisome.

Yun Fengyun favors Yun Xiyue, and this also has its reasons.

This child does not contend or grab, always being honest and dutiful.

But the others always engage in little tricks.

Yun Xiyue is pregnant, which leaves Yun Fengyun's heart with many tangled spots.

Yun Fengyun cannot escape his period of weakness, and in his view, this is also due to his being deep in affection.

If I personally eliminate Yun Xiyue's child, would my strength then be able to advance further?

Thinking of this, yet I cannot help but shake my head; I still cannot bring myself to do this.

But Yun Fengyun understands that there will always be people who, out of jealousy, will do things.

And perhaps I only need to think it through, be willing to make choices, in order to handle things properly.

The incident happened suddenly and ended quickly.

Gradually, the banquet seemed to return to normal, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Yang Jun continued to guard Yun Xiyue, while in his heart he constantly reviewed and speculated about what had just happened.

How exactly did such a thing happen, and who behind the scenes would seek to profit from it?

For the sake of this family, I must fulfill my duty.

The Crown Prince's family walks out, while Yun Mingyang is still crying, saying it wasn't him.

「All right, Yang'er, go with your mother. 」

Yun Xuanming comforted his son, then turned his head and looked far at Yun Fengyun.

Having been Crown Prince for many years, yet in the end I still cannot see clearly what this Father Emperor of mine is really like.

He withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to follow his wife and children.

Confinement, this seems to be the best outcome.

Now he finds the affairs around him a tangled mess.

The Father Emperor's period of heavy suspicion arrives each year, but this year there are simply too many matters.

Prince Pingxi has handed over military authority, and now the northern border is seeing movements again.

Chaos is about to arise, and he must first remove himself from the situation.

Only then can he avoid suspicion during the Father Emperor's period of greatest suspicion.

Having been Crown Prince for too long, it now seems that not only is being Crown Prince difficult, but many other identities are difficult as well.

Yang Jun, you, as Prince Consort, probably cannot escape this turmoil.

「Yang Jun, don't be afraid; when the time comes I will give you a push, just as I pushed Yang'er. 」

Thinking thus, Yun Xuanming's steps became firmer.

……

Yang Jun looked outside the hall; it seems the chaos has passed.

But only Yang Jun understands, amidst this tumultuous situation.

In the midst of this, everything is still just a beginning.

Great chaos is approaching; when it arrives, everything will become even more chaotic.

He couldn't help but direct his gaze toward Yun Fengyue.

Yun Fengyue also raised her cup, offering a distant toast to Yang Jun.

Everything is all ready!

A banquet, it seems the host and guests still enjoy themselves fully.

Yang Jun initially drank a little alcohol, but later he didn't drink a drop.

He has been guarding Yun Xiyue, striving to stay sober, so that danger does not occur again.

The banquet grew ever more lively; participants sang and danced, some began pitching arrows into a pot, while others chatted with each other.

Great Xia seems peaceful and prosperous; the fires of war on the border have always remained confined to the border.

The capital's nobles are all skilled in literary pursuits, and they pay no heed to other matters.

Some even began to propose composing poetry.

These nobles seemingly all want to seize the opportunity to show off, and of course they all began to rack their brains to compose poetry.

「Yang Jun, you also compose a poem! 」

Yun Xuanmo had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and he began to pull at Yang Jun.

「No, I won't. 」

Yang Jun refused, what's the point of making poetry with these people? It's unnecessary.

「No way, you can compose poetry; hurry up and make one. 」

Yun Xuanmo urged, wanting to pull Yang Jun up.

「Husband, just compose a poem. 」

Yun Xiyue also looked toward Yang Jun, full of anticipation.

Young Master Yang, why don't you also compose a poem?

Exactly, let everyone broaden their horizons.

Please, Young Master Yang!

Everyone spoke up, of course, all thinking Yang Jun couldn't do it.

After all, he's just a spoiled rich kid.

Everyone was waiting with the mindset of wanting to see Yang Jun make a fool of himself.

Hearing everyone's words, Yun Xuanmo raised his eyebrows, quite dissatisfied.

Yang Jun, just go ahead and compose a poem, let them see your ability.

Although Yun Xuanmo had drunk quite a bit of wine, at this crucial moment he still supported Yang Jun just the same.

Could it be that he can't?

Haha, isn't that normal?

Exactly, composing poetry isn't that simple.

Again someone spoke up to mock, and Yang Jun stood up.

He looked at those people with contempt, opened his mouth and said:

In Great Xia there is a beauty, peerless and independent.

One glance overturns a city, a second overturns a nation.

Who does not know that overturning a city and overturning a nation? A beauty is hard to find again!

When Yang Jun's poem came out, everyone was astonished.

Especially those who were still criticizing Yang Jun now widened their eyes even more.

In the shock, someone accidentally knocked over the cups on the table.

Some who still wanted to wait for Yang Jun to fail, then attack his officials, are now completely dumbfounded.

Turns out, the clown is oneself!

Yang Jun's poem is ingeniously conceived, and moreover comes effortlessly.

In all his actions, there is not the slightest affectation.

With such poetry, how could they still be opponents?

Yun Xiyue also wore a look of delight, her eyes fixed on Yang Jun.

At this moment, her heart was very excited.

Women are actually quite vain; in such a situation, Yang Jun's poem draws everyone's gaze to be on par with him.

Yun Xiyue couldn't help but shyly exclaim, throwing herself into Yang Jun's embrace.

The other women were all envious.

This is truly a good husband; listen to such a poem, and how many could do it?

Good poem!

Yun Xuanmo also looked excited, gave a word of praise, immediately raised his wine cup and took a big gulp.

With this Fifth Prince's action, others also reacted, shouting praise.

Having an outstanding brother-in-law also brings glory to oneself.

Yang Jun, another one!

Yun Xuanmo couldn't care about anything else, immediately shouted loudly.

Yang Jun also smiled, while in his heart he thought of his father, thought of the military camp.

Lying lonely in a deserted village, not grieving for himself, yet still thinking of defending the frontier for the country.

At night deep, lying down listening to wind and rain, iron horses and frozen rivers enter dreams.

One poem spoken, everyone nodded repeatedly.

Yun Fengyun also looked surprised, Yang Jun's sentiments actually had such a patriotic side?
