Chapter 394

"Second brother, has my brother-in-law arrived?"

The voice was gentle, even with a rhyme that made people feel like a spring breeze.

However, it sounded extremely harsh to Ji Yaofan's ears. He turned around with difficulty and saw seven or eight people sitting in the room. In the main seat in the middle was a young man in a four-clawed dragon robe with a face like jade.

This person is the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and his older brother, Ji Gan. He was very good to him when he was young, but everything changed when he grew up.

"This minister brother, pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ji Yaofan bowed deeply.

"Second brother! It's not in the court, why be so official?"

The Crown Prince's face was soft, and his beautiful eyes seemed to be drawn with eyeliner, slightly deep, making people dare not look directly.

But he said so, but he didn't mean to let anyone help him.

Ji Yaofan stood up by himself, took a deep breath, and turned to prepare to leave.

"Asking you a question?" Ji Gan laughed.

Ji Yaofan's body stalled: "What?"

"My brother-in-law, where is Yaoyue's husband?" Ji Gan repeated.

Ji Yaofan's body began to tremble slightly, and an inexplicable sense of injustice arose in his heart.

He opened his mouth and called him "brother-in-law," without examining the other person's character at all. Sister is not your mother's sister, you don't care, right?

He cupped his hands and said: "I don't know!"

"Oh?" Ji Gan smiled faintly, "Second brother, you must have tolerance. If you can't tolerate him, I will pick him up to my Crown Prince's Mansion and treat him as a guest of honor, so as to show the tolerance of our Great Zhou Royal Family!"

Which eye did you see that I couldn't tolerate him? What do you mean? Only you have tolerance?

Ji Yaofan opened his mouth to refute, but a middle-aged eunuch who followed him gave a wink, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "This minister brother accepts the teaching, this minister brother will keep it in mind!"

After speaking, he hurried away with his people.

The door of the Crown Prince's room was closed. The lights were soft, illuminating the Crown Prince's face exceptionally comfortably: "It's easy to provoke anger, he's just a child after all. Without an expert to assist, this kid is hard to achieve great things!"

The seven or eight people in the private room lowered their heads slightly, except for a square-faced man with a scar on his face, who was drinking alone.

Ji Gan looked at him: "Little Five, try not to contact people in the future, I want to use you!"

The scarred man said coldly: "This minister will go back and destroy his face to ensure that outsiders cannot recognize this minister!"

Ji Gan opened his mouth and laughed dumbly.

Ji Yaofan quickened his pace and went straight to his sister Ji Yaoyue's room. His body trembled even more violently, and his eyes were red. He felt extremely aggrieved in his heart, and he didn't know why he was aggrieved. In short, every time he saw the Crown Prince, he would feel uncomfortable all over.

"The Prince of Wu must not show such an expression, let others see it!" The middle-aged eunuch behind him reminded in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Ji Yaofan wiped the corners of his eyes, arrived at Princess Taiping's room, took a deep breath, and pushed the door in.

In the room, a small mud stove was burning, warm as spring. Ji Yaoyue was chatting with more than a dozen noble ladies, and the air was filled with a rich scent of powder.

Seeing him enter, the group of women saluted one after another: "Your Highness Prince of Wu!"

Saying that, they hurried away.

Ji Yaofan annoyed the group of palace maids who were serving him.

Ji Yaoyue smiled lightly: "Look at this appearance, what grievance did you suffer?"

Ji Yaofan tried his best to endure his anger, but in front of his sister, he couldn't help but say: "He is just the Crown Prince, what kind of prestige is he pretending to be? I won't be worse than him as Crown Prince. If I become Emperor in the future, I will definitely be more diligent and love the people than him, better than him..."

"Shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, he was scolded and interrupted by Ji Yaoyue.

Ji Yaofan was unconvinced: "I didn't say anything wrong!"

Ji Yaoyue slapped his face. Seeing that it was about to hit, she couldn't bear it and stopped, saying in a deep voice: "Today, the Prince of Qin, the Aunt, the Crown Prince, and the princes and nobles are all here. How dare you say such rebellious words? Don't you want your life? When will you grow up? Have you forgotten the twelve kings and thirty-six marquises who were killed by the one on Ziluan Mountain? Three of them were our own uncles!"

Ji Yaofan sat upright immediately: "I know."

Ji Yaoyue let out a breath and said to the small door behind: "Any servants nearby who might hear must be sent away!"

A gentle voice immediately replied: "Yes!"

"Knock knock..."

Someone knocked on the door outside the room.

Ji Yaoyue looked around, didn't keep any palace maids to serve, and had to say it herself: "Enter!"

The door opened, and three girls came in. They were Mulan, Jiang Xiaoyu from Sheji Academy, and another white-clothed, gentle, and beautiful woman.

Before Mulan could report, Ji Yaoyue looked at the white-clothed woman happily: "Qianqian? When did you leave seclusion?"

The white-clothed woman first saluted Ji Yaofan, then saluted her slightly: "Seen Her Highness Princess Taiping, a few days ago!"

Ji Yaoyue walked over and pulled her hand: "Yuan Dan Realm?"

Sun Qianqian smiled lightly: "Yuan Dan Realm!"

Ji Yaoyue couldn't help but praise: "Incredible, Sun Qianqian of Sheji Academy, twenty-two years old, broke through to Yuan Dan in one fell swoop!"

"Can't compare to the Princess!" Sun Qianqian saluted again.

"Hehe, someone ignored me directly!" Jiang Xiaoyu pretended to be angry.

Ji Yaoyue pinched her cheek: "How could I, we are besties!"

"Besties?" Sun Qianqian and Jiang Xiaoyu were both stunned.

Ji Yaofan and Mulan were also curious.

"Oh..." Ji Yaoyue thought for a moment, "A word I just learned, meaning good sisters!"

"Did you learn it from that soft-rice man?" Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"Soft-rice man?" Sun Qianqian asked curiously.

"Hmm, it's a long story, let me tell you slowly..." Jiang Xiaoyu pulled the few people to sit down, regardless of the anger on Ji Yaoyue's face.

"Qingyang Courtyard" was full of people, with princes and nobles everywhere, and dignitaries like dogs.

And on the vast "Huating Lake," there were flower boats everywhere, and the sound of zithers and lutes was constant.

These boats were not only the flower boats of major brothels, but also some families of big merchants who had no status and didn't care about their reputation to come and be elegant.

After all, as long as they were chosen tonight, the wealth of the sky would not be far away!

"Zuixin Pavilion's" flower boat was slightly short and inconspicuous, swimming slowly from the corner to the front. The singing girls and courtesans on the boat were nervous, only Mo Xianglian was calm.

A courtesan couldn't help but ask: "Xianglian, aren't you nervous? I've written a few poems, and I've always felt dissatisfied. Do you have any good poems?"

Mo Xianglian patted her chest and smiled lightly: "Tonight, we will be in the top three!"

"Ah?" The courtesans and maids were all shocked, "So confident?"

Mo Xianglian laughed: "The mountain people have their own wonderful plans, you just wait and see!"

As she spoke, she fell into contemplation.

"Giggle..."

In Princess Taiping's room.

Jiang Xiaoyu laughed until she held her stomach.

Sun Qianqian also covered her mouth and smiled gently.

Ji Yaofan had an embarrassed and helpless face.

Ji Yaoyue held her cheeks with both hands, dazed.

Only Mulan couldn't laugh, her face was a bit tight instead, because she felt that as long as she contacted Heng Xian for a few days, no one would laugh at him. This Miss Jiang Xiaoyu, the way she laughed, always revealed a bit of stupidity.

Just then, the dazed Ji Yaoyue suddenly asked: "Stop laughing, have you prepared your poems?"

Jiang Xiaoyu and Sun Qianqian became serious.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked outside and said: "Of course I prepared, but we should not have a chance to enter!"

"How so?" Ji Yaoyue asked.

Jiang Xiaoyu said: "The relationship between our Sheji Academy and the Imperial Academy is increasingly tense. This time, Wu Siwen and Geshu Daidao of the Boyang Prince's Mansion of the Imperial Academy directly provoked and invited our Sheji Academy's Senior Brother Luo Xuan and others!"

Sun Qianqian also said: "It is said that Li Jingfeng of the Shenwu Division and Situ Le of the Fengtian Prison also invited to fight!"
