Yun Yang's gaze flickered as he said, "Since Your Highness is in such a good mood, this lowly one shall accompany you. However, this young brother should be the host this time. Come, let us make a trip to Cirrus House, I'm more familiar with the place. "
Han Wufei hollered coldly, "How dare you! What kind of status does the Crown Prince have? Why would he go with you to such a filthy, despicable place filled with lust? "
With His Highness' status, if he were to really go to Cirrus House, he would definitely be impeached by the censor tomorrow.
No matter how clean Cirrus House was and how righteous it was, a brothel was still a brothel to outsiders.
It would not stop selling one's body just because one did not sell one's body!
However, Han Wufei's words were harsh to the ears.
Yun Yang smiled coldly when he heard that. "If Your Highness doesn't wish to go, or can't go, just tell me directly. Why do you have to be so disrespectful? I'm inviting Your Highness for a drink and I'm paying to be the host. It's all my sincerity. Am I not treating you with sincerity? "
The Crown Prince's brows furrowed slightly.
Another person beside him quickly stepped forward and said respectfully with a smile, "Perhaps Young Master Yun doesn't know this, but with His Highness' status, his reputation would be tarnished if he were to go to Cirrus House. Young Master Yun is not an official of the imperial court, it's normal that you don't know about this."
Yun Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you implying that I'm useless and have given up on myself? I'm even dragging His Highness down with me. Do you harbor ill intentions? "
Once he spoke, everyone was shocked. No one had expected Yun Yang's words to be so incisive and so merciless. The person who had spoken up just now flushed, stunned and speechless.
This was the sharpness of his words, but who would expose such words in front of everyone?
The crown prince's expression remained unchanged as he chuckled softly and said, "Young Master Yun, what are you talking about? I've long heard of Cirrus House's reputation. It's just that it's inconvenient for me to go there due to my status. Young Master Yun, you're free to come and go as you please, unfettered and unrestrained. That's true freedom. I can't wait to be envious."
Yun Yang said, "Your Highness's words show the magnanimity of a nation's heir apparent. Yun Yang is filled with admiration. However, the words of these two henchmen beside you are really infuriating. One of them speaks rudely, and the other even mocked that I am not a high-ranking official. I am not stupid, how could I not understand the meaning behind their words? It's just that Your Highness bringing these two people with you, forgive me for speaking bluntly, I'm afraid that it will only bring you trouble and not help you at all. The only benefit is that it will help Your Highness lower your status. "
Before they could speak, Yun Yang continued, "I'm speaking the truth. I've only interacted with Your Highness the crown prince twice, directly or indirectly, but I've been offended by both of them. Your Highness the crown prince is magnanimous, of course you don't mind, but I really think that these two fellows are spies sent to you by some force. Specifically offending everyone for you, Your Highness, you must be on your guard against this. Although you mustn't have the heart to harm others, you mustn't have the heart to guard against others! Who knows, someone else might take advantage of it! "
Once these words left his mouth, the smile that hung by the corners of His Highness' lips vanished completely.
This was practically a cannon on the entire map!
He could capture all the princes in one fell swoop.
This fellow's eloquence was one thing, but his ability to stir up trouble was not to be underestimated.
The crown prince sucked in a breath and resumed his warm smile. "Brother Yun, you're exaggerating. Since Brother Yun is not available today, why don't we meet another day? By then, I'll send an invitation to Young Master Yun's residence, Young Master Yun must do me the honor! "
His Highness the crown prince was having a hard time dealing with such an unscrupulous fellow.
If he continued to stay, he really didn't know what kind of terrifying things he would say in public.
Yun Yang said, "I didn't say that I'm not available today. I've just said that I'm the host. How is it not available? Your Highness has misunderstood!"
Many people around them looked at this fellow as if they were looking at a mental patient.
Almost everyone felt that this kid was simply a unique and unique weirdo of his generation!
His Highness the crown prince had already given you enough face and spoken so politely, but you actually said, "I didn't say that it's not available?"
This sentence was simply unimaginable.
Those from the crown prince's residence glared at him in anger. Misunderstanding, f * ck your grandma's misunderstanding!
His Highness the crown prince tried his best to maintain the smile on his face. "Then, what does Brother Yun mean?"
"It's fate that we've met. Since we're fated, how can we not have a good time together? Speaking of places like this in Tiantang City, there's no place like Cirrus House. Since it's not convenient for Your Highness to go with your original identity, you can always disguise yourself. Don't worry, I'm very popular in Cirrus House. I can definitely make Your Highness feel at home and enjoy yourself so much that you forget about going home and thinking twice …" Yun Yang invited enthusiastically.
His Highness the crown prince was utterly speechless as he looked at the strange expressions on the faces of the people around him.
So many people have heard it, is there any use in disguising myself?
And all that 'feel at home', 'enjoy yourself so much that you forget about going home', 'thinking twice' … Are these really the words that the only son of Marquis of Heavenly Clouds should say?
…
When His Highness the crown prince left, he felt that his mind was a little muddled.
He had long heard of this fellow's reputation as a popinjay, but he had never expected this bastard to have such a low EQ!
He was the legitimate son of Marquis Yun, but he was only at this level. He was truly unworthy of cultivation!
In other words, what the hell was he doing?
Han Wufei and the others who followed beside the crown prince were livid with rage.
As long as the crown prince gave the order, these people would turn back immediately and devour Yun Yang alive, even if it was in broad daylight.
His Highness the crown prince suddenly fell into deep thought as he walked.
He finally snapped out of his trance.
"This isn't right." His Highness the crown prince frowned and said in a low voice, "This Yun Yang … Although there were rumors of him being a popinjay, there weren't any bad records. Secondly, how could someone who could be acknowledged by Ling Xiaozui be an ordinary person? He's purposely angering me today, using this to confuse me and interfere with my judgment. "
"But why would he purposely anger me?" His Highness the crown prince was still puzzled.
Beside him, a scholar in his thirties who had been silent all this while said with a smile, "Not necessarily purposely angering the crown prince. Perhaps I should say that this Young Master Yun would have done the same no matter which prince he met today."
His Highness the crown prince was slightly enlightened, but he was still confused. "Please elaborate, sir."
The middle-aged scholar said, "There's only one intention for Yun Yang to do this. He wants all the princes, including the crown prince, to stop looking for him."
"He's purposely distancing himself from the royal family. He won't be involved in anything related to the royal family. "
The middle-aged scholar said, "His actions today have angered the crown prince and it seems like he's greatly offended Your Highness, but the crown prince won't really blame him; there's no grudge to speak of. After this, the other princes will know that even the crown prince was rebuffed when he took action personally. Yun Yang can then enjoy peace and quiet from now on. He can just sit back and watch the battle unfold …"
"Taking a step back, no matter how popinjay he is, he has Marquis Yun supporting him and Marquis Yun is His Majesty's sworn brother. No matter which prince gains power in the end, as long as His Majesty and Marquis Yun are still around, he can rest easy!"
The middle-aged scholar smiled. "Besides, his biggest motive for doing so is to pull Marquis Yun out of this whirlpool as well. This is the way to protect himself, and it is also the foundation of the Marquis of Heavenly Clouds' lineage! He looks like a popinjay, but he's actually very smart! "
"I see." His Highness was enlightened.
"However, since we know that this son of Marquis Yun is scheming …" The middle-aged scholar said with a smile, "It's a good thing that the other princes don't dare make a move, but the crown prince … can still pull Marquis Yun's entire family over with some tricks. Besides, this can be done through this Young Master Yun. "
The crown prince mused, "What should I do?"
"The crown prince said something very ingenious just now." The middle-aged scholar said, "You've said that you're going to send him an invitation. That's a stroke of genius."
The crown prince was enlightened, clapping his hands as he said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad."
Then, he frowned again. "But if there's another incident …"
"It's fine. Your Highness can just continue to send invitations. What he wants to do is his business, but how we respond to him is our magnanimity. " The middle-aged scholar smiled confidently. "It doesn't matter even if he's unmoved by force or persuasion. As long as Marquis Yun comes back and knows that his son has offended all the princes except for the crown prince, who has been showing goodwill time and again … what do you think will be Marquis Yun's reaction?"
He smiled with his eyes squinted and said, "There's a saying in the common people's home – to think highly of a child is to think highly of an adult. This saying applies to Marquis Yun as well. By then, even if Marquis Yun can't be pulled over, at the very least, Marquis Yun won't take the initiative to go against Your Highness the crown prince! "
His Highness was enlightened this time as he said with a smile, "Brilliant! Brilliant! Sir's plan is brilliant indeed, subduing the enemy without a fight. Sir is truly my right-hand man, my right-hand man! "
"I dare not, I dare not." The middle-aged scholar smiled faintly.
…
Yun Yang watched as the crown prince tried his best to maintain his composure and grace as he left. His gaze was deep, his thoughts unknown.
Then, he turned into the Cirrus House.
The middle-aged scholar was only half right about the reason why Yun Yang did so.
As for the other half …
…
"Staying with these so-called princes, there's only discomfort in my heart …" Yun Yang murmured in his heart, "Eldest is fighting a bloody battle out there, risking his life. Those clothes … should have been … his! Hmph! … "
Yun Yang was a little petulant and a little willful in this matter.
He knew that if he were to borrow the crown prince's influence and feign civility, it would be beneficial to his plan, but he was not prepared to correct his willfulness.
So what if I offend you?
I just can't stand to see you wearing those clothes! So what? Even if you're a good person, I can't stand it!
I'm being willful, so what?
