Chapter 683

The East Palace was divided into the inner court and the outer court.

The inner court was a garden of flowers, and the people sitting there were all people with status and prestige.

In the middle was the Qiu Xia Pavilion, and the people in the pavilion were all members of the royal family.

Of course, there were differences in status among the royal family. The three children of Empress Mu were the crown prince Ji Wuji, the second prince Ji Wuyu, and the ninth princess Ji Wuyi. Among them, Ji Wuyi was given the title "Duanyang."

Yi Wanhu was undoubtedly the most beloved daughter of the Saint Emperor. The rest had the same father but different mothers. They were all born from noble and lowly servants, so there was naturally a difference in status.

Ji Wuji sat at the head of the table, and Ji Wuyu and Ji Wuyi were on his left and right respectively. The rest were arranged according to their mothers' status, and there were more than 30 princes and princesses in total.

The maids were as numerous as the clouds, interspersed in the small tables, pouring wine and serving dishes in an endless stream.

Apart from these, there were the attendants brought by the princes and princesses.

The attendants who could be brought to the Eastern Palace naturally had close relationships. They all sat behind their masters, and each of them had the treatment of a short table.

Ji Wuyu brought Xia Wanli, Liu Xiangxiu, and Gu Ying. There was a side door for the attendants to enter and exit.

Ji Wuyi put down her chopsticks and looked at Ji Wuji with sparkling eyes. "Brother Crown Prince, what do you think of today's Yellow Crispy Chicken Feet? They specially invited a chef from Fengyang City to make it. "

"Not bad." Ji Wuji was very calm. But those who were familiar with him knew that if he said "not bad," it meant that it was really not bad.

Ji Wuyu poured himself a cup of wine and said slowly, "It seems that only Big Brother can enjoy Jiu 'er's tenderness. Sigh, when will you let me, your second brother, experience it too. Otherwise, it's too unfair. "

"You're right, Second Brother. Ninth Sister has only been close to Big Brother since she was young. Aren't we good enough to you?" Another prince complained.

"Humph! We'll talk about it when you're ranked on the Heavenly Chen List! "Ji Wuyi said proudly," Only the strong are worthy of my respect. "

Ji Wuyu was about to say something when there was a commotion outside. He frowned and shouted, "Who's making trouble outside?"

A guard trotted up and said, "Your Highnesses, a guest in the outer court is fighting with the people from the Eagle Yamen!"

Gu Ying's expression changed slightly.

"Too bold!" Ji Wuyu's face darkened. "This is the Eastern Palace, not the downtown area. Imperial Brother, leave this matter to me. "

"Wait!" Ji Wuyi frowned. "What are the people from the Eagle Yamen doing in the East Palace? Do they think this is a busy city? "Brother Crown Prince, why are they here?"

"Brother Crown Prince, bring them in and ask them!" She said to Ji Wuji.

Ji Wuyu smiled and said, "Jiu 'er, you're really messing around. Today is Imperial Brother's birthday. Why bother him with such a small matter? "

"Jiu 'er, Ji Emperor," Emperor said sadly. "Ji Ji Emperor Prince is my birthday.

Ji Wuyu said with a sad expression, "Jiu 'er, Second Brother has always treated you well. How can you think like this? Could it be that I would harm my own big brother? "

"Did you hear what Brother said? Hurry up!" Ji Wuyi pointed at the guard's nose.

"Did you hear what Brother said? Hurry up!" Ji Wuyi said, pointing at the guard's nose.

The guard hurriedly climbed down the stairs, but not long after, he stumbled back up, "Your, Your Highness, that, that person is at the door, saying that he wants to see His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Where are the men from the Eagle Yamen?" Ji Wuyu frowned.

The guard broke out in a cold sweat. "They're all seriously injured. They've been taken away for treatment."

Everyone knew that the leader of the Eagle Yamen was Gu Ying. Gu Ying had always been Ji Wuyu's man. Didn't beating the men from the Eagle Yamen equal to beating Ji Wuyu?

The princes and princesses couldn't help guessing. Was this a show arranged by Ji Wuji?

"Bring him in." Ji Wuji still looked indifferent, as if nothing in the world could affect his mood.

The guard went to bring him in.

Then, Yan Li appeared in front of everyone in the attic.

"Yan Li?" Ji Wuyi was the first to shout. She was surprised and curious. Of course, she knew that Liang Wen had gone to capture Yan Li. She also knew a little about Liang Wen's strength. But she didn't expect that the person he wanted to capture would appear in the East Palace.

Ji Wuyu's face gradually turned cold. Behind him, Gu Ying and the other two changed their expressions.

Yan Li walked very slowly. After climbing more than a dozen steps, he was slightly out of breath. When he stood still in the attic, he cupped his fists and said, "I am Yan Li. Greetings to His Highness, Princess Duanyang …"

He slowly turned to Ji Wuyu with a faint smile. "Your Highness, the Second Prince."

Ji Wuyu furrowed his brows and turned to look at Lone Eagle.

Gu Ying's forehead was covered in sweat. He hurried to Ji Wuyu's side and whispered in his ear, "There was a fierce battle at Yuxin Lake. Liang Wen and his men are missing. As for the others …"

He gritted his teeth. "I'm going to investigate."

Ji Wuyu waved his hand for him to leave. Then, he smiled and said, "Brother Yan, why are you standing here? Why did I hear that you're a wanted criminal? It seems that the guards of the East Palace need to be reorganized. "

"Ji Wuyu, I was the one who gave you the invitation. Why don't you reorganize me as well?" Ji Wuyi said coldly.

"Jiu 'er, so he's your guest. Why didn't you invite him earlier?" Ji Wuyu's face was filled with helplessness and love. "How could Second Brother bear to hurt you? I'm just angry that those guards neglected their duties at such an important time. Since he's Jiu 'er's guest, Second Brother naturally can't say anything. "

"Royal Brother, what do you think?" He turned to Ji Wuji.

Ji Wuji looked at Yan Li and said, "Why do you want to see me?"

He was looking at Yan Li, and Yan Li was also looking at him.

This was the first time that Yan Li had seen Ji Wuji in person. The exquisite golden embroidered dragon robe showed that he was superior to others in terms of power and status. The exquisite tailoring accentuated his handsome figure. Even when he was sitting, he was not a bit shorter than a person.

He had an almost exquisite face, combining the characteristics of Ji Wuyi and Ji Wuyu. What was different from the two was that this exquisite face was filled with too much indifference, like an emotionless puppet. However, his eyes had a strange charm, like a cold pond that could be seen at a glance.

This person was Ji Wuji, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Star List. People called him Dao Wuji, and he was unparalleled among all the sabers in the world.

"I'm here to apologize to His Highness, the Crown Prince." Yan Li said with a smile.

"Apologize?" Ji Wuji asked.

"I received the Ninth Princess' invitation early in the morning. I was very happy, so I arrived early. I didn't mean to cause trouble."
