C207 Imperial City
Saintess advised him earnestly. Regarding this, Hsiang Yunyang nodded his head meticulously without any doubt.
Because he knew that his mother was doing this for his own good. After he ascended to the throne, everything would be settled and nothing unexpected would happen.
"Also, pay attention to your recent matters. Although you deliberately didn't tell me, I also know. Remember, what I know, do you think that you can hide it from your father?"
Before Hsiang Yunyang left, saintess said coldly behind him.
A simple sentence made Hsiang Yunyang's back instantly drenched in cold sweat.
He didn't dare to say anything. He stammered and agreed, then immediately left the Misty Sect. He didn't dare to stay for even a second longer.
In a flash, it was the agreed date for the second half of the year. Ye Tian packed up his luggage early that day and headed to Hsiang Yunjie's place.
When he arrived at the straw house, Hsiang Yunjie had already prepared everything. When Ye Tian arrived, his luggage was also very clean.
Although there was still a day's time before the banquet, Muguang City was still a bit far from the Imperial City, so he had to travel ahead of time.
Along the way, Hsiang Yunjie told Ye Tian about his brothers. There were a total of five of them. The Fourth Prince had died early, but it didn't affect the remaining few who were plotting against each other.
As the Crown Prince, there was naturally no need to say much about the First Prince, Hsiang Yunyang. The Second Prince, Hsiang Yunkong, was guarding the border. Although he was the current prince, he had long been given the title of West Suppressing King to defend against the unknown invasion of the foreign races in the west.
The Fifth Prince, Hsiang Yunli, and the Sixth Prince, Xianyun made concessions to each other as if they were the same person. They also followed Hsiang Yunyang and constantly suppressed anyone who opposed Hsiang Yunyang.
Among these princes, Hsiang Yunjie was the weakest. He was even bullied by Fifth and Sixth Brother, so he didn't dare to say anything.
Looking at Hsiang Yunjie in front of him, Ye Tian really didn't know what to say. For a prince to be able to do such a thing was also a miracle of a century.
He followed Hsiang Yunjie to the foot of the Imperial City. The city was tall and sturdy. The surrounding soldiers were all in high spirits, which made Ye Tian deeply feel the strength of the Chu Country.
If he could maintain this standard, Ye Tian was sure that the Chu Country could still thrive for a thousand years.
"Stop. Recently, the Imperial City has been heavily guarded. Non-residents are not allowed to enter! "
Just as they reached the city gates, Hsiang Yunjie's carriage was stopped by the city guards. After all, as a prince, Hsiang Yunjie's carriage was not even as luxurious as some wealthy people's carriages.
"I am Hsiang Yunjie, and I specially came back to participate in the trial. Could it be that you want to stop me?"
Hsiang Yunjie got off the carriage. Due to the inconvenience of his legs, he staggered in front of the city guards and took out the identity golden seal that only princes had.
"I dare not. Since it is the Third Highness, please enter the city. We are following orders, and we hope that Your Highness will not blame us!"
The city guards immediately made way, but even if Hsiang Yunjie did not show the golden seal, he could tell his identity just by looking at his legs.
Because there was a trial in the royal family, the imperial city had been heavily guarded recently to prevent any accidents from happening at this time, making it easier to manage.
After entering the city, Ye Tian found out that the imperial city's prosperity was truly unique. Not only was this place luxurious, but every inch of land was worth an inch of gold!
Currently, the Ye family might be the number one family in Muguang City, but if they entered the imperial city, they could only be considered as second-rate.
Many families that had been passed down for thousands of years were deeply rooted in their roots. Their influence was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if the Ye family wanted to enter the Imperial City, it would be impossible for them to do so in their current state.
However, what Ye Tian didn't expect was that Hsiang Yunjie actually arranged for him to stay in the guest house. One should know that there was at least a courtyard for guest chamberlains, and some of them even stayed in the prince's residence.
"Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry. My residence is ten miles away from the Imperial City. We can't do such a thing. Because of this, I'm staying in the guest house as well!"
Hsiang Yunjie scratched his head in embarrassment, which made Ye Tian feel that it was meaningless to pretend that this prince wasn't serious.
The other princes' residences were all in the Imperial City, but Hsiang Yunjie was placed outside. It was hard to say that they were estranged from each other, but they really didn't take this Third Prince seriously.
"Third Highness. If it really doesn't work out, then let's not be so vain as to have the name of the ancestral temple. Come back with me now. When we arrive at the Muguang City, I will give you 20% of the shares of the Ye family's business. You will be more carefree than you are now! "1
Ye Tian waved his hand casually. One should know that the Ye family's business in the Muguang City now had a daily profit of nearly 10,000 Vast Essence Coin.
If Hsiang Yunjie was given 20% of the profits, he would be able to wake up laughing even in his dreams if he were to give such a good thing to someone else.
"I have never stayed here for those false reputations. It's just a useless leather bag. A hundred years later, I will be in a temple or in the wilderness where corpses are exposed. It doesn't make much of a difference to me..."
Speaking up to this point, Hsiang Yunjie was very calm. There was nothing similar to the Prince Letian that Ye Tian had seen before.
"The reason why I stayed in the Imperial City was to find the truth about my mother's death!"
Hsiang Yunjie looked at Ye Tian resolutely. The Qi on his body instantly rose, as if he was going to attack.
However, in just a moment, Hsiang Yunjie returned to normal. He apologized in embarrassment, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry. Talking about the past makes me unable to control myself. I hope you can forgive me!"
Ye Tian shook his head. He could tell that such a thing was definitely not normal. However, if Hsiang Yunjie did not tell him, Ye Tian would not ask about it.
In the evening, Hsiang Yunjie invited Ye Tian to a restaurant, but seeing Hsiang Yunjie's attitude towards the luxurious restaurants around him made Ye Tian feel funny in his heart.
After that, Hsiang Yunjie followed his follower to ask for money to treat Ye Tian to a meal. Ye Tian could only stop him immediately!
"Don't, don't, don't. Your Highness, I can't afford to do this. This time, I'll be the host. If Your Highness really has some benefits in the future, just don't forget about me!"
Money was not a big problem for Ye Tian now. This time, Ye Tian also came out with hundreds of thousands of Vast Essence Coins.
After all, he knew that the Third Prince wasn't a rich man. Ye Tian was afraid that he would make a mistake in some segment. If he made a fool of himself at this time, he wouldn't need to participate in the next trial.
Ye Tian chose a high-end restaurant and went in to have a good meal. Then, he followed Hsiang Yunjie out.
However, just as he walked on the road, a sharp voice attracted his attention.
"Mo, Mo!"
Not only Ye Tian, Hsiang Yunjie also turned his head to look. After that, his expression became somewhat ugly.
"Mo, it really is you. I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw your profile. I didn't expect it to really be you!"
The incomer was a young man with a loud voice. He seemed to be a few years younger than Hsiang Yunjie, but the red lips on his neck proved that this young man had just come out of the Wind Flower Market. The smell of rouge on his body hadn't dissipated yet.
The young man was wearing a long scarlet robe. This unique color could only be worn by the imperial family's disciples. It also showed that he was extraordinary.
"Third brother, this Loong Fei Restaurant is a pretty good restaurant. Even I can't eat and drink here often. Could it be that you were eating here just now?"
The young man looked at Hsiang Yunjie with disdain, which made Hsiang Yunjie feel very awkward.
"If you want to say that you went in to pick up the leftovers from the other tables, I believe that none of us brothers don't know about you!"
