The two of them asked and answered questions. It was not until Ji Lingxiu finished explaining everything about Xingyue in detail and the emperor still refused to let him go that Ji Lingxiu showed a hint of anxiety and looked frequently in a certain direction.

Over there is the queen's bedroom.

The eldest prince on the side saw Ji Lingxiu's intention and suddenly stood up.

Ji Lingxiu met his inexplicable look and had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, the eldest prince admonished the emperor: "Father, my fifth brother has lived in Xingyue for several years and has never come back to worship his ancestors. I think the ancestors no longer recognize my fifth brother."

"Why don't we strike while the iron is hot and let the fifth brother go to the Futang to pay homage to our ancestors for a few days? We also let the fifth brother recognize the tablets of our ancestors, so as not to forget the origins of the clan in the future."

Emperor Liuyun is incompetent.

He has many sons, but he has no regard for Ji Lingxiu, a child who grew up without him.

Even though it was obvious that the eldest prince wanted to give Ji Lingxiu a blow, he did not stop him.

"The eldest prince's proposal is good." Emperor Liuyun first affirmed the eldest prince's words, and then looked at Ji Lingxiu, who looked forbearing, "Go to Futang to kneel down for three days, and then go see your mother and concubine."

"Your mother and concubine haven't seen you for a long time. She said it to me many times."

How could Ji Lingxiu not know!

Emperor Liuyun's last words stabbed Ji Lingxiu hard in the chest. It hurt so much that he wanted to ask the emperor if he had to go to Futang?!

But the reality is that Ji Lingxiu doesn't dare. He is still young and cannot resist anyone. He can only grit his teeth and swallow the torture that the eldest prince inflicted on him in a few words.

"My son, I obey your orders."

Ji Lingxiu knelt down to accept the order, and the eldest prince laughed in his heart when he saw his calm expression.

Going to the Futang to kneel down and worship was apparently an order from the emperor, but in fact the eldest prince made a lot of mistakes in it.

It was a cold night and Ji Lingxiu shrank into a ball from the cold before she could change her clothes into cotton ones.

The candle flame dances, providing a weak temperature.

Ji Lingxiu's eyes reflected a red light, and he thought of the hot milk dumpling all over his body when he was hungry and cold.

"Zhao Zhao..."

With the order from the eldest prince, no one dares to send anything to Ji Lingxiu these days.

Ji Lingxiu didn't eat a single meal for three days, and finally staggered back to the palace with a pale face.

Then he fainted.

The few remaining servants in the palace were so frightened that they couldn't invite the imperial doctor, so they hurriedly fed Ji Lingxiu ginger water and rice porridge.

After such a day, Ji Lingxiu finally recovered.

He knew that he could not see his mother in his current state and would only make her worried, so he stayed in the palace to rest.

Ji Lingxiu came back and brought back many secrets from Xingyue. As a great hero, a celebration banquet should have been held for him.

But the bad thing is that the emperor gave the eldest prince the opportunity to host the celebration banquet.

"Fifth brother, don't think about the celebration party. As for the rewards your father has given you..."

The eldest prince looked at Ji Lingxiu who came over to talk to him, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, "Fifth brother is still too young and doesn't need it on weekdays. It's useless to put so many treasures with you. Why don't you keep them for you first?"

, when you grow up and have a big brother in the mansion, I will add some more and give them all back to you."

To say yes is actually an empty talk.

At the moment, there are only two of them present. As long as the eldest prince says that he has not spoken and there is evidence, Ji Lingxiu can't do anything to the other party.

But even though he knew it clearly in his heart, Ji Lingxiu still had to suffer the loss of being dumb.

"Then Ling Xiu will thank the eldest brother."

"You're welcome."

The goal was achieved, but the eldest prince was still not satisfied.

He looked at Ji Lingxiu, who looked calm, and suddenly changed his mind.

"Fifth brother, don't say that the emperor treated you badly."

The eldest prince really dislikes this useless brother, but he still finds fun in him.

He patted Ji Lingxiu's thin shoulder and said, "My father ordered me to prepare a celebration banquet for you. I originally thought that you were withdrawn and wouldn't like this kind of scene. My brother was wrong."

"If you never interact with others, how lonely will the fifth brother be." The eldest prince pretended to be accommodating for Ji Ling, "So, you and I will definitely make this celebration banquet lively for you.

Guaranteed to make you happy."

Ji Lingxiu felt the hand on his shoulder, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still had that indifferent expression on his face.

It seems that no matter what the eldest prince says, it will not arouse any of his emotions.

"Ling Xiu just listens to the First Emperor's arrangements."

"That's good."

The celebration banquet was hosted by the eldest prince and many officials came.

Almost everyone understands what kind of Shura field today is.

Therefore, as much as everyone flatters the eldest prince, they are so indifferent to Ji Lingxiu.

The four words "avoidable" completely explain their attitude towards Ji Lingxiu.

"I wronged my fifth brother and worked hard for others in Xingyue, and brought back a lot of valuable information to Liu Yun. As the elder brother, I am proud of my fifth brother!" The eldest prince raised his glass and looked excited.

Feeling inspired.

The officials below agreed, "It is a blessing for the fifth prince to have such a good brother as the eldest prince!"

"The eldest prince treats his brothers well, but he must guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and must not be complacent."

Emperor Liuyun was sitting in the upper seat. Hearing the flattery of the ministers to him and the eldest prince, he was in a good mood, so he opened his mouth to give some advice.

The eldest prince smiled humbly, raised his hands and said "yes".

Everyone's eyes fell on him, as if he was the protagonist of this celebration banquet.

And the real protagonist of this celebration banquet was forgotten in the corner.

Ji Lingxiu sat down, his expression unchanged, as if he had turned a deaf ear.

Only when everyone was chatting happily, he quickly glanced at his mother who was far away from him.

The eldest prince called Ji Lingxiu several times, but the latter had no response and could hardly keep the smile on his face.

He gritted his teeth and raised his voice.

"Fifth brother!"

Ji Lingxiu heard this this time. He raised his head and quickly scanned everyone's expressions before looking at him again, his heart sinking slightly.

"Big Brother."

He stood up and saluted.

Can't fault it.

The eldest prince looked at him more and more dissatisfied, and the smile on his face tightened, "What was the fifth brother thinking just now? I called several times and didn't hear you?"

"I didn't think about anything."

"Why did the fifth brother learn the bad habit of lying from Xingyue? Why can't even the eldest brother listen to it?" The eldest prince pretended to be dissatisfied and raised his voice slightly so that everyone present could hear, "Could it be that Xingyue is hiding something?

I haven’t revealed any important information about you, so I feel uneasy.”

Under the deliberate guidance of the eldest prince, everyone looked at Ji Lingxiu's expression.

Their actions meant they believed the eldest prince's words.

As long as Ji Lingxiu's psychological suggestion of turning his heart to Xingyue is suppressed, people in Liuyun will not open their hearts to Ji Lingxiu.

He will always be excluded.

"Why does the eldest brother think so? I have told my father everything I know. If the eldest brother doesn't believe it, he can go to Xingyue himself to find out whether it is true or not."

Ji Lingxiu is neither humble nor arrogant. At this time, he still wants to use his words to regain his innocence.
