Wanshou Palace.

It was still a little early for the banquet to start, but outside the palace, many people were already waiting.

This was a banquet set by Emperor Wen to welcome the Beihan delegation, showcasing the grandeur of the Dagan Dynasty. No one dared to be late.

As Shen Luoyan had expected, apart from the imperial relatives, those present were all high-ranking officials. Officials below the third rank basically had no qualifications to attend.

"Little brother, what wind blew you here today?"

"I thought you were going to pretend to be sick again!"

"Is this the Sixth Brother? How come I've never seen you before?"

"How old are you? Not only have you never seen him, none of us have seen him much. He's harder to see than a maiden in seclusion..."

With the arrival of Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan, the princes and princesses began to mock him, even the thirteen-year-old Eighth Prince joined in.

Facing the ridicule of the crowd, Shen Luoyan felt extremely aggrieved, but Yun Zheng remained exceptionally calm, his face showing no emotion.

"Little brother, why don't you say something?"

Fifth Prince Yun Ting looked at Yun Zheng with a teasing expression, "I heard you spoke quite fluently in the court a few days ago. Why aren't you speaking today?"

"That's right, Sixth Brother!"

Eighth Prince said with a contemptuous smile, "Don't you introduce your Sixth Princess Consort to us? That's not very nice, is it?"

Second Prince patted Eighth Prince's shoulder, "Don't make it difficult for your Sixth Brother. You know he gets nervous when there are too many people around..."

Shen Luoyan couldn't bear to listen anymore and gently pulled Yun Zheng.

Useless, you should say something!

They are princes, and so are you!

Even if you can't provoke them, can't you at least say something?

Seeing the moment was ripe, Yun Zheng looked at Second Prince "timidly," "Second Brother, I... I have something to tell you."

"Say it!"

Second Prince teased, "A man should speak directly! Now you're General Hu Lie! Don't be so timid!"

Hearing Second Prince mention Yun Zheng's title as "General Hu Lie," everyone burst into laughter.

He shouldn't be called General Hu Lie.

He should be called General Suicide!

"Uh-huh."

Yun Zheng nodded and tentatively said, "Second Brother, lend me some silver, will you?"

"Huh?"

Second Prince was stunned, and the laughter around them suddenly stopped.

Borrowing silver?

This useless person's first words are borrowing silver?

"Second Brother, lend me some silver!"

Yun Zheng "summoned his courage" and repeated.

Second Prince's face darkened, "Little brother, why are you asking me to lend you silver?"

"The expenses in the mansion are too high."
