Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 10: No One’s Coming, But the Gift Has Arrived

After sending off Yuan Chen and his son, Yun Zheng immediately brought Gao Guang to Duke Jingguo’s residence.

The first invitation he personally sent out must be to Xu Shi!

Xu Shi was the uncle of the Third Prince!

As long as Xu Shi is dealt with, will there be any worries about other people not sending gifts?

“Your Highness, may I say something? I’m not sure if I should say it or not?”

On the way, Gao Guang hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up.

“Just say it,” Yun Zheng said with a casual smile.

Gao Guang let out a bitter laugh and said seriously, “Your Highness, personally delivering the invitation to Duke Jingguo’s residence has a hint of seeking humiliation.”

“I know they all look down on me.”

Yun Zheng sighed and said, “I also know they definitely won’t attend the banquet, but I’ll just do my part and send the gifts…”.

Gao Guang was taken aback and fell silent.

Before long, the two of them arrived at Duke Jingguo’s residence.

At this time, the sky was already darkening.

“The Sixth Prince?”

When Xu Shi and his family learned that Yun Zheng had arrived, they were all taken aback.

What was the Sixth Prince doing here?

Was he here to apologize?

Even if he was apologizing, shouldn’t he be going to the Third Prince’s residence?

Why was he coming to their place?

“Let’s go and take a look!”

Xu Shi, although puzzled, still called out to his family members to come and greet Yun Zheng.

Even if they looked down on Yun Zheng, he was still the Sixth Prince.

If they didn’t greet him, it would be like disrespecting the imperial family!

“Greetings, Sixth Prince!”

Xu Shi led his family to the door and was forced to pay respects to Yun Zheng.

As a high-ranking official, he and his family didn’t need to kneel to Yun Zheng, but even bowing to him made him feel humiliated.

“Duke Jingguo, no need to be too polite.”

Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly and said straightforwardly, “I’ve come to deliver an invitation to Duke Jingguo.”

“An invitation?”

Xu Shi was slightly taken aback, “Has the wedding date between Your Highness and Shen Luoyan been set?”

Xu Shi said this, but he had no intention of inviting Yun Zheng in.

Yun Zheng didn’t mind, shaking his head, “It’s not a wedding invitation. I’m hosting a housewarming party and I’d like to invite Duke Jingguo to attend.”

As he spoke, Yun Zheng handed over the invitation.

Xu Shi took the invitation, glanced at it, and was about to put it away, but suddenly felt something was off.

“This handwriting…”

Xu Shi reopened the invitation and frowned slightly.

This handwriting looked familiar!

It was just like…

Yun Zheng smiled inwardly, but his face showed a hint of embarrassment, “I know my handwriting is not good, so I had Left Guard General Yuan Chen write the invitation.”

Yuan Chen?

Xu Shi’s face turned green.

How could this handwriting be so familiar?!

It was written by Yuan Chen!

Yuan Chen, who was supposed to be on their side, was now writing invitations for Yun Zheng?!

If this invitation was sent out, the entire court would know that the Third Prince’s people were helping the Sixth Prince!

Wasn’t this a slap in the face to him and the Third Prince?!

Xu Shi was almost so angry that he vomited blood.  He felt a burning pain on his face. He secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must severely punish Yuan Chen.

This two-faced traitor!

“Duke Jingguo, Duke Jingguo…”

Yun Zheng’s voice echoed in Xu Shi’s ear again.

Xu Shi came back to his senses, saying indifferently, “Your Highness, I’m truly sorry, but with the recent busy schedule in the court, I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend your housewarming party.”

Xu Shi’s response was exactly as Gao Guang had expected.

Gao Guang looked at Yun Zheng silently, thinking: What’s the point of coming here?

Didn’t he know it was a humiliation?

“No worries, no worries!”

Yun Zheng waved his hand, “It’s okay as long as the gift is there.”

What’s going on?!

Xu Shi was taken aback. 

It’s okay as long as the gift is there?

 So, he is here to blackmail him?

Looking at Xu Shi’s expression, Yun Zheng seemed to realize he had said something wrong and quickly corrected himself, “I didn’t mean to ask you to send a gift, I meant to say that the courtesy has been extended, that’s all…”

Xu Shi and his family looked at Yun Zheng with amusement.

Wasn’t this still a veiled request for them to send a gift?

This coward, daring to ask them to send a gift?!

Had he gone crazy?!

“No, no…”

At this time, Yun Zheng waved his hand again, his face flushed red, and said, “I meant to say, my courtesy has been extended, you can do as you please…”

Yun Zheng said this, intentionally showing a timid expression.

Listening to Yun Zheng’s words, Xu Shi almost jumped up and cursed loudly.

His courtesy had been extended, and they could do as they pleased?!

How could they do as they pleased?!

The prince had personally delivered the invitation, and that was already a huge courtesy!

If they didn’t show any appreciation, it would be like they didn’t know how to show courtesy!

Xu Shi cursed in his heart, but his face showed a fake smile, “Don’t worry, Your Highness, even if we can’t attend the banquet, we’ll still prepare a small gift to send to your residence to congratulate you on your new home.”

“Ah?”

Yun Zheng’s eyes widened, and he waved his hand again, “I… I really didn’t mean to ask you to send a gift.”

“No need to explain, we understand.”

Xu Shi said with a fake smile, “Your courtesy is so thoughtful, we naturally can’t be without courtesy either!”

“Uh…”

Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly, “Then we’ll take our leave.”

“Farewell, Your Highness!”

Xu Shi shouted with fake enthusiasm, but his heart was seething with anger.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, he felt more uncomfortable than eating a fly.

Unlike Xu Shi, Yun Zheng was now feeling very happy.

He and the Third Prince were now irreconcilable!  

Xu Shi, as the uncle of the Third Prince, has already sent gifts, so others can’t not send any, right? 

Hehe, this is going to be a huge income! 

This is a gift for the prince, so it can’t be too shabby, right? 

Anyway, I don’t have to worry about the wine and dishes, it’s a guaranteed profit!

Next stop!

Yun Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, ignoring Gao Guang’s strange gaze, and followed him to Zhang Hui’s house. 

This time, Yun Zheng was more direct. 

After explaining his intentions, he directly told Zhang Hui, “I just came from Duke Jingguo’s mansion, and Duke Jingguo said that there are many things to attend to in the court, so he hopes that Lord Zhang…”

“I’m also very busy these days!” Zhang Hui interrupted Yun Zheng, “I also have many things to attend to, so please don’t take it to heart, Your Highness.”

“Oh…”

Yun Zheng’s face showed disappointment, but in his heart, he was overjoyed. 

Who cares about you, anyway? As long as the gift is delivered, that’s all that matters! Another one down!

Next, Yun Zheng brought Gao Guang to several more houses. 

With Xu Shi and Zhang Hui leading the way, everyone used the excuse of being busy with court affairs to say that they would send gifts but not attend in person. 

After visiting several houses, Gao Guang was tired of following Yun Zheng, but Yun Zheng was thrilled.

When they returned to the mansion, it was already very late. 

Yun Zheng didn’t even eat dinner, and instead went to the stables to take a look. “Yuan Chen’s horses seem to be really good.” 

Yun Zheng stroked his chin, muttering to himself.

Gao Guang heard this and couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy. 

Are they just good-looking? 

These horses have endurance and explosive power that’s unmatched! 

Yun Zheng thought for a moment, then told Gao Guang, “I’ll give these two horses to you and Zhou Mi.”

“Your Highness, I dare not accept! This is too valuable!” Gao Guang said with a sincere and fearful tone.

“Valuable?” Yun Zheng pretended to be confused, “How valuable can a horse be?”

“This is not an ordinary horse!” Gao Guang shook his head, “In my opinion, these two horses are worth hundreds of gold, top-notch warhorses!”

“Is it that valuable?” Yun Zheng feigned shock.

One or two gold coins are equivalent to one hundred silver coins. Does that mean he directly earned 20,000 silver coins from those two guys?

He knew that Yuan Chen’s horses were definitely not cheap, but he didn’t expect them to be that expensive. It’s like trading a Santana for a Ferrari!

“It’s indeed very valuable!” Gao Guang nodded, “And it’s priceless!”

“No problem!” Yun Zheng thought for a moment, then waved his hand, “Anyway, I’m not good at riding horses, so I don’t need such good horses. I’ll just give them to you guys!”

Gao Guang wanted to decline again, but Yun Zheng firmly said, “It’s settled!”

Gao Guang couldn’t refuse, and had to thank him, and there was a hint of gratitude and respect in his eyes when he looked at Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng smiled casually, but in his heart, he was secretly cursing, 

I’ve invested a lot of money! 

You two bastards, don’t be traitors! 

Otherwise, I’ll make sure you pay the price, no matter where you are!
