All along, the Grand Tutor had been constantly telling him about the achievements and wisdom of Prince Xiao, causing him to regard Prince Xiao as his opponent. He felt that he would not lose even if he was used to compete with Prince Xiao.

He also wanted to be a prince who did whatever he wanted like Prince Xiao, without so many constraints, and stand up in times of national crisis, plan strategies, and win battles thousands of miles away.

But things went against his wishes. He was always controlled by his father and mother, and was not even free to leave the palace. This time when he came to Lizhou, his father insisted that his sister come with him.

Yuya didn't understand. They were both princes of the same country, so why was there such a big difference between them?

Yu Wan glanced at her younger brother, who only had eyes for Crown Prince Xiao, and said no more. Anyway, anything she said would be redundant at this moment.

"Mo Yan, take a seat." Emperor Xiao extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Moyan, and even reserved a seat for him next to Hua Yihen.

Xiao Moyan nodded slightly, without thanking him, and walked straight to his seat.

As soon as Xiao Moyan sat down, a palace maid came to serve him and prepared to pour wine and tea.

"Go down." Xiao Moyan took the wine jug from the palace maid and put it down, then picked up the teapot and filled it himself. He did everything by himself.

The palace maid retreated in response, her little face already flushed red. Prince Xiao just said one sentence to her, and her heart fell in love with him.

Xiao Moyan has such charm that people can drink poison to quench their thirst and enjoy it.

Hua Yihen tilted his head and stared at the person next to him, frowning slightly.

Xiao Moyan. He was the only person in the world who dared to so openly and openly disrespect Emperor Xiao and yet was still alive and well.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence, so quiet that one could almost hear the deep and shallow breathing.

"We have all presented our gifts. I wonder what gift Prince Xiao has prepared that has delayed him for so long?" An official from Xuezhou who came with Ling Fei saw that the scene was strangely serious and said this fearlessly.

His intention was to ease the awkwardness, but his words made the situation even more solemn.

It's like he's being too clever and shooting himself in the foot.

Ling Fei frowned slightly and glanced at the official with some displeasure. She really didn't understand why the emperor would send such a foolish person to accompany her. In such an occasion, how could a small envoy like him have the right to speak? Every word and action represented the Xuezhou Kingdom.

The words just now were clearly meant to openly embarrass Emperor Xiao and Crown Prince Xiao. Those who were unaware would think that she had instructed them to do so...

Ling Fei was thinking about it and was about to stand up to make peace, but suddenly she heard a voice as cool as water. The voice was like spring water flowing slowly through the heart, as if it could cleanse one's soul.

"Of course it's a great gift." As soon as he finished speaking, all the candles in the venue went out, and the hall suddenly became pitch black, with no one able to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Everyone was startled. Suddenly, before they could react, a circle of candles lit up in the central hall, and then a group of masked men in black appeared, all with murderous eyes and weapons in their hands.

Seeing this, some officials, already trembling with fear, shouted loudly: "Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xiao Moyan sat quietly in his seat, holding the white jade teacup in his bony hands. He took a sip slowly and said calmly, "I'll show you a show."

Watch a show?

Everyone was furious. Did the show need to be so scary? Those masked men looked so ferocious. They thought...that Prince Xiao was trying to force the emperor to abdicate...

The result was that they had to watch a show, which made everyone feel ashamed...

Prince Xiao's actions are indeed confusing.
