As soon as the guests took their seats, they heard the doorman come to announce.
"My Lord, General, the First and Third Princes are here."
The old marquis was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly led everyone to go and greet him.
The eldest prince is the son of Concubine Lan. He is sixteen years old this year. He is extremely intelligent and has unique insights into court affairs. He is highly regarded by the emperor.
The third prince is the queen's son, ten years old this year. Born prematurely, he has been weak since childhood and has never shown his abilities, so his potential is unknown.
Dongwu has always established the eldest or the legitimate son as the heir, so the crown prince will be chosen from among the two.
Because the third prince was weak, most court officials tended to favor the eldest prince.
The eldest prince came at the emperor's request, and the third prince came at the queen's request.
"Boss, Xiao San, why are you here? Come and see your sister Chaoxi."
Although the eldest princess did not like the queen, she still liked her third nephew who had been following her around and calling her "Auntie" since he was a child.
After paying his respects to the eldest princess, the eldest prince waved his hand and signaled everyone to stand up.
He waved his hand again, and the palace maid behind him came forward carrying a brocade box.
"I heard that the Marquis' Mansion was holding a wedding banquet, and my father specially ordered me to send a gift."
Rong Baichuan hurriedly bowed and took it, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."
After handing the brocade box to the servant, Rong Baichuan gestured for an invitation, "Your Highness, please take your seat."
The eldest prince waved his hand, "No, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you any more."
He glanced at the female guests' seats, landed on a pretty figure, then quickly moved away, finally looking at the third prince.
"Xiao San, do you want to go back now?"
The Third Prince looked over and said, "Brother, I want to stay here for a while and go back later."
The eldest prince nodded slightly and left.
The old marquis, Rong Baichuan and Rong Qiwang escorted him to the door.
Rong Huanyao tugged at the Marquis's sleeve, "Mother...just now the eldest prince..."
The Marquis's wife immediately looked over to stop him, of course she saw it too.
Rong Chaoxi looked at the eldest prince's back and spit out a bubble of saliva.
[This eldest prince is actually emitting a golden glow? ...This must be what the mortal world calls dragon energy.]
Qin frowned slightly.
With the dragon energy in his body, will the eldest prince become the crown prince?
Last year, the eldest prince intended to win over Rong Baichuan.
But Rong Baichuan was a straightforward person who was only loyal to the emperor and didn't care what the prince thought, so he rejected the good intention.
If the eldest prince really succeeds, will he have to rely on the past?
Rong Chaoxi's voice then sounded.
[However, having committed so many evil deeds, I'm afraid my next life will be miserable... I'll either be a disabled person or a beggar, to atone for the sins of killing I committed in this life...]
At this time, the third prince came here.
Although the banquet was not divided into two areas, men and women sat on separate sides.
The third prince is a male guest, but he is still young, so it is okay for him to sit in the female guest seat.
"Sister Chaoxi is so cute."
He stretched out his fingers and gently pinched the chubby little face.
Chaoxi blinked and stared carefully at the little brother in front of her.
Although his face was pale and his expression was indifferent, he was extremely handsome, clean and clear, and untainted by the world.
He looked very much like someone in my memory, but he had died in battle.
The third prince was about to move his hand away.
Suddenly...
A doubtful little voice came from my ear.
[Huh... he doesn't have a destiny line? ]
The third prince stared with his round eyes, and there was a rare hint of confusion in his indifferent pupils.
What did he hear? The inner voice of a baby?
Not sure, listen again.
"Sit down quickly." Seeing that he was still standing, the princess pushed him to sit on the chair beside her.
The third prince withdrew his hand and sat down next to the eldest princess.
The banquet officially began and everyone started eating, drinking and chatting.
The third prince's gaze fell on Xiao Chaoxi's face, and he saw the little guy staring at him with confusion and viciousness, his mouth pursed, which was very cute.
But no sound was made.
I think I must have heard it wrong. How could such a small baby make a sound?
"Aunt, can Qin Mo hug sister Chaoxi?"
The eldest princess placed the little one in his arms and said, "Be careful not to drop your sister."
The third prince held the baby in his arms very carefully.
At this time, the baby voice sounded again.
How could there be no destiny line? Everything in the universe has its destiny, so why doesn't this sickly person have one? Could it be that his destiny has run out and he's about to die?
The third prince???
Is he dying?
What would the Queen Mother do? She sought out famous doctors and prayed to all the gods and Buddhas for treatment.
How sad she would be if I died like this.
The third prince's eyes suddenly turned red.
[But this face doesn't look like someone who's about to die, does it? ...Am I too weak to see through so much?]
The third prince breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Sister Chaoxi was joking.
The little fellow opened his eyes wide, wanting to see clearly the fate of the Third Prince.
He just tried hard to open his eyes wide and puff up his little face, which was really adorable.
The third prince couldn't help but pinch it again.
[Eh… why are his eyes red? Is he hungry? If you're hungry, just eat. Why are you looking at me?]
[I want to eat it too...]
[Hehe! Just now, while my mother was talking to Princess Aunt, I stuffed a piece of meat into my mouth. It was so...]
[It’s just that I don’t have any teeth, so I can’t bite…]
Qin's eyes swept over suddenly.
The third prince was stunned.
"Mrs. Rong, there seems to be something in my sister's mouth."
He knew that such a young baby could not eat meat.
Qin took the little guy and reached out to take out the piece of meat from her mouth.
"Spit it out Chaoxi quickly, you can't eat these yet..."
