"Don't worry, Uncle An. When I speak fluently in two months, I will definitely stop you from going to brothels and save you from the tragic ending of your previous life!"
Prince An smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you so much, my little niece."
Prince An and Prince Kang's families went to the palace together in a carriage.
When they arrived at the palace, Prince Duan, Prince Jing, and Prince Li's three families were already chatting and laughing with the old emperor.
When the old emperor saw Prince An and Prince Kang coming, he waved to them.
"You are here, Little Two, Little Five, Little Six, come and see your little niece. You haven't seen her yet, have you?"
Prince Kang came forward holding his daughter, "Brother Prince Duan, Prince Jingli, this is my youngest daughter Jiuer."
Song Jiujiu nestled in her father's arms, looking at the three princes with her big watery eyes.
[I have seen them in my previous life, but that was more than ten years later. They looked a little older then.
He looks quite young now.
Prince Duan and Prince Jing look like cunning people. As for Prince Li, well, he looks stupid, with his ambition clearly shown on his face.
He was in his fiefdom before, and the emperor was far away, so the old emperor could not control him.
Now that he's in the capital, he's still so arrogant. It seems like death is not far away.
"Your daughter looks very cute. Among us brothers, besides Prince Ning, you are the only one who has a daughter. I am really envious of you."
Prince Duan curled his lips and chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. A vague look of scrutiny flashed across his narrow eyes.
"Brother Prince Kang, can I please hold your daughter in my arms?"
Prince Li continued to speak, his flamboyant eyes and eyebrows revealed a bit of ruthlessness. Song Jiujiu just took a look and turned away, burying her little face in her father's arms.
[I don't want Li Wang to hug me! He looks so fierce! If you don't hug me, he'll just throw me to the ground!]
I still want to live! Daddy, don't let him hold me!
Song Jiujiu screamed in her heart, and her two chubby little hands hugged her father's neck tightly without letting go.
King Kang listened to his daughter's thoughts and hugged the little girl tightly in his arms.
"Excuse me, Prince Li, I'm a little shy."
Li Wang smiled wryly, "It's okay, children are like that."
[Prince Li is such a bad guy! Even children can tell who is good and who is bad!]
Song Jiujiu muttered to herself, turned her head quietly, and then met King Jing's gaze.
She was so scared that she quickly buried her head in her father's arms again, and her little body curled up.
[Oh my god! I'm so scared! Why is King Jing looking at me like that?]
Is he sizing me up? What a sharp look!
These three princes are so scary! Can my stupid father defeat them?
Wuuuuu, God help me! 】
King Jing was stunned for a moment and looked away.
King Kang patted his daughter's back soothingly, then sat down with her in his arms.
Prince Duan and his wife brought their three sons, Prince Jing and his wife brought their two sons, and Prince Li and his wife brought their one son.
In addition to Prince Kang's family of eight, there were also the old emperor, Prince An, the queen, the imperial concubine and several concubines.
This family dinner with more than 20 people in total was quite lively.
It’s just that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, especially in a place like the royal family where family ties are weak, a large number of people means more intrigue and conflicts.
The old emperor sat in the main seat and looked around, his eyes fell on Prince Kang.
"San'er, how come your boss hasn't come back since he left the capital for so long?
He can't even attend the rare family dinner. Is it possible that he won't be able to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner either?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, I sent you a letter earlier and will try my best to come back this year.
I am not sure if my son can come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
King Kang reported back.
He also hopes that his eldest son can come back soon so that their family can be reunited and the Mid-Autumn Festival can be meaningful.
"Is that so? Okay, let's have dinner."
The old emperor waved his hands, and it was hard to tell what his mood was.
When Prince Kang was holding his daughter, Ye Peizhu, who was sitting beside him, picked up some vegetables and broke them into pieces, wanting to take his daughter over to feed her.
But King Kang took the bowl and wanted to feed his daughter himself.
Song Jiujiu also sat peacefully in her father's arms, opening her little mouth and waiting to be fed.
The royal family members never spoke while eating, and Song Jiujiu was happy to eat the delicious vegetables and meat while looking at the people present.
[It's really strange that the children of these three princes are all sons, no daughters.
But it’s okay. If I had a daughter, her future would probably not be good.
Although I died earlier than most people here in my previous life, I still know a lot of things.
For example, Prince Duan and Prince Jing both died later. Both Prince Duan and Prince Jing were cunning people, but unfortunately Prince Jing was not as cunning as Prince Duan.
If I remember correctly, Prince Duan was responsible for Prince Jing's death.
Tsk, King Jing died in such a tragic way. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that our family’s death was not so tragic, at least it was just a quick death.
King Jing's death was not so pleasant; he was tortured horribly!
The little baby was muttering to himself, dangling his feet and waiting for his dad to feed him. He felt so comfortable.
She didn't notice that King Jing, who was sitting opposite her and was eating slowly, paused and looked a little strange.
The so-called family dinner ended in silence.
On the surface, the atmosphere was harmonious, but in reality, no one said much.
King Kang originally wanted to test King Duan, King Jing and King Li as King An said.
But before they could even say a few words, the family dinner was over.
But it didn't matter if he didn't try, because he knew that the three of them had ambitions for the throne.
Prince An got into the carriage with Prince Kang and his family, and couldn't help but start complaining.
"What kind of family dinner is this? Whose family dinner has such a weird atmosphere? It makes me feel so uneasy!
If I had known it was such a family dinner, I should have excused myself from coming."
Prince Kang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Seventh brother, if you really couldn't come because of illness, father would definitely send someone to investigate.
Although the atmosphere at this dinner party tonight wasn't great, it was generally acceptable."
“That’s right, they didn’t specifically ask about Prince Gong and Prince Ning, which is a bit unlike them.
Especially Prince Jing, he was quite silent tonight, barely saying a word, whereas he was quite talkative at last year's family dinner."
Prince An couldn't help but complain as he recalled what happened tonight.
King Kang: "A year has passed, King Jing must have changed a bit, it's normal that he's different from last year.
I wonder how long the emperor will let the three of them stay when they return to Beijing this year."
Prince An curled his lips and said, "It's only eight or nine days until the Mid-Autumn Festival. I can only stay for half a month at most. It's impossible to stay longer."
