In addition to Wanwan, the tyrant has eight other children. In the text, the seventh prince and the eighth prince have been imprisoned in their fiefdoms since childhood and have not been allowed to return to the capital because their mother committed a crime, so the text does not use too much space to describe them.
The remaining six had been living in the palace, and in the end their heads were all hanged on the city walls.
Tonight, in addition to seeing the Crown Prince and the Fifth Princess at the banquet, she also saw her nominal second brother.
After seeing the second prince, she suddenly remembered that the second prince did not end up with his head neatly hung on the city wall like them.
He died even earlier because he coveted the position of crown prince, and ended up being killed by the crown prince!
"My royal brother, have you made all the arrangements for suppressing the bandits on the third day of next month?" When the banquet was in full swing, the second prince Xiao Moqing, who was sitting at the table, suddenly spoke up.
The Crown Prince replied in a cold tone, "Thank you for your concern, Second Royal Brother. Everything has been arranged."
Hearing the question and answer between the two, the ministers who were chatting present immediately pricked up their ears.
Are the two ancestors going to quarrel again?
Everyone in the palace knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had been incompatible since they were in the womb.
The mothers of the two became pregnant at almost the same time, and His Majesty announced that whichever lady gave birth to a prince would be crowned queen.
Coincidentally, the two ladies gave birth on the same day, and even the time of their birth was the same.
In the end, just because the nanny who delivered the second prince was a few moments slow, he and his mother missed the chance to become crown prince and queen.
So over the years, the second prince was very dissatisfied with the crown prince, and the two of them competed with each other openly and secretly.
I heard that last month, Your Majesty gave the task of suppressing bandits in Liaozhou to the Crown Prince, but the Second Prince refused to accept it and had a fight with the Crown Prince in the palace, blowing off the roofs of several palaces.
Why did the second prince bring up this matter again today?
The Second Prince rubbed his wine glass with his fingertips and said with a smile, "I heard that the bandits in Liaozhou are very insidious and cunning. My Royal Brother must be careful and make sure to practice martial arts these days. By the way, my Royal Brother, have you been busy with government affairs recently? I have been at the martial arts training ground for several days, but why haven't I seen you?"
Hearing this, the prince raised his eyelids and glanced at him calmly, "The palace is so big, there are places for practicing martial arts everywhere."
"It seems that my Royal Brother has been secretly practicing some new moves recently. That's why he is so wary of me, my Royal Brother." The Second Prince smiled and said, "What new moves are they? Why don't we have another sparring match?"
Prince: "Some other day."
"It's better to do it today, my Royal Brother. Besides, Father and the other ministers are tired of watching this ordinary singing and dancing. Why don't we go up and have a little competition?"
The great tyrant sitting above frowned slightly, "Mo Qing, since this is a family dinner, how can we not be so violent and violent?"
The tyrant was filled with regret at this moment. When the two were young, neither of them was submissive to the other, which gave him a headache. Once, when he could no longer tolerate it, he let the two fight.
I thought the matter would be resolved perfectly, but I never expected that several years have passed and now these two people have to resort to fighting to decide the outcome of any dispute.
Seeing that his father had shouted to stop him, the second prince had to give up the idea of competing with the prince.
But the next second, he spoke again: "In recent days, I have seen the eunuchs beside my brother going in and out of the Imperial Hospital to get medicine, and it was medicine for leg injuries. My brother, what happened to your leg? Is it anything serious? Wasn't it fine a few days ago?"
[What's wrong with his leg? Don't you know? Tsk, scheming little green tea.]
