Xie Jingrun was indeed a chosen one of the emperor. Even though he was forced to hide his identity as a prince from birth and was raised in a marquis's mansion, he still received the most meticulous care and training.
Xie Tianlin treated him as his own son.
In contrast, Xie Jingxuan was not so lucky.
Because he always lived in Xie Jingrun's shadow, others could never see his excellence. Over time, he became self-destructive and began to frequent brothels, exiling himself to a life of self-destruction.
But now, he has learned that Xie Jingrun is not his biological brother. One can imagine the disappointment and resentment he must feel.
"Isn't this good? Xie Jingrun has regained his status as a prince, and everything in this Marquis's mansion will be yours from now on." Rong Qingqing could only comfort him in this way.
Xie Jingxuan said gloomily, "Who wants something he doesn't want?"
"Oh, you don't want to? Then when the Emperor issues the decree to grant you the title, you must not agree." Rong Qingqing raised an eyebrow and said with amusement.
Xie Jingxuan's lips twitched. Looking at the other party's smiling face, he suddenly said in a vicious tone, "What are you so happy about? Even if the Marquis's mansion falls into my hands in the future, you'll still have to make a living under my care. I'm giving you a chance now. If you flatter me, I might be willing to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die if I'm in a good mood."
Rong Qingqing rolled her eyes at him. "The Marquis's mansion hasn't even fallen into your lap yet. Isn't it too early to be so cocky? Be careful you end up with nothing." You brat, give him a little leeway and he starts acting like a scoundrel.
Xie Jingxuan was somewhat sullen, but then, thinking of something, he couldn't help but look at her probingly, "You didn't seem surprised at all when you heard that Xie Jingrun was a prince. Did you already know?"
Rong Qingqing sighed, "How could I possibly know? I'm just a little calmer than you. After all, I'm your elder."
When Xie Jingxuan heard her bring up her elders' authority again, he rolled his eyes, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving."
"Good boy, take care." Rong Qingqing waved her hand.
Xie Jingxuan gritted his teeth, thinking that when he inherited the title in the future, he would definitely grind her down and crush her arrogance.
"By the way, if you don't have anything to do these next few days, don't go out." Rong Qingqing suddenly reminded her.
Xie Jingxuan paused, nodded, and then hurried away.
As soon as he left, Xiao Tao came over and said in surprise, "Miss, is what the Second Master said true? The Marquis, he..."
“It should be true.” Rong Qingqing nodded.
Xiao Tao covered her mouth. Good heavens, the Marquis is actually a prince.
Given the Marquis's feelings for the young lady, wouldn't she become... in the future?
She stared wide-eyed at her young mistress with delight.
Is it possible that Miss's suffering is about to end and her happiness is about to come?
Seeing her reaction, Rong Qingqing raised her hand and flicked her forehead, "What are you thinking about?"
"I wasn't thinking anything," Xiao Tao said with a grin.
Rong Qingqing was too lazy to guess what she was thinking, so she got up and went back to her room.
At this time, in the imperial court, with the announcement of Xie Jingrun's identity, some were happy and some were sad.
The addition of a prince means that the original established situation will be disrupted.
After all, the emperor has been slow to appoint an heir apparent, and now it seems that the reason why the emperor has not appointed an heir apparent is because his preferred successor to the throne is Xie Jingrun!
No wonder the Emperor valued Xie Jingrun so much; it turns out the two were father and son, and Xie Jingrun was actually the son of the once-favored Consort Li.
Situ Wuji's expression was now extremely unpleasant.
I never expected the Emperor to have hidden it so well. Xie Jingrun was actually the son born to Consort Li.
They were kept in the dark for so long!
