The people felt extremely guilty and knelt down before the crown prince and the two princes.
After the crowd was dispersed, Eunuch Li came to ask the prince for his opinion.
The Crown Prince looked at the Eighth Prince and said, "To be on the safe side, Eighth Brother should stay with Fourth Brother for the time being!
I will report this to my father when I return to the palace."
The Eighth Prince's eyes were red, he was under house arrest and his fourth brother couldn't come in, he must be worried.
As the Crown Prince was about to leave, the Eighth Prince looked at Eunuch Li, who sent everyone out of the mansion.
At the prince's instruction, all the accompanying guards also left the palace.
The Ninth Prince was standing in front of him, and the Eighth Prince did not avoid him.
"Eighth brother, do you have anything else to say?"
The Eighth Prince pursed his lips, and it seemed difficult for him to speak.
The Ninth Prince took a look and said to the Crown Prince, "Brother Crown Prince, I will go outside to watch that person, in case anything goes wrong..."
The prince curled his lips. He didn't know since when, the Ninth Prince's way of addressing him had changed from "Your Highness the Prince" to "Brother Prince".
Without waiting for the Eighth Prince to react, the Ninth Prince walked out.
The prince looked around and confirmed that there was no one else in the yard before looking back at the Ninth Prince.
Not rushing him, just waiting for him quietly.
“Plop…”
The Ninth Prince suddenly knelt down, his eyes reddened, "Your Highness, I...
I did hide something in my house, but...
It has nothing to do with Your Highness, and I don’t intend to hurt anyone.
It's just that I like it myself, and I almost fell into someone's hands, implicating my mother. I heard that the queen was even scolded by my father...
My brother is guilty! "
The prince sighed and helped the ninth prince up with one hand.
He looked solemn and distressed, but his voice was gentle as usual.
"Is the thing that Eighth Brother hid related to opera?"
The eighth prince was stunned and looked at the crown prince in a daze.
Your Highness, how did you know?
The prince said in a calm voice, “I burn incense all year round and am very sensitive to smells.
At many palace banquets, I smelled the scent of powder on my eighth brother...
The Empress Dowager De likes drama, so she has some associations...”
The Eighth Prince was shocked. He didn't expect the Crown Prince to be so meticulous. It was just a little bit of powder...
I always put on makeup late at night and remove it by myself, and no one could find out for many years...
Unexpectedly, a day later, the prince smelled it and was able to guess it!
The Eighth Prince spoke in a low voice, and was unable to raise his head.
"Your Highness, your brother has brought shame upon you...
I promise that all the clothes and things have been destroyed. I will...
I will later...”
The Eighth Prince's voice was choked with sobs, and it was difficult for him to speak, "I will never do it again.
I promise not to cause any more trouble."
The Crown Prince remained silent for a long time. When the Eighth Prince calmed down, the Crown Prince asked, "Are you willing? Can you really do it?"
The eighth prince burst into tears and then burst into tears.
I have liked it for more than ten years. Since I was a child, I have been immersed in the costumes that my mother had secretly kept. I like every stitch and every stroke...
How to give up!
but......
"Since you can't, just keep liking it!"
The prince smiled and patted the eighth prince on the head.
The eighth prince is of considerable stature, almost as tall as the crown prince.
At this moment, both his body and spirit were shrouded in the shadow of the prince.
The eighth prince was sobbing and unable to speak.
"You just have your own preferences, which are different from those of the general public.
If you don't harm others and just do your own thing behind closed doors, what does it have to do with others?"
The Eighth Prince's voice gradually stopped.
"The royal family and the princes are cruel. If you are related to that position, you will be put in heavy shackles...
It has nothing to do with the position, because of etiquette, it must be restrained...
In this life, if you don’t have something to support your hobbies, it would be hopeless.”
The Eighth Prince raised his head and looked into the Crown Prince's eyes, feeling aggrieved and moved.
