"This...Master, why are you suddenly being asked to marry the princess of Rong Kingdom?"
"This time, Princess Rongguo came with a marriage alliance agreement to marry into our Great Xia, saying that she has taken a liking to me."
"This...Master, that's a princess! Would she willingly become a concubine?"
"That's right, Master."
Qin Mohan sighed: "That's why I suspect that Father Emperor intends for the Princess Consort to never return."
Or perhaps if she returns, she'll use Yu'er; either I'll divorce her, or she'll leave me voluntarily.
this…
After hearing this, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Yes! If the princess doesn't come back, then the Rong Kingdom princess will naturally become their queen.
What is the Emperor thinking? Our Princess is such a good person, why would he treat her like this?
Qinglong and Shisan were both very confused.
Qin Mohan looked at the group and said, "Alright, stop overthinking and get going."
Remember, if you see any of the Emperor's men, strike first, and don't let the Princess know about this.
"Yes, Master."
After the four men finished speaking, they withdrew.
This way.
The news of Qin Mohan being summoned to the palace quickly reached the ears of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
The two then invited the Fifth Prince, and the three of them gathered together again.
"Second brother, third brother, I have also heard about this matter. Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know. The Empress Dowager has already sent people to inquire."
"Could it be because several neighboring countries are coming to participate in the autumn hunt this year and compete with our Great Xia?" the Third Prince guessed with a slight frown.
After hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded and pondered for a moment: "Does Father intend to entrust the task of receiving envoys from neighboring countries to the Seventh Prince?"
After hearing this, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing.
"If that's the case, then Second Brother, your position might be in danger!" the Fifth Prince said after thinking for a moment.
“That’s right. When it comes to receiving envoys from neighboring countries, you, my second brother, should be the one to do so.”
"At the very least, Father should have included all of us brothers. What kind of nonsense is it to assign the seventh prince like this?"
"Yes! Father's actions clearly indicate that he intends to elevate the seventh prince to the throne."
The crown prince's face darkened as he listened to their conversation, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
However, at this time...
A eunuch dressed as a servant hurried in.
"This servant greets the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince."
"Hmm? Little Shunzi, did the Empress Dowager send you with a message?"
"Your Highness, Her Majesty has sent me with a message."
What is it?
"The Seventh Prince is under house arrest, and Princess Rong will arrive in Xia soon."
"What? The Seven Kings are under house arrest?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince exchanged glances after hearing this.
Then.
The crown prince then looked at the eunuch dressed as a servant.
"What is the purpose of Princess Rong's upcoming visit to Xia?"
"This servant is unaware; Her Majesty only instructed this servant to convey this message to you."
"this…"
The crown prince frowned slightly, opened his mouth, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the eunuch left...
The Crown Prince turned to look at the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince.
"My two younger brothers, what do you think is the reason why our seventh brother is being confined to his quarters?"
The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince both frowned slightly, pursed their lips, and shook their heads.
While the three were wondering...
Another servant hurried in.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has sent an imperial edict summoning you to the palace for an audience."
"What? Father, you want me to enter the palace?"
"Yes."
The crown prince nodded.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave now!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"The seventh prince is under house arrest, and Father Emperor has summoned me. What is going on?"
The Crown Prince frowned slightly, then turned to the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince and asked.
At this moment, both of them looked completely puzzled.
"Second Brother, have you gotten into any trouble recently?" the Fifth Prince asked after thinking for a moment.
The Crown Prince shook his head: "I have been staying in the palace very little lately, and I have rarely even visited my mother. What could I have done wrong?"
"If the Seventh Prince is indeed under house arrest, then when Father sees you, will it be to entrust you with the task of receiving the envoys?" The Fifth Prince thought for a moment and analyzed.
After hearing this, the Third Prince nodded in agreement.
"Yes! Fifth Brother's analysis is spot on."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded.
"Very well, then my two younger brothers may do as they please. I am going to see Father. As for what it is, we will discuss it upon my return."
"good."
Here we are.
The three then went their separate ways.
However, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince had only just returned to their respective residences when they were summoned to the palace.
at this time.
In the Imperial Study.
The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince.
“Your Highness, in a few days the envoys from the neighboring country will arrive. You and your brothers should welcome them together and host a banquet in their honor.”
"Yes, Father."
"Yes! Also, the King of Rong Kingdom will probably arrive in the next two days. You, along with Fifth Prince and Seventh Prince, should go to greet him."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."
"This time, Princess Rong has brought a marriage alliance treaty to marry into our Great Xia, becoming a concubine. What are your thoughts on this?"
“Father, it is said that Princess Rong is of unparalleled beauty. If this is true, I wish to marry her and make her my Crown Princess.”
After hearing this, the emperor nodded and then sighed.
"That was what I originally thought too, but she took a fancy to the seventh prince."
