Fortunately, everyone had already moved outside the Hall of Preserving Harmony; otherwise, if they had stayed inside, the smell would have been unbearable...
However, Fifth Master, who was not far from Third Master, was pulled back by Ninth Master. Ninth Master didn't have time to care about the myna bird at the moment. He was jumping up and down, checking whether his robes and cloak were stained with the filth.
An unpleasant smell filled the air, which spread everywhere after being blown away by the wind.
The servants standing by were momentarily at a loss as to whether to move or not.
The Fourth Prince paid little attention to the commotion over there. He had just taken out a handkerchief from his sleeve when he noticed that the Fourth Prince, Hongli, had already taken out a handkerchief and covered his face among the three little boys in front of him.
The Fourteenth Prince was in no mood to speak at this moment. He silently held his breath, while inwardly cursing his Third Brother.
His Majesty clearly hadn't expected this turn of events. He was just relieved that everyone present was a prince or grandson of the emperor, while even members of the imperial clan could only watch from afar. This was already considered an unparalleled honor.
Otherwise, we'll lose face.
His Majesty said irritably, "What are you waiting for? This is disrespectful before the Emperor. Take him away now."
The Emperor didn't even want to look at his son right now.
The Third Master was helped away by a servant, but...
The Fourteenth Prince peeked out again and saw the Eighth Prince.
Most of what Third Brother vomited just now landed on Myna.
Third Brother is gone, but he still left behind the flavor.
Thirteen silently pulled Fourteenth Prince back, and he sniffed.
Neither the Prince of Zhi nor the Crown Prince spoke, but the Crown Prince wore an expression of keen interest.
This never happened in any year of my past life. It's really... funny. I wish every New Year's Eve was this interesting.
Prince Zhi's face was far from pleasant. He felt that the third prince was doing this on purpose. Who would actually get drunk at the New Year's Eve family banquet? He was just deliberately putting on a show. Today he was messing with the eighth prince, wouldn't he be messing with him tomorrow?
But since the Emperor had already spoken, he naturally couldn't say anything more. He put his hands behind his back, silently moved away from the Eighth Prince, and cursed the Third Prince in his heart.
Right now, the person cursing the third brother the most in their heart is probably the eighth master.
It took the Emperor a while to remember the Eighth Prince whom he had forgotten: "Prince Fulian, go and rest."
"Yes," the servant attending to the Eighth Prince replied in a muffled voice.
No one really cared about watching the fireworks, and they didn't even know when they ended.
Fourth Master first saw Thirteen and Fourteen off. After the three brothers had gone far away, Fourteen suddenly bent over, and his whole body twitched slightly.
Neither the Fourth Prince nor the Thirteenth Prince moved. The Fourth Prince adjusted his cloak and waited for a few breaths before asking, "Have you laughed enough?" His voice was tinged with helplessness.
"I can't stop laughing! I could laugh for a year after what happened today... I've never seen a myna bird's face turn so dark. If Third Brother and the myna bird meet tomorrow, will they still be able to greet each other with smiles?"
The Fourteenth Prince laughed again as he spoke, but he managed to suppress his laughter.
Fortunately, I don't have to go to the study tomorrow. I wonder if I'll have a chance to see my third brother and eighth brother's cold faces when we pay respects to our ancestors.
Since it's New Year's Eve, there's no rush to go to sleep. The Fourteenth Prince felt he could laugh all night long.
After the Fourteenth Prince's face stiffened from smiling, he straightened up and walked towards the Fourth Palace of Ganxi.
The Fourth Prince was still worried about the Fourteenth Prince, so he gave the Thirteenth Prince some more instructions. He also asked the Thirteenth Prince twice if he had been lacking anything recently, since the Thirteenth Prince's wedding was in June. So the Fourth Prince gave him a few more instructions.
When the topic of the wedding came up, even the usually composed Thirteenth Prince became a little embarrassed.
He mumbled a couple of times in response, knowing in his heart that it was his fourth brother's good intention.
"Have you seen that girl yet?" Fourth Master asked.
Thirteen nodded slightly: "Yes, it was Mother De who arranged for my younger brother to meet her, um..."
The Fourth Prince didn't ask any more questions: "Since you're getting married, you should be more mature from now on. If anything happens, just ask your brother for advice..."
Thirteen understood what Fourth Master meant, and without much politeness, thanked him immediately.
As they were talking, the fourteenth man in front suddenly cried out, followed by another muffled thud.
The servants around the Fourteenth Prince panicked for a moment: "Master? Master? Prince..."
Fourth Master glanced around and realized that all he could see now was a figure in the snow.
Thirteen also looked over, and he couldn't help but laugh as well.
Fourteenth Brother is hilarious! He slipped and fell right into the snow. Luckily, there weren't any stones in the snow, or who knows what kind of mess he would have gotten...
As soon as the Fourth Prince glanced at him, Su Peisheng and Fulu quickly stepped forward, one on each side, and together with the servants beside the Fourteenth Prince, they pulled the Fourteenth Prince out of the snow.
Thirteen panicked for a moment, but quickly directed the attendants around him to go forward as well.
Fourth Master quickened his pace, but said, "Let him laugh until he's confused... Later, when we get back to the Fourth Palace in Ganxi, have someone go to the Imperial Kitchen to get some ginger soup to warm him up, and then have someone prepare hot water for him to take a good bath."
Thirteen knew that Fourth Brother was just being stubborn but soft-hearted. He smiled and agreed. When he stepped forward, Fourteenth Prince had already been pulled out by the servants.
Now the Fourteenth Prince's hair was completely white. He ate a handful of snow, wiped his face without a care, and said, "That felt great!"
Seeing his unruly state, the Fourth Prince squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow, and threw it at the Fourteenth Prince's robe: "Stop being so stubborn."
The Fourteenth Prince wasn't afraid at all, and immediately grabbed a handful of snow to return the favor to the Fourth Prince.
It looks like it's about to turn into a snowball fight.
The Fourth Prince was being led by Dongsheng from behind. He also imitated his father by grabbing a handful of snow and throwing it at the Third Prince, who was walking ahead of him.
The Third Prince turned around suspiciously. When he saw it was him, his lips moved slightly, but he did not intend to retaliate.
The Second Prince, who was leading the way, also heard the commotion behind him. Before he could turn around, Haha Zhuzi grabbed him and said, "Why should you care about those two illegitimate sons, Your Highness? You are the legitimate son, you really don't need to care about those two illegitimate sons... They are just like clowns."
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince quietly glanced at Haha Beads. Haha Beads felt a chill run down his spine, but since these were all things taught by the Princess Consort, he thought to himself, and his head, which had been retracted, turned straight back to look at the Second Prince.
The second prince didn't turn around again, but simply raised his hand and coughed twice.
Haha Zhuzi hurriedly went to test the temperature of the hand warmer in the Second Prince's arms, and then went to tuck the Second Prince's cloak in.
While he was busy with his work, the Second Prince also seized a moment to turn around and take a look.
The third and fourth younger brothers also started a snowball fight.
The second prince withdrew his envious gaze.
"The prince's hands are cold. When we get back, the princess will worry again..." Haha Zhuzi rambled on.
The Second Prince lowered his eyes, his face already somewhat pale. He hummed in response, looking somewhat fragile yet indifferent.
