The Third Prince and Fourth Prince, who were drinking on the side, almost dropped their wine cups when they heard the First Prince's words. The Fifth Prince and Seventh Prince even fell to the ground.
[Brother, what kind of lewd words are these! Is this something they can listen to? Is it too late for them to leave now?] The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince pondered bitterly.
"Brother, have you had too much to drink?" The Crown Prince didn't take the eldest prince's words to heart and said with a smile.
"What are you drinking too much for! I'm not joking with you!" The eldest prince looked at the crown prince with displeasure.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go see Little Thirteen and the others!" Fifth Prince and Seventh Prince stood up and said.
"Go!" the Crown Prince said. It was no wonder that the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince wanted to leave; it was mainly because the First Prince's words were too audacious! He was almost frightened by the First Prince's words.
When the Fifth Prince left, he took the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince with him. "Second Sister-in-law, let's go find the Thirteenth Prince and the others!"
"Okay!" He Xue felt a little uncomfortable seeing the Fifth Prince, who was older than her, calling her Second Sister-in-law.
"Fifth Brother, my sister and I haven't finished talking yet!" Ninth Prince said, looking at Fifth Prince who was holding him by the collar.
"Go find the Thirteenth Prince and the others first!" The Fifth Prince showed no intention of letting go of the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince was also taken away by the Seventh Prince.
[What are you talking about! This trip to Yuqing Palace was too thrilling!] The Fifth Prince thought to himself.
The Fifth Prince was worried that if the Ninth and Tenth Princes heard what the First Prince said, those two hotheads might just grab their weapons and run to the Qianqing Palace, so he felt more at ease keeping them under his nose.
The Seventh Prince thought to himself, "The merit of following the emperor seems quite good!"
While talking to the Crown Prince and the First Prince, Xuejian went directly to find the First Princess Consort and the others!
"Second Prince, I'm not joking with you!" the eldest prince said seriously. "I have military power, the fourth prince has money in the Ministry of Revenue, and the ninth prince has quite a bit of money too, and the third prince has..."
The eldest prince thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what use the third prince, a bookworm, was. "Third prince, what do you have?"
The Third Prince said with a bitter expression, "Eldest Brother, thank you for remembering me at this time!"
"You're welcome. If this is ever done again, none of us will escape today!" the eldest prince said.
"Brother, please stop talking! You've scared them half to death! Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother have run away!" the Crown Prince said.
"I'm talking to you about serious matters!" the eldest prince said stubbornly. "Right now, you have the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. Your father-in-law also has quite a few soldiers under his command!"
"Brother, I appreciate your kindness, but we shouldn't risk being branded as disloyal and unfilial for the sake of an eighth brother."
The more he wants something, the less I will let him have his way. This incident alone will not allow Father Emperor to punish him, and it may even implicate He Xue.
We must deliver a fatal blow, ensuring he has no chance of recovery!
"Fine, fine, you always have so many reasons. Do whatever you want!" the eldest prince said defiantly. This was the result of his thinking all night. He couldn't rest easy if he didn't deal with the eighth prince. His father, the emperor, would definitely not deal with the eighth prince easily, so it would be best if the crown prince dealt with it personally.
If the Crown Prince wants to deal with the Eighth Prince personally, he can only rebel; otherwise, his father, the Emperor, will not agree.
He barely slept last night to come up with this idea, and he even lost a few hairs, but the Crown Prince didn't care at all. What a waste of his efforts.
The Crown Prince knew that the First Prince was thinking of him, but now that he had He Xue, he didn't want to do anything radical, and most importantly, he didn't want to do anything that would upset his father.
"Elder brother, I toast you!" The Crown Prince raised his wine cup to the eldest prince.
"Hmph!" The eldest prince made a sound through his nose, but still drank the wine.
"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue drinking!" the Crown Prince said to the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince.
When He Xue arrived at the next room, she saw only the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Consorts, but not Tana.
When the Fifth and Seventh Prince's wives saw He Xue enter, they stood up awkwardly. Although He Xue was younger than them, she was now the Crown Princess.
Moreover, the men in their family were not as close to He Xue as the eldest, third, and fourth princes, so they seemed a little nervous.
"Please sit down, sisters. We're family, no need to be so formal!" He Xue couldn't bring herself to call them younger siblings, so she simply called them older sisters.
Upon seeing this, the First Princess Consort immediately said, "Don't worry about it so much. In private, we can talk about our own things. He Xue will call you elder sister, and you can call He Xue younger sister."
"When others are present, address her as Crown Princess! I wonder if the Crown Princess is satisfied with my arrangement?" the First Princess Consort joked.
"I will follow the arrangements of the Prince Zhi's wife!" He Xue replied with a smile.
With the arrival of the First Consort, the Fifth and Seventh Consorts also felt much more relaxed.
"Sister-in-law, why didn't Tana come with you?" He Xue asked.
