The Third Prince walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity angrily. Yinzhen, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince completely ignored him, which made him extremely angry.
Just as he was getting furious, a voice came from behind him.
"Third brother".
Turning around, he saw the prince walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Prince is blessed."
The prince helped up the third prince who was paying him respects, and said with concern, "You and I are brothers, why do you have to be so polite?"
Hearing this, the Third Prince's heart skipped a beat. He was the closest in age to the Crown Prince and knew him very well. This was the first time that the Crown Prince had been so kind.
"Is there anything wrong, Prince?" asked the third prince.
The prince laughed and said, "The Emperor was able to reinstate me as the crown prince thanks to my third brother who reported to the emperor that the eldest prince had used witchcraft to harm me. Although I have never said anything, I will always remember my third brother's friendship in my heart."
The Third Prince had a complicated look in his eyes. God knew that the reason he submitted the memorial was entirely to overthrow the First Prince, and he had no intention of helping the Crown Prince at all.
However, since the prince thinks so, it is not a bad thing.
The Third Prince thought about it, a smile welling up in his eyes. Judging from the current situation, the position of the prince in front of him is still very stable. If he makes friends with him, there will be great benefits.
Thinking of this, the third prince hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. As a subject and a brother, I should clear the Crown Prince's grievances."
Looking at the Third Prince who was so respectful to him, a sneer appeared on the corner of the Crown Prince's lips, and then he quickly adjusted his facial expression, "Third brother, you are too modest. By the way, just now at the banquet, I saw you arguing with the Ninth and Tenth Princes. What happened?"
Hearing the Crown Prince talking about Yinzhen and the Tenth Prince, the Third Prince's face was filled with anger again, "I originally wanted to congratulate the Ninth Prince's concubine, but she was so ungrateful that she joined forces with the Tenth Prince and Abahai to mock me."
If Jiang Ranli were here at this moment, she would have vomited up all the food she had eaten the previous night after hearing what the Third Prince said. Was he congratulating her? He thought everyone else was stupid.
The Crown Prince patted the Third Prince's shoulder gently, and consoled him like an elder brother who loves his younger brother, "Okay, why bother with a woman? The Eleventh Prince has always been simple-minded, you don't need to pay any attention to him."
"Old Nine and that An Jia are really going too far." The more the prince tried to persuade him, the angrier the Third Prince became, and there was a hint of gritted teeth in his words.
When the prince saw this, he said, "The emperor values the ninth brother very much, and he also values An Jia. You should not be against them. You will gain nothing. Besides, we are brothers and we should give in to them."
At first glance, the prince's words seemed to be comforting the Third Prince, but in fact, he was trying to provoke a dispute, making the Third Prince's anger grow more and more intense.
"I don't know what the Emperor is thinking. That ninth prince is a heretic. He doesn't want to be a good prince but instead messes around with business affairs. And that An Jia is even more rebellious. A woman actually runs a brothel. But the Emperor doesn't blame them at all. I've been cautious and attentive in everything, but in the end, I haven't received as much as they did with just one word." The Third Prince became more and more aggrieved.
Seeing the anger all over him, the prince's smile deepened, "Okay, it's because the emperor values them. Don't think about it. Let's go and have a drink."
After the New Year's Eve banquet, the prince walked back to Yuqing Palace with a smile on his face.
