"Seventh Brother, are you kidding?"

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you think there are brothers among us who are more loving than me and your Seventh Sister-in-law?"

The King of Xiang shook his head subconsciously.

Of course not.

Not to mention the fourth brother who was busy sleeping with his concubine in order to quickly give birth to a son, the fifth brother was often chased by the fifth sister-in-law with a kitchen knife. Think about the cold look of the sixth sister-in-law, it is obvious that her relationship with the sixth brother is not very good either.

The third brother who was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum had a good relationship with his third sister-in-law, but it was rare to find someone as thick-skinned as the seventh brother. In front of outsiders, he even wanted to tie his sister-in-law's belt.

He believed that the seventh brother and his sister-in-law were in love.

"That's right. My eighth brother is already an adult, but he is still alone. Father summoned you and me to the palace to let him know that there are many loving couples in this world. Not all of them are like Miss Cui, who not only cheated on her fiancé in advance, but also killed the man she had been close to on her wedding night—"

Whenever Yu Jin mentioned Cui Mingyue, King Xiang's face turned green.

Cuckolding your fiancé in advance - that fiancé is referring to him, right?

Before he could get angry, he was scared back by the following words: Lao Qi said that Zhu Ziyu was killed by Cui Mingyue?

Cui Mingyue escaped from her marriage, and was brought back to the Xiangwang Mansion by the stupid servant he sent to monitor her. He had no choice but to kill her and dispose of the body. Thinking about it later, Cui Mingyue was able to escape, and Zhu Ziyu died. Who else could have done it but Cui Mingyue?

Women have the most vicious hearts!

What shocked the King of Xiang was how Yu Jin knew all this.

"Why do you look so unhappy, Eighth Brother?" Yu Jin asked with concern.

The King of Xiang's lips were dry: "Seventh brother, please don't talk nonsense."

Yu Jin sneered: "Nonsense? My eighth brother is really naive. He actually didn't hear those rumors."

"What rumor?" Prince Xiang couldn't help but ask, ignoring the other party's innocent words.

He was happy that others thought he was simple-minded so that they would not blame him for Cui Mingyue's disappearance.

Yu Jin's unintentional expression of his opinion of the King of Xiang made the King of Xiang feel at ease, and he unconsciously became interested in continuing the conversation.

"Everyone says Zhu Ziyu was killed by Miss Cui, and they also say that my eighth brother was lucky and escaped..."

The King of Xiang's face turned even greener.

To be honest, he was indeed lucky. If he had gotten married smoothly that day, he might have been the one to be killed one day.

But what kind of shit luck is this? He got involved with such a vicious woman and a bitch for no apparent reason. Where can he go to seek justice?

Yu Jin's voice of emotion rang out again: "Now that I think about it, the old saying is true: it is easy to paint a person's skin but difficult to paint his bones; you can know a person's face but not his heart. Miss Cui seemed dignified and virtuous, but who would have thought she would do so many shocking and outrageous things. Eighth brother, don't you agree?"

The face of the King of Xiang had turned from green to blue, looking extremely ugly.

Yu Jin patted the King of Xiang's shoulder sympathetically and said soothingly, "Eighth brother, you should look forward. There is no need to be afraid of the ropes after being bitten by a snake once. Who knows, the emperor may choose a gentle and kind lady for you, someone who even ants would not have the heart to step on."

After comforting her, Yu Jin strode away, leaving the King of Xiang in a daze.

Lady? Who can guarantee such a pure luck thing? What if his father chooses another Cui Mingyue for him?

Thinking of this, Prince Xiang felt dizzy in front of his eyes. In despair, he secretly cursed Yu Jian: "Seventh Brother, this is not consolation, it's pure showing off!"

Humph, do you think he hasn't heard that the Seventh Brother has actually had feelings for the Seventh Sister-in-law for a long time and knows her inside out, which is why they have such love and happiness today.

Knowing everything about someone - the King of Xiang suddenly thought of something and clenched his fists.

No, he couldn't just sit there and wait for his father to arrange a marriage for him.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to get married, but he can’t be blind. Only when he knows the woman’s background well can he be safe!

Prince Xiang hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind. He changed direction and walked back to the palace gate.

It was not until the figure of Prince Xiang disappeared at the palace gate that half of the young man's body appeared in the distance.

Yu Jin chuckled.

He helped push the Empress to this point. His father actually had two candidates. Is he a fool who is doing things for others?

Even though he was 90% sure of winning after today, he didn't want to take the risk of the remaining one point, so he said those words to King Xiang just now.

Otherwise, with Yu Jin's personality, he would never have spent so much time arguing with the King of Xiang.

Yu Jin nonchalantly withdrew his gaze, turned and left.

Lao Ba is really "innocent". After hearing a few words from him, he went to the palace to find the emperor. Haha, this idiot emperor who can't tell the directions after hearing a few words of deception is actually considered. Is he blind?

Yu Jian once again expressed his dissatisfaction with Emperor Jingming's lack of vision and went back home to accompany his wife.

Emperor Jingming was just pulling his hair out of anxiety when he heard a eunuch report that Prince Xiang wanted to see him.

Why did Lao Ba come back?

At such a sensitive moment, Emperor Jingming was stunned for a moment before ordering the eunuch to call Prince Xiang in.

"The son pays his respects to the emperor." As soon as Prince Xiang came in, he performed a great ceremony.

Emperor Jingming couldn't help but frown: "What is this for?"

If someone is courteous to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Although it is not appropriate to apply this to his own son, what was the eighth brother trying to do by leaving and coming back and showing such courtesy?

Hiss—could it be that this kid heard the news?

Thinking of this possibility, Emperor Jingming's face suddenly darkened.

Prince Xiang stood up and took a look at Emperor Jingming's face. His impulse was immediately extinguished.

My father seems to be in a bad mood. He comes back and asks me if I am a little anxious.

Thinking of this, King Xiang hesitated.

"Eighth Brother, what on earth is going on with you?" Although Emperor Jingming's face had regained its composure, there was inquiry in his eyes.

The King of Xiang felt a little sad and stuttered when he spoke: "Son...son had a dream--"

Emperor Jingming's eyes widened: "What?"

Is dreaming popular recently?

He believed the first one, he believed the second one, so would he still believe the third one?

Lao Ba came back and there was indeed a problem.

"What did you dream about?" Emperor Jingming asked in a deep voice.

Yu Jin's words just now had revived the huge shadow that Cui Mingyue had brought to the King of Xiang, making the King of Xiang angry. He said, "I dreamed that Yue Lao said that my son should not marry within three years—"

"so what?"

Under the deep gaze of Emperor Jingming, the Prince of Xiang suppressed his nervousness and said, "I actually think this dream is a bit absurd, but I would rather believe it than not, so I came to report it to you, father."

Emperor Jingming was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand."

The King of Xiang was stunned.

Father agreed so easily? Why do I feel a little uneasy...

Even when Prince Xiang returned to his palace in a daze, he still had a feeling of uneasiness and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Obviously he achieved his goal, so he should be happy.

Not long after Prince Xiang left, Emperor Jingming placed the teacup on the table, which showed that he had made up his mind.

Let’s just take the seventh one.
