Xiao Jingyun first glanced at Xiao Cunyu with some concern, then said to the guard who had delivered the message, "Please go back first. I will talk to my brother and will be there shortly."
The guard was not surprised and immediately rode away.
As soon as they left, Xiao Jingyun's friends said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence today to encounter several princes competing for their affection. Jingyun, your brother is too innocent and extremely handsome... Will there be any trouble if we take him along like this?"
Several of them are very familiar with the court situation.
The current emperor has many sons.
The eldest son is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has just turned 15. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been introverted and low-key, not fond of the limelight, but the other princes are different.
The princes of Feng Dynasty who have not made any major mistakes after turning 15 can be granted the title of king. Currently, there are four other princes holding the title.
The second prince was named King of Yue and had a good reputation, but his biological mother was a maidservant of the former queen. Now he is not favored in the palace and has been serving as Concubine Yu for many years.
The third prince, Prince Rui, is the son of the empress dowager and has the most noble status.
The mother of the fourth prince, Prince Qin, Concubine Rou, was very favored, and Prince Qin himself was the most favored by the emperor. If Prince Qin did not have three older brothers, the emperor would probably have risked the wrath of the world and directly made Prince Qin the crown prince.
Then there is King Lu, who is born to the same mother as King Rui.
After the previous queen passed away, the throne remained vacant for several years. The next queen, who was originally Concubine Zhuang, was able to take the throne of queen because she gave birth to two sons and a daughter and her family was powerful enough.
In addition to these princes who have been crowned as kings, there are several princes under the age of fifteen, and there are also quite a few princesses. When there are so many heirs in the royal family, it is inevitable that there will be competition among them. Now that the crown prince has not been deposed, the goals of the princes are almost the same. If the crown prince really abdicates in the future, the battle will definitely be more intense.
The looks from several people at this moment made Xiao Cunyu feel something was strange.
"What's wrong with being good-looking?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
When everyone heard this, their expressions became even more indescribable.
Xiao Jingyun glanced around before saying, "His Royal Highness Prince Lu has some concubines in his mansion."
"..." Xiao Cunyu's scalp tingled. "He's a prince after all, and no one cares about his outrageous hobbies?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Lu is fond of women, but he wouldn't rob innocent people. He himself lacks talent, let alone ambition. Although he is a bit arrogant, he has never committed a heinous crime. The imperial censors in the court will not be idle, so they will always investigate him."
Of course, it’s not that I haven’t participated before.
But Prince Lu had a bad temper. If you offended him, even if you didn't suffer any big misfortune, you would still get into a lot of small troubles.
Even if the emperor was dissatisfied with his son's preferences, he would feel relieved when he thought that his son had a "clean" heart and did not covet a position that did not belong to him, and he would turn a blind eye to such trivial matters.
"Prince Rui specifically asked you and me to go together. Even if you're afraid, you have to go and meet him. Don't worry, Prince Lu has special preferences, but he won't easily embarrass our Xiao family. If he flirts with me..." Xiao Jingyun was helpless. "Try to endure it as much as you can. If you can't, I'll take the blame for you."
There is no way, since Prince Lu is the son of the royal family.
Xiao Cunyu responded with a hum.
Xiao Jingyun felt a little sorry. He had wanted to test his brother's riding and archery skills, but now he had no chance.
Unless he shows his skills in front of the princes, but... his brother's physique is not even enough to be a "teeth snack" for the warriors trained by those princes.
