Chapter 989: The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (One hundred and eleven)

"Third brother, you misunderstood. My younger brother's old injury has indeed flared up. Besides, I'm just reporting to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry will continue to operate normally without me."

"Seventh brother is quite self-aware. He needs to take good care of his injuries. He is so weak at such a young age. What will he do in the future?"

The third prince was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe and looked gentle and elegant. He spoke slowly and seemed to be really worried about Zhao Jian's health, shaking his head.

Zhao Jian forced a smile. This elder brother was so arrogant. Why didn't his third brother care about him and teach him a lesson before? Now that the prince has fallen, his followers have also stood up and are using him to establish their authority.

"Thank you, Third Brother, for your concern." As the eldest son, Prince Qing couldn't stand anyone acting like a big brother in front of him. He snorted coldly, "Third Brother, you're so concerned about Seventh Brother. You're acting like a big brother. Even Father doesn't ask whether Seventh Brother will go to the Ministry of Works, but you're being too nosy."

The Third Prince cried out in innocence, "My Royal Brother, you are overthinking things. I am just doing my duty as an elder brother."

Prince Qing taunted him, "Third Brother, you must always remember your duty. I am watching you."

Prince Qing stared at the Third Prince with such sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his third brother.

The Third Prince smiled and said, "With Father and Mother here, there's no need for you to worry. I'm not like some people who would want things that don't belong to them."

"Really? Listen up, Seventh and Eighth Brothers! Your Third Brother is pointing the finger at you."

Zhao Jian nodded quickly, "Brother, I don't dare to even think about it."

Zhao Jian didn't dare to think about anything, but the others understood. Zhao Jian looked weak and incapable of such a big responsibility, and it was not worth anyone's attention.

The Eighth Prince was in a daze and did not join in the conversation.

Prince Qing shook his hand, dissatisfied with the Eighth Prince's distraction.

"Eighth brother, what are you thinking about?"

The Eighth Prince came to his senses and found his three brothers all looking at him. What was he thinking? Was he wondering about his brothers' fate, what would happen to him next? Could he win over his brothers? If not, could he just stay away?

"Ah! I, I was thinking about my fourth brother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Alas, how could it be like this? Back then, we brothers studied together and played together. It was so wonderful!

I don’t know when I will be crowned king. I want to take my mother to my fiefdom and live as a leisurely prince, spending the rest of my life enjoying fine wine and delicious food.

Prince Qing didn't like to talk about the past. What good things were there in the past? He was suppressed by the Crown Prince, and his father also suppressed him, not allowing him to stand out. Now that the Crown Prince was in trouble, Prince Qing didn't want others to suspect him, even though it was inevitable.

He wanted his father to depose the crown prince, but that was when the crown prince had done something wrong and was deposed, and it had nothing to do with him. It was not like this now. The crown prince was deposed, so where would his father vent his anger? Not on him.

"Eighth brother is a nostalgic person."

Prince Qing's words were ambiguous.

The Third Prince said, "Eighth brother is still young, but you're already thinking about being crowned a king and having your fiefdom. Father can't bear to let you go. Besides, we can't bear to let you go either, right, Seventh brother? You can't bear to let Eighth brother leave either."

"Yes, yes, it's still a long time before Eighth Brother is crowned king."

Zhao Jian is almost of age, and he hasn't even been crowned a king yet, but the Eighth Prince is already thinking about being crowned a king. Ha, is he relying on the help of Concubine Shu and the love of his father?

As for going to the fiefdom, being a local emperor would be comfortable, but would the emperor allow it? Especially since Prince Lu was powerful in his fiefdom and eventually rebelled. Walking on the same road, the four people had different thoughts.

There was already a large group of officials outside the gate of the East Palace who wanted to see the emperor and the prince, but unfortunately the emperor did not have the energy to meet them.

The four princes did not want to get too close to the court officials at this time. After the court officials paid their respects, they left one by one.

Among those in the carriage, some were distressed, some were excited, some were afraid, and some wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, but they didn't know that someone had already been on guard against them, and it would not be easy to take advantage of the situation.

No matter how sad the emperor and empress were, and no matter how miserable the prince was, a month later, at the end of the year, at the last morning court session of the year, the emperor issued an edict.
