After the banquet, the crown princess also returned to the East Palace.
The crown prince seemed somewhat gloomy.
"Your Highness." The crown princess approached, "What are you thinking about?"
The crown prince sighed, "The third brother is making quite a stir recently."
In fact, it is not that the third brother is making a stir, but that he is not. In essence, the Prince Rui himself is not to be feared, with no great ambition, he just has his heart set on following Prince Ning.
However, the more favor the third brother receives, the more attention it will draw for Prince Ning from the emperor.
Being the eldest son, he was somewhat different from the other princes.
When the Emperor went down to Jiangnan, he took Prince Ning with him and left him to supervise the country in the court. It seems like he profited, but the whole way, with fatherly love and filial piety, who can say that the emperor's heart won't lean even more towards this eldest son?
