Chapter 437 The First Prince's Advice

As the eldest prince spoke, he glanced at the twelfth prince.

This sight startled him, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

He looked at the twelfth prince with a puzzled expression and asked, "Twelfth Prince, why are you looking at me like that? Why do you look so strange?"

It looks like I'm going to get constipated...

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not ask the twelfth prince if this was true.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Could it be that you, kid, don't welcome me here?"

Thinking about it, it seems that since he walked in, the other person hasn't said a second word to him, and that little expression of theirs doesn't look like a welcome gesture at all.

Jinse had already left, so even if the Twelfth Prince was unhappy, he had no choice but to give up.

Out of consideration for the fact that the eldest prince had treated him fairly well, the twelfth prince gave him a polite smile and said, "Elder brother is too kind. How could I not welcome you? I just didn't expect you to come so suddenly, and I was a little caught off guard!"

Before the eldest prince could ask, the twelfth prince raised his hand and said, "Elder brother, let's go inside and sit down to talk."

Why are they standing outside the yard the whole time?

The sun is quite strong now, and even with some shade, it's hard to stand for long.

The eldest prince, who disliked the heat, immediately nodded upon hearing this and walked smoothly into the main hall, intending to sit in the main seat after only a few steps.

He was really used to it; when he came to the Twelfth Prince's residence before, he always sat in the main seat.

But this time, before the eldest prince could sit down, the twelfth prince, taking advantage of his smaller stature and agility, took the lead and occupied the main seat.

Although the eldest prince was the elder brother, this was still the twelfth prince's residence, and the twelfth prince still had the airs befitting a master. The eldest prince didn't think much of it, perhaps because the twelfth prince had taken his place so for granted that he hadn't even realized what was going on.

Since the head seat was already occupied, he naturally sat down in the guest seat.

Then, the eldest prince began to criticize the twelfth prince.

“I’m telling you, you’ve already moved out of the palace, it should be a housewarming celebration, why didn’t you send out invitations? You should at least prepare a banquet, so you can collect more gifts. You don’t have any income right now, how can you not think of something at a time like this?”

The twelfth prince glanced at the eldest prince silently and promptly refused, saying, "No need."

The twelfth prince didn't care about the small amount of money given as a gift. Besides, he didn't need to associate with unfamiliar people at this time.

The eldest prince looked at him with a disappointed expression: "Take what you're entitled to, why try to save it for them?"

Since he started serving in the court, the eldest prince knew that among those people in the court, who didn't occasionally accept gifts and money? If they didn't accept them, how would their large family survive?
Since those people can accept it anyway, why should we, as princes and nobles, save money for them?

The eldest prince berated the twelfth prince: "You have quite a few people in your household now. How can you manage without being on duty and having a source of income? Are you just relying on the meager allowance from the Imperial Household Department every year?"

As he spoke, the First Prince glared at the Twelfth Prince: "If we rely on the Imperial Household Department, we can't let Jinse get too thin from starvation!"

The twelfth prince completely ignored the eldest prince's rambling.

What useless things have you been babbling about?
Does he really have to rely on holding banquets at his mansion from time to time, sending out invitations everywhere, and collecting gifts to support Jinse?

Regardless of whether he wants to do it or not.

Doesn't the eldest prince consider whether it's appropriate for him to do this, as a minor prince who has just moved out of the palace?
