After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 451 Was His Brain Flooded?
The eldest prince didn't notice anything amiss in the twelfth prince's words and simply agreed, "Yes, yes, the fish the cooks in this manor made today was quite good; it goes very well with rice."

Jinse could only express her gratitude.

Lin Shun, who was standing to the side, was speechless, but he still quickly had someone add new bowls and chopsticks for Jinse.

Urged on by the eldest prince, Jinse picked up her chopsticks...

The dishes for lunch today were indeed very good. The new dish that the First Prince mentioned was indeed sour, spicy, and appetizing, and very delicious. However, Jinse did not enjoy the meal very much.

She always felt that the eldest prince and the twelfth prince were secretly vying for power, and she was caught in the middle.

Finally, when the eldest prince was enjoying his meal and put down his chopsticks, Jinse immediately stood up and called on the maids to get busy.

Some people cleared the dishes, others wiped the tables, and those who had nothing else to do quickly brewed tea and brought it up.

After settling the two masters in, Jinse prepared to find an excuse to leave.

The eldest prince interrupted her.

The eldest prince said with a sad expression, "Sigh, it's been a long time since I've sat down and chatted with you all. It's rare for us to have a meal together, and you're going to run away after we finish eating? You won't even stay and talk to me?"

Jinse paused, hesitated for a moment, and could only say, "This servant just noticed that His Highness ate a bit too much at noon, and wanted to ask someone to see if there was any tea or snacks to help with digestion..."

The eldest prince waved his hand and said, "This is a small matter, just let them handle it!"

He then turned and went to order Jin Ge around.

Seeing this, Jinse could only sit down again and pick up her teacup.

The eldest prince was quite satisfied with this and took a sip of tea. Then he sighed and said, "I was thinking that since the twelfth prince has moved out of the palace, I'll have plenty of time to talk to you all. But lately, I don't know why, I've been dealing with a lot of things every day."

The eldest prince frowned as he spoke, seemingly puzzled. His days as an official were quite leisurely, but now that he finally had a place to travel to, he was busy all the time.

That's really strange.

Of course, with the Crown Prince's brain, he wouldn't waste time on things he couldn't understand.

Turning to other things, she said, "In a few days, I'll be even less free to come over. Sigh, suddenly I don't want to go out at all!"

During the morning court session, the eldest prince was quite pleased that he had surpassed the fifth prince and been awarded the mission to Daliang.

Now that I think about it, if he had gone to Daliang, wouldn't it have taken at least a month or two to get there and back?
Doesn't that mean he won't be able to take Jinse and the others out to play for a month or so?

He was alone with those boring courtiers, heading to Daliang; he was bound to be incredibly bored.

Thinking about it this way, the eldest prince became unhappy again.

The twelfth prince immediately understood what the eldest prince meant, and silently lowered his head to drink his tea, using the teacup to cover the smile on his lips.

Jinse, however, had no idea what was going on.

My immediate thought was, "Is Your Highness going on a long trip?"

It sounds like they're about to leave the capital.

"Yes, during the morning court session, my father issued an edict ordering me to lead a delegation to Daliang to congratulate the Crown Prince of Daliang on his ascension to the throne."

The eldest prince nodded, but couldn't help frowning when he mentioned having to travel all the way to Daliang. However, as he spoke, he suddenly looked at Jinse, his eyes instantly brightening. The twelfth prince felt a bad premonition and was about to speak.

The eldest prince was one step ahead of the twelfth prince.

The eldest prince looked at Jinse and said, "Hey Jinse, do you want to go out and see the world? Now that you're out of the palace, you can come with me to Daliang for a visit!"

"What you're saying, Eldest Brother? Sister Jinse is now the head lady-in-chief of the Twelfth Prince's residence. All the affairs of the residence need to be managed by Sister Jinse. How could she go so far?"

The twelfth prince's face visibly darkened several shades, wishing he could go back to when the first prince had just arrived.

If he had known that the eldest prince still had the intention of abducting people from his residence, he would have wished he had kicked the eldest prince out of the mansion right then and there.

The eldest prince didn't notice anything amiss in the twelfth prince's expression.

"How much could there be in your household? Besides, don't you have Lin Shun and Lin Yi by your side? Those two..."

The eldest prince paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and continued, "Well, Lin Shun... forget about him. Lin Yi seems like someone who can manage things. Why not let him help out for a while?"

Lin Shun looked up at the First Prince for no apparent reason. After thinking for a moment, he realized that although the First Prince had mentioned his name, he wasn't speaking to him. So he lowered his head again and started counting ants.

The twelfth prince took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "I don't have many people around me, unlike my eldest brother who has plenty of people to serve him. Lin Yi often has to deal with some external matters, so how can he have time to manage the affairs of the manor? Besides, it's not like I don't have people in charge of things in my manor."

That person was naturally Jinse.

"Furthermore, Your Majesty has important business to attend to on this mission to Daliang. You can't just go around sightseeing. Besides, there will definitely be officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Court of State Ceremonial accompanying you. How can Your Majesty bring people from my household with you?"

This request is a bit unreasonable!
Even though the twelfth prince said so, the eldest prince still didn't care much.

After thinking for a moment, she said reluctantly, "Then why don't you come along too?"

If he brings Lao Twelfth himself along, he shouldn't have anything to worry about, right?
The eldest prince felt that this was his final concession.

The twelfth prince looked at the eldest prince expressionlessly: "Eldest brother, do you think Father will agree?"

He was, after all, a proper prince, someone whose elder brother could casually bring along on a mission to Daliang at his whim.
The eldest prince stroked his chin and said, "Hmm, that is indeed a problem. In that case, we'll just have to leave you out..."

The eldest prince didn't finish speaking, but the twelfth prince understood.

The twelfth prince wanted to knock the eldest prince on the head, but he took a deep breath and held back.

After glancing at Jinse, he said to the eldest prince, "Eldest brother, have you forgotten what happened when the Crown Prince of Liang came to the capital? Now that you are going to Liang on a mission, it's fine if you go by yourself, but you also have to bring Sister Jinse with you. What are you thinking, eldest brother?"

Based on the Crown Prince of Liang's attitude towards Jinse at that time, and Empress Li's scheming towards Jinse during this period...

The eldest prince still wants to take Jinse with him to Daliang?

The twelfth prince sometimes really felt that the eldest prince's brain was like it had been soaked in water and become stupid.

If the twelfth prince hadn't reminded him, the eldest prince would have completely forgotten about it.

Upon hearing what the other party said, the eldest prince immediately slapped his forehead.

Turning his head to look at Jinse, he saw that her face had turned ugly after hearing the Twelfth Prince's words, and immediately said, "I almost forgot about this. Sigh, then it's not good to take Jinse with me this time. Let's wait until later. When I have another opportunity to go out on official business, I'll take you out of the capital to play."
