The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Wei Yifeng naturally understood his family's current situation.

To put it nicely, his family is the maternal family of Consort De.

But that was before.

With his father's marquis title gone, he, now merely a general, simply cannot support the Wei family.

Now, he can only rely on the influence of the Duke of Wei's family in the army to climb the ranks quickly.

Or perhaps they would achieve great merit on the battlefield and be awarded a noble title!

Only in this way can the Wei family be revitalized!

The marriage with Jiang Shuyi must not go wrong in the slightest.

Wei Yifeng decided to pay a visit to the Duke of Wei's residence.

He has been busy preparing for his new home and hasn't paid attention to the situation with the Duke of Wei.

So, Wei Yifeng prepared some gifts and went to the Duke of Wei's mansion the next day to finalize the marriage.

After receiving permission, the King of Wu entered the Imperial Study in the palace.

After he finished bowing, he noticed that Prince Rui was sitting to the side.

"Your Majesty," the King of Wu said politely, bowing with his hands clasped.

Prince Rui returned the gift with a smile.

"Father, I have requested a few talismans." King Wu took out the talismans.

The eunuch next to him immediately came over, took it, and respectfully presented it to Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu glanced at it and smiled: "A peace charm?"

"Fourth brother, you even went out of your way to get a peace charm?"

"Father, I've recently heard that these talismans in temples are very useful. The calming talisman and the sleep-inducing talisman really can help people calm their minds and sleep peacefully." King Wu smiled憨厚ly.

"Your Majesty, I had someone try it, and it really worked. That's why I asked for a peace charm for you."

"Your Majesty, I only wish for good health."

Emperor Kangwu nodded with satisfaction: "Fourth Prince, you've put your heart into this."

"This is my duty," said the King of Wu, who had no intention of taking credit for the achievement.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Prince Rui and asked, "Your Majesty, didn't Chen'an have a very pleasant conversation with the abbot last time? Why? Didn't the abbot give Chen'an a few amulets for protection?"

A cold glint flashed in Emperor Kangwu's eyes, and the warmth that had just gathered in his heart vanished instantly.

That idiot fourth brother!

Why do you have to compete with the boss?

He's always been like this since he was a child!

They are competitive and always want to be the best!

The fourth brother can't beat the eldest brother. If the fourth brother continues to strive for improvement on his own, he won't say anything.

But while the fourth brother was desperately trying to catch up with the eldest brother, he also wanted to destroy the eldest brother!

Prince Rui smiled slightly and calmly said, "Father is a man of destiny, blessed by Heaven. Why would he need such an external object as a talisman?"

King Wu gritted his teeth inwardly; King Rui was all talk and no action.

Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have been fooled by Prince Rui all these years.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that," the Prince of Wu corrected him. "Father is blessed with great fortune, which doesn't stop me from fulfilling my filial duty as a son."

"Father is rich and powerful, so surely if we have something good, we don't need to think of him?"

Prince Rui simply smiled and remained silent.

The King of Wu bowed to Emperor Kangwu and said, "Father, I am not criticizing my elder brother, but I feel that his idea is wrong."

Emperor Kangwu laughed, toying with the amulet in his hand, and asked, "Are you saying that the emperor doesn't care about me?"

"Your subject did not mean that," King Wu immediately denied.

"Then what do you mean?" Emperor Kangwu pressed.

The King of Wu harbored resentment in his heart.

The difference between what he did and what Prince Rui did was so obvious, yet the Emperor still sided with Prince Rui.

He was clearly the most filial one.

Why does Father have to be so biased?

The King of Wu did not answer immediately.

Emperor Kangwu coldly rebuked, "Speak!"

King Wu, his heart filled with resentment, looked up and said, "Father, I just feel that my elder brother should care more about you."

"Perhaps my elder brother is too busy with official duties and doesn't have much time to think about Father."

"It's also possible that my elder brother is eager to prove himself."

"But what do all these things mean before Father Emperor?"

"Everything should still be done with Father Emperor in mind."

Emperor Kangwu scoffed, "Before these latest peace charms even went on sale, the eldest son sent a batch to the palace."

"A batch?" King Wu asked in surprise.

Why in one batch?

Emperor Kangwu said nothing and simply took out a small sachet from a drawer under the table.

After opening it, he showed the peace charm inside to the King of Wu.

"A safety amulet, the emperor was afraid I'd lose it," Emperor Kangwu said slowly. "I've placed safety amulets everywhere in the palace, wherever I might go or come into contact with them."

King Wu turned to look at King Rui in disbelief.

King Rui simply smiled slightly at King Wu.

The more unhurried and composed he was, the more embarrassed and angry the King of Wu felt.

Prince Rui brought over so many amulets, so what does that make him, who just presented a amulet to his father like a treasure?

The clown?

"Your Majesty is truly remarkably composed," the King of Wu said with a forced smile. "You've accomplished such a momentous task without making a sound."

Prince Rui was momentarily bewildered: "As a son, isn't it instinctive to worry about one's father?"

"Isn't doing something a matter of course?"

"Does something so ordinary really need to be publicized?"

His earnest expression stirred the King of Wu's blood to the brink of madness, making his mind go blank.

"So I'm still one step behind my brother." King Wu gritted his teeth, his hands involuntarily clenching into fists, his body trembling slightly from the tension.

Prince Rui smiled slightly, his expression nonchalant: "It's all out of filial piety; why should there be any distinction between first and last?"

The King of Wu closed his eyes in pain.

He lost again.

"Father, I wish to visit my mother," said the King of Wu, bowing respectfully.

"Go then," Emperor Kangwu waved his hand.

The King of Wu immediately bowed and withdrew, but his steps were somewhat unsteady, as if he had become a little too emotional.

Emperor Kangwu glanced to the side, and the eunuch serving him immediately withdrew and closed the door.

Emperor Kangwu casually tossed the peace charm given to him by the King of Wu onto the table, his expression full of disdain.

"Fourth brother, you're such a disappointment."

He was just moved by the fourth brother's filial piety when the fourth brother attacked the eldest brother.

What exactly is the fourth brother thinking?

"He craves his father's affection too much," Prince Rui saw through it all.

"Absurd!" Emperor Kangwu coldly rebuked, "How could I not have shown him any affection?"

They are all his children, how could he not care?

However, the fourth brother's mind was led astray.

The princes can compete for it.

Just compare openly and honestly.

The fourth brother, however, resorted to all sorts of underhanded tricks. Since he couldn't compare to the eldest brother, he wanted to destroy him.

Fortunately, the eldest brother avoided it.

If it weren't for the eldest brother's plea, and considering that the fourth brother was still young and could be corrected and nurtured, he would have given up on the fourth brother.

The fourth brother is actually quite capable, but... with the eldest brother overshadowing him, his abilities don't stand out.

If there were no eldest brother, the fourth brother would indeed be the most suitable to sit in this position.

"Father, perhaps it's all fate." Prince Rui seemed to understand.

His unusual behavior, along with the existence of the fourth brother, might just be God's arrangement.

But if things had gone according to plan, his ending wouldn't have been good.

"Father, thank goodness for Chen'an," Prince Rui said, choking back tears.
