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

Prince Xin went in, sat down, and took a sip of tea.

Prince Rui glanced at him, said nothing, and simply smiled slightly.

Prince Xin's shoulders slumped.

He was laughed at!

The eldest brother knew he would run into the fourth brother and that the fourth brother would make him angry, right?

Yes, even the fourth brother has gone mad now.

With someone as valuable as him back, the fourth brother will definitely try to win him over.

Prince Xin suddenly thought of a problem. He calculated the situation in the court and suddenly smiled.

His brother is going to sit in that position again and become the crown prince.

Before long, the Emperor will be establishing a Crown Prince.

He's more comfortable with his brother being the crown prince.

Across from the women's table, Qi Jingxian happily picked up the snacks from her table and ran over to Qi Zhiyu's table, exclaiming, "Sister, have some! This is delicious!"

Qi Zhiyu smiled and took the plate, pulling her to sit beside her: "What does Xian'er like to eat?"

"Is it sweet and sour?"

"Mmm." Qi Jingxian nodded her little head vigorously: "I like it."

"And there's also sweet grandma's."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhiyu beckoned, and the palace maid serving beside her immediately came over to bow: "Princess."

Qi Zhiyu simply named several dishes and had the palace maids bring them up.

Qi Jingxian's eyes sparkled as she listened, and she swallowed hard, saying, "Sister, you're so kind."

The little girl reached out and hugged Qi Zhiyu's arm, shaking it gently.

Who could resist a soft, cute little girl?

Qi Zhiyu subconsciously reached out and touched Qi Jingxian's head. Then, something flashed through her mind, and she froze for a moment.

Could it be that her father and the others patted her head for the same reason she wanted to pat Qi Jingxian's head?

Qi Zhiyu racked her brains, wondering what she had to do with the word "cute".

Princess Rui looked at Qi Zhiyu's puffed-out cheeks and puzzled expression, and smiled softly.

This child has probably thought of something.

Princess Xin looked on, puzzled. What was going on?

"Yu'er is so thoughtful," Princess Xin said.

"Xian'er is also very good." Princess Rui also liked the second son's child.

The interaction between the four of them was all observed by Princess Wu, who was so angry that she almost wrung out the handkerchief in her hand.

They're chatting and laughing here, but where's her daughter?

Her daughter was the youngest, yet she was sent away to be a nun.

Her daughter... her poor daughter!

As the palace maids brought out dish after dish of exquisite food, and then looked at her own table with the same food as everyone else, the flames of jealousy in her heart surged.

"Princess Xin, you must cultivate a good relationship with Princess Rui. That way, you'll be rewarded with all sorts of benefits in the future." Princess Wu said with a smile, but the sour undertone in her words was really too pungent.

Princess Xin smiled and said, "Thank you for the advice, Princess Wu. I will definitely get closer to Princess Rui."

Princess Wu's fake smile froze.

Princess Xin turned to Princess Rui and smiled, "Sister-in-law, my good days from now on will all depend on you."

Princess Rui nodded with a smile: "Don't worry about that."

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Princess Xin smiled.

Qi Zhiyu looked at Princess Xin, thinking that her second aunt was quite interesting.

No wonder she and her second uncle are a couple.

Princess Wu sat there fuming, like a toad, without saying a word.

Princess Xin is truly a snobbish and petty person.

Now that they see Prince Rui's power is growing and their Wu Prince's Mansion is losing power, Princess Xin is starting to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak.

How shameless!

Just then, Emperor Kangwu arrived, and everyone immediately stood up and bowed.

After Emperor Kangwu sat down, he told everyone to rise. After they expressed their gratitude, they got up and sat back down.

"Second Prince, you've worked hard these past few days." Emperor Kangwu looked at Prince Xin with eyes full of admiration and affection.

With the second son in charge, Northern Yunnan has never gained any advantage on the border.

"This is my duty," Prince Xin said, bowing.

Emperor Kangwu nodded in satisfaction.

The King of Wu said, "My second brother has rendered meritorious service on the border over the years, but he is still too conservative."

Emperor Kangwu took a deep breath. It wasn't worth getting angry at such a fool.

Prince Xin was not angry; instead, he asked curiously, "Why do you say that, Fourth Brother?"

"Second brother is too cautious, always on the defensive," King Wu laughed. "On the other hand, Chen'an went to the border and captured Yanyun City in one fell swoop, while also capturing the Prince of Northern Yunnan alive."

"Such a great achievement... Second Brother, you can't compare."

He simply refused to believe that all the credit truly belonged to Qi Zhiyu.

Before Prince Xin was around, whatever Qi Zhiyu said was law.

Now that Prince Xin has returned, and they are confronting each other, does Qi Zhiyu still have the audacity to claim all the credit for herself?

Prince Xin knew that Qi Zhiyu had stolen his credit, and that if he became estranged from Prince Rui, wouldn't it be difficult to win him back?

After listening, Prince Xin said solemnly, "Fourth brother, you are right."

"I really can't compare to Chen An."

King of Wu: "???"

Did Prince Xin even know what he was saying?

Prince Xin looked at Qi Zhiyu with admiration: "Chen An's strategies and martial arts are beyond my reach."

"Chen An, if there's a chance, could I come to you for advice?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled: "Of course, no problem."

Prince Xin was overjoyed: "I'll be troubling you from now on."

Qi Zhiyu waved her hand: "Second Uncle, we're family, no need for formalities."

"Yes!" Prince Xin replied readily.

You could tell how happy he was just from his voice.

The King of Wu frowned slightly. How could this be?

He wanted to expose Qi Zhiyu's conspiracy to claim credit, not to make Prince Xin prove that Qi Zhiyu had made a contribution!

"You're actually asking a child for advice," Prince Rui teased.

"Your Majesty, it's normal for Second Brother to be so studious and not ashamed to ask questions of those less knowledgeable than himself," said the King of Wu.

Before Prince Rui could speak, and Prince Xin frowned, about to open his mouth, Qi Zhiyu sneered, "Prince Wu, how could you have the nerve to utter such clumsy attempts to sow discord?"

King Xin: "..."

Is my niece really that blunt?

Why not just drop the pretense and say it directly?

Prince Xin had never seen such a scene before!

The King of Wu was not angry; instead, he was secretly pleased. However, he was extremely surprised: "Chen'an, what do you mean by this?"

"Could it be...?"

"You don't need to say anything else to me, I just want to ask you one question." Qi Zhiyu raised her hand to stop the King of Wu from speaking, "What business is it of yours that Second Uncle is talking to us?"

King Wu choked, "Chen'an, you've gone a bit too far. I am, after all, your elder."

"So what?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused. "So what if you were born early?"

"Your early birth isn't your achievement, nor is it due to your ability, so what are you so proud of?"

Prince Xin was dumbfounded. Could someone really talk like that?

He really missed out on too many good shows while he was at the border.

When his older brother told him about things in the capital, he didn't mention these details!

It seems that some things can only be truly appreciated when you're actually there!
