Two carriages came slowly from different directions.

The left carriage is different in size. It is more spacious than the average carriage, obviously to ensure that the prince has enough space. Yes, it is the prince's carriage. The body of the carriage is mainly bright gold, representing the dignity and glory of the royal family. The wheels and shafts are engraved with complex dragon patterns, which are vivid and powerful, as if real dragons are flying. The top of the carriage is inlaid with crystal gems, which emit a dazzling light whenever the sun shines on it.

The interior of the prince's carriage is even more exquisite. The seats are made of the finest silk and velvet, and are extremely comfortable to the touch. The interior of the carriage is full of precious calligraphy and paintings, each of which represents the royal artistic taste. In addition, there are some exquisite incense burners and incense sticks, which always make the carriage filled with a faint fragrance.

Although the carriage of Prince Duan on the right is slightly smaller than that of the Crown Prince, it is unique in design and decoration. The color of the carriage is darker, mainly black and gold, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling. The patterns on the wheels and shafts are no longer dragon patterns, but fierce beasts such as tigers, leopards, eagles and vultures, showing the power and majesty of Prince Duan.

The interior of Prince Duan's carriage is more practical and comfortable. The seats are made of soft leather, so you won't feel tired even if you sit for a long time. There are also some small tables and cushions inside the carriage for passengers to place books, wine glasses, chess boards and other items. The whole carriage gives people a warm and comfortable feeling, as if it is a mobile mansion.

When these two carriages are driving on the road, they are undoubtedly the most eye-catching existence. Whether it is the prince's carriage or the prince's carriage, they represent the power and culture of this era, and also show people's pursuit of exquisite life.

The two most famous men in the capital came to the general's mansion at the same time, which naturally attracted the people along the way. Passersby were curious and talked about it. Everyone knew the prince's carriage. As for Prince Duan, people only heard of him but never saw him, so they all guessed whose family the person in the other carriage belonged to.

Seeing that this unfamiliar carriage was similar in appearance to that of the Crown Prince, people did not dare to talk too loudly for fear of offending an important figure whom they could not afford to offend.

Amid the discussion, one of the bearded men exclaimed in surprise: "Oh! I know who is in there!" A woman next to him squinted at him and said: "Oh, really? Did you see the people in the carriage? You said you know. Then tell me who is in there. How dare they do the same thing as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" The others echoed the woman.

The bearded man looked at the carriage on the left and then the carriage on the right: "Didn't you say you heard it? Prince Duan entered the capital last night. Before Prince Duan returned to the capital, apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which other prince in the capital dared to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I guess it must be Prince Duan." The man behind him also said: "Indeed, it seems that Prince Duan's carriage is more impressive." A woman looked at Prince Duan's carriage and said: "Prince Duan has never been favored. This pomp was earned by his own flesh and blood." Before she finished speaking, her daughter covered her mouth: "Mom, you don't want to live anymore. You dare to talk about the prince. If it is spread by someone with ulterior motives, you will lose your head."

A girl of about 17 or 18 years old next to him had eyes full of expectation: "I heard that Prince Duan went to the border at the age of ten, went to the front at the age of twelve, led troops at the age of fifteen, and became a god of war. During this period, he only returned to Beijing twice. I wonder what Prince Duan looks like." Another girl said: "There are rumors that he eats human flesh raw. We should stay away from him."

As the carriages were about to collide, both drivers pulled the reins tighter.

Qing Ming turned back to the carriage: "Your Majesty, it's the prince."

A cold voice sounded: "He actually dares to come?" Qingming shuddered and thought: Is this prince going to be in trouble?

As the carriage slowly came to a stop, the prince's attendant jumped off the carriage first, stood firmly on the ground, and then respectfully extended his hand to greet the prince. The prince gracefully extended his hand, which was steadily supported by the attendant, and then slowly stepped off the carriage. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to show the prince's majesty and dignity. The people around him bowed their heads in greeting, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

In contrast, the way Prince Duan came out of the carriage seemed much more casual. He did not need the help of the guards, but jumped off the carriage easily. His movements seemed casual, but in fact, they revealed an invisible domineering aura. Although the people around also saluted Prince Duan, they did not show fear and respect like they did to the crown prince, but showed a kind of affection and admiration. The appearance of Prince Duan made the whole scene relaxed and pleasant.

Who spread the rumor that Prince Duan ate human flesh?

Their expressions and atmosphere formed a sharp contrast. The prince's eyes were cold, with a provocative smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was testing the reaction of Prince Duan. On the other hand, Prince Duan had a blank expression and deep eyes, as if he was hiding his inner emotions.

"Fourth brother, it's really rare to see you." The prince was the first to break the silence, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Prince Duan nodded slightly and responded in a flat tone: "My dear brother Crown Prince, you are too kind. Isn't it my duty to care about my fiancée?" He emphasized the word "fiancée" very clearly.

"Hmph, don't make yourself sound so affectionate." The prince said disdainfully, his eyes revealing his disdain for Prince Duan. He continued: "Oh, by the way, fourth brother. It seems that your fiancée doesn't want to marry you!"

Prince Duan was not angered. He responded calmly: "Whether it is noble or not is up to the public. But you, the eldest brother, should be more restrained in your behavior recently."

The prince's face darkened after hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Constrain yourself? In the eyes of Fourth Brother, do I think my behavior is out of line?"

"At least it's within the rules." Prince Duan said lightly.

The conversation between the two became increasingly confrontational, and the air was filled with gunpowder. Although they remained calm on the surface, their inner discord and hostility were already obvious.
