Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

When the Emperor came to the Third Prince's residence, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had to come as well, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Emperor and would lead to discord among the brothers.

The emperor, the crown prince and the second prince are all here, so their officials have to give them face and attend the third prince's wedding banquet.

The Second Prince's Consort Yi Linlang maintained her smile and chatted with other ladies when she was suddenly pulled away.

Yi Linlang:?

This familiar feeling.

Yi Linlang looked up and saw that it was indeed the general's wife An Shulan, who was also her former good friend.

It’s just that the Zhenbei General’s Mansion didn’t take sides, so they could only look at each other from afar at the banquet.

Yi Linlang did not resist and obediently followed An Shulan away. The feeling of suffocation in her heart suddenly disappeared a little.

Today... indulge yourself for a while.

Anyway, those ladies wouldn't pose any threat to her.

Yi Linlang quietly turned around and gave those ladies a cold look, but there was still a smile on her lips.

An Shulan pulled Yi Linlang out from among the fawning ladies.

"Linlang, we haven't talked to Tangxi up close for a long time. This is a good opportunity for us to go to Tangxi's room and talk!"

"I understand, but..." Yi Linlang hesitated and subconsciously wanted to look at the Second Prince.

An Shulan interrupted him, "Hey, I know you are worried about running into the Third Prince, but the Third Prince hasn't come back for so long, I really can't wait, let's go check it out first."

"The Third Prince can't stop us from seeing him, right?"

Yi Linlang glanced at Shu Lan helplessly, "It's okay, the Third Prince looks very... kind, he probably won't refuse."

As the Second Prince's wife, she had entered the palace with the Second Prince several times, so she had met the Third Prince.

That meeting left a deep impression on her, and she always didn't know how to face the third prince.

When the Second Prince brought her into the palace, he happened to see her walking by the lake with her cat servant, and then...

As soon as the second prince saw the third prince, he quickened his pace and gave him a hard push from behind where the third prince couldn't see.

Yi Linlang was shocked at the time. She didn't expect that the Second Prince would push the Third Prince into the water without saying a word.

What surprised her even more was that the eunuchs and palace maids around her seemed to have seen and heard nothing, and were indifferent to what was happening.

The second prince looked down at the third prince who was still struggling in the water and said, "Don't come up. Stay in the lake."

Then the Third Prince really did not swim towards the shore in the lake, but silently lifted up the cat on his chest to prevent it from being drowned.

Yi Linlang stood blankly behind the Second Prince, watching him leisurely enjoying the scenery, as if the Third Prince standing in the water was also a part of the scenery.

From that day on, Yi Linlang gave up her fantasy of love and concentrated on fulfilling her duties.

But when she heard that the emperor had given Tangxi to the third prince, that scene came back to her mind again.

There is a sense of guilt, and even more of a worry about Tangxi.

"Shulan, do you think the third prince can protect Tangxi?" Yi Linlang looked at An Shulan, who was holding her hand and leading the way.

An Shulan paused for a moment, then started walking again, "If the Third Prince can't be saved..."

Before she could finish her words, the two of them met the Third Prince.

They quickly bowed to the Third Prince, who recognized them at a glance and said, "Oh, you are Tangxi's friends. You can go to the room and chat with Tangxi first."

Then, the third prince quickened his pace and entered the hall.

Only Yi Linlang and An Shulan were left standing there in a daze. How did the Third Prince know that they were Tangxi's friends?

Moreover, the smile on the Third Prince's face just now was almost overflowing, and the Third Prince's face seemed to be redder than before...

Yi Linlang and An Shulan looked at each other. It seemed that the Third Prince liked Tangxi very much!

This feeling was most obvious in Yi Linlang's eyes. The Third Prince whom she saw last time seemed to have a hint of death in his eyes, and he allowed himself to be bullied by the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

But now the third prince seems... alive?

Tangxi has a great influence on the third prince, so they feel relieved.

At least Tangxi won't be wronged in the Third Prince's Mansion.

Moreover, there is one advantage of Tangxi marrying the third prince. His palace has just been built, and there are no other women in the palace who would quarrel or murder each other for favor.

An Shulan was interrupted by the Third Prince just now and wanted to say that if the Third Prince could not protect Tangxi, she could let Tangxi live in the General Zhenbei's Mansion.

Over the years, she has undermined the power of Xu Guangzhu's mother and can make the decision!

Even after seeing that the Third Prince liked Tangxi very much, An Shulan still kept this idea.

The third prince can't even protect himself, so how can he protect his wife?

The two continued to walk towards Tangxi's room with firm steps.

At this moment, the three people are in different positions.

The second prince, the third prince, and the neutrals.

Mu Tangxi was eating pastries and petting the cat when the door suddenly opened.

Mu Tangxi:?

She calmly turned her gaze away from the raccoon and raised her head.

Mu Tangxi was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Linlang, Shulan?"

Yi Linlang and An Shulan originally wanted to tell Tangxi to protect himself and come to them when he needed help.

As a result, when they opened the door, they saw that Tangxi's veil had been lifted, and she was leisurely eating pastries and touching Li Nu!

As married people, Yi Linlang and An Shulan never expected that the scene of their meeting would be like this.

But Yi Linlang quickly closed the door behind her to avoid being seen by others.

They looked at Tangxi who raised his head calmly and opened his eyes wide, and suddenly laughed out loud.

Long time no see, Tangxi is still very cute!

The third prince's smile faded a little before he entered the hall.

If his eldest and second brothers knew that he liked Tangxi, he wondered if they would use the same tricks they played on him in the past to torment Tangxi.

Seeing that the groom, the Third Prince, had no choice but to return, the Crown Prince said, "Did the Third Prince get lost? You really made me wait so long."

Ji Qichen nodded with an unchanged smile, "I am indeed lost. Today is my first time coming to the newly built Third Prince's Mansion, so please bear with me, brother."

He had no sense of dignity to begin with, and since the prince had said so, he might as well go along with it.

This left the prince speechless.

The second prince smiled and offered a toast, "Since the groom, Third Brother, is back, I, the second brother, will toast you a glass!"

The officials under the Second Prince also hurriedly raised their glasses and toasted the Third Prince.

The prince laughed when he heard this and raised his glass, "Third brother, I toast to you too, you have to give me some face and drink it up."

The emperor looked at everything in the hall indifferently.
