Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Ji Qichen looked at the rows of wine glasses raised to him and sighed. He had just promised Tangxi that he would not drink so much.

He poured two glasses of wine, toasted one to the crown prince and another to the second prince, then ignored the other officials.

Drink, drink, drink. What kind of wine are you drinking?

Do you want him to be hated by Tang Xi later? !

Could those officials force him to drink it?

Under the watchful eyes of their father, they still have to consider their own weight!

The emperor lowered his eyes and saw that the Third Prince was still not giving face to other officials as usual, so he quietly let down his guard against him a little.

The third prince still seemed to not care about what was happening in the court, as if he could live, but not live either.

The emperor's expression gradually became subtle. A special one appeared among the princes. The other princes were fighting for everything, but the third prince was just watching like an outsider.

No, the third prince just likes to watch other people’s shows and is not afraid of offending others at all.

The officials raised their wine glasses and looked at the Third Prince awkwardly, but the Third Prince simply ignored them and started eating cakes.

Ji Qichen thought there was no problem as he hadn’t eaten anything all day!

The more the third prince ignored the officials, the more satisfied the emperor felt.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were unhappy. After all, those officials were also their subordinates. If the Third Prince didn't give those officials face, wasn't that also giving them face? !

The second prince did not speak immediately. It was the crown prince who spoke first.

The Crown Prince looked at the Third Prince gloomily, then smiled after a moment and said, "Third brother, why don't you drink the wine the officials toasted you?"

Ji Qichen looked back blankly, "Brother? Why are you staggering?"

Then the next second, Ji Qichen began to cover his head and said, "Brother, I seem to be drunk."

Prince:......

Second Prince:...

emperor:……

Official: ...

The third prince's acting skills are a bit immature.

Veins popped out on the crown prince’s forehead. Is the third prince pretending to be crazy?

Is it because I haven't played with him for a long time that he doesn't know his place?

The second prince smiled and said, "Third brother, do you think that my elder brother and I are easy to deceive? A drunk person should not behave like you."

Ji Qichen paused, then recalled in his mind what Tang Xi had said to her.

Ji Qichen's ears turned red instantly, and the redness gradually spread to both sides of his cheeks.

People present: ...?

No, is it so easy for the Third Prince to blush?

The emperor felt like he had seen this scene somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, it suddenly occurred to me that this scene was very similar to the behavior of the concubines when they first met him.

emperor:……

This is not about being drunk, it's clearly about being shy!

Ji Qichen picked up the wine glass, and his hand shook, and most of the wine spilled out. In the process of pouring it into his mouth, some of the remaining wine spilled out.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince: They have never been so speechless!

Some officials who quietly stood on the side of the Third Prince covered their eyes. They comforted themselves that the Third Prince was confronting them by refusing the toast from the officials under the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

Anyway, it’s definitely not that the Third Prince doesn’t want to drink!

Just when the atmosphere in the hall was frozen, a eunuch from the palace suddenly trotted over and whispered the news to the emperor.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince subconsciously turned their eyes to their father, as they thought it was a very urgent matter.

But there was a very strange expression on my father's face.

The emperor immediately became interested. He had come to the Third Prince's Mansion because he had issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage to the two, and he also wanted to see some fun between the three princes.

But now he learned that his beloved minister was in trouble, so he went to the Prime Minister's residence to watch a show, no, to visit the Prime Minister!

It’s so tragic, Prime Minister, that his tendons were cut.

The emperor stood up and left in high spirits.

When the Crown Prince and the Second Prince saw that their father had left, they felt it would be disgraceful for them to stay, so they left as well, taking their officials with them in a grand procession.

The second prince always felt as if he had forgotten something. He looked at the people and things around him and found that he had not left anything behind, so he left.

He completely forgot that he had a wife who came here with him.

The third prince looked at the hall that suddenly became empty, and the smile on his face became even wider. It was great that he didn't have to go back and forth with them anymore.

The remaining officials looked at each other in silence. They also wanted to leave.

"Someone, bring the best meal!"

Now that most people have left, it’s time to eat!

The officials who stayed behind looked at the fragrant food on the table and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with staying!

Yi Linlang and An Shulan were still chatting with Tangxi about some relationships in the court, and asked Tangxi to remind the third prince to be cautious.

Just when they were having a great time chatting, there was a knock on the door, then the door was pushed open, and the third prince appeared with a smile on his face.

But immediately, the Third Prince's smile faded a little. He looked at Yi Linlang and An Shulan in the room in confusion, "You haven't left yet?"

An Shulan replied in confusion, "Why should we leave?"

Yi Linlang was also confused, "Shouldn't you be entertaining others in the hall?"

Ji Qichen said innocently: "The eldest prince, the second prince and the officials of their faction have all left, leaving only a few officials. I asked them to eat first, and I came to see...Tangxi first."

Yi Linlang was surprised: "Ah?"

An Shulan was even more surprised: "Ah?! The Second Prince actually left you alone?!"

Ji Qichen suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, you are still the Second Prince's Consort."

Mu Tangxi: “?”

Mu Tangxi had never seen such a person forget about his wife.

Today was an eye-opener.

Yi Linlang took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll leave first. Tangxi Shulan, see you next time."

An Shulan also spoke up after hearing this: "Then I'll leave too. I won't disturb you two from developing your relationship."

Ji Qichen stepped back to make room for Tangxi's two friends.

From time to time, An Shulan's voice comforting Yi Linlang could be heard in the wind.

On the other side, as soon as the emperor left the Third Prince's Mansion, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince followed him, "Father, are you going back to the palace?"

The emperor suddenly stopped, looked at his two sons beside him, and thought of an interesting idea.

He slowly smiled and said, "I heard that the Prime Minister was murdered by a villain. You should go with me to visit the Prime Minister."

Mu Wenyu, ah, Mu Wenyu, I didn't expect that you would have this day.

There was a gleam of mockery in the emperor's eyes. Who could have thought that such a respected and loved son of heaven would get into trouble so frequently recently?

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed.

Prime Minister Mu was actually harmed by a villain?

What’s more important is that the emperor actually wants to take them with him!
