Not only did his father and mother persuade him one after another, even his younger brothers tried to persuade Tan Konglin to attend the ball indirectly.
"I've seen Nian Tu's photo. She's a very cute little female, cuter than the females I've dated before." The second prince approached Tan Konglin and said in an ambiguous tone, "Brother, are you really not curious at all?"
Tan Konglin said coldly: "No."
He threw a thick stack of documents to the Second Prince, "Read it today and write me a 5,000-word report."
"Royal brother! Don't do this!" The second prince's screams were suddenly heard in the palace.
Ever since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disappeared and returned, the wailing of other princes could be heard from time to time in the palace.
Tan Konglin was almost teaching his royal brothers the government affairs step by step, as if he wanted to share his power with them.
The power that should have been fought for life and death is now within reach, but the other princes are not interested at all.
"I really don't want to learn these things, my brother," the Third Prince said with two big dark circles under his tired face, "With you here, it's not our turn to handle these government affairs."
The relationship among the royal family was unprecedentedly harmonious in this generation. Tan Konglin was the popular crown prince, and the other princes had no ambition to compete with him for power.
The second prince only wanted to go out and flirt with beautiful women, and the third prince only wanted to stay in his bedroom and not go out to see people unless necessary. As for the fourth prince, he was the most obedient one. He did whatever his brother asked him to do, but he was obviously not cut out for governing the country.
Tan Konglin rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
If this continues, when will he be able to unload the responsibilities on his shoulders?
Only when his younger brothers are able to take charge on their own and the empire has a new qualified heir, can he, the crown prince, retreat behind the scenes.
Rather than living in a cage-like palace and being forced to mate with females he didn't like, he would rather lose control and turn into a wild beast.
His animal instinct will guide him to find his beloved female.
He just wanted to stay with her, even as a pet.
"These government affairs do not belong to me naturally. You are also the children of our father, the emperor, and our mother, the empress. You should learn to share their worries." Tan Konglin calmly rejected the Third Prince's request for a rest. He tapped the table with his fingers and urged him, "Keep working hard. You haven't finished your task yesterday. You'd better finish it today."
The third prince slumped in his chair with a pale face.
You will never know how much pain it hurts unless you are whipped.
Today, the other princes finally realized how busy Tan Konglin is every day.
The emperor pushed most of the affairs to Tan Konglin.
With such great pressure, it would be strange if you don’t lose control!
"Father has gone too far," the second prince said quietly.
As the eldest son that his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen, had the highest hopes for, Tan Konglin had been subjected to extremely strict education since childhood, with layers of responsibilities piled on his shoulders. Although he always appeared calm and perseverant, it was not that he would not be crushed.
And now, his father, the emperor, and his mother, knowing full well that he already has someone he loves, still force him to meet and marry a female he doesn't like...
The second prince finally understood his brother's feelings and patted his brother on the shoulder generously: "On the day of the ball, I will definitely help you hold Nian Tu back and won't let her disturb you, don't worry!"
Tan Konglin nodded with satisfaction.
"So, in return, can you reduce my workload by half?" the second prince tested.
Seeing that Tan Konglin's expression gradually became stern, the Second Prince sat back in his seat dejectedly, "Hey, I was just kidding..."
……
As the date of the palace ball approached, the entire Central Star became more lively than usual.
The business of custom-made dresses is also booming, with orders skyrocketing.
Many people flocked to Coleman, wanting him to make custom dresses for them, but Coleman turned them all down and focused on making dresses for Nian Tu.
It wasn't until the day of the ball that the dress was finally completed.
Originally, the construction period did not need to be so long, but facing the new year, Coleman wanted to achieve perfection, so he kept striving for perfection and made countless changes to the details before he was slightly satisfied.
"Isn't it a bit too exaggerated..." Nian Tu put on her dress, did her hairstyle, looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, and whispered to the male around her for their opinions.
Lu Zhan and Fei Li were there, and even Xiong took a leave of absence and rushed back, intending to accompany her to the dance.
The three males were all stunned, their eyes fixed on Nian Tu, unable to come back to their senses.
The moon-white long skirt shimmered as if it had life, and the hem of the skirt swayed gently, making the already slender figure of the little female even more delicate and graceful, with a waist that could be held in one hand.
It's not exaggerated, but shockingly beautiful.
The makeup artist who did Nian Tu's makeup also sighed: "You don't need complicated makeup to embellish yourself."
Just a light foundation is enough to make it so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.
Coleman looked at Nian Tu as if he was looking at his most satisfied work, and with a bit of kindness, he praised from the bottom of his heart: "You will be the most dazzling presence at the ball."
Nian Tu's face turned red due to the praise and she lowered her head.
The court ball was not held in the palace, but was arranged at a royal estate which covered a vast area and even had lakes and forests.
At the party, people were toasting each other.
Just as Coleman said, as soon as Nian Tu appeared, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Who is that?", someone whispered.
Most of them didn't recognize Nian Tu, but they recognized Feili beside her.
The marshal, who has never been interested in beautiful women, is now following closely behind the little female, showing an attitude of following and protecting.
The little female has a refined temperament and is otherworldly.
"Which noble lady is this?"
“I’ve never seen it before…”
Amidst the discussion, the Second Prince saw Nian Tu and was immediately startled, feeling numb from head to toe.
Good, so cute!
"Isn't this Nian Tu...", his eyes sparkled, he whispered softly, and turned to ask the Fourth Prince, "Where is my eldest brother?"
"My royal brother said he would show up later, maybe he would be resting in the lounge on the top floor," the fourth prince was not sure.
Tan Konglin did not stay in the lounge.
He changed into the form of an animal and hid in a remote woods.
The huge white tiger closed its eyes and took a nap under the cover of the trees. No matter how lively the party was, it didn't want to join in at all.
Suddenly, the furry ears moved and the white tiger opened his eyes alertly.
There is movement.
Did the Emperor and the Empress send someone to look for you?
Baihu stood up silently and was about to change back into human form when he suddenly heard the second prince's brilliant voice.
The white tiger relaxed its vigilance a little, and suddenly shrunk in size, turning into the appearance of a small white cat, and disappeared into the low bushes.
"The air here is good, there are few people, and there are some wild animals," the second prince introduced this royal manor to Nian Tu, radiating charm like a peacock spreading its tail.
It took him a lot of effort to successfully strike up a conversation with Nian Tu and get Nian Tu out from the hands of the three guardians who were eyeing him covetously.
Although he did it out of selfish motives, he did not forget the agreement he made with his royal brother.
In order to keep Nian Tu away from his royal brother, he simply took Nian Tu outside for a walk.
Avoiding the crowd and being alone is a good time to cultivate feelings.
The second prince was excited.
Nian Tu turned his head and looked at the bushes not far away.
Is it because she missed him too much that her eyes are blurry?
...Why do I seem to see a little white cat over there?
