No matter how entangled and twisted the palace was because of the disaster in the East Palace, Qin Zhi had a lot of fun playing with the princes and princesses in the Forbidden Garden.

The autumn wind blew the flags fluttering. It was the 26th year of Jingzheng. This year was the first hunting trip after the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan, the legitimate son of the queen, was appointed as the crown prince. The military generals were all looking forward to the crown prince's performance, but due to the infighting in the harem, the crown prince missed the hunting trip.

Qin Zhi didn't care whether his ministers were disappointed or not, anyway -

what!

It seemed that he was the one who asked the prince to go back.

It is said that there is a reason why the prince obeyed the order and returned to the palace or not.

If the prince ignores the consequences and insists on staying, people will inevitably think that he is heartless and unworthy of following, and his past kindness and virtue will become a hypocritical mask.

The prince returned to the palace, but people felt that he was weak and incompetent. He couldn't even manage his own palace. How could he manage the whole world if he couldn't manage his own house? The palace couldn't even guard the gate of the concubine's courtyard who was pregnant, so someone broke in and his wife and children suffered as a result.

The most cruel part of this plot was the way Concubine Jiang was harmed.

If it was a common method used in the harem, such as Concubine Jiang's miscarriage due to eating the wrong thing or slipping and falling, it would not affect the image of the prince. However, it was the murderer who broke in and used a weapon to kill people.

Qin Zhi glanced at the well-behaved eighth prince Qin Mingyan in the crowd, and the fourth prince Qin Mingyun who was whispering with his sister, the eighth princess Qin Lingwei.

"I will go back tomorrow."

"Big brother, Third brother is not here, Fourth brother, you are not in good shape this year. Why are you so lazy? Are you dissatisfied with me?"

"I am innocent. Father loves to bully me. I brought three sisters with me this year. I am very satisfied to get third place."

The Fourth Prince smiled and turned his gaze from the Seventh Princess, the Eighth Princess and the Tenth Princess, successfully earning indignant glares from several of them.

Qin Zhi smiled and ignored the laughter and playfulness of the five brothers and sisters. He glanced at the sixth prince Qin Mingjun who was usually at the bottom of the list, raised his eyes to look at the eighth prince Qin Mingyan, and said:

"Old Seven and Old Nine are not here, but it's Old Eight. I never thought that Old Eight would win the first prize. Old Eight, come here."

"Father." The eighth prince pursed his lips slightly, suppressing the raised corners of his lips. The shyness in his eyebrows was dispelled a lot by the excitement in his eyes.

"Every year, the winner of the hunt will be rewarded. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"I am a son of the Emperor, born with a golden medal, a purple ribbon, and a jade certificate. I have been dressed in red clothes since I was a swaddling child. Every hair on my body is a gift from my father. Now I am following the officers to hunt and fight beasts and learn military skills to strengthen the army. This is also a favor from my father. I am blessed with all the blessings, but I have only one regret."

Qin Zhi's thumb gently stroked the sleeve that was accidentally hooked, and sighed softly: "Speak."

I have to change this dress, it's too awkward.

He was upset in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

"I, my fifth and seventh brothers, went to Annan, and now I am the only one who has returned home. Annan is humid and malaria-ridden, and it is not a place to live for a long time. The climate in the north and south is very different, and the water and soil are difficult to adapt to. Seeing that the snow is coming to the end of the year, at this time of reunion, I can only send you a message of the bright moon from afar."

"Do you want me to summon them back to the capital?" Qin Zhi smiled, and under his wide sleeves, his hands pulled the sleeves with threads on them, making them even more tattered.

"It's rare that you care so much about your two brothers. Well, I'll just do it."

The end of the year is approaching, and interrupting the work of the fifth and seventh princes in accumulating merit is one thing, but receiving the imperial edict to go to the capital, the journey is long and time is tight, so they must hurry.

If the two sons had been a little more obedient, they would have been derailed on the journey from south to north if one of them caught a cold.

His son shouldn't be that stupid, right?

The Eighth Prince has made his move, and it depends on how the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince react.

Qin Zhi waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

Lao Ba will definitely offend two people if he does this. Does it look like I am going to die? So anxious.

Qin Zhi raised his hand and called the eunuch to bring a mirror, and then he looked around in the mirror, which showed every detail.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he will die young.

What is Lao Ba trying to do? At the age of seventeen, he has not figured out the future yet, but he loves to jump around.
