After the prince was able to travel through time, he stopped rolling!

"You all go down." Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand, signaling the two brothers to leave. They bowed respectfully and then left the room.

"Brother, please go first." The little prince said modestly, his face full of respect and friendliness. His attitude made people feel cordial, but in fact, if it were in an ordinary family, such a scene of brothers being friendly and respectful to each other would not be uncommon. However, in an environment like the royal family, family affection often becomes thin and complicated.

The Crown Prince's behavior puzzled the eldest prince. In the face of such great achievements, why was the Crown Prince willing to give up the limelight to himself? What was the hidden thought behind this?

The two brothers walked out of the Qinzheng Hall side by side, each with different thoughts in their minds.

Meanwhile, Emperor Xuanyuan sat alone in the palace, lost in thought. He asked softly, "Xiao Yuanzi, do you think there is real brotherhood in the royal family?" Xiao Yuanzi, the loyal attendant who grew up with Emperor Xuanyuan, answered without hesitation, "Xiao Yuanzi doesn't know, but I understand that there is a deep friendship between your majesty and the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince is loyal to your majesty, which may be regarded as a special kind of brotherhood." Eunuch Xiao Yuanzi followed Emperor Xuanyuan since he was a child, and the two established a sincere emotional bond. Therefore, he dared to speak frankly in front of Emperor Xuanyuan on many things.

Emperor Xuanyuan listened to Xiao Yuanzi's answer, feeling deeply moved. He knew that he had a deep admiration for the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince was always loyal to him. Is this interweaving of loyalty and emotion the rare brotherhood in the royal family? Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but think about this question, and at the same time he was glad to have such a person who dared to speak out by his side.

Xuanyuan Ruize and Xuanyuan Yihong walked out of the Qinzheng Hall together.

"Sixth brother, please stay. Can you please have a word with me?" The eldest prince looked at Xuanyuan Ruize who was about to return to the East Palace and quickly called out to him.

"Brother, is there anything else?" Xuanyuan Ruize was a little confused. He had given such a great credit to his elder brother, so his elder brother wanted to thank him?

Xuanyuan Yihong looked at the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and didn't know how to ask.

The young prince was also able to read people's expressions and saw that Xuanyuan Yihong was hesitant to speak. He must have some concerns. After all, this was in the palace, and it would not be nice if he said something to his father's ears.

"Brother, why don't you come to my East Palace and have a cup of tea? I recently got some good tea, and I also have a gift for you to bring to the Queen's wife."

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Yihong was delighted and agreed immediately.

The two of them went to the East Palace together. Along the way, Xuanyuan Ruize did not take the initiative to ask questions, but silently observed Xuanyuan Yihong's expression and movements, trying to guess some clues from them.

When he arrived at the East Palace, the eldest prince was a little surprised. He had recently heard rumors outside that the prince was not enterprising, was extravagant, was idle all day long, and even did not go to morning classes. People below him were discussing that the prince was not worthy of the position of crown prince.

The eldest prince had always been skeptical of the crown prince, but when he heard from the emperor that the crown prince had improved farm tools and increased efficiency by more than three times, he began to waver. However, when he arrived at the East Palace, he was confused and shocked by the scene before him.

In the past, the East Palace was a simple and elegant place. As a prince, luxury was considered the bottom line and the decorations were simple and elegant. But now the East Palace is completely different. The floor is covered with expensive jade, the incense is worth a thousand gold, and the curtains are rare floating brocade. The whole East Palace looks magnificent, like a nouveau riche.

The eldest prince couldn't help wondering: "What on earth is my brother thinking?" He remembered that Xuanyuan Ruize used to be a frugal and self-disciplined person who abided by etiquette. How could he become so extravagant now? Just as he was lost in thought, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Brother, why don't you go in? What are you doing standing at the door?" Xuanyuan Ruize said with a smile. He didn't realize how much of a shock his Dong Gong brought to his brother.

"Let's go, let's go now"

Xuanyuan Yihong followed the prince to the pavilion in a daze. Along the way, he kept thinking: Why is this East Palace so different? Is it because of the prince's preference? Or is there another reason?

"You all go down." The little prince asked the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat.

"Sixth brother, why is your East Palace like this?" Xuanyuan Yihong finally couldn't help asking.

"You were not like this before. If the ministers in the court knew about this, how would they criticize you?" No matter what Xuanyuan Yihong really thought in his heart, he still appeared to be heartbroken for the little prince.

"Brother, I don't want to be the crown prince anymore"

Xuanyuan Ruize looked at Xuanyuan Yihong seriously and said.

"What?" Xuanyuan Yihong jumped up and shouted loudly.

At this time, Xuanyuan Yihong finally reacted, took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sixth brother, do you know why His Majesty suddenly gave me such an important task this time?"

"Yes, it was me who suggested that the emperor give the work of pushing the farm tools to you, big brother."

The young prince is not the kind of person who would do good deeds without leaving a name. He originally had the ability to find the eldest prince. As the eldest son, he should be the person most likely to get the position of crown prince besides himself. If he builds a good relationship, after he gets rid of the position of crown prince, at least he will not be targeted, right?

Xuanyuan Yihong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I see, I thought that it was my father who believed in me."

"Big brother, that's great for you. Father must trust you, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to let you be in charge of this matter as soon as I mentioned it," the little prince helped Emperor Xuanyuan explain.

Xuanyuan Yihong nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Sixth brother, do you have any ideas?"

Xuanyuan Ruize pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I want to help you get this credit, so that you can have another bargaining chip in the future competition for the position of crown prince."

Xuanyuan Yihong's heart was shaken, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said softly, "Why do you say that, Sixth Brother?"

The young prince sighed softly, looked at Xuanyuan Yihong firmly, and said slowly: "Brother, I'll tell you the truth. Now I have no interest in the position of crown prince. But the position of crown prince cannot be vacant after all, and someone must take on this responsibility. I think you are the most suitable candidate with your talent and ability. So I want to help you. I hope that when you ascend to the position of crown prince in the future, you can take care of me, your younger brother."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Yihong lowered his head silently, secretly pondering Xuanyuan Ruize's intentions. Although he had always dreamed of becoming the crown prince, at this moment, he had to seriously consider the crown prince's true thoughts and motives.

"Sixth brother, do you really have no attachment to the position of crown prince?" Xuanyuan Yihong still asked with some disbelief.

Xuanyuan Ruize nodded without hesitation, a helpless look on his face, and replied in a heavy tone: "Yes, I really hope to live freely like my fourth uncle and be a free and easy prince. I just don't know if Big Brother is willing to give me this opportunity?"

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yihong couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He clearly realized the importance of this matter. If what Xuanyuan Ruize said was true, then he would undoubtedly be the best candidate for the next crown prince. However, facing such a sudden change, he needed time to think about how to deal with it.
