She always plays cards out of the ordinary

In order to prevent any further incidents from happening at the banquet, Mingyu decided to stay with her sister in the pavilion nearby.

On the other hand, Ruolan was also very worried that something might go wrong, so she did not choose to leave.

Because of this, they all happened to witness the current Crown Prince Yinreng coming with the Thirteenth Prince.

As soon as the prince entered the mansion, many princes came forward to greet him.

Seeing this, Mingyu and the others did not dare to be negligent and quickly knelt down to salute, saying in unison: "Greetings, Prince!"

Mingyu quietly looked up and saw that the princes who had held their heads high and were full of vigor just now, now all nodded their heads and lowered their eyebrows to show their submission when facing the prince.

She couldn't help but once again deeply feel the majesty of the imperial power of this era.

Although these princes were all sons of Kangxi, the difference in their status was huge because one of them was named the crown prince and the other became a minister.

Regardless of age, everyone must bow their heads respectfully in front of the prince.

This clear-cut hierarchical scene gave Mingyu a deeper understanding of the system of this feudal dynasty.

The prince waved his hand from a distance and said, "No need to be polite."

Then he took the lead and walked in front of everyone.

"I'm late, but even though I wasn't there just now, I did prepare a gift for my tenth brother."

I saw him talking with a smile on his face and clapping his hands gently.

As the crisp applause rang out, everyone turned their eyes to behind him.

After a while, the prince's attendant was seen slowly walking towards them, leading a horse.

The horse was tall and mighty, with bright fur and strong hooves. It was obviously a rare and fine horse.

"Tenth brother, haven't you always wanted to get a horse to play with?

Just now, the people below happened to deliver a few red-maned horses. I carefully selected them for a long time before choosing the most outstanding one as a birthday gift for you, my tenth brother." The prince said with a smile on his face.

When the princes heard this, they immediately gathered around and looked at the horse carefully from head to toe.

Some touched the horse's head, some looked at the horse's hooves, but the Tenth Prince seemed particularly excited. He walked quickly forward, stretched out his right hand, and carefully and gently stroked the horse's back, feeling the smooth and silky fur.

He kept muttering, "I was just thinking about it, but I didn't expect you to send it to me. I am very grateful for this generous gift."

Hearing the Tenth Prince's words, the Crown Prince couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! It's your birthday today. As your eldest brother, I naturally have to do everything I can to make you happy. Why should we brothers be so polite?"

Mingyu's eyes suddenly widened, as if something was wrong?

Unlike Mingyu's vigilance, the other princes were already mentally prepared for the prince's approachable words.

In the past, the crown prince was arrogant and domineering, and never took his younger brothers seriously. The only one he could take seriously was the eldest prince, the Prince of Zhi.

The only younger brother to whom he could give a favorable attitude was the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, who often followed him on errands.

Later, Yinzhen brought the Thirteenth Prince in front of the Crown Prince, which made Thirteenth Prince's life a little better.

The prince would never even look at people like the eighty, ninety and tenth. The eight had a humble mother, the ninth was cunning and deceitful, and the tenth was just a fool.

The three of them stick together and it's no problem for the prince.

However, this situation changed a few days ago.

That day, the prince went out for a horse race and suddenly fell off his horse and then fell into a coma.

At that time, Kangxi was extremely anxious and summoned all the imperial doctors to treat the prince. Not only all the people who accompanied the prince on the trip that day were also interrogated.

He even ordered a thorough investigation, and suspected that the princes below wanted to harm the prince. If the prince remained unconscious for a few more days, Kangxi would probably turn the court upside down.

Fortunately, the prince woke up after being in a coma for two days. Although he was still the same prince, he had changed his attitude on some things.

It is said that when the prince woke up, he saw Kangxi standing by his bed and tears immediately flowed down his face.

He complained bitterly about his carelessness in causing the Emperor to worry, and confessed that the moment he fell off the horse, his mind was filled with regret.

If he died because of this, how sad would the Emperor be?

Then he cried and complained that he had done so many things that had displeased the Emperor over the years, and that he was truly unfilial.

The prince's shameless crying might seem unworthy in front of other people, but it was different in front of Kangxi.

This is the son he raised since childhood, although he is angry about many things the prince did in the past.

Even as he got older, his vigilance against the prince reached its peak.

But when he saw his beloved son crying to him, Kangxi's fatherly heart immediately jumped up.

From then on, the father and son entered their honeymoon period again. Kangxi often invited the prince into his bedroom. The father and son talked by candlelight at night and slept with their feet touching. It can be said that they were inseparable.

This immediately disappointed the princes below. They knew that many of the things the prince had done before were instigated by people like them.

At times, they even sensed Kangxi's fear of the crown prince.

Everyone thought that if they made a little more effort they could bring the prince down, but suddenly there was a sudden turn of events and the father and son reconciled. What would those people who were waiting to steal their son think?

The crying complaint of the Crown Prince and Kangxi was not concealed. At that time, there were not only the Crown Prince and Kangxi involved. The other princes all had their own channels, so they naturally knew about the Crown Prince's performance.

When everyone learned of his crying, they cursed the prince in their hearts, saying that he was a bad person and had even lost his dignity in order to consolidate his position.

However, they just thought that the prince was just trying to restore his image in front of Kangxi, and things would remain the same in private.

But the prince has really changed. Although he is not the second eighth prince, his attitude towards foreign officials and his brothers has indeed changed a lot.

Everyone thought that the prince was just acting and his true colors would be revealed soon, but they had to wait until now.

So when they heard the prince say such polite words today, they didn't take it seriously. They just silently complained in their hearts that they were just tools to create the image of brothers being friendly and respectful to each other.
