In the garden.
The Third Prince took a sip from his wine glass and said, "Why hasn't Second Brother come out yet? Could it be that now that he has a beautiful woman in his arms, he has forgotten us brothers?"
After hearing this, Xie Yue smiled and shook his head. He continued, "Look at what Third Brother said... It hurts our brotherhood. Maybe Crown Prince Brother was busy for a while and that's why he was delayed for some time. Third Brother should be more patient."
After speaking, Xie Yue paused for a moment and waved to his Sixth Brother, "Come on, Sixth Brother, let's all toast to our Third Brother."
Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince pursed his lips and raised his glass slightly towards his Third Brother. "Third Brother, I'll drink it. You can do as you please."
Xie Yue also raised the wine glass in his hand to his third brother, "Third brother, would you like to join us?"
The third prince: "..."
Seeing that his fifth brother insisted on coming over to drink with him, the third prince suppressed his displeasure, raised his head expressionlessly, and drank the wine in the glass.
"okay."
The third prince said in a calm tone.
Seeing this, Xie Yue smiled and said, "How is it? Third brother, is the wine in the Crown Prince's Mansion delicious?"
"not bad."
The Third Prince didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. After a casual perfunctory remark, he turned around and asked Bai Qiuyuan: "I never thought that Lord Bai would come to the Crown Prince's Mansion in person for the banquet."
Bai Qiuyuan was originally discussing poetry and songs with Meng Huaijun, and the two were having a great time. When Bai Qiuyuan heard the words of the Third Prince, his eyes paused slightly, and his expression was indifferent: "Your Highness the Crown Prince sincerely invites me, so I will naturally come."
"So, it seems that Second Brother and Lord Bai have a very good relationship?"
There was a hint of temptation in the third prince's words.
The smile on Xie Yue's lips gradually faded.
Zhai Chengwen seemed to be thinking about something.
Bai Qiuyuan: "I don't know what the Third Prince wants to say. I guess that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to invite me to the banquet because of our trip to Jiangnan, when we worked together for His Majesty."
In other words-
The only reason he and His Royal Highness had any contact with each other was because they had worked together on a case before.
Now that His Highness has made an appointment, he has to come.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king, and he is just a subject.
"I wonder if the Third Prince has anything else to ask?"
Bai Qiuyuan remained calm and composed, seemingly not caring about the Third Prince's deliberate attempt to test the relationship between him and the Crown Prince.
As a favorite of the emperor, Bai Qiuyuan could barely guess what the emperor was thinking. Now the emperor really valued His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Moreover, His Majesty is already considering abdicating and allowing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the next emperor of the Kingdom of Li sooner or later. His Majesty doesn't care about the relationship between His Royal Highness and his subjects. If the Third Prince wants to use this to sow discord in front of His Majesty, then his calculations are probably wrong...
"This prince..."
"Third Prince, I've only been away for a moment, and you're so anxious to see me?"
The Third Prince was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Xie Xi who had returned to the banquet, "Why? The wine in the Crown Prince's Mansion is not tasty?"
"Brother Crown Prince is finally here."
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little off, Xie Yue quickly spoke to ease the situation: "Brother Three insisted on having a drink with Brother Crown Prince. Doesn't that mean he's been thinking about it?"
"I see."
Xie Xi nodded, picked up the jar of wine with one hand and placed it directly in front of the third prince.
Xie Xi raised his eyebrows and gestured, "Third brother, pour the wine."
"I'm so happy today, how about I drink with you directly using bowls?"
