As Xiao Jining asked, he handed another plum sour candy to Jing Yuan.

When there is no one else around, Xiao Jining has always called Jing Yuan "Brother Jing Yuan", firstly to show closeness, and secondly to show goodwill, and this name lasted for four years.

In the past four years, Jing Yuan seems to be very fond of this title. He usually takes good care of Xiao Jining, and has fulfilled his duties as a companion reader. Many of Xiao Jining's articles that have been truly praised by Li Shidu have been written by Jing Yuan. Pointing out, this also made Xiao Ji Ning secretly admire, Jing Yuan is worthy of being a hero, he was born to be an emperor.

But Jingyuan didn't put it into his mouth immediately after taking the plum sour candy. He squeezed it lightly with his fingertips, lowered his eyes and said: "Not only today, the prince will not come to the martial arts training ground for a month. The eldest daughter is the Crown Princess, and I heard that the Crown Prince will welcome the Crown Princess into the East Palace on the seventh day of the next month, so I must be busy with this matter recently."

Xiao Jining was a little surprised, because he didn't know the news yet, and Chun Ji never mentioned it: "The seventh day of next month, has the date been set yet?"

Jing Yuan said: "Yes."

Xiao Jining understood clearly after hearing the words: "So that's how it is."

At the end of today's martial arts class, Master Wu told them that the prince is busy with his marriage recently and will not come to the martial arts training ground to practice martial arts within a month. All the princes present except the six and eight princes were all surprised when they heard the news. The faces of the rest of the princes did not show the slightest abnormality, it seemed that they had known the news for a long time.

Looking at the expressions of the people around him is a habit that Xiao Jining had before, and now that he is in this world, this habit is even more indispensable if he wants to survive.

Xiao Jining was also very surprised when he heard the news of Master Wu, even though he had heard Jing Yuan said it a long time ago, but he quickly lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, the surprise on his face was replaced by joy.

There is no need to hide the fact that the Crown Princess is about to enter the East Palace. Once the news is confirmed, all the palaces will know within half a day. But before the news is released, this is a matter of the East Palace. Logically speaking, there should be no one other than the East Palace and the emperor. People know it.

But when Master Wu told the news to the princes just now, many princes looked indifferent, and there was not much surprise - obviously they already knew the news, including Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan was well informed, even the matter of the East Palace could not escape his attention, it was not surprising that Xiao Jining knew about it earlier, but he was surprised why the Seventh Prince also knew about it earlier.

The birth mother of the sixth prince is of low status, and the sixth prince himself has no talent or virtue, and has no followers in the court. However, Concubine Li is the princess of Daliao, and the throne can never be passed on to a prince with foreign blood. Concubine Li has no other intentions, so the eighth prince has been deliberately raised by Concubine Li to be playful and kind. They have the demeanor of the second sixth prince, so it is normal for these two people to look surprised.

But what about the Seventh Prince?

Xiao Jining raised his eyes, and carefully looked at the side face of the Seventh Prince from the corner of his eye - the Seventh Prince was the first person he met in this world, during the four years with him, Xiao Jining thought that he had almost figured out the Seventh Prince's identity. character.

The Seventh Prince is smart and upright, loyal and righteous, and he is still the prince's little brother. The beloved concubine has a weak and slender temperament. In layman's terms, she is the white lotus, the kind who can't help but cry when she sees the rabbit on the dinner plate. Chunji imitated her to win Emperor Xiao's favor.

Concubine Zhen's temperament does not seem like a concubine who has the guts to covet the throne, so what about the Seventh Prince?The Seventh Prince is no longer that little prince. Maybe he has grown up and has his own ideas?

So Xiao Jining began to seek help: "Little Dan, can I see the character attributes of my Seventh Brother?"

Xiaodan imitated Jingyuan's tone, lowered her voice and said artificially: "Your Highness, let's talk about it after you ascend the throne, be good."

Xiao Jining: "..."

"Don't imitate his speech, it's scary." Xiao Jining touched his earlobe, "Is that person's ambition value fixed?"

Xiao Dan said: "Of course not. When you give treasures to your ministers, you may increase your ambition or decrease your ambition. If you agree to his request, you may increase your ambition or decrease your ambition. If you refuse his request, your ambition may increase or decrease your ambition. In the same way, the same is true for the loyalty value, in a word, the value is not fixed, and the result depends on fate."

???

Is this game still playable?

Xiao Jining frowned upon hearing this, and watched the Seventh Prince secretly sizing up on the way back to Yusheng Residence.

The princes also have their own faction. Age, family background, and personality are the main factors that affect the camp. For example, the second prince will never join the "leaving school together" group of the seventh prince.

There are six members in this group, namely the seventh, eighth, and ninth princes and their companions.

It was a quarter of an hour's journey from the training ground to the intersection where the three princes parted ways to return to the palace. They would talk on this road every day, and today was no exception, but the protagonist they were talking about today was the prince.

"The elder brother is about to get married." The eighth prince said with emotion, "At the family banquet last year, the father said that he wanted to marry the elder brother, but the elder brother refused, as if he would wait until he was crowned. As if thinking about getting married, I didn't expect that the emperor's sister-in-law will enter the East Palace after only one year has passed. I think the eldest emperor's wife must be very beautiful, and the eldest brother's love is fascinated. Otherwise, why would the eldest brother not even want a side concubine? Woolen cloth?"

Xiao Kingdom is a country that has never existed in history. Its system is quite different from that of other dynasties. The princes of Xiao Kingdom usually start to get married around the age of 17. They marry a main concubine, a side concubine, good Di two.

Of course, the rules are dead, and people are alive. Whether or not the prince marries, and how much, depends on the prince's wishes and the emperor's attitude, but the prince is different. This status means that the prince must appoint a new prince princess.

At last year's palace banquet, Emperor Xiao said that he wanted to make a concubine for the prince, but the prince declined, which made Emperor Xiao displeased and refused to change his words. But this year he suddenly let go and was willing to make a concubine. Although he refused to make a concubine, but Having a princess is enough for now.

It's just that the status of this princess is a bit special - the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Xie.

Xiao Jining was hiding something in his heart, so he didn't listen carefully to what the eighth prince said, and was still a little dazed when he was called by the eighth prince.

"Ninth Brother, what do you think?" The Eighth Prince asked him.

Xiao Jining stared blankly at the Eighth Prince, and asked inexplicably, "What do I think?"

"Wow! You didn't listen to me at all." The eighth prince pouted, "I'm asking which one do you think looks better, the elder sister-in-law or the elder brother?"

"What nonsense." Before Xiao Jining could say anything, the Seventh Prince began to teach his younger brother a lesson, "Brother Emperor is a man, how can you compare his beauty with women?"

The eighth prince was not too convinced: "It's not a bad thing for a man to be beautiful, besides, the elder brother is indeed very good-looking."

The crown prince was born by Concubine Chen, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital back then, so the Seventh Prince couldn't help but agree: "Brother Eldest Emperor is indeed handsome and handsome, and he is like a god, but eighth you can only Praise him for being mighty and extraordinary, remember?"

The eighth prince said listlessly: "Remember."

But as soon as the Eighth Prince agreed, he slipped back and asked his companion Shao Chong: "Achong, Achong, have you seen the eldest emperor's wife? She and elder brother..."

Xiao Chao has a relaxed atmosphere, women can enter the court as officials, and they can also be female generals. Shao Chong has seen the princess a few times at some banquets, but he can't do things like rashly commenting on the princess, so he shut up No words.

The Eighth Prince didn't get the answer he wanted, and went back dejectedly.

Jing Yuan continued to accompany Xiao Jining to Yushengju, intending to send him to the gate of Fuyun Palace before leaving.Xiao Jining didn't see anything from the Seventh Prince's face just now, so he wanted to observe it later, and now that he was with Jing Yuan, he wanted to find something to chat with as usual, and improve his relationship with Jing Yuan, but he originally Even with an easy-going temperament, he couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he kept silent.

In the end, it was Jing Yuan who spoke first: "His Highness seems to have something on his mind?"

It was impossible for Xiao Jining to tell all the things in his heart, so he lied casually: "I, I was thinking about the marriage of the eldest brother."

"Is it because of the Crown Princess' family background?" Jing Yuan asked again. After saying this, Jing Yuan said casually, "The Crown Princess is appointed by the emperor. After the Crown Princess enters the East Palace, the Emperor should be at ease."

Xiao Jining didn't think much about it, and subconsciously agreed with him: "Yes, the eldest brother married the eldest emperor's wife, now the second emperor should give up, right?"

The second prince would pretend to be obedient in front of the emperor, and in front of these princes, his covetousness for the throne was clearly revealed, which happened to be convenient for Xiao Jining to throw the pot at him.

Jing Yuan pulled the corner of his lower lip lightly when he heard the words, and opened his lips and said lightly: "This is not necessarily the case. The Xie family is a scholarly family. Although the prince has Xie Xiang for help, there are no famous generals under his command. Concubine Gao has Gao's family in front of her, and the queen mother is behind her." , the second prince only needs to marry the daughter of a famous general, and the Gao family will help him..."

Jingyuan turned seventeen this year, and the voice change period has ended. The male duck voice that was once hoarse and unpleasant has now become deep and steady. He speaks fast and unhurriedly. Analyzing these important court affairs for Xiao Jining is like planning for Xiao Jining How to win the throne is average.It's just that he used this tone when he explained homework to Xiao Jining in the past, so Xiao Jining developed the habit of listening attentively as long as he spoke like this, and now he is also looking up at Jingyuan with his head up, almost without taking a pen I listened and wrote at the same time.

So Jing Yuan paused after speaking for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Highness, are you listening to my lecture?"

"No." Xiao Jining tilted his head, pretending to be innocent, "Ningning is listening to Brother Jingyuan."

It has to be said that Xiao Jining's childish face is still very deceiving, coupled with his innocent and harmless appearance, Jing Yuan looked down at him for a while, then slightly bowed his head and said, "Fuyun Palace is In the front, if His Highness has no problem, Jing Yuan will retreat."

"Wait—" Xiao Jining ran up to Jing Yuan, stopped him and said, "Brother Jing Yuan, Ning Ning still has a question."

Jing Yuan said: "Please, Your Highness."

"At the annual banquet last year, my father said that a man should start a family when he is seventeen." Xiao Ji Ning looked into Jing Yuan's eyes, "Brother Jing Yuan is already seventeen, right? Then when do you plan to start a family?"
