Ning Dai didn't know who the "Ninth Highness" the old steward mentioned was, but looking at the eager look on the old steward's face, she intuitively told her that this "Ninth Highness" should be an important person.

She turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhuo again, and found that he was different from the old steward.

Apart from his calm expression, he didn't seem that concerned or worried.

Ning Dai thought about whether she should be curious, and then sat back down.

The old steward replied: "It is said that His Highness Ninth Prince made an appointment with a few children from aristocratic families to go out to the city today, but for some reason, His Highness Ninth Prince's horse started to frighten as soon as he left the city. The people following him did not react, and His Highness Ninth Prince fell.

horse."

"The place where he fell was not coincidental. He happened to hit a rock. The person was carried back. When the news came, the person was still awake."

After explaining what happened, the old steward revealed the main reason why he hurriedly came to report: "Ms. Chen in the palace has also received the news, and now she is very worried."

Yuan Zhuo was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand."

The old steward looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to say something. He was not simply saying that he knew, but he was looking forward to telling him whether something needed to be done.

But Yuan Zhuo didn't follow the old steward's wishes and gave no instructions. He only asked the old steward to go about his business.

The old steward had no choice but to retreat angrily.

When the old steward walked away, Yuan Zhuo looked at Ning Dai, who had been sizing him up, and smiled slightly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ning Dai blinked: "His Ninth Prince is...?"

"Ninth Prince, Yuan Jia." Yuan Zhuo paused and added: "His biological mother, Concubine Chen, is my aunt."

"Oh." I finally figured out what the relationship was.

Ning Dai couldn't help but ask one more question: "Then your cousin fell off a horse and hit his head. Why don't you care about it? Maybe..."

Anyway, a real horse fall is much more dangerous than what was shown on TV, not to mention that it still hit her head. Ning Dai was tutting in her heart and trying not to be clumsy.

Yuan Zhuo sighed, and then looked at Ning Dai intently.

Ning Dai was looked at by him strangely and couldn't help but choked: "I didn't spell it out, why are you staring at me to show that you have big eyes?"

Yuan Zhuo shook his head slowly: "You are really..."

"what?"

"You're not even curious about me at all." He added the second half of the sentence.

Ning Dai glanced at him without speaking.

He was right, she had no desire to find out about him.

Except for a few questions she asked him face to face about whether he was a member of the dragon set, but after she could not get his answer, she never asked him any more personal questions.

And these were all done deliberately by Ning Dai.

She didn't want to understand, she didn't think it was necessary, and she was also knotted up in her heart because he stole her phone and refused to return it.

On the surface, we can get along with each other in a normal way, but there is still a gap in our hearts.

Yuan Zhuo also knew it and could guess it.

He did not force Ningdai to speak, but corrected the mistake she just made on his own.

"Yuanjia is my imperial brother, not my cousin."

"Ah..." Ning Dai was stunned for a moment.

Originally, hearing the title of the old steward, she had guessed that Yuan Zhuo and His Highness Jiu might have an uncle-nephew relationship, but it wasn't until he said that the other person's mother was his aunt that she lowered him to a higher rank.

She thought that Yuan Zhuo's father might be the brother of the current emperor, but she was told that they had the same father!

His younger brother is still a prince, so why does he already have a title? Oh, it has been changed.

Ning Dai was really curious about him now and felt that he must be a person with stories.

Ever since she came to this world, leaving had always occupied her mind. Later, when she joined the Dragon Team, leaving became returning.

She was confident that she would definitely go back, and since she didn't want to catch a cold and wanted to live in a world where she couldn't play anything, she didn't even bother to learn more about this world.

The only thing that is clearly understood is the Yongle Marquis Mansion.

As for the royal family, knowing the surname Wang is everything.

In addition, she has little interest in the royal family, and the maids around her are unlikely to understand it, let alone communicate too much with a silly person like her.

Unexpectedly, she had never been interested and felt that it was unnecessary to understand. At this moment, she was a little annoyed.

I feel really ignorant.

Yuan Zhuo felt that there was nothing wrong with her not knowing anything, at least he had a chance for her to understand him.

He didn't show off, and talked about himself calmly.

"There are now fifteen princes in the palace, and except for me, none of them have been granted titles."

From the beginning, Ning Dai already had a question to interject: "Why are you so special?"

Yuan Zhuo smiled: "Maybe it's because my mother-in-law had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with me. It's probably because my mother-in-law had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me. She passed away after giving birth to me. Or maybe it's because I was diagnosed with frail health after I was born.

, he may die at any time and cannot grow up safely.”

"..." Suddenly she didn't know how to respond, but it seemed like she should say something, so Ning Dai could only say dryly: "Then you are quite miserable."

Yuan Zhuo smiled slightly, but he didn't have any special emotions.

After answering the question dryly, Ning Dai quickly thought of something good to say and said, "Well, you've survived now, too. Look at you, you're quite tall, right?"

As if to refute her words, Yuan Zhuo said: "Whether it's the imperial doctor or the chief supervisor who has approved my life, they all say that I won't live past my prime."

"Nonsense." Ning Dai sneered: "After all, you have received a lot of advanced civilization and higher education in private, but you still believe in orders? You are still weak, what about you now?"

"That's this year."

Ning Dai: "..."

There are still three months until this year is over...

Ning Dai pursed her lower lip and abruptly changed the topic: "You should continue to talk about why you were the only one who was crowned king. Also, I remember correctly, you were banned with one word before, why is it two words now? What are you doing?

Did something happen to make your father unhappy?"

She said whatever she said, and Yuan Zhuo changed the subject very obediently.

To talk about why he was the only one among the princes to be crowned king, Yuan Zhuo had to tell her something first.

That is, this dynasty has not yet decided on a crown prince.

After all, everyone is a person with rich experience, and Ning Dai figured out a lot with just one sentence.

"The crown prince has not yet been decided, but everyone has a possibility."

Yuan Zhuo smiled and nodded, saying, "But not me."

The implication is that he was the one who was ruled out early on.

He was granted the title of king early, and with the title, he told the world that he would stay in this position for the rest of his life.

But it’s also easy to understand. A person who has been told that he won’t survive a weak crown certainly doesn’t need to wade through troubled waters.

It felt like his emperor father treated him quite well.

But after thinking about it like this, Ning Dai felt that something was wrong.
