During this period of time, he was extremely busy. He secretly courted important officials in the court, and there were many officials who submitted memorials to ask him to be crown prince.
However, the popularity is far less than that of the third prince, and it is also somewhat inferior to that of the fourth prince.
He did not get involved in the fierce struggle between the third prince and the fourth prince, so as to leave a way out for himself. He neither wanted to become a mortal enemy with the fourth prince, nor wanted to compete with the third prince. His road to fighting for the throne,
It can be considered bright and magnanimous.
However, even though he tried his best, that was all he could do.
He was also aware of the trends in the court. He could even predict that within a few days, Emperor Jianwen would issue an order to establish a heir apparent.
It seems that his unwillingness and ambition are an illusion after all.
Will he still hold on to the end?
Is there any point in continuing to hold on?
Yin Xiaoxiao's voice rang in his ears again: "Why don't you take the initiative to go to the Third Prince's Mansion! After all, they are brothers. If you go there shamelessly, the Third Prince brother can't open his mouth to chase people away."
Taking the initiative to go forward means taking the initiative to bow your head, and it also means being willing to surrender.
The fifth prince pursed his lips tightly, and an extremely complicated light flashed in his eyes. After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "I won't go."
"you……"
Yin Xiaoxiao was anxious and angry: "Why are you so stubborn and stubborn? If you don't bow your head now, how will you handle yourself when the third prince becomes the crown prince? In the future, he will still be the emperor of Qi." Arm twist
But the thighs, the face, it’s okay not to have them..."
"Xiaoxiao," the fifth prince quickly interrupted Yin Xiaoxiao: "You can call me stubborn or you can call me stubborn. In short, I will never admit defeat until the last moment."
Yin Xiaoxiao glared at the fifth prince.
The fifth prince's handsome face was extremely tense.
From the day they got married, he had given in to her in everything. If he really took action, he might not lose much to her. However, he was never willing to use his full strength and always gave in to her.
She has always been aware of these things. She has always been aware of his kindness to her.
After staring for a moment, Yin Xiaoxiao suddenly sighed: "That's all, whatever you want is up to you, I won't talk any more to persuade you."
The fifth prince's expression suddenly became much more relaxed, and he smiled shyly: "Are you really not angry with me?"
Yin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him funny and angrily: "What can you do if you are angry? Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. You can do whatever you want, I will just accompany you."
It's a pity that she and Xiao Yuhan have known each other for many years, but these days they are much more distant.
The fifth prince grinned and hugged Yin Xiaoxiao's body.
Others laughed behind his back that he married a tigress and that he was henpecked. Only he knew that the seemingly fierce Yin Xiaoxiao was actually the most considerate and the best wife in the world.
…
The fifth prince refused to take the initiative to go, but the second prince didn't hold on to the end and took the initiative to go to the third prince's mansion.
When the chamberlain came to announce the news, the third prince's eyes flashed with self-satisfaction, and with a gentle smile on his face, he stood up and went out to greet him. Sheng Hong also stood up to greet him.
"... When the banquet was held, I was afraid that the emperor brother would have no time to come, so I didn't post anything." The third prince smiled at the second prince and said, "I didn't expect that the emperor brother would have time to come. I am really happy."
Of course I'm happy.
Another one who completely gave in and admitted defeat!
Sheng Hong complained silently in his heart, and then smiled affectionately at the second prince and said: "Brother Second Emperor came just in time. Brother Third Emperor has some old wine here. Let's have a few drinks today."
The second prince, who didn't like to talk, smiled and nodded: "That's fine!"
The third prince smiled again and said: "Not only will there be fine wine and delicacies, but there will also be beauties singing and dancing to add to the fun. If the second prince likes you, just take him back to the palace."
The second prince, who was not very articulate, immediately said: "No need."
The third prince smiled teasingly and said: "The second emperor's sister-in-law has already entered the inner room, so the second emperor brother does not need to feel guilty."
The three brothers were talking and laughing, and they were cordial and harmonious.
Xiao Yuhan and Xie Mingxi also came out and chatted with Zhao Changqing, which was quite lively.
On the other hand, Princess Changping, as the most noble eldest princess in Da Qi, had an aloof status. She did not take the initiative to greet Zhao Changqing. She only stood up to greet Zhao Changqing with a smile when he stepped into the inner hall.
Zhao Changqing was also used to Princess Changping's style, so he called her "Emperor Sister" with a smile.
Princess Changping and the third prince have always been close. Now that the third prince will be crown prince, Princess Changping is also quite happy. The smile on her face is a bit brighter than before. She exchanged a few words with Zhao Changqing and then sat down to continue chatting.
No one would ask rudely why Zhao Changqing came here on his own initiative.
Bow your head, just bow your head. Who wouldn't bow his head in front of the imperial power? It's not a shameful thing.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
The fourth prince and the third prince had already been at loggerheads, and there was no way they would take the initiative to come. The fifth prince, on the other hand, had not come, which made Xie Mingxi look at him with admiration.
Xiao Yuhan was also thinking about his friend Yin Xiaoxiao, and said casually: "The fifth brother and sister are already pregnant for more than five months!"
Xie Mingxi smiled and hummed: "Wuhuang's sister-in-law is getting heavier and heavier, and it is not suitable for running around. Otherwise, she is so close and misses her, so just send someone a message."
In fact, Yin Xiaoxiao has been practicing martial arts all year round and is in excellent health. Even though she is pregnant, her belly is not big and she moves very nimble.
However, the fifth prince and the third prince are currently on bad terms, and it is inconvenient for Yin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yuhan to interact more. No matter how much Xiao Yuhan misses his friend, he has no choice but to endure it.
Xie Mingxi's words also smoothed things over for Xiao Yuhan.
…
The banquet didn't end until midnight.
Sheng Hong drank a lot of wine today, his eyes were shining and his handsome face was red.
Xie Mingxi took another look subconsciously.
Sheng Hong grinned, leaned closer and whispered: "What's wrong? Are you attracted by my beauty? Just bear with it for a while, and then do whatever you want to me after you return to the inner room."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
She really misses the blushing young boy she used to be!
The shameless Sheng Hong in front of her always gave her the urge to beat him up!
Probably because the meaning of "beating him up" in Xie Mingxi's eyes was too obvious, Sheng Hong finally became more honest and stopped teasing her verbally, instead he came closer... and touched her with his hands and feet.
Then, he threw another heavy blow: "From tonight on, you will sleep alone in the study."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong's eyes were full of sorrow, his voice was trembling, and he was full of helplessness: "How could you do this to me? We have only been married for more than two months, and you actually feel disgusted with me!"
What a natural born actor!
Xie Mingxi was so amused that she rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, stop messing around." After a pause, he said softly: "After we consummate our marriage, I will never come to Kuishui again."
