"He is unable to marry."
Gao Yang followed Xie Jing Xing's gaze and saw that in the flowering shrubs, Shen Miao's personal maid was instructing the little eunuch something and the little eunuch complied. Most likely it was his first time receiving so much money as he was overjoyed and respectfully said something to the maid before leaving.
After the little eunuch left, Jing Zhe stood at the same spot and there was a trace of suspicion on her face. Shen Miao specifically instructed her to hand the things over to this little eunuch but this little eunuch was obviously a newcomer to the Palace and did not have any interaction with Shen Miao, so why was there a special instruction?
Unable to think of the reason, Jing Zhe shook her head. In any case, the purpose had been achieved so she turned and left.
"This Young Lady of the Shen family is very courageous." Gao Yang evaluated, "To even dare to play tricks in the Palace and it seems that Shen Xin was not aware of it."
Xie Jing Xing declined to comment. For a person who dared to burn her own ancestral hall, he never thought that the other party would be timid. As for what to do at what place, most likely in Shen Miao's eyes, there was no difference.
"Let's go." A strange smile floated on his lips, "We should also go and watch the show."
"I will not go." Gao Yang blinked his eyes, "Now it is better to be careful when doing things. Moreover, there is a change in the plan so one must be more cautious."
"Up to you." Xie Jing Xing said lazily and suddenly thought of something and casually said, "If there is time, go to those old fellows at the Imperial Medical Institution to inquire if there is anything."
"Yes, sir." Gao Yang cupped his hands in obeisance, then walked toward the other side at a steady pace.
…
Time passed by unhurriedly and it was almost time for the returning banquet to begin.
The females sat at the bottom of the Great Hall while the males sat at the top of the Great Hall. The one on the leftmost side, near the center, was the prince. Prince Zhou, Prince Jing and Prince Ding had already arrived. Following behind were Prince Li, Prince Xiang and Prince Cheng.
Prince Zhou and Prince Jing were brothers so naturally they were in the same group. Prince Xiang and Prince Cheng were led by Prince Li and formed their own faction. As for His Highness the Crown Prince who had yet to arrive, he had the support of Prince Xuan and Prince Chu. As for the Ninth Prince, His Highness Prince Ding, Fu Xiu Yi, he did not belong to any faction and looked to be the weakest and most neutral faction.
With the appearance of the three kings, the clamor in the hall gradually quietened down.
Emperor Wen Hui was also strange, he had nine sons and each of them were extremely outstanding. If it was an ordinary family, they would have been overjoyed to have so many outstanding sons. But in a noble family, the more outstanding sons there were, the more intense the competition would be. What was even more unfortunate was that these nine outstanding sons were born into the most ruthless imperial family in the world. This also meant that their excellence would become a nail in each other's eyes, and both of them wanted to get rid of it.
Now that the nine sons had grown up, even though the crown prince had been crowned, the various factions had yet to restrain themselves. When Emperor Wen Hui was still around, he was still able to maintain the balance but there would be a day when this entrenched dragon would grow old and at that time, the Imperial family of Ming Qi that was already ready to move would be another reign of terror.
And in Prince Zhou's faction, Prince Li's faction and the Crown Prince's faction, the Crown Prince looked to have the highest strength on the surface, but the Crown Prince's body was weak and Emperor Wen Hui would not allow a weak son to sit on the Dragon Throne, so the Crown Prince's power was not so much that it was a follower of the orthodox lineage, but rather it was fake. If one's body was slightly unwell, it would only benefit Prince Xuan and Prince Chu. In Prince Li's faction, because of the large number of people, there were many officials who secretly pledged their allegiance to him. Even though Prince Zhou and Prince Jing's legitimacy was not as good as the Crown Prince's and their power was not as good as Prince Li's, but they had the Emperor's doted mother, Consort Xu Xian, and the Xu family had a strong support.
