The plot of Quick Wear is always wrong

"...Brother, why aren't you surprised at all? I was almost scared when I saw him at the banquet yesterday... cough..."

Qi Cheng sat crookedly on the couch, holding a pastry in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. Maybe it was because he sat in the wrong posture, or maybe he ate too fast, he choked himself. Qi Xiu handed the medicine bowl to Chang Qing and was quite amused to see him like this.

"No one is competing with you..."

“Yes…”

Qi Cheng coughed twice, and then continued speaking after he recovered.

"He's competing with me for my brother!"

Qi Cheng stared, and when he saw that Qi Xiu was still as calm as ever, he became serious.

"He asked me about you yesterday."

Qi Cheng didn't really want to mention him, not just because he called his elder brother "brother". Qin Huai was still a royal family after all, and his father was an official in the court, so he should avoid him. But he couldn't hide anything from Qi Xiu, and wanted to tell him everything he knew outside.

"Anyway, there are only two of us brothers here, so I won't be shy. His Royal Highness the Third Prince is very popular now, and it seems that he is quite favored by the Emperor."

Whenever the rich and powerful got together, the Third Prince would always disparage Qin Huai in his words. One didn't need to see it with one's own eyes to know that the two of them did not get along well.

Qin Huai only appeared in front of everyone a year ago and was allowed to serve in the court. His father had vaguely mentioned his specific situation. He had unique insights and seemed to be hiding his shortcomings, but his name was known since the day he was included in the emperor's genealogy.

At that time, everyone in the capital said that the Seventh Prince was on the imperial tree and was indeed a prince, but he should also hate the royal family.

After all, the blood of the Fang family is flowing, and the trouble should be eliminated forever.

The affairs of the royal family have never dared to become the topic of conversation among common people so blatantly, but no one stopped it, and it became more and more lively.

This has no impact on the common people. The only ones it can affect are the Seventh Prince himself and the person above.

Yesterday, a grand banquet was held at the Dingyuan Marquis's residence, which was extremely luxurious. It was the Zhao family and the third prince's glorious moment, and they were being complimented by all kinds of people. But because of his arrival, he knelt there and listened to the blessings for half an hour.

"I'm afraid he won't be able to live in peace for the next period of time."

Qi Cheng smacked his lips and then sat up straight.

"Yesterday he left early before the banquet was over. After he left, everyone couldn't help but talk about him. They all said that the emperor treated him very differently, as if he was an exception in everything. Even in the court, he was looked up to compared to the other princes."

To put it clearly, as long as the emperor does not speak, the Third Prince will never be able to reach the position of the Crown Prince. The Emperor thinks highly of the Seventh Prince and treats him very differently. In the eyes of the Third Prince, Qin Huai has become an obstacle to him.

As such, it was natural that I would never like him no matter how hard I looked at him.

Qi Xiu frowned, thinking that Qin Huai was a bit like a target, being stood between arrows...
