For as long as I can remember, the eldest brother and the third emperor brother have always compared each other.

Whether it's writing, painting, reciting poems, or riding horses and archery.

All the princes were divided into two factions, one faction followed the eldest brother and the other faction followed the third emperor brother.

Overheard, I heard two old ladies in the palace talking.

"Don't look at the eldest prince as the biggest, the crown prince is always the first and then the longest, the third prince is the queen, the only concubine, in the future, the eldest prince will bow down to the third prince."

I took it to heart.

But I don't have a choice.

The Third Emperor Brother disdains to form gangs, and his status as a prince is already honorable to us.

However, the eldest brother was enthusiastic about me, and he had to pull me along for everything, and over time, the attitude of the third emperor brother towards me became colder and colder.

As I grew older, the Third Emperor Brother showed his head and feet, and became more and more valued by my father, and my desire to get rid of the eldest Emperor Brother became stronger and stronger.

Until one day, I met a girl in the palace with a high ponytail, who was picking oranges from the orange tree in the Imperial Garden.

I was too busy trying to stop it, but the eldest brother stopped me.

"She is the daughter of Jiang Changgong, let's stay away from her."

"But the orange is not ripe......"

"Do you care if it's cooked or not?" The eldest brother said, "The seventh brother pulled her braids last time, and he was punished for copying ten poems!" ”

I was taken aback.

How can such a thing be? The seventh brother is a prince, she is just the daughter of a slave.

The eldest brother lowered his voice and secretly said in my ear: "Concubine Chen's mother values Jiangchang Gong too much, and her father listens to Concubine Chen, Jiangchang Gong also treats this daughter as a baby pimple, and whoever bullies her will sue the emperor...... Anyway, let's stay away from her. ”

I still have questions: "No matter how much Jiang Changgong is valued by Concubine Chen, he is just a slave." ”

The eldest brother whispered even more: "Your child doesn't understand, my mother said that the hue betrayed by Jiangchang Gong has today's status, and Concubine Chen likes Jiangchang Gong...... Don't say that. ”

I nodded.

The father and the emperor are obsessed with Concubine Chen, and everyone knows that it is almost to the point of obeying his words. If it weren't for Concubine Chen's childlessness, the position of prince would really not be on the hands of others.

It is precisely because Concubine Chen has no children that she has a lot of love for Jiang Qingyue.

A thought crossed my mind.

If I get closer to Jiang Qingyue, the eldest brother won't deal with me anymore, right?

Before the third emperor brother is made the crown prince, I must draw a line with the eldest emperor.

-

The opportunity was fleeting.

It was on the street, Jiang Qingyue suddenly called out to me and told me to buy a few more baked cakes.

I'm obviously ranked ninth, but she calls me the Eighth Prince?

But why are the pancakes so delicious......

-

I suddenly found that as long as I was silent and honest, the eldest brother would naturally stop playing with me.

It's that simple?

When the Third Emperor Brother met me, he asked me, "What happened to you and the Great Emperor Brother?" ”

I said, "Like-minded." ”

The Third Emperor Brother's attitude towards me immediately softened: "Ninth Brother, you are an interesting person. ”

It doesn't matter if it's interesting or not, I just want him to be the prince and the emperor in the future, and he can give me good fruits to eat.

-

The Third Emperor Brother allowed me to join his side and become a brother by his side.

The eldest brother was angry at my betrayal, and one day stopped me in public in the Imperial Garden.

"You're such a wallgrass!"

Not only did he say this, but he also cut my sleeve with a dagger, and said viciously: "We cut off my robe!" ”

Jiang Qingyue witnessed all this, stood in front of the eldest imperial brother, raised her face and said to him, "What you did is not right. ”

Her height was only up to the chest of the eldest imperial brother, who looked at her condescendingly.

"What's wrong?"

"Others cut their robes and cut their own sleeves," Jiang Qingyue pointed to his arm seriously, "You should cut your own, not his." ”

The eldest brother pursed the corners of his lips: "You are still young and don't understand the things between us." ”

Jiang Qingyue tilted her head, and her voice was like a silver bell: "But Concubine Chen's birthday banquet is about to start, how can he pass when his clothes are torn?" ”

The eldest brother said again: "The eldest husband is informal! ”

"Failure to honor in front of the emperor is punishable."

Jiang Qingyue paused, and said helplessly: "Don't blame the eldest prince, when the time comes, I can only tell the truth and say that you bullied him." ”

The eldest brother panicked.

He tugged at me: "You go and change your clothes." ”

Jiang Qingyue shook her head: "Others are not trotting fast, and it will be too late for him to go back and forth." ”

The eldest brother asked with a very bad face: "What should I do then?" ”

Jiang Qingyue blinked, "You can go and get him clothes, and change them nearby." You're big, run fast. ”

The eldest brother didn't hesitate much, gritted his teeth and ran like a gust of wind.

I thought Jiang Qingyue was going to the banquet, but she stayed where she was with me.

"I'll wait for you to change your clothes before leaving."

I nodded, staring at her intently.

Suddenly found that Jiang Qingyue was very good-looking, especially her eyes, her eyes were big round and watery, and her eyelashes were thick and long, like small fans.

Seeing me in a daze, she pinched my face with her little hand: "How can there be a prince who is so easy to bully like you?" How old are you? ”

"Twelve."

She was stunned: "As big as me." Why are you a head taller than me? ”

Then she pouted, and she was not very happy.

I was in a hurry and said, "Although you are short, you are beautiful!" ”

Jiang Qingyue said unconvinced: "You are tall and good-looking!" ”

She asked again, "How many princes are you?" ”

I told her about it when I was eating pancakes on the street.

But I said it again: "I'm ninth." ”

When my eldest brother panted and brought his clothes, I went into the cave on the side to change my clothes, and heard Jiang Qingyue reasoning with the eldest brother outside.

"You're six years older than him, how can you bully a child if you don't want to be an older brother? You are brothers, you break bones and tendons, don't bully him in the future, you know? ”

The eldest brother said: "You are still young, you don't understand the affairs between our brothers, it is he who betrayed me, and he didn't play with me to play with the third brother......"

"He can play with whomever he wants, so why does he have to play with you? He can like you or he may not like you! Jiang Qingyue said solemnly.

I was stunned.

I have never known only the pros and cons, obedience.

But no one told me that I could like someone or hate someone.

-

We followed the three emperor brothers in the attic of Xunfang Pavilion, watching the ladies of the family downstairs.

They discussed which girl was the best-looking, and which girl had shown favor to them.

They asked the Third Emperor Brother, and the Third Emperor Brother looked at the woman who was throwing the pot in the center of the crowd, and said, "It must be Jiang Qingyue who is the best-looking!" Needless to say! ”

I was suddenly irritable.

It is said that the father has already planned to appoint the third emperor brother as the crown prince.

The person the prince likes will definitely be able to get it.

Why is he a prince? Why can't I be a prince?

I was taken aback by my sudden thought and quickly suppressed the damn thought.

I must not be stupid, just a woman, or life is the most important.

The Third Emperor Brother suddenly turned his head and asked me, "Ninth Brother, what do you think?" Which is the best-looking. ”

I panicked and said casually, "Meng Zhen." ”
