The third prince and the fourth prince have already paid attention to the second prince for a long time.

What they are most unaccustomed to is the gentle smiling face of the second prince who is always decent, as if nothing will really shake his heart, nothing can stop him, and nothing can force him to frown.

The emperor's adult sons are only the three of them, and the remaining infant is not counted at all, and in terms of the age of the father, the selection of the crown prince is also to select one of the three of them, none of the three of them are descendants, but the mother family of the second prince is so strong, the first prince to be crowned king, not to mention, is the first to help his father in the political affairs of the dynasty, in terms of qualifications, in terms of the ability of the mother's family, he is obviously better than them.

They are also princes, they are also the blood of their father, why are they destined to be worse than others when they are just born?

Besides, the father is not yet in old age, so there is no need to hurriedly choose the successor now, right?

The second prince has also practiced martial arts for many years, although he is not a master, and he cannot be compared with Guan Junyan, but he has the vigilance of a martial artist, and now he is stared at by the third prince and the fourth prince, of course, he found out at the first time. It is precisely their eyes that pull back to reality the thoughts that he had been indulging in inattentively in the fantasy of having Qi Miao.

Now that there are wolves in front of him and tigers in the back, where can he be slack? If he relaxes a little, he is likely to fall from the high platform to pieces. At this time, who can still be in the mood to think about the relationship between children and daughters?

Not to mention......

If he could truly become the most honorable and powerful man in the country, would he be able to get whatever he wanted, including women?

Thinking of this, the second prince took a bite of the tea bowl and covered the thoughts in his eyes with a white porcelain tea cup. But he peeked in the direction of Bai Xiyun from an angle that was not easy for others to notice.

Who knew that at this moment, Bai Xiyun also happened to raise his eyes.

When the two looked at each other, Bai Xiyun smiled at him, and that smile was as warm as the sun breaking through the dark clouds, as gentle as the wind that could promote the blooming of spring flowers. The second prince didn't know why, he just felt that his eyes couldn't match Bai Xiyun's, and he couldn't face him as calmly as before.

The second prince opened his eyes uncomfortably. But for a moment he secretly annoyed his uselessness. What is he doing? Why is he dodging? He has been treating Bai Xiyun as a brother for so many years, pituring his body and his life experience, as if the brotherhood of this life has been used in this person. He didn't dare to say how much he was kind to him, but he did do a lot for him, he should have a clear conscience, why did he dodge this time? Even if he fell in love with Bai Xiyun's wife, but in the end he didn't do anything beyond the rules, Bai Xiyun continued to live like a fairy couple with Qi Miao, didn't he?

Why hide?

Why run away?

Could it really be because in his heart, he is already sketching out that when he becomes the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he will be able to have the woman he wants?

The second prince smiled gently as usual, and looked at Bai Xiyun calmly.

In fact, the change of the second prince is not obvious.

His movements were fast, and in the softly lit tent, in the noisy environment where the emperor was present and leading everyone to chat, normal people would not be able to notice the fleeting look in his eyes.

But Bai Xiyun saw it.

He didn't react, as if he hadn't seen it, and lowered his eyebrows as he finished the last bite of soup. Then he thought with satisfaction and pride, so many people can't eat this kind of chicken soup if they want to, but the woman who can cook such delicious chicken soup is his own.

As long as he thought of Qi Miao now, his heart was full of softness, as if he could ignore the trembling eyes of the second prince when he looked at him.

The emperor was in a very good mood today, and after dinner, he left everyone to chat for a long time before letting them go. There were people in the camp who were partying, and there were also people who gathered in twos and threes to watch the small campfires and gossip. Bai Xiyun used dinner and medicine to eat, and saw that there were three princes flattering the emperor, and he didn't need to accompany him for a while, so he found a small chamberlain to guide the way and walked to his camp.

Who knew that after only a few steps, the voice of the second prince came from behind: "Zijin." ”

Bai Xiyun stopped when he heard this, and smiled when he turned around: "His Royal Highness King De." ”

"Are you going back to rest?" the second prince asked with a smile as he stepped forward.

Bai Xiyun was so familiar with the second prince, so he naturally understood his intentions at this time, so he smiled and said, "It's not that I'm in a hurry to go back, it's just that the scene is too lively." You know I'm used to it. ”

When he spoke to him, although the monarch and the minister were very respectful, there was also no lack of closeness to grow up together. The second prince liked his attitude very much, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Why don't we take a walk around here." It's not too noisy, how?"

Bai Xiyun smiled gently, "It's very much to my liking." ”

The second prince saw that he was smiling at him as before, and his heart was also very refreshing, and for a while the brotherly love was full of his body, as if the mind that had just been condensed no longer existed.

The second prince actually cherishes the relationship with Bai Xiyun very much. After all, he was born in the royal family, and he has seen a lot of palaces, and he has long been unable to expect that there will be any true feelings between his siblings, but after all, he is still flesh and blood, and he is looking forward to having the feelings of ordinary people. It's because he always has some differences when facing Bai Xiyun. What's more, the second prince also knows that even if there is a gap between himself and Bai Xiyun, I am afraid it is because he has thoughts about Bai Xiyun's wife that he shouldn't have.

As the saying goes, a friend's wife can't be played. Although he didn't move his hands and feet against Qi Miao, he always had lingering emotions in his heart. In the end, it's not quite right.

And Bai Xiyun's mind is full of praise even for the emperor. Since he is the prince and young master, and he is close to him, it may be beneficial to ask more.

The second prince was full of plans, but he didn't show any on his face, so he only led Bai Xiyun towards the open space at the back of the camp.

Bai Xiyun followed slowly and didn't ask much, but looked at the second prince's expression without a trace.

Guan Junyan had been following behind Bai Xiyun, walking far away, carefully observing the movements around him. The guards of the second prince also followed aside, keeping a certain distance, leaving a quiet space for the second prince and Bai Xiyun to speak with peace of mind.

When they arrived at a quiet place, the second prince said, "What do you think of what my father said at today's banquet?"

Bai Xiyun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is Your Highness talking about the selection of concubines?"
