The back garden is lit up, although there is still a bit of spring cold at night, but there are already flowers blooming in the imperial garden, surrounded by satin, but it resists the cold.

Although it is said to be a family banquet, how can it be like a family banquet in ordinary people's homes? The emperor is high, and everyone's face is full of smiles, but what do you think in your heart?

Perhaps only the emperor's smile was a little genuine.

Tang Ning looked at the harmonious scene in front of him, but he didn't feel the slightest taste of family affection in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly in his heart.

It is said that the emperor is a lonely man, but now it seems that it is really not bad at all.

In fact, Tang Ning is not qualified to talk about others, he is also very tired of the second prince in his heart, but isn't his face also full of smiles?

Just as Tang Ning thought in his heart, this dinner party really didn't taste good, it was not good to eat or drink, it was all lies in the ears, and fake smiles in the eyes.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the feast is dispersed, the concubines return to the palace, the emperor moves to the Qianqing Palace, and Tang Ning and they leave the palace together.

At night, the palace hides its solemn glory, and although there are palace maids and guards shuttling, it still seems a little lonely.

The group walked out in the moonlight, and the eldest prince sighed: "Think about the third child when he just entered Beijing, it was like yesterday!" The first time our brothers met was in the garden of my aunt's house, when the third child was already a well-known talent. ”

Tang Ning said with a smile: "At that time, I was honestly afraid, I had just become a conductor, and the excitement in my heart had not yet passed, so I provoked the son of the Ministry of Rites and the eldest prince, and at that time I was ready to wander the world!" ”

The eldest princess was curious: "Could it be that you really didn't know anything about it since you were a child?" ”

These words attracted the attention of the eldest prince and the second prince.

Tang Ning nodded with a smile and said, "I really don't know at all, I grew up in a small town, and I am no different from other children." ”

"I practiced martial arts and read, and I would follow Qingbo into the mountains to hunt, play with the children in the town, tell them stories, and never dreamed that I would have anything to do with the emperor."

"It was still one evening, when I was walking home with tofu, I listened to the town's catcher gossip, talking about Sword Pavilion, talking about Orange Mountain, I was fascinated by it, and I came up with an idea, the world is so big, if you don't go around to see, wouldn't it be a pity to live a lifetime?"

The eldest prince sighed: "The world is so big, I also want to look around, but, how can I have this freedom?!" All said, in fact, I still envy you. ”

Tang Ning smiled and groaned, "Really? When I first entered the capital, I ate a bowl of Zangzi noodles at a roadside stall, and I thought that the capital was really good, even the noodles on the road were so delicious, but it was too expensive, and it cost fifteen wen a bowl. ”

The eldest prince couldn't help but be silent after hearing this, he hadn't eaten a bowl of noodles on the side of the road, let alone him, even the people in his prince's mansion probably didn't eat it.

But Tang Ning thought it was delicious and thought it was very expensive.

Rong Xuan, who was walking beside Tang Ning, couldn't help but hold Tang Ning's hand, and she was very distressed in her heart, she had heard Lin Lan talk about this matter.

At the beginning, Lin Lan asked Tang Ning to invite her to dinner, and Tang Ning took her to the roadside stall to eat the noodles, and Lin Lan was unhappy at that time.

But Tang Ning said that this was the best noodle he had ever tasted, and Lin Lan's heart was touched at once.

Not only Rong Xuan's heart was touched, but the eldest prince was also touched in their hearts, although the emperor kept saying that Tang Ning had suffered a lot, but they still couldn't understand it, and they couldn't even think about it.

Because they were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, they couldn't understand what kind of life Tang Ning lived.

Now I really realized that Tang Ning felt that it was too expensive to eat a bowl of fifteen yuan of Zhenzi noodles.

Such a cheeky noodle is disdainful of the people around them.

The eldest prince sighed: "It's not in vain that my father loves you so much, you have indeed suffered a lot, compared with you, our life in the capital is very different." ”

The second prince smiled slightly: "The suffering that the third brother has suffered has not been in vain. ”

Tang Ning smiled and didn't speak, and the eldest prince said: "If we knew that you were the third brother when we met at my aunt's house for the first time, how good it would be, and there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings between us!" ”

There really won't be a misunderstanding, but open and secret battles are still indispensable, and the brothers will still be separated from each other, because there is a storage seat hanging high there to attract them.

In fact, Tang Ning was the most innocent, because he didn't want to get involved in the battle for the throne at first, even if he knew the identity of his prince, he didn't think about fighting for the throne.

He was forced, forced by the eldest prince, forced by the second prince, and forced by the emperor.

But how could the eldest prince and the second prince understand his helplessness?

Watching Tang Ning's carriage gradually move away, the second prince boarded his carriage and ordered in a deep voice: "Go, catch up with His Highness's carriage, I have something to say to His Highness!" ”

The carriage galloped rapidly, and although the carriage of the eldest prince was in front, it was not far away, and it did not take long for the carriage of the second prince to catch up.

The prince's guards were slightly vigilant, and the prince raised the curtain and looked at the guards when he heard the guard's report.

The second prince lifted the curtain and smiled: "Big brother, I have something to say to you." ”

The eldest prince was not guarded, and the carriage of the second prince gradually approached and leaned against the carriage of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince smiled: "It's so late, what does the second brother want to say?" ”

The two brothers have been separated since they were sensible, and the older they get, the more estranged they become, and they rarely talk in private.

But the eldest prince could guess what the second prince wanted to say, it must have something to do with Tang Ning.

Because the second prince must have also felt the pressure from Tang Ning, no, not just pressure, oppression, or despair.

The second prince said in a deep voice: "Recently, there has been a lot of rumors in Beijing about the third child in the grassland, has the eldest brother ever heard of it?" ”

The eldest prince nodded and said: "I've heard of it, but the rumors are untrue, speaking of which, the third child is really a majestic grassland!" ”

The second prince said in a deep voice: "Big brother, there is nothing untrue about the rumors! The father said to the elders that the tribal leaders wanted to support Tangning as the Khan King only out of a moment, and they did not really want to support Tangning as the Khan King. ”

"Actually, that's not the case, those tribal leaders and Princess Haiya on the grassland really want to support the third child as the Khan King, but the third child insists on refusing!"

"For this reason, Princess Haiya and the tribal leaders of the grassland put the third child under house arrest in the Khan Court!"

The eldest prince, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but turn his face slightly, and his heart was shocked.
