Chapter 174: A spectacular show (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the eunuch left, Jingzhe stood rooted to the ground, revealing a puzzled expression. Shen Miao had specially instructed her to hand the thing over to this eunuch, but this eunuch was clearly new to the palace and had no interaction with Shen Miao. Why did she specially instruct her to do so?

Unable to figure out the reason, Jingzhe shook her head. In any case, she had already done what she was told, so she turned around and left.

“This Miss of the Shen family is very bold.” Gao Yang commented, “She even dares to play tricks in the palace. Moreover, it seems like Shen Xin doesn’t know anything.”

Xie Jingxing did not comment. He never thought that a person who dared to burn down her ancestral hall would be a coward. As for where to execute her plan, it probably did not matter to Shen Miao.

“Let’s go.” A strange smile appeared on his lips. “We should go see the show.”

“I won’t go.” Gao Yang blinked. “It’s better to be careful now.”

“Up to you,” Xie Jingxing said lazily. Suddenly, he thought of something and said casually, “If you have time, go to the Imperial Hospital and see if there’s anything we want.”

“Yes.” Gao Yang cupped his hands and walked towards the other side.

… .

Time passed quickly. It was finally time for the banquet to begin.

The women sat at the tail of the hall, and the men sat at the head of the hall. On the leftmost side, close to the throne in the middle, were the princes. Prince Zhou, Prince Jing, and Prince Ding had already arrived, followed by Prince Li, Prince Xiang, and Prince Cheng.

Prince Zhou and Prince Jing were brothers, so they were naturally on the same side. As for Prince Xiang and Prince Cheng, they teamed up with Prince Li and were on the same side. As for the crown prince, who had yet to arrive, he was supported by Prince Xuan and Prince Chu. As for the ninth prince, Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi, he did not belong to a faction. He looked like the weakest and most neutral one.

With the appearance of the three princes, the commotion in the hall gradually quietened down.

Emperor Wen Hui’s nine sons were all extremely outstanding. If they were born in an ordinary family, the family would probably be overjoyed to have so many outstanding sons. However, in the noble families, the more outstanding sons there were, the more intense the competition. What was worse was that these nine outstanding sons were born in the most heartless royal family in the world. This meant that whoever was most excellent would likely be the first to die.

Now the nine sons had all grown up. Although the crown prince had been chosen, the various forces had not stopped trying. Now that Emperor Wen Hui was still around, he could still maintain the balance, but one day, he would also grow old and die. At that time, the royal family of Ming Qi, which had long been restless, would probably be in a bloody storm.

Among the faction led by Prince Zhou, the faction led by Prince Li, and the faction led by the crown prince, the crown prince looked to be the strongest on the surface, but the crown prince was sickly. Emperor Wen Hui would not allow a weak son to sit on the throne, so the crown prince’s power was unstable. If he fell seriously ill, Prince Xuan and Prince Chu, who followed him, would benefit. The faction led by Prince Li was the largest in number thus the most powerful, so many officials chose to side with him.
