"You said this, I have thought about it carefully, and what Yanyan said makes a lot of sense. The power of the prince is not comparable to mine, why bother to make a meaningless struggle? Besides, that position is not so easy to sit on, I am not that kind of material at all. I will just be an idle prince, with no worries about food and drink, and beautiful women by my side, wouldn't such a life be happier?"

Xiao Jingcheng was speechless after hearing this. "Third brother, you have changed too quickly, haven't you? That's not what you said when I advised you before? How do you know you can't win if you don't try? We are both princes, why can elder brother be the crown prince, but we have to be inferior to him? Isn't that what you said? Have you forgotten it? Why do you remain indifferent when I advise you earnestly, but think it makes sense when my sister-in-law advises you?"

Xiao Jingfeng smiled when he heard this, "Brother, don't be angry, it's not like that. In fact, my change of mind was not entirely due to Yanyan, but also your contribution. In the final analysis, you two have the same idea. When Yanyan first said that, I was not shaken, and even thought she was looking down on me. But as time went by, it really proved that what you said was right. Before, I was just too proud to admit defeat. Now think about it, I am indeed inferior to the prince in every way, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with."

After hearing Xiao Jingfeng's explanation, Xiao Jingcheng felt more comfortable.

"Oh, you know now? Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? You wasted so much time and energy. Xingyu and I were originally living a peaceful and carefree life, but you ruined it all."

Xiao Jingfeng felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. "Second brother, calm down. Wasn't it because I was ignorant before? Now I understand your feelings. When you are with someone you like, your thoughts will become much simpler. You just want to live a good life. Nothing else is so important."

Xiao Jingcheng sighed and said seriously, "I think you are serious about my sister-in-law this time, but if you really want to live a good life with your sister-in-law, you should deal with the things in the backyard first. There are so many women in your backyard, and my sister-in-law doesn't know how much trouble she has in her heart. How can you let her believe your sincerity?"

Xiao Jingfeng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Second brother, other people may not know about this, but you don't know? Except for the two concubines who were arranged by our father and I couldn't refuse, I didn't take the other concubines on my own initiative."

What Xiao Jingfeng said was indeed true. In order to lower the guard of other brothers, especially the prince, against him, he deliberately acted cynical. There were also reports that he could not walk when he saw a beautiful woman and was obsessed with it every day.

Although Xiao Jingfeng himself did not have any great abilities, only by fixing his image as a playboy could he really prevent the other brothers from taking him seriously.

Once this matter spread, coupled with Xiao Jingfeng's performance, not only did a few princes believe it, but everyone else took it seriously as well.

When those ministers who were unaware of the situation heard that the third prince had such a hobby, they all came forward to "give gifts". In order to make the matter more realistic, Xiao Jingfeng had no choice but to accept them all.

After receiving this wave of "gifts", more and more women came to the backyard.

In addition, in order to make others more convinced, Xiao Jingfeng often went to brothels during that period and redeemed a lot of people, so the backyard became more and more lively.

However, although this matter was widely spread outside, the women in the backyard expressed doubts about it.

Because since they entered the backyard of the palace, they have never even seen the King of Qin.

The King of Qin simply kept them well fed and well fed, but never showed up in public. This was very different from what they had known before.

Originally, they heard that the King of Qin loved beautiful women, so they were all eager to try, and even dreamed of being favored by the King of Qin and enjoying wealth and glory.

But after actually arriving here, the beautiful dream was shattered. Not only was she not pampered, she couldn't even see the King of Qin.

At first, these women still discussed this matter, but later they found that they didn't have to do anything every day here, and they had no worries about food and drink. Life was so comfortable that gradually these people stopped pursuing these meaningless things.

In the past few years, these so-called concubines would only pay their respects to the two concubines during festivals and holidays, which was just a formality.

The last time all the members went out was the day when the two concubines brought them to pay their respects to Su Yan, but they were directly turned away and did not even see Su Yan.

But even if they saw it, they didn't dare to tell the truth casually.

After all, they didn't dare to speak without the King of Qin's permission.

Otherwise, if they angered the King of Qin, their "iron rice bowl" would be lost.

Xiao Jingfeng has kept these "concubines" for several years. How easy is it to get rid of them all at once?

Even if it was false that Xiao Jingfeng loved beauties, these women had helped him a lot after all, and he was not a heartless man and could not abandon them.

After all, most of them are homeless. Without the protection of the palace, they might even have trouble surviving.

Xiao Jingcheng sighed when he heard this. He understood the logic behind this, but if these problems were not handled properly, Su Yan would always misunderstand him.

"You are the one who caused this, and you have to clean up this mess yourself. Anyway, from your sister-in-law's perspective, if you don't deal with those women, she will not treat you well."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingfeng fell into deep thought. What his second brother said made sense. It seemed that he had to explain this matter to Yanyan as soon as possible.

He didn’t care what other people thought of him, but he couldn’t let Yanyan keep misunderstanding him.

"Thank you for your reminder, second brother. I will deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Xiao Jingyi was doing fine as usual today, and brought Tang Yingqian to watch the ceremony.

Lin Qingyao couldn't help but sneer at Xiao Jingyi's sanctimonious look. If she hadn't heard from Tang Yingqian what Xiao Jingyi had done to Lin Qingrou, just looking at his righteous look, it would have been hard to believe that he could be so cruel and merciless that he could be so brutal to the woman he once loved deeply.

But all this is good news for Lin Qingyao. This pair of dogs are now killing each other, which is really gratifying to her.

Although Lin Qingrou is physically weak, she has a very strong life.

Over the past year, Lin Qingrou had endured so much punishment and torture that even Lin Qingyao couldn't count them all.

Each injury was extremely serious. Lin Qingrou's face was ruined and her legs were lame. It could be said that there was no good place on her body, but she could not die no matter what.

Lin Qingyao couldn't help but sneer when she thought of this, and she didn't know whether to say that Lin Qingrou was lucky or unfortunate.
