Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

Mo Zhaohua was not happy to go, but he had to go, "How about early next month?"

Chu Xuanchi was also not interested. "Okay, Zhao Zhao will decide everything."

Mo Zhaohua changed the subject, "Prince Qi's Mansion must be very lively today. If Miss Mu comes, she will be happy."

Chu Xuanchi narrowed his eyes slightly, "If she really comes, she won't just join in the fun, I'm afraid she will become part of the fun herself."

"Then has your husband explained everything to her clearly? Don't let her have wild thoughts." Mo Zhaohua hoped that there would be peace in the mansion.

Chu Xuanchi handled things naturally and properly, "I explained it yesterday, and she understood it, and she didn't want to be a pawn in the hands of others."

Mo Zhaohua was relieved. "Although Miss Mu is a bit spoiled, she can really make clear decisions when it comes to major issues."

As the two were talking, the carriage arrived outside Prince Qi's mansion and they got off one after another.

The Prince Qi's mansion had already been decorated, with festive red silk flowers hanging on the stone lions and plaques on both sides.

Chu Xuanchi and his wife entered the palace with their guards and maids. The Crown Prince, Prince Jin and others had already arrived and were sitting in the main hall.

They first went to greet the Crown Prince and his wife, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is doing well."

Then came other elders of the royal family, as well as the King of Jin and his brothers. After the couples greeted each other, they finally took their seats.

Princess Jiashan naturally came to the banquet today, "Fifth brother and sister-in-law are so slow to arrive. The bride is almost entering the palace."

Chu Xuanchi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jiashan, there is an auspicious time to enter the mansion. As long as we know the time, we can't be late."

Prince Jin sat in the row of seats opposite Chu Xuanchi and said suggestively, "Fifth brother came here at the right time."

Chu Xuanchi glanced at Mo Zhaohua beside him and said, "I've been married before, and I've waited once, so I don't want to wait a second time."

He would only wait for his Zhao Zhao. Why should others make him wait? As long as he did not miss the bride entering the house, he would not be rude.

Prince Jin then looked at Prince Rui again, "Isn't it time for your seventh brother to get married? If you wait any longer, your eighth brother will be 20 years old."

King Rui's birthday is in the late first lunar month, and he has already held his coming-of-age ceremony this year. His mansion is not newly built, but the old residence of a former prince.

Usually, a prince would be crowned a king when he reached the age of twenty, and then leave the palace to set up his own residence. Chu Xuanchi was crowned a prince when he was in his teens because of his outstanding military exploits.

As for the palace, it depends on the status of the prince himself. For a prince like the Prince of Jin whose maternal family is powerful, the royal family would start planning to build a new palace before his coming-of-age ceremony.

However, even if it is a new palace, Prince Jin only has the right to live in it. Unless he has made meritorious contributions, he will have to move out of the palace after three generations.

Chu Xuanchi's Royal Palace is different. Unless he is deprived of his title or has no successor, the palace will always belong to him.

Prince Rui has not thought about getting married yet. "It's too late this year. Let's see next year. If it doesn't work out, let the eighth prince marry first."

As an unpopular prince, no one planned a marriage for him, and Emperor Wenzong never asked about it. So what was the point of him being anxious?

Sometimes he also envied his other brothers. Their mothers were favored in the palace and their mother's families were powerful, so they had people to help them no matter what they did.

Although he has two mothers, it is worse than having them. But he is not like Chu Xuanchi, who can go into battle and kill enemies and rely on military exploits to secure his future.

When the Eighth Prince heard him mention him, and the topic of marriage, his somewhat feminine face instantly turned red, "No..."

Prince Jin chuckled, "Oh... Eighth Prince, are you shy? Xiaojun's face turned red, and he is as cute as a little girl."

The Eighth Prince has a feminine appearance, not masculine enough but feminine enough. His facial features are somewhat similar to those of Concubine De, but his temperament is different.

Hearing this, he became visibly nervous and denied it eagerly, "No, no, no, no, no..."

This is the reason why he lost the chance to become emperor so early: stuttering!

When he was not nervous, he would pronounce fewer words at a time, just one or two, and still be able to convey some meaning.

If you are too nervous, like in this situation, you can repeat a word countless times and you can't say the second word.

A prince who can't even speak properly, let alone the throne, even finding it difficult to do his job, naturally gave Concubine De no hope.

The Eighth Prince felt that he was too ashamed, so he stayed at home unless possible. Even in the clan school, he was a mute student.

Princess Jiashan was eager to protect her brother, "Big brother, please stop teasing me. He finally got out of the Second Palace, you will scare him."

The Crown Prince also chimed in, "Yes, if the eldest brother scares the eighth brother so much that he dares not leave the palace again, you will be responsible for coaxing him out."

The Prince of Jin took advantage of the situation and said, "Eighth brother, listen to me. Even the Crown Prince said that you need someone to comfort you. If this isn't a little girl, then what is she?"

The Eighth Prince subconsciously clenched his fists, "I, I, I, I..."

The prince's gentle expression darkened, and he was a little unhappy. "That's not what I meant. Why did my eldest brother deliberately distort the facts?"

"It's just a joke. It's boring to sit and wait. Eighth brother, you should walk around more often in the future so that you can get used to it."

The Prince of Jin made the Eighth Prince so embarrassed, but he didn't take it seriously and tried to brush it off with a joke.

The Eighth Prince pursed his lips, knowing that he could not explain as fluently as the others, so he simply kept silent to avoid further embarrassment.

But the Prince of Jin kept on asking him, "Why isn't my eighth brother talking?"

His aggressiveness made Mo Zhaohua angry, but as a woman with her husband beside her, she couldn't say anything and could only rely on Chu Xuanchi.

It is so difficult to be a woman. Her husband is her heaven, and she cannot go beyond her husband, otherwise she will lose face for her husband.

Fortunately, Chu Xuanchi could no longer bear it and knew what she was thinking, so he immediately said, "I wonder what the eldest brother wants to hear from the eighth brother?"

Prince Jin looked over with interest. "It doesn't matter. He is about to leave the palace and set up his own government. He will have to face what he has to face sooner or later."

Princess Jiashan said, "But my father has already said that if my brother doesn't want to, he doesn't have to attend any banquet."

The King of Jin taught him earnestly, "You are still young and do not understand the ways of the world. This is for his own good, unless he wants to hide for the rest of his life."

Chu Xuanchi's voice was icy, "This is Eighth Brother's freedom. Since Father has allowed it, Big Brother, are you questioning Father?"

Princess Jiashan echoed, "That's right, big brother, please stop talking about my brother. Everything is decided by our father, and he is never wrong."

The King of Jin then stopped talking awkwardly, "Well, since you are all talking about my father, I have nothing to say, so I will just let you do it."

The Eighth Prince took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak again, but he still stuttered as soon as he opened his mouth, "Master, Master..."

King Jin seemed impatient. "If you have something to say, just say it directly. You don't need to address me as the king."

The Eighth Prince's ears turned red with embarrassment, "I, I, I, I, I..."

King Jin looked at the guards holding the four treasures of the study beside him and said, "If you really can't say it, let them serve you with pens and ink."
