The news of the new crown prince spread like wildfire throughout the capital. It was said that he could recite poems at the age of three, shoot arrows at the age of five, hunt at the age of seven, and was even nine.

Although the outside world made the news of the Twelfth Prince as if he were a fairy descending from heaven, when the Gong Xiaoxuan in the Prince An Palace heard the news that his subordinate had brought back, he could not help but let out a cold laugh.

The Twelfth Brother had never been known to show his edge, whether it was when he was studying at the Crown Prince's office or when the royal family was hunting, nor did he have any of the things that were passed down in these cities. Now that he had suddenly become the crown prince, his background must not be simple. Thinking of this, his gaze could not help but become more vicious.

The pitiful guy who was still kneeling on the ground and reporting, felt his head go numb when he saw the change in expression on Gong Xiaoxuan's face.

"Prince, this subordinate has found out that the Twelfth Prince is organizing a birthday banquet recently. The time is in three days."

A birthday feast? The twelfth prince's birthday had come? Gong Xiaoxuan frowned, he thought for a long time, but still could not remember what day his birthday was. However, a smile soon appeared on his face. It seemed like the new Crown Prince was going to make use of his birthday to have a good show.

Squinting his eyes, he instructed, "Have the butler go to the storage room and pack up a proper birthday present. When the time comes, send it over to This King on This King's behalf."

The guard nodded in agreement and asked carefully, "Prince isn't going?"

Gong Xiaoxuan's eyes flashed, and did not reply. The guard's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, he was being too kind!

"Alright, you can leave now." With that, everyone in the room disappeared. The wind blew in through the window, creating a pleasant whistling sound.

The next day, the crown prince's residence sent over an invitation with gold scalding, the words "Invitation Letter" were extremely dazzling, the butler did not dare delay any further, and immediately sent it to Gong Xiaoxuan.

Gong Xiaoxuan looked at it, his lips curled into a smile, and full of undisguised ridicule, he casually threw it to the side.

"Prince, the servant and servant that delivered the letter said that His Highness the Crown Prince hopes that you will definitely attend the birthday banquet." The butler bowed slightly and reported respectfully.

Must he be here? Gong Xiaoxuan's eyes flashed with coldness. As the crown prince's brother, he could not wait to show off his sense of existence.

"A birthday banquet? Do you want me to go with you? No matter what, I am still your Princess An. " Baili Jinxiu walked in from outside with the tea cup, and said half joking.

A pair of intelligent eyes full of cunning, appeared peerless.

The butler by the side saw Baili Jinxiu walking in, bowed and tactfully left.

Baili Jinxiu poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Gong Xiaoxuan. Seeing his tightly furrowed brows, he mocked, "The reason Gong Xiaohan had just become the emperor was only to make use of this birthday banquet to gain the support of some officials. Why do you need to frown? I can't eat you. "

Gong Xiaoxuan laughed bitterly, he raised his teacup and took a sip.

"Although it is not a Hongmen feast, it is even more so. But I'm not thinking about his birthday party. "

Baili Jinxiu chuckled, "I presume that Prince is thinking about how the Twelfth Prince managed to become the crown prince."

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Gong Xiaoxuan nodded his head.

"I know 12's abilities, it's definitely not the card that the Emperor is hiding. I suspect that the one behind this is not simple."

After hearing all that, the smile on Baili Jinxiu's face gradually disappeared. Over the past few days, she had also heard a lot of things regarding Gong Xiaohan, but most of them were praises.

Baili Jinxiu did not believe him and asked Yolk Sect to check again. In the end, he found out that there was someone behind all this to push public opinion, but the person who pushed public opinion was not sent by Gong Xiaohan.

Baili Jinxiu was also a little hesitant, and asked hesitantly: "Do you think Gong Xiaohan will join hands with someone?"

If Gong Xiaohan was like that from the past, he would not be suddenly recognized as the emperor by the Emperor, and from their investigation of him, Baili Jinxiu did not believe that he had been enduring since he was young.

Then the most powerful explanation would be — who had he allied with?

Gong Xiaoxuan probably thought about this and narrowed his eyes dangerously. "But who can he ally with at this time, and how can he persuade the Emperor to make him the crown prince?"

The two of them sat there quietly, thinking and not saying a word.

Two days later, on the birthday of the crown prince, the entire capital was filled with excitement. Although many of the commoners had never seen the crown prince himself, they had heard that he was an immortal from the market. Therefore, they were all discussing the birthday of the crown prince.

The crown prince's household was extremely busy, but the Prince An's household was eerily quiet.

Gong Xiaoxuan and Baili Jinxiu sat facing each other, the applications on their faces extremely heavy and the atmosphere extremely strange.

Baili Jinxiu's expression was somewhat ugly as he shot a glance at Gong Xiaoxuan, and said with difficulty: "The person from Yolk Sect reported back to me just now, saying that it was Jin Nie's person who was promoting public opinion."

Gong Xiaoxuan slightly raised his eyes, his expression cold, "I know, what a good Crown Prince Jin Nie!"

Not only did he collude with the Prince Dongyang, he even colluded with Gong Xiaohan. Even though the Prince Dongyang was pressed inside the prison, they couldn't be sure if he would be pulled out.

"Prince, the birthday present to the crown prince's residence has been prepared. Have you and Princess Hua-Yang prepared to set off yet, or would you like this old servant to send it over first?" The butler dutifully handed over the gift list and asked for Gong Xiaoxuan's opinion.

Gong Xiaoxuan took it and looked at it. It was a pair of jade ruyi and blue glazed porcelain bottles. They were all things that were common to people even though they were luxurious. He smiled and instructed the steward, "Take the red coral from the warehouse and put them in there. How can we be stingy on the crown prince's birthday?"

Red coral was produced from the East Ocean, it was extremely rare, and red coral of this size was even rarer. It was given to him by the enemy nation when Gong Xiaoxuan conquest the enemy country, the Emperor was happy and gifted it to him.

The butler nodded and asked again, "Are you sending this birthday present to this old servant or are you bringing the Prince's wangfei over personally?"

Baili Jinxiu was a little confused. Why did Gong Xiaoxuan give the precious Red Coral to Gong Xiaohan?

However, this statement seemed a bit forced. Everyone was smart, it was impossible for them to let their guard down just because they received some benefits.

Tilting his head, he looked at Gong Xiaoxuan to see what he was planning to do.

However, Gong Xiaoxuan was not in a hurry. He returned the gift slip to the butler and said, "You can go send the birthday present over first. I will go with Princess Hua-Yang later."

The butler should have left, and only Gong Xiaoxuan and Baili Jinxiu were left in the house.

Baili Jinxiu looked at Gong Xiaoxuan in puzzlement. He really did not understand what Gong Xiaoxuan was trying to do.

But Gong Xiaoxuan pretended not to see it, and walked over to pull Baili Jinxiu up, and leisurely walked out. As he walked, he lightly smiled: "Won't you know once you get to the crown prince's mansion? We have to go celebrate the birthday of my good Crown Prince Royal Younger Brother. "

After Baili Jinxiu heard this, he did not think anymore and followed Gong Xiaoxuan up the carriage.
