Chapter 428 Jealousy
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan's breathing was even and his face was peaceful. He was already fast asleep.
A group of palace servants and eunuchs were standing guard outside the door, holding their breath and working quietly.
Outside the courtyard, a eunuch came running in hurriedly, "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is here to visit His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince, go and tell him quickly."
The eunuchs guarding the door looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally pushed one of them out. He said hesitantly, "His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince has just gone to bed. This, this..."
"Go and pass the message!"
The eunuch named Zhao Youxi didn't care about all this. He was the Ninth Prince's man. The palace maids and eunuchs in the Twelfth Prince's own courtyard were not afraid of the Twelfth Prince, let alone him.
However, these eunuchs who were most fond of serving food were hesitant and unwilling to wake up the twelfth prince. Were they warned by someone?
Could it be that the twelfth prince has become arrogant?
Or did someone come over and kindly help the twelfth prince beat up the servants?
Write it down and report it to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince when you get back.
The eunuch Zhao Youxi was still thinking to himself.
"His Highness the Ninth Prince heard that the Twelfth Prince was frightened and wanted to come to visit the Twelfth Prince. You bunch of tactless dogs, do you want His Highness the Ninth Prince to be turned away? How many heads do you have that are worth chopping off?"
"Yes, Eunuch Zhao, we will report it immediately."
The servants who ran errands and guarded the gates under the princes were of similar rank, but their status was determined by their different masters.
The Ninth Prince is not only the legitimate son, but also the future Crown Prince. Their hesitation for these two moments is already enough to do justice to the Twelfth Prince.
.........................
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please wake up. The Ninth Prince is coming to see you."
The eunuch who came in to report carefully woke up the twelfth prince Qin Mingfan who had just fallen asleep.
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan slowly opened his eyes and stared at the eunuch who woke him up.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince is coming. Zhao Youxi, the errand boy for the Ninth Prince, is really domineering.
It is said that the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
We are worried that if we don't wake you up as he wants, he will say bad things about you in front of the Ninth Prince, causing you to offend the Ninth Prince for no reason, and then you will be accused of disrespecting your brother."
The eunuch opened his mouth and chattered non-stop.
"Got it. You can go out now. Someone, help me change my clothes."
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan lowered his eyes and did not scold the eunuch. His gaze just now was as dazed as if he had just woken up, and his attitude was still gentle.
After the twelfth prince had washed and dressed, he sat in the hall, lowered his head and dozed off and on.
"Twelve, Twelve, why don't you go to bed and sleep?" The Ninth Prince Qin Mingxuan sat down next to the Twelfth Prince Qin Mingfan, his tone as warm as spring breeze.
"The eunuch said that my ninth brother would come to visit me. I..."
The twelfth prince Qin Mingfan looked up at the ninth prince Qin Mingxuan's handsome and cheerful demeanor, suppressed the disgust in his heart, lowered his head, and looked listless.
Compared to the hypocritical attitude of his eldest brother, he hated his ninth brother's humble and modest appearance, which was as gentle as the breeze and bright moon.
Or...jealousy.
Whether it was his eldest brother Qin Mingyu or his ninth brother Qin Mingxuan, they both made him extremely jealous.
The eldest prince asked him to follow the ninth prince and be an insider, so shouldn't he do his job well?
What can I use as a token of my allegiance?
Of course he had found out about that. When his mother was pregnant with him, she encountered two accidents. He could choose to blame one of them on his eldest brother... I guess his eldest brother wouldn't mind, right?
