Not only did Fang Zinan not pursue the matter of running away from home, he did not even ask about it, if this had never happened before. Although Shang Yiqing was confused, as long as no one tried to scare her off, he was happy not to fuss about it. Actually, she had only left that day out of anger and hadn't decided where she wanted to go. It wasn't that bad to be an imperial concubine; after all, she was a relative of the royal family, so she didn't have to worry about food or clothing!

But after that incident, Fang Zinan no longer slept in the same room as her, and every night he slept in the study room. Furthermore, his attitude towards her became distant, other than showing her a little bit of love in front of everyone, whenever he brought her to the Prince Yu's Mansion.

On this day, they went to Prince Yu's Mansion to pay their respects to the Lord of Prince Yu.

By the time they arrived, the other princes and consort had already arrived.

"Aiya, Prince Rong, why did you guys only arrive at this time?" The Prince Ning's Wife exaggerated as she spoke, the entire hall was filled with her high-pitched voice, at the same time her face revealed a perfunctory smile.

"Everyone knows that Ning Wang's health has never been good. We came late, I hope father and the other princes can forgive us." Shang Yiqing's face was full of smiles. For some reason, she did not like the way Prince Ning's Wife spoke at all.

Prince Xuan's Wife stood up and called out to Shang Yiqing: "Prince Rong's Wife, come over quickly. We sisters, let's sit together."

At this time, the Prince Rong had already walked over and sat with the princes. The princesses sat together with them.

The had a total of four sons, all four of them had now become emperors of their families. The Prince Yu's concubine had passed away more than ten years ago, but the relationship between husband and wife was very good. Ever since the death of their wife, although the Prince Yu had married the imperial consort, their relationship with the imperial consort was very limited.

"father, I see that after the Fourth Prince's brother got married, his body seems to have gotten a lot better." The one who spoke was King Ding. He knew that his father, due to Prince Rong's weak body, was especially considerate, so he took the opportunity to speak in such a manner for his father's benefit.

Fang Zinan smiled slightly. In front of all the brothers, he was always especially low-key. Although they were all brothers born from the same mother, they were not as harmonious as they seemed to be. Especially in the past two years, the gap in their hearts had deepened. The reason was simple, the current emperor doesn't have a son, and Prince Yu was the emperor's blood brother. Therefore, his four sons all became hot heirs to the throne, what brotherly friendship, brotherly friendship, once involved in the battle with the emperor, they would become unfriendly and unfriendly.

"Come, us brothers toast to father." Ning Wang raised his cup. Amongst all the brothers, he was the oldest, and his words usually contained some of the arrogance of a big brother.

The four princes raised their cups to toast the father. Fang Zinan only took a light sip before placing the cup down.

"Fourth Prince, why aren't you drinking anymore?" Ning Wang looked at him in displeasure. Although Prince Rong was weak, he could still drink a cup of wine?

"Royal brother, the Fourth Brother is weak, let him go." As the Prince Xuan spoke, he glanced at Fang Zinan's concerned eyes.

"Today, we brothers are here to make the father happy. Everyone has drunk all of this wine and only the four royal brothers do not drink. Could it be that they have some disrespect for the father?" Amongst all the brothers, the one he disliked the most was the Prince Rong. As brothers, each of them had a heroic appearance, only the Prince Rong, as a man, was always sickly and had no manliness!

This time, King Ding was unhappy: "Brother Wang, why do you say that? You clearly know that the Fourth Prince's brother is weak and sickly, and has not even said anything to the father, why do you need to make things difficult for him? "

"What's wrong? I am the history of the King, are you all not going to listen to me? " Ning Wang said unhappily. He knew that Ning Wang had always liked to oppose him. To speak of him in such a manner in front of so many people was clearly not giving him face.

"My royal brothers, please don't argue anymore. This little brother will drink this cup." Fang Zinan sighed lightly and picked up the wine cup.

"Don't argue anymore, brothers. Prince Rong is weak and isn't good at drinking, so this duke didn't say anything. When will you argue?"

Ning Wang glanced at everyone after hearing his father's words. He didn't say anything more, but an expression of disdain appeared on his face. He was the eldest among all the brothers, and the current emperor had no sons. If he was to choose one of their brothers to inherit the throne, he would be the eldest son of Prince Yu and would have the most hope. Thus, in front of his brothers and sisters, he would unconsciously reveal his domineering attitude. It was a pity that his other brothers and sisters did not want to sell him out, especially King Ding, who loved to go against him.

Seeing that his father had spoken, the Prince Xuan immediately laughed: "Everyone, don't start a fight over such a small matter. Let's just drink up."

When Prince Yu heard this, his face revealed a smile, "Prince Xuan is right. If all of you can see the big picture like Prince Xuan, then father will be happy."

"I know that the Third Prince has always been very good at being human. It seems that as his brother, I have to learn from the Third King's disciple." Dingdong.

looked at all of this and smiled bitterly. Why was it that every time he came to the Prince Yu's Mansion to reunite with his family, such an unhappy thing would happen? Can't we get along together? Thinking about it, he glanced over at Shang Yiqing, only to see her sitting together with a few of the consorts, as if they were happily chatting with each other.

She only heard Shang Yiqing laugh and say: "Little sister, let's toast to all of you."

Prince Xuan's Wife hurriedly raised her goblet in agreement, but Prince Ning's Wife didn't even move. She was the same as her husband, looking down on Prince Rong the most, thus, she was extremely disdainful towards Shang Yiqing's attitude.

All of this was seen by Prince Ding's Wife, so she could not help but say, "Why is Prince Rong's Wife toasting, why is Prince Ning's Wife not moving at all? Isn't he not giving me any face?"

"What are you saying? "This wangfei has only drunk a few cups of wine previously, but now that the alcohol's power has increased, I'd like to take a breather." The Prince Ning's Wife spoke casually just to cover up his actions just now.

Prince Ding's Wife laughed coldly, "Is that really the case?"

"What should I do? I'm afraid it's not my sister's turn to speak, right?" Prince Ning's Wife scoffed coldly, giving him the same disdainful look.

"Sisters, you should forget about it. Let's not fuss over such a small matter. It would not be good if the princes saw it." Prince Xuan's Wife tried to persuade her with a gentle smile on his face.
