As soon as Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian came in, the Crown Prince saw them. The reason why he didn’t move, was that he was waiting for Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian to come forward and pay him greetings.

The Crown Prince’s move was not originally aiming at Lin Chujiu, but for Xiao Zian.

Xiao Zian was now in-charged of the Tongyuan Bank. He made a big contribution of help to the emperor, which made the Crown Prince feel threatened. When the Crown Prince saw Xiao Zian coming in, he wanted to let know who was in power, but… …

Even if Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian saw him, they acted like they didn’t see him. They walked without giving him another look and even sat down directly!

Xiao Zian, you are too much!

The Crown Prince was furious, his face drastically changed. Lin Furen and Lin Wanting were startled. When they looked back along the Crown Prince’s line of sight, they saw that Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian was sitting to the table next to them. They were about to get up to pay respect, but the Crown Prince slammed the table: “Bold!”

The Crown Prince shouted in anger, but before he could say another word,  he was interrupted by a hearty voice, “Hmm? Who makes the Crown Prince upset?”

The person who spoke was the Prince Wen, the eldest son of the emperor, who came in with Princess Fushou Zhang.

Prince Wen was seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a  finger-long scar on his left eye, which made him looked a bit fierce. His body has the unique rigidity and murderous aura of the soldiers and also the identity of a prince. However, he doesn’t have the noble and domineering atmosphere of Xiao Tianyao.

Compared with Xiao Tianyao, Prince Wen was more like a warrior.

“Imperial Brother Wen, you’re here.” When the Crown Prince saw Prince Wen, he slightly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Prince Wen’s eyes.

“We greet his highness, may you live… …” Lin Furen and Lin Wanting originally intended to greet Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian. However, they were interrupted by the Crown Prince and Prince Wen, so they could only greet Prince Wen first.

“You don’t have to be too polite.” Prince Wen waved his hand impatiently, “I hate you, women who only know to gossip.”

“Imperial Brother Wen, you are still so rude.” The Crown Prince shook his head. Looking at the familiar face, Prince Wen patted the Crown Prince’s shoulder and unkindly said: “His Royal Highness is still so thin, I said a long time ago, you should exercise, or why don’t you go with me in the barracks. I recently made a fortune, so I built a martial arts fields.”

Prince Wen was good at martial arts and wealthy. But he spent his wealth only related to martial arts. Almost all the money he earned was used to improve his soldiers. He was very generous to the people under him.

When the Crown Prince was patted by Prince Wen, he almost fell to the ground…

Lin Wanting and Lin Furen stepped aside long before Prince Wen came, so as not to be “wrongly injured” by him. Princess Fushou Zhang stood aside, looking at the brothers with a smile on her face. She had no intention of stepping forward.

It can be said that the Crown Prince and Prince Wen were both Lin Chujiu’s juniors. When Prince Wen saw Lin Chujiu, he should first give Lin Chuji a greeting. However, the crown prince and Prince Wen Wang greeted each other first, as if  Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian didn’t exist.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zian dispelled the idea of ​​paying Prince Wen a greeting. Seeing the tea and water on the table, he boiled the water to make tea.

The Crown Prince wanted to dismount the horse for him, he doesn’t care about it, but it shouldn’t be the case with Lin Chujiu.

As for Prince Wen?

Ever since their imperial father valued him more, Prince Wen targeted him everywhere. They don’t have brotherhood to talk about.
