Regardless of whether he was sincere or just faking it, when Ning Wang heard those words, he felt very comfortable. He happily praised, "Brother, you have no choice but to refuse my kind intentions!"
Just then, a voice came from outside the corridor, "What matter is it that you, Big Brother, are disrespectful? Let me hear it too. "
Among all of his brothers, this person was the most difficult to deal with. On the surface, he seemed to be playful and disrespectful, but in reality, he was shrewd and capable. Furthermore, he had the appreciation of Prince Yu and the Emperor.
When Ning Wang heard this voice, he could not help but ask, "Why is Third Brother free to come to my house today? And it was so mysterious! If you didn't say it yourself, would Big Bro really not know that you were eavesdropping outside? "
A mocking smile hung on his face, but his eyes were extremely sharp. The moment he stepped into the study, he bluntly rebuked: "Big Brother, what you said is wrong. Your little brother only heard your question the moment I stepped into the hallway."
Ning Wang smiled. "Alright, let's not fuss over a few matters for now. Tell me, why did you come to my manor today?"
King Xuan sat down and said carelessly, "We are blood brothers after all. Isn't it normal for me to come and see you? Isn't second brother also here? "
When Ning Wang heard King Xuan's words, it wasn't convenient for him to say anything more. He could only sit down with a smile.
King Ding shot a glance at King Xuan. "Since third brother heard our conversation just now, you can share your thoughts."
King Xuan laughed coldly, "Since both brothers have made up their minds, how could I, the younger brother, dare oppose?"
"I know that King Xuan is highly regarded by the Emperor among us brothers. He was supposed to be the champion of the Dragon Boat Festival, but who would've thought that he would give Prince Rong the spotlight? I'm sure he's unconvinced, right?" Prince Ding spoke calmly while also trying to guess King Xuan's thoughts.
"Second Brother, do you think that I'm such a petty person?" King Xuan smiled coldly again, "I only feel that Prince Rong is our younger brother and has been weak since he was young. As brothers, we should act like brothers, not adding insult to injury."
With these words spoken, Ning Wang and Ning Wang's expressions changed drastically. They didn't say anything for a long while. King Xuan's words had hit the nail right on the head. What did he mean?
After a while, Prince Ding coldly snorted, "Third brother, what you say is wrong. How could we just add insult to injury? If it wasn't for the empress's love, Prince Rong wouldn't have had the chance to compete fair with us. Besides, the three of us can take on any side in terms of military merits and political accomplishments, what about King Rong? What did he have? What would he do? Even though I'm your big brother, I've always done things fairly. If it were you and King Ding, any of you who were chosen as Crown Prince would have nothing to say to each other. But if Prince Rong is able to take over the throne just because of the Empress's love, then I'll be the first one to be unconvinced! "
"Brother is right!" That's what I think too, what right do incompetent people have to fight with us? " King Ding also firmly stated his position.
Hearing his two brothers say this, King Xuan was silent. Who wouldn't covet the throne? Compared to the three of them, Prince Rong's ability was far behind. But since Prince Rong was his own younger brother, he couldn't possibly attack his younger brother first as the three of them were brothers after the emperor declared their fair competition, right? After all, Prince Rong was the youngest of the two brothers!
King Ding saw that King Xuan remained silent and quickly said, "Third brother, I know you and fourth brother have a good relationship. However, what you are talking about now is not a case of being soft-hearted! Moreover, Fourth Brother's body was weak. With his physique, would he be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility? The Southern Champion Kingdom needs a talented and scheming emperor in order to make the nation's wealth and people strong and thrive day by day! "
Duke Xuan still didn't speak. He only used his pair of sharp black eyes to stare at a random place, but no one knew what he was thinking about.
Ning Wang turned to look at King Xuan. Sunlight shone through the wooden window and shone on his handsome and mocking smile. His dark eyes seemed to flicker under the sunlight, as if he was deep in thought.
After a long while, King Xuan suddenly smiled, "Since my two brothers have put it this way, then third brother shouldn't say anything else. It's just that we need to be magnanimous in everything, and Prince Rong is our blood brother after all.
Ning Wang laughed loudly, "Of course, don't worry. No matter what, we are brothers. Blood is thicker than water. We just want to do what we should, not what we can't do!"
King Ding repeatedly nodded his head. "Big Brother is right. Actually, the reason we're doing this is also for the good of Prince Rong. He has no merits or merits, so what right does he have to serve the masses?"
King Xuan smiled slightly and stood up. "Forget it, let's not talk about these matters. It's been a long time since I've been to Big Brother's residence. I wonder if Big Brother is willing to honor Big Brother by inviting Little Brother to a drink?"
"You! It's as if I'm not interested in anything other than drinking! " Ning Wang smiled and sighed.
"The one who knows me is my big brother. Let's go, I want to see what kind of aged wine you have in your house!" Without waiting for them to react, King Xuan walked out of the study with a playful and cynical smile on his face, as if he didn't care about anything and his gaze was sharp to the point of being menacing!
King Ning and King Xuan exchanged a look. King Xuan's personality had always been hard to figure out, and even though he had revealed his attitude just now, it was obvious that he wasn't willing to make a move on Prince Rong. However, the three of them were together now.
Ning Wang quickly walked up. "Third Brother, I have twenty years of aging here. I think you can definitely enjoy it!"
"Big brother, I already knew that your mansion had good wine. I didn't come here for nothing!" King Xuan laughed complacently. "Do you have a beauty? "If you have a beauty to accompany you with, then third brother will like it even more!"
Ning Wang was startled, then burst out laughing. "You and I are indeed brothers. Although the singing prostitutes in my mansion are not beauties of heaven, they are not average people either. I'll let Third Brother have a taste of them later!"
"My eyes have always been picky!" After saying this, King Xuan fixed his eyes on Ning Wang.
"Then let's talk about it after we've seen it!" Ning Wang appeared very magnanimous, not at all bothered by Prince Xuan's attitude. He was very clear that his little brother was unruly and did not respect his elders!
On the other hand, King Ding, who was following behind him, said, "King Xuan, you have to restrain yourself. Don't be so wild and unruly. We are your brothers after all!"
King Xuan laughed heartily as he turned his head back and winked. "It is precisely because you are my brothers that I dared to be so impudent. If it were in front of others, I would definitely not be like this!"
