His Majesty and the Noble Consort reconciled, which seemed to bring changes for the princes in the imperial court.
Previously, there was speculation if Consort Que was favored because His Majesty had been summoning her to serve him every day out of the blue.
Thus, the situation was different for the Third Prince, Hongyun, as well.
Now that the Noble Consort and His Majesty had reconciled, those who had sought favor before were feeling anxious.
After all, the Fifth Prince, Hongxin, had always remained composed.
Others could tolerate it, but for Hongyun, the disparity was suddenly apparent.
Seeing Hongxin again made him feel he couldn't bear to look at him.
Sarcasm dripped from every word.
"I do wonder what's so good about a boy growing up so coquettish; who knows whether you'll marry or be sent for alliance in the future."
Hongxin paused his steps, still young and completely unaware of the existence of people who fancy the same sex.
