During the morning court assembly, the Crown Prince advised the Emperor to have Prince Wei assist Prince Jing in overseeing the imperial examinations in Jinling.
Prince Jing immediately stepped forward, asserting that he did not need anyone's assistance. He was well aware that the Crown Prince's real intention in assigning Prince Wei to aid him was to monitor and sabotage his efforts. He would not allow the eighth prince to ruin his plans.
The Crown Prince, adopting the demeanor of a caring elder brother, kindly persuaded Prince Jing. He said that he was concerned about Prince Jing handling matters alone in Jinling, which was why he wanted Prince Wei to accompany him. He also mentioned that with Prince Wei's help, things would go smoothly in Jinling.
After hearing the Crown Prince's words, Prince Jing let out a scoff filled with disdain, followed by a blunt expression of distaste and belittlement towards Prince Wei.
