All the guests arrived, so the show began. First of all, Feng Ai's father uttered a word of gratitude as the princess was pregnant. Not to forget, Feng Ying prayed that the princess be given safety until delivery and the baby would be safe with her mother.
Everyone applauded when Feng Ying finished her greeting. After that, Gong Sheng as the owner of this event allowed the invited guests to enjoy what had been prepared by the people in the 5th prince's residence. The invited guests were seen so enjoying the dishes made by the chef at the 5th prince's residence. There are even some who do not hesitate to add their portions because they do not want to miss the delicious food.
" Truly his Highness Sheng is loved by the dea. Even the food served in this residence is very tasty and delicious." praise a guest.
" You're absolutely right, Sheng's noble luck is truly limitless. Continuing to win, married a woman who was targeted by many noble men, blessed with a good life, now she is blessed with a baby." one more added.
" Maybe this was the reply of his non-greedy attitude. He left the palace with great disrespect. But now you can see that Xili desperately needs a contribution from him." The people who were talking about the advantages of the 5th prince were really unaware that someone had eavesdropped on their conversation. This person even clenched his hands together in annoyance with the talk from these invitations.
The one who did not intentionally eavesdrop on the conversation of those who praised the 5th prince was the crown prince. His heart is very hot now. The achievements he produced forever would not be able to match the achievements the 5th prince had already made. Especially now that he has not also obtained a baby as a successor of Xili. Something that would definitely make the ministers who were on the other side, would make him lose the position of crown prince.
Gong Li increasingly wanted to immediately make Gong Sheng no longer hailed by the people of Xili. Gong Lie wanted this great general to be blasphemed and even hated by the entire Xili people. But the crown prince was naive, if Gong Sheng was blasphemed at Xili, then Goryeo would gladly take Gong Sheng to be made the main general.
" Look, I'll make you regret interrupting my position." muttered Gong Lie infuriated.
After being satisfied with the unclear nagging, Gong Lie returned to the place where his wife and sister were both. Can Gong Lie see, that his sister and wife are having a fun conversation, until the arrival of the crown prince no one realizes.
" What are you talking about?" asked the crown prince to take a seat next to his wife.
" We're talking about how lucky Princess Feng is to have a baby soon. Though they had just married, and the fifth sister had just returned from the border." replied the 2nd prince.
" Do you guys want to make any bird news about Princess Feng?" ask Gong Lie to fish.
" Can I?" ask Gong Chen.
" Chen, do you know that the age of the womb is predictable, and if we make unpleasant rumors about it, it will only be called a fool." circus Gong Lie. Surprised also himself on the brains of this brother and his wife.
" then?" gong Cheng asked in a misunderstanding.
" Just leave it. Let's just wait for the opportunity to come to us later." replied the crown prince casually.
One thing the 3rd prince only knew, that his fifth brother was holding a joker card that could make him beat the crown prince. Gong Sheng only needed one proof to be able to take down the crown prince, and he was looking forward to it. It was true that he was on the side of the crown prince, but it did not rule out the possibility that he would choose not to take sides when the crown prince was on the edge of the horn. It was all because Gong Xie did not like being downstairs.
" Fifth sister." Gong Xie called Gong Sheng.
" Is there anything that third sister needs? I'll have the waiter prepare everything." said Gong Sheng.
" No need, I just wanted to chat with you for a while. Also invite your wife so she doesn't look for you later." take Gong Xie.
Gong Sheng took the prince e 3 and his wife to a small pavilion close to Feng Ai's fish pond. The three of them sat down leaving the crowd in the courtyard not far from them.
" How old is the princess?" ask Gong Xie.
" Four weeks." replied Gong Sheng.
" That means it's the first night? Fifth sister, you're really amazing." Gong Xie laughed.
" You could, and why don't you have a partner soon?" gong Sheng asked, impressed bravely.
" At this time the palace is very chaotic, you must know that as well. Although not in government, at least you who are in defense and security must know the situation in the palace at this time. I don't want to make things worse." replied Gong Xie, very mature.
" Is that so you refuse to have a wife? " Feng Ai asked. The 5th prince's wife.
" I know why you chose Uncle Feng's daughter for you to marry. " Gong Xie whispered to his sister and said goodbye to returning to his desk.
Gong Sheng was actually very respectful towards his third brother because among the four brothers of him only the 3rd prince was not too ambitious in fighting for the throne. Gong Sheng himself had no intention of seizing the throne from the crown prince either, it was just that the people supporting him that Gong Sheng wanted to ascend the throne.
gong Sheng repeatedly refused, but in the community there was news that Xili would prosper when the 5th prince presided over the throne. Gong Sheng himself was also astonished, why did the same third brother seem to be on the side of the crown prince who was crazy for power.
It was Gong Sheng alone who did not know that such a state of affairs had made Gong Xie should become a vassal of the crown prince. A situation that if not cleared up then Gong Xie would lose something that he considered valuable, because it was very forced, by great force, to lose, Gong Xie followed whatever the crown prince said so that things would not get worse.
