Noble Princess Consort Rong was about to mediate when she heard the Emperor say, "Second son, in your heart, is Ninth Brother the only one who is your brother, and everyone else isn't?"
He then looked at the Ninth Prince, "Little Ninth, what did you just say? Is that what you should be saying as a younger brother?"
The Ninth Prince turned pale with fright. He said anxiously, "Father Emperor, your son knows his mistake."
Noble Princess Consort Rong reached out and held the Emperor's hand, "Cousin..."
The Emperor looked at Noble Princess Consort Rong, his expression softening somewhat.
"I hope you brothers get along, understand?"
Prince Dai smiled ingratiatingly at the Emperor: "Father Emperor, your son understands."
The Ninth Prince said obediently, "Your son understands."
Noble Princess Consort Rong personally served the Emperor a bowl of snake soup congee, and said gently, "Cousin, have another bowl of congee."
