Chapter 1,350 Fiefdom

"Perhaps Your Highness should know that the Fourth Prince invited me to have tea immediately after Master Chu's birthday party. If you are like him and want to win me over, you are already several days behind him. ”

Su Chen smiled lightly and said.

"I know."

The eldest prince admitted, "So, I am not here because I want you to become my staff or counselor. I just want to make friends with you, or in other words, I hope you can treat me as a friend."

"Why would the eldest prince Tianhuang want to be friends with a commoner like me?"

Su Chen chuckled and said.

"I believe that in your mind, there is no idea that relatives of the royal family are nobler than people of commoner origin. In fact, I am the same."

The eldest prince said sincerely, "Of course, I enjoy the benefits brought by my background, but at the same time I also bear the heavy pressure brought by my background. One of them is that I cannot make friends as I want."

"Then why did the eldest prince choose me to be his friend?"

Su Chen asked.

"Su Chen, I won't misjudge you. You are a piece of gold and will shine wherever you go. Moreover, I think we have similarities. You are a proud person and so am I."

The eldest prince's eyes were shining with gleaming light, and his appearance at this moment showed a bit of desire that was rare in ordinary times.

"First Prince, do you want to be the heir apparent?"

Su Chen asked.

"Of course I do."

The eldest prince did not deny it, "Every prince may think that, but restricted by his mother's family and various factors, there are very few people who can actually put this idea into action. I am lucky to be one of them."

"Is the other one the fourth prince?"

Su Chen asked with a smile.

"Well, the fourth brother has been ambitious since he was a child. It is normal for him to want to be the crown prince. However, he and I are different. I didn't have many thoughts in this regard when I was a child. But something happened later and changed "

The eldest prince also looked a little sad when he said this.

"What's up?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

"I have a girl who has been my childhood sweetheart, and we have a very good relationship. And I have been a proud person since I was a child. There was a time when I didn't bother to compete with other princes. I felt that they were trying to compete with each other, and I just chose to do it. Don’t. Think that the trajectory of your life is to be an idle prince and grow old with her, and that’s fine.”

The eldest prince said.

"What happened next? What happened?"

Su Chen asked.

"Her father was a general of the border garrison of Yaohai Kingdom. One day, her father was reported by his subordinates to have connections with foreign countries, and there was solid evidence."

The eldest prince said, "Although I know that her father cannot be that kind of person, and there is definitely someone who is causing trouble, but in the face of conclusive evidence, as a prince with no real power, I have no way to save myself, so I can only watch helplessly." Her father was pushed to the execution ground and I never saw her again.”

"Where did she go?"

Su Chen asked.

"She left Yaohai Country and only left me a note, saying that she did not want to return to this sad place in her life."

The eldest prince smiled bitterly and said, "From that day on, my thoughts changed. I found that the pride I had always insisted on was worthless. Since I am the prince, I must abide by the rules of the prince's game and participate in the battle. Otherwise, it will be like this, and even the people you care about most will leave you. "

"So, are you competing for the crown prince position to make up for it?"

Su Chen asked with a faint smile.

"It can't be said that it is completely made up for. Indeed, I used to think every day that if I were a prince with real power and could intervene in this matter to a greater extent, maybe her father would not die. However, people cannot be resurrected after death. Even if I regret it again, I can’t turn back time.”

"However, I still have to do my best to fight for the position of crown prince, because as long as I ascend the throne one day, I will have the power to restart the investigation of her father's case and mobilize all manpower and material resources to find the truth. Although I cannot use The dead person has come back to life again, but at least to restore her father's innocence, it can be regarded as fulfilling one of my obsessions. "

The eldest prince said with a serious face.

"I see."

Su Chen nodded.

"Su Chen, you asked me if I wanted to be the crown prince, and I answered you. Now, is it your turn to answer my question?"

The eldest prince suppressed the sadness in his eyes, showed his usual smile, and joked.

Su Chen thought for a while, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and said, "Then I will replace wine with tea today and make your highness a friend."

"Okay, okay." The eldest prince also showed a surprised smile, and quickly picked up the tea cup in front of him and said, "Su Chen, I may have made you more than ten years older than you, so I call you my good brother. Let's drink this." Tea, we will be friends from now on.”

"Why are you so polite, Your Highness?" Su Chen drank a drink with the eldest prince.
