"We share the same mother yet you are the first to disrespect me, it seems like I have been too lax!" he yelled in anger, the three of them quickly dropped to their knees and bowed slightly.
"Your highness, please do not be angry," they chorused.
The other princes sighed, they know the first prince has a bad temper especially since the arrival of the fourth prince yet they just had to infuriate him, he might not have any real power but he still has the empress, prime minister and the hierarchy of the royal family behind him.
"Seventh Prince, since you are close with the fourth prince then can you tell me why the fourth prince is not here despite my invitation," the first prince queried.
Li Changlin rolled his eyes as his head is lowered, the others might fear the first prince but he has never paid him any regard, if not for his mother's warning then he wouldn't bother kneeling to apologise.
