Anyway, he was already broke, so he wasn't afraid of people laughing at him!
The next day.
Since it was impossible for all the officials in the court to take leave on the same day to attend the full-month banquet for the two little imperial grandsons, the Third Prince had deliberately scheduled the banquet for the evening.
This would allow the lords of various estates to free up time, and as for the female family members, those who had leisure arrived at the Third Prince's Estate early. After all, because of the birth of these two little imperial grandsons, His Majesty had lifted the Third Prince's house arrest, and returning to the imperial court was only a matter of time.
After the Su Family's rebellion, the Third Prince had still managed to escape unscathed, which inevitably made interested parties suspect that Emperor Hengwu was actually still dissatisfied with the Second Prince.
Yet whatever the truth might be, people could only guess to themselves; it was utterly impossible to bring it out into the open. Therefore, overtly and covertly, it became a matter of course for the madams of various households to cultivate ties with the Third Prince!
After all, with Chancellor Su having fallen from power, didn't the Third Prince still have a father-in-law who was the Grand Tutor of the Imperial Court?
