Days of Conquest in the Imperial Palace

Zhu Mian wakes up to find that he has transmigrated to the Great Zhou dynasty and become the emperor's youngest son, the sixth prince.

All the princes above him are his older brothers. His full brother, born of the same mother, is the eldest prince, who has already become crown prince. Though they were both born to the empress, their temperaments are completely different.

Zhu Mian pushes the long hair off his face. He can't get his shoes on properly, and his loose robe is a mess, but he runs barefoot to the Eastern Palace to see if that really is his brother.

As it happens, the crown prince is just coming out of the hall. Before Zhu Mian can get a good look at his face, he runs straight into the crown prince's arms, reddening his forehead.

Zhu Mian is just about to rejoice when he looks up and sees that the crown prince doesn't look like his brother at all. He's stunned.

At the same time, an impatient man's voice rings out above him: "How much longer are you going to hug me like this?"

Zhu Mian understands at once: in this world, his own brother hates him.

And Zhu Mian has guessed right. The crown prince dislikes this younger brother, thinking him ungrateful and incapable of telling good people from bad. He always acts obedient in front of their father and mother, but treats the servants badly and bosses his older brother around. So naturally, the crown prince doesn't welcome the person in his arms.

But Zhu Mian has transmigrated in his entirety. He's come to this dynasty as himself. The former sixth prince only looked about seventy percent like his sister, while Zhu Mian himself is a perfect match.

His build and face are both different.

The younger one lowers his head timidly, afraid the crown prince will discover that he isn't the original younger brother. Uncertainly, he shifts his dirty feet.

The gleaming jade-white skin is stained with dirt, and the crown prince suddenly finds it glaring.

The crown prince grips his chin and makes him look up, narrowing his eyes as he says mockingly, "Since when did you put a beauty mark under your eye? Why do you look a little more pleasing today?"

Zhu Mian has always been cherished by his older brother. He's never been mocked like this, and his eyes redden with anger. He kicks the crown prince and wipes his foot on the man's robe.

The people nearby drop to their knees in terror. The former sixth prince may have been a spoiled brat who often clashed with the crown prince, but when had he ever dared treat him like that?

It's over! Is the crown prince going to chop the sixth prince into mince?

But the crown prince actually laughs. His expression is sinister, but he doesn't seem all that angry.

Only after kicking him does Zhu Mian realize that this is the crown prince. Is he going to get killed?

But the next moment, the crown prince tucks him under one arm and carries him inside. The man's words are wild, too: "Did you have your bones shaved or your legs chopped off? How did you get so thin?"

Zhu Mian: ?!! Brother, where are you? Come save me, waah! X﹏X

Meanwhile, the real Zhu Mian's brother, Zhu Huai, is struggling to swallow medicine at the prime minister's residence, while asking around to see if any family has a child named Zhu Mian.

The old prime minister: "? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Why are you calling the sixth prince by his name!"

Brother: "? Why has my baby become somebody else's little brother!!!"
