The Eldest Prince had spent much of his childhood living on the outskirts of the kingdom, only returning to the capital at the King's summons when he was nearly thirty years old. It was then that he was given a Princess Consort.
Zhou Huaijin had little opportunity to interact with the Eldest Prince when he was younger, and as a result, knew very little about him. However, after his return to the capital, Zhou Huaijin had spent some time in his company.
Zhou Huaijin's impression of the Eldest Prince was that he was like a walking corpse, devoid of any real emotions. He always seemed weak and frightened, as if constantly worried about being killed or executed.
Zhou Huaijin had witnessed the Eldest Prince's joy at the birth of his first child, but it paled in comparison to the sheer elation he displayed now.
Today was likely the first time in his life that the Eldest Prince had allowed himself to express his emotions so freely.
