Prince Dai, who was beside, heard this and unceremoniously mocked the Crown Prince. He said the Crown Prince boasts of his abundant talents, yet Mr. Meng doesn't even want to see him, while their tenth brother, who isn't even bright at reading, did get to see him.
The Crown Prince was not angry; instead, he praised the things Zhao Yao did, which benefitted the country and the people. He also said that Mr. Meng cares for the common people, so it's normal for him to see Zhao Yao.
Following the Crown Prince's words, Prince Dai also praised Zhao Yao, saying that Zhao Yao, at a young age, had done many things to benefit the people, whereas the Crown Prince, as the heir to Great Zhou, had not done anything for its people.
