For example, the emperor was in a good mood when he was with the little princess.

"Is Luo'er here?" The Fourth Prince knew that he could not escape, so he could only place his hopes on Yu Yiluo.

With Luo'er around, the emperor probably won't be too angry, and a few words of reprimand won't matter.

No, it doesn’t matter if I get beaten. That way I don’t have to go to class.

Thinking of this, the fear in the Fourth Prince's heart disappeared completely.

"The little princess is here." Eunuch Cao looked at the silly and happy Fourth Prince, wondering why he was so happy now when he had clearly looked reluctant to come just now.

Neither of them spoke anymore and went straight into the Qingxin Hall.

The emperor held Yu Yiluo in one hand and held a cup of tea in the other. He put down the tea when he saw the Fourth Prince come in.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."

After the Fourth Prince finished speaking, he knelt on the ground without saying a word. Seeing that the Emperor was slow to speak, he felt a little confused. Didn’t he hear it?

Just as he was about to say it again, the emperor's voice rang out.

"Tell me, what have you done these past two days?" The emperor stared at the fourth prince for a moment, crumpled up his homework and threw it in front of him.

"This handwriting is worse than that of a child. I feel like my eyes are polluted just looking at it."

The Fourth Prince picked up his homework and said, "Father, I am no longer able to practice calligraphy. I can't do it any more. And this is not my fault. The teacher taught me things I am not good at."

The emperor rubbed his temples and laughed out loud. "Then you are not good at many things. You are not good at literature or martial arts. Tell me what you are good at."

"The tyrant's words really hurt my heart, but why is Fourth Brother so brave today? There's a fearlessness in his words."

I see. He must be trying to provoke the tyrant and get him to beat him so hard he can't get out of bed. That way, he can skip classes. I was wondering why he was so tough! So he came up with this ruthless trick.

The Fourth Prince: “…”

Luo'er is really a little smart kid, you can tell from this.

"Your Majesty, I am good at riding horses."

"Being able to ride a horse is considered good?" The emperor suppressed his anger. "I think you are a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved, and mud that cannot be propped up against the wall. You can't learn anything well."

[Hahaha, just call it three hundred and sixty trades, and learn to break defenses in every trade. Luckily, I can drink milk, so I won't have any trouble with this.]

"Your Majesty is right," the Fourth Prince said seriously, "I really can't learn anything well. I'm just a piece of rotten wood and mud. So, Your Majesty, could you please allow me to stop going to school?"

He thought the emperor would get angry and beat him up after he finished speaking, but the emperor didn't agree with him. "Since you know you are useless, you should learn more from your brothers. I arranged for you to live together so that you can ask questions."

【Actually, the Fourth Brother isn't completely useless.】

The Fourth Prince pricked up his ears. Is Luo'er finally going to praise him?

[For example, he has decent looks and a good temper. Other princes who were not valued like him might have turned evil long ago, but he didn't. He still has a clear understanding of himself.]

emperor:"……"

Isn’t this still not good enough?

The Fourth Prince: “…”

It’s better not to say what you are expecting.

"Okay, go back!"

…

After returning to the side hall where he lived, the Fourth Prince had dinner and called Afeng over.

"Go and call Doctor Lin over now."

A Feng gave him a strange look, "Your Highness, you haven't been beaten, why do you need the imperial physician?"

"Just go if you're told to. Just say I'm sick. Go quickly."

If the emperor doesn't beat him, can't he just pretend to be sick?

As if knowing his plan, Afeng shook his head and left.

It happened that Doctor Lin was on duty today, and he quickly invited the person over.

"Meet the Fourth Prince."

After paying his respects, Imperial Physician Lin noticed that the Fourth Prince's face was rosy, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, your face is rosy, not like your body..."

The Fourth Prince stood up from his chair and grabbed Doctor Lin's sleeve, "Doctor Lin, you are the imperial physician. If you say I am sick, then I am sick."

"But Your Highness, you are not sick!"

Usually, concubines pretend to be sick to win favor, so how come even the Fourth Prince does it?

"No, I am sick," the Fourth Prince said, feeling that what he said was strange.

"No, you're not sick."

Doctor Lin picked up the medicine box and said, "Your Highness, I have to return to the Imperial Hospital to take up my duties. I cannot help you with your feigned illness. This is deceiving the Emperor."

Looking at the back of Doctor Lin who was running faster than a rabbit, the Fourth Prince sat back in his chair in frustration.

"Your Highness, please stop making such a fuss. Just go to school. The other princes also go to school."

"That's easy for you to say," the Fourth Prince held out his blistered hand. "Those teachers were watching me. I thought I could just sleep it off, but they wouldn't let me."

He was not allowed to sleep and did not want to attend the class, so he could only play with the pen, which ended up hitting Li Yunhe.

But this guy didn't complain like those old guys, which was strange.

"It's because of your poor performance, Your Highness. I feel that those teachers and the Emperor are the ones being tortured by you."

The Fourth Prince glanced at him sideways, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He smiled and said, "Why don't you beat me up?"

"Your Highness, do you think you don't have to go to school? I advise you to give up!"

…

The next day.

It was rare for Yu Yiluo to sleep until she woke up naturally.

[Today is a good day. I wasn't brought to court. The tyrant must have felt guilty.]

Just as I yawned, I heard the emperor's familiar voice.

"I asked Eunuch Cao to bring the ladies-in-waiting here. Concubine Xian, please pick two and go to the General's Mansion!"

If she chooses someone directly, there will inevitably be suspicion that she is planting spies in the general's mansion, so it is more appropriate for Concubine Xian to choose someone herself.

[Good fellow, it's true that when you mention Cao Cao, he appears. Watch me pretend to be asleep for a second. Tyrant, please don't carry me to the imperial study.]

Yu Yiluo quickly closed her eyes.

Empress Xian was a little amused and helpless, but she didn't expose her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Eunuch Cao brought the people in, Empress Xian looked at them and finally picked out two who were more honest and decent.

"From now on, you two will do your best to take care of the General's Mansion. If you dare to steal things from the General's Mansion like that Jiang, I will not tolerate it."

After beating the two men, the emperor asked Eunuch Cao to take them to the general's mansion, then stood up and glanced at Yu Yiluo who was pretending to sleep on the couch.

"Today is the day the Jiang family is exiled. I originally planned to take Luo'er out of the palace to see her, but she is still sleeping."

Yu Yiluo opened her eyes quickly upon hearing this.

【Ahhh, how can I be absent from such a lively atmosphere?】

The emperor was pleased, knowing that Luo'er liked the hustle and bustle.

[No, if I do this, my mother and the tyrant won't notice I'm awake. I need to cry.]

In an instant, the loud cry of a baby was heard, and Empress Xian stood up and hugged her.

"The little princess must be hungry. I'll go get some hot milk." Nanny Zhang brought the milk and handed it to Concubine Xian.

"This is the first time I've seen the little princess cry."

"Luo'er is awake," the emperor came over and raised his hand to pinch her little face, wiping away her tears. "Don't cry, you've cried like a little cat. It's not like your father won't take you out."
