Zhou Yunshen's eyes gradually turned cold, and under the cover of night, the light emanating from his pupils was particularly strange.

The Fourth Prince clearly sensed something was wrong.

But he is so beautiful!

Beautiful and powerful, it is perfect from any angle.

The air around him was different from that around others. It was a mixture of sweetness and coolness, smelling better than any spice.

Even the slight hostility in his eyes made the Fourth Prince feel extremely pleased.

"My Lord, Xiao Si has a lot to say to you and a lot of questions to ask. My Lord, do you have time?"

The fourth prince was rather thin and looked somewhat pitiful in the dark.

If it were in the past, Zhou Yunshen could always see the shadows of his own children in him, and his heart would inevitably be touched.

Now that I know how sinister the Fourth Prince is, I feel differently.

Zhou Yunshen said calmly, "Your Highness, you know a lot has been going on lately. Not only are the court holding consecutive military and civil selections, but the Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and the Emperor is planning to reform the Ministry of War. I've been incredibly busy right now."

"Yes, it seems that after you got married, there have been more things to do in the court."

The Fourth Prince showed a look of loss and sighed softly.

But he was happy in his heart. Zhou Yunshen was willing to mention the affairs of the Ministry of War, which proved that he did not treat him as an outsider.

Zhou Yunshen felt uncomfortable listening to his words.

What do you mean by "more things happened after he got married"? Wouldn't these things have happened if he hadn't gotten married?

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Zhou Yunshen's tone.

"There are already a lot of things to do, and now Miss Lan wants it all. Things keep popping up every few days, which is really difficult to handle."

"It's fine if the days are short, but if they are long, who can bear it?"

"Miss Lan was recommended by His Highness. If it's convenient, please persuade her to finish one thing first. It's good to want to make progress together, but you also have to consider the manpower and funding. It's too tiring."

Zhou Yunshen sighed, and his beautiful face showed fatigue.

The Fourth Prince's heart instantly became agitated. He stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yunshen's hand. "No, she was recommended by the Second Prince. The Second Prince said that it was inconvenient for him to speak, so he asked me... who knows..."

"If I had known she would make you work so hard, I wouldn't have introduced her to you no matter what!"

Zhou Yunshen felt a stinging and uncomfortable sensation in his palms.

But he saw that the Fourth Prince was such a good actor, so as an elder, how could he lose?

Zhou Yunshen also held his hand. The Fourth Prince held his breath, his heart pounding wildly.

Holding hands, holding hands, the Marquis of Zhennan is willing to hold his hand!

The fourth prince's eyes widened.

Zhou Yunshen sneered in his heart, you sinister boy, even your brain short-circuits sometimes!

"Your Highness, please don't say that. This is a matter of great importance, and you are also thinking about the court. I just hope that you can remind Miss Lan when she is too radical."

"According to her, she's not from our world and is unfamiliar with our rules. You need to help her."

The Fourth Prince nodded repeatedly and presented a purse with both hands.

"These are some little gadgets that were sent as tribute from Jiangnan a few days ago. I got one and asked the imperial physician to put some insect repellent herbs in it. You travel a lot all year round, so this is perfect for you."

"Thank you, Fourth Prince. I would be very sorry to refuse!"

Zhou Yunshen couldn't tear his face off with the Fourth Prince right now, so he took the item and put it in his arms: "If your Highness has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

"Take care, my Lord. Come visit us often when you have time."

Zhou Yunshen mounted his horse and immediately left the palace and headed straight for the marquis's mansion.

The Fourth Prince folded his hands, suppressed his excitement and returned to his bedroom.

He had not yet established his own residence, so he could only live in the palace for the time being.

After closing the door, he smelled the lingering fragrance on his hands, and his whole body was trembling with ecstasy.

"Uncle, I really like you..."
