He Xue knew the Crown Prince probably couldn't accept it. She had already kindly tried to persuade him, but the Crown Prince was just too curious! Alas, curiosity killed the cat.

"Brother Crown Prince, don't think about it. Drawing is just something for people to amuse themselves. You don't need to take it too seriously!"

The Crown Prince suddenly thought of something even more shocking than Suo'etu and Mingzhu: his father had taken He Xue's sketchbook. Could it be that his father was also looking at these sketchbooks?

The Crown Prince had already imagined a scene: Kangxi was lying on his bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After the lights were turned off, Kangxi quickly opened his eyes, took out the sketchbook he had secretly hidden under the bed, and began to read it with great interest while lying under the covers.

The crown prince felt he couldn't think about it any further; if he did, everyone's understanding of the world would be overturned.

Seeing the Crown Prince's face, which resembled a palette of colors, He Xue knew he must have imagined a lot, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Crown Prince looked at He Xue, the culprit, who was still laughing heartlessly. He couldn't bear to blame He Xue and could only shake his head helplessly.

"He Xue, let's read some other books from now on!" the Crown Prince suggested.

“Brother Crown Prince, other books are too dry and boring. Picture books are much more attractive. Besides, you don’t have to know all the books. Just remember the most amazing sentences. If you can say a sentence or two at the right time, no one will look down on you!” He Xue said seriously.

"Tell me what you've been reading lately? And what have you memorized?" the prince asked.

He Xue hasn't been reading lately, but that doesn't stop her, since she studied for over ten years in modern times.

"Hengqu's four lines: 'To establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the past sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations.'" When He Xue first read these four lines, she was truly amazed.

These four sentences best embody a person's sense of responsibility and mission towards the country and society; they are concise yet profound.

It can be said that the "Four Sentences of Zhang Zai" are the pinnacle of human spirit, equivalent to a spiritual compass. No matter where one is, everyone can relate to them, and they possess a very strong national cohesive force.

"These are words from 'Hengqu Yulu' written by Zhang Zai of the Northern Song Dynasty," the Crown Prince said. "Does 'Hengqu's Four Sentences' mean that you've memorized these four sentences from this book?"

“Brother Crown Prince, it’s not about how much you say, but how concise and meaningful it is!” He Xue said.

“You always have a bunch of reasons!” the prince said with a smile.

Inside Chengqian Palace, the Imperial Noble Consort asked incredulously, "Cousin, what did you say?"

Kangxi knew he was in the wrong, but for the sake of the Crown Prince, he wouldn't do it without resorting to violence. "Qingyao, calm down and listen to me!"

"Cousin, how can I calm down? You actually left He Xue in Yuqing Palace! Why didn't you lock them both in the same room!"

"Isn't this too fast? It's better to proceed gradually!"

The Imperial Noble Consort was amused by Kangxi's words, "It seems Your Majesty really has such a plan!"

Seeing the Imperial Noble Consort's gloomy face, Kangxi quickly said, "How could that be! Am I that kind of person?"

"Qingyao, I intend to arrange a marriage between the Crown Prince and Hexue, to let them develop their relationship! I've put a lot of thought into it!"

"Cousin, I have a question, and I hope you will answer it truthfully!" the Imperial Noble Consort said solemnly.

"Alright, go ahead and tell me, I certainly won't hide anything!" Kangxi assured him.

Inside a palace, a young eunuch said to the person in the room whose back was to him, "My lord, this is a message from Yuqing Palace!"

"Give it to me!" The man turned around, took the slip of paper handed to him by the eunuch, looked at its contents, and said with a sneer, "As expected of the Crown Prince, he is indeed treated differently from others! It seems that the Emperor is also anxious about the Crown Prince's marriage!"

He didn't want the Crown Prince to be in the mood for romance; it was time to give him some trouble.
