However, he could not recommend or win over examiners himself, so the Fourth Prince decided to let his subordinates do it.
Bai Wanyi looked at the Fourth Prince's face and saw that he seemed to have made up his mind, so he started the next topic: "Now I see that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are living a carefree life. Don't you want to cause them some trouble?"
The Fourth Prince raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "What's the chaos?"
Bai Wanyi's eyes flashed with gloating: "Of course it's to send women to the East Palace! How can the prince only have one princess? Of course, he needs more women to give birth to his children, right?"
The Fourth Prince looked Bai Wanyi up and down and sneered, "I heard that the Marquis of Pingyang recently found a woman from the Chu House and treated her very well in the mansion. Are you trying to make the Crown Prince suffer just because you're not doing well yourself?"
"Of course, it's because she stole the man I wanted!" Bai Wanyi didn't hide her desire for the Crown Prince in front of the Fourth Prince. "It's only because I met the Crown Prince too late, otherwise, there would be no place for Qin Wan as the Crown Princess!"
"Oh." The Fourth Prince responded without much interest, "Then you can try your best."
"What do you mean?" Bai Wanyi raised her eyebrows and stared at the Fourth Prince in dissatisfaction.
The Fourth Prince was too lazy to argue with Bai Wanyi. He couldn't waste his time on this. He raised his hand to stop Bai Wanyi from speaking: "I have something else to do. You can leave first."
"you!"
Bai Wanyi didn't say a word before she was asked to leave by the servant beside the Fourth Prince. Standing outside the door, she stomped her feet angrily, but she didn't dare to make a fuss because the Fourth Prince would not let her do so. She could only leave angrily.
The Fourth Prince stayed alone for a while and decided to do as Bai Wanyi said. He sent someone to find Young Master Yu, hinting that the Yu family was now on the Fourth Prince's side and they should not stand on the wrong side.
Young Master Yu didn't say anything, but he did ask the Sixth Princess out for outings a few times, and the Fourth Prince was completely relieved.
However, even if Young Master Yu is sensible, Lord Yu is still the head of the Yu family, and Young Master Yu is just a person who conveys messages.
Although Xie Qing has asked Lord Yu to teach him again, he is now the regent and has very little time to study with Lord Yu, so Lord Yu spends more time in Wuying Palace editing books.
The Fourth Prince often went to Wuying Palace and begged Lord Yu to teach him.
Lord Yu was not willing to pay any attention to the Fourth Prince at all. He was now extremely satisfied with the Crown Prince, because although the Crown Prince was always busy, the Crown Prince had completed all the homework assigned to him seriously without leaving it to others.
And whenever he has time, he will have a long talk with Lord Yu. The prince has a good understanding and is dedicated to the people. Whether it is poetry, articles, or state governance strategies, he has his own unique insights.
Now that he was being pestered by the Fourth Prince, Lord Yu was very impatient. After a long time, he began to avoid him intentionally or unintentionally.
The Fourth Prince didn't notice it, why?
Because the homework assigned by Lord Yu was getting harder and harder, the Fourth Prince felt that Lord Yu valued him very much, otherwise why were the homework so difficult?
He had found out that the assignments Lord Yu gave to the prince were very simple, sometimes just composing a poem.
Does this mean that I also have the talent of an emperor?
The Fourth Prince was in high spirits and on the surface he still enjoyed reading. However, the humble and gentle Fourth Prince was increasingly making small moves behind the scenes.
As for the homework assigned by Lord Yu?
How could he write it himself?
All the assignments were written by his staff, and he would then read through and copy them. Sometimes, when he was too busy, he would even have someone else do the copying for him.
Where is the Fourth Prince's focus?
Naturally, they would try every possible means to arrange for officials to take the imperial examination next spring.
As for putting people in the Prince’s Eastern Palace?
Does he need to show up in person?
As long as the word gets out, there will be people who will send their daughters to the Eastern Palace.
Isn’t it?
Xie Qing was busy with government affairs and could not catch anyone, so a woman of noble birth brought her daughter into the palace to ask to see Qin Wan.
Qin Wan originally thought it was just an ordinary visit, but when she saw the gorgeously dressed girl, she understood and her smile deepened. "Madam Zhang, is there something important that brought you here today?"
Mrs. Zhang's husband is just a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel. Although he works under Lord Wu, he is the third prince's man.
Now the Third Prince has no intention of competing for the throne, and Lord Zhang is afraid that the Crown Prince will take revenge on him later. So, when they heard Lord Wu muttering that the Crown Prince has few people in the palace now and the Crown Princess is busy, the couple's minds became active.
Madam Zhang took her daughter's hand and walked her forward, smiling attentively: "This is our eldest daughter, the most sensible and gentle. Now that she is old, we are worried about her marriage, so we brought her to the Crown Princess to see."
Miss Zhang blushed as she bowed to Qin Wanying and said, "Your humble servant greets the Crown Princess."
The mother and daughter were humble and made their point clear - a girl of similar age waiting to be married will be brought to the Crown Princess for her to see, and you can decide if she is suitable to be a concubine or something like that.
Qin Wan cooperated and carefully examined Miss Zhang, nodding with satisfaction: "She is quite good-looking."
Madam Zhang immediately beamed with joy: "As long as the Crown Princess likes it, that's good. Then I will leave her by your side to serve you. Don't worry, she won't do anything that the Crown Princess doesn't like."
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she pushed Miss Zhang again.
Miss Zhang quickly stated, "This servant will serve the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness well."
Qin Wan didn't want to keep Miss Zhang, but then she thought, if things get resolved right away, they'll have to wait a while longer. So she nodded and gestured to Zigui to make arrangements: "Take Miss Zhang down to rest."
Zigui hesitated to speak, but seeing Qin Wan's gaze, she could only kneel down and agree. She turned to face Miss Zhang, and the smile on her face was a little forced: "Miss Zhang, please follow me."
"Thank you, sister." Miss Zhang followed Zigui away with joy.
Mrs. Zhang also hurriedly and tactfully took her leave, hoping that her daughter would do well and give birth to a son so that she could gain a foothold in the Eastern Palace!
When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, she will be considered the emperor's mother-in-law. If her daughter can do better...
I dare not think about it!
Madam Zhang ran out of the palace as fast as she could.
Those families who were still waiting to see whether to send their daughters to the palace also sent their daughters to the Eastern Palace after seeing that Madam Zhang had successfully kept her daughters in the Eastern Palace.
Qin Wan accepted almost everyone who came to her. In just two days, the Eastern Palace had accepted five beautiful girls.
Outside the palace, Bai Wanyi heard about this and went to find Lu Yan. When she talked about this, she doubled over with laughter: "She must be so angry now! Wait until the prince returns to the palace, and see how she makes trouble!"
