After the family dinner, the Fourth Prince returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion without stopping.
He breathed a sigh of relief after getting off the carriage.
"Phew, I finally caught up."
Qin Qianqian would send him a red envelope every year. If he missed it, she would probably be angry again.
"Your Highness, are you sure Miss Qin will come this year?"
The Fourth Prince glanced at A Feng and said, "Why not? Just watch!"
The two of them waited in silence for an hour. Ah Feng yawned and said, "Your Highness, why don't you stop waiting? It's already been an hour. In previous years, Miss Qin would have been here by this time."
The Fourth Prince did not give up and still stood at the door, but there was no sign of Qin Qianqian.
Didn’t I talk to him at Fengyue Tower? Could it be that he is still angry?
"Maybe he was stuck on something else. Wait a moment."
"What's the point of waiting any longer? Miss Qin must be really angry this time."
…
On the other side, Qin Qianqian planned to return to the yard after dinner.
Lord Qin and Madam Qin looked at each other and asked, "Qianqian, you're not going out tonight?"
Every year, after having dinner with them, my daughter would run to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Why didn't she show any intention of leaving today? This time, they had a long quarrel.
"No," Qin Qianqian walked towards the door, "It's too cold outside, my daughter will go back to the house first."
After returning to her yard, Qin Qianqian began to walk around the house.
"Oh, please stop turning. It makes me dizzy just looking at you."
Mrs. Qin walked in, held Qin Qianqian down and asked her to sit down.
"If you want to see the Fourth Prince, then go ahead. There's no point in dwelling on yourselves here."
Qin Qianqian pinched the red seal in her sleeve and said stubbornly, "No, no one wants to see him."
Every time they have a quarrel, she shows weakness. She has dignity, okay?
No, I can't give in this time no matter what.
It was clearly the Fourth Prince's fault, and he would never give in.
"Yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Qin knew her daughter was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so she changed her words, "Then why don't you meet? I heard there's a lantern riddle game and acrobatics going on outside, it's very lively, you can go with the princess."
Qin Qianqian thought about it and it made sense. She stood up and left the house with her maid.
Although she is not good at guessing riddles, with Sister Xue around, she is sure that nothing can stump her.
…
The Fourth Prince finally made the decision to go find Qin Qianqian.
He thought about it and felt that he had really gone too far.
As he put on his cloak and walked out of the house, he saw the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince getting off the carriage.
"Where are you going, Fourth Brother?" The Second Prince looked at him. "Are you going out?"
The Fourth Prince stuffed the red seal in his hand into his sleeve and said with a smile, "I was just planning to go shopping with some of my brothers."
He didn't want to tell them that he was going to find Qin Qianqian, otherwise the second prince would definitely laugh at him.
"That's great, get in the carriage!"
The Fourth Prince's little thoughts were visible to the few people. They saw through it but did not say anything and got on the carriage.
There were two carriages in total, and the Fourth Prince was forced to share one with the Second Prince.
When they arrived at the busy street, the Fourth Prince got off the carriage and followed a few people absent-mindedly, wondering what would happen if Qin Qianqian went to look for him but didn't meet him.
It would be better for him to go back. He is not good at guessing riddles anyway.
"Fourth brother, what are you dawdling about in the back?" The Crown Prince turned and looked at the Fourth Prince. "There's a lantern riddle game up ahead. Let's go take a look."
The Fourth Prince followed a few people and was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice.
"Sister Xue is so amazing."
If this isn’t Qin Qianqian, then who else could it be?
He looked around and immediately noticed Qin Qianqian, who was wearing a blue cloak and standing in front of the beautiful lantern with a smile on her face, applauding Mu Xue.
As they approached, the Third Prince also noticed Mu Xue.
Wearing a red cloak, she stood in front of various colorful lanterns. The warm yellow lanterns reflected on her cold face, making her cold expression soften a lot.
"Congratulations to this girl for guessing all the riddles and winning this lantern."
Mu Xue curled her lips slightly as she took the lantern, and noticed the Third Prince and his companions out of the corner of her eye.
"Cousin, what a coincidence, are you guessing lantern riddles?"
"Cousins, are you here to guess the riddles too?" Knowing that they did not want to reveal their identities, Mu Xue did not call them Your Highness.
The prince stared at the rabbit lantern in Mu Xue's hand. Hearing this, he smiled and asked the lantern vendor, "Boss, are you still selling this lantern?"
It’s too cold outside, and my father doesn’t let Luo’er go out. This lantern is so beautiful, Luo’er will be very happy if I give it to her!
"Sir, the lantern is the prize for guessing the lantern riddles. There is only one, and it is now in the hands of this young lady."
The prince knew it was not good to take away someone's love, so he continued to ask, "Is this lantern for sale?"
"No," the boss said proudly. "This lantern was made by my wife. We only made one. No one else can make such a lifelike rabbit lantern."
The Fourth Prince looked puzzled. How could his Crown Prince, a grown man, like lanterns?
Qin Qianqian looked displeased the moment she saw the Fourth Prince.
Even after going out, he didn't come to look for her, and when he saw her, he pretended not to see her.
…
A few people walked away from the lantern riddle guessing area and went to a place with fewer people.
"Your Highness, if you like this lantern, you can take it!"
Mu Xue handed the lantern to the prince.
The prince asked so many questions just now, it seems that she likes this lantern very much. She was brought out by Qin Qianqian to join in the fun, so it can't be said that she can't put this lantern down.
"Cousin, how about giving this lantern to my third brother? He likes it."
The second prince tried his best to wink at the crown prince. Why did the crown prince want to join in the fun?
The third prince was stunned for a moment when he was called. The second prince has been particularly keen on bringing him and the princess together recently.
He was very confused at first, but after listening to Luo'er's thoughts, he understood.
The second prince has someone he likes, and Concubine De wants the princess to marry him, so in order to avoid marrying the princess, he tried to match himself with the princess.
Recovering his thoughts, the Third Prince raised his hand to cover his lips and cleared his throat, "Crown Prince, I think you want to bring it back to Luo'er."
The second prince and the fourth prince looked at each other and thought that it was the Crown Prince who had the most ideas. No wonder Luo'er had the least tricks up on him.
"Since the little princess likes it, the prince can give it to her!"
The prince thanked him and took the lantern. "Why don't we all find a place to sit?"
Qin Qianqian took Mu Xue's arm and followed behind the Crown Prince and his companions, her eyes almost staring through the Fourth Prince.
Several people walked to a simple tea stall next to a small vendor and sat down. Qin Qianqian poured the tea and drank it down, then glared at the Fourth Prince again.
The Fourth Prince touched his nose and said nothing.
"Fourth brother, didn't I see you seal two red envelopes? You only sent one out, where's the other one?"
The second prince poured a cup of tea, glanced at the fourth prince and Qin Qianqian, and asked casually.
Hope flashed in Qin Qianqian's eyes as she waited for the Fourth Prince's answer.
The Fourth Prince thought the Second Prince was going to tease him again, so he said, "You're mistaken."
