It was two days later that the Fourth Prince learned that Qin Qianqian was planning to hold a martial arts competition to win a hand in marriage.
He was still struggling with the materials in his hands when he saw his grandfather come in with his hands behind his back.
He was originally in a state of low spirits, but he immediately cheered up and pretended to be focused.
Ever since he got my grandfather drunk and ran away that day, my grandfather kept a very close eye on him, even having someone follow him when he went to the toilet.
"Okay, stop pretending." Old Mo walked up to him and said with a smile, "Do you want to go out? Your grandfather is in a good mood today. I heard that Qianqian is holding a martial arts competition to find a husband. Do you want to join in the fun?"
The Fourth Prince put down the materials in his hands and clapped his hands.
"Qin Qianqian is so worried about not being able to get married. She's really worried."
Mr. Mo looked at him disapprovingly, feeling a little puzzled.
Why can't this damn kid get his bearings?
"Didn't I give you a red envelope with banknotes during the Chinese New Year? Didn't you give it to Qianqian?"
The fourth prince shook his head and recounted what happened during the New Year.
"Why are you so..." Old Mo glared at the Fourth Prince with a look of dismay, "Forget it, go to the Qin family now."
He said that he was not wrong, that Qianqian must like this brat, and that he was doing this to force the brat to surrender.
"I'm not going," the Fourth Prince picked up the materials on the ground again, "She's not stupid, she must be doing it for fun, don't worry about it."
If the Qin family lets her do whatever she wants, then nothing will happen.
"You don't like Qianqian?"
Mo Lao snatched the materials from his hand and said, "Why are you so stubborn, kid? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
The Fourth Prince sat on the ground and comforted Mr. Mo with a smile.
"Grandpa, don't worry about her. She's really fine."
As the two were talking, Tao Ye, who was beside Concubine Shu, came in, bowed to Mr. Mo, and said:
"Your Highness, the Queen asks you to come into the palace with me now."
The Fourth Prince stood up and patted his clothes. "Did Mother say anything?"
Could it be that he was asked to enter the palace to inspect his recent learning results?
It’s over, it’s over. He has been slacking off and will definitely not escape his mother’s assessment.
"Well, wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes and then follow you into the palace."
He needs to change into thicker clothes so that it will lessen the pain when he is beaten.
…
The Fourth Prince quickly changed his clothes and came back, saying to Tao Ye, "Let's go."
Elder Mo looked at the Fourth Prince's thicker waist and asked, "Are you cold?"
Wearing so many layers, I would have thought it was winter.
I don’t know why my daughter let this brat into the palace.
The Fourth Prince forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Grandfather. I'll be leaving first."
After getting on the carriage, the Fourth Prince wanted to ask Tao Ye something, but when he remembered that he had never gotten any useful information before, he gave up the idea.
When the enemy comes, we will fight him with soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth!
"Your Highness, are you hot?"
Afeng looked at the Fourth Prince and considerately lifted the curtain to let in the air.
"Put down your curtain. I'm not hot." The fourth prince said insincerely and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Then I'll put it down," Afeng lowered the curtain. "You're not hot, so why are you sweating? I understand. Your Highness, you're sweating because you're afraid of the Empress."
The Fourth Prince: “…”
He glared at A Feng and said, "I've noticed that you're becoming less and less able to speak. If you keep talking like this, how can you possibly get married?"
A Feng didn't say it, but he thought in his heart, "His Highness can't even get married himself, yet he has the nerve to talk about him."
The carriage slowly drove to the palace gate. The Fourth Prince and Afeng got off the carriage and followed Tao Ye to Concubine Shu's bedroom.
Concubine Shu has been addicted to playing mahjong with Concubine De and others recently. Today, when she heard that the Qin family was going to hold a martial arts competition to win a husband, she wanted to see the reaction of her unenlightened son.
"Your son greets your mother."
The Fourth Prince cautiously walked up to Concubine Shu and bowed, but he couldn't help but secretly look around the bedroom to see if there was any material.
Concubine Shu was leaning on the chaise longue. When she heard the voice, she looked up at the Fourth Prince. Seeing that he was dressed as if for winter, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Is it so cold outside? You're wearing so many clothes. I wouldn't have thought you had no clothes at all."
The Fourth Prince lowered his eyes and glanced at his clothes. He felt that they were fine, as he had just put on a few more layers underneath.
"I don't know why, but I feel a little cold today." He lied.
"Go take off the extra clothes," Concubine Shu rubbed her temples. "It makes me feel uncomfortable just looking at you. You have no shame, but I still want some."
His forehead was still sweating, but he told her he had a cold. His ability to lie with his eyes open had improved a lot.
The Fourth Prince took his time to take off his extra clothes and felt his whole body relaxed a lot.
"Mother, is there something you want me to do?"
Returning to Concubine Shu, the Fourth Prince asked softly.
But in my heart I was silently praying that this must not be a test on him, otherwise he would be really finished.
Seeing that he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, Concubine Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "You and that girl from the Qin family are childhood sweethearts after all. What do you think of her holding a martial arts competition to win her hand in marriage?"
The Fourth Prince first breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes widened.
How come my mother is the same as my grandfather?
How could he not know Qin Qianqian's personality? There was no way this thing would succeed.
"Mother, Qin Qianqian's plan will definitely not work out, and I don't have any plans."
Could it be that my son really didn't like that girl? He didn't seem to be lying.
"Okay, I don't have anything else to do. If you want to go and see it, you can go and see it. Your other brothers should also be there to watch the fun."
The Fourth Prince, who originally didn't want to go, was delighted and asked, "Is Luo'er here too?"
He hasn't learned anything recently, but he did prepare a gift for Luo'er.
He owed Luo'er a gift when she was one month old, so it shouldn't be too late to give it to her now.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken him there. If you want to see Luo'er, go ahead."
Concubine Shu was very happy about this. If her son could please Luo'er, she would be more likely to let Luo'er learn mechanical engineering in the future.
…
The commotion caused by Qin Qianqian and the Sixth Princess was quite big, and the preliminary election had already started today.
Because of Lord Qin's title as the Minister of Justice, quite a few people came to participate. Many people knew that Qin Qianqian was not the kind of person who could manage the backyard well, but they could not stand Lord Qin's official position.
Looking at the crowd of people below, Qin Qianqian retreated into the house.
“There are too many people.”
The Sixth Princess gestured for her to calm down and poured her a cup of tea.
"That's what we want, to put some pressure on our fourth brother, so that he won't be unaware of your kindness."
Qin Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "That's true, but I think I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The usually calm Sixth Princess became restless after hearing this. How come the Crown Prince is here too?
"Where is the Crown Prince?"
She pretended to find a place to hide, but she saw the prince coming to the door.
