When Bao Er heard the voice of the Tenth Prince, he woke up instantly, pushed Yinzhen and said, "I'll go back first," and then turned around and ran back home.
Yinzhen, who was now standing there, looked at Baoer's back as she fled in panic. He knew that Baoer was shy. After all, she had always been a cute and shy girl.
So she just smiled gently, then bit her lower lip and licked it, as if savoring the sweetness just now.
…
Baoer ran to her yard with red cheeks and bumped into Qingchuan who was about to leave the room.
"Baoer, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red, and your mouth... Oh, did you do something bad?" Qingchuan said teasingly with a wink.
Baoer only felt her face getting hotter. "Sister..."
"Bao'er, you're done. Not only are you in a premature relationship, but now you're even kissing someone. Is it the Ninth Prince or the Tenth Prince?"
Baoer didn't want to be teased by her sister, so she pretended to be normal and said, "I just kissed my boyfriend. It's normal, okay? Who doesn't kiss when they are in love? If you meet a boy you like, it's up to you to kiss him or not."
Qingchuan saw that she still dared to say that to herself, "I don't have any man I like right now, so I don't know either."
"Then cousin, if you really meet the Fourth Master, will you like him?" After all, Baoer knew that her sister was obsessed with the future Yongzheng in modern times, and she was afraid that she would turn this obsession into love, which would be terrible.
"Cousin, you should know that he already has a wife and a concubine, and there are many concubines in the mansion, you can't be confused."
Qingchuan just smiled and said, "What do you know, little kid? I just like his diligence in history and I admire him as an idol. After all, I am a new woman of the new era. How can I share a husband with someone else? You think too much."
Bao Er heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her say that, and then gossiped to Qing Chuan, "Oh, that's good, sister, you know, the first time I saw the Fourth Master in the palace, I felt like I saw the orange cat next door to my house. You don't know, they really look alike."
"I think I'll have to laugh again if I see it next time," Baoer said, laughing so hard
“Is this true?”
Qingchuan was a little skeptical after hearing Baoer's words, but she knew that Baoer had no reason to lie to her.
"Also, I don't think the Fourth Master is an upright and honest person at all. You don't know, Yinzhen told me..."
Then Baoer told Qingchuan about how arrogant the Fourth Prince was when he was a child, even as he was the adopted son of the Queen, and how he often taught his brothers a lesson by taking advantage of his elder brother's status. He also told Qingchuan about how the Fourth Prince was narrow-minded, and because the Ninth Prince cut his dog's hair, he cut the Ninth Prince's hair, causing the Ninth Prince to be taught a lesson by the Emperor.
Although there is some exaggeration on Yin'er's part, it may not be untrue.
It was only because Empress Xiaoyi was gone and she had no backing that she gradually became less arrogant. She was even reprimanded by the Emperor many times because Concubine De disliked her.
He became gloomy. He said he had no expression on his face, but to Baoer, he was gloomy.
Coupled with Baoer's impression of him, she felt that he was deep-minded.
"So don't look at how filial he pretends to be in front of the emperor, I just feel that he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
The more Qingchuan listened, the more silent he became. "Bao'er, don't judge a person with your own subjective opinions. That's unfair. If I could really meet him, I would slowly discover it myself."
"Oh, but I really think he's a bit gloomy and scary just looking at him." Baoer said all that mainly because she didn't want her cousin to have much affection for the Fourth Prince, at least not to like him. After all, she really felt that the Fourth Prince was dangerous and somewhat unpleasant. She was afraid that her cousin would be hurt by him.
At least when Bao Er had to choose between the Fourth Prince and the Ninth Prince, she still preferred the Ninth Prince. At least he was handsome and gentle to her.
This is her ideal type. Even the Tenth Prince is much more likable than the Fourth Prince. He is so cute and adorable that people just want to rub him when they see him.
The thought of spending her whole life with a man who had a sour face all day long made Baoer feel suffocated.
Qingchuan also knew that Baoer said these things from her own perspective and for her own benefit, but she was still young and could not judge people accurately, and what she said was all what she heard from the Ninth Prince.
"Baoer, you know me. If I have a chance, I still want to go back, so I can't fall in love with anyone here."
Baoer was silent when she heard this. Yes, although she was reluctant to leave her parents, her parents were still taken care of by the original owner of her body. But her cousin was wearing her own body, so she must be worried about her mother.
Baoer said helplessly, "But what if I can't go back?"
Qingchuan was helpless, this was what he had always feared, "I don't know either, I guess I can only stay here with you, my sister."
Thinking back to how the Ninth Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Tenth Prince were all on the same side in history, and had always been at odds with the Fourth Prince, she hoped they wouldn't end up like they did in history. If the Fourth Prince still ascended the throne, what would happen to her silly sister?
"Bao'er, listen to me. Before you marry the Ninth and Tenth Princes, you must protect yourself. Do you understand what I mean? I don't want you to get hurt."
Baoer was touched and said, "Cousin, I know, the most we do is kiss and hug, I'm not that open-minded."
"That's good. You also know that in history, ninety-two princes were members of the Eighth Prince's party. How miserable were their endings? You'd better persuade them to stay away from the Eighth Prince, live their own lives well, and not get involved in the fight for the throne."
"Cousin, I know they are very smart, and they have slowly gotten off the Eighth Prince's boat."
Then Baoer told Qingchuan about what the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince had said about how the Eighth Prince had badly betrayed Yinzhen.
"Cousin, you don't know, Yinzhen even contradicted his own mother for the sake of the Eighth Prince. Fortunately, Yinzhen reminded him a few days ago, otherwise, I don't know how badly Yinzhen would have been hurt by his good Eighth Prince."
Qingchuan sneered, "Of course it's very miserable. After all, in history, without the money bag of the Ninth Prince, how could the Eighth Prince win over nearly half of the ministers in the court? There is also the influence of the Tenth Prince's mother's family. Although I don't deny the Eighth Prince's ability, if it weren't for the Ninety-two Princes, it would definitely not be so easy for the Eighth Prince to win the throne."
Bao Er said thankfully, "Fortunately, Yinzhen has already stayed away from them. I think as long as they don't get involved, they will definitely have a good ending."
"At least the fight for the throne has just begun, so it's easy to get off the boat. It's a pity that Yinzhen and the others have been squeezing the Eighth Prince over the years."
Qingchuan: "At least they got off the boat early. In the future, whether it is the Fourth Prince or another prince who takes the throne, they should not touch their brothers. Maybe they will even try to win them over."
