Then, inside, Fourth Master saw the words written by Li Chenjiao.
At first, Fourth Master didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but later he realized that the ending strokes of these characters were all rather awkward.
The Fourth Prince's lips curled up slightly, and he wrote a few words on the side before covering them with a paperweight and going off to read.
Li Chenjiao came out after washing up, unaware of anything amiss.
The two pots of crabapple blossoms outside had already been moved inside. Li Chenjiao looked at them and, unable to resist the urge, picked a blossom and placed it on the small table.
Looking around, Li Chenjiao didn't see the Fourth Master, so she went inside. Sure enough, the Fourth Master was reading again, occasionally making annotations with a pen.
Fourth Master's habit is really something.
Li Chenjiao rested her chin on her hand and looked at it for a while. Hmm, it's quite good. Don't misunderstand, she was saying the book was good, not that the person was good-looking.
Seeing that the Fourth Master was about to look up, Li Chenjiao quickly looked down and started looking through the fan pendants she hadn't finished making during the day.
As soon as the Fourth Prince looked up, he saw that Li Shi opposite him had her head down and seemed inexplicably pleased. He coughed lightly twice, then looked away and continued reading.
Then the two of us would look at each other, and I'd look down, and I'd look at you, and you'd look down. And you know what? The scene was actually quite harmonious.
In the end, it was Fourth Master who gave up first, got up and walked inside, saying, "Hmm, it's time to rest."
...It was another colorful night.
The next day, the Fourth Prince, who always got up early, opened his eyes to find Nuanyu in his arms. He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously pushed Li Chenjiao away.
Li Chenjiao was sleeping soundly. Well, she was exhausted last night. She was nudged by the Fourth Master, so she turned over and went back to sleep.
Fourth Master chuckled, glanced at Li Chenjiao a couple more times, and then got up.
After getting dressed, just as they were about to go out for breakfast, Fourth Master suddenly noticed the crabapple blossoms on the table.
After a whole night, I was naturally a little tired, but it was still a beautiful watch.
For some reason, Fourth Master went over and took the flowers, then turned and walked inside. Only when he got to the bedside did he realize something was wrong.
By the time Fourth Master realized what was happening, the flower was already pinned to Li Chenjiao's temple. The flower was pretty, but looking at it this way, the person was prettier.
It resembles a painting of a beautiful woman sleeping in spring.
The Fourth Prince bent down and gently stroked the delicate flower: "You are more beautiful than the flower..." His voice was husky and very alluring.
Li Chenjiao seemed to sense something, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she suddenly turned over, her hair lightly brushing against Fourth Master's palm.
Fourth Master remained motionless for a while, just leaning over and looking at him.
It was Su Peisheng who called out from outside that brought Fourth Master back to his senses. He got up and walked outside, his back view giving the impression of a hasty retreat.
Li Chenjiao, however, was completely unaware of what was happening while she was asleep.
It wasn't until Li Chenjiao woke up and washed up that she noticed the crabapple blossom at her temple.
Qiu Ci, being young, said with a grin, "How come Princess has a crabapple blossom by her temple after taking a nap?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chenjiao touched her temples and then realized what was happening.
Suddenly, the phrase "a person is more beautiful than a flower" came to mind, and I couldn't help but blush.
Fourth Master...
Seeing that her princess had blushed, Qiu Ci asked, "It's not hot today, why is your face so red, princess?"
Li Chen gave Qiu Ci a reproachful look, but didn't say anything.
This made Qiu Ci laugh again.
...
The Fourth Prince, who had gone to the palace, was somewhat absent-minded at the moment. He didn't even respond when the Third Prince called him.
"Fourth brother? Fourth brother? Why didn't you respond when I called you?" Third Master asked.
"I was lost in thought for a moment. What did you say, Third Brother?"
The Third Prince glanced around and said in a low voice, "I heard from my mother that Consort Zhangjia hasn't been feeling well these past few days."
Lady Zhangjia had one son and two daughters.
She is the mother of the current Thirteenth Prince, Thirteenth Princess, and Fifteenth Princess.
Fourth Master lost all interest in thinking about anything else and asked, "Why did things suddenly turn bad?"
The Third Prince sighed softly: "There are plenty of concubines in the palace. Even if they are sick, they dare not make a fuss. Father Emperor is the same. Lady Zhangjia gave birth to my thirteenth brother, but she won't even give him a title..."
Fourth Master quickly stopped him: "Third Brother, watch your words!"
Third Master was embarrassed, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quickly said, "Oh, we brothers were just joking around. Let's go to the study to see Thirteenth Brother later when we're done talking."
"That fourth brother is really something," Third Master muttered to himself. "He's not that old, but he's already talking about his older brother."
"Good, Third Brother is very thoughtful." Fourth Master thought for a moment and agreed. Thirteenth Brother and Fourteenth Brother had always had a good relationship, and they also had a good relationship with Fourth Master.
Third Master whispered again, "Fifth Brother didn't come again today."
Fourth Master had noticed it long ago.
"Didn't the imperial physician say he caught a cold? Fifth Brother is probably recuperating." Fourth Master turned a page of his book and glanced at Third Master.
Third Master chuckled again, picked up the book, and muttered as he read, "Fourth Brother, you're really boring."
Fourth Master glanced at Third Master indifferently. His third brother was never serious.
...
At noon, everyone dispersed, and the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince went to the Imperial Study to fetch the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince.
The thirteenth and fourteenth princes were taken back to Yonghe Palace by the Fourth Prince, while the Third Prince returned alone to his mother, Consort Rong's, Chengqian Palace, looking pitiful.
When Consort De saw the three of them return together, she was taken aback for a moment, but she still told the palace maid to add a bowl and chopsticks.
After the meal, the two princes, tired from playing, went to take a nap in the side hall, while the Fourth Prince kept Consort De company and talked with her.
Consort De said gently, "Why are you thinking of going to pick up the Fourteenth Prince?"
Fourth Master replied, "I heard from Third Brother that Lady Zhangjia wasn't doing well, so I went to the Imperial Study to check on Thirteenth Brother."
Consort De nodded: "You know? She's pitiful too. Those who served His Majesty later than her have already received a rank..."
For a moment, the Fourth Prince dared not respond. Lady Zhangjia was also a former palace maid…
Consort De shook her head again: "I'll have the imperial physician examine her tomorrow. You don't need to think about this anymore."
The fourth prince's intentions are good, but given the Emperor's temper... It's good for the brothers to be harmonious, but I'm afraid the Emperor might think that the fourth prince is trying to win over the thirteenth prince. Perhaps it would be better for his mother to step in and help Lady Zhangjia.
The Fourth Prince naturally understood Consort De's good intentions and hurriedly replied, "But Thirteen and Fifteen are not young anymore..." The Thirteen and Fifteen he was referring to were the two princesses.
Consort De couldn't help but sigh: "Thirteenth Prince, his life is truly unfortunate..."
She was engaged two years ago to marry Cangjin, the Prince of Duling of the Ongniud tribe of the Borjigit clan of Mongolia.
The wedding is scheduled for September next year.
After a moment of sadness, Consort De said, "I will have someone keep an eye on them. I won't let anyone mistreat them. Don't think too much about it. Just take good care of yourself. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you should have some work to do."
Consort De knew in her heart that it would actually be after the Golden Festival, but seeing her son running to the palace every day, she felt a little reassured.
Fourth Master was genuinely stunned this time: "So fast?"
