After lunch, Li Chenjiao took a nap, but since she had already taken a nap in the carriage on the way here, she wasn't very sleepy now.
Not long after Li Chenjiao woke up, Fourth Master sent someone to bring some game from the front yard. It looked like it had just been hunted, and the arrows looked like they had just been pulled out.
Li Chenjiao didn't have a particular fondness for wild game, but it just happened to satisfy her craving for hot pot, so she simply asked someone to send it to the kitchen and give her specific instructions on how to cook it. She also took the opportunity to ask the kitchen to prepare a drunken duck dish and send it to the front yard for dinner.
When Li Chenjiao heard that she was going hunting with Fourth Master, she remembered the time she asked him if he was good at riding and archery.
During dinner, Li Chenjiao ate the wild game in the hot pot and inexplicably laughed, leaving Qiu Hu, who was serving her, completely baffled.
Little did Li Chenjiao know that the Fourth Prince had previously said that he was "only" bad at riding and archery. If he were to go hunting with the Crown Prince now, wouldn't the Fourth Prince have to pretend that he was "bad at riding and archery" again?
It's rare for someone to get out and relax, so why does Fourth Master keep creating trouble for himself?
However, what Li Chenjiao didn't know was that even the Fourth Master himself didn't expect that there would be another Crown Prince among them when he went hunting on the manor today.
After all, although the Crown Prince has been leaving the palace more often lately, the Fourth Prince has not been able to meet him very often.
The Fourth Prince didn't go to the palace today either. He only noticed that Su Peisheng's expression was strange when Su Peisheng came to answer his questions.
The Fourth Prince himself didn't encounter the Crown Prince very often, let alone the Fourteenth Prince, who had virtually no chance to leave the palace.
It was just a coincidence that the Fourteenth Prince ran into the Crown Prince on his rare trip out of the palace.
When the Crown Prince learned that the Fourth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were going to the manor in the suburbs for horseback riding and hunting, he clapped his hands and said that it would be perfect for them to go together.
At that time, the Fourth Prince was not around, and Su Peisheng alone could not stop the Crown Prince, so he could only reluctantly agree.
The Crown Prince had already arrived at the Fourth Prince's residence, so the Fourth Prince couldn't bring himself to refuse him.
When the Crown Prince mounted his horse, he noticed the carriage behind him, and his gaze became somewhat meaningful.
In his previous life, in the harem of the fourth prince, or rather in the harem after his ascension to the throne, the two most favored concubines in his princely residence were Lady Li and Lady Nian.
The woman in the carriage now is likely the same Li Shi who was highly favored before Nian Shi entered the household.
The Crown Prince thought that in the future, during festivals, perhaps he could have Li Jia and the Li family of the Fourth Prince's residence contact each other more often.
However, the Crown Prince came out today to relax, so he naturally had a good time riding horses, shooting arrows, and hunting.
When he heard from the servants that the kitchen had sent over a dish of drunken duck during dinner that night, he didn't point it out, but just smiled.
Today's meals were all prepared by the kitchen in the front courtyard of the estate, and the kitchen would not send out a meal without a reason.
After the Crown Prince finished laughing, he poured several more cups of wine for the Fourth Prince.
