After all, they were sent by His Majesty. Although they would have no connection with the outside world once they entered the Fourth Prince's backyard, it was not appropriate to simply send them away to any random courtyard.
However, it was no different from simply dismissing them; Su Peisheng personally escorted the two girls to their respective courtyards.
One of the girls was surnamed Cheng, while the other only said that her name was Miss Lu, and that everyone had called her that since she could remember. As for whether that was her real name, no one knew.
Both girls were innocent; they were both from the Nanfu Music Hall. Miss Cheng was sold there after her family fell on hard times, and Miss Lu had a similar reason.
However, Su Peisheng didn't have time to listen to their tragic backstories. Who isn't pitiful? If these two delayed his work and his master blamed him, he would be the one who would suffer.
He personally escorted the two girls to their respective courtyards, and then, with a stern face, gave them detailed instructions, essentially telling them not to go outside unless necessary, and not to disturb anyone.
His face wore his usual forced smile: "Consort Li is frail and cannot be disturbed. The two young ladies must not disturb her unless necessary, otherwise, if the master finds out, this servant will be unable to help."
Cheng nodded obediently and personally escorted Su Peisheng out without asking any further questions, appearing to be a well-behaved person.
However, the other Miss Lu was a bit different. Even as Su Peisheng was about to leave, Miss Lu followed him and kept asking questions, the gist of which was when the Fourth Master would come to see her.
This young lady wasn't particularly beautiful. She had an oval face, a slightly pointed chin, and a flat nose, which made her look a bit less lively. Her eyes weren't especially big, but fortunately, her skin was fair, so she could be considered a beauty from a distance. However, she did have a beautiful voice; even when she spoke, it sounded like she was singing.
This reminded Su Peisheng of the late Xie Gege, but this one was far from Xie Gege; if she were to become even more restless…
As Su Peisheng left, he glanced silently at the two eunuchs guarding the door, and before he had gone far, he dusted off his sleeves.
Well, it all depends on your own fate. If you really want to court death, no one can stop you.
Su Peisheng was in a hurry to go to the front yard to give a reply.
Today was originally just a gathering of princes to ride horses. After nearly a month of traveling, everyone was bored and restless. When they arrived at the palace, they were all eager to go. It wasn't just the princes, but also the princes and nobles from the imperial clan who were accompanying them.
Fourteen, who had just ridden a horse yesterday, finally had his fill today. For him, the riding arena was still too small; riding on the grasslands below the palace was much more comfortable.
Fourth Master also ran two laps, but he had rested late the night before and wasn't in much spirits. After running two laps, he went to sit down at the newly built open-air resting place.
However, he had only been sitting down for a short while when his father arrived.
The atmosphere at the racetrack seemed to change as soon as the Emperor arrived. The men, who were already eager to try their luck, became even more energetic.
Especially for the princes and nobles of the imperial clan, this was a rare opportunity to show their faces in front of His Majesty.
Despite the seemingly glamorous lives of the princes and nobles of the imperial clan, many of them actually hold no official positions, and quite a few of them were idle in this entourage.
In contrast, the princes were not so enthusiastic. After all, the only older princes were Prince Zhi and the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince had already gone to rest, and Prince Zhi disdained to compete with a bunch of youngsters. He simply rode his horse leisurely, enjoying the breeze.
The Crown Prince was not fully recovered, so he stayed at the Eastern Palace today and did not come to join in the festivities.
The Fourteenth Prince, however, was the one running the most energetically.
His Majesty was generous with his praise; he seemed to be in a very good mood today.
However, after watching the group of young people ride the horses twice, they seemed to have become gloomy. The people who were riding the horses did not even know when the Emperor had left.
However, when His Majesty left, he seemed to notice the Fourth Prince. As he left, he pointed slightly at the Fourth Prince with his thumb ring on his hand. A moment later, Liang Jiugong, who was beside His Majesty, came over with a smile.
It looked like Liang Jiugong was holding something in his hands.
"Greetings to Fourth Master."
The Fourth Prince offered a perfunctory toast to Liang Jiugong, then asked if his father had any instructions for him.
"His Majesty said it's hot and asked me to bring you a palm-leaf fan. It may be simple, but it will bring some coolness in this sweltering summer."
The Fourth Prince accepted it personally, but didn't rush to look at it. He thanked him first, and then asked a question, but not about the Emperor's intention in giving him the fan. Liang Jiugong probably wouldn't tell him anyway.
He wanted to ask something else: "There are more people in the backyard, but I don't quite understand Father Emperor's intentions..."
The Fourth Prince did have an answer in his heart; what he wanted to know by asking this question was the Emperor's attitude, which would determine how he would deal with the two men.
Liang Jiugong's smile remained unchanged: "Once the people are sent to Fourth Master, everything will naturally be arranged by him. Those two were just extras; His Majesty never intended for them to be like that..."
After all, the Fourth Prince's residence has always been peaceful. Adding people there would only cause trouble, since the Fourth Prince is naturally quiet. His Majesty originally had no intention of sending anyone to the Fourth Prince's residence.
This morning, after His Majesty sent people to Prince Zhi, Prince Zhi personally went to His Majesty to say that it was wrong to show favoritism, which led to the matter with the Fourth Prince.
When Prince Zhi arrived, he seemed somewhat resentful, but in the end, His Majesty gave in to Prince Zhi's wishes.
