The bond between father and son in the imperial family is so thin.
Fortunately, it seems that the Fourth Prince has not yet reached that point. After the Golden Festival, he rested for another seven or eight days before returning to the Ministry of Revenue. However, he mostly just went to check in and did not stay long.
Most people rested in the front yard, and if they went into the back yard, they would unsurprisingly go to the east yard.
To be honest, Li Chenjiao and the Fourth Master hadn't seen each other for more than half a month since Li Chenjiao returned to the mansion on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The two met from afar. Li Chenjiao, standing under the eaves, brushed her hair, which was being blown by the wind, and found the way Fourth Master walked now somewhat amusing.
It's probably because they're afraid of aggravating the wound.
She held back, and when the Fourth Master got closer, all she could see was a faint, gentle smile on Li Chenjiao's lips.
Fourth Master arrived early, before it was time for dinner. The two children were reading in the study, and Li Chenjiao and Fourth Master went outside the study to listen for a while.
Li Chenjiao got a little tired of standing, so she sat down on the veranda.
As she watched the way Fourth Master looked at the children reading inside, her smile deepened.
Fourth Master may seem aloof, but he's actually quite easy to talk to most of the time, as long as you don't try to outsmart him. Of course, jokes when you're close to him are another matter.
At least most of the time, Fourth Prince was a good father.
If such a person were to take it a step further, he should be able to do very well as well.
Li Chenjiao, on the other hand, was somewhat looking forward to it.
Seeing that the Third Prince was no longer capable, and Yinreng... Li Chenjiao had heard many rumors, but she thought simply: if His Majesty truly had high hopes for Yinreng, why would he have deposed him?
Only Prince Zhi and the currently popular Eighth Prince remain, but Li Chenjiao really hopes it will be the Fourth Prince rather than either of them.
Li Chenjiao was lost in thought when Fourth Master suddenly grabbed her wrist. For a moment, Fourth Master's eyes were exceptionally sharp, like a hawk eyeing its prey, but they quickly disappeared.
That look wasn't directed at Li Chenjiao; Li Chenjiao noticed that the Fourth Master wasn't looking at her.
However, Li Chenjiao saw ambition in the Fourth Master's eyes.
It harbors a hidden ambition that is rarely seen in ordinary times.
Clearly, while Li Chenjiao was lost in thought, the Fourth Master was also thinking about something.
