Seeing this, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Alright, you're naturally clever."
"Little sister, what are you looking at so intently?"
Dolan snapped out of his daze upon hearing this and said blankly, "I didn't see anything."
After saying this, she lowered her head.
Where no one could see, her face flushed with embarrassment.
...
Yinzhen sat with Tong Cheng'er, watching the match between the Manchus and Mongols.
Overall, the Manchus won more often, and Emperor Kangxi was very satisfied with the results of the match.
After the men's competition, it was the women's turn.
Compared to men, Manchu women are slightly inferior to Mongolian women in horse racing and archery.
Emperor Kangxi saw this but wasn't particularly concerned, since men generally had the advantage on horseback.
Dolan won two games in a row, which caught the attention of Emperor Kangxi.
Emperor Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong, "Who is that princess?"
"Your Majesty, that is Princess Dolan, daughter of the Prince of Khorchin."
Emperor Kangxi nodded. So she was a princess from the Khorchin.
He laughed and said, "It's a good one, reward me."
Upon hearing this, Dolan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Dolan does not wish for any reward."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi's smile faded slightly.
"Oh? You don't want a reward? Then what do you want?"
Dolan said directly, "Your Majesty, Dolan wishes to marry the Fourth Prince."
The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
Yinzhen was talking to his young wife when he never expected that the fire would spread to him. Tong Cheng'er was also taken aback when she heard this; the Mongolian princess was being too bold.
Emperor Kangxi never expected that she wanted to marry the fourth prince.
"I'm afraid that won't work, my fourth prince is already married."
Kangxi's words were essentially offering Dolan a way out. If Dolan was sensible, it would have taken the opportunity to back down, since his words clearly indicated that it would not agree.
Dolan seemed to understand the implication, and she shook her head and refused, saying, "Dolan doesn't mind Fourth Princess Consort."
Tong Cheng'er's face darkened upon hearing this. She didn't mind, but had they asked for her opinion?
When Yinzhen saw his little wife's expression, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little happy. His little wife could be jealous!
Tong Cheng'er noticed that Yinzhen's lips were slightly upturned, and when no one else could see, she pinched his waist and abdomen: "What, are you happy?"
Yinzhen shook his head: "No, I have always kept my promise and will not touch other women."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi was immediately displeased. What was wrong with this person? He was quite ungrateful!
Emperor Kangxi: "Princess Duolan is joking."
Dolan: "Dolan is not joking. Please grant my request, Your Majesty."
Kangxi's face instantly turned ugly.
Seeing Kangxi's unpleasant expression, Dolan's brother, Jeb, spoke up: "Your Majesty, my sister is young and doesn't know her own words. She was just joking!"
Kangxi was about to nod, after all, they were from the Khorchin, and he had to give them some face.
Before Kangxi could speak, Dolan said, "Brother, I'm serious. I love the Fourth Prince."
Zhebu's face darkened upon hearing this. He was usually willing to pamper her, but this was not a time for her to act recklessly.
"Dolan!!"
Dolan: "Your Majesty, Dolan is willing to become a concubine of the Fourth Prince."
Emperor Kangxi felt that this princess had some mental issues.
"Yinzhen, what do you think?"
Yinzhen said coldly, "Your Majesty, my heart belongs only to my wife. I am not worthy of Princess Duolan's kindness."
Kangxi nodded, then said to Dolan, "As you can see, let's drop this matter."
Dolan blushed: "Your Majesty, Dolan would like to have a contest with the Fourth Princess Consort."
Emperor Kangxi was already very impatient.
"There's no need."
Emperor Kangxi knew perfectly well how capable the fourth prince's wife was.
Emperor Kangxi: "The two competitions are over, there is no need to continue them."
Dolan was unconvinced, and she looked directly at Tong Cheng'er: "Could it be that the Fourth Princess Consort is afraid?"
Tong Cheng'er felt as if disaster had struck out of the blue; this trouble had come to her completely unexpectedly.
Just as she was about to say something, the Third Princess spoke up.
"Princess Dolan, right?"
Dolan looked at the Third Princess Consort with a hint of arrogance: "Who are you?"
The Third Princess Consort didn't mind her arrogance and smiled as she said, "I am the Third Princess Consort."
Dolan: "What are you trying to say?"
Third Princess: "I am more familiar with Fourth Sister-in-law. I am not as smart as Fourth Sister-in-law. Otherwise, I am itching to have a contest between us. If you can beat me, then you are qualified to compete with Fourth Sister-in-law. Otherwise, Princess Duolan should go home and drink milk for a few more years."
Upon hearing this, Princess Dolan was furious and immediately nodded, "Fine, I'll compete with you first."
Emperor Kangxi had not expected things to develop in this way, but since the Third Prince's wife had spoken, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
After all, the Third Prince's wife should be better at horsemanship and archery than the Fourth Prince's wife.
And so the contest between the Third Princess and Dolan was decided in a rather haphazard way.
The Third Prince, standing beside his wife, looked rather displeased and said, "Do you really want to show off that much?"
The Third Princess Consort glanced at the Third Prince, but remained silent.
She really didn't want to speak to this man.
Third Prince: "You...you..."
The Third Princess said to the maid beside her, "Let's go."
They completely ignored the Third Prince.
The Third Prince stood there, somewhat bewildered. Why wasn't this woman clinging to him today?
Not only did she stop clinging to him, she practically treated him like he wasn't there.
That's too much.
