No one present doubted Fei Chen and Qing You's words.
Because everyone knows how biased the emperor is, and these two are the ones he favors the most...
The eldest prince and the others couldn't help but cast a gloating yet sympathetic glance at the fourth prince.
This fourth brother is even more foolish than the third brother. For Lou Kui's sake, he not only offended Qingyou, but also that bastard Fei Chen.
If these two go to the palace together to file a complaint, they're bound to win.
The fourth child is clearly headed for a tragic end.
It's good that the fourth prince was forced out of the capital; lately, he's been quite active in the court, constantly opposing them.
However, what happened today is not good news for them either.
The Emperor already favored the Crown Prince, and now he has even betrothed Princess Ling to him. Coupled with the power of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, it will be even more difficult for them to overthrow the Crown Prince.
How come that bastard is so lucky?
When my father was in trouble, this clever scoundrel knew to stay by his side and suffer with him, which gradually corrupted his heart.
They were supposed to be assassinated by the rebel king's men when they went to Qinan Mountain, but they happened to run into Princess Ling who was there to relax.
Not only did they save this bastard, they also arranged for him to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's family. Just thinking about it makes me envious, jealous, and angry!
The fourth prince felt the gazes cast upon him by his brothers, and his face darkened further.
He was about to speak when Fei Chen, holding Qingyou's hand, said, "I'll take you back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Eunuch Su still needs to deliver the imperial decree."
Qingyou nodded, "Okay!"
So the two left hand in hand, leaving behind a group of shocked and dumbfounded people.
The literary gathering has become so chaotic that it can no longer continue.
Mr. Xie was the first to leave in a huff, and the others naturally followed suit.
Soon, news of the literary gathering spread throughout the capital.
People in the capital never expected that the Prince of Guangfeng would be so shameless as to plagiarize ancient poems and use them as his own.
To deny something after being exposed is a sign of extremely poor character.
Upon hearing the news, Marquis Pingnan couldn't help but feel relieved that he had passed on the hot potato of Lou Kui to the Prince of Guangfeng.
Otherwise, the Marquis's mansion would have its reputation tarnished by Lou Kui today.
If Lou Kui's true identity as a woman were revealed, there would be a lot of trouble.
He also started watching the play.
The Prince of Guangfeng's playboy persona was an act. He was originally quite satisfied with his son Lou Kui, who was intelligent and capable. Lou Kui not only got involved with two princes but also won over many noble families and scholars from humble backgrounds.
I was in a good mood, listening to some music in the yard.
When the guards came to report to Wenhui, he looked on in disbelief.
Then his face instantly darkened. "Stupid, so incredibly stupid."
He plagiarized poems and ancient collections to show off at literary gatherings, but was exposed. He felt that all his intelligence and competence were fake, and that stupidity was the real thing.
They've really been raised to be petty and stingy in Qingzhou.
If he hadn't desperately needed a son, and if Lou Kui hadn't been his blood relative, he would have regretted acknowledging him as his son.
After hearing the rest of the story, he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table. "Princess Ling is really going too far."
No matter what, Lou Kui is the son of Prince Guangfeng. For Princess Ling to have someone slap his son in the face in public is tantamount to slapping him in the face.
"That brat, she keeps ruining my plans."
The assassination attempt on the Crown Prince was almost certain to succeed, but it was ruined by that brat.
This also caused his plans to be completely disrupted.
Now they're going to utterly humiliate him, the Prince of Guangfeng, and make him furious.
Soon, Lou Kui was sent back to the Guangfeng Prince's Mansion by the Fourth Prince.
The Prince of Guangfeng thanked the Fourth Prince and personally went to the courtyard to see the Lou Kui.
When Lou Kui saw the Prince of Guangfeng, she immediately began to cry, “Father, that Princess Ling is simply too much! It’s a small matter that she hit me, but it’s a big deal that she hit your face.”
She knew that this cheap father was not as simple as he seemed; he secretly possessed a very strong power.
The Prince of Guangfeng was furious when he saw his son's swollen face. "Princess Ling has really gone too far. I will never let her get away with this."
Seeing his angry expression, Lou Kui continued to incite him.
Then he said, "Father, we can't let Princess Ling marry the Crown Prince, otherwise she'll become even more arrogant."
“The Crown Prince already enjoys the Emperor’s favor. If he also has the support of the Duke of Zhenguo, he will definitely target our Prince’s Mansion if he gets to the throne in the future.”
These last words struck a chord with the King of Guangfeng.
Seeing Lou Kui's hesitant expression, he asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Lou Kui didn't hide his ruthlessness, saying, "Find an opportunity to kidnap her, then throw her into a pile of beggars for the night."
The Prince of Guangfeng was a ruthless man, and he certainly wouldn't want his son to be a pushover.
Then she sneered, "I don't believe that with her reputation ruined, the Crown Prince would still be willing to marry a slut, or that the Emperor would allow the two of them to get married."
What she wants to do most right now is to get rid of the Fujian green pomelo.
Let alone becoming the Crown Princess, it would be difficult for her to even marry into a powerful and wealthy family.
Even if she loses her innocence and is protected by the Zhenguo Mansion, she will definitely not be able to marry into a good family.
Moreover, with Min Qingyou's innocence gone, she could take the opportunity to win over the Crown Prince.
The Prince of Guangfeng was not surprised by his son's suggestion. He had always known that his son had inherited the blood of their royal family and was ruthless.
However, this is also something he likes; how can one achieve great things in the future if one is not ruthless?
So he clapped his hands, and a bodyguard appeared.
Prince Guangfeng narrowed his eyes and instructed his guards, "Keep an eye on Princess Ling, then send a message to the people over there, telling them to find an opportunity to kidnap her, and then do as the Crown Prince says."
We really can't let the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo's family form a marriage alliance, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with them.
Moreover, Min Qingyou has repeatedly ruined his plans, so he can't let that brat have a good ending.
The guard respectfully replied, "Yes!"
After the guards left, the Prince of Guangfeng said to Lou Kui, "What you did today was too stupid."
Lou Kui knew what he was referring to, and said with pursed lips, "I didn't expect anyone to have a collection of ancient poems. I originally wanted to use this to help my father make friends with some scholars."
She immediately admitted her mistake, saying, "I will definitely be more careful in the future and will never make the same mistake again."
Sure enough, the Prince of Guangfeng swallowed the words of rebuke he was about to utter. "It's good that you know you're wrong. You must be careful with your words and actions in the future. If you're unsure about anything, come and ask me first."
It seems this son isn't too stupid, just too young.
Lou Kui nodded obediently, "Yes!"
In front of the Prince of Guangfeng, she had to be an obedient son, demonstrate her own value, and then coax the power in his hands to her own use.
Today's experience made her realize the importance of power even more.
Although she had fallen for Fei Yu before, his attitude today chilled her to the bone.
She wasn't as protective of her as the Fourth Prince.
Unfortunately, she wasn't very interested in the fourth prince.
After Lou Kui and the Prince of Guangfeng left, a desire for power was revealed in their eyes.
Rather than relying on Fei Yu to rise to power, she should encourage the Prince of Guangfeng to make up his mind to rebel, and she can become the empress herself.
She would make sure Min Qingyou knelt and served her every day, otherwise she would not be able to quell the hatred in her heart.
