Chapter 90 090 What's wrong with the love rival? Is there still a need for competition? ...
The desperate Eighth Prince originally wanted to make a "true confession" to Xianyu by getting drunk, in order to overtake her and successfully spread some rumors with Xianyu before the selection of concubines in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then "make the rice a fait accompli".
But wishes are beautiful and reality is cruel.
Before he could even open his mouth, he was pinned down by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Fourth Prince.
Although the Fifth Prince was a step slower, when he saw the Fourth Prince move, he followed suit.
Just kidding, he is serious about pursuing the second daughter of the Wang family. Although he was a little careless for not noticing that there are other competitors before, it’s not a big problem. Isn’t fourth brother watching him? It’s definitely right to follow fourth brother in everything. Who told him that he also likes the second daughter of the Wang family?
The naive Fifth Prince's attention is basically all on Xianyu, and he really can't pay attention to anyone else.
Fortunately, he seemed to be born with a kind of instinct like a wild animal, and he instinctively discovered that the Fourth Prince was also a "fellow traveler" - it turned out that the Fourth Prince also liked the Second Miss Wang. It was really "great minds think alike". No! It seems not to be this sentence. Anyway, the Second Miss Wang is so good, it is normal for him to like her... Damn it! Damn it! He always felt like he was being compared to her, but he would not admit defeat.
Because of this wonderful connection, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince acted one after another, holding down the Eighth Prince from the left and right, giving the feeling of being attacked from both sides.
The Fourth Prince, who always paid great attention to his image, even covered the Eighth Prince's mouth with his hand, as if he was afraid that he would say something terrible. Compared with the Fifth Prince, who just stared at the door stupidly, expecting the Second Miss Wang to suddenly appear, and the Third Prince, who was obviously there to watch the show, the Fourth Prince was indeed more "observant and attentive".
After all, he has always been a cautious person. Once he makes up his mind, he will definitely "win it".
The second daughter of the Wang family was the first one he met and the first one he chose to be his wife. All the other brothers and sisters should just stand aside and don't try to compete with him.
Since the Fourth Prince has made up his mind, he pays more attention to Xianyu's affairs than at other times.
Therefore, no matter whether it was the Fifth Prince, the Eighth Prince, or even the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince paid close attention to all these "rivals in love", whether overt or covert. He even tried to guess their thoughts every day and predict the actions they might take. Then, at the critical moment when they took action, he would "step forward", "turn the tide", or "kill them with one blow".
This is true for the Fifth Prince, and even more so for the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince.
After all, in the heart of the Fourth Prince, there is actually a ranking of "rivals in love" - although the Fifth Prince behaves the most enthusiastically and flamboyantly, he is actually the lowest ranked "rival in love" on the Fourth Prince's side.
The second is the third prince.
Yes, the Third Prince, who has always appeared as a "spectator", is actually a greater threat to the Fourth Prince than the Fifth Prince, who pursues him passionately every day and looks like a complete infatuated fan.
As the saying goes, "It is easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark", the more obvious the attack is, the less threatening it is - besides, the Fourth Prince had already come to a conclusion based on his daily careful observations and his understanding of Xianyu's character, that is, Xianyu would not like someone like the Fifth Prince.
Although silly people look cute, they will be very annoying if you live with them in the future.
When in love, being naive is very pleasing, but after marriage, if you are still so naive, it will be difficult to deal with it. With the Fifth Prince's brain and temperament, when he was young, he relied on the Empress Dowager and his mother to make decisions for him. After marriage, he must have his wife to make decisions for him on basically everything. What is the difference between such a marriage and being a widower?
The second daughter of the Wang family is not the kind of girl who can be won over by just being nice to her. She is not that superficial. Therefore, the fifth brother, who is a fool who can only stare at other girls and can't do anything practical, is useless and will definitely be the first to be eliminated.
On the contrary, although the Third Prince always claimed that he was here to watch the fun, based on the Fourth Prince's understanding of him, this reason was too far-fetched.
The Third Prince is just eighteen years old this year, only one year older than the Fourth Prince. The two of them basically grew up together and went to the study together, so they are compared together the most often.
The Third Prince has always been a top student, and later on he became a scholar. In short, he is the one who loves reading and is good at thinking.
The Fourth Prince is a practical man. He read the book step by step, but compared with the Third Prince's in-depth study and his insistence on understanding the book, the Fourth Prince is more like "reading widely" and "not seeking to understand everything".
It’s not that he thinks reading is unimportant, but mainly, he pays more attention to application - he thinks that no matter how good the principles in the book are, they are useless if they cannot be applied.
This pragmatic preference for reading made him not stand out much in the enlightenment and accumulation stages when he was a child. No matter when he was asked to answer questions or Master Kang came to test his homework, his performance was always mediocre and was completely inferior to the Third Prince.
But when they were a little older and began to enter the Southern Study to audit government affairs, the advantages of the Fourth Prince's learning method became apparent.
Applying what you have learned is a very high-end way of thinking. After nearly ten years of learning and accumulation, the Fourth Prince is basically invincible in this field. This can be reflected in everything he has done, especially the trip to Jiangnan last year, which was completed very beautifully, and even pushed forward the "imperial examination fraud case" that had not been broken through for so many years, which was really impressive.
Master Kang also appreciated this very much. Although he had long discovered that the fourth prince had talents in this area, it was not until the fourth prince made a name for himself in Jiangnan that he truly realized the ability of his fourth son.
While feeling very pleased, Master Kang also began to let the Fourth Prince take charge of more practical matters - making the best use of people and things has always been an important guideline for Master Kang in governing the country, even if this "person" is his own biological son.
Since the fourth child likes to do practical things, just let him do it.
Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, there will be a lack of people who can do practical work. The fourth brother has a stable temperament, and it would be good for him to be a "virtuous prince" or a "capable minister" in the future.
This was of course what Master Kang thought before he heard Xianyu's thoughts on which prince would inherit the throne in the future.
When he heard that it was the Fourth Prince who inherited the throne, his thoughts changed again.
To be honest, on a quiet afternoon, when he had brought several princes to the study to discuss government affairs, and watched them quarreling over a small matter but could not come to the point for a long time, he suddenly heard the voice of the little girl from the Wang family, saying, "What a bunch of useless things, what are you quarreling about? Didn't you see that the fourth master didn't say anything, but just watched from the side." "Otherwise, how can we say that he will inherit the throne in the future? Just looking at his temperament, he is extraordinary"...
She said a lot of other things afterwards, but Master Kang didn't listen to her.
no?
Is this correct?
How come the fourth prince inherited the throne in the end?
If I remember correctly, he is now a formally crowned crown prince.
The second prince Yinreng, the legitimate son of the Empress Yuan, is the current crown prince. He was personally canonized as the crown prince when he was one year old. Yinreng has been the crown prince for more than 20 years, and he has not failed in any way.
So, why did the fourth brother succeed to the throne in the end?
So where did Yinreng go?
Hello! Hello! Hello!
Little girl from the Wang family, stop thinking about this and that. Are you kidding me? Just keep thinking about what I just said... Tell me, what happened to Yinreng? Why didn't he succeed to the throne, but the fourth son?
What is going on?
Restricted by the special "hard control" mode when listening to one's inner voice, Master Kang could neither speak nor move. He could only shout silently in his heart, hoping that Xian Yu would be able to communicate with him, continue to "think" about the topic he wanted to hear, and speak her inner voice out loud for him to hear.
But Xianyu and he really had no tacit understanding at all, at least at that moment, she had no tacit understanding at all. After suddenly dropping the explosive news that the Fourth Prince would succeed to the throne in the future, her thoughts drifted to other places again.
It seemed that she was thinking about what to eat for lunch, and she thought about it carefully for a long time - after all, standing in a place like the study as a vase was too boring. Although the scene of the brothers arguing was quite interesting, it was also boring after watching it for a long time.
Therefore, Xianyu just sighed, "After all, he is the Fourth Prince, and he will be the emperor in the future," and then put this idea behind her.
In her opinion, whether it was the Fourth Prince or any other prince, or even the matter of who would inherit the throne, it had nothing to do with her. Their affairs, to her, were just something to eat when she was bored, and she couldn't focus on one person or one thing because of it.
So, amidst Master Kang's silent cries, Xianyu lightly jumped from one topic to the next, and until now, she had never thought about anything related to the succession to the throne, including, of course, why the prince was deposed.
It really keeps people in suspense.
But Master Kang is also a very patient person, which is why he always wants to find an opportunity to meet Xianyu - as long as they meet enough times, he will be able to "hear" all the news he wants to hear.
On this point, Master Kang's idea was not wrong at all, but he did not expect Xianyu's thoughts to be so divergent. After so many days, she still hadn't continued the previous topic. It was really...
Unlike Master Kang who was eagerly waiting, the Fourth Prince had basically given up on listening to Xianyu's inner thoughts - he couldn't hear her anyway no matter how hard he tried, so he might as well use his powerful observation skills to try to "read her mind".
Of course, he was not really "reading minds". In fact, he was just relying on observation and inference to understand Xianyu's thoughts.
Well, the Fourth Master is the Fourth Master after all, and Xianyu was originally a lazy person with no ambitions or dreams, so if you are determined to guess her thoughts, it is quite easy to guess.
In response, the Fifth Prince said, I don’t believe you at all... I have also tried my best to guess it, so why can’t I guess it?
The Fourth Prince said, you are different, when adults are talking, don’t interrupt, thank you.
Considering that the Fourth Prince is the kind of person who is always studying the character of the people he cares about, after competing with the Third Prince openly and secretly for many years, the Fourth Prince actually understands the Third Prince's character very clearly.
Since he was a child, he never did useless work and always completed all his homework quickly and well. Do you think that the Third Prince would just come here to eat melons for no reason? Only the idiot Fifth Prince would believe it. Anyway, the Fourth Prince would not believe it.
In fact, no matter whether it is the Fifth Prince or the Third Prince, the threat they pose to the Fourth Prince is not that great. The biggest threat comes from the Eighth Prince.
Unlike the Fifth Prince and the Third Prince, the Eighth Prince was the last to join the battlefield.
But he has an advantage that no one else has - he is the youngest.
Yes, among the four princes present, calculated by age, the Third Prince is eighteen, the Fourth Prince is seventeen, the Fifth Prince is fifteen, and the Eighth Prince is fourteen.
The Eighth Prince is the youngest and is closest to the thirteen-year-old Xianyu.
People of the same age always have more in common, and the younger they are, the more reckless they can be. Plus, his changeable personality can easily attract the interest of girls... Thinking about it this way, Lao Ba is simply too scary.
Therefore, the Eighth Prince is the Fourth Prince's most feared rival. No matter what, he must not be allowed to say that he wants to marry into the Wang family...
The Fourth Prince couldn't stop sweating, and he and the Fifth Prince worked together to subdue the Eighth Prince.
Since the two of them started fighting first, Wang Ziteng and Wang Yao also assisted from the side. The Third Prince was still watching the fun from the side. The Eighth Prince's struggle was getting more and more intense... It was a moment of chaos when Xianyu made a brilliant appearance, which was somewhat embarrassing.
In particular, when the Fifth Prince saw her, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was about to let go of the hand that was holding the Eighth Prince's arm. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince stopped him in a low voice.
I don’t know what the Fourth Prince said to the Fifth Prince. The poor child was shocked at first and then heartbroken. He looked at the Eighth Prince and then at Xianyu, and immediately pulled the Eighth Prince’s arm tighter - why did I feel like there was an inexplicable stalemate in the atmosphere?
So, their dispute is about themselves?
Just as Xianyu was thinking about whether to go in or out, the Fourth Prince had already spoken:
"Since Doctor Wang is here, why don't you come in and have a seat?"
