"Yeah, what else?"
Jiang Ranli knew all this, and she wanted to know something else.
Seeing her anxious, the Thirteenth Prince said again, "When it comes to talent in poetry and literature, Ninth Brother is one of the best among us brothers. Moreover, he is very good at business and innovation, which is better than many of our brothers. However, the Emperor is not very satisfied with his move."
Jiang Ranli nodded. She used to think that Yinzhen was just a playboy with a false reputation, but in fact, he was very hardworking and serious in everything he did.
Moreover, in this feudal era, when people were resisting foreign things, Yinzhen showed an open-minded acceptance of them. He was willing to accept new things and was willing to put them into practice. This was contrary to most people of this era, and even Emperor Kangxi did not quite agree with him on this point.
"And then?" Jiang Ranli continued to ask.
This time, the Thirteenth Prince did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at her for a long time. After a while, he said seriously, "Li'er, Ninth Brother is very good and outstanding. He is excellent in status, appearance, and ability. However, he is not a man worthy of a woman to entrust her life to."
It's not that the Thirteenth Prince is slandering his Ninth Brother. It's just that the Ninth Brother's statement is out there, and there are groups of wives and concubines in the courtyard. He is good in everything except one thing: he is not a good husband.
This was not the first time Jiang Ranli heard Thirteenth Prince say such words, she knew it all.
"Li'er, there are so many brothers among us. Apart from our innate identities, each of us has outstanding appearance and abilities. Why do you only focus on the ninth brother?"
In fact, the Thirteenth Prince wanted to talk about his fourth brother, but considering that Jiang Ranli was very secretive about the fourth brother, he had to speak metaphorically.
Hearing his words, Jiang Ranli nodded. All of Emperor Kangxi's sons were outstanding men. Perhaps Emperor Kangxi was too blessed, but no other emperor after him had so many princes with outstanding talents and abilities.
However, which eye of the Thirteenth Prince saw that he only had his eyes on Hua Xinjiu.
Jiang Ranli glanced at the Thirteenth Prince and wanted to argue with him, but when she thought of Yin'er's future fate, she no longer had the mood to do so.
In the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince, her opening of her mouth to speak was seen as an expression of agreement to what he said, and his handsome brows furrowed.
"Li'er, you are so smart, can't you see the truth?"
Knowing that the Thirteenth Prince was a man who would not stop until he got to the bottom of things, Jiang Ranli had no choice but to respond to prevent him from saying anything else.
"It's not what you think."
"What's that like? There are so many eyes watching in the camp. Everyone knows that Ninth Brother treats you differently, and everyone knows that you treat Ninth Brother differently too," the Thirteenth Prince refuted Jiang Ranli's words.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli rubbed her brows. She knew that there were many rumors about her and Yinzhen in this camp, but she never cared about them. Whether they were true or false, she just wanted to live her own life well.
But she forgot, she didn't care, that there were so many people, so many eyes and mouths in this camp.
"Thirteenth Prince, do you believe me or what others say?" Jiang Ranli looked at the Thirteenth Prince seriously with a clear voice.
When the Thirteenth Prince saw this, the frown between his brows gradually relaxed and joy welled up in his eyes, "Li'er, you mean how you feel about Ninth Brother..."
