Jiang Ranli found it interesting and listened to him with eyes wide open, "Well, then, how did you manage to pass every exam?"
Emperor Kangxi was very strict with his princes. Jiang Ranli really wanted to know how the Tenth Prince, who didn't like studying, passed those tests.
"Then the tenth brother really pretended to be dead. Almost every time the tutor asked him, he lay on the ground and pretended to faint." Despite the tenth prince's strong rejection, the fourteenth prince still told the story of his past embarrassment.
Wow, what a talent.
Jiang Ranli sighed and gave the Tenth Prince a thumbs up. She didn't expect that the Tenth Prince was so bold when he was a child. You know, the tutors reported the princes' schoolwork to Emperor Kangxi every day, but the Tenth Prince still dared to pretend to be unconscious and slack off.
"It's nothing, don't look at me like that."
It was the first time that the Tenth Prince was looked at with starry eyes by Jiang Ranli, and he felt quite embarrassed for a moment.
"No, no, no. I didn't expect that you were so different from others when you were a child. Come, let's make this string of candied haws."
Jiang Ranli imagined the scene when the Tenth Prince pretended to faint to avoid the assessment when he was a child, with a smile on her face. She wondered what Yinzhen was like at that time.
"Fourteen, why don't you toast with us?"
The Tenth Prince and Jiang Ranli's candied haws touched each other and they made toast gestures, but the Fourteenth Prince didn't join in and had a trance-like expression on his face.
"Fourteenth Master, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ranli raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, trying to bring back his wandering thoughts.
"Li'er, put it on."
The Fourteenth Prince spoke, but what he said puzzled both the Tenth Prince and Jiang Ranli.
"What is Li'er wearing?" The Tenth Prince looked at Jiang Ranli and looked her up and down.
Following the Fourteenth Prince's gaze, Jiang Ranli looked at her wrist. On her slender white wrist was a pale pink jade bracelet.
"You're talking about this, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ranli didn't understand why the Fourteenth Prince had such an expression when he saw her wearing the jade bracelet. She wondered if he regretted it and wanted to take the jade bracelet back, so she wanted to take it off.
Looking at her actions, Fourteenth Prince frowned, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ranli paused and looked up at him, "Don't you want to take it back?"
Upon hearing this, the Fourteenth Prince looked extremely helpless. He wanted to ask Jiang Ranli, was he such a stingy person? There was no reason to ask for something back after giving it away. Besides, the jade bracelet was originally given to her.
"When did I say I would take it back? Now that you've put it on, you can't take it off."
"Why can't it be taken off?" Jiang Ranli felt that after more than three years, she was increasingly unable to understand this future great general king.
"This bracelet has health-enhancing effects, but the health-enhancing effects cannot be seen in one or two days. It needs to be worn for a long time to be effective." The Fourteenth Prince shifted his gaze elsewhere and said this with disgust.
Jiang Ranli pursed her lips. Well, she was just too stupid.
"Master Shi, where are we going?"
In order to avoid being despised by the Fourteenth Prince, Jiang Ranli pulled the Tenth Prince to continue talking. From an angle that she couldn't see, the Fourteenth Prince raised the corners of his lips, and his star-like eyes were filled with smiles.
"Let's go to the teahouse. The storyteller there tells pretty good stories. Li'er, don't you really plan to open a Frost and Snow Courtyard or a gambling house in the capital? I think after visiting so many places, the shop you and Jiang Fan opened is the most interesting." The Tenth Prince's face was full of regret. He had visited the capital thousands of times, but none of them was as fun as Jiang Ranli's shop.
