The next day, when the Fourth Prince went out, he was surprised to find that there was no reaction at the Eighth Prince's residence.
"Isn't today a day for the grand court assembly?"
Su Peisheng was very good at reading people's expressions, so he immediately knew what his master was wondering about. He nodded and said, "It's the day of the Grand Court. Eighth Prince has already left."
Fourth Master was slightly taken aback. "So early?"
Su Peisheng knew that these words weren't directed at him, but were merely a sigh of emotion.
Fourth Master got into the carriage, and Su Peisheng followed, sitting outside with the coachman.
Inside the carriage, the Fourth Prince closed his eyes to rest, but kept turning the thumb ring in his hand, showing his inner turmoil.
A moment later, the carriage stopped. At the same time, Su Peisheng lifted a corner of the curtain and reported, "Your Highness, the carriages of all the princes are ahead."
Fourth Master was taken aback. Why were they all here so early today? In the past, they were always later than him.
Immediately, my eyelid twitched.
"Fourth Brother, the vegetables you grew yourself taste great, haha!" The Fourteenth Prince lifted the curtain and shouted loudly at the Fourth Prince.
He laughed heartily and gestured to the driver to move the carriage aside to make way for his fourth brother.
The Fourth Prince, who had just lifted the curtain, glared at the Fourteenth Prince, who had shown no respect to his own brother, with a sullen face, and then let out a cold snort.
Su Peisheng glanced quickly at the Fourth Prince, feeling a bit of a headache. He hurriedly directed the coachman to urge the carriage forward and overtake the Fourteenth Prince's carriage.
But as soon as he passed the Fourteenth Prince's carriage, and thinking of the many princes waiting ahead, Su Peisheng's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the Tenth Prince shouted loudly at the Fourth Prince, "Fourth Brother, although I like to eat meat, this kind of dish is good for changing your palate! Haha!"
The Ninth Prince also lifted the curtain and came out, joining the Tenth Prince in teasing, "Indeed, but Fourth Brother, the Fifth Prince in the manor is really good at business. When you have time, bring him out to meet us. Tsk, if only my princes were as good at business as him!"
Inside the carriage, the Fourth Master, with a dark face and eyes closed, who was constantly twirling his thumb ring, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at them coldly, and sneered, "Too bad, you only have a few daughters!"
Ninth Master choked, and his smiling face turned dark.
"Haha!" The Tenth Prince continued to laugh, except that he had been laughing at the Fourth Prince just now, and now he was laughing at the Ninth Prince.
At that moment, Eighth Master's voice came.
"Flowers bloom first, fruit ripens later. Ninth Brother's fate of having a son is just a little late. He'll have a son eventually," the Eighth Prince comforted the Ninth Prince, then turned to the Fourth Prince with a smile and said, "Fourth Brother, Ninth and Tenth Brothers didn't mean to be sarcastic. Fifth Brother in the manor is indeed quite shrewd in business. Selling vegetables is a legitimate business, and there's nothing wrong with it. Besides, Fourth Brother, I've bought some of the vegetables you grow, and they taste really good!"
The Fourth Prince, his face dark with anger, gathered his strength and forcefully interrupted the Eighth Prince, who seemed about to speak again, "Eighth Prince, the Great Court is of utmost importance, so your Fourth Brother will take his leave first."
After saying that, he glanced at Su Peisheng, who immediately understood and instructed the coachman to hurry up and drive the carriage over.
Inside the carriage, the Fourth Master, his face ashen, closed his eyes again, and began to turn the thumb ring on his thumb faster and faster.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. After the carriages of the 89th and 93rd princes had passed, the carriages of the 7th and 5th princes were still stuck ahead.
Of course, they didn't just stop in front and block the way; they also moved the carriage to the side to try and make way.
But the movements, the speed, so slow, were clearly intentional. They were probably waiting for me, weren't they?
Sure enough, the Seventh Prince, Yinyou, lifted the curtain, ignoring the Fourth Prince's dark face, and called out to him with a smile, "Fourth Brother!"
Fourth Master couldn't help but rub his forehead. Even the invisible Seventh Brother had come to watch the show!
He opened his eyes, put down the person pressing on his forehead, and glared coldly at his seventh brother, Yin You.
Yinyou was actually a little afraid of his cold-faced and petty fourth brother, but in order to see his fourth brother make a scene, he could be a little bolder.
So, after his expression stiffened slightly, he smiled again and said, "I bought some vegetables from the Fifth Prince's stall. This is my first time buying vegetables, so it's quite an experience."
“Yes, Fourth Brother!” Fifth Prince Yinqi also said with a smile, “This is also my first time buying vegetables. Luckily, Third Brother sent a message, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to buy the vegetables that Fourth Brother grew himself.”
While the Fourth Prince glared coldly at the Fifth Prince with a dark expression, he didn't forget to make a mental note of his Third Brother, Yin Zhi.
It turns out that these younger brothers were so well-informed that they all bought vegetables from Hongjing's stall. When he found out, he immediately dragged Hongjing back, but it was too late; all the vegetables were sold out. It was all because of his third brother!
Not long after, the Third Prince, Yinzhi, also appeared and spoke, acting like an elder brother and instructing the Fourth Prince.
"Fourth brother, it is a bit inappropriate for the imperial grandson to sell vegetables. However, Hongjing is still young, and if you want to educate him, just talk to him nicely. I heard that you spanked Hongjing. You can't discipline children by hitting them. Hongjing is still young, and you can't hurt him."
As he spoke, the Third Prince Yinzhi felt his face grow darker and colder, and he felt as if the temperature around him had suddenly dropped, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"Is that so?" Fourth Prince raised an eyebrow and retorted to Third Prince Yinzhi, "So, Third Brother, you've changed your methods of disciplining your son. You don't hit him anymore. If Third Sister-in-law heard you say that, she would probably be very satisfied."
Yin Zhi: "..." He thought of his wife's doting way of spoiling the child, and then he thought that if his words reached his wife's ears, how could he teach his unruly son?
Fourth Brother (the fourth brother) is indeed a tiger whose tail you can't touch!
The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, who were watching from the sidelines, were both a little annoyed. Why did they have to get so carried away and come to tease the Fourth Prince?
Now things are different. Fourth Brother didn't settle accounts with them on the spot, but he's the most cunning and best at remembering things, and he'll pay them back later.
Both of them felt a sudden jolt of fear!
Sure enough, after a few days, one after another, the princes looked miserable!
Fourth Master calculated and retaliated against them in various ways.
The Third Prince will be separated from his beloved books for a while! He is reluctant to part with them, and he is depressed.
The Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince's leisurely days are over, they're so busy now!
Moreover, these were all things they didn't really like, but they had to do them even though they didn't enjoy them. They were so busy that they were practically glued to the ground, and within a few days, they had dark circles under their eyes and were yawning all the time.
The eighty-two princes were no exception. The ninety-two princes were easy for the Fourth Prince to scheme against. Then, the Eighth Prince was dragged into the mess by his two younger brothers and was also schemed against by the Fourth Prince.
Although it wasn't a big deal, it still disgusted them for a while.
In the end, even his own younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince, was not spared by the Fourth Prince!
Who would have thought that this younger brother was related to him? He actually came to watch the show, and when he saw Hongjing selling vegetables, he didn't stop him, but instead helped to fuel the fire.
