The Fourth Master held her little hand in return, bent down, and brought Wen Mianmian closer to him.
The Fourth Master didn't say anything else, but proved it directly with his actions. The passionate kiss fell on him without any defense. Wen Mianmian was at a loss at the beginning, but gradually became addicted to it...

"How's it going?" In a private room of a restaurant, the Eighth Lady was sipping tea from a teacup, looking at a man wearing a veil who was kneeling on the ground.
"I found one." Then the man handed over his small box wrapped tightly in a bundle.
When the Eighth Lady saw this, she pressed her nose with a handkerchief and winked at the people around her.
The nanny beside her quickly stepped forward and took the thing.
Then he handed the man a thick stack of banknotes and said, "Let's go. Remember, you can't tell anyone about this. Keep your mouth shut and go as far away as possible. Otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will surely die."
The man happily took the banknote, but when he heard the nanny's words, he subconsciously shrank back and said in fear, "Yes, I know. I will stay away from you and will never tell anyone else." Then he took the money and left.
After the Eighth Lady and the others left, her eyes suddenly became fierce and terrifying, and she said to the nanny beside her, "Send someone to follow and finish it off. Remember to clean up the mess."
"Yes, I have already ordered someone to do it. That person will definitely not survive."
"Hmm~"
Then he looked at the thing in the nanny's hand and said, "Please keep this thing. Don't let anyone else find it."
"Yes, I understand."
There was a hint of ferocity in the Eighth Lady's eyes. If anyone wanted her to have a hard time, she wouldn't let that person have a hard time either.
One month before the selection, the Tenth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince were all summoned by Emperor Kangxi.
"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor, Father. Long live the Emperor."
"Everyone, get up." Emperor Kangxi put down his pen, looked at them and said, "I asked you to come here because of your marriage. You are all of marriageable age, and the selection will be held in a few days. What are your thoughts on this?"
Several people lowered their heads and looked at each other.
The tenth prince stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I will obey the Emperor's orders in everything."
He could never forget the Mongolian princess, but he couldn't say it out loud or directly to the emperor.
If the emperor had the idea of taking the Mongolian princess into the harem, then by saying these things wouldn't I be competing with him for the woman?
Emperor Kangxi turned his gaze to Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen again.
"What about you? Do you have a girl you like?"
Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Everything is subject to the Emperor's orders."
Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen don’t have any girls they like. The Emperor must have arranged everything for them, and they just have to obey.
"Well, then. I called you here this time just to ask you what you think about your marriage. Since you don't have a girl you like, I will make the decision for you when the time comes."
"Yes~" the three responded in unison.
"Okay, then there's nothing to worry about. You can go down, and the tenth brother will stay." Emperor Kangxi waved his hand, then picked up the brush on the table again and began to review the memorials.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen retreated.
In the end, only the Tenth Prince and Emperor Kangxi were left in the room. The Tenth Prince felt a little uneasy, wondering why the Emperor wanted him to stay.
Emperor Kangxi did not beat around the bush and directly stated his intention: "Tenth Brother, I will betroth the Mongolian princess to you as your wife. What do you think?"
"What, what?" The Tenth Prince thought he had misheard, and looked up at his royal father with some confusion.
"I'm going to marry the Mongolian princess to you as your wife. What do you think?" Emperor Kangxi repeated his words patiently.
The Tenth Prince was stunned on the spot. Was there really nothing wrong with his ears? How could he hear that the Emperor wanted to marry the Mongolian princess to him?
Emperor Kangxi saw that he did not respond, so he looked up at him and asked, "Why, you don't like it?"
"If you don't like the Mongolian princess, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Originally, Emperor Kangxi wanted to marry the Mongolian princess to the Fourteenth Prince, but the Fourteenth Prince was too impulsive and he was worried that the Mongolian princess would be wronged, so he chose the honest and simple Tenth Prince.
The Tenth Prince realized that he had heard correctly, and that his father was about to take back what he had just said, so he quickly said, "No, no, no, I like it."
Then he bowed and replied seriously, "And I like the Mongolian princess. If the emperor marries the Mongolian princess to my son as his wife, my son will definitely treat her well in the future."
"Are you really willing?" Emperor Kangxi looked at him seriously, as if trying to see something from his eyes.
However, the Tenth Prince's eyes were firm. "Yes, I am willing, and I will treat her well in the future. Please, Father, betroth the Mongolian princess to me."
He fell in love with the Mongolian princess from the first time he saw her. The emperor said that he wanted to marry her to him, and the tenth prince naturally agreed.
Emperor Kangxi looked at him and saw the determination in his eyes.
——
The day of the audition soon arrived. Since the Mongolian princess had already been chosen to be the tenth prince, participating in the audition was just a formality.
Originally, this matter was handled by Concubine De and Concubine Hui and others, but when the selection was halfway through, Emperor Kangxi actually came over.
Everyone saluted Emperor Kangxi, and after Emperor Kangxi called them to sit at the top, "Go on." Emperor Kangxi spoke to everyone.
Because of the arrival of Emperor Kangxi, all the concubines became more nervous during the selection.
However, one of the concubines was brave enough to look up at Emperor Kangxi who was sitting at the top.
But she took a look, quickly looked away and lowered her head.
Inwardly, I called out to the system, "System, will today's talent show go smoothly? I don't want to be noticed by Emperor Kangxi."
After all, she is so beautiful. If Kangxi also likes her, wouldn't that be like an old cow eating young grass?
The system heard her inner thoughts and rolled its eyes: "Don't worry, your mission is not him, how could I let him fall in love with you."
Besides, if it weren't for it, would she have become so beautiful?
"That's good." She was afraid that the arrival of Emperor Kangxi would change her future destiny.
Emperor Kangxi did not come here to choose someone for himself, he just passed by and came to take a look.
The decision on selecting personnel is still made by Concubine De and others.
