The Fourth Master tapped his hand lightly on the table and said in a serious tone, "No matter what, I believe the Emperor will choose the right candidate. Even if we discuss it intensely now, the decision is in the hands of the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely have his own considerations when choosing who to be the Crown Prince."
He wanted that position, but he didn't want to get it through any shady means. If he wanted to sit on that position, he would sit on it uprightly. He believed in his own abilities and also in the emperor's ability to discern.
After hearing what Fourth Brother said, everyone looked at each other in surprise. They had not expected that Fourth Brother would have such thoughts.
Little Fourteen disagreed a little, "Fourth Brother, even if that's the case, you still need someone's support. How about I do it? I will definitely help you win over more people to stand on your side."
He felt that his fourth brother was clearly gambling. If the emperor didn't think so, or if he had another candidate in mind, or if he felt that the support was the best and the more supporters around him, the more capable he would be of taking on this important task, then it would be too late by the time the time was right.
"You are not allowed to go. I have my own decision on this matter. You all should stay still and don't make any moves. Do you think the Emperor will be completely unprepared at this time? Don't try to be clever and end up getting yourself into trouble."
The Fourth Master's face became very serious, and Little Fourteen's heart trembled when he saw his fourth brother like this.
The Sixth Master also agreed with Fourth Brother's words. He looked at Little Fourteen and said, "Little Fourteen, Fourth Brother is right. Don't act rashly. We can't rush into this matter. If the Emperor knew you were doing this, he would definitely be angry. We can't lose the big picture over the small."
"I know, I know. I just said it out loud on the spur of the moment. Don't worry, I'll definitely discuss it with you before I do anything."
Xiao Shisi was a little depressed. Did he make them so worried?
"Then Fourth Brother, are we really going to do nothing?" Xiao Shisan said at this time.
If they do nothing, the third brother will win over many people to his side, which will be even more disadvantageous to them.
"Don't do anything. Do you think the Emperor doesn't know about this? In fact, the Emperor knows much more than we think."
Maybe someone is watching their every move right now, so doing nothing is the best option.
When others heard what Fourth Brother said, they thought it made sense.
"Then listen to Fourth Brother and we won't do anything."
Sixth Master still believes in any decision made by Fourth Brother. He must have his own reasons for making such arrangements.
The Third Master was a little overwhelmed. Faced with the surrender and flattery of so many people, the desire for satisfaction and victory in his heart was rising rapidly and was about to reach its peak.
He had never enjoyed the surrender and flattery of so many people before, and it was really hard not to be excited by that kind of satisfaction.
It was precisely because so many people stood on his side that he felt that the position of crown prince belonged to him.
"Prince Cheng, we will go back first." A group of people came out of the Beijing Restaurant and said goodbye to Prince Cheng with a smile at the door.
"Okay, let's go out for dinner together again if we have the chance."
Looking at the backs of those people leaving, the smile on the corner of San Ye's mouth became more and more obvious, and his grasp of that position became stronger and stronger.
"Go back home."
Little did they know that all this was seen clearly by people sent by the emperor in secret.
"What did you say."
When Emperor Kangxi heard the words of the secret guard, he turned around and his beard stood up in anger.
"This third brother is really good."
"How is the fourth brother doing?" Emperor Kangxi asked another secret guard, suppressing his anger.
"Prince Yong hasn't made any moves. Everything is normal. Apart from official business, he hasn't had any private interactions with any officials in the court."
Emperor Kangxi felt relieved when he heard this. The fourth son was much more stable than the third son.
"Keep watching. If anything seems amiss, report back immediately."
"Yes~"
After the two secret guards left, Emperor Kangxi said, "It seems that the third brother is very confident about the position of crown prince."
Liang Jiugong, who was listening on the side, did not dare to interrupt. After all, he was just a servant and did not dare to meddle in the emperor's affairs.
Emperor Kangxi naturally didn't want to say anything to Liang Jiugong, but said: "You should also send people to keep an eye on some officials in the court. If they have any private dealings with anyone, report it to me in time."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
——
Apart from official business, the Fourth Master has been spending most of his time in his own house these days. He doesn't worry about what's happening outside at all.
On this day, Wen Mianmian was basking in the sun while holding her little grandson who was just a few months old.
"Mammy, look at Yongyu's little face. Doesn't it look very similar to Xuanxuan's when he was little? Except for his eyes which look like Rongyun, everything else is very similar to Xuanxuan when he was little. It's so cute to look at."
Wen Mianmian teased Yongyu as she spoke.
Nanny Song smiled and said, "You know what, they really do look alike. Before, the little prince's face hadn't opened yet, but now if you look closely, doesn't he look a lot like the second prince when he was a child?"
Fu Cha Rongyun was very happy to hear her mother say this.
"Mother, do they really look alike?"
Although Fu Cha Rongyun knew that his son looked like his grandfather, he didn't know that the second prince looked like this when he was a child.
"Like you, except for the eyes, everything else is like they were carved from the same mold." Wen Mianmian seemed to have thought of something when she said this.
The smile on his face grew even more intense. "I remember when Xuanxuan and the others were little, I drew a lot of little portraits of them."
She turned her head to look at Nanny Song and asked, "Nanny, I remember you put those things away. Please go find them. I haven't seen them for a long time."
"It is indeed kept by me. I will go and find it out right away." Then she went into the house and took out all the small portraits she had drawn before.
Fu Cha Rongyun became curious when she heard that her mother had a small statue of her grandfather when he was a child.
"Mother, you still have a portrait of the Second Prince when he was a child."
Wen Mianmian teased her little grandson and said with a smile, "Well, they were so fun when they were little, and they were very naughty. I drew them back then. I'll take them out later and you can take a look at them. They're really fun."
Wen Mianmian didn't mind at all that her son's ugly behavior when he was a child was seen by her wife. The two of them got along very well, and Xuanxuan had never had a concubine. Wen Mianmian really hoped that they could stay like this.
"Really? Can your son really see it?" Fu Cha Rongyun really wanted to see what her grandfather looked like when he was a child.
"Of course you can. You're her daughter-in-law, so what can you not see?"
