The Yonko who originally wanted to talk nonsense, but the words were already on his lips, swallowed them back silently.
He knew that his mother-in-law was not easy to fool.
"Mother, I climbed the wall and fell." The fourth prince said vaguely.
Concubine Shu took out her ears and said impatiently: "This is a serious fall. I can't understand what I'm saying. Please speak carefully."
The fourth prince raised his good hand and scratched his head, "I climbed the wall and fell."
"You climbed the wall and fell?" Concubine Shu glanced at him, "Which family's wall did you climb on, the Qin family's?"
The fourth prince pursed his lips and nodded. Besides the Qin family, which family could he go to?
"As long as you are climbing to Qin's house, you can go back."
Looking at the retreating figure of the fourth prince, Concubine Shu curled her lips. It seemed that her son had finally learned how to climb the wall.
…
The fourth prince finally relaxed after sitting on the carriage leaving the palace.
The carriage came to the street. The fourth prince opened the curtain and saw the figure of King Yueqing. He hurriedly stopped the carriage.
"Your Highness, since your hands are like this, there is no need to go to the Qin Mansion to embarrass yourself."
Ah Feng thought he hadn't given up yet and wanted to try to persuade him.
"I see King Yueqing, follow him and have a look."
The fourth prince got off the carriage and followed King Yueqing. The more he walked, the more familiar the road became.
Until King Yueqing went to Zhu Mansion.
Master Zhu is not colluding with King Yueqing, right? Didn't Luo'er say that King Yueqing wanted to take his father's position?
"Shall we go in and take a look?"
Ah Feng looked at the Fourth Prince, "You can't hear or see anything here."
Just as the two were planning to find a way to enter the Zhu Mansion, King Yueqing walked out.
The fourth prince quickly turned around and pretended to be passing by.
Prince Yueqing came to Zhu's Mansion to take the opportunity to win over Mr. Zhu, but he didn't want Mr. Zhu to lie down on the bed so decadently that he was still half dead. It seemed that he would have to come back another day.
"Fourth Prince," while thinking, he suddenly noticed the Fourth Prince from the corner of his eye, and King Yueqing called to him.
What is the fourth prince doing here? Could it be that he followed him?
"Uncle?" The fourth prince turned around pretending to be surprised, "Why is your uncle here?"
King Yueqing glanced at his hand first, then smiled and said:
"I heard that Mr. Zhu got a rare flower, so I wanted to come and have a look. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu seemed to be ill."
Everyone knew that he liked flowers and plants, so it would not arouse suspicion if he said so, not to mention that this person was the fourth prince.
"So that's it," the fourth prince said as if he believed it. He planned to leave first, but he heard King Yueqing say.
"Now that we have met, why don't I invite the Fourth Prince to a restaurant for dinner?"
The fourth prince felt happy, as he hadn't been to a restaurant for a long time, so he could kill King Yueqing well.
The two of them went to the restaurant with their own thoughts.
The fourth prince didn't need to read the recipe, he just opened his mouth and announced a list of dish names.
"Uncle, I didn't order much, did I?" the fourth prince asked after finishing his order.
The corner of King Yueqing's mouth twitched, "Not much. If it's not enough, you can continue to order."
He was just being polite, after all, the fourth prince ordered a lot, but the fourth prince's eyes actually lit up and said: "Really? Then I will order some more and take them home to eat later, uncle, you don't mind, right?"
It had been a long time since he had eaten at a restaurant, and when he finally had the chance to do so without having to pay for it, he would definitely have to have a good meal.
"I don't mind." King Yueqing almost said these words through gritted teeth.
Ah Feng sat silently and didn't speak. He ate in silence after the dishes were served.
"Fourth Prince, do you feel that your brother treats other princes better than you?"
The reason why King Yueqing invited the fourth prince to dinner was to sow discord.
It is said that the fourth prince is not very smart, so he should be easy to fool. If the time comes, he will do something stupid and give the emperor a headache.
The fourth prince held a chicken leg in his mouth and said while chewing: "I don't think so, they are all about the same."
Seeing that he was not following the path, King Yueqing continued:
"Look at how well-meaning the imperial brother is to His Highness the Crown Prince, and also to the second prince. He even asked the second prince to go to Dali Temple to hear the trial. The third prince is also loved by the imperial brother, and even the little princess is held in his arms by the imperial brother. Look at you again .”
The fourth prince stopped chewing the chicken legs, thought carefully and nodded.
"That seems to be the case."
After hearing this, King Yueqing poured him a cup of tea, "Yes, you see, the crown prince and the third prince's names both have the character "jing" in the middle, while the names of you and the second prince have the character "heng". Isn't this partiality, brother?"
The fourth prince took a sip of tea and put down the cup.
"My father is really caring about the prince and brother, but I think it's normal, because the prince and brother are the princes, and the other princes are also very good. It makes sense that my father wants to train them to help the prince and brother."
He paused and pointed at himself, "Father is also very attentive to me, but I don't like it. And you said that Father is holding Luo'er in his arms? We also like Luo'er very much."
King Yueqing wanted to hold his forehead. Did the fourth prince really not understand, or were he just pretending to be confused?
I have never seen such a dishonest person.
"By the way, there's nothing to say about the names. The second emperor brother and I were named by our own mothers and concubines. There is no favoritism."
He still knows how capable he is, and it would be better if his father and the emperor don't let anyone control him. He has a headache just looking at what the prince, emperor, brother, and the others have learned.
The fourth prince had almost finished eating. He wiped his mouth and ordered some signature dishes to take back later.
He talked for a long time and got nothing. The feeling of being punched on cotton made King Yueqing feel depressed.
In addition, the fourth prince spent so much money on him unceremoniously, which almost made him vomit blood.
The fourth prince didn't notice the change in King Yueqing's expression. He waited for the dishes to be packaged and then stood up.
"I had a great time eating today. I will eat with the emperor next time I have a chance. I will leave first."
"Is this fourth prince really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" King Yueqing's subordinates looked at the fourth prince walking away, "This is so unethical."
King Yueqing settled the bill with a sullen face and returned to the palace, asking his subordinates to check what happened to the fourth prince's hand.
The fourth prince and Qin Qianqian had known each other for more than a day or two, and his subordinates quickly told King Yueqing the whole story.
"In that case, you can pay attention to Qin Qianqian's movements."
The subordinate raised his hand and said yes, and then said: "Has Prince Shen Yu figured out how to deal with it?"
King Yueqing rubbed his temples and said, "Keep it for now."
He originally planned to deal with Shen Yu, but Mrs. Yao didn't know what she was thinking. She actually invited Shen Yu to enjoy the flowers together.
"By the way, how is the progress with the Sixth Princess?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "The sixth princess has not left the palace yet. She will take the imperial examination in two days. Your Majesty, please wait patiently."
If that person really becomes the consort, he will definitely be a great help to the prince.
King Yueqing was silent for a moment, "After the palace examination is over, the Sixth Princess must meet that man no matter what. My patience is limited, so let him seize this opportunity."
