When the prince returned to the palace, he immediately went to the imperial study room to tell the emperor what he had learned.
"What he does is simply to make the Qin family and the Rongguo Duke's family become in-laws. As long as Yuan Ming comes out on top, Qin Qianqian will have to marry."
According to the Qin family's love for their daughter, they would definitely not marry Qin Qianqian to Yuan Ming.
Duke Rong will definitely not give in. When the time comes, he will have no choice but to come to him, the emperor, to make the decision.
If this fire reaches the palace, no matter which side he helps, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction.
What's important is that we still don't know whether that brat Fourth really doesn't care or is just a tough talker.
"That's right," the prince said softly, "I will go back and think of a way to deal with it."
[Just work on Yuan Ming. The first thing is that he didn't run away. Those young men who know how to do tricks must have retreated when they saw him. 】
[You should think of a way to make Yuan Ming give up voluntarily, so that no one will be offended, otherwise you will fall into the pit dug by King Yueqing. 】
[The King of Yueqing did this because he wanted to take revenge on the Four Emperors for cheating him. In fact, it seems that Qin Qianqian is somewhat innocent. 】
The emperor didn't take it seriously. Even if the fourth child didn't trick King Yueqing, King Yueqing would not keep his peace.
But the method Luo'er said is also a method.
…
At the moment, apart from the Qin family who are busy competing in martial arts to recruit relatives, the Cai family is also busy.
Today, the Cai family invited many people to dinner, including business partners and court officials.
Everyone exchanges cups and cups. On the surface, they seem to be in harmony, but in fact, they have other plans in mind.
Before, they thought that Cai Ze would be reused by the emperor, but they didn't expect that the emperor would only give him a county magistrate, and they would go to Changshan County instead.
If it weren't for Prime Minister Li's sake, many people probably wouldn't come here today.
After all, Cai Ze has no value in their eyes.
"Master Cai, congratulations."
An official came forward with a wine glass and said, "Here's a toast to you. I wish you all the best on your trip to Changshan."
Cai Ze thanked him in return.
What the other party said was congratulations, but in fact, he must be gloating about his misfortune.
At this time, two people came in at the door.
All the officials who had been drinking stood up.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince asked everyone to stand up with a gentle smile, walked towards Cai Ze and handed over a box.
"My father asked me to come and give you a congratulatory gift to Mr. Cai. I wish Mr. Cai all the best on your trip."
Cai Ze accepted the gift and thanked him with a sincere smile.
Among these people, the only ones who really came to congratulate me were the prince and Li Yunhe.
"Everything goes well here." Li Yunhe stood beside the prince and handed over the congratulatory gift he had prepared.
"Mr. Cai," a drunken official wandered over and pointed at Li Yunhe, "Your father-in-law is the prime minister, and your brother-in-law is the prince's teacher. Why don't you let them say a few words for you? You won’t go to Changshan County.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was sweating in their hearts for this person.
Some of them were even worried that they were drunk and talking nonsense like him, so they couldn't help but put their wine glasses on the table.
"Did I say something wrong?" Seeing everyone looking at him, the adult who drank too much even burped, apparently not realizing that he said the wrong thing.
In fact, what he said was also what many people present felt, but since everyone was awake, they naturally did not dare to say it.
And he just said what was in his heart under the influence of alcohol.
"Are you dissatisfied with your father's arrangements?"
The prince had a smile on his lips and a gentle voice. The moon-white brocade robe made him as gentle as jade.
But if you look closely, you can see that his smile does not reach his eyes.
This brief episode ended with the man being taken away from the table by other officials.
The prince came only to send congratulatory gifts. After sending the congratulatory gifts, he returned to the palace first.
On the female side, Li Qian was talking and laughing with the ladies.
Everyone praised her for her good fortune and a prosperous husband. Not long after she married Cai Ze, Cai Ze got the top prize in the exam.
"This is all the husband's own efforts."
She was good at encouraging Cai Ze, but she couldn't attribute all this to her prosperous husband just because Cai Ze married her and happened to pass the exam.
If Cai Ze fails the exam, will these ladies think that she is her enemy?
"Look, it's still protected."
The ladies laughed and teased Li Qian again, feeling a little envious at the same time.
The Cai family was originally just a family of merchants, but now Cai Ze has passed the exam. Although he is only a county magistrate, he is still an official.
Besides, Cai Ze is not old now and has a lifetime to live. Who knows what kind of fate he will have.
…
The prince left Cai Mansion and originally wanted to go back to the palace, but the carriage suddenly stopped halfway.
"What's wrong?" The prince opened the curtain and heard Lin Qidao: "The third prince almost hit the carriage for some reason."
The third prince was originally thinking about his dream for the past two days, but accidentally got distracted and almost bumped into the prince's carriage.
He stepped aside and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother Crown Prince."
Seeing the dark green eyes under his eyes, and since the street was not the place to talk, the prince motioned for him to get into the carriage.
After he sat down, he asked warmly, "What's going on? I can get distracted even when I'm walking on the road."
The third prince shook his head and said, "Thank you, Crown Prince, for your concern. It's okay."
After all, he himself hasn't figured out what's going on yet.
"Because of the princess?" The prince saw that he didn't know what to say, and combined with Yu Yiluo's inner voice, he rarely felt a bit of gossip.
Today he saw that Mu Xue didn't seem to have had a good rest. The two of them really had a tacit understanding.
"That's right." The third prince was a little surprised. The prince and brother were not only interested in helping his father with political affairs and studies, so why did he suddenly care about his affairs.
He wouldn't be surprised if the second emperor brother said this, but the prince's words made him a little uncomfortable.
"I met the princess today when I went to the Qin Mansion. She didn't seem to have a good rest. If you have anything to do, just tell her directly. Anyway, you are not dealing with ministers, so there is no need for too many twists and turns."
After the prince finished speaking, he asked the third prince to get off the carriage and drive away.
Looking at the disappearing carriage, the Third Emperor couldn't help but laugh.
Is the Crown Prince comforting him?
"Your Highness, why are you laughing?"
Ziyang walked out and saw His Highness smiling there by himself. He stretched his neck and looked towards where the third prince was looking. The road was empty with nothing.
Could it be that the princess sent His Highness back? No wonder she came back so quickly and didn't let him follow her. It turned out that she was going to meet the princess by chance.
"It's nothing," the third prince stopped laughing. Only then did he realize that the prince had placed him at the door of the third prince's residence. He thought he had thrown him into the street casually.
Turning around and entering the Third Prince's Mansion, he remembered that the Prince said he had gone to the Qin Mansion. The Third Prince asked Ziyang, "Is there anything going on over there at the Qin Mansion?"
Ziyang looked surprised, "Your Highness, aren't you out? Miss Qin is engaging in a contest to recruit a bride, but the primary election just started today, so it's not interesting."
