Chapter 3 Seeking Marriage

More than a month passed in a blink of an eye. The orchids on the Qiuwei hunting ground were as dazzling as the summer sun. The fierce red riding clothes and a white horse at the crotch really made the other palace concubines and concubines present. The noble lady was eclipsed.

The fourth prince saw this beautiful and flamboyant scene in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but lose his mind slightly. She had a kind of pride that the women around him didn't have.

Yixiu, the Fujin Ulanala clan who followed beside her, felt a shiver in her heart. She knew what that look meant, because he had such a look on the day her eldest sister entered the house, but later, the eldest sister died. Died in childbirth.

Nian Shilan saw the fourth prince's eyes out of the corner of her eye. She sneered in her heart, but a smile broke out on her face. She quickly looked back in the direction of the fourth prince and rode away.

The eunuch Su Peisheng, who had grown up with the fourth prince since childhood, saw this scene and quietly stepped away to find out whose noble daughter this was.

When setting up camp in the evening, Su Peisheng took the opportunity to tell the fourth prince that she was the legitimate daughter of the governor of Huguang, Nian Xia, who was sixteen years old. The most important thing was that she had not yet been married to someone else.

The fourth prince rubbed the ring on his hand and thought of the young general Nian Gengyao he had met in the army, who turned out to be his sister.

The emperor had seventeen sons, but there was only one throne, so the princes were secretly trying to make a move. Only the fourth prince seemed to have no interest in the throne.

In addition to going to court, he spent the whole day playing chess, calligraphy and painting in the mansion. Occasionally, the emperor would give him official duties, but he would never ask for credit. When the emperor asked him what reward he wanted, his eyes would sparkle and he would say that he wanted a calligraphy and painting by a certain famous artist. He was really a kind of idle person who was obsessed with calligraphy and painting. Looks like a prince.

But this time after the autumn period, when the fourth prince hunted a leopard, three sika deer, and several birds and rabbits to take the lead, the emperor smiled and asked him what he wanted.

He said that he wanted a marriage and could he have a blessing in his house.

The emperor looked at the fourth prince and smiled, then turned to speak to Concubine De, who was also the fourth prince's biological mother: "I don't know whose child the fourth has taken a liking to, but he actually took the initiative to speak."

Concubine De was dressed in a lake-blue palace dress, with only a few new palace flowers and a few hairpins on her hair. She looked calm and generous.

The well-maintained face was full of smiles: "It's rare for him to ask for something. Let's see whose young lady it is. If she has the right status, she will also get a good marriage."

So the eunuchs around the emperor went to inquire about the birthday of the legitimate daughter of Nian Yaling, the governor of Huguang.

When a royal marriage is granted, the horoscope must be combined first.
