The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Early in the morning, the fourth prince rode his horse straight into the eldest princess's mansion.

After walking around for a long time, I found the whereabouts of my royal sister in the back garden.

"Sister Huang, your place is really much bigger than my palace. I've been here so many times and I still can't remember the way!"

The fourth prince, panting, walked into the pavilion and sat down opposite Princess Zhaoyang. He turned over a tea cup, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down.

After drinking tea, he looked up and saw that his imperial sister was still reading silently. She ignored him at all and asked with a stern face: "What is your imperial sister reading?"

"A general lesson in governance."

"..."

"Sister Huang, can you blink your eyes when you lie? Your book clearly says "The Rise of Eastern Mongolia", do you really think I am illiterate?"

Princess Zhaoyang finally raised her head and glanced at the fourth prince with praise, seemingly happy that her silly brother had become smarter.

This made the fourth prince immediately grimace, and he didn't know whether to be happy or not.

"Sister Huang, why don't you ask me why I came to you?"

"What do you want me to do?"

"I have made an appointment with many of my descendants from the clan to ride horses out of the city today. Sister, do you want to go with us?"

"Don't go."

"..."

The refusal was so straightforward that the fourth prince couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Really not going?"

"Don't go."

"Let's go, let's go. Sister Huang, it's been a long time since you went out to play with us in the city. The weather is so nice today, so I made a special trip to invite you early in the morning."

The fourth prince stood up, walked over and grabbed Princess Zhaoyang's arm, trying to pull her away.

At the same time, he also muttered: "What's the point of being bored in the house every day? I think you liked to go out to the city the most, riding a horse, drawing a bow and shooting arrows. There are so many of us who can't compare to you."

Moreover, the people who went there today are all young and talented people, and many of them admire the imperial sister..."

The fourth prince was still very strong. Without Princess Zhaoyang seriously resisting, he easily pulled Princess Zhaoyang up and was about to descend into the atrium.

When the female official standing in the pavilion saw this, she quickly reminded the fourth prince: "Your Highness, please be careful, the princess is pregnant."

The female official was afraid that the fourth prince would hurt Princess Zhaoyang recklessly, so she explained like this in a hurry.

Princess Zhaoyang glanced at her, but she didn't blame her.

Anyway, this matter cannot be hidden from interested people, and besides, he is still her biological brother.

But the fourth prince was confused. He grabbed his imperial sister's little arm and said blankly: "Pregnant?"

Princess Zhaoyang didn't answer her, just took out her hand and turned back to the pavilion.

When the fourth prince saw Princess Zhaoyang's acquiescence, he became furious and shouted at Princess Zhaoyang: "Which bastard did this?"

Princess Zhaoyang frowned, and her stern gaze immediately shot towards the fourth prince, causing him to shrink subconsciously.

At this time, a maid came to report: "Princess, the Marquis's car has arrived."

Princess Zhaoyang nodded and heard the fourth prince shout: "Master Marquis, which Marquis? Jia Lian? Is he the one who did it?"

Princess Zhaoyang wanted to reprimand him, but when she saw that the fourth prince looked excited and almost jumped, which was probably due to his concern for her, she said warmly: "You go out to the city with them to play. I have business in the palace today. "

"Fart! Jia Lian, what a Jia Lian, I can't spare him!"

Before the fourth prince could finish his voice, he was already rushing outside, apparently looking for trouble with someone.

Outside the princess palace.

Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang had decided to go to the palace today to ask Emperor Ningkang for marriage, so they came here early in the morning to wait.

He was not surprised to see the fourth prince coming out of the mansion. He had already seen the fourth prince's appearance outside.

So he jumped off his horse and said with a smile: "Prince Xiao, you are well."

"Okay, I'm very good."

The fourth prince walked over quietly, calmly, and suddenly punched Jia Lian in front of his face.

Fortunately, Jia Lian reacted quickly. When the opponent's fist was close to his eyes, he grabbed the opponent's wrist and pressed it with his backhand.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness?"

The fourth prince didn't say anything. He was restrained with one hand, and without saying a word, he gave another counter-hook.

Jia Lian thought about the fourth prince coming out of Princess Zhaoyang's mansion, and seemed to have some realization in his heart, but his hand movements did not stop.

He restrained the Fourth Prince's arm with one hand and pressed on the Fourth Prince's back.

The guards of the fourth prince not far away were all shocked and said quickly: "Marquis Zhenyuan, please stop, don't be rude to the prince..." Because the fourth prince was much smaller in age and stature than Jia Lian, his hands were bound by Jia Lian. , it looked like he was completely captured.

Some of the Fourth Prince's guards almost couldn't help but draw their swords to save them, but they couldn't help but remember that the Fourth Prince and Jia Lian had always had a good relationship.

The fourth prince was adamant, "You don't need to beg him, I still don't believe it..."

The fourth prince struggled hard and looked like he was going to fight desperately. Jia Lian was not only afraid of spraining him, but also worried that the fourth prince in this state would hurt himself.

Therefore, he saw the opportunity, threw it away, took a few steps back, and immediately raised his hands and said: "As the saying goes, it is a crime to punish without asking. Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, wants to punish me. Please tell me the reason, and I will tie myself up by then." Please punish me, Your Highness Fourth Highness."

The fourth prince here rubbed his sore wrist and looked at Jia Lian after hearing this.

Xu Shi's two sneak attacks failed just now, but he was caught by Jia Lian, making him embarrassed to attack again.

But the anger in his heart could not be dissipated, so he said gloomily: "Master Marquis, Master Zhenyuan, you are very kind. Back then, my imperial grandmother insisted on marrying my imperial sister to you, but you refused to agree. Now you are better, no. Keep silent and let my imperial sister..."

The fourth prince glanced at the guards and entourage beside him, but at least he didn't say anything bad.

But how could Jia Lian not know that the fourth prince knew that Princess Zhaoyang was pregnant?Thinking about it from his perspective, if someone secretly made his own sister pregnant, he would definitely be more angry than the fourth prince.

Knowing that he was at fault, Jia Lian said frankly: "This fact is Jia Lian's fault, but I have decided to enter the palace today to ask His Majesty, the Princess, to marry Jia Lian.

If His Highness the Fourth Highness still refuses to relieve his anger, Jia Lian will let His Highness be beaten and never fight back. "

"is it?"

The fourth prince came over eagerly and looked Jia Lian up and down, as if thinking about where to start.

"stop!"

There was a shout from behind, and the fourth prince knew that it was his imperial sister who was chasing him even if he didn't turn around.

He felt aggrieved. What, the emperor's elbow was turned out too badly?

He thought that his imperial sister was already quite old, so it would be useless to be bored in the princess's mansion every day, so he made an appointment with a group of his relatives and princes' children for an outing outside the city.

For this reason, he also made special inquiries.He refused to invite anyone with bad reputations or bad looks, just in case his imperial sister could fall in love with someone, and to avoid her being obsessed with Jia Lian.

Who knew that after I had prepared so hard and came to invite her early in the morning, she would not give her any face.

Forget it if you don't give it. What's annoying is that people reading and drinking morning tea there early in the morning are not bored, but waiting for someone.

It's even more extreme now.

She was so afraid that she would beat her sweetheart, so she hurriedly chased her out, just to stop herself?

Huh, don’t even ask who bullied whom just now!
The more the fourth prince thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable and a little aggrieved.

Thinking of this, he really wanted to punch Jia Lian's handsome face.

Jia Lian saw the fourth prince's intention and quietly took a step back.

Princess Zhaoyang came to the two of them. She first looked at Jia Lian to make sure that he was fine, and then said to the fourth prince: "Didn't you say that you have invited many of your relatives to play outside the city? Why don't you go?"

"I am not in a hurry!"

The fourth prince hated him, and then loudly said to Princess Zhaoyang: "Sister, please don't be deceived by him. He can't let go of his first wife at all. It's not worth it for you to do this. You haven't even insulted our Tian family." If you lose your face, the Imperial Grandmother will be angry!"

Princess Zhaoyang didn't want to say anything more to the fourth prince at this time, so she just said: "You don't need to worry about my affairs. I will tell the emperor's grandmother about it."

"You, oh, you are so angry with me. I will go to the Imperial Grandmother to sue you."

The fourth prince stomped his feet, and when he turned around, he wanted to take the opportunity to kick Jia Lian, but Jia Lian dodged him, so he ignored him, walked away angrily, and rode away.

Looking in its direction, it turned out to be the imperial palace.

Princess Zhaoyang only glanced at it, then turned back and asked Jia Lian: "Are you okay?"

Jia Lian shook his head, "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, only cares for you and has no intention of hurting me."

Princess Zhaoyang laughed, and a feeling of happiness filled her heart.

In this world, you are very lucky to have a younger brother who cares about you and a man you like by your side.

Jia Lian despises Princess Zhaoyang's smile the most, because it makes her grace even more gorgeous.

Resisting the urge to hold her in his arms, Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's get in the car."

"Ah."

Princess Zhaoyang nodded, took Jia Lian's arm very naturally, got into the Jia family's carriage, and then went to the palace.

In the south study room, Emperor Ning Kang was practicing calligraphy on a daily basis.

When he heard the eunuch report that the eldest princess and Marquis Zhenyuan had met, he frowned and asked, "Did they come together?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

Emperor Ning Kang stopped talking. After a while he threw down his imperial pen and said coldly: "Let them come in."
