The prince doubted life after and then wanted to be willful.

  Specifically, after leaving the brothel, he didn't return to the palace, but instead went to the villa to find Fourth Master.

  Actually, Fourth Master had already thought it through and was going to find the Crown Prince tomorrow... After all, since the Crown Prince has returned to the palace, not going to see him would be impolite.

  Who would have thought? The prince arrived first?

  At that time, Ye Zao was in the front yard. She had recovered a lot and could walk on the ground for a while, so she stayed with Fourth Master in the yard.

  Fourth Master reads books, she strolls around at will.

  The crown prince quietly entered the village, shooting guns without warning...

  He didn't allow anyone to report, and in the end, the few eunuchs who followed him in all had a look of despair.

  Fourth Master was stunned and hastily said: "Congratulations, Your Highness!"

  Ye Zao was even more stunned, so she saw the prince? Goodness gracious, she couldn't kneel down, not even a proper bow...

  He slightly bowed his waist: "Your humble servant pays respects to Your Highness."

  "Fourth Brother, what's wrong with your little beauty?" The prince asked with a smile.

  "Yè shì, you go back first." Fourth Master turned his head and took a glance at the embarrassed Yè Zǎo.

  Then added: "See you off."

  These three words have a profound meaning, Su Peisheng didn't go himself, but instead had Su Wanfu go.

  Su Wanfu also understood that this was what they meant by "supporting each other", after all, Ye Niang had brought a maid with her today.

  This person is still not well, don't hurt him again.

  Ye Zao also wants to hurry up and leave, but his body doesn't allow it.

  It can only be moved slowly step by step, and after a long time, the lower back hurts badly.

  He walked straight until they couldn't see him anymore, and only then did he break out in a cold sweat: "It's no good, I'll hide for now and go later, it hurts too much."

  Su Wanfu was in a good mood: "Miss, you rest."

  The prince sat in the place where Fourth Master had just been sitting: "Old Four, you've always been a cold and unfeeling person, but now you have a woman you like? And she's a beauty."

  The crown prince smiled and said.

  Fourth Master was somewhat embarrassed: "Thank you, Second Brother."

  Since the prince is pulling a long face, he can't be too serious about it.

  "In the backyard of Second Brother's place, there used to be a woman named Zhen, do you remember?" The Crown Prince asked after taking the tea handed over by Yu He and taking a sip.

  Fourth Master was taken aback: "My brother... I really don't remember."

  "I don't remember either, she was just a concubine of low birth. Not someone who entered through the imperial selection process. At that time, I quite liked her." The crown prince smiled vaguely.

  Fourth Master was somewhat perplexed, why did the Crown Prince mention women to him today?

  But didn't ask, just listened.

  But the young master didn't say anything else and asked instead: "Fourth Brother, have you ever been to a brothel?"

  Fourth Master's face turned black: "My brother didn't..."

  "Haha, it's fine if not. Today I went to the Hundred Flowers Building alone and just took a look. Haha, alright, Fourth Brother, I only went to take a look, don't use those grand principles to lecture me." The Crown Prince smiled and shook his head.

  Fourth Master responded with a "yes", and his inner doubts deepened even more.

  "I came here alone, just wanting to take a stroll. I won't be going back today." The prince put down his teacup and covered it again with a clang.

  Then he stood up: "Come on, let's go horse racing, brothers."

  Although Fourth Master was full of doubts, he could only follow the Crown Prince's orders.

  After getting up, he said to Su Peisheng: "Go and tell Fu Jin that the prince has arrived and will be staying overnight. Tell her to make arrangements."

  In the main hall, Madame Fu hastily replied.

  After some thought, I didn't call Li and just started busy arranging things myself.

  Fourth Master and Prince went to the horse racing, Fourth Master lost.

  It's not that Fourth Master deliberately let the Crown Prince win, but rather the Crown Prince's horsemanship is indeed better than Fourth Master's.

  But what surprised Fourth Master was that he was actually left far behind by the Crown Prince today!

  Never had before.

  The crown prince rode on horseback, laughing loudly: "Refreshing! There hasn't been a time as refreshing as this for a while!"

  Fourth Master just smiled wryly, but in his heart he felt that the Crown Prince seemed to have changed suddenly, as if something had been released from his mind.

  It's all gone...

  Back at the Zhuangzi, Su Peisheng had already prepared the accommodation, and Furen had also prepared food.

  In the front yard, Fu Jin came in full dress and saw the prince bowing down: "The concubine wishes the prince a good health, the prince is auspicious."

  "Get up, siblings." The prince said with a slight raise of his hand.

  After sitting down, they started having lunch, and the dishes arranged by Fu Jin were exceptionally sumptuous.

  There were eighty-eight dishes.

  At first, the prince was smiling, but later on, there was only a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

  The crown prince is no longer smiling, and naturally the fourth master cannot smile either.

  The lady was even more nervous, afraid that the dishes at the villa would not be as good as those in the palace, and the more she tried to make things right, the more awkward the atmosphere became.

  Finally, after finishing a meal, Fu Jin hurriedly bid farewell and left.

  After the banquet was over and they had drunk their tea, the Crown Prince smiled: "Fourth Brother, your consort is good, but... she lacks a bit of flavor. She's too proper."

  Fourth Master smiled wryly. In his heart, he truly had all sorts of feelings.

  He didn't want to admit that his Fu Jin was no good, nor did he want the Crown Prince to say such things about his Fu Jin.

  But in my heart, I'm also quite disappointed...

  On such an occasion, the prince is here to relax his mind. You can prepare a table of home-cooked dishes or something more exquisite, just a dozen or so dishes will do.

  What does it mean for there to be dishes at a banquet in the imperial palace?

  Fortunately, the prince was just joking and didn't mean anything else.

  Having said that, he went to play chess with Fourth Master.

  Fourth Master and Crown Prince, playing chess is indeed a match made in heaven, and they have been engrossed to the point of complete darkness.

  The next day, it was already past breakfast time, but the prince still refused to get up.

  Fourth Master is starving to death, just waiting for Young Master.

  I'd better eat something first then.

  The crown prince got up and saw the fourth master waiting, smiled and said: "I haven't slept so well in many years, it's really comfortable. Alright, you don't have to accompany me today, I'll return to the palace. You stay for a few more days, it's getting hotter."

  As he spoke, he took Song Bao and left.

  The fourth master wanted to stay but couldn't, so he had to see him off.

  The crown prince rode his horse and whipped it forward, until his back figure could no longer be seen, before the fourth master withdrew his gaze.

  In Fourth Master's eyes, apart from confusion, there was even a hint of understanding.

  The Crown Prince's life has never been easy, has it?

  Apart from the enviable status of being called "brothers", and the doting love of the Emperor...

  But how much more of the emperor's favor can he have? In recent years, the Prince of Zheng has been everywhere, and the crown prince has become increasingly unhappy.

  I suppose he didn't want to return to the palace after all? Unfortunately, one has to go back eventually.

  "Master, Madam is inviting you." Su Peisheng said hastily as he saw Fourth Master turn his head.

  "Tell her, I'm busy, some other day." Fourth Master said calmly.

  He's in no mood to see his wife now.

  Su Peisheng let out an "ai" and went to respond.

  According to Fourth Master's words, Madame Fu could only respond with a "yes". In her heart, she knew that Fourth Master was not satisfied with her performance yesterday.

  But she really didn't know what to do, the prince had arrived, what else could be done? This was the Zhuangzi's place, not the palace, and she had already presented all the good things...
