After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible
Chapter 201 4 The Prince is Brought Back to the Palace
Zhen Huan blinked gently, her eyes sparkling with joy.
She replied in a gentle voice: "I just thought of someone, so I am happy in my heart!"
"Oh? Who is it? Can you tell me?" the emperor asked curiously.
"It's the Fourth Prince Hongli." Zhen Huan replied with a smile.
When the emperor heard the name of the Fourth Prince Hongli, his face instantly turned gloomy.
The appearance of the Fourth Prince had long become blurred in his mind. It seemed that since the Fourth Prince was born, the Emperor only took one look at him and then ignored him and abandoned him in the Old Summer Palace.
The Fourth Prince's biological mother was of humble origin. It is said that a son's status is determined by his mother. Without a mother of noble birth, the child will naturally not be valued. Moreover, the Fourth Prince's biological mother passed away early, and the Fourth Prince lived alone and helpless in the Old Summer Palace. However, he was very intelligent and could judge the situation and read people's expressions, so he was liked by Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.
The emperor did not have much impression of this son, nor did he want to have too much impression of him.
Because he believed that the existence of the Fourth Prince was a shame and a symbol of his punishment by the late emperor.
Therefore, he chose to forget the Fourth Prince in the Old Summer Palace and let him fend for himself.
However, Zhen Huan has a different view on the Fourth Prince. She thinks that although the Fourth Prince is in a difficult situation, he is smart and knows how to judge the situation. Such qualities are very suitable for the court and his future prospects are limitless.
Zhen Huan keenly noticed that the emperor's expression was a little gloomy, and she secretly thought about how to break this depressing atmosphere.
Then she suddenly had an idea and whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Fourth Prince has been living in the Old Summer Palace. I once met the Fourth Prince by chance. He is humble and polite, very smart, and very likable. After all, he is also your son. I just suddenly remembered him. Your Majesty asked me to tell you. Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
After hearing what Zhen Huan said, the emperor looked a little better, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly, and said in a heavy tone: "I really haven't seen the Fourth Prince for a long time. Now that you mention it, I remember that I have such a son."
Zhen Huan looked at the emperor's thoughtful expression and knew that she had successfully attracted the emperor's attention and thinking.
She smiled slightly and continued, "Your Majesty, although the Fourth Prince is in the Old Summer Palace, he is diligent and studious, and he is upright and kind. I think he will become a man of great achievements in the future."
Zhen Huan continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Your Majesty, I like the Fourth Prince. Why don't you keep him in my palace and raise him? He is not young anymore, and he should study with the Third Prince. They are both your sons, so you can't be partial."
"Hanhuan, you already have two children, Hongzhou and Lingxi. I don't want you to work too hard." The emperor said with concern.
Zhen Huan continued to explain: "The emperor has very few children. Now only the third prince Hongshi and the sixth prince Hongluo are raised in the palace. Let the fourth prince return to the palace and study hard. He will only be more helpful to the emperor in the future."
The emperor thought to himself: He does have too few sons, and compared to his father, it is really pitiful. Even if Concubine An and Concubine Hui both gave birth to princes, the children were still young. He is already old, and there will be more princes competing for the position of crown prince in the future. When he thought of Hongshi's dull appearance, the emperor was filled with melancholy. He could not recite an article smoothly after reciting it for several days, let alone have any unique insights. He was so wise, how could he give birth to such a mediocre third prince?
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh, "Alas..."
Seeing that the emperor did not reply to her and sighed, Zhen Huan asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? What do you think of my suggestion just now?"
The emperor was interrupted by Zhen Huan. He came back to his senses, smiled, looked at Zhen Huan and said, "Huan Huan is right. I think it's a good idea to bring the fourth prince to Yongshou Palace. In the future, he will go in and out with the third prince and receive careful instruction from the Grand Tutor."
Zhen Huan was delighted and quickly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the Fourth Prince and live up to Your Majesty's expectations." Her eyes were full of joy and gratitude, as if everything was going according to her plan.
Two days later, the emperor sent people to the Old Summer Palace to bring the fourth prince back to the palace and foster him in the Yongshou Palace.
When Prince Guo just received information from Zhen Huan that the Emperor wanted to bring the Fourth Prince back to the palace for education, he ordered people to escort the Fourth Prince back to his residence in the Old Summer Palace overnight, including Jiang Caiping.
Before leaving Qingliang Terrace, the Fourth Prince only asked Prince Guo for one thing, which was to give Jiang Caiping to him as a reward.
During the days that the Fourth Prince stayed in Qingliangtai, Jiang Caiping took care of his daily life personally.
He had become accustomed to Jiang Caiping's meticulous care for him, and even developed a different kind of emotion for her, causing ripples in a corner of his heart.
During their time in the Old Summer Palace, the relationship between the Fourth Prince and Jiang Caiping became increasingly close, and they spent many wonderful times together.
The Fourth Prince also took time to teach Jiang Caiping how to read and write, and Jiang Caiping carefully took care of the Fourth Prince's daily life.
They accompany each other, support each other, and grow together.
However, as time went by, the Fourth Prince gradually discovered that his feelings for Jiang Caiping had changed.
The emotion that was originally just dependence has become deeper and more complicated. He began to realize that he has special feelings for Jiang Caiping, but he dare not express it easily. After all, he is just a child and his understanding of love is still shallow.
At the same time, Jiang Caiping also noticed the change in the Fourth Prince's feelings towards her. She was very conflicted. On the one hand, she also had deep feelings for the Fourth Prince;
On the other hand, she was well aware of her low status and the huge gap between her and the Fourth Prince.
She was afraid that this relationship would bring trouble to the Fourth Prince, and was even more worried that it would affect his future.
Therefore, she has been deliberately keeping her distance and trying to suppress her feelings.
However, emotional matters are often beyond our control.
Although both of them tried hard to restrain themselves, their eyes, behavior and words still revealed that indescribable emotion.
Prince Guo also gradually figured out the clues, and he gave the choice to Jiang Caiping herself. After all, Jiang Caiping was the woman he had saved when he traveled around the human world, and he never treated her as a maid. In order to repay his kindness and because she had nowhere else to go, Jiang Caiping took the initiative to ask Prince Guo to keep her.
Prince Guo himself did not like having too many people serving him, so he kept Jiang Caiping in Qingliangtai. There were many other women who had similar experiences as Jiang Caiping, and they were also kindly taken in by Prince Guo and raised in Qingliangtai. They looked like maids on the surface, but each of them was very free, had a sense of propriety, and was very disciplined. However, as long as they wanted to leave, they could leave at any time.
