Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

The Fourth Prince was very understanding. When he saw Huimin praising him, he cooperated humbly.

"The Emperor's father has always been diligent. The former Emperor Mafa also loved reading since he was young and never put down his books. Naturally, I want to learn from my father and Mafa."

Huimin smiled slightly, saying nothing, and thought to herself:

"Kangxi's sons began to review their lessons at Yinshi (3 to 5 a.m.), studying for 15 hours a day. They started at the age of six, and their vacation each year was only six days."

"When I was in high school, I studied fourteen or fifteen hours a day, so I know how hard it is. And these princes have been studying day after day for ten years."

Huimin looked at the Fourth Prince in front of her and encouraged him:

"It is good for Fourth Prince to learn from the Holy Ancestor and the Emperor. I believe that your diligence will not be inferior to that of the Emperor in his past."

Huimin looked at the Fourth Prince gently and said, “Study hard, kid.”

But when I think about the possibility that the baby in my belly will also face such high pressure in the future, I can't help but feel heartbroken.

The Fourth Prince loves his own child and he works hard for him, but Huimin responds with a smile. How can she not feel sorry for her own child if he will be like this in the future?

But when the Fourth Prince heard Huimin's words, he became even more excited and energetic.

"Hongli certainly lived up to the expectations of the virtuous lady."

The Fourth Prince looked at Huimin and thought that the adoptive mother he had found was great.

If only I could promise myself now.

But... the Fourth Prince secretly glanced at Huimin's belly.

Huimin noticed his eyes, but did not show any defensive movement, and still looked gentle and kind.

But after seeing the look in the Fourth Prince's eyes, An Lingrong moved slightly, so that she stood in front of Huimin's left side, gently protecting her belly.

An Lingrong's seemingly casual movement and inconspicuous sideways movement would not arouse the Fourth Prince's suspicion.

However, Xia Dongchun disliked the Fourth Prince.

Although he didn't say anything bad to her, his face was cold as ice.

She is used to hating someone and never hides it.

But Xia Dongchun knew that she couldn't embarrass the Fourth Prince directly. After all, he was the Emperor's own son. It would be fine for her to go against him, but now that she was with Huimin, she couldn't make enemies for Huimin.

Xia Dongchun curled her lips and secretly tugged at Huimin's sleeve, implying that she didn't like the Fourth Prince.

Huimin was also helpless. Although she knew what Xia Dongchun meant, she couldn't just ask him to leave.

I could only hook Xia Dongchun's hand with my fingers to comfort her.

For my sake, just bear with it.

Xia Dongchun had no choice but to turn his head away and pretend to appreciate the scenery, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Huimin sensed what Xia Dongchun meant and also looked at the Fourth Prince.

"Brother, do you want to join us?"

The Fourth Prince wanted to agree immediately.

But Xia Dongchun said:

"Fourth Prince, you should study hard. It's getting hot near noon, and we are ready to go back."

One of them played the good cop and the other played the bad cop. One pretended to keep the person while the other drove them away. They worked together perfectly.

The Fourth Prince was not unable to read the hint. He knew that Concubine Chao was always domineering, but she came from a good family. The Emperor also had this person in his place, and she was on good terms with Concubine Xian.

If the Fourth Prince wants Concubine Xian to accept him, he cannot offend the noble ladies in the court who are on good terms with him.

The Fourth Prince said goodbye on his own initiative.

"My virtuous lady, it is almost time for lunch. I will take my leave."

Huimin also said goodbye politely.

Looking at the Fourth Prince's departing back, Huimin turned her head indifferently, then looked back at An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun with a smile.

Actively said:

"Shall we go back to Hanyue Tower?"

Xia Dongchun looked around and there was no outsider.

He complained quietly:

"He's finally gone. Let's leave quickly too. Everything has been ruined by this guy."

The three of them returned to Hanyue Tower. Xia Dongchun sat down on the couch, leaning against the backrest comfortably, and greeted the two of them like a host.

"Hurry up and sit down, Ruyi, quickly bring the ice basin and put it there."

Seeing Ruyi's puzzled look, Xia Dongchun took charge of the operation himself.

"That's it."

Xia Dongchun directed, "If you put it there, it won't be too cold, and it can also bring some coolness to your queen. I have observed it several times."

Xia Dongchun was very proud. Although he was considerate, he also deliberately showed his familiarity with Hanyue Tower.

He gave An Lingrong a look that said, "I understand, I understand. You understand, right?"

But An Lingrong was indeed not as familiar with Hanyue Tower as she was, and with this, Xia Dongchun finally turned the tables.

After the three of them were seated, Xia Dongchun started to complain:

"Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is up to. Even I can see the Fourth Prince's evil ambitions."

"He's too anxious to find a foster mother for himself."

Xia Dongchun gulped down a big bowl of sour plum soup.

"This is good, delicious."

Then he said:

"But why does the Fourth Prince stare at you every day?"

Although Xia Dongchun knew that the Fourth Prince was keeping an eye on Huimin's whereabouts every day, most likely because he wanted to find a foster mother for herself, but Huimin... wasn't she pregnant?

Huimin was just about to explain to Xia Dongchun that even though she was in the palace, she still had to teach her these things slowly.

An Lingrong was the first to speak, and although her tone was disdainful, she still answered Xia Dongchun's questions and resolved their doubts.

"Sister Min has a good family background and is also favored by the Emperor. She is naturally a good choice. After all, the Fourth Prince wants to increase his status and choose a favorite concubine as his mother."

"Among the current young concubines, Sister Min and Concubine Lan have the best family backgrounds. And Fu Cha Peiyun has a prince..."

Xia Dongchun was not happy about this, "What? We are pregnant too..."

An Lingrong interrupted her speechlessly:

"But we don't know whether the baby in Sister Min's belly is a boy or a girl. Having more established princes is also a guarantee. The Fourth Prince has this ambition and will give it a try as soon as there is a glimmer of hope."

That makes sense, but Xia Dongchun felt something was not right when he heard it.

"He had a good plan. When he was born, no one in the palace wanted him. Having such a son would not make the emperor think highly of him, but would make him despise him."

"He must have known about this for so many years. He just saw Huimin as kind and a good person, so he wanted us to take on this hot potato."

An Lingrong rarely refuted Xia Dongchun, but instead responded:

"Yes, this Fourth Prince... But I heard that he also contacted Wanpin and was very hesitant."

Xia Dongchun was shocked when she heard this, "Wanpin? What does he mean? He is making plans. What does this mean? If he comes again next time, I will kick him out."

It is one thing that she doesn't want the Fourth Prince to come into contact with Huimin, but it is another thing that the Fourth Prince secretly comes into contact with Zhen Huan.

They both think Huimin is the best, and they both hate the Fourth Prince comparing Huimin and Zhen Huan.

Instead, the two were filled with righteous indignation and formed a united front to criticize the Fourth Prince.

Huimin was stunned. Is this the power of people they hate?

The Fourth Prince made Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong stand together to confront others.
