The wedding banquet was in full swing. Although the Ninth Prince was the protagonist today, many people focused their attention on the Fourth Prince.

The reason is simple. Ever since the Eighth Prince's lineage fell into decline, the Fourth Prince's reputation has skyrocketed, and everyone wants to make friends with him in advance.

Previously, many people were worried that the rumor in the capital that the Fourth Prince was infertile would affect Kangxi's decision-making. Now that the Fourth Lady and the Nian Concubine are both pregnant, there is no such worry.

The Fourth Prince endured the pain in his waist and forced himself to socialize with several ministers. The happier he smiled, the more pain he felt in his body.

He was filled with resentment towards Concubine De for her sudden affection for him - why did she choose to take a concubine at any other time for him, and cause him to be implicated and beaten.

He was so petty that he began to suspect that Concubine De did it on purpose and wanted him to be beaten at this time, preferably with bruises on his face, so that he could be embarrassed at the farewell party for the Ninth Prince, so that the Fourteenth Prince could receive the reward from the Emperor.

Snapped--

"Fourth brother, why do you look unhappy?" The Fourteenth Prince put his arm around the Fourth Prince's shoulder with a smile on his face. He did not use much strength, just ordinary strength.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Prince was now frail and injured, and this incident almost cost him half his life.

If an ordinary person suffered from the pain of dislocated lumbar bones, he would probably either scream in pain or faint on the spot. But the Fourth Prince was different. He could endure it!

Think about the throne that is so close at hand, and then think about the beatings I suffered over the years. This little pain is... nothing!

The Fourth Prince almost gritted his teeth and replied, "Fourteenth Brother, you are too worried. Today is the day of Ninth Brother's great joy. How can I not be happy?"

Even if I am unhappy, I will not let you know. You little brat, you still want to sue me? No way. The Fourth Prince thought darkly in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the Fourteenth Prince said "Oh" casually without any concern, and took the arm off his shoulder, saying, "Then I'll go get Ninth Brother first, Fourth Brother, you can have fun by yourself."

He left as soon as he said he would, leaving the Fourth Prince disheveled after suffering another severe injury to his waist.

The Fourth Prince's face looked cold, but he was furious inside, and he almost shouted: You did it on purpose!

On the other side, Wang Ruofu followed Honghui, walked past a group of princes and princesses, and stood beside Kangxi, to entertain the Mongolian prince who came from afar.

This move also let the ministers and royal family members know how much Kangxi valued Honghui, and they speculated that Kangxi considered making him the Fourth Beile because he liked Honghui.

"Once the Ninth Prince arrives at the grassland and officially marries your eldest daughter, I will be able to rest assured." Kangxi played with the magic weapon in his hand with a kind smile on his face, looking very approachable.

Mongolian Prince: "Your Majesty, I am extremely grateful for your kindness and your regard for my daughter."

After Kangxi said a few polite words, the Mongolian prince changed the subject and said, "But speaking of my eldest daughter, she is as capable as any man."

"Whether it's horseback riding, archery, or wrestling, he's one of the best among the men on the grassland, and he's defeated no more than one hand away."

"Oh?" Kangxi initially thought that the Mongolian prince was just an introduction to the ninth prince's marriage partner, and wanted to praise him a few words, but he suddenly remembered why the ninth prince was sent to marry, and he was instantly awakened.

Now the Ninth Brother can’t even beat the Fourth Brother’s wife who grew up in the capital. Will she be beaten again if she marries into the grassland? Then my face will be... No!

Kangxi smiled more amiably and began to preach: "Although they grew up on horseback, it is still beautiful for women to be gentle and submissive, and it is better for them to support their husbands and raise their children."

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I cannot agree with it." The Mongolian prince curled his lips and cursed you, Old Deng, secretly, don't even think about letting him give up the position of leader like this.

"In my tribe, men and women are the same. As long as women are better than men at riding, shooting and hunting, then there is nothing wrong with men staying at home to take care of their wives and children."

Kangxi's expression almost couldn't hold back. If he let the ninth son take care of the wife and children, then his son would have married in vain.

The two of them insisted on their own opinions and started arguing about who would be the head of household affairs after marriage, and neither of them would give in.

Wang Ruofu felt her face was almost frozen from smiling. She still didn't understand what Kangxi and the Mongolian prince were arguing about during the day. She secretly complained: People only say that women quarrel when they get together, but it is obvious that men quarrel even more when they get together.

So much can be said about such a small matter.

After listening for a while, Wang Ruofu couldn't pretend anymore and interrupted, "Your Majesty, and the Mongolian prince, don't ruin the harmony on such a happy day. Harmony brings wealth."

"Then you say it!"

Wang Ruofu: “…” What did I say? I didn’t understand anything.

The two people who had just been arguing with each other turned their heads to look at Wang Ruofu, both with murderous looks on their faces.

Li Dequan, who was serving nearby, closed his eyes and mourned for Wang Ruofu in his heart. He thought that even the Fourth Lady would be in trouble this time. It was obvious that the Emperor was angry.

"Fourth son's wife, you tell me, should the man be the breadwinner or the woman be the breadwinner?"

Kangxi stared at her with a pair of angry eyes, as if he would roll up his sleeves and hit her if her answer made him unhappy.

"Yes, Fourth Lady, you might as well tell me what you think. I have heard that Prince Honghui is very talented, and I think his mother would not be an ignorant woman." The Mongolian prince responded.

The look he gave Wang Ruofu was filled with a bit of contempt and disdain that he thought was well hidden, completely unlike what he had just said, that men and women were the same.

Honghui also stood up and protected Wang Ruofu behind him, with a worried look in his eyes.

Wang Ruofu looked puzzled. After thinking for a while, she said bluntly, "Whether it's the housekeeper or the family, they can't do without money. So whoever can make money should be the boss."

"You..." Kangxi pointed at Wang Ruofu in surprise, then pulled his finger back to touch his head, but touched his hat instead. He then laughed, "You said it very well!"

When it comes to making money, who can compare to Lao Jiu? Why didn't he think of this just now? It must be because he has been so angry with these stupid sons during this period that his brain is not working well anymore.

"As the saying goes, having enough food and clothing is the key to success." Kangxi's face was no longer gloomy, and he looked at the Mongolian prince with a smile and pride. "Although hunting can be done, it is a bit slow and it is easy to get injured."

"If there are other better ways, it should be given to those who are capable."

The Mongolian prince didn't dare to get angry with Kangxi, so he glared at Wang Ruofu to vent his anger. His face looked ferocious and terrifying, like the bandit that the ladies of noble families were afraid of.

It was obvious that he was picking on the weak and took this grudge against Wang Ruofu, trying to scare Wang Ruofu and make her cry in public.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ruofu only had the appearance of Yixiu's beauty, but was actually a reckless and aggressive person. After being glared at, she glared back and shouted in a loud voice.

"Why are you glaring at me? Did I say anything wrong?"
