After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Master, they split up at the fork in the road ahead. One group went to the left, the other went to the right, and the remaining five people took the middle road to the capital."

Five people? It seems that these Xiongnu soldiers are the relatives of Princess Gao Li and others.

"I remember that Fourth Brother's villa seems to be not far from here?" Xiao Minshen remembered.

"Yes, it's about ten kilometers ahead." Mo Yi replied.

"Let's go there instead." Xiao Minshen pulled Shen Yunjin up and got on the carriage.

The little tiger suddenly felt that he was being held in a different embrace and was very surprised. When he looked up, he saw Jinzhi's familiar smiling face and he waved his fists happily.

"Why don't we go back?" Shen Yunjin asked Xiao Minshen after getting on the carriage.

They were riding in a horse-drawn carriage and were walking at the back, so they would definitely not encounter the Huns.

"There is only one way back to the capital. We just met Princess Gao Li this afternoon. If her family finds out that they didn't run into us along the way, they will know that we saw their cavalry."

Xiao Minshen patiently explained, "Fourth Brother is on vacation in the other courtyard these two days. We will stay there for half a day and return to Beijing tomorrow."

Shen Yunjin nodded, "Are the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess both in the other courtyard?"

Xiao Minshen had an indescribable expression on his face.

"This courtyard is where Fourth Brother keeps his concubines. I only found out about it when I stumbled upon it by accident."

The fourth prince actually had a mistress? Wasn't the women in the palace enough to satisfy him? Shen Yunjin's eyes widened.

Xiao Minshen slapped her on the head in a funny way.

"Fourth sister-in-law is quite powerful, and the concubines in Fourth Brother's room are all around her."

"And Fourth Brother's princess consort and concubine were personally chosen by Concubine Yi."

Shen Yunjin understood that all the people in the harem were either the ones that Concubine Yi wanted or the ones that the princess wanted, but not the ones that the Fourth Prince wanted.

No wonder the Fourth Prince wants to keep his beauty in a golden house.

"Isn't he afraid that the Fourth Consort will find out?"

"Fourth brother probably wants to keep it a secret for as long as possible."

Xiao Minshen said indifferently that his relationship with his brothers was average.

After running for half an hour, the carriage finally arrived in front of a house.

"What wind brings fifth brother here?" The fourth prince Xiao Minlie walked out of the house quickly.

He put his hand on Xiao Minshen's shoulder with a teasing smile on his face.

"What? Fourth brother doesn't welcome fifth brother?" Xiao Minshen raised his thin lips.

"Of course not. Your coming to Fourth Brother's place immediately makes me feel more prosperous. Let's go in and talk."

When they walked into the yard, they saw a delicate woman looking at them with a smile on her face.

She slowly bent down and saluted to everyone.

"I greet the Fifth Prince, Concubine Shen."

The Fourth Prince waved his hand and told her to go in quickly.

She smiled softly at the Fourth Prince, then turned and went inside.

"There are no rules at all. Please don't be offended, fifth brother." The fourth prince pretended to be indifferent.

"Fourth brother is the one who knows how to enjoy life." Xiao Minshen had an expression that showed you and I know what's going on.

The Fourth Prince immediately took Xiao Minshen to visit his villa as if he had found a soulmate.

Shen Yunjin sat down at the stone table beside the yard.

The woman from before came over with a cup of tea and placed it on the table.

"Tea, please."

Shen Yunjin smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.

After a while, the Fourth Prince and Xiao Minshen came over from the yard next door.

"Brother, this place is not as good as your hot spring villa. I heard that you have renovated it. Can I invite you to come and have some fun? After all, our two families are so close."

"My fifth brother has renovated the villa and is preparing to open it to the public. As long as you pay, you can go and soak in the hot springs."

"Wow, Fifth Brother, when did you become so stingy? Do you have to charge money for Fourth Brother's visit as well?"

The fourth prince covered his heart with his hands, looking hurt.

Xiao Minshen said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Fourth brother, fifth brother is very poor, you know, we need to make money to support the children."

When Xiao Minlie heard this, sympathy showed on his face. Indeed, among the brothers, Xiao Minshen should be the poorest one.

From childhood to adulthood, their father gave various rewards to the other brothers.

Add to that various other sources of income and the share given by the palace, it is a considerable income.

Xiao Minshen had always been forgotten by the emperor, and it was a miracle that he could survive to this day.

"Okay, who says I'm your elder brother?" Xiao Minlie said generously.

"Fifth brother would like to thank fourth brother here." Xiao Minshen bowed to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince punched Xiao Minshen and said, "We are brothers, why should we say thank you or not?"

"It's rare for you to come here, fourth brother. Why don't you stay for a few more days before leaving?" The fourth prince handed the teacup from the table to Xiao Minshen.

"No, my fifth brother will leave early tomorrow morning." Xiao Minshen took a sip of tea.

"I was originally planning to rush back today, but the child is too young and there are too many female relatives, so I dared to disturb my fourth brother."

Xiao Minshen explained indirectly why he came to the villa.

A look of understanding flashed across the fourth prince's eyes.

"Then Fourth Brother will arrange for you to rest." The Fourth Prince waved his hand, and a man who looked like a butler came over.

After going through so many twists and turns that day, Shen Yunjin fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone prepared to set off back to Beijing.

The fourth prince came out riding a white horse.

"Fifth brother, Fourth brother will go back with you."

"Fifth brother, I am grateful to fourth brother for taking me in. Will you stay a few more days?"

"No, I have to go back and check, otherwise, the backyard of your fourth brother's house will catch fire." The fourth prince looked helpless.

"Fourth brother, how about riding in the carriage with fifth brother?"

"Forget it, your fourth brother doesn't like riding that woman's thing, he just likes riding horses."

Well, that ends the conversation.

In this way, the Fourth Prince rode on his horse and walked beside the carriage, chatting with Xiao Minshen from time to time.

"You said there are peach blossoms in your villa today?" The Fourth Prince didn't believe it.

It's summer now and the peaches are about to come out, so where can we find peach blossoms?

"How could Fifth Brother lie? Fourth Brother will know when he turns around. But it's only for these two days. It will probably turn into a peach in a few days."

"Then I'll take your fourth sister-in-law to see her later, so that she won't always complain about me not taking her out."

"That's great. Fourth sister-in-law has many girlfriends, so she will definitely like them. When the time comes, let her talk to them more, and then fifth brother will give her a big gift!"

"You are such a stingy person, your fourth brother didn't have a gift? But your fourth brother thought of taking your fourth sister-in-law first."

"Fourth brother will know when he goes there. He will never regret it."

Xiao Minshen smiled and didn't say a word.

Giving gifts to Fourth Sister-in-law is also giving face to Fourth Brother.

But if the gift is given to Fourth Brother, it may not reach Fourth Sister-in-law, and may even offend her.

The fourth prince pointed at Xiao Minshen and said, "Come out. I want to compete with you in horse riding."

Xiao Minshen walked down and rode on the horse that Fulu brought.

As the two were about to run, a horse ran towards them from the distance.
