"call out--"

A young man was walking on the road, and before he even stepped onto the grass by the Spring Pond, he was hit in the face by a kite with a broken string.

The guards behind the young man hurried forward and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

He reached out and took the kite down, examined it carefully, shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Guard Jiying looked up at the sky. Kites were flying all over the sky. He thought it was common for kite strings to break. It was probably an accident.

Ke Ming's eyes did not leave the kite. This was a goldfish-shaped kite, and it was painted differently from any he had ever seen. The colors painted by others were in distinct layers, but the one in his hand was just painted red.

I don't know if it's because the owner's painting skills are not good or he has no patience, but the coloring makes this kite look ugly among the colorful kites, which is quite special.

Ke Ming ordered: "Check whose child this is."

There were quite a few children moving about on the grass, and it was not impossible that those were their kites.

"Yes."

Jiying responded and was about to take the kite from him when he heard a clear and pleasant voice from the front: "Eh? There! My kite is there——"

It was the voice of a young woman.

Ke Ming and Ji Ying looked over.

A beautiful girl in red clothes came running towards them, followed by a pair of maids and two guards.

Ke Ming was slightly stunned.

The wind is gentle, blowing across my face with the freshness of willow branches, just like a willow leaf falling into the lake, causing slight ripples.

His heart moved and his throat felt slightly itchy.

Shang Tingli ran to him and stood still. He adjusted his breathing for a few times before smiling at him: "Excuse me, did this gentleman pick up my kite? Could you please return it to me? Reward is not a problem."

When you take a closer look, it's amazing.

Her kite actually flew into the enemy's face!

Shang Tingli gritted his teeth secretly to prevent himself from losing expression. How come he picked up his kite? It turned out that enemies always come together.

At this time, she had never met the Fourth Prince. Logically, she shouldn't have recognized Ke Ming.

However, Ke Ming really didn't recognize her.

Ke Ming handed the kite to her readily, smiling gently: "It turned out to be your kite, I was just thinking of returning it to its original owner."

It turns out that such a special kite was not made by a child, but by such a beautiful girl.

He whispered, "As for the reward..."

"I'll pay for her."

A young man's voice interrupted him at the right time.

The smile on Ke Ming's face froze for a moment, then he turned to look at the person who came. The young man walked slowly and came behind the beautiful girl in three or two steps, then stood beside the girl. To his shock, he put his arm around the girl's shoulders in a familiar manner.

【What is this for? 】

Shang Tingli was also extremely surprised and couldn't help turning her head to look at the young man who had his arm around her shoulders.

It was Ke Xin who was following her slowly.

[Why are you taking advantage of someone who is doing nothing? Are you sick again? ]

Ke Xin ignored her shock, met Ke Ming's inquiring eyes, let go of his hand, bowed to him, and smiled at him: "Thank you, Brother Jihua, she and I are husband and wife, I will pay for finding the kite."

Ke Ming was stunned.

After a while, he seemed to be in disbelief and said, "Xingchen, are you married to this girl?" He glanced at Shang Tingli with a cryptic look, and then he noticed that she had a woman's bun on her hair. "So she is my brother's sister-in-law."

Ke Xin said: “Yes.”

He turned his head to Shang Tingli and said, "This is Brother Jihua, you can just call him Fourth Prince."

"Greetings, His Majesty the Fourth Prince." Shang Tingli bowed to Ke Ming.

[I know he is the Fourth Prince, your master.]

Ke Xin: “…”

The following words are not necessary, right?

Ke Ming still had a smile on his face, acting like a gentleman, "Thank you for your courtesy, sister-in-law."

Shang Tingli just smiled.

Ke Ming said: "No need for reward, it's just a matter of convenience."

"How can this be done?" Ke Xin said firmly, "We can't let Brother Jihua suffer any loss."

Ke Ming smiled and said, "I just happened to pick up my sister-in-law's kite. Xingchen, you are being too polite to me if you say that."

"This……"

Ke Xin frowned and thought for a while, then finally agreed: "Okay then."

[Sure enough, he is the lackey of the Fourth Prince. 】

Shang Tingli muttered something secretly, but Ke Xin pretended not to hear and looked at Ke Ming in confusion: "Why is Brother Jihua here? Why didn't you bring Zhiyuan with you?"

Ke Ming's eyes darkened slightly, but he smiled: "Come over and join in the fun. I asked Ji Feng to buy the kite, it should be here soon."

"I see."

Ke Xin smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shang Tingli thanked him again and took the opportunity to say goodbye. "Now that I have found my kite, I will go back first." He bowed again.

There was no reason for Ke Ming not to let them go, so he nodded and watched them leave.

Although she had retrieved the kite, Shang Tingli was not in a good mood. Now that Ke Ming was going to fly a kite at Chunchibin, she gave up her original idea. Therefore, she did not go back with the kite, but left from this road.

When leaving, Ke Xin still held her shoulders and held her in his arms as he walked away.

This man was always a little moody, so Shang Tingli didn't struggle to break free, and she had no intention of paying attention to these things at the moment.

[Why did the Fourth Prince suddenly come to Chunchibin? He definitely didn't come to see Ke Xin, and he didn't even say anything. ]

Ke Xinyi had no intention of listening to her thoughts. Thinking of the scene he had seen before, his eyes unconsciously revealed a coldness.

There was something wrong with the way Ke Ming looked at her.

Like a hunter eyeing his prey.

If Ke Ming was really interested in his Crown Prince's Consort, based on the way Ke Ming treated his family, in Ke Ming's mind, his family would probably die in an even more ugly way.

"Who do you think is most likely to become the fourth prince's consort?"

Shang Tingli: “Ah?”

【What did you say? 】

[Who is most likely to become the fourth prince's consort? ]

Shang Tingli's eyes widened when he heard this, and subconsciously acted as if he was rebelling against his superiors. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, which felt warm and cool, a normal temperature, not a fever.

[I don't have a fever, why are you suddenly asking such questions? 】

[Also, you are a real failure as the lackey of the Fourth Prince. Don't you know which daughter he has his eyes on? What do you mean by asking me? Should I be able to tell?]

[Yes, I really know. The future Fourth Prince's wife is the eldest daughter of the Bai family, the Imperial Household Department. Can I tell you this? ]

Ke Xin touched the tip of his nose.

He actually asked this question on impulse, and once he said it, it was impossible to take it back.

【Speaking of this matter...】

Ke Xin pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Shang Tingli leaned close to his ear and whispered mysteriously, "Do you think it is possible that His Highness the Fourth Prince is here to meet the future Fourth Prince's consort?"

After saying that she blinked.

[Does this count as criticizing someone's master in front of his lackeys? ]
