The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

After Ming Huaixi and Caiyun walked away, they slowed down, walked to the street and began to walk slowly back to the inn.

"Princess, did the Fourth Prince do this on purpose?"

"Yes, but I just don't want to marry your princess."

"The Fourth Prince made a great sacrifice. He performed so poorly. If the princess had not cooperated with him, he would have been exposed long ago." Caiyun felt it was too painful to watch when she thought of the Fourth Prince's behavior.

Ming Huaixi saw a stall selling very interesting little clay figurines. They were not very delicate, but very vivid, and he was immediately attracted to them.

Among them was a pair of small clay figurines, which looked very cute. Ming Huaixi immediately decided to buy them!

After getting the pair of little clay figurines, Ming Huaixi felt much better and happily returned to the inn with Caiyun.

In the eyes of others, this meant that Ming Huaixi was very satisfied with the Fourth Prince and seemed to be determined to choose the Fourth Prince. For a while, it was rumored that Ming Huaixi was going to marry the Fourth Prince.

When Ming Huaixi heard this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Afterwards, Ming Huaixi went to Huicui Tower with the Sixth Prince to watch the literati reciting poems and painting.

"Princess Mingyue, I am honored to meet you. I wonder what you like, so I brought you my most treasured ancient Chinese book. Please study it carefully." The Sixth Prince said as he stood one meter away from Ming Huaixi and took out a book from his arms.

Ming Huaixi looked at the book and felt that it looked familiar. Knock! Wasn't this the book that the original owner had studied and used to ask Ji Ling questions when Ming Huaixi first came?

Ming Huaixi took the book and looked at the pages carefully. They were exactly the same!

Ming Huaixi had put the original owner's book in her study to cover dust a long time ago, and she didn't bring it with her on purpose for the marriage. Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince was quite good at giving gifts, and the one he delivered touched Ming Huaixi's...heart.

"Thank you for the gift, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. I will study it carefully in the future." Ming Huaixi attached particular importance to the last four words.

The Sixth Prince did not seem to have heard Ming Huaixi's sarcasm. "That's great. I hope the princess will treat it well."

Ming Huaixi: I’m so speechless. I’ll just put it in the bottom of the box when I get back.

Arriving at Huicui Building, the entrance is a hall with many calligraphy and paintings by famous artists. In the center is a platform used for literary competitions between scholars. Ming Huaixi arrived at the right time, as there were two people competing in literary competition, which was a contest in all aspects. There was a group of scholars standing below watching, and an old gentleman sitting nearby as the referee.

The Sixth Prince's eyes lit up when he saw someone competing in literary competition. He also did not forget to introduce Ming Huaixi, "Now the two people on the stage are competing in poetry. Later there will be a competition of classical Chinese and other literary genres. You and I are really lucky this time. I may not encounter such a competition even if I come here ten times before."

As he spoke, the Sixth Prince began to watch the literary competition attentively, and when he saw the exciting parts he shouted "good, good, good" a few times.

Ming Huaixi could roughly understand what was going on from the side. Those who could compete in literary criticism had to be familiar with a little bit of everything, and be very proficient in one or two of them, otherwise they would be embarrassed to go on stage.

Ming Huaixi read for a while, and when it came to the ancient Chinese literature contest, he couldn't understand it very well and felt a little bored. So he looked around and thought absentmindedly that this place where scholars gather is elegant. The Huicui Building really suits the taste of scholars. The whole building exudes a sense of elegance and also has a bookish atmosphere. The owner of the Huicui Building is really ingenious.

Literary duels are extremely time-consuming. One duel may take more than half a day or even a whole day. It is obvious that this duel cannot be ended in a short time.

Ming Huaixi was really bored. Seeing that the Sixth Prince was so engrossed in watching, he just called him. Then he took Caiyun to find the waiter of Huicui Tower to help introduce the place and started to visit Huicui Tower.

The second floor of Huicui Building is composed of elegant halls. Ming Huaixi followed the waiter passing by those elegant halls. From every occupied hall, there was the sound of stringed instruments, which made people feel comfortable just listening to it.

The waiter did not take them to the third floor, as there were private rooms on the third floor. Ordinary waiters were not allowed to go to the third floor to avoid offending important people. They had to be accompanied by a special person.

Ming Huaixi didn't make things difficult for the guy and just followed him downstairs. After walking around for a while, the two people who were competing in literary competition downstairs finally finished, and the Sixth Prince was talking to someone.

The Sixth Prince saw Ming Huaixi coming down and walked up to Ming Huaixi, "I'm really sorry this time, Princess. It was so rude of me not to take care of you." The Sixth Prince is still a very polite person.

"It doesn't matter. This princess has also visited the Huicui Tower and it has broadened her horizons." Ming Huaixi thought that it was a good idea for a few people to visit the Huicui Tower.

It was getting close to afternoon outside, and the Sixth Prince and Ming Huaixi did not stay in the building any longer. After the Sixth Prince sent Ming Huaixi back to the post station, he said goodbye. Originally, Ming Huaixi wanted to go back by himself, but the Sixth Prince felt that it was unreasonable. He wanted him to take back the people he brought out. Ming Huaixi did not want to argue about this matter. He just sent him back. It didn't matter.

After Ming Huaixi returned to the post station, he thought about what had happened in the past few days. It was obvious that the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince could not get married. They would not die if they got married, but they would probably go crazy once a day.

There are still the third prince and the seventh prince left. I have met the third prince before in Jingguo. He seems to be thoughtful and tactful, a good diplomat, and his personality seems stable. However, there is a desire for power in his eyes and he is a little ambitious.

Ming Huaixi said that this was not the best choice. Let's see what happened to the seventh prince in the end. Otherwise, we can only choose the third prince.

Before Ming Huaixi made a choice, he was already thinking about how to divert his attention if the third prince was really chosen in the end, how to make him give up the throne and just be a prince with some power, and so on.

The third prince also came to find Ming Huaixi to go out for fun, to visit the capital of Zhao State. There were some places Ming Huaixi had not been to, and the third prince introduced them to him one by one.

The Third Prince and Ming Huaixi were riding in a carriage, accompanied by their servants, strolling along the streets. Whenever they came across interesting places, the Third Prince would invite Ming Huaixi to get off the carriage and take a look.

At noon, he took Ming Huaixi to the most famous restaurant in Zhao State for dinner. His every word and action made people like him even more. After dinner, he took Ming Huaixi for a walk on the street for a while. When he saw that it was almost time, he sent Ming Huaixi back to the post station.

The third prince is indeed a thoughtful person. If Ming Huaixi had not seen the ambition in the third prince's eyes, he would probably have chosen him.

The Seventh Prince was a very busy man. It was reported that during the year since he entered the court, except for attending court every day, he would run out of the city. It seemed as if the capital could not accommodate him and he would disappear as soon as the court was over.

That day, Ming Huaixi was thinking about how to meet the Seventh Prince, and he happened to come to his house.

He was not quite the same as Ming Huaixi had imagined. The Seventh Prince seemed a little uncomfortable standing in front of Ming Huaixi.

The seventh prince Yang Xiuyuan nodded to Ming Huaixi and said, "Princess."
