After sending off the courteous eldest prince, Su Chuan said with a dull face, dissatisfied:

"The eldest prince spoke with great righteousness, but when the princess mentioned that she would report the matter of him sending the horse to His Majesty, he clearly looked like he had achieved his goal. Humph! He's still the eldest prince, but he's always thinking about his own little calculations."

Song Jinxiu smiled and pinched her little face. Although there were still few extra expressions on the child's face, the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in her eyes were much richer.

She said, "Who doesn't have their own little plans? Am I not also thinking about how to buy more horses? As long as it doesn't hinder us and your Majesty's rule, we don't care about their little plans."

Su Chuan kept silent with a stern face. He thought to himself: Master, what kind of tricks are these? Isn't buying horses for the soldiers in southern Xinjiang? When have you ever thought about yourself?

Yingchun watched the horses being led away and said worriedly, "We're running out of time. I don't know how many horses we can get together. Besides, I heard that the newly bought horses need to be trained before they can be used as military horses."

Song Jinxiu was not worried about the training of the horses. With the Kailing Pill, training these horses would be much more efficient and they would quickly adapt to fighting on the battlefield.

She looked at the sky, and suddenly her eyes turned, and she whispered to Su Chuan, "Go, I promise someone will send a horse over soon."

When Su Chuan heard his master's order, he tried to keep a straight face, but his eyes were shining brightly. He turned around and ran away.

Yingchun looked at Su Chuan's expression and realized that the princess must have some new idea.

She chased after Su Chuan happily and said, "Su Chuan, wait for me, let's go together."

Treasure Hunting Mouse Junjun flashed out of the space and said, "This is fun, I want to go too."

The little guy ran away like a gust of wind.

Here, Song Jinxiu instructed Aunt Chang: "Send someone to post the patriotic donation list at the gate..."

At the East Street Restaurant, the Third Prince had just sat down when he heard a voice say, "Master. The First Prince has sent ten fine horses to Princess Kangle's residence, saying they're for the soldiers fighting in southern Xinjiang. Princess Kangle is so excited she's planning to submit a memorial to the Emperor and even post a patriotic donation list. The First Prince is really in the spotlight this time."

"Master, how about we donate horses to Princess Kang Le as well? We can't let the eldest prince outdo us. If he donates ten horses, we can donate twenty, thirty, and we will be at the top of the list."

"Well, go do it." The man spoke unclearly, as if he was eating, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the fourth brother's voice.

Hearing this, the third prince frowned and winked at the guards.

The guards hurried out for a look.

The Third Prince asked, "Is it the Fourth Brother or the Seventh Brother?"

The guard said, "We haven't found any other princes, and there's no one else nearby."

Puzzlement flashed across the handsome face of the Third Prince, and he ordered his men, "Go and find out what's going on."

Seeing the Third Prince's guards slip away, Treasure Hunting Rat Junjun covered his mouth and laughed twice.

I didn't expect that I could imitate the voices of several people by chewing a walnut in my mouth.

At the gate of Marquis Cheng'en's mansion, Li Yicheng had just pushed the Fourth Prince out when he heard someone say, "I heard that Princess Kangle's mansion is buying fine horses at a high price. The eldest prince sent ten horses there, saying they were to donate to the soldiers going to fight in southern Xinjiang. Princess Kangle is very grateful..."

Li Yicheng and the Fourth Prince looked at each other.

Li Yicheng said: "Princess Kangle saved my life. Now she is going to southern Xinjiang to defend her country. We should show our gratitude.

Li Yicheng turned around and ordered the servants: "Let's see how many horses we can spare."

"Yes."

The fourth prince also said: "I also have a few good horses. This time, let's pool ours together. The ten horses that the eldest prince has are too few."

The two nodded and smiled, understanding each other tacitly.

The eldest prince came out of Princess Kangle's mansion in a good mood.

Using ten horses can win the favor of Princess Kangle and will definitely earn praise from my father.

Originally, he intended to marry Princess Kangle, and his royal aunt, who had always supported him loyally, also revealed this intention in the past two days.

But no one expected that Princess Kangle would volunteer to go to southern Xinjiang.

If he could accompany her at this time and spend time with her day and night along the way, it would be the best way to cultivate feelings.

But he couldn't leave the capital. The aunt said that this was a crucial year for him to be appointed crown prince, so he had to stay in the capital.

He came to deliver the horse today, and also to curry favor with her. Maybe when Princess Kangle returns from southern Xinjiang, they can continue their good story.

The eldest prince was walking on the road, fanning himself with a folding fan, when he suddenly heard someone talking.

"Go and see! The Third Prince is leading over twenty horses to Princess Kangle's residence to donate them to the soldiers heading to the southern border to fight.

It was such a grand ceremony that Princess Kangle was so moved that she wanted to post a patriotic donation list on a huge piece of red paper at the entrance of Princess Kangle's mansion.

"The Third Prince is truly a good prince who loves his country and his people. The Third Prince is the best." Someone else shouted.

The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, feeling very depressed!

What about the Third Prince being the best at loving his country and his people? If this were to reach my father's ears...

"Oh, you're out of touch. What are the Third Prince's twenty or so? I heard the Fourth Prince donated over thirty. The first place must be awarded to His Highness the Fourth Prince."

There were more than one or two people discussing this, and some even gathered together to whisper, "What do you think, if His Majesty knew that the Fourth Prince was so concerned about the country, would he choose a crown prince..."

The sound was getting farther and farther away, but the eldest prince's fists were clenched tighter and tighter.

This third brother is really against me in every way. And the fourth brother, a cripple, also wants to be in the limelight, but it's impossible.

As the eldest brother, he would not give his younger brothers the opportunity to show off.

The limelight of being number one must belong to you.

"Come here, go get all the horses of our guards. I don't believe I can't beat my third and fourth brothers."

There was a large red notice posted at the entrance of Princess Kangle's mansion, and Zhang Zihan was writing large gold-painted characters on it stroke by stroke.

After the third prince asked someone to inquire, he confirmed that his eldest brother had indeed given ten horses to Princess Kangle, and that Princess Kangle's stepfather, the top scholar, was even planning to post a honor roll.

Princess Kangle, who was younger than herself, showed her brilliance the moment she arrived in the capital. In just six months, she rose to the top of the official ranks.

A little girl who can call the wind and rain and influence the court, who is always serious and makes others look up to her, also has her short-sighted moments.

Are ten horses too many? No matter how rich or smart you are, you are still a country bumpkin.

Humph! Then today, I, the prince, will open your eyes.

So he ordered twenty-seven horses to be sent.

When Song Jinxiu heard that the third prince had come to deliver a horse, she knew that the fish had taken the bait.

She hurried out to greet him with a grateful look on her face.

Twenty-seven horses. Good, his own secret guard camp has been settled.
