The second prince looked at Ye Qingyu in surprise, "You are already engaged, meet my sister-in-law." The second prince bowed.

Ye Qingyu bowed dignifiedly, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"No need to be polite."

Chang Ning asked the Second Prince curiously, "Second Brother, how long will you stay this time?"

"Not necessarily. Let's wait until after father's birthday." He said indifferently.

"Does the Concubine know you're back?"

The Second Prince said, "I wrote to Mother before and told her that I would return to Kyoto to see her in a few days."

With the second prince, summer vacation in Canghua Mountain is even more joyful.

On this day, several people made an appointment to catch fish and grill them.

The reason was that the restless Second Prince discovered that there was a river flowing down from Canghua Mountain not far from the palace. There were many fish in the river. He became interested and boasted about how good his grilled fish was.

Since they had nothing to do anyway, a few of them accepted the Second Prince's invitation and followed him early in the morning to go fishing in the river he mentioned.

Just as he was about to leave, Shen Mingxiu suddenly appeared with a smile, "I heard that the second prince was going fishing, why didn't he call me?"

The Second Prince frowned and said bluntly, "Aren't you busy? Every time I asked you to come out and play, you refused me."

Shen Mingxiu choked and said with a smile, "It's my brother's fault. Would you please go with Second Brother this time? Let me taste Second Brother's cooking skills."

The Second Prince was simple-minded and didn't think too much. He readily agreed, "Come if you want to. It will be more lively with more people."

Shen Yanli looked at Shen Mingxiu, who had been busy with something these days and suddenly came up to him, and a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

He and Ye Qingyu looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

Everyone followed the second prince through the woods and up the hillside, and rode for an hour before they arrived at the place he mentioned.

The river is not big, but the water is clear and the river channels on both sides are spacious. It is indeed a great place to play in the water in the hot summer.

The river water flows down from Canghua Mountain, and it is icy cold. Putting your hands in it can relieve the heat caused by direct sunlight.

"Wow, there really is a fish, and it's quite big."

Changning, who was playing in the river, saw a fish swimming leisurely in the clear water.

The second prince said proudly, "How could I lie to you? The fish here is delicious. I came here to taste it yesterday. That's why I asked you to come and play."

While he was tidying up the fishing rods and handing them to a few girls, letting them fish for fun, he tucked his robe into his waist, put on his shoes and socks, and went into the river, holding a harpoon, ready to catch fish with his bare hands.

Changning followed the Second Prince and watched him catch fish with great interest, not caring about her own fishing rod.

Shen Junchen followed the second prince into the river and wanted to follow his example to catch fish with a spear.

Ye Qingya said she had no expectations at all and was staring at her fishing rod intently.

Shen Yanli and Ye Qingyu sat together and glanced at Shen Mingxiu, who looked very interested.

"Your Highness, can you guess what he wants to do?"

Shen Yanli lowered his eyes to look at the fishing rod, not even glancing at Shen Mingxiu. "Nothing is better than a profit. It's just those things. As long as he doesn't hurt us, I'm not interested in knowing what he's going to do."

Ye Qingyu smiled but said nothing.

During the past half month, Shen Mingxiu has been very quiet, which is not in line with his nature. How could an ambitious prince stay here quietly? Moreover, the Fifth Prince himself is in Kyoto acting as regent on behalf of His Majesty. How many court officials have been won over by him during this period, and how many of his own people will he place in the court?

In this round, I don’t know if Shen Mingxiu did it on purpose or if he just couldn’t win, but he lost really miserably.

"Wow, Second Brother, you are so awesome!"

"There, that one is big!"

It was very lively over there at the fork fish market, and Ye Qingya was a restless person, so she went there at some point.

"Shen Junchen, can you do this? The Second Prince has already picked up two, how come you haven't picked up any?"

"Who says I can't do it? Just wait, I'll give you the biggest fork!"

The chirping laughter floated in the air, the sun shone on the river, making the ripples sparkle, and the breeze blew by, bringing the coolness of the river water. People who felt comfortable couldn't help but smile.

Ye Qingyu caught two small fish as long as her palm in half an hour of fishing, and the harvest from spearfishing was much richer.

The second prince was worthy of being a person who had been working outdoors for many years. He caught more than ten fish in just one hour. Compared with him, Shen Junchen was very pitiful. He worked hard for an hour and only caught one fish, which was better than nothing.

He held the not-so-big fish in his hands and showed it off to Ye Qingya. "Well, I promised you that I would let you eat the fish I caught myself!"

Seeing his look of "I'm so awesome, come on and praise me", Ye Qingya secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, but encouraged him, "Well, little prince, keep up the good work. If you have the first one, there will be a second one."

"That's right. I've never speared a fish before. This is my first time using this. By the time I get used to it, there won't be enough fish in this river for me to spear."

Here, the second prince had already changed into dry shoes and socks, and he made a fire himself and used the seasonings he brought with him to prepare the fish to be grilled.

Changning squatted aside and watched the second prince work, with admiration on her pretty little face.

At this moment, a sudden loud shout broke the warm and peaceful atmosphere.

"Fourth Prince, give me your life!"

Suddenly, three masked men in black flew out from the bushes and rushed towards Shen Mingxiu with murderous intent.

Shen Mingxiu tried to escape in a panic, but his foot slipped and he fell to the ground, screaming in fear, "Help! There's an assassin!"

At this time, Shen Mingxiu was not far from Shen Yanli. He fled in a panic and ended up running next to Shen Yanli and Ye Qingyu.

The assassins came specifically to kill him, so naturally they followed him. Seeing the three assassins flying towards them, Lin Feng and Mo Shu stood in front of them.

Shen Mingxiu looked frightened and panicked. When he fell and got up again, he was already caught up by the assassin.

"Fourth Prince, give me your life!"

The assassin's cold sword was about to fall on Shen Mingxiu, but Shen Mingxiu rolled over and dodged it in a panic.

Seeing an assassin rushing towards Shen Yanli, he shouted, "Third Brother, be careful! Kill me but don't touch anyone else!"

As he spoke, he pounced on Shen Yanli with exceptionally swift movements, intending to protect him with his body.

Before he could reach Shen Yanli, he suddenly saw Shen Yanli's wheelchair turn and be pushed away, and the second prince, who had been on the other side just now, appeared where Shen Yanli's wheelchair was just now, holding a fire stick that he used to stir the fire, and with a light blow, he knocked the aggressive assassin to the ground.

Shen Mingxiu stared at him with wide eyes.

Damn, he forgot that among them, apart from Shen Yanli, the second prince Shen Xu had the most powerful martial arts. Looking at his move just now, it seemed that he was even more powerful than three years ago!

Miscalculation!
