When he heard the name He Shu, his eyes flickered.

Coincidentally, he came out of the Hubu Yamen that day, and because he missed the meal, he went to Zhaixinglou to eat.

Because it was late, there were not too many customers in the restaurant.

Just as the fourth prince was quietly enjoying the food, there was suddenly the sound of kicking the door in the next room, and the faint sounds of men and women quarreling.

The fourth prince couldn't help but frown.

The boy next to me was smart and hurried out to check.

After a quarter of an hour, the boy came back, somewhat speechless.

He leaned close to the fourth prince's ear and whispered back.

"Are you saying that the seventh brother 'ran into' the princess's natal cousin in Zhaixing Tower, but was caught by the princess?"

If it were just Zhou Jin, the fourth prince wouldn't care too much.

Zhou Jin is a transparent prince who is not favored and has no foundation.

When he was in the palace, the fourth prince didn't even look at him.

However, Zhou Jin is different now. He has become the son-in-law of General He.

The He family has guarded the northwest for generations, holding a hundred thousand He family troops in their hands.

If we can win over such a powerful official with a lot of troops, the fourth prince's chances of winning will be greatly improved.

It can be said that after Zhou Jin got married, he changed from a transparent person who was not paid attention to, to becoming the favored target of several older princes!

The fourth prince naturally coveted the military power of the He family. He had been thinking about how to make friends with He Jing through Zhou Jin.

Now——

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, roughly having an idea in his mind.

"Go and investigate the matter clearly!"

For example, why did the seventh brother "encounter" the princess's cousin by chance?

Another example is whether the seventh brother and the princess are a good couple or a bitter couple!

The fourth prince has long been crowned king, and he has the full support of the Chengenhou Mansion.

Therefore, he has quite a few useful people.

Within two days, the past grudges between Zhou Jin, He Shu, and He Tan were known to the fourth prince.

Of course, in the eyes of the world, there was no personal relationship between He Shu and Zhou Jin, it was just a slight affection between a boy and a girl who had just begun to fall in love.

Even the fourth prince knew the long-standing friendship between He Shu and Zhou Jin, as well as Zhou Jin's deep love for He Shu.

They all came from that age. When they were young, they didn’t have many people to admire.

When the man and the woman get married, the past will turn into smoke.

If you just read the information, the Fourth Prince wouldn't think too much.

But, he was there that night.

Although there was no big fuss about "catching the traitor", the fourth prince, who was as careful as hair and sharp and thoughtful, still felt some clues.

"...This fourth girl from the He family is extraordinary!"

Not to mention disgust, the fourth prince remembered He Shu's name in his heart.

However, when the fourth prince learned that the queen wanted He Shu to be his concubine, the fourth prince felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not disgusting, but it doesn't have that kind of joy and satisfaction.

Anyway, it's just not comfortable.

However, the queen was right, He Shu was indeed an excellent choice.

She is the daughter of the He family, and He Jing and his wife like her very much.

But she was not He Jing's biological daughter, so neither the emperor nor other princes would be too afraid of her.

By accepting her, the fourth prince can get closer to He Jing.

Even if you can't get people to your camp, you can still get some help.

Not being afraid but still getting real benefits is the best choice.

However... the fourth prince swallowed hard and suppressed the awkwardness in his heart.

When he raised his face again, he put on a gentle and respectful smile, "My son will obey his mother's arrangements in everything!"

"Okay! It's your grandmother's birthday on the first day of next month, and the female members of the He family will also go there. Then, if you take a look, if you think it's okay, the Ai family will summon Ma to the palace!"

The queen was very satisfied with her adopted son's attitude and settled the matter immediately.

"Yes! I will obey your orders!"

The fourth prince hurriedly agreed, and said to the queen with admiration, "I have to let the queen worry about her son again!"

"You are my son, if I don't do it for you, who else can I do for you?"

The queen smiled lovingly, but her words were a bit pun-intended.

The fourth prince said nothing more, but smiled with gratitude.

The first day of September is the birthday of Mrs. Cheng’enhoufu.

Although it's not a whole life span, the old man has a queen's daughter, and the key is that she's not unpopular.

Therefore, almost all the dignitaries in the capital came to this ancestor's birthday banquet.

There is a lot of traffic outside the gate of Cheng'enhou's mansion, but inside the mansion is full of flowers, fragrant clothes, rich and lively.

He Shu was wearing the jewelry and coat given to her by Ma, and followed Ma quietly and obediently.

Ma actively introduced to the familiar female family members: "This is the fourth girl from our Hou family... she just got hairpins this year... she hasn't decided on a family yet..."

He Shu's pretty face was blushing, her head lowered, like a shy rose, both beautiful and reserved.

Is there anything else that the female relatives present don’t understand?

Some of the family backgrounds were similar to those of the He family, and there were female relatives of the younger generation in the family. Seeing the importance Ma paid to He Shu, and thinking about the rumors in the public, he became a little tempted.

They all pulled Ma to say some suggestive words.

While Ma was socializing, he was thinking about whether the other party's family background would satisfy He Shu.

He Shu:...I still want to marry into the royal family!

It's not that she doesn't know that being a royal daughter-in-law is difficult, but she doesn't want to be stepped on by He Tan for the rest of her life.

Although women in this era are not subject to too strict restrictions.

But if a woman wants to get ahead, it is impossible for her to do it on her own. She can only get married.

As for the royal family, it is probably the most noble family. Even if you are a concubine, it is better to go to a noble family and be the mistress.

For example, Ho Tan's wedding dress was embroidered with gold. Even the powerful and decent Ma family was not qualified to wear it.

He Shu admitted that when she saw He Dan's wedding dress that day, she became very ambitious.

She wants to become a master, and she wants to enjoy the best of everything in the world!
