The fourth prince felt strange and couldn't help but ask Lu Chi: "Why didn't Li Mo come to the academy today? Could it be that he was sick?"
Lu Chi glanced at the fourth prince with a subtle expression.
The fourth prince raised his eyebrows in inquiry.
Lu Chi coughed, lowered his voice, and told the whole story: "... They were all skin injuries, but most of them were on the head and face. Li Mo couldn't go out to see people, so he had to take a few days' sick leave. He had to wait for his face to heal.
You can only come to the academy if you are swollen."
The fourth prince looked a little ugly. I don't know if he was angry with Li Mo for his nonsense, or because he was angry that Li Mo was defeated by the sixth princess!
"It's really useless!" The fourth prince said a few words with a gloomy face.
Lu Chi coughed again: "Actually, Li Mo still has something to ask of His Highness. He was shameless and begged me to ask His Highness on his behalf."
The fourth prince frowned: "What's the matter?"
Lu Chi also felt it was difficult to say anything, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Li Mo said that it was too embarrassing to lose at the hands of the Sixth Princess. If anyone asked, he would say that he had a fight with His Highness and was accidentally injured by His Highness. Please help cover it up."
"
Fourth Prince: "..."
Emotional Li Mo was beaten, and he had to take the blame!
The fourth prince's complexion was about the same as the bottom of a pot.
If the person interceding in front of him was not Lu Chi, but someone else, he would have been so frightened that his legs would tremble.
Fortunately, Lu Chi was familiar with the fourth prince's temper and had the guts to offer some words of comfort: "The sixth princess beat Li Mo. It's really not a good news to hear about this. Your Highness, just be aggrieved and accept this matter!"
The fourth prince snorted coldly but did not say a word.
…
This is considered acquiescence!
Lu Chi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when school was over, he made a special trip to Li Mansion to tell Li Mo about the matter.
"Thank you Ziyu!" Li Mo said with a grateful face: "From now on, whenever you have an assignment, I will be willing to fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
Lu Chi glared angrily at Li Mo, who was as swollen as a pig's head: "It's a good thing if you don't send me, how dare I let you go up mountains of swords and seas of fire!"
Li Mo smiled cheekily: "Based on our friendship, saying this is too outrageous. If you have something to do, I will never refuse. If I have something to do, how can you ignore it and not ask?"
Listening to these words, why is there something wrong?
Lu Chi looked at her suspiciously for a moment, and then asked, "You haven't given up on the Sixth Princess yet, right?"
It was difficult for Li Mo to squeeze out a coy smile: "Of course not. After being beaten to the ground last night, I completely surrendered at her feet."
Then, he made a bold statement: "I will also search for famous teachers and practice martial arts hard. Later, I will go to the Sixth Princess to compete. One day, I will beat the Sixth Princess."
Lu Chi: "..."
Li Mo blinked his peach-blossom eyes that were swollen from being beaten, and asked expectantly: "Ziyu, it's hard for me to leave the house in this state. You can find a wife with excellent martial arts skills for me!"
He should have expected that this matter was not over yet.
Lu Chi had a headache and tried to persuade Li Mo to change his mind: "Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess is very skilled. Even if you practice martial arts diligently, you may not be her opponent in the future. Besides, you lost so miserably this time, how can you still have something to lose?"
Go meet the Sixth Princess again with dignity..."
Li Mo was hit hard by an arrow in the chest, and looked at Lu Chi with a sad and sad look: "Thankfully you are still my good friend. You are not even willing to help me with this little help."
Lu Chi reluctantly compromised: "That's it! I'll just help you." After thinking for a while, he gave Li Mo an idea: "There are many skilled guards in the Li Mansion. If you want to learn martial arts, why bother looking far away.
"
Li Mo said, "Master Lian is good at the swordsmanship of the Lian family and his skills are extraordinary. The Sixth Princess has only been studying with Master Lian for half a year, and she already has such skills. How can I just find a guard and become my disciple!"
There is some truth in saying this.
Lu Chi nodded, and then said, "However, it's not easy to find someone who is as good as Mrs. Lian."
Master Lian is the most outstanding martial arts genius in the Lian family, and his sword skills are superb. Where can I find a master similar to Master Lian?
Li Mo bowed his hands with a flattering look on his face: "Thank you."
Lu Chi sighed and murmured to himself: "What a wrong friend!"
A few days later, Sheng Xuan, who was recovering from his injuries, learned from Lu Chi that Li Mo provoked the Sixth Princess but was injured, and was moved: "I didn't expect Li Mo to be so loyal and pick a fight against the Sixth Princess for my sake.
"
Lu Chi: "..."
Forget it, it’s better not to explain. Just let Sheng Xuan misunderstand!
…
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Mei Fei's illness has improved quite a bit, and her complexion is getting better day by day. Hanxiang Palace is also becoming more and more lively.
Emperor Jianwen often summoned the Six Princesses to accompany him, and the Six Princesses gradually became more popular than the other princes.
Not to mention that the fourth prince felt depressed, even the third and fifth princes were feeling quite unhappy. But they could not show it on their faces. In front of Emperor Jianwen, they rushed to show their kindness to the sixth princess, as if they were good brothers.
Only the fourth prince remained lukewarm and rarely spoke to the sixth princess.
Concubine Li saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. She had to say a few words in private: "No matter how disgusted you are in your heart, you have to pretend on your face. You are the elder brother, and it is always not good to always compete with your sister. For the sake of your father,
How can I be happy in my eyes?"
The fourth prince's eyes dimmed and he said nothing.
Concubine Li kept talking to herself: "Look at the Third Prince, you smile at everyone all day long. Everyone who looks at you has to praise him. You have a stern face all day long. You neither like to talk nor please people. Keep doing this.
If you go down, even that girl from Anping will crush you to shame..."
The impatience between the fourth prince's brows gradually accumulated, and finally burst out: "Okay! Stop talking!"
Concubine Li was shocked and angry: "You are angry at me? I am not saying this for your own good. Who you appoint as the crown prince depends entirely on your father's wishes. How can you be so angry and awkward... Where are you going?
Stop!"
…
The fourth prince strode out of Jingrong Palace quickly.
His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
The chambermaids and maids saw him from a distance and did not dare to come forward to salute. They were afraid that by mistake, they would offend the furious fourth prince and suffer unreasonable disaster.
Coincidentally, as soon as we walked to the Imperial Garden, we met Emperor Jianwen and his party.
The fourth prince immediately calmed down and stepped forward to salute: "My son, I have met my father."
Emperor Jianwen was a majestic emperor, but in private he was quite gentle towards his son. He smiled casually and said: "Get a life! The academy is closed for bathing today, and I rarely have free time. I have sent someone to summon Anping. Since you are free,
Leave it too!"
Fourth Prince: "..."
Emotional Sheng Anping is the protagonist, but he becomes the supporting character.
The fourth prince was so stunned that he lowered his head and respectfully said yes.
Emperor Jianwen glanced at the fourth prince's face: "What? Could it be that you don't want to see Anping?"
