"Who?"

Lu Hanjiang looked like he didn't hear what he was saying. He picked his ears and then asked, "Old Qian, who do you think sent the invitation?"

"Sir, it's His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Lao Qian held the greeting card sent by the Fourth Prince's Mansion in his hand, also looking puzzled.

Ordinarily, what Jin Yiwei did in the first place was actually quite extraordinary. If it were another person, even if he didn't come to the door and cursed, he would probably have no contact with each other for the rest of his life. However, this fourth prince was actually polite enough to hand over a greeting card. According to the concierge, he even I prepared a gift, which is quite incredible.

Lu Hanjiang couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking for a moment. In his memory, the fourth prince was a simple-minded guy who was very easy to understand.

The other party has been keeping quiet for these years, but today he suddenly comes to visit. Is there really something going on?

Lu Hanjiang couldn't guess what the other party was thinking, but it was a pity that he didn't see the gifts when they were at the door, so after thinking for a moment, he said to Lao Qian: "There is tea in the front hall, and I will go see His Highness."

"Yes." Lao Qian responded and stepped back.

Lu Hanjiang thought for a while, but did not change out of the official uniform he was wearing. He wore the flying fish uniform of the Jin Yiwei and went to the front to meet the fourth prince.

The two of them met each other, and the other party was very enthusiastic, with a smile on his face: "Husband Lu, long time no see, hahaha."

"It's been a long time indeed. Your Highness, please take a seat." Lu Hanjiang was almost stunned by the other party, but he quickly regained his balance and smiled and invited the other party to take a seat.

While chatting briefly with the other party, Lu Hanjiang was also quietly sizing him up. The contact between the two was very limited. Apart from the two calculations, he had almost no interaction with the Fourth Highness.

At a certain moment, Lu Hanjiang also thought about the possibility of the Fourth Highness pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. But when he saw him today, he immediately gave up such unrealistic thoughts. The other person was really simple-minded and not pretending.

And in just a few words, the purpose of the fourth prince's trip was already obvious. From the first words he said when he entered the Lu Mansion, Lu Hanjiang had already guessed the other party's intention.

We can tell a lot from the way he calls himself. Although the position of Prince Consort is noble, it is essentially a subsidiary of the princess. Therefore, no one in the court would ever call Lu Hanjiang "Luke Prince Consort" on formal occasions. Generally speaking, they would It's a title, call him "Commander".

Although the fourth prince's thoughtless address could easily offend others, it also made Lu Hanjiang clearly see the other party's intention, which was to build relationships.

"My little sister is pregnant. It is natural for me, as the elder brother, to express my gratitude. There is no need for Prince Consort Lu to refuse." The fourth prince waved his hand and countless gifts were presented to her.

Lu Hanjiang, who had no intention of refusing, swept away the gifts and saw a top-quality luminous pearl at a casual glance. The smile on his face immediately became more sincere.

"Your Highness is so polite." While Lu Hanjiang was being polite, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In terms of financial resources, these four highnesses are probably the best among all the princes. Their generosity is indeed extraordinary.

Then the two chatted casually, mainly because the fourth prince began to brag about his brother-sister relationship with Princess Yongle. Lu Hanjiang kept smiling on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Lu Hanjiang believed that the two of them had some interactions with each other. After all, they were brother and sister. But to say that the relationship between the two was that good, it was probably not possible.

Yongle had told Lu Hanjiang before that she had few playmates in the palace, and the Sixth and Seventh Highnesses, who were slightly closer to her, had only an average relationship with her, let alone the Fourth Highness, who was much older.

But the fourth prince probably didn't think so. After talking a lot, he felt that the other party should have understood what he meant, so he left with satisfaction.But before leaving, the fourth prince suddenly remembered what the sixth prince had said when he came to his house today, so he quietly pulled Lu Hanjiang to the side and whispered -

"Lu Ma, please listen to this king's advice. Wen Kongheng, a small commander of the imperial army, is nothing. It's really not a crime to offend the emperor because of him. If you want to deal with it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

The fourth prince winked at Lu Hanjiang as he spoke. He thought that what he said was very obscure, but in fact, the word "daydream" was almost written on his face.

"Your Highness is right." Lu Hanjiang didn't argue with him. He just said yes with a smile. To be honest, he was afraid that if he continued talking, the other party would make some outrageous declaration, which would make it difficult to end the situation. .

In the end, the fourth prince returned home happily, while Lu Hanjiang was contemplating the pile of gifts, and Lao Qian remained silent behind him.

After a moment, Lu Hanjiang suddenly said: "What our Fourth Highness said seems to make some sense."

"Master?" Lao Qian said in surprise.

"It just so happens that since His Majesty has said that Young Master Wen has to let go, then let's just give His Highness some face and make the water in the capital a little muddier."

As he said that, Lu Hanjiang took the night pearl in the gift box and played with it: "Old Qian, send someone to the imperial prison and ask Yan Feng to release Mr. Wen."

"Yes." Lao Qian responded and then left.

"Also," Lu Hanjiang stopped the other party and added: "Remember to ask them to tell Mr. Wen that because His Highness the Fourth Prince personally came to intercede, the commander made an exception and released him."

Lao Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

The activities of the Lu family quickly attracted the attention of outsiders, but recently more than one prince had sent gifts. The fourth prince just chose a special time to make it more eye-catching.

However, the Sixth Prince, the initiator of all this, had no time to take care of it for the time being. After he returned home, he immediately had his uncle called over.

The uncle who was dragged out from Beauty Village was very impatient, but when he saw his prince's nephew, who had a sinking face, he just curled his lips and did not dare to be more presumptuous. After all, he was a noble man from Tianhuang.

The Sixth Prince angrily threw an account book on the table, and said angrily: "Uncle! In this month alone, you have paid out 500 taels of silver from the treasury. Do you know that this king has spent a month?" How much is your salary?"

The uncle's eyes evaded, but he still retorted in a low voice: "It's just a little money, the prince is making a fuss out of a molehill."

"Hmph! A little money? If it weren't for you, uncle, why would I have been humiliated by that bastard of the Fourth Brother!" The sixth prince stood up and said coldly: "From today on, uncle's monthly expenses will go through me. The king’s review, go down.”

"This -" The uncle's eyes widened, but when he saw the angry eyes of the sixth prince, he immediately withered, and he resignedly retreated.

The Sixth Prince was sulking alone. Someone came to report him. He acted too hastily and lost some etiquette. He scolded him sternly: "Why are you panicking!"

The man immediately knelt down to plead guilty: "It's the villain's impoliteness. Report it to the prince. There is a rumor outside that it is - it is said that His Highness the Fourth Prince came to persuade the Jin Yiwei to release the imprisoned Young Master Wen."
