"If you don't marry, you won't marry. You are picky and picky. Which girl is not the best? Which one of them is not worthy of you? They are all pissed off by you. You piss me off to death." Go away! If you don't have a family at the age of twenty, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life!"

Fang Yun grabbed the orange at hand and threw it at the fourth prince.

The fourth prince caught it, still smiling playfully.

"My son, I thank my mother and concubine for the reward, and I, my son, resign!"

After saying that, he took the orange and slipped away as if he had oiled his feet.

Looking at it, Fang Yun wished he could rush up and give him a kick.

According to the rules of Daqi, men and women start discussing marriage at the age of fifteen, so they should get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

The eldest prince got married when he was sixteen, and the third prince also got married when he was eighteen. Because of the fifth prince's health, the queen hoped that he would get married early, and maybe have a child, so the fifth prince was also fifteen or sixteen. Got married at an age.

Now among the princes, only the fourth prince is left who has not yet been found.

The second princess has given birth to children.

In the past, Yoon was worried that his son's back house would be unsafe because of too many people, but now he is worried that he doesn't want any of the children.

Now there were only two people serving in the backyard of the East Palace, both of whom were concubines, and he basically ignored them.

If he hadn't asked Dr. Zeng to examine him, Fang Yun would have suspected that there was something wrong with his son.

Although it is a good quality to not be close to women, it is not good for the fourth prince, as the prince, to never marry and have no heirs.

It will make the outside world think that the royal heirs are withering.

Nowadays, there are indeed many voices in the court asking the prince to get married as soon as possible.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Your Highness must be aware of it. Maybe he hasn't met the one he likes yet." Qingrong comforted her softly.

Fang Yun let out a long sigh, "That's all, I can't bear to force him."

After leaving Yuzhang Palace, the fourth prince put away his playful smile and walked outside while playing with oranges.

They met the third prince and his wife who entered the palace to pay their respects to Concubine Song.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

The couple salutes.

The fourth prince immediately smiled and waved.

"Third brother and three sister-in-law don't need to be polite. Are you going to pay your respects to Concubine Song?"

As early as the third prince's wedding, Pei Yao had already promoted the Song concubine to the title of concubine. This was also the rule.

"Yes, your sister-in-law is pregnant. Now she is three months old. She came to the palace to pay her respects and announce the good news." The third prince said with a smile.

As he spoke, his gaze kept falling on the third prince's concubine, full of tenderness.

The couple had always had a good relationship, and the fourth prince knew that, so he congratulated and joked at the same time.

"This is really a happy event. The third brother originally felt sorry for his sister-in-law, but now I am afraid that he will hold it in his hands like a pearl. I didn't bring anything today. I will have someone prepare a congratulatory gift to send to my sister-in-law some other day. In my brother's house, I am also an uncle, and I care about my nephew so that the gift will not be delivered late. The third brother's thoughts are all on his sister-in-law, and he can't even remember who gave the gift!"

Although he was joking, if you look closely, there is a hint of envy hidden in the eyes of the fourth prince looking at the third prince and his wife.

"You're teasing me again!" The third prince's face turned red, he smiled helplessly, and then said, "Don't talk about me. At your age, it's time for you to get married. I heard that the imperial concubine misses you very much."

When it came to getting married, the fourth prince immediately started fighting again.

"Gu, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Good things come in a long way. Aren't the third brother and the third sister-in-law going to pay their respects to Concubine Song? Go quickly, I won't delay you anymore."

As he spoke, he put the orange in his hand into the third prince's hand and smiled.

"I heard that pregnant women like to eat acidic foods. These oranges are fresh, so let's give them to my sister-in-law."

After saying that, he walked around the two of them and left quickly. Looking at his retreating back, the third princess couldn't help but said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good at everything, but why is he unwilling to marry a wife? Isn't it possible that none of the noble ladies in the capital can catch his eye?"

"Who knows, maybe that boy already has someone in mind. Maybe, let's go. My mother and concubine are still waiting. I said today that I have prepared a table of your favorite dishes."

The third prince whispered, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and took his wife's hand.

But this time, the third prince really got it right.

On the carriage returning to the East Palace, the fourth prince took out a wolf fang tied with a red string from his arms, his eyes dark.

"Your Highness, don't look at it. The Ye family girl will not return to Beijing with General Ye until the end of the year."

Qinghe, the eunuch who was personally serving the Fourth Prince, couldn't help but say from the side.

The fourth prince glanced at him, "Do you understand that you miss people when you see things?"

"Your Highness likes the girl from the Ye family so much. Why don't you tell the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine directly? It's been more than two years, and you can still be so fond of people." Qinghe muttered.

What awaited him was the fourth prince giving him a hard blow on the head.

"I'm talking more and more. I'm usually too lenient with you!"

"I know I was wrong, and I won't mention it again."

Qinghe covered his forehead and quickly admitted his mistake.

The fourth prince had no intention of arguing with him at the moment. He only looked away, rubbed the wolf fang in his hand, and silently missed the girl who was as free as an eagle in his heart.

The legitimate daughter of the Ye family, the daughter of Weining General Ye Yunxiao, Ye Jintang.

As Qinghe said, as long as he opens his mouth, his father and mother will naturally agree to the marriage. After all, considering the family background, the daughter of the Ye family is definitely a good match to be his crown princess.

But unfortunately, the girl didn't want to.

Even if they have each other in their hearts, they don't want to.

To this day, the fourth prince still remembers what Ye Jintang said.

What she hopes for is a pair of people for the rest of her life. The fourth prince is the prince and will be the king of Daqi in the future. He will definitely not be able to give her the life she wants, and she is not willing to be trapped in the deep square palace wall for the love of her children. In the middle, I don’t even want to watch the fourth prince get close to other women and have children.

Since we can't give each other what we want, it's better to break it off early and let each other be quiet and stop bothering each other.

He was obviously younger than him, and he was more decisive in doing things. He would end it as soon as he said it. He left such a wolf tooth for him and wished him great success in the future. Then he followed his father to the military camp in the North.

After Da Qi annexed Shangyang State, Ye Yunxiao was sent to garrison and guard it. Now the Yanhu State that borders it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the past two years, Ye Jintang returned to Beijing with his father at the end of the year to report on his work, and the two of them had the opportunity to exchange a few words.

Privately, the fourth prince naturally wanted to keep his beloved girl by his side, but as Ye Jintang said, he could not give her the life she wanted, so he could not be so selfish.

With his status, it is simply unrealistic to promise the other person a life-long relationship, and the fourth prince himself knows it in his heart.

After deceiving someone with sweet words and then destroying the promise, the fourth prince asked himself, he couldn't do such a thing.

Just this year, it was already the end of September, and he wanted to say goodbye to Ye Jintang properly.

He was not unaware of the voices in the court, and he also saw the concerns of his mother and concubine. As a prince, he could not do as he pleased and be worshiped by all people, but he had to shoulder corresponding responsibilities and act according to the rules.

In recent years, he has been willful enough.

Qinghe sat in the corner, looking at the loneliness in his master's eyes, and sighed in his heart.

His Highness the Crown Prince and the girl from the Ye family are probably destined to be inseparable.
