The Fourth Prince’s gaze was overly bold; anyone with eyes could see his intentions. Even though Situtu Qinger had thoughts of enticing the Fourth Prince, she couldn’t act openly in front of everyone.
"Fourth Prince!" The Fourth Prince didn’t respond, so Situtu Qinger playfully teased again.
"Ah?"
Only then did the Fourth Prince co back to his senses. Everyone was staring at him, making him realize his lapse. He quickly composed himself and took the painting from Situtu Qinger’s hand.
Perhaps he had been too focused on Situtu Xueer recently, leading him to not seek out won for a long ti, which was surely causing an imbalance. The Fourth Prince attributed his earlier loss of composure to this lack of female companionship.
Indeed, in the Imperial Palace, all the princes, upon reaching The Twentieth Year of a Man’s Life, would be arranged with chambermaids to experience sexual relations, and each prince had their own attendant mistresses to teach them bedroom affairs in preparation for future marriage.
So, many princes outwardly remained unmarried, but they were already quite adept in matters between n and won.
The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing a portrait of a man.
Upon closer look, the man bore a striking resemblance to the Fourth Prince.
"This... this... is a portrait of ?"
"Yes!" Situtu Qinger shyly lowered her head, expressing her maidenly thoughts clearly.
Such a stunning young lady admired him, and the Fourth Prince naturally enjoyed it imnsely.
"Second Miss truly has skillful hands; this painting is really well done. I am very fond of it," the Fourth Prince couldn’t help but praise.
Seeing their interaction.
Situ Yongjie’s heart couldn’t help but stir. The Fourth Prince was endlessly entangled with his elder daughter, and sooner or later, it would cause trouble. Now, his younger daughter was interested in the Fourth Prince. If he paired them together, his elder daughter could escape her plight, couldn’t she?
With this thought, he smiled and said to the Fourth Prince, "The Fourth Prince praises her too highly. My daughter’s painting is so good because she paints earnestly and realistically for those she loves. Look at the Fourth Prince in the portrait; it’s so vivid and lifelike, it’s simply beyond words."
Situ Yongjie praised generously, sparing no effort, as it didn’t cost Silver, only requiring him to draw the Fourth Prince’s attention away from Xuexue.
After all, even the War Prince wasn’t easy to deal with. The Fourth Prince was courting trouble; if anything did happen, it would be difficult for him to explain to The Emperor.
The Fourth Prince nodded in agreent, "Second Miss has nimble hands that perfectly express her feelings. This painting pleases greatly. If Second Miss doesn’t mind, I wish to take it back for leisurely admiration. What do you think, Second Miss...?"
These words of praise from the Fourth Prince made Situtu Qinger overjoyed. It seed that the effort invested was not in vain, as the Fourth Prince began to view her in a new light, making her heart flutter with excitent, as if she had gained a treasure trove of Gold.
Situtu Qinger’s expression satisfied the Fourth Prince’s vanity.
Always being rejected by Situtu Xueer had hurt him deeply, making him once doubt if his masculine appeal was gone. Now, Situtu Qinger’s expression restored his confidence.
"Very well, very well. If the Fourth Prince isn’t disdainful, I am incredibly honored." Situtu Qinger’s face was blushing like a budding Huahua, incredibly enticing.
