Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne-Chapter 219 - One Hundred Seventy-Five: Spring Hunt_3

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Mian still decided not to step forward. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Zhao Yao looked over at him. He had no choice but to come forward.

"Greetings, Tenth Prince." Wei Mian first bowed to Zhao Yao, and then bowed to Chu Huan and the other three, "Greetings, young lords."

Song Jicai and the others looked at Zhao Yao with confusion. Zhao Yao introduced, "He is someone who works for my fourth brother, Wei Mian."

"Wei Mian, did fourth brother send you to call me?"

"Your Highness noticed you hadn’t gone to find him yet, so he sent me to see if you were ready."

"I was just about to take them to see fourth brother." Zhao Yao’s interactions with Chu Huan and the others were not something he intended to hide from the Fourth Prince. Besides, it was impossible to hide, given they were in the same hunting ground. "Come, I’ll take you to meet my fourth brother."

A moment later, the Fourth Prince was quite surprised to see Zhao Yao bringing General Shen’s four sons to him.

Why would the tenth brother be associating with General Shen’s sons?

After introducing Chu Huan and the others to the Fourth Prince, Zhao Yao also introduced the Fourth Prince to them.

Of course, Chu Huan and the others knew of the Fourth Prince, and they had even heard their fathers and brothers praise him. However, the Fourth Prince’s cold demeanor made him unapproachable.

"Fourth Brother, today I’ll hunt with Chu Huan and the others. You go hunt with Father and the others." Before anything happened during the spring hunt, having the Fourth Brother hunt alongside the Emperor could once again gain him the top honors.

The Fourth Prince clearly disapproved, frowning as if he was about to say something, but Zhao Yao interrupted him.

"Fourth Brother, don’t worry. We won’t cause any trouble or have any accidents." Zhao Yao raised his hand in a vow, "I assure you, we’ll just hunt nearby and won’t go far."

Chu Huan and the others nodded repeatedly.

"But..."

"Fourth Brother, I’ll join you for hunting tomorrow. Today, just hunt with Father and the others." Zhao Yao said, turning the Fourth Prince around and whispering to him, "Fourth Brother, don’t let the Third Brother and them steal all the limelight, or they’ll be insufferable again."

The Fourth Prince furrowed his brows but remained silent.

Zhao Yao patted the Fourth Prince’s arm, smiling as he said, "Fourth Brother, I’m counting on you." With that, he led Chu Huan and the others away.

The Fourth Prince watched Zhao Yao and the others leave, frowning deeply.

"Your Highness, I can’t believe the Tenth Prince is on such good terms with General Song’s sons!" Wei Mian still found it unbelievable, "The Tenth Prince never mentioned this before."

Earlier, Zhao Yao had told the Fourth Prince that he met Chu Huan and the others while on a break from the palace, and they became friends by chance.

The Fourth Prince and Wei Mian were both taken aback.

"Your Highness, regarding the Tenth Prince..."

Wei Mian didn’t finish his sentence, but the Fourth Prince understood his meaning.

"The tenth brother is not that kind of person." The Fourth Prince said with certainty, "He lacks such cunning."

"Then why has the Tenth Prince never mentioned knowing General Song’s sons to you?"

The Fourth Prince suddenly smiled, "He probably forgot, eight or nine times out of ten."

Wei Mian: "..."

He could not argue with the prince’s words. Given the Tenth Prince’s personality, he could indeed have simply forgotten.

"Were you all very afraid of my fourth brother?"

Earlier, when introducing Chu Huan and the others to the fourth brother, they all looked scared and nervous. Now that they had left, they still seemed this way.

"Who wouldn’t be afraid of the Fourth Prince?" Zhang He rubbed his arms and said to Zhao Yao, "That cold expression of his is frightening, right, wooden blocks?"

Shen Sen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the Fourth Prince is so cold, it scares you away."

Song Jicai chimed in, "The Fourth Prince is terrifyingly cold."

Chu Huan said, "I’m most afraid of such cold people."

"Fourth Brother may seem cold, but he’s actually a very good person." Zhao Yao smiled, "He treats me very well."

"Boss, even though you say that, we still find the Fourth Prince scarily cold."

"Thankfully, boss, you didn’t make us hunt with the Fourth Prince."

"Fourth Brother is warm-hearted despite his cold appearance, you don’t need to fear him so much." In Zhao Yao’s eyes, the Fourth Prince was the best brother in the world.

"My father and elder brothers often say the Fourth Prince is mature and steady," Chu Huan said, "They also say the Fourth Prince is much like the Emperor."

"My father and brothers say that too."

"Fourth Brother like Father?" Zhao Yao exclaimed in surprise, "How is Fourth Brother like Father?" Whether in appearance or personality, Fourth Brother was not like the Emperor at all.

Chu Huan shook his head, "My father and brothers didn’t say exactly how, but they often say the Fourth Prince is very much like the Emperor."
