"Your second brother is older now, and he's probably more thoughtful than the youngest. He's not as innocent and cheerful as the youngest. His mother is weak, and he likes to cling to you. With such a clingy person like you, how can you have the energy to care about anything else?"

"Leave the second son's affairs to mother."

When the prince heard the first half of the sentence, he roughly guessed what his mother meant.

The royal brothers are just like that, and even he is no exception.

"I understand. I'll take my leave now."

"etc."

When the prince stood up, the queen called him.

"I want to go to Guiyuan Temple to pray next month, but I haven't been feeling well lately. Could you go on my mother's behalf?"

"Yes, I obey your command."

The prince picked up the sleeping youngest son and walked out, wrapping him tightly with his cloak.

"Royal brotherhood? One is enough. I'm not greedy."

Inside Concubine Shu's bedroom, the Fourth Prince knelt on the ground with his head bowed and a dead expression on his face.

When Concubine Shu came back from bathing, she saw him kneeling there properly and felt a little better.

"Do you know your mistake?"

"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been impulsive and ruined Mother's plan."

"That's good to know! I wanted to choose a good one for you, but Jiang Shuyue messed it up. Those people fled as if they had seen a ghost. Next time I hold a flower banquet, don't mess it up."

"Yes, I obey your command."

"Go away."

The Fourth Prince's legs were sore and painful, and he limped away.

Concubine Shu cursed with disgust, "If it weren't for this palace's inability to give birth to a son, I wouldn't have allowed him to wander around! Come here, it's bad luck."
