"It's not a strange thing!"

Yinzhi hung his head, his face flushed.

He's a prince, after all... Is it not normal for him to like someone? He's older than Yinreng! If they were to get married, it would definitely be earlier for him. Although he's never had such thoughts, that doesn't mean it's not a normal thing!

He was all bark and no bite. At the same time, he felt a little regretful. He should have known better than to tell him about this. Perhaps there were other ways to find him?

Yinreng looked up at him.

Yinzhi is still a head taller than him, and he looks more robust. He used to be a very reckless person, but now he often asks for his opinion when things happen.

Perhaps, subconsciously, he has come to trust himself quite a bit. Otherwise, someone as reckless and stubborn as him wouldn't be likely to listen to others' opinions.

Yinreng keenly noticed this change, perhaps without his elder brother even realizing it. His original attitude had shifted from hostility to a subtle admiration, and a touch of awkwardness.

Hmph, ever since I noticed this change in his attitude, my older brother isn't as annoying as before.

Although his older brother initially followed him in doing those things to compete for credit, his motives were far from pure.

However, even when they were out in the world, they were still blood brothers, and even if it was just a superficial friendship, they still looked after each other. After all, no matter how much they competed and schemed in the palace, once they were outside, they were one, blood brothers. They couldn't let the royal family lose face in public, so they kept this in mind and acted accordingly.

Moreover, they are all teenagers in their early teens, and their personal feelings have not yet been involved in official matters.

If they were greedy adults, they might resort to any means to achieve their own interests, but they wouldn't go that far. Ultimately, they are just awkward teenagers. Once they are away from adults, their brainwashing or interference won't lead to very serious consequences.

But staying in the capital is different. If they stay in the capital, everything they do will be marked by factions and will not be pure at all.

Although Yinreng didn't like him at first, the two still looked after each other when they were out together.

Over time, people, who are not plants or trees, can become without feelings.

He just might not want to admit it.

Yinreng had always thought, "Why is this person so annoying? He's always around me and always says those irritating things, even though he's not a bad person at heart."

But later, he always followed behind me, doing things in front of and behind me, and got further away from Consort Hui and the people who went to his maternal grandfather's house, and gradually returned to normal.

Although he can be quite annoying at times, he is reliable most of the time, and at least he takes his work seriously.

Yinreng didn't ask for much. After all, he was the one who stuck to him like a leech. As long as he didn't hold him back, that was fine. Later, it turned out that he not only didn't hold him back, but he was also somewhat useful.

Perhaps I was brainwashed too much by those people before, and my attitude towards him was too hostile.

But he didn't expect his older brother to confide in him, after all, their relationship didn't seem to have reached that point.

Despite his surprise, Yinreng knew he had to find a way to help his elder brother since he had already spoken up.

"What do you want?" Yinreng asked.

He also began to consider whether the two of them were a good match.

Wen Ying? Yinreng was quite familiar with her, since they had spent time together in the palace. Every time he went to see Jingrou, he would see Wen Ying.

It could be said that the two were inseparable, and to be somewhat embarrassed, he was sometimes a little jealous of Wenying.

However, the two rarely spoke, and even when they did, it was always about Jingrou.

I remember she was a rather gentle girl, usually quite calm and collected, but she was also quite clear-headed in her actions, and Yinreng had a good impression of her.

Thinking this, Yinreng looked Yinzhi up and down.

Yinzhi didn't miss that glance, and suddenly became somewhat embarrassed and angry. "What? Do you think the two of us are not a good match at all? If it weren't for the fact that I can't get in touch with her, I wouldn't have told you this..." Yinzhi said with distress.

He's a bit sensitive right now. Ever since he told Yinreng about that incident, he's been keeping an eye on his attitude, and he got a little angry after seeing this.

He was originally excited to lead a group of people to the estate for fun, hoping to have more opportunities to get to know each other, since they rarely had the chance to meet while staying in the palace.

Unlike Yinreng... Everyone knows that the Crown Prince and Princess Qixia have a good relationship, so no one ever thinks anything of it when the two of them are close.

It's become so commonplace that it doesn't attract any attention at all.

But he was different; he never had a close relationship with any girl…

Moreover, if Mother finds out, she'll start asking around about him, which would cause him a lot of trouble!

Yinreng was in a dilemma.

Knowing about your older brother's situation is one thing, but whether or not you should try to draw the line or do anything about it is another matter entirely.

He knew that Jingrou valued him as a friend very much, so he was worried that he might do something in private without telling her.

She would definitely be angry, and Yinreng didn't want to upset her.

But... this is the first time my older brother has ever experienced the first stirrings of love.

Yinreng is still not in the mood to accept that his elder brother has fallen for a girl.

After all, in his eyes, Yinzhi was never the type to show mercy to women. Even when they went to restaurants, Yinreng sometimes misunderstood something, only to find out that his elder brother was just drinking.

The older brother knew perfectly well that although he was usually very decisive and efficient, he never really cared about any young girl. The fact that she was talking to him like this meant she must really care…

But how long he can keep it up is anyone's guess!

To put it bluntly, what if the two of them didn't end up together... or what if Wenying didn't like her older brother? How awkward would it be for them to be together as a group of people in the future? Moreover, Jingrou is the kind of person who values ​​her friends very much, and Yinreng was afraid that he would be implicated.

Yinzhi stood right in front of him, deliberately trying to look fierce, but he couldn't hide his already bright red ears and neck.

He was clearly feeling awkward about bringing up the matter with Yinreng.

Seeing his elder brother like this, still thinking about Wenying, he softened and pondered how to bring it up with him.

"Remember to have your dear sister bring Wenying over..." He scratched his head awkwardly when he mentioned Wenying's name, then glanced at Yinreng again before turning and running away.

Now it was Yinreng's turn to be embarrassed. What good sister? Does his elder brother even know how to speak? What is he even saying?
