“This child…” Watching Yun Duo carry the water away, Madam Yun Qi shook her head helplessly. She couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, “That’s a prince, a golden dragon descended from heaven. How can we not respect him…”

Hearing Yun Qishi's nagging, Yun Dazheng, who had been swaying his head and listening to the opera, spoke up: "Alright, old woman, let the children get along however they want. Stop nagging. If you ask me, it's because you respect the little prince too much that he doesn't want to play in our house anymore."

Hearing Yun Dazheng say this, Yun Qishi was a little displeased: "You say I respect the Little Prince too much, but don't you respect the Little Prince too much? Aren't you just like me? Sometimes you even go overboard than me."

And that was indeed the case. Yun Dazheng chuckled and readily admitted his mistake: "Alright, alright, I misspoke. He's the Little Prince, how can we not respect him?"

"That makes sense." Yun Qi nodded, still feeling a little regretful.

Actually, she quite liked The Little Prince.

well……

Actually, it wasn't that Li Bingchen never visited the Yun family elders. In fact, every time Li Bingchen came to the Gu family, he would greet Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi together with Yun Duo. However, once the two elders learned of Li Bingchen's identity, they became terribly reserved, making Li Bingchen feel uncomfortable. So usually, after Li Bingchen greeted the two elders and chatted casually for a few minutes, Yun Duo would take Li Bingchen to play elsewhere.

Sometimes they would come to Gu's house, but more often they would go out together with bodyguards.

Because there were bodyguards around Li Bingchen, His Majesty the King quickly learned that Li Bingchen had been "bullied" to tears by one of the Gu family's young ladies.

His Majesty the King merely frowned slightly at the time and did not say much. However, when Gu Shaoyong returned after his visit and reported back to him, His Majesty spoke to Gu Shaoyong in a casual, joking tone.

"Shaoyong, do you know that our Xiaowu went to your house again the other day?"

Hearing His Majesty the King's words, Gu Shaoyong was still a little puzzled: Why would His Majesty the King suddenly bring this up? Isn't this a very normal thing?

Ever since his little daughter met the Fifth Prince Li Bingchen in the palace, hasn't Li Bingchen been running to his house every few days? What's so strange about that?

Of course, despite his confusion, Gu Shaoyong couldn't possibly say that directly. After all... he still had to save face for His Majesty the King.

“Your Majesty, my daughter and the Fifth Prince get along very well, and neither of them has any other friends, so they always want to play together. But does Your Majesty think there is anything wrong with that?” Gu Shaoyong replied, carefully choosing his words.

His Majesty the King shook his head and said, “I think it’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with it. Xiao Wu is smart, but he has high standards. Ordinary children don’t meet his standards, and he can’t play with them. It’s a good kid who doesn’t even have a childhood playmate. I’m worried about that.”

“Now he can play with your little daughter, which makes him more like a child, which is quite rare. As his father, I feel very gratified to see this.”

Gu Shaoyong felt a little uneasy for some reason, so he quickly said, "It is my daughter's good fortune to have gained the favor of His Highness the Fifth Prince." His tone was very polite.
