Still not working?

Xiao Hongxuan's bright eyes dimmed, and his little head drooped slightly.

Just as Fourth Master was about to lift the little guy off him again, the little guy suddenly raised his head, and Fourth Master touched the little guy's hand and paused for a moment.

At this moment, he was actually looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble this little guy would cause this time, so he decided not to take the little guy down.

"Then, these snacks were made by Mother, Father, you can have them!" Little Hongxuan looked at Fourth Master sincerely and stated his condition.

In the little one's heart, the snacks made by his mother are the most delicious. Seeing how often you argue with me, Father, I'll let you eat them all from now on, okay?

The princes standing nearby were utterly bewildered by the little fellow's words.

When did the fourth brother become so greedy? He can actually be bribed with snacks?! Is this still the cold and boring fourth brother they remember?

Fourth Master squinted, thinking to himself: If I negotiate with him now, I'll let him eat all the pastries from now on. I can eat a few pieces of pastries myself, and then I'll glare at him. Your mother belongs to me, and everyone belongs to me. The pastries she makes naturally belong to me too. I can eat them as much as I want; I don't need your permission.

"No way!" Fourth Master refused decisively.

Still not working?

The little guy's eyes darted around, then lit up, and he immediately threw out another condition, "Xuan'er, sleep by yourself, and, uh, I don't want, my little brother anymore!"

Uh... the meaning of those words is easy to understand. Fourth Brother and Hongxuan's mother... everyone understood the hidden meaning in those words.

The princes immediately looked at the Fourth Prince with mocking expressions. As for the guards, their facial expressions were unreadable, but only they knew the emotions hidden in their lowered eyes.

The Fourth Prince, who was being mocked, turned even more gloomy!

Upon hearing this, Jiaming, inside the carriage, blushed furiously, abruptly lowered her hand, and the curtain she had lifted slammed shut. Although this blocked the view of the carriage from outside (most people were looking at the Fourth Prince, but they would also glance in her direction), how embarrassing!

Outside the carriage, as instructed by her master, she walked towards the Fourth Master, intending to whisper a message to him in hopes of keeping the young master's red peach, but she tripped and fell.

Although those words were meant to refer to her master, not herself, she still couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. She sat on the ground, head down, and it took her a long time to get up...

Fortunately, everyone was focused on the Fourth Prince, with Jiaming's carriage and Xiao Hongxuan, so no one noticed his embarrassing fall on flat ground.

"Nonsense, there are no conditions. You're young, and the journey is long and bumpy; your body can't handle it." Fourth Master didn't want to lecture his son in public, so he immediately changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Hongxuan's small eyes widened in dissatisfaction.

"No, Xuan'er, you're perfectly healthy, very healthy!" With that, the little guy jumped off Fourth Master's lap.

Suddenly, it felt like the Fourth Prince was a tree, and Xiao Hongxuan was a little monkey.

For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

Jiaming, who had just overheard the father and son's conversation, managed to suppress her embarrassment and anger, and lifted the curtain again, only to see this scene. She couldn't help but laugh.

Unexpectedly, while laughing, she suddenly found herself making eye contact with the Fourth Master at a short to medium distance.

Fourth Master's deep eyes narrowed dangerously.

Jiaming instantly understood: How dare you make fun of me! I'll settle the score with you later. For now, just remember this!

Her smile froze instantly, and her hand holding the curtain unconsciously loosened its grip.

The curtain fell again with a whoosh, immediately blocking the Fourth Master's dangerous gaze, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as Fourth Master and Jiaming were exchanging glances, Xiao Hongxuan suddenly ran away from Fourth Master.

Before anyone could react, he had already run to the tree next to him.

By the time Fourth Master and the others reacted, the little guy had already scrambled up the tree, making the eyelids of the people who rushed over below twitch incessantly.

The anxious princes ordered the guards to bring him down.

The tree might be able to support a child, but it couldn't support an adult climbing it.

As for getting a ladder, we were on the way, and there wasn't one readily available, nor could a ladder be made in a short time.

Unable to think of a solution for the time being, the crowd could only watch helplessly as Xiao Hongxuan climbed upwards.

When did Xuan'er learn to climb trees, and so skillfully and proficiently? It must not be her first time climbing!

At this moment, Jiaming and Fourth Master were of one mind, and they both turned their gazes to each other.

One person assumed the little guy learned to climb trees in the front yard, while the other assumed he learned with Jiaming's help. After all, neither of them had ever seen the little guy climb trees, so naturally, they assumed he learned from the other person.

But after looking at each other, they suddenly realized that the other did not know that Hongxuan could climb trees. So what was going on?

The two looked at the little guy in confusion, and what they saw next was astonishing—the little guy was climbing higher and higher, and the two were terrified.

Fourth Master grew anxious, "Stop, don't climb anymore!"

Xiao Hongxuan obediently stopped, looked down, and said proudly, "Look, Xuan'er is amazing! She can climb trees and is very healthy!"

He once asked his older brother if he could climb trees, and his brother said he wasn't in good health and couldn't climb trees.

No one had ever heard of any connection between being physically fit and climbing trees, but this was not the time to dwell on that.

"Alright, you're good. Come down!" The impatient Tenth Prince spoke up before the Fourth Prince could even speak.

The Fourth Prince glanced at him indifferently, and the Tenth Prince felt an overwhelming pressure from that glance. He couldn't help but scratch his head and chuckle, "Well, I know you're too embarrassed to compromise with Hongxuan, so I'll put in a good word for you."
