Chapter 19

After returning, Yinzuo watched Depin drink water and eat something, still with a worried look on his face. Depin smiled and said, "You're much better now."

Yinzuo thought for a moment and said, "Mother, go to sleep."

Depin smiled and said, "Okay, mother, go to sleep for a while."

The scene of seeing the Fourth Prince and Imperial Concubine Tong Jia together also caused some fluctuations in Depin's mood. She also wanted to be alone and quiet for a while. Although she rested on the bed, she couldn't fall asleep.

However, she had lived in the palace for so many years that her character had been tempered. When she got up from the bed, she had already sorted out her mood.

After Depin came out, Yinzuo, who was playing with toys, immediately looked over. Depin walked over with a smile, touched Yinzuo's head, and said to him, "Don't worry, mother is fine."

She also played with toys with Yinzuo for a long time. After a while, the laughter of children could be heard in the yard again. Depin also smiled gently. Everything was the same as before, and the previous events seemed to have passed without a trace.

But unfortunately, although Depin wanted the encounter in the morning to seem as if it had never happened, Yinzuo didn't know anything about it. So after Depin had a good rest and played with her for a long time, he started to think about his brother whom he met in the morning again.

Yinzuo asked Depin, "Looking for my fourth brother?"

Yinzuo also considered that Depin might not have had a full rest today, and asked, "Looking for her tomorrow?"

Depin, who knew her son well, was not surprised that Yinzuo wanted to find the fourth prince, but she could not find this one. Although her son was young, Depin never gave her son a categorical order, but always gave a reasonable reason.

Depin thought for a moment and said, "The Imperial Concubine has to deal with many palace affairs and is very busy. Mother, you can't just go and disturb her."

But Yinzuo said doubtfully: "Looking for, Fourth Brother, no, not looking for--" He was not looking for the Imperial Concubine.

Depin lowered her eyes and said, "But the Fourth Prince is in the Imperial Concubine's palace. She won't let him out, so you and your mother won't be able to see him."

There was a hidden meaning in Depin's tone, which was complex and meaningful, but Yinzuo didn't hear it. He just listened to what his mother said, the general meaning of which was that he couldn't see his fourth brother.

Yinzuo sighed sadly.

Compared to Yinzuo who directly asked Depin to find the Fourth Prince, the relationship between the Fourth Prince and his mother, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia, was relatively restrained.

Although in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, Imperial Concubine Tong Jia was his biological mother, and the young Fourth Prince was full of admiration for her, he was not as forthright as Yinzuo.

Even though they were still young, the children of the royal family were overly sensitive to people's emotions. For example, the Fourth Prince sensed that his mother was unhappy when she saw his Sixth Brother and the others. Although he did not understand and was curious, he kept the matter in his heart and did not say a word about the Sixth Prince.

Yinzuo was sad that except for his fourth sister, it seemed that he could not go out to play with his brothers and sisters. He and his fourth brother had not even spoken a few words. Hey, that was his brother, and they were very close.

Their house was really too big, and Yinzuo felt that a big house was not good.

When Yinzuo went out to play again, he suddenly thought of something. Although his mother said that she couldn't find his fourth brother, she met his fourth brother outside last time. Maybe she could meet him again?

Yinzuo touched his head and grinned, feeling happy that he had thought of this and felt that he had become smarter again.

Today, my mother did not come with me, so Yinzuo directed the nanny to go to the place where he saw his fourth brother yesterday, and waited there, but unfortunately he did not come. But it didn't matter, Yinzuo was not a child who gave up easily, and continued to wait the next day.

Even the Fourth Princess knew that Yinzuo was waiting for his fourth brother. He was not focused enough when playing with her little frog toy and kept turning his head to look around, which made the Fourth Princess unhappy.

Yinzuo and the fourth princess said, "Fourth brother, let's play together."

However, the Fourth Princess and he did not wait for the Fourth Prince to arrive.

For several days in a row, Yinzuo did not show up. Not to mention that Imperial Concubine Tong Jia rarely took the Fourth Prince out, Depin thought that even if she wanted to take the Fourth Prince out, Tong Jia and the others would avoid the places where Yinzuo played, knowing that Yinzuo always played there.

Even if she was not there, even if Yinzuo was just a child who knew nothing, Depin knew that Imperial Concubine Tong Jia did not want the Fourth Prince and Yinzuo to get close.

Depin told Yinzuo a good news today: "Your third brother is back, maybe you can go and meet him."

It was not good news, but Depin knew it was good news for Yinzuo, a child who loved his brothers and sisters. As expected, Yinzuo became happy and finally stopped waiting for his fourth brother.

When the Third Prince came back, all the older princesses and princes in the palace would go to recognize him. The older ones here refer to the Fourth Prince, who was considered sensible enough. The Fifth Prince, who was so young, did not need to go. However, the Sixth Prince, Yinzuo, who was extremely active, was an exception.

Rongpin didn't choose a special day to entertain guests, so everyone didn't come on the same day. For example, the Fourth Prince deliberately avoided Yinzuo.

For example, Depin and the others met the Third Prince who had returned to the palace together when they paid their respects to the Empress Dowager. For other princes and princesses to meet the newly returned Third Prince was just a matter between their brothers and sisters, and they did not need to be accompanied by Depin.

So on this day, Yinzuo was brought there by his wet nurse, and he also picked some candies to bring with him. He brought candies when he first went to see his fourth sister, and his fourth sister liked him. There is no child who doesn't like candies!

The scheming Yinzuo is considerate of others and is good at pleasing his brothers and sisters.

Yinzuo also said, "Yin's got it!" and held the sugar jar in his arms.

Depin teased him: "Give them all to your third brother, why don't you keep some for yourself?"

Although Yinzuo was a very generous child to his family, the little one glanced at the candy jar and thought that there was a lot of candy in it. His third brother couldn't finish it, so he opened his little arms around the candy jar and said, "Keep it."

Depin opened the candy jar with a smile and said, "Then leave one piece for Yinzuo."

When Depin was about to cover the sugar jar again, Yinzuo reached out with his paw: "One more." He reached into the sugar jar and took out a piece.

After taking another look, he still felt that there was a lot of sugar in the jar, so he took out another piece.

Then he took another look and took out another piece.

Depin looked at little Yinzuo, looking back and forth, comparing this and that, and was very amused. In the past few days, because Yinzuo was always waiting for the Fourth Prince, she always thought of the Fourth Prince, and her unhappy and bored mood was finally completely cured.

It turns out that entertaining my son every day is a magic weapon to cheer me up.

Besides finding her youngest son's adorable expression as he struggled to take the candy out of the candy jar, Depin was also very satisfied that her son was not completely foolish and generous to his older sisters and brothers, and even remembered to save some for himself.

Yinzuo hesitated for a long time and took out about one-third of the candy in the small candy jar. Little Yinzuo still felt a little guilty, so he hugged the candy jar again and said, "It's not good to eat too much."

This is what Depin often said to him, but little Yinzuo seemed a little lacking in confidence at this time.

Depin was so amused that she suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Yinzuo is right. He is very thoughtful."

"Well, don't you want to go see your third brother? Go early."

Yinzuo nodded, the wet nurse held him, and he went out with the sugar jar.

Yinzuo had been thinking about finding this brother and that brother every day. Today he finally found one. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted happily, "Third brother!"

This was actually quite unruly in the palace. The Third Prince leaned outside and saw the child being carried in. However, after Yinzuo entered the room, he was put down, so Yinzhi didn't have to tilt his head to look at him. Instead, the child had to tilt his head to look at him.

Yinzhi had just been brought back a few days ago. He was raised in a minister's home outside the palace. That family had always treated him with respect and pampering, so Yinzhi was quite lively and bold when he was raised in the minister's home outside. However, as soon as he entered the tall imperial palace, the unfamiliar feeling of this majestic and solemn palace made him feel uneasy and restrained.

Moreover, after he came back, he met too many strangers every day, which made the Third Prince resist. He didn't want to meet so many people, he didn't know what to say, and he had lost all the liveliness he had when he was outside.

"Third brother, give it to him!" But the child who came in was different from the others. He was supported by the armpits and stood in front of him. He didn't stand straight, but leaned forward. He came up and wanted to give him what he was holding in his arms.

The third prince Yinzhi did not take the thing handed to him by his younger brother, but instead reached out and supported his younger brother who was standing crookedly.

It was the nanny next to him who wanted to take the candy jar from Yinzuo's arms, but Yinzuo was unwilling to give it to him. He said, "Here, Third Brother!"

Her eyes were sincere, and she looked at the Third Prince and said in a loud voice, "Sugar, sweet, Yin gives it to brother!"

It doesn't matter how old the trick is, as long as it is useful.
