Because of this incident, Heyue naturally forgot about the gift she promised to give to the Thirteenth Prince last year.

What a joke! He dared to take advantage of her. Letting him off the hook is already too lenient. Even if it was unintentional, so what?

If you make him unhappy, he can forget about being happy either!

However, on the eve of the Thirteenth Prince's birthday, Heyue, who was determined not to give him a gift, recalled the Thirteenth Prince's downcast expression that day and finally softened her heart. She asked the Fourth Prince to help her send the Thirteenth Prince a small dog made of wood.

Heyue had commissioned the making of this wooden dog many days ago. Heyue originally intended to give it to the Thirteenth Prince, but after that incident, she angrily had it put away.

I just didn't expect that I still couldn't resist taking it out.

The Fourth Prince originally gave Heyue a female puppy. Two days ago, Tuanzi became pregnant. Heyue plans to give one of the puppies to the Thirteenth Prince after Tuanzi gives birth to her.

He Yue sighed and told herself that she should just treat it as comforting a child who had just lost his birth mother.

When the Thirteenth Prince received the wooden puppy, he was initially very unhappy. However, considering that it was already quite rare for that girl to give him such a gift, he stopped caring and carefully put it away.

Two months later, the Thirteenth Prince received another newborn, snow-white little bundle of joy, which surprised and delighted him.

Fourth Brother's residence also kept many dogs. Thirteenth Prince was usually indifferent to them, but when he saw the little dumpling, he felt a surge of joy.

The 13th Prince's pent-up frustration of the past few days vanished, and he thought to himself, "This girl has a conscience; she hasn't forgotten me."

The Thirteenth Prince conveniently forgot all about the unpleasant incident that happened between the two a few months ago.

The Thirteenth Prince happily brought the little dumpling back to the palace and named it Xiaobai. In order to raise Xiaobai, he even went to the Fourth Prince's residence to ask the Fourth Prince for advice on raising dogs.

Surprisingly, the thirteenth prince was interested in raising dogs. To his delight, the fourth prince sent him a young eunuch who knew how to raise dogs.

When the Thirteenth Prince went to the Fourth Prince's residence again, he saw a small dog with pure black fur, the same size as Xiao Bai, being held in Su Peisheng's arms and having its fur gently stroked as it came out of the study. The Thirteenth Prince asked Su Peisheng curiously, "Did the dog in Fourth Brother's residence also have puppies?"

Su Peisheng shook his head: "This was given to me by Princess Zhaojia a few days ago. She said that the dog that Fourth Master gave me had given birth to puppies, and he was very happy."

Upon hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince's face immediately fell, and his good mood vanished.

Su Peisheng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand why the Thirteenth Master was angry. But he didn't ask too many questions and hurriedly said goodbye to settle the little black dog.

The thirteenth prince entered the study dejectedly. The fourth prince, seeing him, asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Who upset you?"

"Hmph! Who else could it be?!" The Thirteenth Prince spat out angrily, casually sitting down on a chair to the side, crossing his legs, looking displeased: "She said she was giving me a puppy, but she even gave one to you, Fourth Brother. What a joke! Fourth Brother doesn't need a puppy. What kind of fawning is she putting on?!"

The Fourth Prince raised an eyebrow, stared intently at the Thirteenth Prince, and curled his lips into a smile: "You're angry about this?"

Thirteenth Prince blushed, feeling embarrassed at being seen through. He turned his head and snorted resentfully, "In the end, it's still a lack of sincerity. How can I not be angry? I don't know why you treat her so well, Fourth Brother, spoiling her and making her even more unruly! I am, after all, the thirteenth prince, and she doesn't respect me at all, always bullying me!"

Speaking of this, I thought of the puppy again, and I couldn't help but feel a little wronged.

He wouldn't have cared about such a small thing in the past; he's not a three-year-old anymore. But now he just can't help being unhappy.

"When did you become so petty?" The Fourth Prince shook his head, amused.

The Thirteenth Prince was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he muttered, "In short, I just don't like her way of doing things!"

"What kind of behavior does she have? Don't you know her personality? Why say such things that go against your own feelings? Or are you just resentful that she disrespected you?"

Hearing what the Fourth Prince said, the Thirteenth Prince felt a little guilty and complained in a low voice, "What are you thinking? Besides, isn't Fourth Brother always the one who values ​​rules the most? Why is he so different with her?"

As he continued, the Thirteenth Prince gained some confidence, raised his face, and spoke with a questioning tone.

The Fourth Prince was taken aback. Seeing the Thirteenth Prince's relentless determination, he shook his head slightly and said, "Some things don't need to be investigated too thoroughly. Sometimes it's not easy to have genuine affection, especially for the royal family."

The thirteenth prince frowned, looking completely bewildered.

Seeing his expression, the Fourth Prince didn't offer much explanation, but simply said, "Rules vary from person to person. Sometimes, forgetting those rules and following your own heart brings more freedom."

He said no more, walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and the air fell silent.

The Thirteenth Prince was speechless, staring at the Fourth Prince's lonely figure, suddenly feeling somewhat at a loss.

At that moment, Su Peisheng's voice rang out from outside: "Master!"

Fourth Prince came to his senses and let Su Peisheng in.

Su Peisheng came in and whispered a few words in the Fourth Prince's ear.

The Thirteenth Prince noticed that the Fourth Prince's originally calm face had suddenly become serious, his brows furrowed, and he raised his hand to signal Su Peisheng to leave.

"Fourth Brother, what's wrong?" the Thirteenth Prince asked.

A hint of mockery flashed across the Fourth Prince's cool and aloof eyes. His lips parted slightly, and his tone carried an inexplicable chill: "I never knew that this Guo Luoluo clanswoman was so meddlesome!"
