The two returned to their seats.

Today, in addition to receiving the Emperor's gifts, we also received many gifts from the guests, especially the Crown Prince, who was very generous in bestowing many gifts and even gave the two children a pair of pure gold necklaces.

This shows how much he values ​​his younger brother.

In the backyard, everyone learned that the emperor had sent a gift and offered their congratulations.

Heyue humbly accepted the tea, then ordered more tea to be served, and took a walk around the area.

I was quite exhausted after that lap, and I only breathed a sigh of relief when it was over.

Everything was going smoothly until a slight mishap occurred just before everyone was about to leave.

Fu Sengge, Ruoyu, and Hongshi have all disappeared.

The Fourth Prince's wife and Yan Yue sent their people to look for him, but they couldn't find him, and they were extremely anxious.

Eventually, someone found them in the backyard garden and informed them of the situation.

When Heyue arrived, Ruoyu was crying her eyes out, and Fusengge and Hongshi were fighting.

They quickly ordered someone to separate them, and only after asking the servants around them did they learn what had happened.

It turned out that Fu Sengge and Ruoyu wanted to visit Hongchang and Tongxuan before leaving, but on the way they encountered Hongshi, who had quietly come to the backyard.

Hongshi became arrogant upon seeing them. Upon learning that they were calling today's two main characters "brother and sister," he pushed Ruoyu down without saying a word, causing Ruoyu to burst into tears.

Fu Sengge was furious and got into a fight with Hongshi.

Both of them sustained minor injuries to their faces, but fortunately it was just a children's fight and no serious injuries were caused.

Hongshi was, after all, the eldest son of Prince Yong. If something really happened, it would be difficult to explain to her. Although she was angry that Hongshi had attacked Ruoyu for no reason, she couldn't blame him.

The Fourth Prince's wife was in a hurry, and Heyue sent Hongshi back. But Hongshi, who was so ignorant of his place, blurted out: "You are all no good. Your aunt is entangled with my father and even instigated my father to punish me. What brother and sister? They are nothing but two bastards!"

Those around were shocked by these words.

He Yue was so angry that her face turned ashen.

It's truly wicked for such a young child to say such things. It reminds me of the eldest princess, who was just as wicked. Are all children born from the same mother really the same?

Upon hearing this, one of Hongshi's servants quickly covered Hongshi's mouth and apologized repeatedly to Heyue: "Thirteenth Princess Consort, please calm down. The Third Prince did not do it on purpose."

How could He Yue argue with a child? She glanced coldly at Hong Shi, who immediately shrank back, not daring to meet He Yue's gaze.

Hongshi was taken away by the Fourth Princess's people. Heyue had someone inform the Sixth Sister and asked a doctor to treat Fusengge and Ruoyu's injuries.

Fortunately, Fu Sengge's injuries were all superficial and nothing serious. Ruoyu's palm was slightly scraped, but being a girl and usually spoiled, she was crying her heart out.

Heyue held her and comforted her for a while, and then Sixth Sister arrived.

Sixth Sister held Fu Sengge and fussed over him for half a day, then comforted Ruoyu, before gritting her teeth in anger: "This is too much! How can you hit someone like that?"

She had already learned the whole story on her way here. Although she was wary of the fact that the other party was the son of Prince Yong, she was still furious.

"I heard he also slandered you?" Yan Yue had also heard some gossip, and looked at He Yue with a very unpleasant expression.

He Yue nodded: "I'm fine, I'm just worried about the child."

Many people witnessed the scene and heard Hongshi's words. Who knows what kind of rumors will spread now?

Rumors about her and Prince Yong had circulated before, but He Yue had always ignored them. Now that her child was involved, she was furious.

Needless to say, someone must have been gossiping about Hongshi.

I have no other thoughts besides Li, Hongshi's birth mother.

This woman is really restless!

"This is outrageous! We have to get an explanation!" Yan Yue gritted her teeth.

He Yue was not one to swallow her anger, and besides, she wouldn't allow anyone to have the chance to harm her child.

I must talk to my fourth brother about this matter no matter what.

The child may not care, but the person behind it must not be let off the hook.

Yan Yue took the child back, but He Yue was so angry that her chest hurt.

She had never suffered such a loss before; she was still a child.

In the past, when the Ninth Prince framed her, she could still teach him a lesson. But when a child speaks recklessly, she can't even scold him.

Before leaving, Fourth Prince's wife personally apologized to Heyue and Thirteenth Prince: "This is my fault for not disciplining Hongshi properly. Please forgive me, Thirteenth Prince and his wife."

"Fourth Sister-in-law, what are you saying? This has nothing to do with you," Thirteen quickly reassured her.

“Yes, Fourth Sister-in-law, you don’t need to take it to heart,” Heyue replied.

"Sister-in-law, you must be tired today. You should rest well." The Fourth Princess Consort glanced at her, sighed, and left.

Back inside, Thirteen helped Heyue sit down and comforted her with heartache: "You've been wronged. Hongshi really went too far. I will talk to Fourth Brother and make sure you don't suffer in vain."

"You're both Fourth Brother's children, how come they're so different? Honghui was such a smart and kind child, and Hongshi also grew up with Fourth Sister-in-law, how come he inherited his birth mother's temperament? He's so unruly at such a young age, who knows what will become of him in the future." Heyue leaned against him and couldn't help but complain.

“After all, he spent some time by Consort Li’s side, and Consort Li did not cut off contact with Hongshi. It’s not surprising that Hongshi would behave this way,” Thirteen replied thoughtfully.

He Yue sighed, "It's clear that children need to be educated by suitable people from a young age. Look at Fu Sengge, not to mention his father, he is an upright person, and his mother has been studying since childhood. The children she teaches are also caring towards their younger siblings. They are much better than Hong Shi."
