Inside the Fu Shuang Palace, Yun Yishu, with a basket of pastries slung over his arm, came to see Yun Duoduo with great joy.

I brought lots of delicious food for my little sister today. Let's see how she's doing!

As soon as Yun Yishu arrived at the entrance of the main hall of Fushuang Palace, he saw Jin Jinzhi's icy face.

Why can't this young man even smile?

[He had the same expression the last time I saw him, like someone had stolen his food.]

[A piece of wood would be more pleasing to the eye!]

"Brother, I am the Third Prince Yun Yishu. We met before!" Yun Yishu walked up to Jin Jinzhi, laughing and joking, looking at the young man in front of him with a slightly ingratiating expression.

Yun Beiye once decreed that, in order to protect the little princess's safety, anyone entering Fushuang Palace, except for the nanny and the maids serving her, must have his permission.

However, Yun Yishu was timid and dared not ask his father for an imperial decree. Besides, he came very frequently, so it was not appropriate for him to always ask his father for an imperial decree.

Jin Jinzhi looked at the chubby young man in brocade clothes in front of her, with a bamboo basket hanging on his chubby arm.

"Are you Yun Yishu, the ill-mannered and uncultured guy who said Zhuangzhuang was ugly last time?" Jin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow and asked him with a hint of mockery.

"Why have you gotten so fat again?" Jin Jinzhi couldn't help but tease the chubby little brother in front of her.

"Does the Third Prince not study or practice writing? How come he has time to come to the Fu Shuang Palace?"

Faced with a barrage of questions, Yun Yishu opened his mouth.

[You can talk! This guy is really difficult to deal with!]

"Who are you calling fat? I have a rich and noble appearance, most people don't even have that, you rude guy!" Yun Yishu snorted in dissatisfaction, looking at his little belly.

"No, young man, why are you still holding a grudge? Holding a grudge is not a good thing." He patted Jin Jinzhi's arm.

"What I meant last time was that Zhuangzhuang needs to drink more milk; she's too thin and small."

"Besides, how can you be so insensible as to ask about my studies?!" Yun Yishu said angrily.

"Can't we talk about something else? What's the point of studying compared to the aroma of braised pork knuckle at Manjianghong Restaurant? What's the point of trading rare trinkets and earning money to buy delicious food?!"

Practicing martial arts and calligraphy, and learning the ways of governing a country are all things that a crown prince should do. He doesn't want to be the emperor; he just wants to be a rich, wealthy, and carefree prince who doesn't have to worry about food or clothing and can buy lots of delicious food. That would be the happiest thing for him!

"Look, my sister and your sister sleep in the same bed every day. This is an extraordinary bond. It has also brought us closer. Aren't we brothers now too?"

"Little brother, let me in. Look, this basket of delicious food is for my two little sisters!" Yun Yishu raised her little face and looked at Jin Jinzhi with anticipation.

[Who said you two are brothers!]

"Is the stuff you brought poisonous?" Jin Jinzhi looked at him warily. Yun Duoduo's brothers often came to visit her, but none of them had written instructions. However, Jin Jinzhi knew that these brothers were all good people to Duoduo.

"No poison, no poison, absolutely not!" To prove that the food she brought wasn't poisonous, Yun Yishu stuffed every piece of pastry into her mouth and mumbled, "Look, I've tasted them all, they're definitely not poisonous. This plate of Osmanthus and Hibiscus Cake is my favorite, I'll save it for you!"

He wiped his mouth, took out a rectangular plate of white and yellow pastries from the basket, put it in Jin Jinzhi's hand, and then pushed open the door to go inside.

"Duoduo, your third brother has come to see you!" Yun Yishu shouted, his voice filled with excitement.

"Duoduo, have you grown up properly?"

Before seeing him, she heard his voice; Yun Duoduo listened to Yun Yishu's somewhat immature voice.

Haha, that's hilarious.

[You're still a child yourself, your voice hasn't even gone through puberty yet, and you're asking me if I've grown up properly?]

"Wow wow wow!" Yun Duoduo opened her mouth and shouted randomly, expressing her welcome to Yun Yishu's arrival.

Yun Yishu approached the bedside, and Yun Duoduo smelled a sweet aroma, which immediately awakened her taste buds and made her mouth water.

What delicious treats did my third brother bring her?

"Duoduo, have you missed your third brother?" Yun Yishu lifted the cloth covering the basket, showing the delicious food inside to Yun Duoduo.

"These are pastries that my third brother brought for you!"

"Look, this is a sesame seed cake." Yun Yishu took out a small, round cake sprinkled with black sesame seeds and put it in Yun Duoduo's hand.

Then he took out a sesame seed cake for himself, sat cross-legged on the ground, and ate it heartily.

Watching Yun Yishu eat, Yun Duoduo swallowed hard.

[This is truly devastating! Third, Third Brother, you're eating with such gusto!]

Watching Yun Yishu eat with gusto while she could only lick and gnaw with her protruding teeth, she felt incredibly frustrated.

Is this the inherent unevenness of human nature?!

After eating several pieces, Yun Yishu noticed that Yun Duoduo hadn't even finished half of the sesame cake in her hand. He slapped his forehead and said, "Oh dear, it's all my fault. This sesame cake is too hard. Duoduo's teeth aren't good. Wait a minute, I'll find you a softer one."

Yun Yishu rummaged through the tumblers and found a piece of steamed sugar-coated cheese, which he placed in Yun Duoduo's palm.

Yun Duoduo put the cheese in her mouth and looked at Yun Yishu with delight.

This is great! This is great!

Sweet and delicious, melts in your mouth!

She waved her little paws excitedly, looking at Yun Yishu with a big smile, "Sweet! Sweet..."

"Royal sister, your speaking skills have improved quite a bit!" Yun Yishu exclaimed in surprise. "Here's another one for you!"

He then stuffed another piece of steamed sugar cheese into Yun Duoduo's hand, which she put in her mouth.

Mmm, it smells delicious!

"Duoduo, you have no idea how difficult it has been for my brother these days. I don't know what's wrong with Mother Consort, but she wants to control what I eat!"

“My mother wasn’t like this before. She always let me eat whatever I wanted.” Yun Yishu pouted, feeling wronged.

"Now look what's happened! My mother is so strict. I can't even ask anyone to bring me food when I'm hungry at night!" Yun Yishu complained, while sweeping up all the pastries in the basket, not even leaving a crumb on the plate.

Of the more than ten kinds of pastries that were originally brought, including steamed sugar cheese, steamed chestnut flour cake with osmanthus sugar, Ruyi cake, auspicious fruit, plum blossom cake, and rose pastry, Yun Duoduo only ate half a sesame cake and two pieces of steamed sugar cheese.

Hearing Yun Yishu's complaints, Yun Duoduo couldn't help but wonder, "Could something have happened in the palace? Why has Consort De become so cautious?"
