Lin Zheyun found it strange, but still looked at his older brother.

"Second brother, you know that Qi Yuan is the emperor after all. You should listen carefully when he speaks," Lin Zhongyuan said with a serious expression, his young face tense.

Lin Zheyun was baffled: "Brother, what are you talking about? I'm not deaf, I heard everything very clearly."

Lin Zhongyuan was despairing at his younger brother's slowness: "I'm not saying you can't hear! It's just that you have to think about everything he says. Like what he said today, about the lychee cake, you knew your sister liked it, so why did you snatch it? Even he and the Regent knew to let your sister have it, but you were the only one who would snatch it!"

"So what? At most, I'll give all the lychee cakes to my sister next time. I didn't notice at first glance, did I?" Lin Zheyun thought back and felt that the pastries were all very exquisite. Several of them looked quite similar, and it was hard to tell which one was which at first glance.

As for the taste...

Hehe, by the time he could distinguish the taste, it was already in his stomach, so of course he couldn't share it with his sister anymore.

Lin Zhongyuan rolled his eyes and said, "In a couple of days, you can take your sister to practice horseback riding! Don't make your sister and His Majesty hang out together every day. It's stuffy in the carriage, and I'm afraid this kid might be thinking about becoming our brother-in-law!"

"Brother, where did you get that idea? That kid looks sickly, and it's His Majesty. I'm not happy about having him as our brother-in-law." Lin Zheyun suddenly became anxious.

He always thought his sister was the best in the world.

She's beautiful, cute, sensible, capable, gentle, and kind—he could use every compliment he knew on his sister.

Such a wonderful younger sister is naturally unworthy of any man in the world.

So what if Qi Yuan is the emperor?

He's so sickly, who knows how many more years he'll live? It's not right to let his sister be a widow!

The emperor's residence could be called the harem, and those kinds of places are ruthless and can devour people without spitting out their bones. How pitiful it would be if his lovely and gentle little sister went there.

Seeing that he still cared for Lin Wanyue, Lin Zhongyuan nodded slightly and said, "So you know what to do now?"

"Big brother, don't worry! I'll call my little sister out to play in a bit!" Lin Zheyun glared at her, looking quite the fierce general.

Seeing that he was becoming more and more satisfied, Lin Zhongyuan still reminded him, "Don't forget what I told you, use your brain when you talk to His Majesty, don't be so blunt, or he will get angry with you."

Unexpectedly, Lin Zheyun heard his brother's words and turned around with a chuckle: "Big brother, you don't understand, do you? I spoke so bluntly in front of him on purpose."

"If I want to be a general, a military commander, I have to be a bit reckless so that people will believe I am brave and invincible. Only sincerity can make His Majesty believe me!" Lin Zheyun was impulsive, but he was not a fool.
