"I'm not tired, please lead the way, Granny."
The old woman gave a barely perceptible smile. "Yes."
While they were talking about their younger siblings, Ningxiangju was also talking about their eldest sister.
"Little brother, why do you look so down?"
Nan Kezhi has always been a meticulous person, able to notice even the slightest change in the expression of others, let alone her younger brother whom she grew up with.
The young man sighed softly, reached out and tugged at Nan Kezhi's sleeve. He said in a low voice, "Sister, you're the only sister in my heart. Suddenly having another one makes me feel strange."
"Moreover, I feel that Father is very biased towards her. It was clearly her who was impolite to chase after Prince Anzheng to the Eastern Border, showing no regard for propriety or shame. Yet she stayed there for two years before returning, making the Prime Minister's Mansion lose all face."
"But Father, instead of blaming her, even petitioned His Majesty for permission to personally bring her back. That's too much favoritism!"
Every time he made a mistake, even a small one, his father would punish him severely.
"Younger brother, be careful what you say." Nan Kezhi wanted to cover his mouth, but a serious look appeared in her eyes. "Younger brother, don't say such things carelessly in the future, or Father might hear them."

Nan Yichu disagreed even more after hearing this, and her brows furrowed in disapproval.
"How could that be! Who is Prince Anzheng? He went to the battlefield at the age of twelve and began leading troops at the age of fifteen. He killed countless enemies and accumulated great military achievements. He is dedicated to protecting the peace and prosperity of Dongling. To this day, the Prince's palace remains empty in the backyard. How could such a great hero who is devoted to the people take a fancy to her?"
When talking about Prince Anzheng, Nan Yichu's eyes always shone with hope.
The thought of the southward migration immediately dimmed my spirits.
Nan Kezhi was about to retort when she caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure in the garden.
