The third prince was silent for a while, as if thinking about how to start.
After a while, he said, "Does Father still remember what's in this box?"
[Hey, instead of pleading for the virtuous concubine, they're chatting about family matters. Is this a confession? Tyrant, you better seize this opportunity.]
The emperor dismissed everyone else and glanced at the box with a smile.
"Remember, this is a gift I gave you personally. Are you not happy with it and are you giving it back to me?"
Yu Yiluo was so anxious that she wanted to go up and talk to the two of them. If you don’t know how to talk, then don’t talk. This is such a good opportunity to be sentimental, why are you ruining the atmosphere?
"I like it very much, but my mother said that playing with things will lead to loss of ambition, so she broke it. Why did my father give this wooden sword to me and not to my brother, the Crown Prince?"
Are you also hoping that he will indulge in pleasure and lose his ambition, so as not to steal the limelight from his brother, the Crown Prince?
He was originally very happy when he received this gift, but his mother's words made him feel as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, chilling him from the inside out.
[Tyrant, have a good chat. Tell the hero what you really think. Let him know that he misunderstood you. He hasn't turned evil yet, so he will definitely be moved to tears.]
"When you were five, you grabbed a sword. When you were five, you said you wanted to be a great general who protected the people when you grew up. So I gave you this gift."
The emperor paused and continued, "I don't want you to lose your ambition because of playing with things. The reason I don't value you is to let you know that showing off your talents is not necessarily a good thing."
The third prince pursed his lips, and his hanging hands trembled slightly.
"I still don't understand why I can't show my talents, but the prince can."
Obviously, they are all the emperor's children, but he pretends to be stupid, while the prince is praised everywhere.
"The Crown Prince is the future heir to the throne, so naturally, the smarter he is, the more he can calm people's hearts. You are different. You are a prince. If you are too aggressive, you will inevitably be dragged into the factional struggles by the old guard in the court."
The emperor took a sip of tea and stared at the third prince.
"You probably don't know your mother's identity. She was once the princess of Yulou Kingdom. Not long after she was sent here for marriage, Yulou Kingdom was destroyed by other small countries."
The third prince looked up in disbelief. His mother actually had such an identity. He had never heard his mother mention it, nor had he heard anyone else mention it.
"So, Father asked me to hide my incompetence because he was worried that Mother would use me to restore the country?"
No wonder my mother was so angry that I didn't choose a queen. This is the best opportunity to win over the ministers.
......
The third prince didn't know how he walked out of Qingxin Palace.
All the self-righteous cognitions in my heart were overturned, and the original resentment had no place to vent.
The bleak autumn wind blew his clothes, and only then did he regain some of his sanity.
"Third Prince, you forgot to take your cloak."
Eunuch Cao came out holding Yu Yiluo and handed the cloak to the third prince.
I didn’t want the little princess to grab my cloak and refuse to let go.
"Hey," Eunuch Cao coaxed in a low voice, not caring whether Yu Yiluo could understand or not, "Little Princess, can you give him your third brother's cloak?"
Yu Yiluo still held on to it and giggled at the third prince.
Eunuch Cao felt that he was really confused. Seeing that the emperor often talked to the little princess, he wanted to try it too, but the little princess couldn't understand him either.
Does the emperor usually talk to himself?
Looking at Yu Yiluo's innocent smile, the third prince couldn't help but laugh too.
Approaching Eunuch Cao, he said, "Wherever you want to take my sister, I will go with you!"
This was the first time Yu Yiluo saw the Third Prince smile. There was no pretense or calculation, it was a smile that came from the heart. It made his already dazzling handsome face even more charming and alluring, making people unable to help but feel moved.
After all, the Third Prince had never taken care of a child, and the Emperor loved the little princess like the apple of his eye. Just as Eunuch Cao was about to say no, the little princess smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and she stretched out her two little hands towards the Third Prince, as if asking for a hug.
"Hey, the little princess wants the third prince to hold her?" Eunuch Cao was stunned and handed Yu Yiluo to the third prince.
The third prince carefully took Yu Yiluo, and the little guy smiled even more happily, and didn't even want the cloak in his hand anymore.
"Third Prince, cloak." Eunuch Cao caught the cloak that was about to fall to the ground.
"You take it. Are you sending the imperial sister back to Concubine Li's palace?"
The third prince's voice was low and magnetic. Yu Yiluo smelled the pleasant fragrance on him and couldn't help but raise her hand to pull the third prince's collar.
No wonder the time-traveling female protagonist is so good-looking, the male protagonist is really impeccable.
If she had a face like this, the biggest regret would probably be that she couldn't kiss this enchanting face.
"Yes," Eunuch Cao followed behind the third prince, wondering what kind of magic the little princess had.
The emperor likes her, the prince holds her tightly when he sees her, the concubine also wants to take the little princess out to play, and now the third prince is also laughing with her.
The expression on his face was very sincere, and it seemed that he really liked the little princess.
......
Concubine Li was a little surprised to see the Third Prince coming over with Yu Yiluo in his arms.
After exchanging greetings, Eunuch Cao smiled and explained, "The little princess was clinging to the Third Prince's cloak and wouldn't let go, so the Third Prince accompanied the servants to bring her here."
"Thank you for your help, Third Prince," Concubine Li extended her hand and coaxed, "Luo'er, come and hold me."
[Wow, the Third Prince has talked so much with the Tyrant, he must be feeling bad now. Letting him go back would only give the time-traveling girl a break. He's vulnerable right now and needs comfort.]
It just so happened that Yang Xin was very skilled and knew how to control the third prince.
Yu Yiluo did not let go and held the third prince's collar tightly.
"This..." The Third Prince was somewhat bewildered, lowering his head slightly, "Royal sister, please let me go, Royal brother, please, be good."
[It's a shame. My tiny body can't do anything. I can only keep giggling and acting stupid. Why don't I give him a kiss? Every time I kiss my beautiful mother, she's always happy.]
Her precious daughter wanted so much to make the Third Prince happy that Concubine Li didn't want to disappoint her.
"Third Prince, Luo'er may be reluctant to leave you and wants to kiss you."
Concubine Li spoke up to remind the bewildered Third Prince.
[My beautiful mother really understands me so well, male protagonist, please lower your noble head quickly and let me, this peerless little cutie, give you a sweet kiss.]
The third prince lowered his head and tentatively moved close to Yu Yiluo's mouth.
"Baji."
The crisp sound reached the Third Prince's ears clearly, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.
He handed the still giggling Yu Yiluo to Concubine Li.
[I kissed you. I hope this makes you happier. My lips are almost stiff from smiling.]
The Third Prince, who was about to leave, paused as the voice continued to ring out.
[Wow, now I just hope you go back and don't listen to Yang Xin's brainwashing. The tyrant finally opened his mouth to tell you something, and if Yang Xin provoked me with just a few words, I would really cry to death.]
I was just kissed by the little princess. Could it be that the sound was made by the little princess?
The third prince glanced at Concubine Li, who smiled and asked him what was wrong.
Nothing seems to be wrong.
