"Myna, wait!"
A childish and urgent cry suddenly rang out on the palace road, breaking the original tranquility.
Another morning court session ended. Yan Cheng frowned slightly, thinking over and over again in his mind about the various matters that had occurred during the morning court session, while slowly walking out of the palace along the familiar palace road.
Not long after he started walking, a petite boy with a childish face ran out like a gust of wind and blocked his way.
"Eleventh brother? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the study at this time?"
Yan Cheng was stunned at first, then he leaned over and touched the boy's head with concern.
As someone who had been in the upper study before, he naturally knew that this was the time when the tutor was giving lectures.
"I skipped class, but that's not important."
The eleventh prince docilely admitted his mistake, holding Yan Cheng's sleeves tightly with both hands, shaking his arm constantly, and said coquettishly: "My dear brother, can you go see my mother?"
"Aunt wants to see me?" Yan Cheng asked softly with a puzzled look on his face.
"No, I want my brother to go talk to my mother."
The eleventh prince shook his head repeatedly and looked at Yan Cheng expectantly.
"Why?" Yan Cheng was puzzled.
At this time, several court officials came over from behind.
Yan Cheng hurriedly took the eleventh prince to the side.
Firstly, he didn't want to block the way of the court officials, and secondly, he noticed that the Eleventh Prince's face was slightly red and he seemed a little shy, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to speak in front of so many people.
The Eleventh Prince looked around and saw that there was no one around. He stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Yan Cheng's ear, and whispered, "My mother seems to be frightened. She was frightened by the matter of the fifth brother."
Seven or eight days had passed since the incident with the fifth prince, but Yan Zhaoyi still woke up from her sleep every day.
A few days ago, the Eleventh Prince knew nothing about this.
But just yesterday, when he went to pay his respects to Concubine Yan, he was surprised to find that the dark blue color under Concubine Yan's eyes was so obvious.
He secretly asked the palace maids around Yan Zhaoyi, and only then did he learn that Yan Zhaoyi had nightmares every night.
The Eleventh Prince really didn't understand what Yan Zhaoyi was afraid of. He only knew that since the day his fifth brother was poisoned in the mansion and the imperial physician diagnosed him with a health problem, Yan Zhaoyi began to have nightmares every night.
So, he simply thought that it was his fifth brother's experience that frightened Yan Zhaoyi.
He tried to comfort Yan Zhaoyi for a long time yesterday, but today someone came to tell him that Yan Zhaoyi did not sleep well last night again.
He thought about it this morning and finally decided to skip class to find Yan Cheng.
In the heart of this little Eleventh Prince, Yan Cheng is both his beloved eight brother and his close cousin. Not only do they have a close relationship, but Yan Cheng is also extremely intelligent.
He firmly believed that Yan Cheng must know how to comfort people better than he did.
The Eleventh Prince knew very well that the concubines in the palace were all very concerned about their own reputation.
He felt that Yan Zhaoyi concealed the fact that she was frightened and had nightmares all night because she did not want to lose face in the harem.
As his mother's son, he had to maintain his mother's reputation, so he deliberately spoke about this matter to Yan Cheng in a low voice.
Yan Cheng soon arrived at Zhuixia Palace with the eleventh prince.
As soon as they stepped into the palace, Yan Zhaoyi saw the two of them coming side by side, and her face was full of surprise, especially when she saw the eleventh prince, the surprise was even more obvious.
"Shouldn't you be in the study room at this time?"
She also asked the same question as Yan Cheng.
Facing Yan Cheng, the Eleventh Prince could still admit with confidence that he had skipped classes.
But when facing his own mother, he stammered a few times, then hid behind Yan Cheng, carefully observing Yan Zhaoyi's expression.
No one knows a son better than his mother. Yan Zhaoyi understood almost instantly that the study was not on vacation.
However, Yan Zhaoyi's first reaction was not anger, but full of worry.
She hurried forward, grabbed the eleventh prince from behind Yan Cheng, and looked him up and down carefully, looking extremely nervous.
"But what happened? Why did Cheng'er send you back?"
The Eleventh Prince then realized that Concubine Yan had misunderstood, and he quickly shook his head vigorously to explain, "No, no, it was me who invited the mynah bird here."
"Mother, don't you always have nightmares? My way of comforting you didn't work, so I invited the mynah bird to come!"
So that's how it is.
A warm feeling surged in Yan Zhaoyi's heart and she was deeply moved.
She gently touched the eleventh prince's tender face, and the deep fatigue in her eyes could not hide the touch of emotion in her eyes.
"It's my fault that you've been so worried about me since you were so young."
Zhaoyi Yan sighed softly, hugged the eleventh prince tightly in her arms, her eyes slightly red.
She didn't expect that her little son would be so considerate and sensible.
"Mother, don't say that. As long as you can stop having nightmares and sleep well, I will be relieved."
The Eleventh Prince snuggled in Concubine Yan's arms, his voice carrying a hint of childish firmness.
Yan Cheng stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene, feeling filled with emotion.
Yan Zhaoyi let go of the Eleventh Prince and slowly turned to look at Yan Cheng, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude: "Cheng'er, thank you so much for being able to play with this child."
Yan Cheng smiled slightly, and that smile was as warm as the spring sun: "I'm not kidding. Aunt's matter is a big deal to Cheng'er. How can Cheng'er not take it to heart?"
Yan Zhaoyi said angrily, "Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter. I wonder where you learned this way of coaxing people."
