Chu Huaize had been waiting in the imperial garden for a while.
As soon as he saw Li Shengyi coming, he couldn't wait to lift up his clothes and run towards her.
The palace maid following behind him was terrified and immediately ran forward, "Twelfth Prince, watch your step!"
Just as the palace maid finished her words, Li Shengyi saw the little ball running towards him, and rolled to the ground with a "plop".
She raised her hands to cover her eyes, took a deep breath, and then removed her hands.
At this time, Chu Huaize had been helped up by the palace maid.
She pushed away the palace maid who was about to kneel down and kowtow to her to confess her guilt. The little girl, who didn't feel any pain at all even after falling, stopped in front of Li Shengyi with red cheeks.
"Sister, you are finally here."
Half a month had passed since the last osmanthus viewing banquet. Chu Huaize spent his days doing his homework and only dared to secretly think of Li Shengyi while lying in bed at night.
Thinking of the sister who spent a quarter of an hour with him in the secret base.
Chu Huaize's eyes were bright, and since he was a prince, he was well fed.
She is fair and tender, with a rosy complexion, and looks very cute.
Li Shengyi was thinking about one thing on the way here.
At this moment, Chu Huaize himself was standing in front of her. She swallowed her saliva, and finally couldn't help but raised her hand and gently pinched his cheek.
"presumptuous!"
Before Chu Huaize could react, the eunuch beside him suddenly spoke in a shrill voice.
Li Shengyi, who was doing something bad, was so scared that his hands trembled and his arms fell to his sides.
Chu Huaize didn't hate this feeling of intimacy with others.
He is a prince, and the royal family is fighting openly and secretly. No one knows where he will die.
Even though his mother was the queen and his brother was the crown prince, his father loved him very much.
But he still had no friends in the huge palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids were afraid of him and avoided him. His brother and sister could not tolerate him and even wanted to kill him behind his back.
Ever since he could remember, he had been living in fear.
Now that Li Shengyi has finally appeared and is not afraid of him, he is naturally happy to be close to her.
Seeing Li Shengyi's arm shaking with fear from his personal eunuch, he immediately turned around and glared at the eunuch.
"How dare you! Who gave you the right to speak?!"
It was not the first time that the eunuch had seen the little prince lose his temper, so he knelt down to admit his mistake and kowtowed smoothly.
Li Shengyi took this scene in. She raised her hand again and wanted to pinch his little face to calm him down.
Finally, she turned her wrist and finally placed her palm on his shoulder, "It's okay, the twelfth prince is looking for me today, are you bored?"
Chu Huaize didn't like her talking like that.
He immediately ordered the eunuchs and palace maids around him to leave, and the latter still looked frightened when they were ordered away.
But for the sake of the little prince's face, he obediently stepped aside.
After everyone stepped back, Chu Huaize set his sights on Shen Wangchen again.
Li Shengyi followed his gaze and smiled, "It doesn't matter, he's one of us."
Chu Huaize then nodded and returned to the look of a four-year-old child he had at the osmanthus viewing banquet not long ago.
"I'm almost bored to death. The daily homework schedule is packed, and I don't like it."
"Sister, I want to go out of the palace to play. Can I come and play with you?"
"Didn't you say last time that your father gave you a lot of golden rabbits? I want to see them too."
Li Shengyi took in his every move, sat down with him in the pavilion, and said with a smile, "If you want to see the golden rabbit, I'll bring it to you next time I go to the palace."
"But you're a prince. If you want a golden rabbit, shouldn't you get it just by asking?"
"That's not the case," Chu Huaize's face fell, "Prince brother is not allowed to be arrogant and extravagant, and not even me."
"It takes a lot of gold to make a golden rabbit, but the prince won't let me have it."
"Besides, the atmosphere in the court is not good right now. Chu Huaiyu is targeting my brother, the Crown Prince, everywhere, isn't it?"
Before Chu Huaize could finish his words, he saw Li Shengyi stuffing a piece of cake into his mouth.
A hint of confusion appeared between his brows, and he saw the person in front of him looked around the pavilion. After confirming that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Twelfth Prince, shush——!!!"
Chu Huaize opened his mouth and took a bite of the cake. After swallowing all the food in his mouth, he nodded and said, "I understand what you mean."
"But I'm really distressed, Prince Brother... Never mind, I'm just a pawn after all."
I didn’t expect Chu Huaize to have such thoughts at such a young age.
Li Shengyi frowned and said disapprovingly, "You are not."
"Why not? Some time ago, I heard Eunuch Fu Hai say that my father was about to...Chu Huaiyu and Chu Huaifeng colluded to deal with my brother."
"If my brother can't resist, I will suffer as well. Maybe Chu Huaiyu and the others will use me as a bargaining chip to threaten my brother."
When Chu Huaize said this, he almost leaned over to whisper in Li Shengyi's ear.
The palace seems to have high walls, but in fact, there are leaks everywhere.
Maybe what they just said would be heard by other palace servants.
Thinking of this, Chu Huaize became even more unhappy.
"Sister, don't look at my young age. I actually know everything."
"I would rather be a child from an ordinary family than a prince."
"You don't know what I saw when I ran to the secret base just two days ago."
Li Shengyi originally wanted to remind the little prince not to continue talking about this topic.
She blinked when she heard the gossip and glanced around the pavilion again.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, she moved closer to the person in front of her and asked, "What did you see?"
"I saw Chu Huaifeng and the Imperial Concubine do that!"
There is only one imperial concubine in the Great Chu Palace.
Li Shengyi blinked when he heard that. Beneath his seemingly calm surface, he was actually saying "Oh wow" inside.
[Is this a fake? Are these two really that lonely? Why are they always in the Imperial Garden?]
[The twelfth prince is also a poor little thing, seeing things he shouldn't see at such a young age.]
[The one who is even more miserable should be the current emperor. There is a vibrant life above his head, but he is completely unaware of it...]
Standing outside the pavilion, Shen Wangchen, who looked frail but actually had very good hearing, said: ...
Li Shengyi swallowed his saliva.
She turned her head to look at the little girl in front of her and whispered, "This matter is between you and me, but you must not let anyone else know."
"Otherwise..."
He made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand.
Seeing the little boy nodding obediently, Li Shengyi comforted him the same way Qin Songmo comforted himself, "It's okay, it will be over soon."
As she was speaking, she heard Shen Wangchen, who was guarding outside the pavilion, suddenly speak.
"I, Chen Wangchen, greet the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine live long and well."
