Chapter 413 This person must not become an enemy
Yuan Huaihong stopped and looked back at the young man behind him.
He didn't have much contact with his second brother.
As far as he could remember, when he was very young, Shangguan Jinglan often talked about Concubine Jing and Yuan Xiaonian in front of him, but in Shangguan Jinglan's words, they were all unforgivable people.
At that time, they would meet occasionally and continue to be good brothers in front of the emperor, but Yuan Xiaonian would often do bad things behind his back. Yuan Huaihong knew that this younger brother did not like him.
Later, Yuan Huaihong grew up gradually and understood his identity as the crown prince. Concubine Jing and Yuan Xiaonian were also sent to the cold palace, and he had even less contact with Yuan Xiaonian.
But he never thought that Yuan Xiaonian would be a self-deprecating person.
He just turned around and quietly looked at this brother who was obviously connected to him by blood but always seemed very distant from him.
Yuan Xiaonian also stood there, looking at Yuan Huaihong quietly.
His understanding of his elder brother was even less than that. It could be said that before they entered the cold palace, all his understanding of Yuan Huaihong came from Concubine Jing.
Later, after entering the cold palace, he actually heard some palace people discussing Yuan Huaihong in secret.
But without exception, he had never heard anyone say anything bad about the prince.
Therefore, Yuan Xiaonian's first feeling was that this person was hypocritical and he was acting, playing a role that would satisfy everyone.
"What about you?" Yuan Xiaonian heard himself finally speak, "Are you really the prince who satisfies everyone?"
Yuan Huaihong's expression changed slightly and he raised his eyebrows in surprise. He obviously didn't expect Yuan Xiaonian to ask him this.
Then, he smiled and shook his head, "It's not like you can satisfy everyone, right? Aren't you just full of dissatisfaction?"
Yuan Xiaonian took a few steps forward, his demeanor no longer submissive. He raised his chin slightly and said, "It doesn't matter whether I'm satisfied or not."
"Who said you are not important?" Yuan Huaihong raised his fist and hit Yuan Xiaonian's shoulder. "You are my brother, my dear brother. Who dares to say you are not important?"
Yuan Xiaonian gasped in pain and said with dissatisfaction, "Are you using your status as the crown prince to bully others?"
"Isn't it okay?" Yuan Huaihong asked back, "I'm just seeking revenge. When we were little, you pushed me and punched me in secret many times. I remember them all."
Yuan Xiaonian coughed awkwardly and said quickly, "How boring! A dignified prince still holds grudges like this."
"Can't the Crown Prince hold a grudge?" Yuan Huaihong snorted in dissatisfaction. "I think even my father would hold a grudge, and..."
He lowered his voice and said, "And my father holds grudges more than others."
Yuan Xiaonian looked at Yuan Huaihong in surprise, and finally said speechlessly, "You are really bold. You dare to say bad things about anyone."
Yuan Huaihong smiled and said, "Why? Are you going to complain?"
Yuan Xiaonian didn't answer, but just looked like saying, "Don't think I don't dare."
"Okay, go ahead, it's perfect..." Yuan Huaihong's voice was filled with obvious yearning, "I'm really tired of sitting on the throne of the Crown Prince, so this is perfect for you."
Yuan Xiaonian narrowed his eyes and still did not respond.
They were both silent on the rest of the journey. When they arrived at the gate of the cold palace, Yuan Xiaonian prepared to go in.
"You are welcome to come to the East Palace often." Yuan Huaihong said loudly from behind.
Yuan Xiaonian paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. He spoke from afar, "Forget it. The less we see each other, the better."
Yuan Huaihong stood there motionless, watching Yuan Xiaonian disappear. Then he smiled, shook his head, and started walking back.
The young eunuch Jinxi who was beside him grew up with him and had always been by his side for so many years.
Jinxi looked at Yuan Huaihong's expression and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really likes this younger brother."
"Really?" Yuan Huaihong asked back.
"Yes, I can see that." Jinxi couldn't help but praise, "Your Highness has a lot to thank Princess Suining for giving you this opportunity to spend time with the Second Prince."
Yuan Huaihong smiled as he looked over. "You're quite clever. You know that this prince likes little Suining the most. You're definitely right to take credit for her."
"Hehe..." Jinxi was not embarrassed by being exposed, and said sincerely, "The Suining County Master is indeed a lovely girl. Who wouldn't like her? I am speaking the truth."
Yuan Huaihong did not continue the topic. He seemed to be thinking about something, and his expression gradually became serious.
Jinxi served carefully and did not speculate without authorization. He waited quietly for the prince to speak again.
"What do you think of the second prince?" Yuan Huaihong finally spoke again.
Jinxi also saw Yuan Xiaonian playing Luban ball, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "It's very dangerous."
Yuan Huaihong looked over.
Jinxi continued, "This man must not be treated as an enemy. He is too smart."
Yuan Huaihong nodded, indeed.
If Shangguan Jinglan had met Yuan Xiaonian today, he felt that it would be hard to say who would win or lose, and who would be sent to the cold palace.
Now, he accidentally saw this side of Yuan Xiaonian, so he had to make an end of it.
Either find an opportunity to kill him while he still has no strength, or become his ally.
Yuan Huaihong felt that he still needed to think about what specific choice to make.
That night, after Li Suining had dinner with her brother the Crown Prince and her sister Fuxing, she took her sister Fuxing out to look at the stars.
"Sister Fuxing, don't worry, I'm just looking at the stars. I like looking at the stars." Little Tuanzi took the initiative to hold Fuxing's hand.
Fuxing nodded.
The two little guys went outside the hall together and sat on the stone steps. Shaoyao brought them a thick cushion to sit on.
Li Suining didn't ask Xingxing in a hurry, but whispered to Sister Fuxing.
"Sister Fuxing, is Uncle Wenren Li your relative?"
Fuxing shook his head at first, then quickly nodded.
Li Suining understood that Wenren Li was not a relative of Fuxing in terms of blood relationship, but the two of them had always been with each other and were now considered relatives.
She asked curiously again, "What about your parents? Are they still in this world?"
Xiaotuanzi remembered that the data brought back by Feiyunmen showed that Fuxing was an orphan.
Sure enough, Fuxing shook his head slightly.
"Sister Fuxing, they say that after a person dies, they turn into stars and watch over their loved ones on earth." Li Suining pointed to the sky and said, "Then Sister Fuxing's parents must be watching over you in heaven right now."
Fuxing slowly raised his head, with his black hood facing the sky, as if he accepted what Li Suining had just said.
The little dumpling lowered his head again, and his voice sounded muffled, "But if you can choose, who doesn't want their loved ones to be around?"
Fuxing withdrew his gaze and turned to Li Suining.
Li Suining sniffed hard, holding back her tears. "I've been letting my imagination run wild again. Sister Fuxing, from now on, your family won't just be Uncle Wenren Li, but me too."
She patted her chest vigorously and said, "From now on, I will be someone Sister Fuxing can trust and rely on."
