Chapter 428 Why Do You Make Decisions for Me?
"Sister Fuxing, do you want to go?" Li Suining asked excitedly.
In fact, she knew that if Fuxing was willing, they could definitely go home for the New Year. After all, the emperor now listened particularly to Fuxing and Wenren Li.
She also knew that she was playing tricks, and Sister Fuxing was so smart that she must have seen through it long ago, but she really wanted to take Sister Fuxing home for the New Year, let her meet her father and brothers, and make her... stop.
However, this time, Fuxing obviously would not agree easily, so she did not respond for a long time.
"It's okay." Although the little girl felt a little disappointed, she didn't want to force Fuxing any further. "Next time there's a chance, I'll introduce you to each other."
Fuxing nodded slightly.
The next day, after sending Fuxing away, Li Suining smiled and asked Yuan Huaihong, "Brother Crown Prince, when you go to look for brother Second Prince later, please take me with you."
"Huh?" Yuan Huaihong was stunned for a moment, "When did I... say I was going to look for the Second Prince?"
The little girl said confidently, "Soon."
Yuan Huaihong frowned, then quickly realized what the little girl meant. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Suining, actually, yesterday... Imperial Concubine Yi..."
At this time, the young eunuch Jinxi came in from outside, "Your Highness, Concubine Yi is here!"
"Noble Concubine Yi?" Yuan Huaihong was slightly surprised.
He subconsciously glanced at Li Suining, and asked Jinxi to invite Concubine Yi in.
"Your Highness," Imperial Concubine Yi looked tired, as if she hadn't slept well the previous night. "What you said yesterday..."
"Your Majesty, I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have..." Yuan Huaihong saw that Concubine Yi looked so haggard and instantly guessed why. He felt a little guilty for a moment.
"No, no." Concubine Yi shook her head. "I agree with what you said yesterday."
"What?" Yuan Huaihong was startled for a moment. Thinking of what Xiaotuanzi had just said, he subconsciously looked at Xiaotuanzi again.
The little girl winked at him mischievously. Before going to bed last night, she had asked Xingxing, so she naturally knew that Concubine Yi would come today.
"Your Highness..." Yuan Huaihong felt even more embarrassed at this point. "Actually, I rethought what happened yesterday last night. I don't necessarily need my fifth brother to take the risk. I can..."
"But letting Baoyu go is the best choice." Obviously, Concubine Yi had thought it over carefully.
Yuan Huaihong nodded. It was indeed the case. He had thought about it last night. If he went there himself, he must do it with real weapons and not let others find any suspicious points.
"As for Baoyu, I also told him about it. He was very happy to help the Second Prince." Speaking of this, Concubine Yi smiled with satisfaction. "I didn't expect that this child would be braver than me, his mother."
"Brother Baoyu has always been very brave!" Li Suining said with a smile.
"Okay, I came here just to talk about this matter. From now on, please let me know if you need any cooperation." Concubine Yi left quickly.
Yuan Huaihong was extremely happy. He took a few steps forward and picked up the little girl. "Did you know that Imperial Concubine Yi would come today?"
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling nodded honestly, "Xingxing told me everything last night, but..."
She said with a troubled look on her face, "However, I'm afraid the Second Prince won't cooperate easily. We still have to find a way to convince him."
Li Suining told Yuan Huaihong everything that Xingxing told her yesterday.
It turned out that they went to find Yuan Xiaonian, but Yuan Xiaonian did not agree to this matter and was unwilling to leave the cold palace. No matter how they persuaded him, it was useless, and they were finally driven out by Yuan Xiaonian.
Yuan Huaihong now has more confidence in Xiaotuanzi's stargazing ability. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. If Yuan Xiaonian doesn't agree, then they will fail.
Both of them fell silent, staring at each other, thinking together about how to convince Yuan Xiaonian.
"How about we persuade Concubine Jing first? Let Concubine Jing persuade the second brother?" Yuan Huaihong was the first to think of a solution.
It's a pity that Li Suining couldn't predict the outcome, but she felt that this method might not work. "I think... the Second Prince doesn't listen to Concubine Jing. Between them, Concubine Jing listens to the Second Prince more."
Yuan Huaihong nodded, as if it was indeed the case. It could be seen in the cold palace that day that Concubine Jing was very dependent on Yuan Xiaonian.
The two of them thought for a long time, and the little girl's face was wrinkled like a bun with worry, but they still couldn't think of a good solution.
"Forget it, let's go first and persuade the second brother later." Yuan Huaihong felt that it was not a solution to continue wasting time like this.
"Okay, if we fail this time, we can try again next time." The little dumpling nodded in agreement.
The two hit it off and decided to go to the cold palace first to persuade Yuan Xiaonian.
Yuan Xiaonian obviously didn't expect Yuan Huaihong to come to the cold palace so soon. He looked a little unwelcome and said coldly, "Why are you here again? What? Do you feel comfortable seeing us not doing well?"
"Second Prince, you know very well that Crown Prince wouldn't think so." Little Dumpling was a little helpless.
Yuan Xiaonian snorted, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. How can you know what he really thinks?"
"Second brother, I came here this time to help you and Concubine Jing leave the cold palace." Yuan Huaihong said with a firm look.
"What?" Yuan Xiaonian suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Second brother, you heard it right. I want my father to issue another decree to let you and Concubine Jing leave the cold palace." Yuan Huaihong repeated firmly.
Yuan Xiaonian was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Are you kidding me? Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know this sounds incredible, but I've looked up historical records and have come up with a plan. As long as you save the fifth brother's life, my father and mother will have to reward you accordingly. Then, I'll work with Concubine Yi to convince them to let you and Concubine Jing move out of the cold palace. It shouldn't be a problem."
Yuan Huaihong's words were sincere and heartfelt.
However, Yuan Xiaonian still had that cynical look on his face. "Your Highness, aren't you a little too self-righteous? Did I ever say I wanted to leave the cold palace? Who do you think you are? Why should you make decisions for me?"
"Second brother, please don't be like this. You know, I'm also thinking about you and Concubine Jing." Yuan Huaihong sighed, "You really can't live in this place anymore."
Yuan Xiaonian suddenly laughed, and laughed very loudly. As he laughed, he said, "Yuan Huaihong, Yuan Huaihong, do you know? If we stay in the cold palace, at least we can survive. But if we go out, who will guarantee that my mother and I can survive? Do you have the ability to do that?"
"..." Yuan Huaihong paused before continuing, "Second brother, don't be so pessimistic. You are the emperor's child, and Concubine Jing was once his lover. I believe that after leaving the cold palace, you can live safely in the harem. Of course, I will help you."
"Get out!" Yuan Xiaonian suddenly became angry and pushed Yuan Huaihong hard. "Put away your hypocritical concern and get out now!"
