Chapter 427: Does Mother Still Want to Keep the Secret from Me?
In the game room, the three little guys, Li Suining, Yuan Baoyu and Fuxing, were having a lot of fun, especially the two little ones, after all, they hadn't played together properly for a while.
Although Fuxing was by her side most of the time, she was obviously very happy as she laughed from time to time.
Finally, Li Suining and Yuan Baoyu were tired from playing, so they lay on the ground together, head to head.
"Sister Fuxing, you lie down too!" Little Tuanzi went to pull Fuxing again.
Fuxing was a little resistant at first, but Xiaotuanzi was very persistent, so she had to join them and lie on the ground together.
"It's so fun!" Yuan Baoyu couldn't help but sigh, "I wish we could play together every day in the future."
"Of course, and call the Second Prince brother." Little Dumpling said with longing. She believed that the Second Prince brother would leave Leng brother soon.
Yuan Baoyu thought of his cold and annoying second brother again, and actually felt a little nostalgic. He snorted proudly, "Li Suining, how is Yuan Xiaonian doing recently? Did he bully you?"
"No, and..." Little Dumpling chuckled, "The Second Prince and Concubine Jing will be leaving the cold palace soon."
"Why?" Yuan Baoyu was obviously a little surprised. He turned over and looked at Li Suining curiously.
Li Suining also turned over and chuckled, "The Crown Prince came to see your mother today just for this matter. They want to help the Second Prince and Consort Jing together."
"Is that so?" Yuan Baoyu nodded in understanding, the corner of his mouth raised quickly, "Then he will owe me a big favor in the future. Let's see if he still feels embarrassed to bully me."
"Hehehe!" Little Dumpling couldn't help but laugh.
The three of them played for a while, and then Shaoyao came over, "Little County Lady, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he wants to go back."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Li Suining jumped up and went to hold Sister Fuxing's hand. "Sister Fuxing, come with me to the East Palace to play. You'll stay there today."
Fuxing seemed to think about it for a moment, but quickly nodded in agreement.
Yuan Baoyu was a little depressed, and followed them reluctantly, "Why did you go back so early? How about I go to the East Palace with you?"
"Next time, when you have just recovered from your illness, Concubine Yi will definitely be worried about you going to the Eastern Palace." Little Tuanzi felt that it was not appropriate.
"Okay!" Yuan Baoyu understood that he could only give up this idea.
Soon, Li Suining and others left.
Concubine Yi walked back with Yuan Baoyu.
Imperial Concubine Yi was actually a little worried, but seeing her son so happy, she smiled and asked, "Do you really like playing with them?"
"Yes, I like it." Yuan Baoyu obediently held Concubine Yi's hand, looking up at her from time to time, and dancing happily while talking. "If mother allows, I want to play with them every day in the future."
Imperial Concubine Yi laughed. The child's wish was really simple. "Of course Mother will allow it. From now on, our Baoyu can play however he wants."
"Then... can we call second brother?" Yuan Baoyu looked over expectantly.
Concubine Yi was silent.
Yuan Baoyu immediately explained anxiously, "Mother, my second brother is not a bad boy. Although he is sometimes mean, I really want to play with him. He won't really bully me. I think he is different from my brother, the crown prince."
Imperial Concubine Yi frowned and asked, "What's the difference?"
"I think he is different from the rest of us." Although the little fat boy usually looks heartless and only has food in his eyes, he is actually carefully observing everyone around him.
He said with some sympathy, "Brother Crown Prince, there are me, and there are also my third and fourth brothers. We all live in beautiful big houses and have a group of people serving us, but my second brother is different..."
He looked at Concubine Yi seriously and said, "Mother, the courtyard where my second brother lives is very dilapidated, and the windows are leaking. He and his mother must be very cold. Moreover, they don't have any maids around them. I heard from Li Suining that sometimes they don't even have enough food to eat."
At this point, the little fat man's eyes turned red. "Actually, I don't understand. We are both princes, both the emperor's children. Why is there such a big difference? Does the emperor... not like my second brother anymore?"
"This..." Imperial Concubine Yi squatted in front of her son and explained gently, "Actually, it's because a long time ago, Imperial Concubine Jing, the Second Prince's mother, did something wrong, so..."
"But what does this have to do with my second brother?" Yuan Baoyu couldn't understand. "If it was a long time ago, my second brother would have been a child. He probably wouldn't understand anything. Besides, even if he did something wrong, we are a family. Shouldn't family members forgive each other?"
He remembered very clearly that before, he wanted his father to play with him every day and felt that his father was not a good father. But at that time, Concubine Yi told him that his father was very busy and they were a family, so they should be considerate of each other. Even if someone made a mistake, they should try to forgive each other.
"Our Baoyu is right." Concubine Yi gently hugged her son, and thought of Yuan Huaihong's request again.
"But from now on we will be the same." Yuan Baoyu suddenly said happily.
"Huh?" Concubine Yi didn't understand what was going on. She let go of her son and looked at him in confusion.
"Mother, are you still trying to hide this from me?" The little guy was very happy. "Li Suining has already told me..."
He deliberately lowered his voice, sounding very mysterious, "We have to help the second brother together, so that he doesn't have to live in the cold palace anymore, and can be like us."
“…” Concubine Yi knew that Li Suining probably didn’t guess that she would refuse, so she told Yuan Baoyu, but did she… really agree?
——
After Li Suining and others returned to the East Palace, Xiaotuanzi went out to play with Fuxing, and Yuan Huaihong went to the study by himself.
Yuan Huaihong had not yet told Li Suining that Concubine Yi had rejected him. He did not want the little girl to be as upset as he was about this matter.
Moreover, he will definitely come up with a new way to help Yuan Xiaonian and Concubine Jing leave the cold palace.
Li Suining and Fuxing played games together in the game room. Although it was always very quiet when the two little guys were together, or only the little Tuanzi could be heard chattering, it always made people feel very good.
Fuxing would patiently teach Li Suining how to disassemble the Luban ball over and over again. Li Suining's silly look would sometimes make Fuxing laugh.
At night, the two slept together in the game room.
Little Tuanzi chatted with Fuxing in a baby voice, "The New Year is coming soon. Will Sister Fuxing celebrate the New Year in the palace?"
Fuxing nodded.
"I'll probably be spending the New Year in the palace too, but I... really want to go home."
The little girl was a little moved and sniffed, "Shouldn't we be with our family during the New Year?"
She excitedly said to Fuxing, "If I can go home, I will definitely invite Sister Fuxing to my house to celebrate the New Year. I have six older brothers, one younger brother, and one younger sister. It will be especially lively during the New Year."
