Chapter 419 Don’t forget to tell him that you love him
In the game room, Li Suining finally coaxed Yuan Baoyu. Although the poor little fat boy stopped crying, he kept sobbing and looked very sad.
"Brother Baoyu, don't worry. The Crown Prince will persuade the Imperial Concubine, and maybe you won't have to study anymore in the future." She used her little hands to clumsily wipe Yuan Baoyu's tears.
"Really?" Yuan Baoyu pursed his lips, his big round eyes full of anticipation.
In the past, he felt that he was the happiest child and had a mother who loved him the most. However, in recent days, no matter how he cried, his mother ignored him and insisted that he study with the teacher.
Sometimes, he even forced himself to study hard, but those things were too difficult and he couldn't learn them, and his mother would be angry.
Yuan Baoyu was really sad. He wanted to play and make his mother happy, but now he couldn't get any of these.
"Didn't the prince promise you? Then he will definitely be able to do it." Little Dumpling said confidently, even though she had not asked Xingxing about this.
Yuan Baoyu nodded. Indeed, the prince had never lied to him and would always do what he promised.
"Then we will play together in the future." He said to Li Suining with a hint of happiness.
"Yeah." Little Tuanzi nodded vigorously, and patted Yuan Baoyu's shoulder like a little adult, "Then don't cry."
Yuan Baoyu curled the corners of his mouth, and the two little kids instantly started laughing together.
After playing for a while, they heard footsteps outside.
"It must be the prince!" Li Suining immediately recognized Yuan Huaihong's footsteps, climbed up with his little butt sticking out, and ran towards the door.
"Brother Prince! Brother Prince!" Yuan Baoyu immediately got up and followed him when he heard it.
Soon, the door opened and it was Yuan Huaihong standing outside.
"Brother Prince!" Little Dumpling was the first to run to Yuan Huaihong, looking at him happily with his clear big eyes.
"Yeah." Yuan Huaihong curled his lips, "Sister Suining, it's getting late, let's go back."
"Oh." Li Suining felt something was wrong, but he still let Yuan Huaihong put on the small shoes for him and prepared to leave.
Yuan Baoyu ran over and looked at them aggrievedly, "Are you leaving?"
Yuan Huaihong didn't dare to look at his pitiful appearance, and lowered his head and replied, "Yeah."
"So... did Crown Prince convince my mother?" the little fat boy asked hopefully, "Can I... go to the East Palace with you guys?"
Li Suining also looked at Yuan Huaihong with curiosity.
Yuan Huaihong held Li Suining's hand, and when they looked into each other's eyes, he sighed softly.
"Baoyu!" He finally mustered up the courage to look at the Fifth Prince. "Noble Concubine Yi asked you to read books and learn skills for your future. You..."
"I don't want it!" Yuan Baoyu understood instantly that the prince had failed to convince his mother. He sat on the ground and burst into tears, "I don't want it! I don't want it! Wuuuuu..."
"Baoyu, be good, get up first." Yuan Huaihong felt sorry for his younger brother and hurried to hug him.
But at this time, Yuan Baoyu seemed to be stimulated and just kept crying loudly, gasping for breath.
"Baoyu, listen to what your elder brother said..." Yuan Huaihong wanted to comfort him, but didn't know how.
"Your Highness," the voice of Concubine Yi suddenly rang out from outside the door, "Put Baoyu down, and you can go back first."
"Ahhhhhhh..." Yuan Baoyu cried even harder and shouted heart-wrenchingly.
"My Lady..." Yuan Huaihong felt that this was not a solution. "We can't let Baoyu continue crying like this..."
Concubine Yi was heartbroken, but she knew that if she was soft-hearted, her son's dream would never come true.
She must not ruin Baoyu's life because of her momentary weakness.
"Your Highness, children are like this. If they can't get what they want, they will cry and make a fuss. As adults, we can't just indulge them blindly."
Imperial Concubine Yi tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, her tone showing no sign of softening, "The Crown Prince and the young princess should return to the Eastern Palace as soon as possible. From now on...don't come to play with Baoyu unless you have something important to do."
“…” Yuan Huaihong saw that Concubine Yi had no intention of giving in, and knew that it was meaningless to insist any longer, so he could only let go of Yuan Baoyu.
"Ahhh..." Yuan Baoyu immediately lay on the ground and cried, crying very sadly.
He couldn't understand in his little head why his mother was so cruel to him. Was it because he was too stupid? Was his mother becoming less and less fond of him?
He felt so uncomfortable, really uncomfortable, as if someone was strangling his neck and he could hardly breathe.
"My Lady!" Li Suining couldn't bear to watch any longer. She went over and tugged at the hem of Concubine Yi's clothes. "Take a good look at your brother Baoyu. Don't you think he's pitiful?"
Imperial Concubine Yi didn't dare look at Yuan Baoyu at this moment. She was afraid that she would soften her heart, so she could only coldly say to Li Suining, "County Princess Suining, please return to the East Palace!"
Li Suining's eyes were red. She tried hard not to cry. She sniffed and said, "Your Highness, if a child can't feel the love from his mother, he will be very sad. He will be very, very sad."
She remembered that when she was in the Li family, the person she wanted to get close to the most at the beginning was Qian, her mother.
At that time, no matter how Qian beat or scolded her, or made her work, she had no complaints. She only wanted Qian's love.
But it was obvious that Qian's whole heart was on Li Changan and she would never love her.
So for Li Suining, the time when she realized the truth of this matter was the most difficult time for her.
She could feel Yuan Baoyu's despair at this moment, "My Lady, even if you want your brother Baoyu to study, don't forget to hug him and tell him that you love him very much."
Concubine Yi's body was trembling slightly, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn apart by her.
She still stood straight, not daring to look at Yuan Baoyu, but instead drove the guest away in a cold voice, "Your Highness, please go back."
"Okay, Madam, then we...say goodbye." Yuan Huaihong had no choice but to carefully take Li Suining's hand and sigh softly, "Let's go back."
Little Tuanzi nodded obediently, looking back at Yuan Baoyu every few steps. She suddenly felt a little worried, afraid that Yuan Baoyu would suddenly disappear from her life.
On the way back to the East Palace, she sobbed softly, "Brother Crown Prince, why won't the Imperial Concubine listen to us? Why won't she listen to what Brother Baoyu has in his heart?"
"Alas!" Yuan Huaihong sighed as he walked, carrying the little girl on his back. "It can't be helped. Sometimes adults always think too much. They will misunderstand children's thoughts, but they still firmly believe that children think this way because they are not grown up yet. Adults always think that what they do is fine and that they are doing it for the good of the children."
He said this, obviously thinking of himself.
The emperor and the empress forced him to enter the Eastern Palace, isn't that the same as what happened to Concubine Yi now?
