Fu Huaichu, Su Zhiruan, and the third prince Fu Huaizhong all sat in the same carriage.

Fu Huaizhong was still uneasy, and his eyes couldn't help but look towards Su Zhiruan. If she or Fu Huaichu noticed, he would quickly look away.

He thought he had done it perfectly, but he didn't expect that Fu Huaichu saw it all.

Fu Huaizhong still felt heartache at this moment. He finally met a woman he fell in love with at first sight. He didn't even care whether she was married or had children. He just simply liked her elegant personality and appearance.

However, he never expected that the person he fell in love with at first sight was actually his sister-in-law, and even the two children were the eldest grandson and granddaughter of the emperor.

Fu Huaichu pretended to be casual and said, "Third brother, you are not young anymore. It's time for you to get married and start a family. At the flower-viewing banquet hosted by our mother, do you have a girl you like?"

"Flower viewing banquet?" Fu Huai finally came out of his own world. He repeated the term in confusion. When he realized what it was, he was horrified. "Brother, you can't just abandon the donkey. Before, the Queen Mother urged you to get married quickly. It was you and I who resisted together. Now that you have a sister-in-law, you actually stand on the side of the Queen Mother."

Su Zhiruan just smiled and watched the two brothers quarreling.

The Third Prince sometimes has an eccentric personality, and his emotions are all written on his face. Although a person with his personality, born in a royal family, may not be able to reach the highest position, he will have no problem living a peaceful and happy life.

Fu Huaichu seemed to be educating him from the perspective of an elder brother, but in fact he was just teasing Fu Huaizhong.

"Didn't the Queen Mother mention it to you?" Fu Huaichu raised his eyebrows, smiled and looked at Su Zhiruan, then continued, "This flower viewing banquet is held for you. All the girls in the capital will attend the banquet. Then the third prince will definitely meet the imperial concubine who will be his lifelong companion."

Hearing his words, Fu Huaizhong became even more resistant. He almost shook his head like a rattle, "Royal brother, you know, I'm still young, and I want to meet a woman who can make my heart beat." Before he finished speaking, he quietly looked up at Su Zhiruan.

This scene was naturally seen by Fu Huaichu again. He put his arm around Su Zhiruan's thin shoulders, narrowed his eyes, and made a decision in his heart.

Flower viewing banquet! He would personally arrange it when he got back, the sooner the better! Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage returned to the palace.

Su Zhiruan was anxious to see Zhezhizheye. Seeing her so anxious, Fu Huaizhong took the initiative to tell her about the situation of their brother and sister, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. The two little nephews have already won the hearts of their father, the emperor and the queen, and the whole palace dotes on them."

"Yes, Miss Su," the old eunuch who led the way in front of them smiled flatteringly, and bowed, "The young master and the young lady are deeply favored by the emperor, and they are always taken with him wherever he goes. Yesterday, the young master and the emperor reviewed memorials together, and the young lady settled the accounts submitted by the Ministry of Rites. The emperor praised the two young masters. The emperor's majesty is great, and you have taught them well."

After hearing the eunuch's words, Su Zhiruan and Fu Huaichu were both shocked.

Two children, aged three and a half and less than four years old, had been in the palace for only three days. Some were reviewing memorials, some were settling accounts.

This is no longer a child prodigy. If he is taught with more effort, he can become a great man! The old eunuchs are the masters of the palace. They have seen clearly how the emperor treated the two three-year-old children these days.

It is said that generations apart are close, and now everyone in the palace knows where this saying came from.

It has become a recognized fact that Zhezhi Zheye is the prince's heir, after all, they look so similar.

There was another reason why the palace servants did not dare to neglect them at all. The emperor personally ordered that the food, clothing and other expenses of the two children, Zhezhi and Zheye, could be comparable to those of the princes and princesses, and everything should be the best.

The old eunuch had spent most of his life in the palace, and he understood the principle that "a mother's status is determined by her sons". He thought so before he met Su Zhiruan, but when he saw Fu Huaichu nervously holding Miss Su's hand and speaking to her in a soft voice, the old eunuch was basically certain that Miss Su looked like just a merchant on the surface, but she was able to give birth to two grandsons who were held in the palms of the emperor and empress's hands, and now she also held the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Her future status would not be something that anyone could shake.

Fu Huaizhong doted on his two nephews as well. He added proudly, "Broken branches and leaves are really cute. As an uncle, I must bring some gifts for them next time. Oh, by the way, I helped them a few days ago, and the little girl Zhezhi kissed me and said that the Third Emperor's uncle is so nice."

After he finished showing off, Fu Huaichu's face gradually turned darker. He turned around and looked at Fu Huaizhong with a smile, "What did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Fu Huai looked at his increasingly dark face, and a sentence emerged in his mind - a man who knows the times is a hero, otherwise a flower-viewing banquet will be waiting for him. If he offends his royal brother again, there is no guarantee that he will not be stuffed with a bunch of princes' wives and concubines to disturb him in his mansion.

…

Soon, they arrived at the imperial study.

The old eunuch went in to pass the message, and when he came out, he flicked his whisk and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Third Prince, Miss Su, His Majesty invites you!"

Fu Huaichu walked in first, followed by Fu Huaizhong, and Su Zhiruan walked behind them.

"Your son pays homage to his father, the emperor, and to his mother, the queen—"

"This humble girl pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress—"

The three of them bowed after entering.

The moment Zhezhizheye saw Su Zhiruan, the two children's eyes suddenly turned red and they rushed over at the same time.

“Mom, Mom, I miss you so much, Mom… Zhizhi almost thought she would never see Mom and Dad again—” Zhezhi burst into tears, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances and worries. She clung to Su Zhiruan tightly, big tears falling from her big eyes, her long eyelashes were stuck together by tears, her snot and tears fell together, she cried very sadly, “Mom, Zhizhi will never appreciate flowers again, Zhizhi will never leave Mom again… Wuuuuuu…”

Zhe Ye didn't cry out loud, but Su Zhiruan could feel him burying his head in her left shoulder, and her left shoulder was instantly wet. He was a brother, and naturally he had to show his brotherly side in front of the delicate Zhe Zhi, but on the other hand, his worries were no less than Zhe Zhi's.

Su Zhiruan comforted them one by one.

"My dear babies, mother is back, mother is back, and mother will always be with you." Su Zhiruan hugged the two children tightly.

Everyone present who saw this scene could feel their noses getting sore and their eyes red.

No one disturbed the brother and sister. After they had cried their hearts out, they let go of Su Zhiruan and turned to care for their father Fu Huaichu.

"Ruan Ruan, I hope you guys can come back safely."

The one who spoke was the queen, whose face was filled with relief. She wiped her eyes, walked up to Su Zhiruan, and helped her up personally.
