The chaise longue was big enough, so the three of them didn't feel crowded.
"Xuan Yuncheng, someone touched your arm again the other day, and you wrote the book in vain again?" Xuan Yanyu hooked his fingertips into Yan Yuning's hair and twirled it, laughing, "How can you be so stupid to fall into the same thing twice in just a few days?"
The man continued, "You are the crown prince. How are you going to manage Xuanzhao in the future if you are so stupid?"
Yan Yuning put her hands behind her back and pinched the man's waist.
"Hmm?" Xuan Yanyu frowned slightly. He held Yan Yuning's naughty hand and said slowly, "You are five years old now. Why don't you practice sword skills and read more history books of Xuan Zhao instead of being held and coaxed by your queen here?"
The little guy pursed his lips and his eyelashes trembled a few times.
"I heard that you complained that the Imperial Master was too nagging and almost made him faint. Is that true?" Xuan Yanyu supported his face to the side and stared at Xuan Yuncheng who lowered his head with emotionless eyes.
Ye Chen felt a chill on his back when he heard this. His Highness almost made the Imperial Master faint with anger. Wasn’t that what happened before Queen Xuan came back?
Moreover, he had only told Ye An about it, so how come His Majesty knew about it and brought it up? When he returns to the palace, won’t His Highness be angry with him again?
"Your Majesty, I understand everything and I explained it to the Imperial Master, but the Imperial Master kept repeating it."
"Is that a reason?" The man played with Yan Yuning's fingers, his voice slightly cold, "Don't say that the Imperial Master is your elder. Even if the Imperial Master is not your elder, as the crown prince of Xuan Zhao, you shouldn't be so rude."
"Xuan Yuncheng, children from ordinary families would not be so rude." Xuan Yanyu's tone was not harsh.
The little fellow was so anxious that his face turned red. He said aggrievedly, "No, Grandpa Emperor arranged an imperial tutor for me. They read the same page of the book every day, and I can recite it by heart."
"I told the Imperial Master to continue speaking, but they didn't listen, so I refuted."
"They didn't listen. It was your Imperial Grandfather who ordered them to do so. Your Imperial Grandfather was afraid that you were too young and had learned too much and couldn't handle it. You could have gone and talked to your Imperial Grandfather instead of being so rude and saying that the Imperial Master was being long-winded."
"I don't know." The little guy's eyes turned slightly red, and tears of grievance fell.
Yan Yuning slapped Xuan Yanyu's hand away and carried Xuan Yuncheng out of the hall.
The man was slightly startled, "Ning Ning?"
Yan Yu Ning ignored him, carried the little guy to the bedroom, and said softly, "Change your clothes, and I'll take you out of the palace to play later, okay?"
"Queen." The little guy pinched the corner of his clothes, tears in his eyes, and asked carefully, "Does Queen also think Xiaoxiao is impolite?"
"I don't think so, Xiaoxiao. You've already told the Imperial Master, but they didn't listen. You said something to them, which is not impolite. Think about it, they didn't listen to you, but kept talking on their own. Isn't that also impolite? So, you don't have to take your father's words to heart."
"You can't blame us Xiaoxiao for being young. It's normal for them not to listen to Xiaoxiao."
"Empress." The tears that were held back fell down her cheeks. The little guy hugged Yan Yuning and said in a hoarse and broken voice, "Does the emperor hate Xiaoxiao?"
"No." Yan Yu Ning patted his back distressedly, "Your father loves you very much, he just treats Xiao Xiao as the crown prince and ignores that our Xiao Xiao is just a child."
"Father... Father, do you love me?" the little guy sobbed.
"Yes, love." Yan Yuning said affirmatively.
The little guy wiped his tears and stopped crying.
"Have fun, change your clothes, and I'll take you out of the palace later." Yan Yuning smiled and pinched his little face.
"Um."
After changing out of her gorgeous clothes, Yan Yuning carried Xuan Yuncheng out of the bedroom, walked to Ye Chen outside the waiting hall, and asked, "How many secret guards are there in the Crown Prince's Mansion?"
Ye Chen said truthfully, "Nearly a thousand. The Emperor has arranged all the top secret guards in the Xuanwang Palace to be with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
