Upon hearing Wanwan's words, the Crown Prince suddenly remembered what his elder brother had told him earlier that day: "Mother, my elder brother asked me to send some golden thread rolls as well, saying that they are his favorite food."
Wanwan replied, "Didn't I already say that they can deliver it themselves? Besides, I didn't stop them."
Hearing this, the Crown Prince said helplessly, "Empress Mother, not everyone is as unafraid of Father as you are. They are also afraid that if they send too many gifts, Father will scold them for disturbing our studies. So they rarely send gifts. Most of the time, they will specially instruct someone to send some of our favorite foods at lunchtime."
Yinyu was engrossed in eating his rice. Upon hearing this, he looked up and said, "That's right, Mother. Although the things you sent were plentiful, after the brothers divided them up, there wasn't much left. They could only eat until they were half full."
Wanwan looked at Yinyu and spoke before even swallowing her food. She didn't know what to say. "Mother has said many times that it's okay to talk, but you have to swallow your food first. If you make this kind of mistake, you'll lose everything you have in the future."
Yinyu immediately swallowed his food. "Mother, I was wrong," he admitted his mistake quickly, but when it came to correcting it, who knows.
"Besides, being half full isn't enough. Do you want to be completely full? Lunch is in an hour. If you're already full, will you still want to eat lunch?"
"I understand what Yinreng said. When we send them, we'll send more of the other kinds," Wanwan thought for a moment. This wasn't a big deal; it was something she could do easily and would also win over all the princes.
Why not?
Wanwan looked up at Yinzhen and said, "Fourth Prince, why aren't you saying anything? Although you were affected by what happened last time, you can't let a bad experience stop you from doing anything."
Yinzhen is now genuinely afraid of saying too much and making mistakes; a habit of decades cannot be changed quickly in just a few months.
"Mother, I'm just listening to what you have to say," Wanwan said, trying to keep her voice relaxed, but she still noticed that it was a little stiff.
Wanwan didn't expect to be able to immediately correct his temperament. "Well, I just feel that you've been a bit too upright these past few months, which is different from before. Oh well, I won't make things difficult for you. Being cautious and well-behaved isn't a bad thing, but don't be too well-behaved. I feel a bit awkward about it."
Hearing his mother's words, Yinzhen felt a little relieved. "Mother is right. I will gradually correct my ways."
………………………
After dinner, the three of them returned to their residence.
Wanwan had already prepared several portions of fruit. "These are what your mother prepared for you to take with you when you leave. They were just delivered to the palace today and are still very fresh."
The three thanked him and took their share back to their lodgings.
Yinzhen no longer lives with the Crown Prince, but has returned to his original residence in the Southern Third Palace. Yinyu either stays at the Crown Prince's palace or his fourth brother's residence, and rarely sleeps alone.
Yinyu said, "Second brother, I'm going to sleep with fourth brother tonight. You can go first."
The Crown Prince said it was normal, since it was just a choice between two options anyway. "Alright, then I'll go back to Yuqing Palace first."
Yinyu and Yinzhen returned to the South Third Palace together. In fact, Yinyu's residence after class was next to his fourth brother's, but he almost never went back. "Fourth brother, I have noticed a problem. I have noticed that you have been acting abnormally these past few months. It's like you have become a different person."
