The Crown Prince was walking along the road with He Xue by the hand when they ran into the Fourth Prince, who was on his way back to Chengqian Palace.
"Fourth Brother!" He Xue ran to the Fourth Prince first.
The crown prince looked at his empty hands and shook his head helplessly.
"Greetings, Second Brother!" The Fourth Prince bowed to the Crown Prince.
"There's no need to be so polite between brothers!" the Crown Prince said to the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince was good in every way, except that he was too old-fashioned and didn't like to smile.
"Second Brother, He Xue, where are you going?" the Fourth Prince asked. He saw that He Xue and the Crown Prince seemed to be coming from the direction of Chengqian Palace. Mother had sent someone to tell him that he was going back to Chengqian Palace for dinner today!
The Fourth Prince has reached a certain age and no longer lives in Chengqian Palace; he has now moved to the Princes' Residence.
"Fourth Brother, my Uncle Emperor won't let me eat at Chengqian Palace! He wants me to go to my Brother Crown Prince's place!" He Xue said, feeling wronged.
The Fourth Prince was completely confused. What was his father doing? Why did he want He Xue to go to Chengqian Palace?
Upon hearing He Xue's words, the Crown Prince's face darkened. He felt it necessary to explain for his father, "Well... Fourth Brother, Father wanted to spend time alone with Mother Tong, which is why he asked me to take He Xue away."
The Fourth Prince smiled at He Xue after hearing the Crown Prince's explanation, "It's alright, Fourth Brother will stay with you! How about we go to the Princes' quarters tonight?"
The Fourth Prince felt he shouldn't go to Chengqian Palace anymore. He and Xue had already been kicked out by their father, and if he went, he might not even be able to get in. He figured it was better to be sensible and not go to Chengqian Palace.
"Fourth brother, He Xue should come with me to Yuqing Palace! It's not convenient for He Xue to go to the princes' quarters." The Crown Prince was worried about He Xue going to the princes' quarters. He felt that the princes' quarters were too simple. It was fine for his rough younger brothers to live there, but how could He Xue, who was so delicate, be allowed to stay there?
If the Fourth Prince heard the Crown Prince's words, he would definitely ask the Crown Prince where he was rough. Although he couldn't compare to He Xue, he was still raised with great care by his mother!
The Fourth Prince thought about it and agreed that it wasn't suitable for a girl like Xue to live with them. "Alright then!"
The Fourth Prince said to He Xue, "He Xue, you go to Yuqing Palace with your second brother first, and your fourth brother will pick you up tomorrow morning! Okay?"
"Okay!" Xue nodded.
"How about this, Fourth Brother, go and invite Eldest Brother and Third Brother to Yuqing Palace for a visit!" The Crown Prince thought that the First Prince and the others probably hadn't eaten yet, so it would be a good opportunity to go to Yuqing Palace together.
"Okay, Second Brother, I'll go right now!" Fourth Prince said and ran off to find First Prince and Third Prince.
"He Xue, let's go back to Yuqing Palace and wait for them!" the Crown Prince said to He Xue.
“Okay!” He Xue replied.
The Crown Prince continued leading He Xue toward Yuqing Palace. "He Xue, when you saw your fourth brother just now, did you decide you didn't want your Crown Prince brother anymore?"
Does the Crown Prince still remember that when Xue saw Xiao Si, she abandoned him?
"No way! I like Crown Prince the most!" He Xue said, tilting her head up at the Crown Prince. She was now determined to cling to his coattails.
"Really?" the crown prince asked, suppressing a laugh.
"Of course! It's even more real than pearls!"
"Yes, Crown Prince also loves He Xue the most!" the Crown Prince said with a smile, wanting to always be the most important person in He Xue's heart.
Soon the Fourth Prince arrived at Yuqing Palace with the First Prince and the Third Prince.
The eldest prince arrived at Yuqing Palace and saw He Xue there as well. "I knew it! Why did the second prince have us all come to Yuqing Palace today? It turns out He Xue is here!"
The eldest prince walked up to He Xue and ruffled her hair. "You've grown taller in just a few days!"
"Big brother, you've messed up my hair!" He Xue protested. Why does everyone like to ruffle her hair? Is it just because she's the shortest?
"It's alright, your hair is messy, let the second prince comb it for you! He's very good at combing hair!" the eldest prince said, suppressing a laugh.
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, who were standing to the side, also had smiles on their faces.
He Xue was speechless after hearing what the eldest prince said. How could the eldest prince still have the nerve to bring that up!
