In the study in the front yard, the two brothers, Honghui and Hongxuan, were chatting together.
"Fourth brother, what were you doing inside the house the other day?" Honghui asked Hongxuan in surprise, while taking the lead and walking towards the pavilion. "You used to always run outside and like to play outside."
At this point, a hint of envy flashed in Honghui's eyes.
His fourth brother was in good health and could play however he wanted. Thinking about his own health, Honghui's eyes dimmed as he arrived at the pavilion. He could only be an observer and watch his fourth brother play.
He also longed to play football, practice martial arts, shoot arrows, or even ride a horse, but alas... Honghui's eyes dimmed even more in an instant, and he couldn't help but clench his thin and pale hand.
Hongxuan, walking behind Honghui, didn't see the change in Honghui's expression, but his keen senses allowed him to feel a sense of loss emanating from the other man.
The feeling was familiar, and recalling the past, the little guy quickly understood that his older brother was grieving over his poor health.
The little guy was actually quite worried about Honghui's health, but his older brother didn't need it and didn't like being pitied or worried. So, as soon as Honghui turned around and sat on the bench in the center of the pavilion, the little guy concealed the worry in his eyes and pretended not to know, answering, "Big brother, you're asking about the other day. My mother was taking care of my fifth brother and had accumulated a lot of account books. She asked me to help take a look."
Hongxuan didn't hide it from Honghui. Firstly, it wasn't a big deal and there was nothing to hide. Secondly, the two brothers had a good relationship, and it wouldn't be good to keep such a small matter from his older brother who was good to him, as it would create unnecessary estrangement.
Hongxuan takes this brotherhood very seriously. Although Honghui admires Hongxuan's ability at such a young age, he is not jealous of him. This is partly because Hongxuan is kind and generous, and partly because he also feels Hongxuan's sincere brotherly affection for him.
Su Peisheng, who happened to be passing by behind the pavilion, saw and heard the two young princes being so affectionate, and couldn't help but feel gratified for his master.
Hmm, I must tell the master about this later; he will be very happy to hear it.
Upon arriving at the Fourth Master's study, Su Peisheng saw that the Fourth Master was busy, so he swallowed back the words he had originally intended to say to him.
I thought to myself, let's wait until the master is done with his work before we talk about it.
The Fourth Master was so busy that it was time for dinner.
It was only after Su Peisheng reminded him that the Fourth Prince realized it was time for his meal.
He immediately put down his calligraphy brush, tidied up the things on the table in front of him, and washed his hands and face and had dinner with Su Peisheng's help.
During meals, the Fourth Master followed the rules, refraining from speaking while eating or sleeping, so Su Peisheng didn't dare to gossip with him.
It wasn't until Fourth Master was taking a bath that Su Peisheng found some free time to talk about what happened in the pavilion that afternoon.
"My lord, this afternoon when I passed by the pavilion, I heard the First Prince and the Fourth Prince..."
Upon hearing that his two sons got along very well and were very affectionate, Fourth Master couldn't hide the smile on his lips through the rising steam, his eyes brimming with laughter.
As Su Peisheng had predicted, the Fourth Master was very pleased and happy.
However, when he heard Su Peisheng say that Hongxuan was busy with the account books brought from Taoyuan, the Fourth Master frowned.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, the Fourth Master had someone carry a lantern in front of him, followed by Su Peisheng and others, and hurriedly headed towards Peach Courtyard.
Originally, after hearing the news that the Fourth Master had eaten and washed up in the front courtyard, the people in the back courtyard, who were preparing to wash up and go to bed early, were all stirred up by the news that the Fourth Master had gone to the Peach Blossom Courtyard.
The wife of the Prince Consort of the Duan Courtyard was the most dignified. Before the lamp, she lowered her eyes, and in that instant, many thoughts crossed her mind.
Regardless of her past and present lives, she had experienced a lot. Although her heart was not without fluctuations and ripples, she thought of the Li family and the Nian family in her previous life, who were far superior to the Guarjia family. Moreover, the only person who was most important to her was Honghui. So, the Fujin quickly calmed down.
Under the worried gazes of Liu Hong, Yao Huang, and the others, the Fujin steadily adjusted the lamp. Once the light was bright enough, she naturally lowered her hand, sat up, and instructed Liu Hong and the others, "Prepare hot water!"
Seeing that their master remained calm, Liu Hong and the others immediately suppressed their worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yuan Li, filled with envy and jealousy, broke off her nail cap, only to break her own fingernail instead. Her hand was injured and hurt.
Hesheli, from Meiyuan, knew that ever since she plotted to harm the young prince, the Fourth Prince had grown tired of her, and even when he came to her place, he would only cover himself with a blanket.
It seems that it doesn't matter whether the Fourth Prince comes to her or not, but if he does come, what if one day he decides to favor her? And if she has a little prince then... When Hesheli woke up from her dream and faced reality—the Fourth Prince went to the Guarjia clan in Taoyuan, she was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred!
While taking a bath, she couldn't help but vigorously splash the water in the tub.
"Ah!" Unfortunately, the water didn't splash out, but it splattered all over Hesheli's face. Not only could she not open her eyes, but she also got a mouthful of bathwater in her mouth. She was really unlucky.
When Fourth Master arrived at Peach Courtyard, Jiaming, who had just finished bathing, reluctantly got out of bed after hearing the servant's report and went to wait at the bedroom door.
In the blink of an eye, Fourth Master arrived in front of Jiaming.
"Master, what brings you here at this hour?" Jiaming asked casually as the Fourth Master entered the room.
Fourth Master walked to the stool, turned around, lifted the hem of his shirt, sat down, and then looked at Jiaming with a raised eyebrow: "You don't know?"
Jiaming blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Know what?"
Fourth Master squinted and reminded him, "Hongxuan, settle the accounts."
