The little guy was small but ran fast, but he was still young and his steps were unsteady. The servants following him were always worried that he would fall.
Unexpectedly, even when he was running, his steps were unsteady, and sometimes those around him felt that he was very likely to fall, but he still kept running without falling.
Once, twice, three times, and so on, the servants who followed him stopped being so worried, because their Fifth Prince was unusual, and falling down was probably an extremely rare occurrence.
"Fourth Brother." His voice preceded his arrival.
Hongxuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small figure rush into the house.
"Fifth Brother!" Hongxuan called out to Hongjing with a smile, then reached out to help his younger brother Hongjing, who had come to the bedside, onto the bed.
As soon as Xiao Hongjing got onto the bed, he called out "Fourth Brother" and squeezed closer to Hongxuan.
Hongxuan didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he was quite happy to accept.
He stretched out his arm and embraced Hongjing's warm, milky-scented body, saying affectionately, "You're awake. Come on, have some water."
Drinking water after waking up is a habit that Momoin has developed, and he does it himself, as does his younger brother Hirokage.
Hongjing nodded happily, his eyes gazing longingly at his fourth brother, Hongxuan.
Hongxuan picked up the water glass that Hongtao had just poured and placed on the table, and moved it in front of Xiao Hongjing.
Little Hongjing obediently opened his mouth, waiting for his fourth brother, Hongxuan, to feed him.
"The two little masters are so adorable!" Red Peach couldn't help but murmur softly.
Green Willow, with her eyes fixed on her two young masters, nodded in agreement after hearing Red Peach's words.
Jiaming, who witnessed the same scene, rolled her eyes inwardly. Here we go again, really.
Indeed, she had seen this loving scene between the two brothers countless times. At first, she was very pleased that the two brothers had a good relationship.
Of course, seeing her two sons being so affectionate and neglecting their mother, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
However, she is not like Hongjing, who gets jealous and makes trouble when she feels a pang of jealousy.
She convinced herself to stop being so sour; a good brotherly relationship is better than superficial brotherhood or even mutual loathing.
Later, after seeing it many times, she stopped being jealous. Instead, she was quite indifferent to the two brothers' close relationship and remained silent, oblivious to others around them.
It's so sickeningly sweet!
Hongxuan and Hongjing didn't care what others thought of them. The older brother personally fed the younger brother water, and after drinking it, the younger brother affectionately called out, "Fourth brother, you drink too."
After drinking the water, Hongxuan told Xiao Hongjing a story. These stories were ones that Jiaming had told him before, and of course, some of them were ones that he had learned from Mr. Wu after he went to study in the front yard.
Hongxuan is a good storyteller. Although his language is a bit simple, he is very suitable for telling stories to little Hongjing.
Little Hongjing didn't disappoint Hongxuan's hard work in telling him stories in simple language. He listened attentively, his little face changing expressions from time to time as Hongxuan told the story, showing surprise, confusion, and joy...
Hongxuan was overjoyed to see his younger brother listening attentively to his story, and judging from his brother's expression, he clearly understood it.
When people are happy, they become more and more enthusiastic about telling stories, and in doing so, the listeners become more and more attracted to the stories, forming a cycle.
This cycle continued for nearly an hour until Jiaming suddenly spoke, startling both the storyteller and the listeners.
Hongxuan and Xiao Hongjing turned their heads in annoyance, their eyes glaring at the source of the sound.
Jiaming: It's clearly me, as their mother, who feels sorry for them, but now it's like I've done something wrong.
Hmm, it must be my imagination, but Jiaming's attitude inexplicably became somewhat subdued.
Jiaming blinked. "It's been quite a while. Let's have some snacks, drink some tea, and rest."
Upon realizing it was their mother, Hongxuan and Xiaohongjing withdrew their glaring gazes, both brothers somewhat embarrassed as they avoided their mother's stare.
Then he nodded and replied softly, "Mm."
Upon hearing the response, without Jiaming giving any instructions, Hongtao and Lvliu, who were standing nearby, poured tea for the two young princes and brought over some snacks, placing them on the table on the couch.
When the two brothers were eating snacks, the older brother would feed the younger brother a bite, and the younger brother would feed the older brother a bite. Sometimes the older brother would also feed the younger brother water from his own teacup, and the younger brother would point to his own teacup and tell the older brother to drink water.
Jiaming: "...I knew it, it'll be like this again." She muttered softly and indistinctly.
Red Peach and Green Willow, who were standing to the side, looked at their two young masters with shining eyes.
Jiaming glanced at the two of them and immediately understood that they were probably thinking, "Ah, the two little princes are so cute and adorable..."
After drinking tea and eating snacks, Hongxuan glanced out the window, then looked back at Jiaming and said, "Mother, I'm taking my fifth brother out to play in the yard for a while."
When Xiao Hongjing heard that his older brother was taking him out to play, he immediately stood up excitedly.
At the same time, she looked at Jiaming with longing eyes and said in a coquettish tone, "Mother!"
Jiaming was speechless. "Didn't Mother say she wouldn't agree to your brother's request?"
"Hello, Mother!" Hongjing immediately said kindly to Jiaming.
Hongxuan replied calmly, "Thank you, Mother!"
Jiaming always trusted Hongxuan, so she didn't go with him. She only let Hongxuan take his servants and the maids and nannies who took care of Hongjing, and then sent Xiao Hezi to accompany the two brothers.
Hongxuan knew that the area outside Taoyuan was not very safe, so he only took his younger brother Hongjing to the peach grove in Taoyuan.
He knew that in the backyard, Peach Garden was the safest place for the two brothers.
He planned to stay here and play, but Hongjing was somewhat unhappy.
Almost every morning after he woke up, he would go for a walk in the peach grove with his mother, and then go to see the flowers that his mother had planted.
He wanted to go somewhere different to play hide-and-seek, but his mother said that some people outside were bad and might hurt him. His mother was worried about him, so he didn't insist on going out for a walk so that his mother wouldn't worry.
At first, she thought her brother was playing hide-and-seek with her in the peach grove again...
"Don't pout and look unhappy," Hongxuan gently pinched Hongjing's fair cheek and said mysteriously, "Brother will show you something new today."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongjing's eyes lit up instantly. "What is it?"
Hongxuan didn't answer, but asked with a smile in his eyes, "Do you know where your brother is hiding when you can't find him during hide-and-seek?"
Xiao Hongjing shook his head in confusion, while looking curiously at his older brother Hongxuan.
Hongxuan smiled gently, "Want to know? Want to learn?"
Little Hongjing kept nodding his head, saying in a childish voice, "Yes, brother, you say."
Hongxuan smiled mysteriously, "I've only heard my brother say it, but I can't learn it!"
Little Hongjing blinked and said innocently, "Then, brother, will you teach me?"
As Hongxuan circled around Xiao Hongjing, his eyes kept scrutinizing him, and he hesitated before saying, "Well!"
