While continuing to watch the Hongxuan and Hongjing brothers from afar, Jiaming replied to Hongtao, "Yes, I feel at ease with Hongxuan around."
Red Peach: "...Yes, Fourth Prince..."
Jiaming didn't turn around, but continued to look at Hongxuan and Hongjing, saying, "Don't tell me that the Fourth Prince is still young and his thoughts and actions are not well thought out. You don't need to say anything. I believe him."
Since her master had said so, Red Peach could only frown and give up.
In the peach grove, Hongxuan had already led Hongjing by the hand to the mat, and he continued to lead Hongjing onto the mat.
Xiao Hongjing suddenly stepped onto the soft, bouncy mat, and for a moment, he was a little unsteady on his feet.
Seeing this, Hongxuan didn't stop him. Instead, he let go of his younger brother Hongjing's hand, and Hongjing fell to the ground, bouncing on the mat.
He struggled clumsily to steady himself, trying to stand up again.
"Pfft!"
"hehe!"
Hongxuan and Xiao Hezi immediately burst into laughter.
The other servants dared not laugh out loud; they all lowered their heads, their shoulders trembling, trying to suppress their laughter.
After finally stopping his bouncing, Xiao Hongjing looked up and glared angrily at his brother Hongxuan, who had burst out laughing, and Xiao Hezi, who was laughing beside him.
The two men, stared at by the round, adorable eyes, felt no pressure whatsoever. However, they coughed twice, afraid that their younger brother (the Fifth Prince) would get angry, and restrained themselves from laughing out loud, but the smiles on their faces remained.
After coughing again, Hongxuan reached out to Xiao Hezi and said, "Give me the rope."
Xiao Hezi handed the rope he had brought to Hongxuan. After taking the rope, Hongxuan straightened his clothes to make it easier for him to move around, and then he darted out and climbed up the tree in no time.
Little Hongjing, still lying on the mat with his head raised, looked at everything that was happening, and his little mouth opened wide with a "Wow!"
In an instant, the little guy's eyes lit up, and his little mouth kept moving as he praised Hongxuan, "Brother, you're so great, so amazing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy scrambled to his feet, jumped up excitedly, and continued shouting, "Brother, Fourth Brother, Jingjing, I want to learn, climb trees!"
Hongxuan looked at his excited younger brother and opened his mouth to speak.
I saw my younger brother Hongjing jumping up and down on the mat under the tree. He jumped twice on the soft mat, but because he wasn't used to the bouncy texture of the mat, he curled up and lay back down on the mat again.
Why did it fall over again?! The little guy continued bouncing on the mat, looking completely bewildered.
Seeing that adorable appearance, Hongxuan in the tree trembled and laughed again; seeing it, Xiao Hezi under the tree chuckled again, and the other servants next to him lowered their heads, shrugged, and suppressed their laughter.
"Don't laugh!" The little guy, realizing what was happening, was embarrassed and annoyed.
Hongxuan suppressed a laugh and said, "Okay, Fourth Brother will stop laughing."
Hongjing pouted, still staring wide-eyed at Hongxuan, "Liar, still smiling."
Hongxuan stood on a tree branch, rubbing his face with his hands. After a while, he let go and said with a straight face, "See, I didn't lie to you, Fourth Brother is not smiling anymore."
Xiao Hongjing was satisfied this time, and then turned to glare at Xiao Hezi, who was no longer laughing out loud but still had a smile on his face.
Xiao Hezi: "..." He tried his best to keep a straight face, but the smile on his face gradually faded and finally disappeared.
Without Xiao Hongjing needing to say anything, the other servants all tactfully steadied their trembling shoulders.
Sure enough, after glancing around and finding that no one was laughing anymore, Xiao Hongjing was satisfied.
But unnoticed by him, Jiaming was standing by the window in the distance, watching with a smile. Beside her was Hongtao, who had just been frowning with worry but was now amused by Xiao Hongjing's predicament.
While Hongjing wasn't paying attention, Hongxuan quickly tied the rope in his hand to a branch in the tree. After tying the rope, he threw the remaining long end of the rope down the tree. The remaining rope was still quite long, and after it was thrown down, a considerable length of it still landed on the mat.
When Xiao Hongjing turned his attention back to his fourth brother Hongxuan in the tree, he found that his brother had come down from the tree, and that a rope had been tied to a branch in the tree.
"Fourth Brother?" The little guy climbed up from the mat and tilted his head, calling out in confusion.
After Hongxuan climbed down from the tree, he came to his younger brother Hongjing's side, took his little hand, and said, "Come with your brother."
Although the little guy was puzzled, he obediently followed along.
Hongxuan led Xiao Hongjing to the rope on the mat, bent down, picked up the rope, and wrapped it around the little guy's waist.
"Fourth Brother?" Xiao Hongjing still didn't understand.
Xiao Hezi and the others, however, understood.
Hongxuan then tied the rope around Xiao Hongjing's neck and explained to him, "Didn't you want to learn to climb trees? I'll teach you. But you're still young, and I'm afraid you'll fall from the tree. With this rope and the mat on the ground, I feel more at ease."
Xiao Hezi and the others: Sure enough, the Fourth Prince wanted this rope for safety precautions.
After hearing this, Xiao Hongjing didn't pay attention to what was said after he fell. He kept thinking about how his brother said he would teach him how to climb trees!
Excitement and joy! The little guy's face immediately turned even redder.
So, Hongxuan first told the little guy some tips on climbing trees, and then climbed up the tree himself, combining theory with practice, to teach the little guy.
Xiao Hongjing studied very hard, but unfortunately, he was still too young. He did manage to climb the tree, but only a small section of it.
Back under the tree, the little guy lay down on the mat, looking quite dejected.
But they didn't see that Xiao Hezi and the others next to them all had stunned expressions on their faces.
Our little master, the Fifth Prince, is only a tiny little thing. For a child his age, it's already good enough if he can walk and run nimbly and steadily; don't even think about climbing trees.
But the Fifth Prince was different; he could actually climb a tree, even if it was only a short section, it was still incredible.
Suddenly, Xiao Hezi and the others remembered that when the Fourth Prince was a child, he was also very young and, without anyone teaching him, he climbed up the tree all by himself, which was incredibly impressive.
Hmm, no wonder they're brothers from the same mother, they're equally amazing.
Hongxuan now understands that he and his brother are different from their peers. So, when his younger brother Hongjing was feeling down, he squatted down and said, "Don't be discouraged, little brother, you're amazing."
The little guy sat up and continued dejectedly, "But, Fourth Brother, you climbed so high, and Jingjing climbed so low."
Hongxuan patted Hongjing's fluffy head and laughed, "Don't compare yourself to your fourth brother. He's so much older than you and climbs higher than you, that's normal. When you're older, you'll be able to climb as high as your brother."
"Really?" The little guy was no longer disappointed, and looked at Hongxuan with expectant eyes.
Hongxuan nodded.
The little guy's smile immediately returned, and he started climbing the tree again and again.
Sweating from climbing, Hongxuan stopped him and gently wiped the sweat from Xiao Hongjing's brow.
Looking at his brother's smiling face and feeling his brother's gentle wiping of sweat, Xiao Hongjing felt warm inside. He closed his eyes comfortably, looking extremely content.
After the little guy could no longer climb the tree, Hongxuan lay on the mat, massaging his little arms and legs to make him feel better, while talking to him.
