"When you come back, find out what exactly happened to the Second Prince today."
"Yes, sir."
After Xiao Anzi left the yard with the food box, Xinyi asked while clearing the dishes from the table:
"Princess, why did you decide to have Xiao Anzi inquire about the Second Prince?"
Geng Youran was organizing the recipe for 'Plum Blossom Soup Dumplings' on the table next to her. Hearing Xinyi's question, she put down her pen and explained:
"I have a feeling that something happened between the Second Prince and Consort Li today. The Second Prince rarely passes by here, and even when he does, when have you ever seen him without anyone by his side?"
Xinyi thought about it and agreed with what Gege said.
Consort Li always cherished her two sons. Every time the Second Prince left Consort Li's courtyard, she would have her maid escort him a long way before she felt at ease.
But today is so unusual. Especially the Second Prince's expression; it's clear he had a disagreement with Consort Li.
About an hour later, Xiao Anzi returned and reported what he had found out to Geng Youran.
“Princess, I have learned that the Second Prince has been studying very hard recently. Today, his teacher was busy, so the Second Prince came to see Consort Li on his own, without even eating. But when he went to Consort Li’s courtyard, he was scolded and driven away.”
Geng Youran frowned. Hongyun was her biological son. How could she treat a five-year-old child like this?
"You just said that the Second Prince hasn't eaten anything all day?"
Xiao Anzi nodded and said:
"Consort Li has been making exceptionally strict demands on the Second Prince lately. Not only does he have to complete the homework assigned by his teacher, but he also has to get up early every day to review his lessons. In order to meet Consort Li's demands, the Second Prince often doesn't even eat."
Xinyi retorted sarcastically from the side:
"This Consort Li is being far too strict. The Second Prince is only five years old."
Geng Youran sighed. In order to inherit and possess supreme power, the fates of the royal children and grandchildren were arranged long ago.
"Did you tell the Second Prince to hide those pastries well?"
Xiao Anzi nodded vigorously.
"Your Highness, I told you. The Second Prince really seemed to like those pastries. He even said he would personally pick plum blossoms for you next time he has the chance."
Geng Youran smiled. This second prince was quite innocent, unlike his mother.
