The bed in winter is the most tempting. Even though Yinzuo has been awake for quite a while, he still doesn't want to get up. His delicate little face is buried in the soft and warm quilt, rubbing against it, which makes Nanny Cheng, who came in to wake him up, feel a little reluctant.
"Good morning, Madam~" It was Yinzuo who greeted her first.
Nanny Cheng smiled as she walked to the young master's bedside, leaned over and said to him, "Sixth Prince, it's time to get up. You still have to go pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine. It will be noon by noon any later."
Yinzuo quickly used his hands and feet to sit up, and said in surprise: "Is it so late? Why didn't my brother come to call me today?"
Normally, his brother would come to wake him up personally and then take him to pay respects to his mother.
Nanny Cheng was worried that the young master was cold, so she quickly wrapped him in a quilt and turned around to signal the eunuch standing by to bring the young master's clothes.
"The Fourth Prince did not come today, but when I passed by him just now, I vaguely saw him reading from the window. The Fourth Prince is very hardworking. Perhaps he forgot to call you, the Sixth Prince."
Yinzuo said unhappily, "Fourth brother likes reading more than me. Yesterday I asked him to accompany me to the Imperial Garden to play spinning tops with Xiaowu but he refused. Today he left me behind again because he wanted to read a book. Is that book that interesting?"
Shunfeng, who had brought the clothes, helped Nanny Cheng to dress their young master. Shunfeng had been holding the clothes next to the charcoal basin to keep them warm, so Yinzuo would not feel cold even after putting them on. Nanny Cheng touched the clothes which were still warm and nodded secretly. The pair of young eunuchs who had just arrived to serve the Sixth Prince were both good, the elder one was meticulous and the younger one was lively.
"Shunfeng, if it were you, would you rather accompany your brother Shunshui or read those boring books?" Yinzuo asked suddenly.
How could Shunfeng not know that his Sixth Prince was having a quarrel with the Fourth Prince? Nanny Cheng was still listening here. He could not choose either of the two answers. If he answered the former, he would be comparing himself and Shunshui with the two young masters. Isn't this an act of insubordination? If he answered the latter, the Sixth Prince would definitely be unhappy.
So he smiled and said, "How can Shunshui compare to you, Sixth Prince? This morning, I heard from Su Peisheng, who serves Fourth Prince, that Fourth Prince slept very late yesterday and waited until you, Sixth Prince, came back before going to bed. It can be seen that Fourth Prince still cares about you very much."
"Really? Didn't we come back very late yesterday?" Yinzuo asked guiltily.
"It is a bit late, half an hour later than your usual bedtime. Fortunately, the Imperial Concubine did not blame you when you came back. Sixth Prince, go and pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine as soon as possible, lest she gets angry."
"Got it." It was all because the snacks in the Crown Prince's palace were so delicious and the things were so fun. He was so excited that he forgot the time and didn't even know when he fell asleep and was sent back.
After putting on his clothes, Yinzuo ran to the main hall.
Yinzuo straightened his back, entered the hall according to palace etiquette, walked up to the imperial concubine, and kowtowed to greet her.
"Xiao Liu pays his respects to your mother~"
The imperial concubine smiled and said to him, "Get up quickly and sit in front of your mother. Have you not had breakfast yet?"
Yinzuo grinned shyly.
"No... I couldn't bear to leave Xiaoliu with the quilt, so I just held Xiaoliu and wouldn't let him get up~"
It's interesting to listen to this little guy talking. I don't know where he got those weird ideas from. He was the one who stayed in bed, but he insisted that he was forced to do so.
"Okay, okay, it's not our little six's fault that he got up late. It turned out that he was trying to get into bed with his quilt." The imperial concubine followed up on his words and smiled as she ordered the palace servants around her, "Go and get some breakfast. The sixth prince must be tired from getting into bed with his quilt. The quilt belongs to our Chengqian Palace. I want to reward him well."
The palace maid responded with a smile, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became very cheerful.
The Sixth Prince is truly a little funny boy. Not only is he adorable, he is also very clever and his words are very amusing. Ever since he came to Chengqian Palace, he has brought a lot of joy to the Empress and everyone else.
After eating the delicious food and chatting with the imperial concubine for a while, Yinzuo felt relieved to see that the imperial concubine was indeed not angry.
But he was also thinking about looking for his brother. The further he got to the back, the more restless he became, and his eyes could not stop looking out the window.
Early this morning, Yinzhen came alone to pay his respects. How could the imperial concubine not know that the two little guys were having a quarrel? She wanted to watch the fun, so she didn't keep Xiaoliu for long.
"It's almost the end of the year, and I still have some things to deal with. Xiaoliu, go and have fun by yourself. But don't come back so late next time."
"Yes, Xiaoliu will remember it. Xiaoliu will take his leave." Yinzuo's eyes were shining, and he wished he could rush out immediately.
"Go ahead."
As soon as he came out of the main hall, Yinzuo went straight to his brother's room.
"Brother~"
Yinzuo called out happily, but heard no response from his brother. He felt a little strange and walked in to see that his brother was reading a book. He pouted and snorted coldly.
He was so engrossed in watching that he couldn't even hear me calling him.
Yinzuo walked to the opposite side of his brother, leaned on the table, and shouted loudly to his brother again: "Brother~Brother~~"
Yinzhen on the opposite side still ignored him.
This time Yinzuo finally realized that something was wrong. His brother was not deaf, he must have heard him calling him, so why did he deliberately ignore him?
"Brother~Why are you ignoring Xiaoliu? You didn't call Xiaoliu to get up this morning to pay respects to your mother. What's wrong with you~" Yinzuo asked actively.
Yinzhen on the opposite side didn't even raise his eyelids. Why did he ignore you? Don't you know what's going on?
After a while, Yinzhen found a warm little body squeezing in beside him, his arm was hugged, and he could hear the little guy whispering in his ears.
"Brother~Are you angry?"
Yinzhen felt his ears itchy, and finally turned his head to take a look at the little guy.
"Whispering is not what a gentleman does."
After being scolded, Yinzuo widened his eyes. His brother must have been furious so early in the morning.
After a while, Yinzuo tugged at his clothes again, and this time he did not deliberately lower his voice and asked him normally: "Brother, why are you angry with Xiaoliu?"
The room was silent.
Yinzuo pouted his little lips, rested his elbows on the table, supported his little face with his palms, and just stared at his brother.
Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by him, Yinzhen stood up, walked to the couch and sat down again.
But Yinzuo was like a little follower. He followed his brother wherever he went and even sat close to him on purpose.
"Why are you sticking to me? Why don't you go find your fifth brother and your brother the Crown Prince?" Yinzhen put down the book in his hand, his tone quite sarcastic.
Yinzuo then realized that his brother was sulking because he went out to play yesterday. But it was clearly his brother who was reading a book and ignored him yesterday, so he went out to play alone, but his brother was still angry.
"Brother, didn't you let me go out by myself? Fifth brother and I had made an appointment long ago. I met the Crown Prince in Ciren Palace, so I didn't go to find him. Brother, you wronged me~"
"Is Yuqing Palace so fun? Why don't you just sleep there? Why come back?" Although Yinzhen's tone was light, his words were extremely hurtful.
As expected of my brother, he is indeed a sharp-tongued one. Yinzuo was no longer angry. He just thought that such a jealous brother was quite cute. He lowered his head and chuckled, then put away his smile and continued to pretend to be pitiful.
"The prince insisted that I miss him very much, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. Yuqing Palace is full of the prince's people. What if the prince gets angry? Then my brother will never see me again~"
Yinzuo pushed all the blame onto the crown prince. He didn't know what to do anyway, so what was wrong with helping to take the blame? The most important thing at the moment was to let his brother calm down.
After hearing what Yinzuo said, Yinzhen frowned. The prince had been doted on by the emperor since he was young and was willful. He had seen at the palace banquet before that the prince seemed to be very interested in Yinzuo. In addition, the prince had gone there specially during Yinzuo's one-year-old ceremony last time. It was obvious that he had set his eyes on Yinzuo. The prince wanted Yinzuo to accompany him, so he, a child less than two years old, had to obey.
Yinzuo found that the cold air released by his brother seemed to have subsided a little, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued, "I met the Emperor in the Cining Palace yesterday. The Crown Prince insisted on taking Xiaoliu to the Yuqing Palace. Even the Emperor couldn't do anything about him. The people in the Yuqing Palace were all strangers that Xiaoliu didn't know. Xiaoliu and the Crown Prince had only met a few times, so she was a little scared. My brother was also angry with Xiaoliu..."
As he spoke, Yinzuo began to choke up.
When Yinzhen looked at him, he found that the little guy's eyes were filled with tears. With a slight blink, the tears rolled down, looking extremely pitiful.
He sighed, feeling a little regretful, and reached out to hug the aggrieved little guy in his arms.
"Be good, Xiaoliu."
"...I'm good~"
Hearing Xiaoliu's soft and sweet words, "Be good," Yinzhen's heart melted into a pool of warm water.
"Brother...are you not angry anymore?"
A muffled question came from his arms, and the little guy raised his head cautiously and looked at him, as if he was very sad that he was angry with him.
"Yeah." Yinzhen responded, and felt that he was too cold just now. What could be wrong with a child like Yinzuo? Even if there was a mistake, the one who was wrong was the prince.
Just because he is the crown prince, can he force others to do things against their will and take away their love? After all, he is too weak now. If only he could grow up quickly, he can take Yinzuo to build a mansion outside the palace. The crown prince will live within the palace walls. The rules of the palace are strict, and he can no longer force Yinzuo to accompany him for so long.
"Can I play with you the spinning top for a while?" In order to make up for the grievance that Yinzuo had just suffered, Yinzhen took the initiative to invite him.
"Okay~"
Yinzuo let his brother lead him into the yard. After a while, clear laughter spread to the front yard and was heard by the imperial concubines in the palace.
"You made peace so quickly?" The imperial concubine was very surprised.
"The Sixth Prince has a soft and gentle personality, which makes people feel sorry for him. Who can stand his coquettish behavior? Even a heart of stone would soften, let alone the Fourth Prince." The maid beside the imperial concubine said with a smile.
"That's right. It seems that I don't have to worry about the two brothers getting along from now on."
The author has something to say:
Can we blame Xiaoliu for this? It's all because the dim sum at Taizi's place is too delicious and the food is too fun. In short, it's all Taizi's fault, [狗头]
