But she forgot that she was much taller than before. Instead of grabbing the person's arm, she was grabbed instead. The person took a step back and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Seventh Sister, why did you start hitting me like that?"
He Yue recognized the voice; it sounded somewhat familiar. She looked up and saw it was the Tenth Prince.
Just as she was wondering why he was here, she suddenly remembered that the Fourteenth Prince had just returned and forcibly taken away the Sixth Sister. Could it be related to him?
The Tenth Prince carefully examined Heyue, and seeing her lost in thought, he waved his hand in front of her: "Seventh Sister, what are you thinking about?"
He Yue suddenly snapped out of her daze, blinked, and asked the question that had been bothering her: "What are you doing here?"
The Tenth Prince scratched his head and chuckled, "I heard you went to the palace, so I came here specifically to find you."
"What do you want with me? And why did you let the Fourteenth Prince take my Sixth Sister away?" Thinking of this, she became angry again. It seemed that she had no connection with him at all. What exactly did he want?
Hearing her soft question, the Tenth Prince blushed even more, his eyes darting around, stammering and unsure how to answer.
He had heard early on that she had entered the palace and wanted to see her. That's why he discussed with his fourteenth brother about having his brother take Zhao Jiayan Yue away, while he himself would cultivate a relationship with the girl in front of him.
But I can't say that, otherwise she'll get angry, won't she? Will she beat me up like she did with my thirteenth brother?
Judging from her skills just now, she might actually do that. Wouldn't I lose face in front of this girl?
That won't do!
Heyue, however, was no longer paying attention to his strange expression. Suddenly remembering something more serious, she glared at him angrily: "Who are you calling Seventh Sister? Who is your Seventh Sister?"
The Tenth Prince grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Fu Qing calls you Seventh Sister, and since Fu Qing and I are like brothers, I will also call you Seventh Sister. Seventh Sister, where do you want to go? I'll take you there."
He Yue was speechless. Wasn't this too overly familiar? What did it have to do with Fu Qing calling her Seventh Sister?
"No interest!" Heyue rolled her eyes. It was too late to chase after Sixth Sister and Fourteenth Prince now, and she didn't want to be with this silly boy. But she had nowhere to go right now, which was really troublesome.
"Seventh Sister, you must be so bored by yourself. I'll take you somewhere else to play." The Tenth Prince excitedly grasped Heyue's little hand.
He Yue was annoyed and slapped his hand away: "What are you doing? Tenth Prince, go play by yourself. I'm going back." After saying that, she quickly ran towards Yonghe Palace.
The Tenth Prince rubbed his hand, which had been slapped, and exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect that Seventh Sister, who looks so delicate, has such a strong hand."
Heyue ran all the way to the entrance of Yonghe Palace, and almost bumped into someone because she didn't look ahead.
The person reached out and pressed her shoulder, frowning and scolding, "Why are you running so fast? What happened?"
Heyue quickly took a step back, looked up and saw the Fourth Prince, grinned and said, "So it's the Fourth Prince. Um, Sixth Sister was taken away by the Fourteenth Prince, and I lost her, so I came back."
The Fourth Prince raised an eyebrow in surprise, but said nothing. Seeing her panting and flushed cheeks, which were quite adorable, he reached out and flicked her forehead: "A young lady like you has no composure at all. Remember, you are not allowed to run around in the palace."
Heyue covered her forehead and wailed, "Alright, I understand." If she wasn't afraid that the Tenth Prince would catch up, would she have needed to run?
However, the Fourth Prince's voice was so gentle, completely different from what she had imagined. For some reason, she liked this Fourth Prince very much.
Oh dear, Heyue slapped her forehead, almost forgetting that it would be best to hurry back before the Tenth Prince caught up. So she subconsciously grabbed the Fourth Prince's hand and hurriedly said, "Let's go in quickly."
The Fourth Prince was taken aback by her actions and followed her into Yonghe Palace.
Upon seeing Consort De, the Fourth Prince greeted her, saying, "Your son greets Mother."
"Get up," Consort De said with a smile, raising her hand.
Irgen Gioro rose and bowed to the Fourth Prince, who nodded slightly and sat down on the other side.
Before entering, Heyue had already let go of the Fourth Prince's hand, and now she appeared behind him.
Consort De asked in surprise, "Seventh girl, why did you come back alone?"
Heyue had no choice but to repeat what she had just said. Consort De was not displeased at all; on the contrary, she seemed even happier: "This Yinzhen is becoming more and more impulsive. However, with him by her side, Sixth Sister is safe and sound. Madam, you don't need to worry."
How could Irgen Gioro not be worried, but on the surface he could only pretend to be calm.
He Yue thought to herself, "You're not worried, but I'm worried that Sixth Sister will be taken advantage of by your son. I just hope that Sixth Sister can withstand the handsome man's advances and not be easily bewitched by him."
However, just now the Fourteenth Prince looked down on me and the Sixth Sister. Although he suddenly appeared and took the Sixth Sister away, it was because of the Tenth Prince. I suppose the Fourteenth Prince won't do anything to the Sixth Sister.
Thinking of this, Heyue felt a little relieved and obediently sat down next to her mother.
Consort Zhangjia and Noble Lady Bu had left before the Fourth Prince entered, leaving only Consort De, Lady Irgen Gioro, and the Fourth Prince.
Heyue noticed that the Fourth Prince had lost his earlier gentleness and had become cold and unapproachable again. He barely spoke a few words to Consort De throughout the entire time, remaining as quiet as a statue.
Consort De, on the other hand, was preoccupied with discussing everyday matters and children's affairs with her mother.
As He Yue watched, she felt awkward but didn't know what to say. After a while, her thoughts drifted away, and her gaze kept glancing towards the door.
Why isn't Sixth Sister back yet? Could she really be having so much fun that she's forgotten about home? Is it really that much fun? Heyue pouted unhappily.
The Fourth Prince noticed He Yue's expression and unconsciously curved the corners of his mouth into a smile.
This little girl is young, but she's very clever. Even the thirteenth brother has suffered at her hands several times.
What's even more remarkable is that she wasn't afraid of him and dared to complain to him; she really is a special little girl.
Judging from her absent-minded look, her lively eyes kept darting towards the door; she must be bored too.
He understood his mother's thoughts, but this matter was not so easy. Although Marhan was a warrior with a straightforward personality and had offended many people, he was very much liked by his father, the Emperor. It was precisely because of this that his father would not easily agree.
Thinking it over, he stood up and bid farewell to Consort De: "Mother, I still need to visit the Crown Prince, so I won't stay any longer."
Consort De realized that she had neglected her son and felt a little uncomfortable. Her expression softened, and she nodded, "In that case, you may go."
The Fourth Prince nodded slightly. As he was leaving, he glanced at Xiao Heyue, who was idly playing with her fingers, and suddenly said to Lady Irgen Gioro, "Madam Vice Minister, I find your Seventh Princess quite bored. Would you mind if I took her out for a walk?"
Lady Irgen Gioro was taken aback, not expecting the Fourth Prince to bring this up. She was also worried that Heyue might inadvertently offend the cold-faced Fourth Prince, so she hesitated and said, "My daughter is young and playful, and I'm afraid she might delay the Fourth Prince's important business."
