Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Qianlong narrowed his eyes, touched his chin, and thought secretly.

This should be a surprise for Yongqi!

Yongqi: ...Haha.

On the way back, Yongji met Yongjing, and thinking about it made him shed tears of sadness.

Obviously, there is not much age difference between the two of them, yet one is still fighting crickets, while the other is competing with the Emperor in a battle of wits and courage.

However, Yongqi was a child who never grew up in front of Hexi, but a majestic brother in front of Yongjing.

When Yongjing was a child, he was in poor health and Yongqi took good care of his younger brother.

Therefore, the relationship between the two brothers is still very good.

"Brother, let's go see sister!" Yongjing blinked his big eyes and suggested excitedly.

They have many sisters, but only Hexi is called sister, while the others have to be preceded by their names.

Yongqi thought about it for a while, and he didn't know whether it would disturb Hexi. When you grow up, you can't do many things as you please.

"Okay!" These days, when he heard Fu Kang'an talk about He Xi's recent situation, he was also very worried.

"Oh!" Yongjing cheered, and the two brothers agreed to leave the palace together and go to Hexi's princess mansion tomorrow.

The little boy Yongjing seemed happier, while the slightly older Yongqi was more stable, but the smile on his face also showed that he was in a good mood.

It was good, he could grow up quickly, and his brother could grow up without worries. Compared to the cowardly self in his nightmare, the miserable Empress Dowager, and the sister who didn't exist at all, he was very satisfied now.

If possible, give him a little more time and he will become their umbrella.

Yongji swore secretly in his heart. Yongjing turned around and saw Yongji.

He rubbed his eyes in confusion. How come it felt like his brother had grown taller in an instant?

Illusion? Illusion!

Yongjing put on his naive smile again.

The next day, Yongjing, who always liked to stay in bed, got up early for the first time.

She was waiting for Yongqi at the palace gate early in the morning.

Yongji was shocked. Is this still the Yongjing with procrastination?

Yongjing had no idea that his dearest brother was silently dissing him in his heart, and he was still happy about leaving the palace after a long absence.

When passing by Longyuanlou, Yongjing thought that Hexi seemed to like the pastries here the most, so he suggested buying one.

Yongqi stopped him with a complicated expression.

Is it possible that the master here had already been poached and moved to the princess's mansion?

If you ask him how he knew that, it was because the emperor's uncle cried so hard in the imperial study that it shook the heavens and the earth and made the gods and ghosts cry. Emperor Qianlong then carried him out. What a promising guy!

Yongqi, who was busy reviewing memorials in the compartment of the imperial study at the time, was fortunate enough to witness it with his own eyes.

Qianlong, who had always been very tolerant of his younger brother, refused to give in this time. He heard that Hexi's appetite had improved a lot now, so what was a younger brother to him!

Hong Zhou had no choice but to give up and return in defeat.

After knowing the whole story, Yongjing gave up the idea in disappointment.

Of course, for the sake of Hongzhou's remaining dignity, Yongqi explained it in a more tactful way, but Yongjing, who had a rich imagination, said that he already had a picture.

Yongqi sent someone to the princess's mansion to pass on the message in advance, so when they arrived, Hexi had already sent someone to greet them at the door.

Hexi did not come out due to her heavy body condition, and Yongqi and Yongjing knew about it.

"Greetings to the Twelfth Prince!"

"Greetings to the Thirteenth Prince!"

"No gift."

"Please come in, Twelfth and Thirteenth Princes. Our princess has given instructions early this morning and is looking forward to your arrival."

The butler is good at speaking and has good etiquette.

Yongji and Yongjing came to visit Hexi, so they were naturally friendly.

After they entered the mansion, Yongqi and Yongjing saw Hexi slowly walking towards them.

The belly was so big that it seemed as if the feet were invisible. It walked over cautiously, making Yongqi and Yongjing very nervous.

The two men stepped forward to support He Xi, and Linlang also stepped back at the right time.

She couldn't just stand there while the brother and sister were reminiscing about the past.

"Sister, come and sit down." The Yongji brothers helped Hexi sit down on the chair.

To be honest, this belly looks really shocking. I don’t know how the skinny Hexi managed to survive.

Hexi was also very happy to see her two younger brothers. Compared with Lanxin and Qing'er, she met Yongqi and Yongjing much less often after she got married.

But this does not mean that she doesn't miss Yongqi and Yongjing.

"Sister, how are you doing lately?"

"I'm feeling better now. I'll be giving birth soon." He Xi patted her belly gently.

The two brothers were so frightened that they had no time to think about what unloading meant.

"Sister, watch your stomach."

Hexi saw Yongqi looking like he was facing a formidable enemy and smiled.

In fact, this belly looks scary, and it is really scary.

Especially as the pregnancy progresses, I can clearly feel that the burden on my body is gradually becoming heavier.

But after a long time, you get used to it.

"It's okay. How is Yongji doing recently?" He Xi asked with concern.

She knew that Qianlong intended to train Yongji, so Yongji was under extraordinary pressure. Although she felt sorry for her younger brother, she was also happy for him.

Sometimes, if you are born into a royal family, you have to fight for it even if you don’t want to.

Yongqi looked at Hexi with emotion. It turned out that his sister cared about him the most.

"I'm fine, sister should be careful too."

He Xi nodded, then turned to ask about Yongjing, insisting on treating everyone equally.

Yongjing was originally a little jealous, but now all that was gone.

Forget it, who made my brother work so hard? The kind-hearted Yongjing would not argue with his brother!

If Yongji was not very keen on studying and always wanted to be lazy when he was a child, but had good aptitude, then Yongjing simply did not have the talent for studying.

But Yongjing has a high talent in art, a free-spirited temperament, and a more emotional view of things.

Hexi thought it was a good idea. With Yongji around, Yongjing could just be a leisurely prince.

Yongjing took out the gift he had prepared for a long time and gave it to Hexi.

It is a portrait with three people in it. Hexi, as a young girl, is holding the hands of Yongqi and Yongjing.

I have to say that Yongjing's painting skills are remarkable, even the details of movements and expressions are portrayed vividly.

Hexi also gladly accepted it and praised Yongjing.

Yongjing's tail was almost up to the sky.

Although Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Yongqi and the Empress did not object to Yongjing's painting, they did not take it too seriously.

He thought it was just the naivety of a young boy, but he didn't know that Yongjing really liked painting, and only Hexi could understand that.

Hexi's recognition and praise undoubtedly gave Yongjing great confidence, which also laid a good foundation for him to become a famous painter in the future.

Yongji couldn't stand Yongjing's act of being a good boy. He usually acted like an elder brother, but in front of Hexi, he liked to compete with Yongjing for favor and would not give in.

He Xi smiled as she watched the two brothers bickering with each other, and she laughed out loud. The baby in her belly was also very excited, throwing left hooks and right kicks.

"Ah——" He Xi was kicked and screamed, holding her stomach.

Yongji/Yongjing:!!!
