Xu Yixing was asked, yes, who made the rule?

"Let's not talk about that. What were you talking about with them just now? You were so excited. It seems that the rumors that you are not interested in women are not true."

"Who said I'm not interested in women? Am I not very close to you now?" Lu Anyuan smiled and did not answer Xu Yixing's question.

"Rascal." Xu Yixing threw away her shawl and stood a little further away. Who would have thought that every time she took a step further away, Lu Anyuan would take a step closer. After another step further away, he would take another step closer. He was really more like a shadow than a shadow guard.

"Don't go any further. You'll end up in the river." Lu Anyuan finally stopped, looked at Xu Yixing with a smile, and didn't move any closer.

"Well, it's good to be near the river. No one can overhear us talking. You have heard about our family's affairs, right?"

"I heard about it. Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"The Second Prince would love for you to have the token in your hand so that he can catch you committing a serious crime later. How could I possibly tell you?"

Lu Anyuan felt warm in his heart: "So you are caring about me?"

Xu Yixing felt infuriated when he saw his shameless smile. What should he do? If he really married him, he would be angry every day and would probably age quickly.

"Anyway, this matter has been resolved. Although it cost a small price, it is still a success. There shouldn't be any more surprises before our wedding."

"My second brother is not that easy to deal with. Since he has already started the war, there is no reason for him to stop."

This is what Xu Yixing was afraid of. The hatred on her side had just begun to come to an end, and after marrying Lu Anyuan, there would be endless troubles and sorrows. What should she do?

"But don't worry. After all, he's not targeting you. He's targeting me. Since we're brothers, we should reciprocate. I'll vent your anger for you."

Hey! It's obviously you who caused me trouble, and you still have the nerve to say that you are helping me vent my anger. How annoying!

"Then I thank you."

After Xu Yixing finished speaking, he stared at the river in silence. Even though he had many questions in his mind, he felt that the interruption just now made it impossible for him to ask them.

"Actually, my eldest brother doesn't like my second brother either." Lu Anyuan didn't know what to say. He chose this opening inexplicably and regretted it after he finished speaking.

"I understand. Probably no one in your family would like each other. But I'm still very curious. Your mother passed away early. Why didn't the emperor find you another mother? Look at the fourth prince. Isn't that an example?"

Lu Anyuan didn't expect Xu Yixing to ask this. The matter of looking for his mother had long been over in his memory.

"My father wanted to give me to Concubine Ying to raise, but I refused, so I gave this opportunity to my fourth brother."

"Huh?" Xu Yixing turned around, his eyes filled with confusion and interest. "You've been thinking about fighting for the throne so early?"

In Xu Yixing's understanding, the only reason why Lu Anyuan did not accept Concubine Ying was that she had a biological prince, so once he became her adopted son, it would basically mean that he would have no chance of becoming emperor.

"You are so utilitarian. I was only a child at that time, and no one knew whether my father and the queen would have a son. The concubines were fighting for favor, so who could predict the future?"

"Oh...that's right, why?"

Lu Anyuan picked up a small stone and floated it across the river, but perhaps because the stone was not flat enough, it struggled for a while and sank to the bottom with a splash.

How should he tell Xu Yixing that he had actually looked for his mother? It was a pity that the ladies in the cold palace had already chilled his heart, making him afraid of women, afraid of all those who originally exuded maternal love.

"My fourth brother is more pitiful than me. After all, I still have my aunt, so my life won't be too bad." Lu Anyuan never feels nervous when telling lies. He has long been accustomed to mixing truth and lies, and sometimes he can't even tell the difference.

"Wow!" Xu Yixing had never expected this answer. It seems that Lu Anyuan was still very cute when he was a child. It is true that brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other.

"Wow, you're moved by our brotherhood, right? Hahahaha!"

"Do you regret it?"

"There's nothing to regret. If you look at Fourth Brother's current situation, you'll know that my choice was the right one."

Xu Yixing was silent. After the Fourth Prince set up his own residence and moved out, he indeed lived a pretty good life.

However, he did not make much achievement in the court. Most of the ministers regarded him as the spokesperson of the Second Prince, and asked him to do things or say things that the Second Prince was not convenient to do or say.

Such a good prince ended up being a mouthpiece for others.

"But at least he can become a rich and noble prince in the future. I think no matter who of you brothers ascends the throne, you won't make things difficult for him, right?"

Lu Anyuan nodded. It was true. Fourth brother would probably firmly sit on the throne of the prince in the future. As for the rest of them, fighting each other to death might not necessarily lead to a good ending.

"The last time you were in my room, Xu Yiwen interrupted me when I asked a question. I want to hear your answer."

"What's the problem?" The topic changed so quickly that Lu Anyuan didn't react for a moment. "Oh! Are you asking me if I married you because I like you or Yi Yan? Oh!"

What is coming will come. It seems that not every opportunity to be interrupted exists.

"Yixing, let's put it this way. If Nanny Bai hadn't died, but had suddenly become another person. For example, she had become the girl named Siwen beside you, and then she came back to help and protect you, would you doubt her loyalty just because she had changed her identity?"

This... Lu Anyuan's metaphor was so vivid that Xu Yixing didn't even have to think about it. He was so excited that he immediately rushed over to hug Si Wen, or Aunt Bai. Why doubt?

So Lu Anyuan has always liked me, even if I changed my identity, he would still like me.

Xu Yixing didn't know if a lover's heart could be so affectionate, but he had to admit that Lu Anyuan treated her very well. At least until now, he had always acted for himself.

"So Yixing, you don't have to doubt my intentions. To tell you the truth, your sister did want me to marry her, but I refused because there is only one person I like in my heart. Yixing, you are you, and no one can replace you."

Xu Yixing knew this memory, so when he looked at Lu Anyuan's determined gaze again, he was not only moved but also felt a little more trust in his heart.

"But, maybe I'm not as good as you think. You know, my grandson is worried about me..."

"That's because he's blind." Lu Anyuan seemed to hate this name, and when Xu Yixing mentioned it casually, he interrupted him. "I know whether you are good or not, and there's no need to compare you with others."
