The fourth prince's eyes lit up, "Is it fun to be a crown prince?"

Following his question, the Third Prince also fell into deep thought, "I don't know about this, but I heard from the teacher that if I become the crown prince, I will have to memorize more books and read more texts, and I will have to think more."

"Then when Third Brother becomes the Crown Prince, can you go out of the palace with me and ride horses to the Old Summer Palace?"

The Fourth Prince asked again.

These words really hit the nail on the head for the Third Prince.

Not to mention becoming the crown prince, even if you didn't become the emperor, you might not be able to go.

It would be really boring to be like the Emperor, confined in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity every day, reviewing and reading memorials, and then finding some old and stubborn people to talk about state affairs.

The Third Prince is still at an age where he loves to play. When he thought of this, his face immediately drooped like a bitter gourd.

"I don't think so."

The Fourth Prince looked at his bitter face, sighed, and patted her shoulder again.

"It's okay, Third Brother, don't worry. From now on, when I leave the palace, I will definitely bring back some fun things for you to see, and I will also tell you about all the fun things outside the palace."

After hearing this, the Third Prince became even more envious.

"Fourth brother, you are so good. With Empress Hua here, no one dares to bully you. Empress Hua treats you so well."

The Fourth Prince pretended to be dumb and laughed, "That's right, my mother is very good. It would be great if Third Brother was also her child, so that we could be together."

"I...I actually want to..." The Third Prince immediately became like a deflated ball.

But he didn't dare.

After saying that, the Fourth Prince glanced outside and said, "It's almost time. I think the teacher will come to check soon. Third brother, I know you must not have done your homework. I have done two copies. Do you want them?"

"That's great, fourth brother. You are indeed my good brother." The third prince stepped forward and put his arm around his brother's shoulders, very excited.

"Mother had someone bring back a lot of good things from outside the palace. Third brother, do you want to go with me to take a look?"

As he spoke, the Fourth Prince extended another invitation.

The Third Prince naturally clapped his hands and cheered.

The Empress Dowager was under house arrest now, and although she was keeping an eye on him, he thought that since he would only go there once, he would not be discovered.

If all else fails, just say we're discussing homework together.

Thinking happily in her heart, she went to Yikun Palace with the Fourth Prince after class.

……

In the evening, Yikun Palace.

"What's that noise outside?"

Nian Shilan was writing a reply to her brother in the study when she suddenly heard a noisy noise coming from outside.

She looked up and asked.

Fu Dong was serving the pens and ink at the side. After thinking for a while, he said, "It sounds like the voice of the Fourth Prince. I heard from the nanny who serves the Fourth Prince that the Fourth Prince brought the Third Prince to the Yikun Palace to enjoy the things today. I guess they were in high spirits and disturbed the Empress. I will go and tell them to be quiet."

Nian Shilan raised her hand and said, "No need, let them play as they please. I have almost finished writing. Come with me and take a look."

"Yes." Fudong replied.

He sealed the letter and then helped Nian Shilan out to check.

When the two of them went out, they saw the sound of young men laughing freely coming from the side hall where the Fourth Prince lived.

Suddenly, Nian Shilan stopped and remembered something.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he raised his hand and said, "Forget it, seeing that they are having fun, I won't go in and disturb them."

"What does your Majesty mean?" Fu Dong asked.

Nian Shilan smiled and said, "The emperor hasn't been here for several days. Let's go and invite him to have dinner. I'm sure the emperor will like it with the Fourth and Third Princes accompanying him."

"Yes."

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

There have been continuous rains in the south of the Yangtze River recently, and floods have occurred in several places.

In addition to the affairs in the palace, the confinement of the Queen had already made many ministers dissatisfied. Although the matter of Guaerjia seemed to have been solved, Yinzhen actually wanted to investigate further.

However, many ministers wrote letters to the emperor, requesting him to lift the ban on the queen.

This made Yinzhen even more troubled.

So when Su Peisheng came in to deliver the message, he saw Yinzhen's expression and knew that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Ninghai from the Yikun Palace is here. Concubine Hua invites Your Majesty to have dinner with her."

Without even raising his head, Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "Wukong, get off!"

Su Peisheng did not dare to stay for a moment, "Yes, I will leave now."

Outside.

Su Peisheng also looked embarrassed, looking at Zhou Ninghai, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the emperor is in a bad mood, and we servants naturally have no way to do anything about it. I'm afraid the emperor will not go to Yikun Palace today."

Zhou Ninghai stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Su, please help me again. I didn't invite the emperor, so I can't report to him when I go back."

"I can't do anything. The emperor is very worried about the continuous floods in Jiangnan. In addition, the emperor has been in a bad mood these days. Your Majesty should not come here at this time to cause bad luck."

Zhou Ninghai had no choice but to return to Yikun Palace.

He told Nian Shilan everything Su Peisheng had said.

Finally, I would like to add, "Your Majesty, why don't you have your meal first? I think the Emperor will not come today."

Nian Shilan was not in a hurry, "No need, let the small kitchen prepare it. The emperor will definitely come today."

"But, Madam, what Su Peisheng said is true. At this moment, it is really not good for Madam to offend others. I am afraid that other concubines will avoid you."

Nian Shilan chuckled, her face full of pride, and murmured, "Really? Then I just don't believe it."

Songzhi stepped forward and said, "Then Madam, do we really have to wait? We don't know how long we have to wait."

"No hurry, just prepare it."

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Yinzhen had been reading memorials at his desk for half an hour, but he had not yet had his dinner and had not even had his tea. Su Peisheng did not dare to go in and disturb him.

Because I was kicked out just after I went in to deliver snacks.

Fang Ruo came forward with some snacks and greeted Su Peisheng, "Eunuch Su."

"Fang Ruo, why are you here?" Su Peisheng saw her carrying a lunch box, probably understood something, and kindly reminded her.

"Oh, I just went in to deliver some snacks, but the emperor chased me out. At this critical moment, you should go back, so as not to displease the emperor."

Fang Ruo just smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't want to eat or drink tea. I'm afraid his body can't bear it. I'd better go in and ask."

Seeing Fang Ruo insisted, Su Peisheng didn't know what to say and sighed.

I silently lit a candle for Fangruo in my heart.
