When Li Jinghuan arrived at Ruishou Palace, the imperial concubine had prepared tea and cakes and was waiting for him in the lobby.

He came in a hurry, full of travel and dust, and asked anxiously as soon as he came: "Imperial concubine, where is fourth brother?"

Hearing what he said, the noble concubine quickly took out her handkerchief, and while wiping his sweat, said gently: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, Yu'er is waiting for you in the room, drink some water and rest first."

"No need," Li Jinghuan waved his hand excitedly and said, "Go and see fourth brother first."

Seeing this, the imperial concubine covered her mouth and smiled, and ordered: "Little Suzi, quickly take His Royal Highness to see the Fourth Prince."

"Yes."

Under the guidance of the eunuch named Xiao Suzi, Li Jinghuan followed him to a small bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a child carved in pink and jade, sitting on the bed, playing with a Lu Bansuo must be the Fourth Prince.

Li Jinghuan coughed twice deliberately, trying to attract the child's attention.

Hearing the movement, the child raised his head and glanced at the door. Seeing that Li Jinghuan was coming, he immediately jumped up from the bed and walked in front of him. The ruler is average, and at a young age, he has the inherent nobleness of the royal family, "See Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Jinghuan originally thought that the other party is also a child, so he should be pretty easy to coax, but seeing the child's well-behaved appearance, he didn't know how to deal with it, "Fourth brother, excuse me."

The fourth prince straightened up and looked at him steadfastly. The two of them stared at each other, speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere in the small room suddenly became a little awkward.

Li Jinghuan looked at the little child in front of him, the fleshy little face looked immature and cute, a pair of dark eyes were like shining gems, bright and clear, with a trace of calmness that didn't fit his age.

When Li Jingyu saw the prince staring at him blankly, he didn't know what was going on, but he could roughly guess the purpose of the prince's visit this time, probably to see him.

He was suddenly in a daze. The prince in his memory was the most majestic person he had ever seen. In the end, when he ascended the throne himself, every time he thought about it, he still felt ashamed.It's a pity that the heavens are jealous of talents, and such a character dies so aggrieved in the end.

It's just that he never imagined that there would be a day when he would be reborn and see the prince again.

The current crown prince is not the cold and ruthless politician in the battle for the heir apparent, but the young man in his prime and full of vigor.

Thinking of this, Li Jingyu suddenly wanted to say something to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Second brother, do you want to play together?" Li Jingyu didn't talk much, and he didn't know how to start the topic at this time. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only think of such a sentence that seemed to be more suitable for his identity as a child.

"Okay." Li Jingyu spoke first, which made Li Jinghuan heave a sigh of relief.

Soon, however, he found himself relaxing too soon.

Is something like a Luban lock a toy that children should play with?ah? !

Li Jinghuan held a pile of wooden structures in his hand, and looked at the children beside him as their fingers quickly shuttled through the pile of mortise and tenon structures, cleverly meshing the concave and convex parts of the structures together, and in a short while it became a tightly stitched cross cube , Want to cry but have no tears.

He is not as good as a child!

Perhaps it was a bit embarrassing to see Li Jinghuan, Li Jingyu approached cautiously, and asked tentatively: "If the second brother doesn't like to play with Lubansuo, why don't we go to read a book? My brother has the one brought by my concubine from outside the palace the day before yesterday." Some travel notes are quite interesting."

Thinking of those densely packed classical Chinese that didn't even have punctuation marks, Li Jinghuan quickly shook his head, forget it, it's better to play with Lubansuo.

Don't want to read a book?

Li Jingyu was a little distressed. He really didn't know what to play with this ten-year-old second brother. Regarding his childhood, after all, it was too long ago. It was so long ago that he had forgotten what he was playing with when he was young.

Li Jinghuan was also very distressed at this time, why is this child different from other children?

He remembered that when he was a child, he didn't have any hobbies of playing Lubansuo or reading travel notes. Are the royal children really so precocious?

"How about second brother take you to climb a tree?" Li Jinghuan asked cautiously.He also thought hard to come up with such a trick that he used to play when he was a child.

"This..." Li Jingyu was silent.

He really couldn't imagine what it would be like for an imposing prince to bring his seven or eight-year-old younger brother to climb a tree in the imperial garden. As princes, shouldn't they be intriguing, forming cliques, fighting each other to the death?What kind of strange operation is climbing a tree together?

Besides, why doesn't he remember that the second brother was so out of tune when he was a child?

"Can't you?" Li Jinghuan asked suspiciously.

"This... I'm afraid it's against the rules." Li Jingyu replied hesitantly.

Alas, as expected, he was a child who grew up in the palace. He opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut, so he behaved well. He didn't have a childhood at all!

Li Jinghuan waved his hand and said solemnly: "Brother, you are still young, don't keep a straight face all the time, just like a little adult, a little friend must have a little friend's sub, go, second brother will take you to experience it." Let's see what a real childhood is!"

As he said that, he pulled Li Jingyu to go out.

"Second brother..." Li Jingyu was caught off guard and pulled out the door.

……

Li Jingyu looked up at the second brother hanging on the tree, feeling unreal in his heart, is he really reborn?Are you sure you haven't come to some strange world?

The second elder brother in his memory was named the prince since he was a child, so he has always acted rigorously, and his every move has a royal demeanor, and he is proud, so it is impossible for him to take his younger brother to climb a tree!

Now this second brother, he must be possessed by a ghost!

While he was thinking, Li Jinghuan had already come down from the tree, clapped his hands neatly, and poked his arm, "Why don't you go up and try?"

Li Jinghuan himself is not very interested in climbing trees. He just wants to find something to cultivate a relationship with the future emperor. Who knows that climbing up is really interesting, and it always reminds him of his childhood. happy life.

Li Jingyu looked at him silently, as if protesting silently.

Li Jinghuan only took him as acquiescing, so he happily pushed him under the tree, and actively supported him, "Fourth brother, try it, it's very simple, as long as you use your hands hard and your feet steady, you can go up easily." gone."

"No...no need." Li Jingyu looked at his second brother's bright eyes, and couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Don't the fourth brother like it? Then what does the fourth brother like to play?" The light in Li Jinghuan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he scratched his head in confusion, children are so difficult to coax!

"Actually..." Seeing the other party's disappointed expression, Li Jingyu felt a little sorry, "It's not that I don't like it."

"Really?" Li Jinghuan became happy again.

"Really." Li Jingyu replied with difficulty.

It's a pity that Li Jingyu has lived for two lifetimes. From the prince, to the prince, and finally to the emperor, he has never had such a wonderful experience of climbing a tree, so he hangs half of his body on the tree with such difficulty, and half of his body is supported by Li Jinghuan , half stuck there.

Li Jinghuan is also having a hard time, the little prince is just a child, pampered, how can he support a child who is about his own age, within a few minutes, he is already panting and sweating profusely.

"Fourth brother, are you alright?" Li Jinghuan raised his head and asked in difficulty.

"Worse, almost, and a little higher." Li Jingyu also shouted at the top of his voice.

Li Jinghuan exerted some force in his hands, "What about now?"

"Again, a little higher."

"Ok?"

"almost……"

"Then I let go!"

"Wait, wait a minute!" As soon as Li Jinghuan let go, Li Jingyu couldn't support himself on the tree, and his body fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.

"Fourth brother, be careful!" Before Li Jinghuan had time to react, his body had already consciously rushed under the opponent's body, and he was firmly used as a meat pad.

"Ahem!" Li Jinghuan lay under the other party, was smashed to pieces, but still hugged the child tightly in his arms, patted his small body with one hand, and coaxed him comfortingly, "Yu Don't be afraid, my brother is here, and my brother will protect you."

Li Jingyu, who was still struggling in his arms, froze when he heard this, raised his head, and stared at the other party's expression. The other party's immature face was calm beyond his age, and his clear eyes were full of fear, but more More is firm.Seeing himself looking at him, the man pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, and said warmly: "Yu'er is not afraid, there is brother here, brother will protect you."

In fact, as an adult who has lived two lifetimes and has been an emperor, such a trivial matter will not make Li Jingyu feel emotional at all, but looking at the clumsy second brother in front of him, comforting himself so carefully, his My heart is still touched.

The smile on the prince's face was not as innocent and cheerful as in the past. It was a bit forced and mixed with a little fear. It seemed that he was afraid of hurting his younger brother, but in Li Jingyu's eyes, it was more touching than ever.

Li Jingyu really didn't expect that at such a time, the prince would still think of protecting and comforting himself.

After all, this person is the prince, the heir apparent of a country!

Li Jingyu, who has been through a lifetime, knows each other too well, and he can act like a brother and friend in ordinary small fights, but when it comes to critical moments, he will never be soft-hearted when he should give up.Just like the battle for the crown prince back then, no matter how close the relationship was when they were young, once his own existence threatened his crown prince, he would still alienate himself without hesitation.

Li Jingyu's thoughts are surging. Although he is usually reticent and cold-hearted, he never minds giving. If...
