When we entered the courtyard where the Qing prince lived, we saw him sitting by the bamboo bush, resting his chin on his hand, looking at the gurgling water in the canal in a daze.
Hearing the movement behind him, he turned around and shouted muffledly: "Sister Huang!"
"It feels better after catching the wind and cold. Why don't you rest in the house and sit by the stream to enjoy the wind?"
Li Sixu reached out and rubbed his little head, then sat down with him: "Do you know what happened at the door of the prince's residence?"
"Um!"
Prince Qing nodded sadly and looked at Li Sixu with tears in his eyes: "Sister Huang, does the mother-in-law dislike Qing'er?"
"Motherly love is a woman's nature. No one doesn't love their children!"
Faced with a mother like Wu Chongyuan, Li Sixu felt that this little guy was a little pitiful.
Instead of continuing to deceive him, it is better to let him recognize the reality. Sometimes if you don't care about someone so much, you won't feel sad.
"Empress Chongyuan actually still loves the emperor's brother, but her heart is lost!"
Li Sixu took out the sachet she made, placed it in the palm of his hand and held his hand: "Emperor brother, in addition to being the son of your mother and concubine, you are also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the son of your father and the emperor's sister. 's younger brother."
"Third brother also likes you, doesn't he?"
Since he fell ill, his third brother Li Sisheng visited him every day, and the imperial sister often came to his residence to diagnose his illness.
Thinking that there were people who cared about him, Prince Qing became less sad and nodded with his sleeves wiping his tears.
He held the sachet and asked Li Sixu: "Is this what the imperial sister gave to Qing'er?"
"Yes, the sachet made by the emperor's sister. Wearing it can make you feel at ease."
The prince of the Qing Dynasty put it in his pocket as if he had found a treasure, and said that he would ask the palace maid to braid a tassel to wear it every day. Seeing that the two siblings loved each other, the fourth prince who followed him felt very uncomfortable.
"Hmph, how can fourth brother be inferior to him?"
The fourth prince muttered in a low voice: "I made a sachet for this brat, but it's not your fourth brother's share."
"Why are you arguing with a child? How old are you? Are you also sick and need a calming sachet to sleep peacefully?"
Faced with a series of questions from his imperial sister, the fourth prince said confidently: "Since my mother-in-law entered the cold palace, I have not been able to sleep well every night."
"childish!"
Li Sixu rolled her eyes at him: "Yan is three years old!"
"Smelly girl, do you know the inferiority of dignity? Are you so rude to your royal brother?"
"Hurry up and apologize to your royal brother..."
When the fourth prince and Li Sixu quarreled, Prince Qing grinned stupidly and held the sachet in his pocket tightly, fearing that his fourth brother would snatch it away in anger.
Li Sixu ignored Yan Sansui who was beside him and continued to take the Qing Prince's pulse.
"The emperor's brother has almost recovered. After taking two more medicines, he can go to Chongwen Hall to study with Wei'er and Yun'er."
The Qing prince originally thought that the ladies in the palace did not like his mother-in-law very much, and would be ostracized by the royal brothers when she went to the Chongwen Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, Wei'er and Yun'er, who were about the same age as him, did not dislike him at all. As soon as he went to Chongwen Hall, he became close to him. The Qing prince was very happy to learn that he was about to recover and could go back to school.
"Very good!"
He frowned and pulled Li Sixu's sleeve: "Sister Huang, the medicine is too bitter. Can you give Qing'er some sweet medicine?"
"No, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease."
Seeing that he was rejected and his brows were knitted with worry, Li Sixu took a handful of candied fruits from her pocket and stuffed them into his hand.
"After taking the medicine, you won't feel bitter anymore if you take this!"
His imperial sister's snacks were always particularly delicious.
Prince Qing smiled happily: "Thank you, Sister Huang."
The fourth prince felt his heart was hit hard again. Looking at the sweet prince Qing, his eyes were filled with fire. Why was the stinky girl so nice to him?
It’s a sachet and a candied fruit!
So angry!
We can't put any hope in this stinky girl.
The fourth prince turned around to leave, out of sight, but Li Sixu grabbed his trousers: "Yansan Sui, wait!"
After saying that, she took out a handful of fried peanuts from her pocket: "The longevity fruit that my mother and Sisi planted together has never been eaten by anyone else. You are the first to try it!"
The fourth prince felt relieved now, and the stone blocking his heart was removed.
He took the peanuts, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and carefully picked them up: "Smelly girl, you have a conscience."
"Hey, boy, please take your hands off your hands..."
The Qing prince smiled when he saw his sister and fourth brother quarreling. He looked at this and that curiously, and even quietly touched a piece of candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that the fourth prince was as happy as a fool for getting the fried peanuts, Wang Ziqing touched the bag of peanuts that Li Sixu stuffed for him and felt that the fourth prince was so easy to coax!
She played chess with the Qing prince for a while, and then watched the calligraphy practice that her third brother Li Sisheng urged Qing'er to practice. It was indeed a wise decision of her father to allow the Qing prince's younger brother to live in the prince's residence.
Without being with Wu Chongyuan, even when he was ill, his temperament was much more cheerful and he loved to laugh.
Not to mention that he would not be instigated to harm others like when he followed Ji An.
For such a young child, if the people around him are good, it will be easier for him to learn from the good ones. If he stays with people who are engaged in conspiracy and calculation all day long, he will not be like a prince of the Tang Dynasty no matter how he is raised.
Qing'er and the fourth prince wanted to keep her at the prince's place, so Yang Qing hurriedly came over from Leng Palace.
He reported: "The tools and iron pots that the princess asked Master Liang to help make. Master Liang has sent them to the cold palace. The master asked the servant to find them and asked the princess to go to the cold palace."
Have her fryer and wok arrived?
Li Sixu was so happy that she jumped up into the sky. Wang Ziqing was afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly helped her up.
"What could possibly make you so happy?"
The fourth prince was very curious: "What tool? What iron pot?"
"Tools for frying oil and iron pots for cooking."
Liang Dong was still waiting for her, and Li Sixu couldn't explain much: "Senior brother, if you are not busy, follow Sisi to the cold palace to see the good things sent by Mr. Liang from the Ministry of Industry."
"OK!"
Wang Ziqing happily agreed, picked up the medicine box and followed Li Sixu and Yang Qing.
Seeing them leaving, Prince Qing was very disappointed: "Fourth brother, Qing'er also wants to go to Leng Palace to see the frying machine and iron pot that the imperial sister mentioned."
"You think I don't want to, prince, but we can't just go to a place like the Cold Palace if we want to. There is only one Tenth Emperor Girl in this palace who can run around all over the palace."
The fourth prince rubbed his little head: "After dinner, go and warm up your books. After you study more, you can go anywhere. Your fifth brother is able to study in Luoyang just because he studies a lot. When you become more knowledgeable, let alone the cold palace. Now, you can travel around the world."
Prince Qing originally looked disappointed, but when he heard the fourth prince saying that he could go anywhere if he studied a lot, his eyes lit up and he rushed into the study with a heavy hum.
"Oh, you innocent little fool!"
I don’t hate the kid!
Li Yan shook his head and shrugged, followed quietly out of the prince's residence, and sneaked towards the cold palace.
