The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"You haven't been to Yuxi Village. It's so beautiful. There are mountains that the imperial palace can't see, rivers that the imperial palace doesn't have, and workshops that the imperial palace doesn't have!"

"Even the oxen we use to plow the fields are stronger than those in other villages! The vegetables in our vegetable gardens are also tastier than those in other villages!"

“Pick flowers in spring, catch cicadas in summer, pick fruits in autumn, dig sweet potato pits in winter, go to the river to bathe and fish when it’s hot, and go up the mountain to hunt birds and take out eggs when the wild geese return…Have you ever tried this? Hahaha!”

"Don't be fooled by your brother's appearance. He has dust all over his hands and mouth, just like when he eats roasted sweet potatoes. How shameful!"

"By the way, you have definitely never seen Grandpa Xu scolding people. He is simply an invincible general! Don't believe me? Let me teach you how to do it! Dogs will avoid him when they see him!"

The small stone table next to the rockery was surrounded by children. There was warm tea and dried fruits on the table. Jin Duobao, as the best talker, gave a detailed description to the little princes who had never seen the world, with saliva flying.

The four little princes were frightened and their minds flashed with images of paradise, farming and weaving, and people's lives in the market.

"In the future, I will open Anxinyuan all over Dari! No matter how much money I earn, it cannot be brought with you when you are born and cannot be taken with you when you die. If I can help more elderly and children who have no one to rely on to have food to eat and houses to live in, it can be regarded as my contribution to the people. Hehehe, anyway, I don't have any big ambitions. I just like the satisfaction of doing something with good partners!"

Yan Changqing will be the king of Dayui in the future. If he helps the people of Dayui, he is helping Yan Changqing, his good brother.

We must do it, and do it well!

Young Master Jin put his hands on his waist, hesitating with great ambitions, and at the same time secretly cleared a way for himself, "You are princes now, and you will be princes when you grow up. You will have a lot of power. Don't trip me up when the time comes! Although I am the one who spends money on Anxinyuan, your brother also has a share, don't you know? Destroying my Anxinyuan is a slap on your brother's face, don't you know?"

The four little princes, "..."

Yan Changqing held his forehead, "..."

Bai Xiang and his two brothers almost laughed themselves to death.

The haze in the sky gradually cleared, and the last bit of warm light shone on the children's faces, dyeing their eyes warm colors.

When Emperor Hong Jing, the Empress, and General Xiao came, what they saw was a picture of childishness, so warm and harmonious that people could not bear to disturb them.

But after the banquet, I had to go home and it was impossible to stay in the palace.

The four little princes felt extremely disappointed. It was the first time in their lives that they had been able to spend so much time with their eldest brother, and they could talk and laugh together.

Yan Xian bit his lip and said quickly before his father and the queen came over, "When will you return to Yuxi Village? There will be a foreign envoy group coming to the court in a few days. My father will host a banquet in the palace. It will be lively and fun. Do you want to join us?"

"Foreigners are coming to pay homage? That must be a very important occasion. Even children can come and play?" Bai Xiang was curious. She had never seen what foreigners looked like in her life. How lively and fun would it be to pay homage to them?

Yan Xian secretly glanced at his eldest brother, "...As long as my eldest brother allows, you can enter the palace to play. We can skip the banquet and just watch the fun from the sidelines to gain some experience!"

The children's eyes were shining, and Yan Changqing had no heart to refuse.

A few days later, a foreign country did come to pay tribute. It was the Yuehui tribe outside the western border of Darui. They came to Darui once every three years to pay tribute to the tribe's sheepskins, horses and specialties, and received rewards from Darui in order to maintain good diplomatic relations between the two countries.

After Bai Xiang and Jin Duobao left, Emperor Hong Jing returned to the imperial study to deal with the unfinished government affairs of the day.

The Imperial Garden suddenly became quiet, and the harmonious atmosphere in the air was gone.

The queen glanced at the little princes with drooping eyebrows and eyes, and asked her son, "What a coincidence that we met in the Imperial Garden? Did they come to disturb you?"

The little princes were so nervous that they dared not raise their heads.

Later, he heard his brother's clear voice, "Mother, it was I who invited the brothers to play together. They are about the same age as Bai Xiang and Duo Bao, so it will be more lively if they play together."

The queen knew her son was trying to excuse the children. She lowered her eyes and warned him calmly, "Forget it this time, but don't come to play with your brother next time. He has just recovered and needs to rest and take care of his schoolwork. He doesn't have that much time to play around with you. If you offend your brother, don't blame me for punishing you."

The youngest, Yanle, cried out of grievance, tears streaming down her cheeks but she dared not cry out loud, yet she could not help but complain indignantly, “But if my royal brother plays with Sister Baixiang and the others, the queen won’t be angry. You don’t allow us to play with my royal brother, which clearly shows that you don’t like us. Why don’t you like us, wuwuwu…”

The Queen raised her eyes and glanced at them, "Why should I like you? You are not my children. Could it be that your mother likes my son?"

The cry was choked.

Yanle was speechless and dumbfounded.

The other three buried their heads even lower.

The queen snorted, and her mood became cheerful, "Madame Du, let's go back to Fengyi Palace."

He has no awareness of bullying children at all.

Fighting with others is endless fun.

The corners of Yan Changqing's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say a word on behalf of his younger brothers.

The more he talked, the more the Queen Mother would target them.

This is also the reason why he was not close to his younger brothers in the palace.

Unlike his playmates such as Baixiang and Duobao, the emperor's younger brother's surname is Yan and he is a prince, which the queen mother cannot stand.

Although the Queen Mother disdains the disputes in the harem, it doesn't mean that she doesn't mind at all.

My father also knew this, so he never let his younger brothers appear in front of my mother easily, as he felt guilty.

Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to find an excuse to return to the imperial study? He was not in a hurry to deal with government affairs, but in a hurry to retreat.

"It's getting late, let's all go back." Taking out a handkerchief to wipe Yan Le's tears, Yan Changqing rubbed his head and left the Imperial Garden first.

There is a faint crescent moon in the sky, hanging in the gray sky where dusk has not yet faded, and it is not obvious at first glance.

Several little princes were standing in front of the rockery, and the old man did not move.

"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, the eldest brother just wiped my tears and touched my head! He also spoke well of us!" Yan Le's eyelashes still had tears on them, but his expression had changed drastically.

There was no trace of grievance at all, and the corners of his mouth were stretched to his ears.

"Brother, you actually like me, right?" Yan Le didn't give up and asked again.

Yan Xian wrinkled his nose and snorted heavily, "What do you like? Anyway, we are not as good as Lin Baixiang, Jin Duobao, Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai!"

"Why should we compare? The emperor just likes us! If he doesn't like you, he must like me too!"

"..."

Yan Le successfully made three enemies with this sentence.

There have been a lot of exciting things happening one after another in the imperial city recently.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to the capital.

General Xiao has a successor.

Soon, foreign nations came to pay tribute again.

The South City Post Station started to get busy early, waiting to welcome the arrival of the envoys.

The hot topic in major teahouses and taverns began to revolve around this year's tribute.
