It’s spring.

The envoys were feasted in the imperial garden with graceful dancing and music.

The court officials and envoys toasted each other and talked and laughed cheerfully, as if they were old friends reuniting after many years. The atmosphere was very good.

As for the ridiculous performance of Princess Yuehui in the downtown area, no one mentioned it on such occasions.

Bai Xiang was lying on the top of the rockery outside the banquet hall, eating with hibiscus cake in one hand and peach blossom crisp in the other, enjoying the food with gusto. "Brother Changqing is so handsome. He looks the best among so many people standing together!"

Jin Duobao was worried and tried to persuade him earnestly, "Bai Xiang, when you look at people, you can't just look at their appearance. You have to look beyond their appearance to see their moral character, understand? If you do this, you will be easily deceived in the future."

"Brother Changqing also has the best moral character."

That's true. Jin Duobao couldn't say against his conscience that Yan Changqing had bad morals, otherwise no one would believe what he said in the future.

Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai really became good friends with the four little princes. The six of them sat on the observation deck at the top of the rockery. "You are also princes. Why can't you attend the banquet like Brother Changqing?"

Yan Xian stared at the young man with envy, "Only the eldest brother of the emperor can attend such an important occasion. Although we are princes, we are still young and have not yet held a position in the court. Naturally, we cannot attend the banquet casually."

"After we move out of the palace and build our own residence, and are granted titles as kings, we can then slowly participate in state affairs... My royal brother is really amazing. Many people toast him, and no one dares to treat him as a child." Yan Yu also stared at that side.

Jin Duobao heard his words and leaned over, "Strange, you like your brother so much, why are you as timid as quails when you see him, and don't even dare to talk to him?"

"..." Yanyu pursed her lips, that's not the case.

The emperor's eldest brother had been frail and sickly since childhood, often lying on his sickbed in a coma, but whenever he was awake and handed in his homework, it would always be highly praised by the teacher.

The Master said that his elder brother’s talent was a gift from Heaven, something that ordinary people could not achieve.

The eldest brother's broad-mindedness is also an example for these princes to learn from.

Therefore, since childhood, even though they could never see their imperial brother, the image of his emperor was as high as the bright moon in the sky in the hearts of these people, unattainable and unreachable.

Especially the emperor's favor towards his eldest brother made these princes extremely envious.

They wanted to get close to the emperor, but they couldn't go to Fengyi Palace.

The mother often warned them behind their backs not to disturb Fengyi Palace or the emperor's brother.

My mother said that the royal family had little affection.

Here, there is no brotherhood and friendship that they long for.

There is only imperial power and only struggle.

Their mother told them not to think too much about anything else and just to be obedient and grow up safely.

Over time, they naturally developed a sense of awe in front of their royal brother.

In fact, Yanyu didn’t understand many of his mother’s words before. Why didn’t he think more about it?

They are the emperor's sons just like their elder brother. How could they not expect their father to love them as much as he loves their elder brother? How could they not hope that their father would pay more attention to them?

They admire and love their royal brother, so how could they not look forward to playing with him and hoping for harmony among brothers?

But later, the second prince disappeared.

Yan Yu began to understand that his mother's warning was to save his life.

The second prince disappeared because his mother fought for him.

His nose suddenly felt sore, Yanyu withdrew his gaze from that direction, and lowered his head to calm the grievances in his heart.

Perhaps as the mother said, it would be impossible for these princes and their eldest brother to get along as easily and comfortably as Duobao and Baixiang did in their entire lives.

The emperor should think so too, so he never gets close to them.

"Oh! Brother Duobao, I saw the princess with the tongue that can't be straightened!" Bai Xiang saw a familiar figure in a flash, and immediately complained to Jin Duobao, "Look, she is also attending the banquet over there! She looks so fierce!"

Jin Duobao quickly turned his body back, leaned forward, squinted his eyes and tried to look in the direction Bai Xiang was pointing.

At such a long distance, it was hard to see the other person's expression clearly, but Jin Duobao could see a black aura coming from that damn princess.

"Hahaha! Did you see what she looks like? Her brother Black Bear died, and she's in mourning! She looks so depressed!"

Kids, "..."

"Are you going to leave the palace and tour the city later? We can go with you, right? I'll be the one to blame you then! If I don't piss her off to death, I'm not called Jin Duobao!" The little fat boy seemed to have found his life goal, and his whole body was glowing with excitement.

Yan Xian's face twitched, "Duobao, why do you hate her so much?"

Jin Duobao couldn't believe it, "Shouldn't I hate her? You weren't in the West Market the other day and didn't see her. Do you know how arrogant she is? She ordered her bear brothers to commit crimes in the streets. Many people in the imperial city were frightened, and a little kid was almost trampled to death by a big black bear! How dare a little princess from a broken tribe cause trouble in Da Rui and hurt the people of Da Rui? How can I be polite to her? This is my good brother's Da Rui, and the people outside are my good brother's people!"

Jin Duobao helps his relatives but not others.

Besides, that princess ignored me.

In short, Jin Duobao will protect those good brothers and friends he has identified, no matter if they are Bai Xiang, Yan Changqing, Xiaosong, Xiaobai, or everyone in Yuxi Village.

No one can bully you.

If he can't win, well, he'll go find Yan Changqing!

snort!

Bai Xiang looked at the changing expressions on his face and laughed out loud with great amusement.

She is the same as brother Duobao.

I also want to help Brother Changqing protect Dayui and the people of Dayui.

Her grandparents, parents, mother-in-law, aunts, uncles and great-grandchildren in Yuxi Village...are all part of Da Rui. To protect Da Rui is to protect all the people she cares about.

Uncle Emperor loves the people like his own children, and Brother Changqing must also love the people like his own children.

Then she loves Brother Changqing.

No one knows what the little girl is thinking.

The dazzling young man in brocade clothes in the center of the crowd in the distance seemed to sense something and turned his head to look.

From a distance, anyone he was looking at could feel the tenderness in his gaze.

Bai Xiang grinned and smiled sweetly over there.

"Qing'er, why are you grinning like an idiot?" The queen turned her head and caught a glimpse of her son's curved mouth.

Unlike the smile she gave to entertaining guests, this smile seemed to be mixed with a bit of honey.

The queen asked an extra question, but in fact, she knew without asking that the only people who could make her son laugh like that were his friends.

The only one who could add some sweetness to his smile was Bai Xiang.

Yan Changqing blocked his mother's teasing gaze by drinking tea from his cup, and restrained his outward emotions. "Mother, the envoys will tour the city later, and I have invited Bai Xiang and Duo Bao to join us."

"You have invited everyone here, why are you asking me? How can my mother not agree?" The queen glanced at the rockery in the distance and then looked away, "Have fun, they will go back in a few days."

There were more than three or four little heads gathered on the observation deck on the rockery.

All the little princes in the palace were there.

When Qing'er takes her friends out to play, those little followers will inevitably take the opportunity to follow.

...that’s all.

Qing'er is only twelve years old, so it's normal for her to be a little playful.

It wouldn't spoil his fun.
