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

The envoys were about to return, and the excitement in the palace was coming to an end.

Over there, a farewell party was going on in the front hall, and over here in the imperial garden, a group of children gathered together and were also saying goodbye in advance.

Jin Duobao looked around and boasted, "When I get back, I'll tell my dad that I went into the imperial palace three times during this trip to Changjing. Hahaha, he'll be so envious!"

Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai are already planning how to show off to their friends when they return.

"Quick, collect this small stone, go back and give it to Xiao Niu, and tell him that this is a stone from the palace!

Well... bring Jiawang a bag of mud from the palace!

And Zhao Baoliang! What should I bring him? Here, pick two leaves!

Last time I saw some beautiful rain flower stones over at Lianhu Lake, I picked up two and gave them to Xiao Yuan!"

He scratched his face, feeling uncertain.

She brought gifts for her grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt and uncle, all of which were bought from shops on the street.

...Do you want to bring some mud and stones from the palace home?

Compared to the enthusiasm of the other children, the little princes looked listless and reluctant.

Yan Le pouted, tears already hung on her eyelashes before they really said goodbye.

"You're leaving so soon? Can't you stay a few more days? Changjing is so much fun. There are many places you haven't been to yet. There are also many fun places in the palace. If you can stay a few more days, I will take you around the entire palace and give you many fun things. Is that okay?"

Yan Xian pursed his lips, looking as serious as a little adult, and he was also reluctant in his heart.

Although they are princes, they have very few playmates.

Because they are not valued by their father, few people are willing to play with them.

After Bai Xiang and the others leave, their relationship with their royal brother will definitely return to what it was before, neither close nor distant.

The palace will become deserted again.

"Alas, all good things must come to an end. There is no gathering until there is separation."

Jin Duobao now speaks these polite words with more ease and facility.

The two brothers patted one shoulder and that shoulder like good brothers.

"When we meet next time, you may already be a prince with a title, and of course I will be the head of the Jin family by then. By then, you must not forget our friendship today and must take good care of me!"

The three Lin siblings really admire Young Master Jin's character of being able to treat everyone as a brother.

When Duobao grows up a little bit, and visits more states, won’t he have brothers all over the world?

Palace maids and eunuchs were busy coming and going all around.

Bai Xiang was thinking about saying goodbye to Brother Chang Qing, and looked around boredly, "Brother Chang Qing seems to be always busy. The envoys are leaving soon, why is he even busier than the past few days?"

"When foreign envoys come to the court, the busiest time is when they are sent off. Our Da Rui is a country of etiquette, and when they are sent off, all the officials in the court gather together, and old ministers who have retired will also attend to show the style of our Da Rui. My royal brother is the Crown Prince of Da Rui, so he is naturally busier today than when he was receiving the envoys." Yan Xian spoke of these things in a very knowledgeable manner.

"No wonder my grandpa also came to the palace today..." Bai Xiang's shoulders drooped slightly.

When I came to Changjing, I thought I could see my brother Changqing every time.

But after arriving here, I found that Changjing is different from Yuxi Village.

If you want to see someone here, you have to go through a lot of procedures and there are many rules.

She doesn't like it.

It would be great if Brother Changqing could go back to Yuxi Village with her.

Bai Xiang was in low spirits, vaguely realizing that some things could never go back to the way they were before.

"Quick, go get the imperial physician! Find Doctor Yu!"

A scream startled the child.

A eunuch was running breathlessly down the path ahead, and he said urgently to the eunuch in front of him, "The old Duke suddenly fainted at the farewell banquet! The Emperor has ordered the imperial physician to come quickly!"

Upon hearing this, several little princes stood up nervously.

"Old Duke?" Jin Duobao and Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai looked at each other. Wow, just hearing this title is incredible.

Yan He said worriedly, "The old Duke is my brother's grandfather, he is already over seventy years old, he suddenly fainted this time, I'm afraid it's -"

He didn't dare to say the last few words.

He was an old minister in his seventies, the only one in the court of Da Rui.

In the past six months, there have been rumors circulating that the old Duke is becoming increasingly weak and his time is up.

I may never wake up after fainting this time.

A small black shadow scurried out from the side.

The person who was left behind was stunned and unable to react.

Jin Duobao was the first to come back to his senses, wailing and following, "Bai Xiang, wait for me!"

He had seen something new today: Baixiang ran faster than a rabbit!

The two younger brothers of the Lin family naturally followed closely behind.

When the princes realized what was happening, they hurriedly chased after him.

"Bai Xiang, Duo Bao! Xiao Song! Xiao Bai! Come back, come back quickly! We can't go to the event today, or we will be punished!"

"Come back... Sister Baixiang went to the wrong place! Not there, the farewell banquet is in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

"Yan Changshan, you are a fool! Why are you still giving directions to Bai Xiang?"

"Oh my my my!"

"What do you mean by 'I'? Hurry up and chase him!"

Not long after the children ran away, Cui Qi rushed to the small stone table where they were.

Not finding the girl that His Highness had asked him to look for, and thinking about the situation in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Cui Qi's eyes darkened and he wanted to pout.

This job wasn't done well, so he might as well just clean his neck.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was chaos and disorder.

The envoys were left aside, and all the officials of Da Rui focused their attention on the long couch in the back hall.

The old Duke of Lan was lying on the couch. He had woken up but was unable to get up. He tried to force a smile to comfort his worried daughter and grandson, but even that faint smile seemed weak.

The old man is already very weak.

"Your Majesty, I have made a fool of myself today. It is neither too early nor too late, but at this time——"

"Duke, are you trying to embarrass me by saying this?" Emperor Hong Jing leaned over and held the old man's hand, and anxiously shouted, "Where is Yu Heng? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Yu Heng rushed into the back hall holding a medicine box, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am late!"

"Stop talking nonsense and treat the old Duke!"

Looking at the imperial physician taking his pulse and inserting silver needles into the important acupuncture points on his body, and seeing that his body was like a rotten wood and had no response at all, the old duke smiled with relief.

He turned to look at the middle-aged woman beside him whose eyes were reddened. "Don't be sad, Your Majesty. It's time for me to live to this age. It's a great blessing. In the future, I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will take care of the Duke's Mansion because I have devoted myself to the country... Prince, Your Highness, I hope you will stick to your original intention, be lenient, and love the people... The great fortune will last for thousands of years if there is a wise ruler..."

The old duke smiled, his voice gradually became unclear, and his eyes slowly closed.

Yu Heng withdrew his hand tremblingly, stood up, took two steps back, and knelt on the ground.

The old Duke...is gone.

"Father!" The queen could no longer hold back and fell beside the couch crying.

Seeing this, the ministers who were anxiously waiting for the result a few steps away all looked sad and turned their heads away, unable to bear to watch.

Xiao Birang also turned his back and sighed sadly. They, the old people, had lost another one.

Afterwards, before he could finish his sigh, he saw his granddaughter rushing in like a lit firecracker, and quickly ran to the small couch, stretched out her hand and pinched the nose of the old man on the couch.
