If not abolished

"Brother, how could you have been so careless and left something behind today?" Zhu Zhanqi's voice suddenly came, and the two people who were originally close to each other quickly moved apart.

"You talk so much nonsense. I should have let you come with me." Zhu Zhanhe was annoyed by his talkative brother along the way. If he had known, he should have come alone.

"Hey, Brother Crown Prince, why are you here?" Zhu Zhanqi walked closer and saw Zhu Zhanji and the others, and was a little surprised to see Sun Ruoji.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Zhu Zhanhe greeted.

"I just came out and saw this girl fall down, and was just about to call for help," said Zhu Zhanji.

"Did you fall again?" Zhu Zhanqi asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I just fell down. It's nothing serious. It might be that my shoes rubbed my feet today." Sun Ruoji said with her head down.

"Are you really okay?" Zhu Zhanqi asked worriedly.

"Your Highness, it's really alright. It's getting late, so I'll be leaving first." Sun Ruoji bowed to them and left quickly.

After Zhu Zhanji saw the people leave, he turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Oh, brother left something behind and came back to get it." Zhu Zhanqi answered quickly on behalf of his brother.

"Is that so? Then go and look for him quickly. I'm leaving first." Zhu Zhanji said and left.

"Brother, why don't you go get the things yourself? I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Zhu Zhanqi ran away without waiting for a response.

How could Zhu Zhanhe not know that this guy was about to run away? Thinking of the woman just now, Zhu Zhanhe frowned. Could this guy be...

Zhu Zhanhe's guess was correct, Zhu Zhanqi quickly caught up with Sun Ruoji.

"Girl, wait, wait." Zhu Zhanqi shouted from behind.

Sun Ruoji turned around in surprise and looked at him puzzledly, "What's the matter, young prince?"

"I... I just want to... want to send you back, I'm afraid something might happen to you." Zhu Zhanqi said stutteringly, his face blushing.

"Thank you, Your Highness, but it's really not necessary. I can do it myself." Sun Ruoji didn't want to trouble this little prince. If someone saw this, they would gossip about it.

"I know you're afraid of what others might say, so I'll just follow you from a distance. I live next to Yikun Palace, so it's just on my way."

"Since the young prince is going back too, that's fine." Sun Ruoji knew that Zhu Zhanqi would not give up if she didn't agree.

"Okay, by the way, I've met you a few times, but I still don't know your name?" Zhu Zhanqi asked.

"I am Sun Ruoji, a lady who has recently entered the palace." Sun Ruoji stated her identity in the hope that Zhu Zhanqi would stop pestering her.

"So she's a lady." Zhu Zhanqi originally thought that she was a maid in the Yiku Palace or something, and thought that if he wanted a maid or something, the emperor might not agree, but if she was a lady, then he would have a chance.

The two walked one after the other. Zhu Zhanqi watched Sun Ruoji go to Yikun Palace again before returning.

After returning, Sun Ruoji thought about what happened today. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt sorry for her. It was just that Zhu Zhanhe and others suddenly appeared at the end, and she did not pursue the victory. It seems that she still needs to work harder. It seems that just waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to leave get out of class is not enough. She has to think of other ways.

When Zhu Zhanhe came back, he saw his silly brother with a silly look on his face. He couldn't bear to look at him. He walked up to him with a sigh and said, "What are you thinking about? Your mouth is watering."

Zhu Zhanqi just saw his brother coming back. Hearing this, he quickly touched the corner of his mouth with his hand, but felt nothing. "Brother, why are you helping people?"

"Look at you, you're so silly. Don't tell me you're thinking about the girl you met today?" Zhu Zhanhe said as he poured himself a glass of water.

Zhu Zhanqi was a little embarrassed when his brother pointed it out to him, and hesitantly said, "How did my brother know?"

"Who wouldn't see it from the look on your face?" Zhu Zhanhe was speechless.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanqi had nothing to hide, so he patted his brother's hand and asked, "So what do you think, brother? Do I have a chance?"

"No, you don't want to marry her?" Zhu Zhanhe was shocked.

"I like her, so what's wrong with marrying her?" Zhu Zhanqi disagreed.

"You're crazy, do you know who that girl is?"

"I know. Aren't we the ladies who entered the palace this year? We are the legitimate sons of the princes and we are in the capital now. Isn't there no chance?"

"You might think that if you were attracted to an ordinary lady, it would be fine. You could go to His Majesty to ask for grace. But the person today is not an ordinary person." Zhu Zhanhe saw that his silly brother had special feelings for that woman, so he sent someone to check on Sun Ruoji's situation.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhanqi was confused.

"This Miss Sun was sent to the palace by the Crown Princess's mother's family. I heard that before she entered the palace, she made His Royal Highness the Crown Grand have a fight with others outside the palace for her. She was deeply in love with her, and even the Crown Princess was helpless. She had to let her enter the palace and learn palace etiquette from the Imperial Concubine in the Yikun Palace. Who is the Imperial Concubine? She was taught by the late Queen herself. So Sun Ruoji is the future Crown Princess who is known to the whole palace. You still want to have a chance? Who will give you a chance?" Zhu Zhanhe said it in one breath, shattering his brother's dream.

"How could this be? Is what my brother said true?" Zhu Zhanqi was unable to react for a moment.

"You can find out if what I said is true if you go out and ask around."

Seeing that he was so confident, Zhu Zhanqi knew that this matter must be correct and he was suddenly discouraged.

"Be good, forget it. If you compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for someone, you will bring trouble to yourself. If His Majesty finds out, you will be in even more trouble." Zhu Zhanhe said when he saw his brother's sad look.

"But we are also the emperor's grandsons, and our father is also his legitimate son. Why? I..." Zhu Zhanqi was a little unconvinced.

Zhu Zhanhe heard his brother's treasonous words and immediately slammed the table and scolded him: "How dare you say such treasonous words? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future emperor, and we are just his subjects."

Zhu Zhanqi was frightened by his brother. "I was just angry for a moment. Don't be angry, brother. I won't dare to do it again next time." Zhu Zhanqi said, pulling his sleeve.

"Don't say such things anymore." Zhu Zhanhe said sternly again.

"I see. It was my brother who made a mistake."

"Xiao Qi, we are in the palace now. If someone hears this, we will be finished." Zhu Zhanhe said, touching his brother's head.

"Ah."

"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Don't think about other things. Just train hard."

"Okay, but I'm still very sad, brother."

"It's okay, everything will pass. After the festival, we will go back home and we won't see each other anymore. You will slowly forget about it. There are plenty of girls in the world." Zhu Zhanqi comforted his brother.
