Rebirth is not a dream.

The fourth prince drank a lot of wine at the night banquet and should have returned to Yiqiu Palace to rest, but for some reason, he felt bored and didn't want to go back to that familiar place. In a daze, his footsteps involuntarily led him to the Dragon Nine Dragon Pool. When he stepped into the Nine Dragon Palace, he was surprised to find that the third prince Yuan Jing was also there.

The fourth prince was slightly startled, then walked forward and stood opposite the third prince. After the two looked at each other silently for a moment, the fourth prince was the first to break the silence: "Third brother, why are you here?" There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in his voice. The third prince smiled and replied: "I was just walking around and happened to come here. Royal brother, what about you? Why don't you rest in Yiqiu Palace, but come to the Nine Dragon Palace instead?"

The Fourth Prince shook his head slightly, and did not directly answer the Third Prince's question, but asked in return: "Third brother, do you think there is a truly peaceful place in this palace?

"His eyes were deep and blurred, as if filled with endless thoughts. The third prince pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Fourth brother, although the palace is bustling and noisy, if you can find peace of mind, where is not a peaceful place?" After speaking, he looked at the fourth prince, his eyes revealing a firmness and calmness.

After hearing what the Third Prince said, the Fourth Prince smiled bitterly, "Third Brother is right, but sometimes, the troubles in one's heart are hard to calm down, and even in a quiet place, one cannot find true peace." He paused, and then said, "However, seeing you here, Third Brother, I feel a little relieved."

The Third Prince nodded, indicating that he understood the Fourth Prince's feelings. He knew that as a child of the royal family, he had too many responsibilities and expectations, and he would inevitably feel pressure and trouble. So, he patted the Fourth Prince on the shoulder and comforted him: "Fourth brother, if you have any troubles, you might as well tell me, maybe I can help you share some of them." The Fourth Prince looked at the Third Prince gratefully, hesitated for a moment, and decided to pour out his worries.

"Third brother, although I am the fourth son, I am not outstanding among many brothers. No matter what I do, it seems that father can't see me." The fourth prince frowned, revealing his inner uneasiness.

The Third Prince listened quietly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Fourth brother, don't underestimate yourself. Father is very busy, as long as you do your duty well, Father will always see it."

The fourth prince nodded slightly, and the anxiety in his heart eased a little. "Third brother is right, father loves you, and I..."

"Why don't we put aside our worries for a while, appreciate the beautiful scenery of the pond and relax our mood." The third prince suggested.

The fourth prince looked at the Nine Dragon Pond, the water surface was sparkling, reflecting the splendor of the palace. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"Third brother, do you want to travel around again?" The fourth prince said with a smile.

"We'll have to wait and see. But I don't really like staying in the palace. Let's enjoy this rare quiet time." The Third Prince took the Fourth Prince's hand and walked towards the pool.

The two stood side by side, looking into the distance. The fourth prince sighed: "Life in this palace may seem glamorous, but in fact it is like walking on thin ice."

The Third Prince turned to look at him, "So we should cherish this moment of peace. But, Fourth Brother, you don't have to worry too much. Everyone has their own shining points, but they have not been discovered yet."

The fourth prince nodded slightly, "Third brother, thank you for your guidance. But sometimes, I really envy you for being able to travel freely."

The Third Prince smiled and said, "Fourth brother, everyone has their own choices in life. You have your responsibilities and destiny, and I have my pursuits and ideals. We just need to do our best and live with a clear conscience."

At this time, a breeze blew past, blowing up their sleeves. The fourth prince closed his eyes, feeling the caress of the wind, and the worries in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Perhaps, this is the way to survive in the palace..." he said softly.

"Father may arrange a marriage for us after the New Year. Does third brother have someone he likes? This is a major event in life!" Yuan Kun couldn't help but look at his third brother curiously, but he just replied indifferently, "No." Then he turned and left, seeming a little tired.

Yuan Kun looked at his departing figure and couldn't help but sigh. Third Brother was always casual and might not care about love. And what about me? I didn't know what the future would be like, and whether I could find the person I really liked.

Back in the palace, Yuan Kun lay on the bed and thought about these things over and over again. Marriage is not only a personal choice for a prince, but also concerns the interests and future of the entire royal family. Although Yuan Kun also hopes to find his true love, he is worried that he will not get what he wants.

Forget it, don't think too much, just have a good rest. There are still many things waiting for me to do tomorrow. I hope everything will go smoothly in the days to come.
