TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

"Just do it yourself. I can do it better than you even without my sister's help."

"Humph, I've seen that big ball in Xianfu Palace before. Just wait for your defeat."

Jingluo suddenly turned around and glared at Yongzhang, "Second brother, I've told you many times that the ball was made by my mother, my mother made it!"

After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves to prove her strength. She had also been secretly practicing for a long time, okay?

"Then we have a deal. We'll vote and decide. Whoever gets the most votes wins."

Yong Zhang saw Jing Luo getting angry and leaned back subconsciously, then immediately calmed down. His elder brother was here, so Jing Luo didn't dare to do anything.

"If I win, you can't attack me for six months, not even as a joke, and you can't spar with me in martial arts class."

"Second brother, why are you like this? You are a real man..."

"Um... never mind. If I win, second brother will be my sparring partner for six months."

Jing Luo forgot what he was going to say next for a moment, and waved his hand boldly to skip it and stated his request.

Ever since she knew about her amazing strength, Jingluo started trying various weapons. The small whip could no longer satisfy her needs.

But even so, the teacher would unconsciously let her go every time he taught her, just because she was a princess.

Only the second brother would give his all when fighting with her, and he would improve every time.

Yong Zhang unconsciously looked at Yong Lian's figure beside him, hoping that his brother could give him some advice.

But what greeted him was the other person's ruthless back.

"Well, keep your word."

The two little guys seriously called Yonglian and Jingxi over to be witnesses, and promised not to deliberately destroy each other's achievements in the process.

While they were working hard, Yonglian also got up to play with his sister. He was actually no longer interested in these things, but he just cherished every time he played with his brothers and sisters.

Langya asked the craftsmen to make various small gadgets for them according to the molds she had seen before. In addition to the simplest little duck, there were also many exquisitely carved gourds, longevity peaches and other styles.

Last time, Jingxi hung a lot of small gourds on the dead tree, but now there are only a few left.

"Brother, help me pick out all those molds. I want to get a better-looking one this time."

This time she picked a tree that looked stronger, and ordered Yonglian to work without any hesitation.

"Use this little lantern. It looks more refined."

Looking at the mold Yonglian handed over, Jingxi frowned and wanted to refuse, but this was chosen by her younger brother...

"Sister, use this. I've painted a layer of red paint on the inner wall of the mold, so the lanterns will be red when they come out."

The youngest, Jingyu, handed over another lantern mold.

As soon as she saw Jingxi frowning, she instantly knew what her sister was hesitating about, and sprinkled a layer of paint in the mold as quickly as possible.

It doesn't matter if it's uneven or not, as long as it's not white.

Jingxi hugged her sister and gave her a kiss, "Third sister is so thoughtful."

Jingyu's cheeks turned red after being kissed, and his usually calm mind became a mess. He picked up the paintbrush and was about to go to work.

"I...I'll go draw a more beautiful one for Big Sister."

Yonglian realized at this time that the white lantern had a bad meaning. He was embarrassed for a moment, and then he took out the lantern inside and rolled it into a snowball.

"Third sister, let me help you. Let's do it together."

Compared to their boldness and unrestrainedness, Jingyu is more careful and meticulous in doing things.

The palace maid following behind her was holding a complete set of pigments, all of which were unmixed powders.

The last time when they were playing in the Imperial Garden, Jingyu heard Jingxi say that the snowman was pretty, but it was bare and nothing new.

They also used some small items for decoration.

Today's activity was also arranged in advance by several friends. Jingyu collected a box of various paints from her mother in advance, wanting to use them to make some new things.

The two had a clear division of labor, Jingyu filled the paint and Yonglian filled it with snow.

"Third sister, do you think this position looks good? Aren't these two peaches too close?"

"It seems so. A little further north, the rabbit holding the longevity peach is also very interesting."

Jingxi is responsible for choosing her favorite spot and placing the appropriate snowball.

"Ah...sister, save me, my snowman's head is about to fall off."

Jing Luo held the snowman's head in her hands helplessly, trying to stuff it back in, but it was of no use.

She simply shouted nervously, hoping that her brothers and sisters would come to help.

Yong Zhang, who was standing next to her, was unhappy. "We agreed to rely on our own abilities, why are you asking for outside help?"

"Then I want it too, big brother, help me!"

"You agreed to complete this independently, so don't cheat."

Yonglian's serious answer shattered their fantasies.

The palace servants who served them wanted to come forward to help, but were all refused without exception.

Except for the palace servants who had taken care of them since childhood, the newcomers were all nervous when they saw this scene.

It's so cold, whose little master took off his hand guards and came to play in the snow, and played for such a long time.

If he catches a cold, it will be fatal, and none of those who serve him will survive.

Last time, there were several ladies following, so naturally no one dared to say anything.

Today's scene has caused many people to have other thoughts in their minds.

"Second Prince, it's freezing cold. Let me escort you back to the palace. The Empress is still waiting."

A nanny following Yongzhang was the first one who couldn't help it, but she simply didn't want to be cold here.

"No, my game with my sister isn't over yet."

Yong Zhang refused without even raising his head.

"Second Prince, how can this competition be more important than your health? The Empress specifically told you to be careful and not to catch a cold."

The nanny was still not giving up. She took the hand warmer and stuffed it into Yongzhang's hand, trying to stop him from playing in the snow. The young eunuchs beside him wanted to stop her, but she pushed them back calmly.

Yonglian and Yongzhang will officially move to the South Third House after the new year, and will also go to the study room to study every day.

At this time, there were not enough people to serve them, and the person who spoke was the nanny newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

She also paid a lot of money to be assigned to the Second Prince. As long as she can gain the prince's trust, she will have a glorious future.

That's why she is so eager to express herself.

She wanted to establish herself as a person who was devoted to her master, and she was not afraid even if the trouble came to Concubine Chun. As a mother, she would definitely be satisfied with such a loyal servant.

Yong Zhang was already worried about losing, as this would affect his quality of life for the next six months.

Seeing that the person next to him was still talking, he suddenly became a little anxious.

"I said I'm not going back!"

"Yes~"

The nanny was also startled by Yong Yongzhang's sudden increase in voice. She didn't dare to speak anymore and wanted to retreat awkwardly.

But the movement here has attracted everyone's attention.

Jingxi brought his younger brother and sister-in-law to this side. Jingluo was the closest to them, so he took off the weapon at his waist and swung the whip on the ground at the feet of the nanny.

Snowflakes flew in the air, and bits of them fell on the hem of her clothes.

The other party was so scared that he stepped back suddenly, knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy.

"Who are you to speak to my second brother like that? Does he need your permission to do anything he wants?"

The whips danced in the air, making crackling sounds, but very little of them landed on the opponent.

"Princess, please spare me, please spare me. I dare not show any disrespect. Please understand, Second Prince, please save me!"

"Shut up! It's unbecoming to yell in the Imperial Garden."

Yonglian's childish and majestic voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even at such a young age, he can already see the shadows of his parents.

"Big brother, this nanny won't let second brother play with us and insists on asking him to go back, but second brother says he doesn't want to."

When Jingluo saw Yonglian coming, she put away the whip and complained loudly and angrily.

"Please forgive me, eldest prince. I am just worried about the health of the second prince."

Yonglian turned his gaze to Yongzhang, signaling him to explain the matter clearly.

Yong Zhang had only spent a short time with this nanny and they didn't have any strong feelings for each other, so he told her everything.

Yonglian's eyes darkened. He had heard from the Empress Dowager that some personal servants had ulterior motives and would deliberately lead the princes and princesses to get close to them.

They took advantage of their master's power to stir up trouble behind the scenes. They had only been in the palace for a short time when signs of this appeared.

"You are such a careless servant, trying to find an excuse to interfere in your master's affairs. Take him away and give him twenty lashes, then hand him over to Madam Chun for punishment."

After saying that, he gave Yong Zhang a look. If he wanted to keep this person, now was the time to show him some kindness. If he didn't want to, then that was it.

They rarely have time to relax and will not waste their energy on such things.

Yong Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly, and the young eunuch who was holding the nanny quickly covered the other person's mouth and dragged him away.

"Brother, please give me your opinion. Which of these eyes looks better with a round stone or this amber pebble?"

No one took this little incident seriously and continued with their activities.

The servants around were frightened. It was a common practice for these young masters in the palace to be close to the people around them.

The focus of the concubines' lives is on how to win favor. It's okay for a prince, but if it's a princess, she can easily be controlled by them.

The most feared person here is Jingyu's nanny. In her opinion, the Third Princess and Wanpin are both gentle masters, and she will definitely live a good life.

But now, she put aside those little thoughts.

The match between Yong Zhang and Jing Luo ended with Yong Zhang winning.

There was no way. Yonglian and others looked at that top-heavy weirdo and couldn't go against their conscience and vote for Jingluo.

"Humph! I'll definitely make a more beautiful one next year."

Jingluo was not angry even though she lost. She always had a big heart. She turned around and went to study the villain with Jingyu.

Jingxi is very good at hands-on work. Under her guidance, everyone made a small gift to give to their mother.

Langya was very happy to receive the gift, a beautiful ice crystal lotus. The ice on the leaves was peeled off, and then a layer of light water red paint was applied, and then glued together layer by layer with snow.

It is crystal clear and looks very beautiful.

"Lianxin, help me put it on the table in front of the window, be careful."

Langya held her two children in her arms and kissed them for a long time. They were still little babies now, and she couldn't do that when they grew up a little.

Smelling the familiar fruity scent on the Empress Dowager, Yonglian felt a little shy, but he still couldn't bear to hide away.

"Su Lian, get some anti-frostbite ointment and give some to each of the young masters. Also, give a bottle of pills to prevent colds."

Langya held her daughter's hand and applied the ointment to her little by little. The children played without any restrictions.

Although they are in good health, they still need to be taken care of carefully.

Langya will not stop them from having fun, and there will be no problem as long as they make good preparations for the follow-up.

These ointments and pills are all made by Langya using her own medicinal herbs, and they are very effective.

"Come, warm it on the stove to let the ointment seep in. Yonglian stretched out his hand."

"My Queen Mother, this is unnecessary for your son!"

Yonglian was a little hesitant. Deep down, he longed to be close to his mother. Since his status changed, his masters had begun to teach him to be steady and decent.

He is also adapting to the new life little by little.

Langya didn't care about that and reached out to pull her son's arm over.

"Are you going to be estranged from your mother now that you've grown up? You're only a few years old now, and I won't interfere with other things. But if you refuse to do something as trivial as applying the medicine, it will really hurt your mother's heart."

Langya pretended to be sad and scared Yonglian.

Feeling his sister's elbow hitting him from behind, he quickly stretched out his hand and obediently let his mother apply the medicine.

Feeling the same warm atmosphere as before, he relaxed completely and couldn't help complaining.

"Don't be sad, mother. It's my fault. Ever since I entered the palace, my every word and action has been watched. If I'm not careful, a master will come up to teach me a lesson."

Seeing her son's frown, Langya smiled and comforted him.

"As a prince, you must learn these rules. Just don't let them constrain you. They are both a cage and a weapon. Only by learning them well can you use them for your own benefit."

"You don't need to work so hard in front of your trusted relatives. Mother won't alienate you because of the rules. Mother hopes that you and Jingxi can do what you like."

The two little guys looked at Langya with sparkling eyes and nodded heavily.

Children who grow up in love will grow the strongest bones.

Chen Wanyin was very touched when she received the ointment from Su Lian. She took Jingyu to the direction of Changchun Palace to express her gratitude.

After sending Su Lian away, she took out the pill and handed it to her daughter. The fresh aroma of medicine wafted into her nose.

"The medicine from your Empress Dowager has always been the best. Even the Imperial Hospital can't compare to it."

Jingyu nodded obediently and swallowed the medicine with the water handed to him by his mother.

According to the rules, all medicines in the palace are controlled, but Langya's identity is special, so no one will spread these things around. Those who benefit from it naturally know what to do.

While applying the medicine, Jingyu told Yongzhang what happened today.

"Mother, that nanny has ulterior motives, right?"

Chen Wanyin touched her daughter's soft hair and felt a little sad.

"Yes, Jingyu, you must remember that you are the princess of the Heavenly Family. You must have your own insights and judgments. Don't let those around you control you. You must always stand up for yourself."

“Some people may appear to be dedicated and loyal, but in reality they are just smooth talkers.”

"These people are using this to gain advantages. You must learn to discern the intentions of those around you. In everything, you must clearly see who the ultimate beneficiary is. Don't be blinded by the illusions before your eyes."

Jingyu nodded, not quite understanding. She regretted saying this. Her mother seemed to feel depressed all of a sudden.
