Yinzhen and Su Peisheng returned to Yuqing Palace together. Without much delay, they went straight to the study.

He Zhu saw the visitor and said respectfully, "This servant pays his respects to the Fifth Prince."

Yinzhen asked, "He Zhu, is my elder brother in the study?" Then he waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so formal.

He Zhu replied, "Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince is in his study right now. Eunuch Liang sent some memorials today, and the Crown Prince is reviewing them."

Yinzhen: "Go in and tell him that I need help from my elder brother."

He Zhu: "Fifth Prince, please wait a moment. I will go in and report." Then, he knocked on the door softly, pushed it open, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is outside requesting to see you."

Cheng Hu didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly, "Xiao Wu is here. From now on, he will be like Bao Cheng. He can enter and leave my study without being told to do so. He can just come in directly."

He Zhu responded respectfully, "Yes, I will go and invite the Fifth Prince in right away."

Cheng Hu: "Go prepare Xiao Wu's favorite refreshments and bring them over."

He Zhu stepped back gently, his tone full of respect: "Fifth Prince, the Crown Prince invites you in."

Yinzhen asked Su Peisheng to stay outside while he walked into the study with a firm step. He saw a man in an apricot-yellow dragon robe sitting behind a desk, concentrating on reviewing memorials. He called out softly, "Brother~"

Cheng Hu gently put down the red brush in his hand, with a hint of warmth in his eyes. He looked up at his brother standing in the middle of the study and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, you are here, come and sit down."

Yinzhen sat aside: "Brother~"

Cheng Hu: "Well, big brother is here. Xiao Wu, what's the matter? Are you having trouble with your schoolwork or did your father catch you being naughty again?"

He Zhu brought some tea and snacks, gently pushed open the door and walked into the study, set them aside and then left.

Yinzhen scratched his head helplessly, with a hint of grievance in his tone: "Brother, you know that horseback archery has always been my weakness. I always fail the test."

Cheng Hu said, "Oh, that's it. Your third brother is good at riding and shooting. Didn't he teach you?"

Yinzhen said to Chenghu with grievance, "My third brother is busy trying to please Nuonuo all day and has no time to teach me how to ride and shoot. Big brother, can you spare some time to teach me?"

Cheng Hu stood up, walked over to him, gently touched his head, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will talk to my father later and ask him not to send memorials for the time being. This way, big brother will have time to teach you, okay?"

Yinzhen reached out and hugged his eldest brother's waist, saying happily: "Eldest brother is still the best. Third brother only knows how to please Nuonuo."

Cheng Hu let him hug him without resistance and whispered, "You are my youngest brother. If I don't dote on you, who else can I dote on? Xiao Wu, how are your schoolwork and calligraphy practice going? If you fail, I, your eldest brother, will punish you."

Yinzhen said, "My eldest brother, you personally taught me both my studies and calligraphy. Are you still worried?"

Cheng Hu smiled and said, "That's good. You can't be careless about your studies and calligraphy."

Yinzhen exclaimed in admiration: "Father has mentioned many times that my elder brother's calligraphy is truly exceptional."

Cheng Hu: "I taught you and your third brother's calligraphy myself. If you want to write better, you have to practice diligently."

After hearing this, Yinzhen understood his elder brother's good intentions and replied firmly: "Brother, I will practice calligraphy diligently and live up to your expectations."

Cheng Hu smiled and said, "That's good. I'll conduct random inspections in a while. If anyone is found to be unqualified, I will give appropriate punishment."

Baocheng hugged his sister tightly in his arms and walked slowly into his eldest brother's study. He joked to Xiaowu, who was holding his eldest brother, "Hey, Xiaowu, why are you trying to steal my eldest brother from me again?"

Yinzhen retorted disapprovingly: "Who said that the eldest brother is yours?"

Nuonuo reached out to her elder brother: "Brother, hug me~"

Chenghu smiled and said, "No problem, big brother, come and hold her!" He patted Xiaowu's shoulder gently, then gently picked up his sister, showing his full love.

Yinzhen gently squeezed his sister's chubby little hand and smiled dotingly, "Nuonuo, you were only born a moment later than me, and you're still begging big brother to hold you. You're such a lazy little bug! Aren't you worried about tiring big brother out?"

Nuonuo said proudly, "Fifth brother, do you know how much Big Brother likes me? It's useless even if you're jealous!"

Yinzhen said: "I'm really not jealous. I sleep with my elder brother every night. How can I be jealous?"

Nuonuo said in a soft and sticky voice: "Brother, I also want to live with you, is that okay?"

Cheng Hu shook his head seriously: "No, according to the rules, boys and girls cannot sit at the same table after the age of seven, so you can't live with your brother. However, you can go live with your eldest sister, she will take good care of you."

Nuonuo asked curiously, "Why can Fifth Brother be in the same room with you, Big Brother?"

Cheng Hu said: "Your fifth brother is my biological brother, so it's fine for us to live together."

Nuonuo felt a little lost and said softly, "Okay."

Chenghu said to Nuonuo, "Sister, you can come to Yuqing Palace to see me anytime."

Nuo Nuo responded sweetly: "That's great, thank you, big brother!"

Yinzhen quietly tugged at his third brother's sleeve and jokingly said, "Third brother, look, now that the eldest brother has a younger sister, she's the only one he has eyes for. He can't even see us."
