Xiao Jingheng felt that what Xu Mengfei said made a lot of sense, so he agreed.

"Princess, what you said is right, but my life over the years seems to be nothing special. For the moment, I really don't know where to start."

Xu Mengfei smiled when she heard that. "You're talking as if my life is so colorful. We all grew up in the palace. There's no need to explain what the palace is like, right? What interesting things can there be? But it doesn't matter. I'm naturally curious. I want to hear everything about you. Just talk slowly. We have plenty of time now anyway. However, I can give you a chance to ask questions first. Is there anything you're curious about? I can answer your questions today."

After Xu Mengfei said this, Xiao Jingheng didn't bother to be polite with her and actually started asking questions.

"There is one. I see you often mention your second brother. Do you and your sister have a good relationship?"

Xu Mengfei smiled when she heard this, "Is it that obvious?"

Xiao Jingheng showed an expression of "what do you think" and nodded vigorously.

"It's very obvious. Although it can be seen that you grew up being pampered, I think your second brother should be the one who loves you the most, right?"

When Xu Zhenjie was mentioned, Xu Mengfei couldn't help but smile.

"You guessed it right. It is true. Although Second Brother is not my biological brother, he is the best person to me and always puts me first."

Xiao Jingheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Seeing how good their relationship was, he thought they were real siblings.

"Isn't he your biological brother?"

Xu Mengfei nodded when she heard this. "My biological brother is the crown prince. We are both born to our mother. My second brother's mother is Concubine Xu. Our father doesn't have many concubines, only the three of us. We all grew up together, and we have no conflicts with each other. We all have a good relationship."

"I see. That's really rare. Such a harmonious relationship is rare even among ordinary families, let alone the royal family."

Xu Mengfei agreed, "Yes, maybe it's because there is no conflict of interest between us. The Crown Prince is my father's eldest son and has been trained according to the standards of a Crown Prince since he was a child. My father's attitude is very clear, and maybe my second brother also knows that he has no hope, so he simply doesn't fight for it."

Xiao Jingheng smiled when he heard this, "Indeed, there is no need to waste time on some things that you know are impossible. Your second brother is right."

Xu Mengfei nodded, "Yes, I think so too. The Crown Prince is very busy every day and has no time to pay attention to me. You also know that I am not a person who will stay still. Since the Crown Prince has no time to pay attention to me, I will go and pester the Second Emperor and ask him to play with me."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng couldn't help but smile, "Well, this is indeed what you would do, but if you pester him like this, your second brother will probably be impatient, right?"

Xu Mengfei chuckled when she heard that. "You're right. Although the second prince also wanted someone to play with him, he wanted to play with boys more and disliked my noise. But once I make up my mind, I won't give up easily. The more he tries to avoid me, the closer I will follow him. When he didn't play with me, I cried and made a fuss. Later, the second prince was afraid of me and compromised."

Xiao Jingheng smiled and said, "Your character is not something you developed overnight. It turns out that you have been like a little bully since you were young. Who dares not to do what you want?"

Xu Mengfei smiled shyly, "I am the only and most beloved little princess of my father. I am very arrogant in the whole palace and no one dares to disobey me. But having said that, I know that my second brother is actually very soft-hearted. He doesn't want to disappoint me, so he plays with me."

Xiao Jingheng agreed, "That's true. Although I don't know your second brother, I think all brothers in the world should be the same. Even if I don't have a sister, I don't think any brother would be willing to make his sister sad, right?"

"Yes, but my second brother is a stubborn person and refuses to admit it. I once asked him why he agreed to take me out to play. He said he was afraid that I would complain to my father if he didn't do so, so he agreed reluctantly. It's really funny that he didn't tell the truth."

Xiao Jingheng chuckled when he heard this, "You, you dare to say anything. He is a grown man and he also needs to save face, okay? Don't expose him."

Xu Mengfei smiled, "Actually I know everything, but I didn't expose him to his face. Later I started to follow the second brother, he took good care of me, and our relationship got better and better. Although the crown prince loves me very much, he is really busy as the crown prince, and we don't have much time to spend together. To be honest, in my heart the second brother is more like my real brother, and I am closer to him. I'm only telling you this, it's a secret between us. You can't tell anyone, otherwise the crown prince will be sad."

Xiao Jingheng was amused by Xu Mengfei's innocent words, "Listen to what you said, isn't it redundant? I don't even know your brother the prince, how can I tell him?"

Only then did Xu Mengfei realize that what she had just said was a bit outrageous, and she laughed.

"Then you can't tell my second brother either. If he knew how important he was to me, he would be very proud."

Xiao Jingheng disagreed and said, "This possibility is almost gone. Won't your second brother leave for home tomorrow? I'm afraid there will be no chance to see him again in the future. He won't know."

As soon as Xiao Jingheng said this, Xu Mengfei's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Jingheng observed the change in Xu Mengfei's expression, and then he realized that he had just said something he shouldn't have said.

Xu Mengfei and Xu Zhenjie have such a good relationship. It will be difficult for them to meet after Xu Zhenjie leaves. Xu Mengfei must be very sad.

Maybe Xu Mengfei was too happy today to think about this matter, but he took the initiative to bring it up now.

Xiao Jingheng felt very guilty at this moment and even wanted to slap himself in the face.

He is usually very cautious with his words, why is he so disappointing today?

Seeing that Xu Mengfei was already beginning to feel sad, Xiao Jingheng hurriedly advised: "Princess, look at how I talk nonsense, don't take it to heart. You two siblings have such a good relationship, you will definitely have a chance to see each other again in the future, don't be sad."

Xu Mengfei also knew that Xiao Jingheng did not mean it. The expression just now only lasted for a moment, and she immediately forced a smile.

"I'm fine, don't be nervous. I've already prepared myself for parting with my second brother, so you don't have to blame yourself."
