The Seventh Prince had already learned to walk, and was able to walk briskly before he was one year old. He ran around the house like a wild horse, and the huge Yongshou Palace could not restrain his active steps, so Ling Rong would take him out to stroll around the Imperial Garden every day and enjoy the view.

Today was no exception. Ling Rong took the Seventh Prince for a stroll in the Imperial Garden beside the Yongshou Palace. When they were tired, they drank tea leisurely at a table nearby, watching with a smile as the Seventh Prince fluttered in the garden like a butterfly under the attention of the maids and eunuchs, tossing the flowers.

No one noticed that the Fourth Prince walked out slowly from the flowers and plants nearby with his head down, and was caught off guard by the Seventh Prince who was rushing forward.

The Seventh Prince was like a bull, pressing against the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince was unable to react in an instant and reached out to grab him, but unfortunately he failed. Although he didn't know who had bumped into him, he knew that the palace maids and eunuchs had rules and must not act so rashly.

Although he was bumped into, he was fine. But the Seventh Prince was young and fell down first.

Seeing clearly that it was the Seventh Prince who was running around, he hurriedly picked him up. As soon as the Seventh Prince realized that he might have been in trouble, he immediately burst into tears, and the Fourth Prince who was holding him was stunned by his tears.

He patted the Seventh Prince's back gently, coaxing him not to cry, and walked towards Lingrong while holding him in his arms.

Ling Rong also stood up and went to meet him. She knew that the Seventh Prince was just pretending to cry. He would not cry like this when he was really angry, so she was not in a hurry. She reached out to take the Seventh Prince who was crying loudly and comforted him softly, pretending to be angry.

"Hello, Empress." After handing over the Seventh Prince, the Fourth Prince bowed and greeted Ling Rong. After being interrupted by the Seventh Prince, he forgot about his previous worries.

Ling Rong nodded in return and asked with a smile, "Why does Fourth Prince look so listless?"

She could guess that the Fourth Prince was worried about the issue of choosing a crown prince, but that had nothing to do with her and she didn't care. She asked this question casually.

"I'm fine. I did accidentally bump into Empress Xian and disturbed your view." Establishing a crown prince is a big deal, he is not stupid enough to tell everyone who asks.

"It's okay. It's just that the Seventh Prince couldn't stay in Yongshou Palace, so he ran out to play. I'm glad you're okay. The Seventh Prince was naughty and bumped into you, which affected your thinking." Lingrong said with a smile.

In his previous life, the Fourth Prince went through a lot of hardships before being raised under the name of Zhen Huan. At that time, he was already very outstanding and had the protection of Zhen Huan, but the current Fourth Prince looks quite innocent.

Without saying a few words, the Fourth Prince said goodbye to Lingrong and continued walking forward. His back was still so listless. As soon as the Fourth Prince left, Lingrong immediately smiled and said to the Seventh Prince, "Okay, stop pretending, the person has already left."

Upon hearing the sound, the Seventh Prince also looked in the direction where the Fourth Prince had gone, and only stopped talking after making sure that he had really left. He twisted and turned to try to get off Ling Rong.

The Fourth Prince continued walking forward and unknowingly walked into the Plum Garden. In the late autumn in the Plum Garden, the leaves of the plum trees gradually changed color, from green to yellow, orange or red, forming a colorful color. Some plum trees began to shed their leaves, presenting a quiet and bleak atmosphere. Just like the Fourth Prince's current depressed mood.

Empress Zhen Huan was also secretly sad walking in the Plum Garden, she couldn't believe that the child she had protected with all her heart was gone. Plum Garden had helped her a lot in her past and present lives, so she couldn't help but want to come here more often to see if she could get any inspiration.
