Tuanzi, who was lying on the crib, started crying. The wet nurse ran over and saw that he had peed himself.

He reached out and took out the wet diaper and pad, intending to change the Tenth Young Master into a clean bellyband.

The child was lying there not quietly, his pink little hands waving around.

The Hetian jade bracelet on his wrist had a golden bell hanging from a red gold curved tube, which made sounds when he moved.

The sound of the bells made his hands and feet, which were as fat as lotus roots, move more vigorously, making him look extremely adorable.

Gu Jinchu bent down, put her upper body into the mosquito net, and took Tuanzi out. She coaxed softly: "Sister is still sleeping, mother will take you out to play."

The Hetian jade and red gold curved tube bracelets on the wrists of the two children were given to them by their eldest princess cousin.

Yongle said that in this way, when the child woke up, even if the servants were not around, they would be able to discover the child and rush over immediately by hearing the sound of the bells in their hands.

Gu Jinchu held Tuanzi in his arms, holding his chubby little hands and teasing him.

When they grow up a little and like to put everything into their mouths, the bells on the bracelets can be removed.

So that they won’t accidentally swallow it.

......

When Zhao Xuan came out of Shou'an Palace and passed by Yinghua Palace, she saw Wang Quan and a group of people from afar.

They were in a hurry and looked serious.

When Wang Quan saw the eldest princess, the whisk in his hand drew a semicircle in the air and lightly landed on his arm.

He walked over with the people behind him and bowed to Zhao Xuan, "Hello, Princess."

The moment he bowed and lowered his head, he glanced inconspicuously towards both sides of the princess's procession.

There was only the eldest princess' sedan chair on the aisle, and the servants beside her were all from the palace. He was very familiar with their faces.

Wang Quan frowned, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Zhao Xuan sat in the sedan chair, the canopy raised high blocked the scorching sun above her head, and cast an oval shadow on the stone pavement.

She turned slightly to the side, resting her elbow on the chair beside her. Seeing Wang Quan sweating profusely, she asked, "What's the emergency? Why did you ask Eunuch Wang to go out in the hot sun?"

Wang Quan stood up straight, turned sideways to make room for Qing, and said respectfully:

"The Empress Dowager wants to eat the zongzi cakes sold in the market. I am afraid that I will be late and will not be able to let her have a bite of it at dinner."

Zhao Xuan nodded, raised her hand and told the palace servants beside her, "Give the umbrella you brought out to Eunuch Wang." Then she turned to Wang Quan and said, "Then Eunuch Wang, please hurry up, or we may miss it."

Eunuch Wang took the umbrella with both hands and bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your consideration, Princess. The Queen is now in charge of the palace's food supply, so the Queen Mother has a lot of free time."

"After you left the Cining Palace this morning, the Empress Dowager told us that when the eldest princess gives birth to a princess or a prince, she can help the Dowager Concubine Shu with her worries and train the young masters together in the future."

"It's a good thing that the Empress Dowager can think so far ahead... If the eunuch fails to buy the zongzi, please send someone to the Princess's residence to let me know. I will have someone send it to the Empress Dowager tomorrow."

Zhao Xuan said with a faint smile on her face as she looked at Wang Quan who was standing under the sedan chair.

Wang Quan bowed and left in a hurry with his men.

Looking at the backs of the group of people, the anger in Ruxia's eyes was about to burn.

Zhao Xuan shook her head, her expression unchanged. She whispered, "Everyone has gone far away, come out."

After she finished speaking, a thin young man jumped down from the high red wall beside the alley.

If the eldest princess' sedan chair had not happened to pass by here, the sunshade canopy above the sedan chair would have blocked the sunlight so that Zhao Kuo's shadow on the wall could not be seen from the ground.

If it weren't for this situation, Zhao Kuo would have been discovered by Wang Quan and others by now.

Zhao Kuo got up from the ground, looked in the direction where Wang Quan and the others disappeared with lingering fear, and bowed to Zhao Xuan on the sedan chair and said, "Thank you, sister."

Zhao Xuan looked at him somewhat nonchalantly, the relaxed expression she had just had when dealing with the eunuch still visible on her face.

Zhao Kuo brushed off the dust on his body, with an embarrassed look on his face, "Imperial sister, please don't look at me like that?" Seeing that she didn't speak, the smile on his face disappeared little by little.

Zhao Xuan felt a little bored.

The former Sixth Prince, now the Prince of Yan, has never been as harmless as he appears.

She didn't want to know the reason why he was avoiding the eunuch beside the Empress Dowager today.

Zhao Xuan raised her hand and ordered, "Go back to the princess's mansion."

After Zhao Kuo thanked his sister, he waited for her to ask him what had happened.

Seeing her sedan chair moving slowly forward, he raised his leg and took two steps in her direction.

"Queen!"

Zhao Xuan tilted her head slightly when she heard this. "My brother will be heading to Fengdi after his wedding. The most important thing right now is to protect himself."

Zhao Kuo grew taller and his pace became much faster.

He followed the sedan chair in a few steps and whispered to the princess, "Royal sister, including today, you and Concubine Shu have saved me four times in times of crisis... Three times is the limit, I must repay you!"

Zhao Xuan smiled slowly and whispered, "Then I'll just wait."

Zhao Kuo stood straight with his thin body, his face which had lost its childishness looked somewhat mature. He pursed his lips as he looked at the eldest princess's gorgeous and luxurious sedan chair.

As she slowly walked around the corner, Ruxia looked back and said, "Princess, King Yan is still standing there..."

Zhao Xuan nodded lightly.

I don’t know if what happened today was a coincidence or he was the one behind it.

Since Zhao Kuo was about to get married, he would not seek the protection of his mother or the Jiang family behind them.

My mother noticed early on that Zhao Kuo was meticulous.

It’s just that there is no conflict of interest between them. In this harem, it is always better to have one more friend than to make another enemy.

Obviously, her royal brother was not someone who did not know how to repay the help they had once given him.

The incident with the gold thread and jade bracelet was a warning from him.

If Zhao Kuo had not come from a poor family, he would have been considered a leader among the princes of his generation because of his patience.

Now think about it, he appeared near Yinghua Palace, avoiding Wang Quan's pursuit.

Could it be that something happened to the Queen Mother and Zhao Kuo discovered it?

Zhao Xuan beckoned the palace servants to come over and whispered, "Tell Master Qin Lang to pay more attention to the Cining Palace and Prince Yan."
