After the prince left, Yinzuo turned around, hung his head, and scratched his fingernails helplessly.

"Brother, I'm sorry, it's Xiao Liu who got you down."

Yinzhen wanted to reach out and rub the top of Yinzuo's head, but found that his hands were stained with mud, so he had to give up. He opened his arms and gently hugged the little guy who fell into guilt in front of him.

"Don't blame you, just do it if you like it, I will always support you, keep going."

Now Yinzuo has planted flowers according to the order, he nodded slightly, and suddenly felt that he was so happy, there were so many people protecting him.

They moved the dug mud into flower pots, planted the seeds they got, covered them with another layer, watered them, and moved them to a cool place under the corridor outside Yinzuo's house.

Cheng Momo and Xie Momo bathed the two young elder brothers respectively. This time, Yinzuo didn't even have the desire to play in the water, and his whole body was a little sluggish.

Even when it was time for a nap, Yin Zuo tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Time passed unknowingly, and the sky gradually darkened.

"Fourth elder brother, sixth elder brother, it's time for dinner. The imperial concubine invites you two to go there together."

Yin Zuo just woke up like a dream, and said in a daze, "So fast? Didn't you just finish your lunch?"

"Huh? But it's been more than two hours, and it's already dark. It's time for dinner!" Shun Shui scratched his head in wonder.

After being stunned for a while, Yinzuo looked out the window, and sure enough it was pitch black outside.

When Yinzhen led Yinzuo to the main hall, the imperial concubine was already sitting at the table.

"Sit down and eat."

Yin Zuo was absent-minded at dinner tonight, and his eyes did not fall on the dishes, but instead drifted away. It seemed that he was distracted, and the imperial concubine put down his chopsticks.

"Is Xiao Liu still upset about what happened during the day?"

Yinzuo lowered his head, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and hummed softly.

"Your Huang Ama didn't blame you. He was afraid that you would feel sad if you couldn't plant flowers on the Empress Dowager's Longevity Day. Before he left, he told me that he would let the servants of the greenhouse to help you plant flowers tomorrow. You like it. , I will instruct the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up an open space in our backyard tomorrow to plant flowers for you, okay?"

"...Okay~" Yin Zuo's soft voice was slightly choked.

Yinzhen turned his head and found that the little guy was pattering off his golden bumps. Yinzuo was crying, so Yinzhen put down his chopsticks and walked over to hug him.

Yin Zuo is still young, he just wants to plant flowers, he is not wrong, he doesn't know that the prince needs to take into account his identity, and he doesn't know that this matter will be smashed by the noble concubine and use it to make a big fuss, almost implicating the two mothers and daughters. His favorite brother.

Yinzhen could understand the fear and guilt in his heart.

"Why are you still crying? Look at the wronged Xiaoliu, don't cry, okay? Didn't you make an appointment with your brothers and sisters to see the lanterns? Let's eat dinner obediently, so we can go there earlier Playing with them." The imperial concubine got up, patted the little guy on the back, and comforted him in his ear.

It took a while for Yinzuo to recover, but his eyes and nose were red, looking cute and pitiful, the imperial concubine gently wiped his tears with the silk handkerchief on her skirt, even though Yinzuo was not her own , but she also really loves him.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Huanggui. Xiaoliu caused you to be troubled by the imperial concubine." Yinzuo looked at her seriously and apologized in person.

"I'm fine. What's a noble concubine? I'm an imperial concubine. She's much more powerful than her. She can't make trouble for me. It's just a few words. It doesn't hurt or itch."

"That's not the case. It's Xiao Liu's fault. Can Huang Guieriang accept Xiao Liu's apology?" Yinzuo was a little anxious.

"Okay, okay, I accept Xiao Liu's apology, and forgive Xiao Liu." Tong Jia felt that his whole body had softened, because Xiao Liu was so sensible.

"Hmm~" Yin Zuo broke his tears into a smile now, that strong little appearance with tears in his face made people feel distressed and wanted to laugh with him, it was very contagious.

"Then let's have dinner. Today, I asked them to make your favorite corn ham and tofu soup. It tastes tender and sweet, and it also has a unique smell of ham meat. It is not greasy at all." , give it a try."

Yinzuo sorted out his mood, finally let go of the burden in his heart, and started to eat with big mouthfuls, and Yinzhen and the imperial concubine on the table were relieved.

After dinner, the imperial concubine specially called two eunuchs with good skills to follow them to ensure their safety, and then let them out.

Since everyone lived in the East Sixth Palace, they made an appointment to meet at the Jingyun Gate on the east side. It just so happened that the crown prince had arranged for the guards of Jingyun Gate to let them in.

When Yinzuo and Yinzhen arrived, except for the fifth elder brother Yinqi, everyone else had been here for a long time, even the eldest elder brother Yinti was there.

"Xiao Liu! Why did you and Xiao Si come here? I almost went to Chengqian Palace to find you." The second princess ran over and took the initiative to hold Yinzuo's hand.

"It's Xiaoliu's fault for keeping my brothers and sisters waiting for a long time. The dinner is so delicious, I accidentally delayed it for a while, brothers and sisters won't blame Xiaoliu~" Yin Zuo blinked his eyes, a little cautiously.

"No! Who dares to blame you, you are still young, eating well is the most important thing!" Only Yin Zhi, who was kept in the dark and didn't know what happened today because he lived outside the palace, believed Yinzuo's remarks.

The imperial concubine asked people to spread the news that the imperial concubine taught the princes to be bad, and made the two princes play in mud like country children in public. Everyone else living in the palace had heard of it. Yinzuo may have committed the crime.

Everyone guessed that he must have been reprimanded. At first they thought that the two brothers would not be able to come out tonight, but the imperial concubine let them out anyway. From this point of view, the imperial concubine is not what the rumors say , deliberately inducing them to behave rudely.

"Xiao Liu, I have a lot of flower seeds that I have saved over the years. I will ask someone to send them to you tomorrow. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask me." The eldest princess came forward and knelt down in front of Yin Zuo, Looking into his eyes, she spoke softly to him.

"Although I don't like those flowers and plants, but my cousins ​​are convenient outside the palace. If you want any seeds, just tell me, and I can help you!" The second princess added.

"Since Huang Ama has agreed to let you plant it, you don't have to worry about what other people say. The women in the palace just like to tell stories. You are a noble prince. Whether you play with mud or plant flowers, it will not change you. As for the status of the prince, you can be calm in your heart, and what others say is not so important." Even the elder brother rarely said something comforting.

"Thank you, brothers and sisters~ Yinzuo wrote it all down."

After talking for a while, Yin Qi still didn't come.

"It seems that Xiao Wu won't be able to come out. The Queen Mother always looks at him very strictly. Let's go first, or it will be too late." The second princess couldn't wait.

"Let's go, the ministers are all feasting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at the moment, and they won't come out. As long as we leave before they come out, we won't be discovered." The elder brother has already asked someone to investigate the process clearly , leading the brothers and sisters forward very confidently.

"Wow! There are so many lanterns!" The second princess was the first to exclaim.

I saw that the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was filled with thousands of lanterns of various kinds, hanging on wooden stands, swaying with the wind, the lights were bright, like stars, very beautiful.

The six people stepped into this fairyland-like realm, dazzled by the gorgeous lights in front of them, and even Yinzhen, who had lived a lifetime, was almost lost in it.

But reason told him right away that Huang Ama spent an untold amount of money on banqueting the officials this time. When he succeeded to the throne, the treasury was clinking poor, not as rich as his private property, but Huang Ama spent money like water. I have a pity that I didn't even dare to hold a decent Wanshou Festival later, because I really didn't have the money.

"It's so beautiful! Brother, you have lived outside the palace for several years. Do the lantern festivals outside the palace have so many beautiful lanterns?" The second princess asked curiously.

The elder brother smiled and replied: "There are more lanterns in the lantern festival outside the palace than here, but the appearance is naturally not as exquisite and gorgeous as those made in the palace. I can only say that each has its own advantages."

"I really want to take one home." The second princess looked at one of the lotus lanterns hanging high with some regret and sighed.

"Well, I think so too."

The second princess turned her head and saw that it turned out to be the elder sister who loved to put on a dignified look.

"Why doesn't eldest sister continue to act dignified today?" The second princess raised her chin and snorted coldly.

"When did I act dignified?" The eldest princess was a little puzzled.

"There is one! Prudish elder sister!" The second princess even made a face, and then ran behind the elder brother to hide.

"Stop! Speak clearly." The eldest princess chased after her.

In the end, there was a lot of noise, everyone ran up, you chased me, I chased you, all unconsciously showing bright smiles.

Everyone loves to tease Xiao Liu, so everyone deliberately ran behind him, patted his shoulder, squeezed his little face, and then ran away, Yin Zuo stomped his feet angrily, insisting on running to catch them.

Yinzuo ran out of strength and almost fell down, and Yinzhen next to him hurriedly supported him, but he was only a little bigger than Yinzuo now, and he didn't have enough strength, so the two of them fell forward together.

"Be careful."

Fortunately, someone helped him.

Yinzuo raised his head, saw the person's true face, and immediately called out with a smile: "Brother Prince~"

The prince helped the two younger brothers up, and asked with concern: "Did you fall?"

"No, thank you, Prince." The smile on Yinzhen's face had all subsided, and he bowed solemnly.

"Xiaosi still keeps the rules. You and Xiaoliu can call me brother prince. You don't have to be so restrained in private." The prince patted Yinzhen's shoulder. He knew that Xiaoliu liked him the most. Xiao Si showed hostility, and I was afraid that Xiao Liu would rush to stay away from him, so he also behaved very kindly to Xiao Si.

"Etiquette cannot be discarded." Yinzhen didn't accept his method.

The prince didn't care too much, after all, he just made it for Xiao Liu to see.

"I came out early to report to you. After a while, Huang Ama will lead the ministers out to enjoy the lanterns. Everyone, go back quickly."

"It's so fast, I haven't seen enough." The second princess was a little bit reluctant.

The eldest princess took her hand and smiled at her.

"Go back, don't worry Concubine Rong, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

The second princess responded with some awkwardness, and let her pull her.

The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother are boys after all, and they both lived outside the palace and saw the lantern festival outside, so they didn't stop in a hurry like the second princess.

"Then let's all break up and go back to the palace." The elder brother spoke in a rather elder brotherly manner.

"Xiao Liu, wait for a while, this is for you." The prince brought an exquisite lantern from somewhere, and there were unicorns with different postures painted on it.

Yinzuo opened his mouth slightly, and he happily reached out to pick it up, but suddenly turned his head to look at his brothers and sisters behind him.

"But...the brothers and sisters don't have any, Xiaoliu still doesn't want it, thank you, Brother Prince~"

The prince smiled and scratched his nose.

"I knew you would say that, everyone has one for them alone."

As soon as the prince finished speaking, several eunuchs came out behind him. They handed the lanterns they were carrying to the princes and princesses, and then retreated silently.

"You can always accept it now, right?" The prince raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, and passed the lantern in his hand forward.

Yinzuo took the lantern that fit his heart with joy, and thanked softly: "Thank you, brother prince, you are so kind, brother prince, I like it very much~"

"If you can replace the one just now with Gu, Gu will be happier, go back quickly, Huang Ama and the others are coming out soon." The prince teased and urged them again.

"Thank you, Prince." The others also thanked before leaving.

Yinzhen took Yinzuo by the hand and wished he could go back to Chengqian Palace as soon as possible. The prince used to invite people to buy people's hearts. Yinzuo was still so young, and if he was coaxed by the prince several times like this, how could he remember that he told him to stay away from the prince? Yinzhen Suddenly, I felt very irritable in my heart, but I couldn't figure out why I was so irritable.

After walking a few steps, Yinzuo turned his head, and as expected, the elder brother of the prince was still looking at him, and he smiled and waved the lantern on his hand to him.

"Goodbye, Brother Prince~"

"Go back sooner." The prince smiled and warned again.

Yinzhen's mood suddenly became worse, and the hand holding Yinzuo subconsciously clenched even tighter.

"Brother~"

"Brother~"

"Brother~"

……

It wasn't until he reached the gate of Chengqian Palace that Yinzhen woke up like a dream, and turned to look at Yinzuo beside him.

"what happened?"

"You are holding it too tightly, Xiaoliu's hand hurts so much..." Tears welled up in Yinzuo's eyes, and he complained aggrievedly about his brother's evil deeds.

Yinzhen moved his gaze to the hand that Yinzuo Dangcai held by him, the fingers were faintly purple, one can imagine how hard he was just now.

But Yinzhen's pride and awkwardness prevented him from apologizing to Yinzuo frankly.

"...I'm going to sleep first." After finishing speaking, Yinzhen turned around and stepped into the gate of Chengqian Palace. He didn't look back, and his back looked very indifferent.

"Brother..." Yinzuo's jaw trembled, and tears fell from his eyes in the blink of an eye.

He didn't understand why his brother suddenly became so angry. Yinzuo only felt pain and wronged.

"Sixth elder brother, don't cry. Fourth elder brother may be too tired. This servant will take you back to sleep, okay?" Cheng Momo knelt down and wiped away her tears for her little master, although she didn't understand the two little elder brothers There was a sudden quarrel between them, but she was just a servant, and apart from comforting her little master, she didn't dare to comment on Si elder brother at will.

Mammy Xie said with some embarrassment: "Sixth elder brother, don't cry, fourth elder brother may be sleepy, so his temper became a little bit bigger, it wasn't on purpose, servant girl left first."

After finishing speaking, he also took the palace servants who were serving the fourth elder brother, and followed quickly.

Mother Cheng carried Yinzuo back to the house, waited for him to wash up, and changed him into clean pajamas. Although Yinzuo didn't continue to cry during this period, her big eyes lost their former glory and looked very listless.

"Sixth elder brother, go to sleep, wake up, everything will be fine." Cheng Cheng could only comfort him in this way.

No matter how sad Yin Zuo was, he didn't want Cheng Nai who grew up with him to worry about him, so he responded in a low voice and closed his eyes obediently.

As usual, he said softly to her: "Good night, mother~"

Cheng Momo is used to her little master always saying this special sentence before going to bed, so she also replied: "Good night, brother six."

At this time, in the room on the other side, Xie Mama undressed the fourth elder brother, covered him with a quilt, and planned to leave.

At this moment, she heard the fourth elder brother ask calmly: "Is he crying?"

Madam Xie sighed, she is the fourth elder brother's wet nurse, and she knows the fourth elder brother's personality better than others, he is not the kind of person who will get angry casually, these servants were all waiting at the bottom of the square , so she didn't know what happened in the square.

"Yes, the sixth elder brother... is very sad. After all, the sixth elder brother is still young. If you do something to make the fourth elder brother unhappy, you can just let it go. After all, the sixth elder brother is closest to you." Mammy Xie really felt sorry for Sixth Brother, and couldn't help but say a few nice words for him.

"Mommy, go out."

Xie Momo hesitated to speak, sighed, turned around and left.

Yinzhen kept his eyes open, he didn't explain to Madam Xie that Yinzuo didn't make him angry, he was angry with himself.

The prince treats Yinzuo so well, even better than he treats Yinzuo. What if one day Yinzuo regards the prince as his closest brother because of this...

Thinking of this, Yinzhen clenched his hands tightly into fists. He couldn't accept the result. Yinzuo is his own brother, so he can only get close to him as his own brother!

The author says:

Yinzhen was furious: Xiaoliu is my own brother, mine!
