The eldest princess nodded without thinking too much, and the third prince knew the queen's thoughts, but still nodded subconsciously.

Su Youyi looked at the second prince, who pursed his lips and did not speak.

After a while, he said, "I have something I want to say to you, is that okay?" ”

Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, "Do you say it alone?" ”

The second prince nodded.

Su Youyi thought about it and said, "Of course you can." The eldest prince, you go back first, I will order someone to send him back after I finish talking to the second prince. ”

The eldest prince glanced at the second prince with some unease, and then saw that Su Youyi was accompanied by so many palace people, so he didn't make a sound and left honestly.

When the people left, the second prince said: "My father beat me that day, why did Concubine Zhao save me?" ”

Su Youyi said: "I didn't do anything, it was your father who softened your heart after teaching you a lesson, and it wasn't because of me that you let you go back." ”

"Whoever it is."

The second prince said: "Except for Concubine Yan who is my adoptive mother and has to come, you are the fastest." I'm just wondering, why are you helping me? ”

Su Youyi thought for a while and said with a smile: "If I say that because you are the emperor's son, because you are an innocent child, you may not believe it." After all, in your heart, if I don't get along with your biological mother, Li, I shouldn't treat you well, right? ”

The second prince bit his lip and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Su Youyi said, "Sure enough." Actually, there is another reason why I helped you, your aunt - I'm talking about Li Ziyue, the wife of Lord Ji, she asked me to take care of you, I was just entrusted by others to be loyal. ”

The second prince was stunned when he heard this.

Li Ziyue?

The aunt who was full of benevolence and morality and persuaded him to study hard, be obedient and sensible?

When his mother was there, he once said that this aunt was naturally dull and useless, and later he saw it himself and found that his mother was not wrong.

Unexpectedly, it was this aunt who she looked down on, and asked Su Youyi to take care of herself.

He frowned, thought about it and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "What benefits did your aunt promise you?" ”

Su Youyi was slightly stunned.

"Can't I promise her if it's not good?"

The second prince was silent again.

Su Youyi was a little helpless, "If you think about it carefully, you will know who really loves you who really loves you between the people who use you to consolidate your position and the people who want you well." No matter how much I say, you may not believe it, I can only say that I admire Li Ziyue's pure goodness when she comes out of the mud, and I respect her deep affection for your calf, that's all. You're a smart kid, maybe one day. You'll figure it out. ”

After that, he turned around and got on the sedan chair and headed towards Yongshou Palace.

The second prince stood in place, stunned as she watched her sedan chair leave, while Cuiwei waited with the two little palace maids of Yongshou Palace.

After a long while, she stepped forward and whispered: "Second prince, Niang Niang ordered the slaves and maids to send you back to the East Fourth Institute." It's getting late, so let the slave send you back. ”

Su Youyi's sedan chair had long since been far away, turning into a small black dot, and she could no longer be seen.

The second prince sighed and nodded silently, still thinking about her words in his mind......

Back to the East Fourth Institute, because the emperor was going to hold a Duanyang Festival banquet today, the school did not hold classes.

But the eldest prince and the others still gathered in the school hall and sat around the big round table where they usually eat snacks, and everyone did not speak.

Maybe I was shocked by today's events, maybe I was thinking about something I couldn't say, or maybe I was just waiting for the second prince to come back and eat together......

The eldest prince and the third prince have not sat at the same table for a long time, and the queen's people are strictly guarded on weekdays, and the third prince is not allowed to talk to the eldest prince at all.

Today, Su Youyi's promotion and the news of her pregnancy caught the queen off guard, so she didn't have the energy to take care of the three princes.

Seeing that there was no one around, the third prince slowly moved to the eldest prince's side and bit his ear with him.

The eldest princess opened her eyes wide with curiosity when she saw it, and vaguely heard the sentence "You are my eldest brother no matter what", and she didn't know if she heard it wrong.

After hearing this, the eldest prince smiled, and said to the third prince: "Concubine Zhao said, don't affect children about adults. ”

It was rare for him to be willing to admit that he was a child, and the third prince smiled when he heard this, and took his hand.

The two brothers have been separated for many days and have returned to their previous situation, and even the eldest princess is very happy to see it, and she can't stop laughing.

Suddenly, I heard movement outside the courtyard, and it turned out that the second prince had returned.

Seeing that everyone was sitting in the school, the second prince also walked in and sat down in his place silently.

The four children stared at each other, and none of them spoke.

After a while, it was the eldest prince who spoke first, "The zongzi given to us by Concubine Zhao, today is the Duanyang Festival, let's eat it together." ”

The remaining three nodded.

The eldest prince personally stretched out his hand to open the food box containing zongzi, and suddenly said "huh".

When they heard the sound, they all looked into the food box.

The fragrant smell of zongzi leaves came out of the food box, and at the same time, there was a burst of white gas. When the hot white gas dissipated, everyone saw the green fat bulging rice dumplings inside, wrapped into a lovely quadrangular shape.

But if they looked closely, they knew what the eldest prince was surprised about.

"Didn't Concubine Zhao say that she made different marks for the zongzi that each of us loves?"

The eldest princess expressed everyone's doubts, obviously the zongzi in the food box all look the same, where is there any mark?

The eldest prince finally believed Su Youyi's words, so he said: "Maybe the mark is too small, let's not see it clearly, take it out and take a look?" ”

After that, he took out the zongzi and put it on the table, and the four children studied it for a long time, but sure enough, they still didn't find the mark.

The eldest prince had no choice but to break open a zongzi at will, and the aroma of meat emanated from the white and tender rice dumplings.

He raised his head and said, "Who loves mushroom stuffing?" ”

The second prince raised his hand, and the eldest prince put his peeled zongzi into his bowl, and the second prince looked at the white fat zongzi in his bowl in a daze, a little distracted.

The third prince also peeled a zongzi in the same way as the eldest prince, and gently broke it, "Ah, there are dried scallops in this, which the eldest brother loves to eat, isn't it?" ”

The eldest prince nodded at him, and he drew a gourd in the same way, peeled the zongzi, and put it in the eldest prince's bowl.

Everyone peeled the zongzi with their own hands, and the second prince peeled a chestnut ham, hesitated for a while, and still sent it to the third prince's bowl.

The third prince smiled at him, "Thank you, Second Imperial Brother." ”

The second prince lowered his head, and saw that the eldest prince peeled out another sweet one, and when he sniffed it, he knew that it was the red date longan that the eldest princess liked, so he sent it to her bowl.

"Thank you, Brother Emperor!"

The eldest princess smiled sweetly, and her voice was so nice that the eldest prince couldn't help laughing, "Okay, now that you have it, sit down and eat." ”
