Outside of the imperial garden.

The Crown Prince and Crown Princess got into the carriage back to the palace.

The Crown Princess had regained her former modesty and reserve as soon as they were inside the carriage.

The Crown Prince let out a sigh.

The Crown Princess looked at him, "What does Your Highness have in mind?"

The Crown Prince answered truthfully, "I was thinking… whether you used to coax Ah Heng in the same way?"

The Crown Princess was slightly stunned.

The Crown Prince said, "Ah Heng was a crybaby when he was young, I could do nothing about him at all, but I heard that he listened to you very well, that he stopped crying once you coaxed him."

The Crown Princess laughed, "That was all when I was still a child, I've almost forgotten about it. How can Your Highness still remember it? Your Highness is a man who will become an Emperor. You can't always have these useless things in your mind."

The Crown Prince thought for a moment, nodded, and held the Crown Princess's hand, "What Linlang said is true, it will never happen again. You did a good job this time. Yu Qinwang and Qinwangfei have deep affections towards their children. For their son's sake, their attitude towards the East Palace won't be too bad."

It was as the Crown Prince expected. On the following day, when the envoy of the State of Liang continued to discuss technology and trade in the palace again, Yu Qinwang's attitude towards the Crown Prince eased a lot.

Meanwhile, Yu Qinwangfei didn't trust her son to enter the palace alone, so she personally took Ming’er to the East Palace.

Whenever she remembered the child she met in the medical hall, she couldn’t help but wonder, could her baby not have died that year? Did they make a mistake? Perhaps after the baby was buried, he was dug out of the coffin.

Such a situation wasn’t unprecedented.

A few hours after the child was buried, a faint cry could suddenly be heard again.

Could it be that a kind-hearted person passed by and heard the child crying?

Could that little monk with no parents actually be——

Yu Qinwangfei couldn’t wait to see Little Jing Kong again.

"Mother, mother!"

Ming’er shook Yu Qinwangfei's shoulder.

Yu Qinwangfei came back to her senses and looked at his son in shame, "What's wrong?"

Ming’er complained, "I’ve been calling you so many times but you don’t respond."

Yu Qinwangfei touched her son's cheek, "Sorry, it's mother’s fault. What do you want to say to mother?"

Ming’er said, "I want to go fishing with big sister Wen, mother shall go too!"

Yu Qinwangfei looked reluctant. She wasn’t in the mood for anything at the moment.

The Crown Princess gently said, "Ming’er, Wangfei has been working very hard to take care of you. Wangfei is tired. How about letting Wangfei rest here for now? The two of us will go fishing and catch two big fat fish to fill Wangfei's belly."

Ming’er thought that was also fine, "All right then, Mother, wait for me here!"

Yu Qinwangfei wanted to say something but then hesitated.

The Crown Princess assured her, "It's not very far away, just in the small pond ahead. You can see us from the attic balcony."

Having heard that, Yu Qinwangfei was relieved.

Ming'er seemed to be a very quiet and well-behaved child, but actually... He wasn’t your average kid either.

Yu Qinwangfei made her way to the attic.

The palace maids of the East Palace were very considerate, they brought a soft cushion in the balcony as well as a wooden table to set up tea and snacks.

The railing had a vertical pattern, so Yu Qinwangfei could see the scenery below as she lay on a rattan chair.

The sun was very bright today, and lying here was very comfortable.

Yu Qinwangfei watched Ming’er as he was feeding fish and fishing by the pond, her eyes flashing a smile. But when he thought of the baby who died very young, her smile gradually faded.

……

Today, classes in the Imperial Academy's elementary school ended early, and Little Jing Kong went to Xu Zhouzhou's home to play with Gu Jiao's consent.

Qin Chuyu was there too.

Recently, the three of them had become the three thugs of elementary school, belonging to a terrible little gang that made the other children feel the need to take a detour when they encountered them.

Xu Zhouzhou's house was recently being repaired and there was so much knocking noise everywhere. Qin Chuyu, unable to stand it any longer, invited the two to play in the palace instead.

Little Jing Kong and Xu Zhouzhou had entered the palace once. When Xu Zhouzhou returned home, he showed off to his father and grandfather about what he had seen and done, which made his father and grandfather envious.

This time, they also didn't say anything and just allowed him to go.

Little Jing Kong didn't have time to inform JiaoJiao. He planned to act first and report later. Anyway, it was all having fun, it didn’t matter where he played.

Three people went to the palace.

It was a situation that was strange at first, but became familiar soon enough. The little eunuchs around Qin Chuyu already knew what to do as they brought their little master and his classmates into the East Palace.

The arrival of the envoys of the State of Liang didn't have much impact on them, except that they were no longer allowed to carry small buckets and patch the wall in the palace. The three of them also felt that they had enough wall pasting and didn't crave this activity anymore.

Qin Chuyu suddenly said, "Let's go and feed the fish! The other day, the East Palace bought a lot of koi fish, they’re all big and fat!"

At the mention of this, Little Jing Kong felt a little sad.

It was because the piranhas that Xu Zhouzhou gave him were eaten by Little Nine...

This was really a very sad story.

But Xu Zhouzhou said he didn't mind at all. He comforted him and said, "It took so long to be eaten? My cat ate mine the very next day!"

Little Jing Kong：“…”

Well, thinking that fish in his home actually lived longer made Little Jing Kong feel a little less sad.

Three people went to the small pond in the East Palace.

At this time, the Crown Princess and Ming’er were also in the small pond, with only two palace people around them, one was the court lady of the Crown Princess and the other was Yu Qinwangfei's attendant.

Ming’er's interest in fishing had long gone, and the Crown Princess was now telling him a story.

Seeing Qin Chuyu, the court lady whispered to the Crown Princess, "Your Highness, His Seventh Highness is here."

The attendant didn’t recognize Qin Chuyu, but he knew that there was an eight-year-old little prince in the State of Zhao.

His eyes lingered around Qin Chuyu and Xu Zhouzhou, both of whom were similar in age, and both of whom wore Imperial Academy uniforms. He couldn't tell which one of them was the little prince.

The Crown Princess turned around. When she saw Qin Chuyu and the two small classmates around him, she smiled slightly, "Little Seven is here?"

"Yi? You’re also called Little Seven?" Little Jing Kong tilted his head and looked at Qin Chuyu.

Qin Chuyu explained, "I am the seventh son in my family."

Little Jing Kong's eyes were wide open, his expression as though amazed by the coincidence, "So is my chicken!"

Qin Chuyu: ...I somehow feel offended.

"Are these the two friends you often tell me about?" The Crown Princess's gentle eyes rested on Xu Zhouzhou and Little Jing Kong.

Xu Zhouzhou had never seen such a beautiful person before, and he was unable to close his gaped mouth.

Little Jing Kong, on the other hand, was very calm.

Not as beautiful as JiaoJiao.

JiaoJiao was the most beautiful.

The Crown Princess couldn't help but look at Little Jing Kong.

Qin Chuyu introduced his friends to her, and then introduced her to them, "My sister-in-law."

He didn't say imperial sister-in-law.

Children’s thought process didn't make Little Jing Kong and Xu Zhouzhou wonder why Qin Chuyu's sister-in-law appeared in the palace.

On the contrary, another unexpected guest caught Qin Chuyu's attention. He pointed to Ming’er and asked, "Who is he?"

The Crown Princess said in a warm voice, "This is a little guest from the State of Liang. You should call him brother Ming’er."

They all studied several languages at the Imperial Academy and knew about the six countries, one of which was the State of Liang.

This was the advantage of studying in the capital, the knowledge taught here wasn’t comparable to that of in the countryside.

Ming’er was somewhat aloof and was reluctant to play with the three of them at first, but all three people were very interesting children, and Ming’er was gradually attracted by the interaction of the trio. Finally, it was unknown who first called who, in short, the four of them played together.

The four people fed the fish together, caught the fish together, competed with spinning tops... and played blindfold tag.

The three of them had a good time. Of course, so did Ming’er.

The Crown Princess showed a satisfied smile.

The court lady also said, "His Seventh Highness is much more sensible than before. It seems that being taught beside Her Highness these days has played a big role."

The Crown Princess smiled and said nothing.

Today, her time of the month came around, so she was not feeling well. She said to the court lady by her side, "I'm going to the latrine. Please keep an eye on them."

"Yes." The court lady obeyed.

But who knew that in the time she was in the latrine, the four children got into a fight.

To be exact, it was the three small buns who beat up Ming’er!
