andma?”

“Why isn’t he back yet?” Xiaobao asked.

“He…” Zi Su said embarrassedly.
“He’ll be back in two days.”

“Why aren’t you taking us there? Does Great-Grandma not like us?” Xiaobao asked again.

Zi Su was stumped by these words.
What did Madam tell her? She had forgotten the words after the two children joked around!

“Of course Great-Grandma likes you, but we also like you.
If you all leave, we’ll be sad too.” Prince Yan appeared in time.

Zi Su heaved a sigh of relief and stood up to bow.
“Your Highness.”

“You can leave,” Prince Yan said.

“Yes.” Zi Su left as she was told.

Prince Yan walked up to them with two pairs of small tiger shoes.
He squatted down, picked up their little feet, and put them on.


Prince Yan led them back to the house and fetched hot water.
He wiped their feet and let them lie under the soft blanket.

Er’bao and Xiaobao reluctantly accepted the fact that the three brothers were not together because they were accompanying different elders, but they still missed Dabao very much.

“When will Dabao be back?” Er’bao asked.

They had asked this question no less than a hundred times, and they had answered it no less than a hundred times.
Prince Yan patiently said, “In two days.”

Xiaobao counted with his fingers.
“Two days.
We agreed.”

“Okay.” Prince Yan smiled and nodded.
He tucked them in and patted their little shoulders to coax them to sleep.

Sigh.

The two little fellows sighed in their hearts.
They really missed Dabao.

In the bamboo forest on the other side, Dabao had also laid down.
He did not have anyone to coax him.
Only a mute slave entered the room and extinguished the light for him.
He took off his shoes clumsily and climbed onto the bed in the dark.
He placed himself in the middle of the bed and pulled the blanket over him.

He curled up his little body.


He rubbed his reddened eyes.

Dabao is not cold.

Dabao is not afraid.

Dabao won’t cry.

Dabao had to be strong.

… .

After Er’bao and Xiaobao fell asleep, Prince Yan called Fu Ling and Shadow Six over and asked them to guard the two of them while he went to Xiao Zhenting’s courtyard.

“Are you looking for the Marshal? He’s not around.
He went to buy food for me,” Shangguan Yan said as she looked at Prince Yan, who had visited in the middle of the night.

Ever since the two of them met, they had been at odds.
It was difficult to imagine that Prince Yan would take the initiative to visit Xiao Zhenting.
