Chapter 107 Brothers
Hu Ming smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness hasn't laughed since he left the Queen's palace."
Prince Ning found it quite funny, "What's so funny?"
Hu Ming pursed his lips, looked around, and whispered, "The queen is the same. You are obviously her son, but for so many years, she has only thought about His Royal Highness Prince Zhou. People's hearts are biased, but they can't be so biased, right?"
He, an outsider, felt uncomfortable, let alone Prince Ning.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for his master. "The master's talent and ability are not inferior to King Zhou. Why does the queen like King Zhou so much? She embroidered a cape for him, but when she came to the master, she said she didn't have time. It's really..."
Before he could finish his words, King Ning paused and saw two people walking towards the rockery in front.
Guan Zhen pushed Qin Yunxian's wheelchair, and he didn't know whether to go or not. After hearing about the family affairs, he felt very embarrassed. He bowed and lowered his head, pretending to be deaf.
Qin Yunxian glanced at Prince Ning and Hu Ming, nodded, and said to Guan Zhen: "Let's go."
"Yes."
Guan Zhen wished he had eight legs so he could push Qin Yunxian away from this dangerous place.
However, King Ning suddenly stretched out his hand to block their way.
Qin Yunxian's eyes were slightly cold, he lowered his eyes to look at his hand and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Why do you look unhappy every time you see me, brother?" King Ning asked sincerely, frowning slightly, as if he had been confused for a long time. He carefully asked, "But when did my younger brother offend you without knowing it? Brother, why don't you tell me? You and I are brothers, and we shouldn't be so distant."
"You didn't offend me." Qin Yunxian leaned on the back of the wheelchair with a calm expression, and was not disturbed by his words.
King Ning frowned even more tightly, "Why is that?"
Qin Yunxian didn't answer, "I have something else to do, please make way."
Prince Ning did not withdraw his hand, and even took a step forward to block the wheelchair, "Ninth Brother."
Qin Yunxian finally looked at him straight in the eye.
Prince Ning's eyes lit up, then dimmed again, "Am I born to be a killjoy? Otherwise, why doesn't my mother like me, and why doesn't my ninth brother like me either?"
"You all say I didn't do anything wrong, but you just won't get close to me. Why?"
He felt a little aggrieved, and his eyes turned red as he spoke.
Guan Zhen felt a little bit reluctant when he saw this, but since Qin Yunxian didn't say anything, he didn't dare to speak and could only continue to play deaf and dumb.
Qin Yunxian's sharp eyes fell on King Ning's face, as if he could see through his skin and into his soul. King Ning's hands hanging at his sides couldn't help but tighten.
That heavy gaze seemed to be real, and Prince Ning suddenly had the illusion that he was being watched by the emperor.
The same pressure is exerted on them, they are truly father and son.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yunxian finally retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Not liking does not mean hating. Father has so many sons. If you want a brother, you can go find someone else."
King Ning smiled bitterly, "I understand."
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and returned to his previous smile. He asked, "Have you set a date for the wedding of Brother Nine and Princess Changle?"
"Not yet."
When mentioning Rong Heqing, Qin Yunxian's eyes became noticeably gentler.
Prince Ning was puzzled: "Brother Jiu really likes her? Why? I feel that she is not worthy of you."
"You don't need to feel whether she is worthy or not. She is my future wife and your sister-in-law. When you meet her in the future, please show some respect."
Qin Yunxian glanced at him coldly and said nothing more, "Guan Zhen."
"Yes." Guan Zhen pushed the wheelchair and turned a corner, passing by King Ning.
This time, Prince Ning did not stop him. He just stared at his receding back in a daze.
Hu Ming spat in a low voice, "He doesn't know what's good for him. Prince Duan is really arrogant. The master spoke to him in a nice tone, but what was his attitude?"
Prince Ning's face did not show much anger, but instead he looked a little thoughtful.
After a while, he retracted his gaze and said to Hu Ming: "Let's go and see our father."
This voice made Hu Ming stunned, "Master?"
"Hmm?" Prince Ning took a step forward and looked back at him. Hu Ming looked at his face and breathed a sigh of relief. He said awkwardly, "When the master spoke just now, he actually sounded a bit like Prince Duan. I was shocked."
Prince Ning laughed, "Nonsense, I'll find a doctor to treat your hysteria when I get back."
Hu Ming slapped his lips and said, "Yes, yes, I am the one who has gone insane."
Prince Ning curved his lips into a smile, said nothing more, and walked leisurely in the opposite direction of Qin Yunxian with his hands behind his back.

As the end of the year was approaching, things from South City were delivered one after another, one truck after another was sent to the palace. It was quite a spectacular sight, and many passers-by stopped to watch and talk about it.
Rong Heqing brought Rong Qiao and others out to pick them up, and this time the person in charge of delivering the things turned out to be Zhou Ze.
It was still summer when she left, and Zhou Ze's face was still very dark at that time. This winter, it became paler and he looked much more handsome.
Upon seeing her, Zhou Ze also smiled and said, "I pay my respects to the princess. Long live the princess!"
He turned around and bowed to Rong Qiao again: "How are the Second Young Master?"
Rong Qiao returned the greeting, "Master Zhou."
Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Rong Qiao carefully. He always felt that something was different about him.
Rong Qiao noticed his gaze and moved closer to Rong Heqing somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhou Ze was more and more surprised.
"This is not a place to talk. Lord Zhou must have been exhausted from running all the way. Come in and have a rest."
Rong Heqing led them into the main hall.
Zhou Ze walked into the palace and looked around, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "I haven't been back for a long time, but the palace hasn't changed much."
Everyone sat down. Wanzhu and Zheliu served tea and then stood behind Rongheqing.
Zhou Ze was quite pleased to see that the servants were orderly and well-behaved. "Before leaving, the prince and princess repeatedly told their subordinates to take a good look at whether the princess was doing well and whether anyone had made her angry. Now it seems that they can rest assured."
Speaking of the prince and princess, Rong Heqing also missed them a little. She asked, "How are father and mother?"
"Your Highness and Princess are doing fine. It's just that she fell ill at the beginning of winter. I didn't want the princess to worry, so I didn't mention it in the letter. During that time, the princess kept talking about the princess, and Your Highness stayed with her day and night. When I left, the princess was already well again."
Pity the parents of the world.
Rong Heqing still felt sad when she thought of the way the princess looked at her at that time.
"I made a hand warmer cover for mother. Although it's a little ugly, it's a token of my love. Lord Zhou, please take it back and give it to mother."
Rong Heqing waved his hand and Wanzhu immediately came forward holding a box.
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "The princess would be very happy if she saw it."
Rong Qiao wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to interrupt, so he just stood there anxiously.
Rong Heqing saw this from the corner of his eye, smiled, and asked, "According to the date, my second sister has already gotten married, right? I wonder if she is doing well in the Cui family?"
Hearing her mention Rong Rushe, Rong Qiao's eyes lit up and he looked at her with gratitude.
