It happened that Zhang Shou was on duty as a lecturer in Ciqing Palace today. After the formal lessons were over, the tutors were very tactful and slipped away with various excuses such as taking a break or drinking tea. From the moment he saw Zhang Shou, the little prince, who had been hesitant to speak, could be seen by almost everyone, finally didn't have to hold back anymore.
So, about the incident that day when the Fourth Prince escaped from the palace and went to Zhang Garden, and after coming back was taken by the Emperor to Fengxian Hall to kneel for a whole night, he asked Zhang Shou in detail and learned that his father and his fourth brother did not have a big fight in Zhang Garden. He then breathed a sigh of relief, pressed his chest and smiled at Zhang Shou.
"My fourth brother refused to say anything, and I was really worried sick about him. Father was very angry that day, and my fourth brother was not careful with his words, and it almost caused a big accident." The third prince tactfully brought up the matter, and then whispered, "When I was left in the palace, I was shocked and scared. I just thought that he should have gone to Zhang Garden. If the teacher can mediate, maybe he can be persuaded to stay."
"But later when I went to Fengxian Hall to visit my fourth brother, I was stopped. After returning from Fengxian Hall, my fourth brother refused to say anything. He also didn't live in Zhaoren Hall these days. I really..."
After hearing this, Zhang Shou finally understood. It turned out that he was a good brother who always loved his younger brother. Now he couldn't find an opportunity, so he was in a complicated and tangled mood. He was worried that his younger brother would not understand and would be depressed, and he was also afraid that he would be impulsive and cause trouble. Such a mood of worrying about gains and losses was really rare in the increasingly calm and generous Third Prince.
He immediately laughed and said, "So, Zheng Yan didn't attend the class at Ciqing Palace today, but disappeared. Do you also feel a little uneasy?"
I'm more than a little uneasy, I'm extremely worried!
The Third Prince was yelling in his heart, but he had to maintain the little bit of the East Palace's demeanor in front of his teacher, so he just nodded slightly, but his wandering eyes explained his thoughts very well. So Zhang Shou smiled and shook his head, then took a plate of dried fruits from the high table beside him and handed it to the Third Prince.
"You, to be subtle, are overly worried. To be frank... you, my brother, are too nosy! Although Zheng Yan is still young, he is sensible as a member of the royal family. It is time for him to go out and do things on his own. Didn't he learn a good lesson about social reality in Baijia Village? He is not here today. He must be going to complete the task assigned to him by the emperor..."
Before Zhang Shou finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside: "Is the Fourth Prince back?"
Following this voice, there was no response, and he saw a familiar little figure outside running in excitedly. It was the Fourth Prince. The naughty child shouted "Third Brother, Teacher" as if nothing had happened, and then ran to him, and then shouted with annoyance on his face; "Those Koreans are really useless, crying all the time, not like men!"
Zhang Shou felt his eyebrows twitch slightly, and suddenly remembered the scene when he occasionally glanced at a Korean drama. He shouted "Empress" and said that he was moved to tears... Regardless of whether it was a translation problem of the Chinese dubbing, his first reaction at that time was to change the channel quickly!
