Zhao Hezhong rushed into the study, and from a distance, he saw He Ziyao and went up to him, "Oh my ancestor, why are you sweating so much?"
"Father... Father is looking for me," He Ziyao said, slightly out of breath, but overall he looked fine.
"Right, the prince is inside. Since you're here, hurry up and go in," Zhao Hezhong helped He Ziyao wipe the sweat off his forehead before letting him inside.
Upon entering the room, He Ziyao didn't dare to look around casually and walked straight to He Yu's desk, "Father."
"You're here. Did you sleep well last night?" He Yu put down the military report in his hand, raised his head with a smile, and asked leisurely.
He Ziyao didn't expect He Yu to ask this and was at a loss for words, his face slightly awkward, "Uh... I..."
"Alright, I already know," He Yu had no intention of continuing to make things difficult for a child. "You argued with Zi Xi last night, and after returning home, you probably didn't sleep well, right?"
How did Father know that he had an argument with Zi Xi? He Ziyao looked up with a puzzled expression at He Yu.
He Yu waved his hand dismissively, "Don't look at me like that. The sound of your argument with He Zi Xi must have been loud enough for everyone in the East Back Courtyard to hear. Do you think no one noticed?"
"I..." He Ziyao was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say.
He Yu was unconcerned and stepped forward, "Zi Xi was just worried about you. Look at your strength; your face is all swollen this morning. Why did you hit him? He's just a frail scholar."
Hearing that Zi Xi had been hurt by him made He Ziyao anxious. "But he..."
"He's fine. This morning, Zhang Taiyi came to check on Yao Yao and conveniently prescribed some ointment for Zi Xi. It's something we often keep in the residence; after applying it, he's already alright."
Upon hearing this, He Ziyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Actually, I hit him because he said some disrespectful things about you and the princess. I just..."
Regarding the argument, He Yu heard someone reporting everything that happened between him and Xiao Yao early this morning.
In fact, both He Yu and Xiao Yao did not find it surprising that He Zi Xi had such thoughts; instead, they could understand it. After all, these two children had been wandering outside for a while, experiencing hardships and the ups and downs of life, so it was not unusual for them to think this way. Moreover, for Xiao Yao and He Yu, adopting the two of them was really just a matter of convenience.
If they had expended tremendous effort, energy, and time on this matter, hearing He Zi Xi's words would certainly have made them furious, wishing to kick this ungrateful rabbit Cub out of the palace immediately. However, they were both individuals who had lived through multiple lifetimes. Even though Xiao Yao did not remember her previous lives, she still possessed the necessary mindset. As for He Yu, there was even less need to argue with a child whose mind was still immature.
After all, even when they were wandering outside, He Ziyao instinctively protected his younger brother. Many experiences that He Ziyao went through were things He Zi Xi had never faced before. Consequently, He Ziyao understood how difficult this life was.
Moreover, differences in life experiences lead to variations in personality and perspectives on issues; thus, the conclusions drawn could be completely different. Therefore, there was no need to get angry over these matters. Instead, the couple exchanged playful banter and shared a laugh.
When He Zi Xi came to greet the couple with half of his face swollen, Xiao Yao directed someone to apply medicine to him while teasing him about being overly worried about his brother. Xiao Yao comforted him, saying, "Even if Zi Yao is on the battlefield, most of the time he is by the prince's side. The prince will naturally ensure that Zi Yao does not run around; you can rest assured."
Upon hearing Xiao Yao's promise and with He Yu chiming in beside her, He Zi Xi finally felt somewhat reassured.
Xiao Yao applied medicine to him and said, "If you're really worried, take your two younger brothers to the Buddhist temple in the suburbs of Beijing to ask for a safety talisman for them. I'm currently not in a position to go myself; you can take mine as well."
He Zi Xi nodded silently, feeling a bit guilty about what had been said last night. He led his two younger brothers to the Buddhist temple intending to ask for a safety talisman for their father and brother.
Meanwhile, He Ziyao hesitated as he explained this matter to He Yu. He Yu smiled and patted He Ziyao's shoulder, saying, "It's fine; he will come to understand."
"You don't blame him?" He Ziyao asked in surprise.
"What's there to blame? I am your elder; how can an elder argue with juniors over such matters?" He Yu chuckled and continued, "You simply haven't experienced enough yet. Especially you, Zi Xi; although it seems you have gone through many things, most of those situations were likely shouldered by you alone."
He Ziyao fell silent for a moment before saying, "Because I am the elder brother..."
"So he is actually under your protection and hasn't experienced too much, which has led to his shortsightedness," He Yu interrupted He Ziyao, who was trying to defend He Zi Xi. He looked at He Ziyao's flushed face and continued, "Many things can only be appreciated when experienced firsthand. Without certain experiences, Zi Xi will naturally think this way. Once his experiences become a bit richer, he won't think like this anymore."
"Mm." He Ziyao had no words to respond and could only nod dryly.
He Yu smiled slightly and did not continue on that topic but instead began to explain the things to pay attention to when going out, detailing everything meticulously.
He Ziyao took out a pen and paper, listening very attentively.
The Xuanping Prince's Mansion had been bustling these days due to the preparations for He Yu and He Ziyao's expedition, while Xiao Yao, the princess, was not needed much.
"I'm really sorry I can't prepare these things for you myself," Xiao Yao said apologetically to He Yu while holding her daughter.
"That's nothing; as long as you are well and the child is well, everything else is unimportant," He Yu said, poking his daughter's cheek and lightly laughing while embracing Xiao Yao.
His daughter immediately burst into loud cries from the poke. The previously gentle Consort Xuanping, who had been tender-hearted just moments ago, instantly changed her expression, swatting away He Yu's hand that was about to poke their daughter again, complaining, "What are you doing! Do you only feel happy when you make her cry? What a cruel sense of humor!"
He Yu retracted his hand after being scolded by Xiao Yao, but the corner of his mouth still curled up mischievously, revealing a big white smile. "Of course, it's a chance to play a little more. By the next time we meet, this little girl might even be walking."
