Guo Boyan named his newly born youngest son Maoge'er, hoping that his youngest son would thrive like plants and trees, and be both talented and virtuous.

Mao Ge'er was ugly when she was just born, so ugly that her sister disliked him, but the little guy was very edible. The two wet nurses took turns feeding him, almost every day, and her face stopped wrinkling quickly. She was as naked as a lychee and had a pair of black and white eyes, which looked like Guo Boyan. After the full moon, the little guy grew faster, becoming more beautiful every day.

Song Jianing was particularly fond of his younger brother. He used to play with his three sisters after class. Now after class, he ran back to Linyun Hall, lay on the couch to look at his younger brother, touched his little hands and kissed his little face. When Sanfang and Twins wanted to see her, they had to come to Linyun Hall to find him. Before he knew it, the place where the brothers and sisters met slowly changed from the Changxinyuan of the Grandmaster to the Huanyueju of the Lin family.

Both of her children were liked by her brothers and sisters, and Lin was very pleased. Guo Xiao, Tingfang and her nephews and nieces came, so she retreated to the hall and stayed with her children, leaving the warm room for the children, leaving only the wet nurse and two maids to serve her, so as not to cry and make trouble for her brothers and sisters.

Brother Mao had just eaten his fill and lay on the couch on his back. His big eyes turned to the four sisters on the left, and then looked at the Guo Fu and Guo Shu brothers on the right. His little head twisted left and right, and he turned wherever there was a sound. Because Guo Xiao, who was standing in front of the couch, had never made a sound, and the little guy probably didn't know that there was another brother there.

"Grandmother said, the fifth brother looks exactly the same as the elder brother when he was a child." Yun Fang drew the fat hands of Brother Mao and looked at Guo Xiao and said.

Guo Xiao had no expression on his face.

Song Jianing carefully observed his younger brother. Except for his eyes that look very similar to Guo Boyan and Guo Xiao and his son, he didn't see anything else. First, his younger brother was too small and his facial features were not wide open, and second, she didn't know what Guo Xiao looked like when the moon was full.

"If you look like a big brother, don't follow your temper." Guo Shu said seriously and worriedly.

Guo Fu nodded, glanced at the well-behaved and cute fourth sister opposite, and smiled: "It's better to be like An An. Be fatter and be your company for An An."

Song Jianing gave him an angry look.

The brothers and sisters talked and laughed. Lin came, and the maids saluted them together. Sanfang did not move. She sat on the couch and smiled at Lin. Guo Fu and Guo Shu jumped down from the ground and called "Auntie" respectfully. Lin nodded to the three young men, and then handed a red-bottomed and gold-burned invitation to Guo Xiao, and said with a smile: "Then the day when the Shou Palace was to have guests, I only invited King Chu, King Rui, the Fourth Prince, Prince Shou Dao, and our two mansions were adjacent to each other. You are the princess' cousins, so I invite you to go to the royal mansion to have a meal together that day."

Guo Xiao frowned unconsciously and took the invitation, which was indeed as what his stepmother said.

The young men were more steady, and Yun Fang said happily: "Okay, okay, the palace is so big, I have long wanted to go and have a walk."

Tingfang looked at Lin and whispered, "Mother, I'm old, so I won't go, let my sisters go." She was about to go sixteen after the New Year. Her grandmother had already stated that she wanted to prepare for her marriage last time, and it was not suitable to join in the fun again. After all, King Chu, King Rui, and King Shou were already old, and she was not the cousin of her relatives.

Thirteen-year-old Lan Fang also shook her head.

There were four sisters in total, and neither of them went. Yun Fang hugged Song Jianing's arm and said anxiously: "An An, please accompany me!" He had to bring a sister as his company.

Song Jianing looked at her mother instinctively. Lin smiled gently. Her daughter was only twelve after the New Year, so there was no need to avoid it. She followed her daughter's wishes. Moreover, Lin knew that 99% of her daughter was willing to go. Long before King Shou moved here, her daughter would whisper to her about the situation in the garden of Prince Shou's Mansion. What happened to Prince Shou's Mansion planted persimmon trees, and many green persimmons were formed on the tree. After two months, she swallowed her saliva and told her that the persimmons in Prince Shou's Mansion turned yellow...

There are already persimmons sold in the market. Lin asked the purchasing manager to buy persimmons for his daughter. However, the two persimmon trees in Shouwang Mansion were covered with yellow persimmons. They not only attracted people to greed, but also hooked people to take a look under the tree. Brother Shang, who was in the third house, had a few times, saying that he wanted to go to the tree to play, but now the third wife refused to allow the little guy to run to the back garden.

When her mother didn't give her any advice, Song Jianing pursed her lips, as if two villains were fighting in her heart. One wanted to go to the Shou Prince's Mansion to see the persimmon tree, and the other reminded her that Princess Duanhui is not easy to mess with.

"Go to An An, don't worry, with us here, the princess dare not bully you." Guo Fu said disdainfully. Every time the brother and sister were walking in the back garden, the fourth sister would saliva at the persimmon tree in Prince Shou's mansion. Guo Fu guessed that his sister must want to go, just to worry about Princess Duanhui.

"That's right, let's go together, maybe the prince will allow us to pick persimmons by ourselves." Yun Fang enthusiastically instigated Song Jianing that she also likes to eat persimmons. Can the people buy the same thing as the ones she picked?

Song Jianing wanted to go, but now that her brother and sister advised her, she smiled and was about to nod when she suddenly caught Guo Xiao's cold face and stared at her with dark eyes. Song Jianing's heart shrank, but it was not the time to enter the mansion. Although she was still afraid of Guo Xiao, she was not afraid of listening to him in everything. Song Jianing knew very well that Guo Xiao looked down on her and suspected that she wanted to hook up with King Shou, for fear that she would ruin the reputation of the girls of the Duke's Mansion, but Song Jianing had no intention at all. She was upright and was not afraid of being crooked. What could Guo Xiao do if she didn't make mistakes?

"Well, let's go together." Ignoring Guo Xiao's silent opposition, Song Jianing smiled and said to Yun Fang.

Guo Xiao returned the post to Lin and said seriously: "The Shou Prince's Mansion is unusual neighbors. Please ask your mother to ask your father about this."

Lin nodded, took the post and said with a smile: "Then you keep playing and eat here at noon."

Guo Fu and others quickly declined, sat for a while and went back to their hospitals.

The younger brother finally became his own. Song Jianing sat cross-legged and carefully carried Brother Mao into his arms. No matter how he looked at him, he couldn't even see him.

As night fell, Guo Boyan returned home, hugged Mao Ge'er, and then handed his son to the wet nurse. The couple took Song Jianing to have dinner together. The Guo family had no rules of not being able to speak. Lin gave his daughter a handful of food. After half of use, he remembered the post and said to Guo Boyan softly: "...Tingfang, Lan Fang said he couldn't go, the prince asked you to make the decision."

The eldest daughter and niece are very sensible. Guo Boyan nodded with satisfaction and thought for a while and said, "My mother is going to Anguo Temple that day. Pingzhang and Brother Fu have to follow him. Where is the royal palace, please ask Brother Shu to take An'an and Yunfang to go."

Emperor Xuande was most taboo to princes for forming cliques and private interests. Guo Boyan has not yet figured out why Emperor Xuande had set up the Shou Palace next to his own house. Although King Shou was destined to have no chance of being with the throne, King Shou was the brother of King Chu. If King Chu wanted to win him over, he could have borrowed the guise of King Shou Palace to see his younger brother and sneaked over.

The king's heart is unpredictable, and Guo Boyan has to act cautiously. King Shou's face cannot be refuted, but what should be avoided must be avoided. He only sent his bad three nephews and two and a half-maids. Even if it was heard by Emperor Xuande, Emperor Xuande would not be suspicious of anything.

The Lin family housekeeper learned quickly, and she didn't understand the major affairs of the court. She would do whatever Guo Boyan said. The next day, the children came over and she conveyed Guo Boyan's meaning.

The second son Guo Fu sighed, but his uncle had arranged for his grandmother to go to Anguo Temple temporarily, so he had to obey.

Guo Xiao understood the deep meaning of his father. He himself didn't want to go to the Shouwang Mansion. But... his eyes swept over his step-sister who was sitting among his sisters. He remembered the specialness of Shouwang to his step-sister, and Guo Xiao's chest was a little blocked. After the Shouwang Mansion began to be renovated, Guo Xiao secretly noticed the movement next door. Therefore, he knew that the back garden of Shouwang Mansion was close to his home, and all the transplanted fruit trees were fruit trees, or had been born after more than ten years of age. At that time, Guo Xiao didn't quite understand, and it was not until he caught the longing look of Song Jianing that Guo Xiao suddenly woke up.

This widowed King of Shou was so scheming. His step-sister was only eleven years old, and he was thinking about it. He just didn't know if the King of Shou was not given a marriage, and it was related to his step-sister.

Guo Xiao didn't want his step-sister to have any involvement with Shouwang. After leaving Linyun Hall, he called his third brother Guo Shu aside alone and whispered: "Your Highnesses are not young anymore. Tomorrow, you should carefully look at Yunfang Jianing and don't let them be alone."

Guo Shu widened his eyes and said incredibly: "It's not that right? How old are they?" Anyway, in his eyes, the two younger sisters below were still children.

Guo Xiao said coldly: "Just in case."

Guo Shu pondered for a moment and thought of the fourteen-year-old fourth prince. He was closest to his two sisters and was most doubtful.

"Okay, brother, don't worry." Guo Shu straightened his chest and promised.

Guo Xiao nodded and watched his cousin take a few steps. He called out again and added: "Duanhui is arrogant. If she is so arrogant, let Jianing come back first."

Guo Shu snorted: "She dares."

The two brothers looked at each other and left separately. The next day, the grandmother was entrusted by her son and led the second and third wife to Anguo Temple to burn incense. At the same time, they took away two granddaughters, Guo Xiao and Guo Fu personally escorted them. Lin presided over the inner house and took care of Mao Ge'er. Song Jianing and Yun Fang were dressed up early and waited for news honestly.

Shortly after the Grandma and others set off, the King of Chu came first, followed by the Fourth Prince and Princess Duanhui in the palace.

Princess Duanhui left the palace this time and expressed her joy of being moved to the third brother who was stuttering out of her half mother. She mainly wanted to meet her cousin Guo Xiao who had not seen her for many days, so the carriage was parked in front of the Shou Palace. She asked the fourth prince to go in first, and turned her head and ran to the Duke of Wei's mansion. After entering the door, she learned that her good cousin and grandmother were not at home.

"Cousin, let's go and take a walk in the Shou Palace. I've long wanted to go and see it." Yun Fang took Princess Duanhui's hand and couldn't wait to walk out.

Princess Duanhui pouted and asked her disappointedly: "When will grandma and the others come back?"

Yun Fang shook her head: "Grandma didn't say anything, it's probably going to take a while."

Princess Duanhui was thinking about staying in Duke Wei's Mansion for one night. When she walked out of the gate of Duke Wei's Mansion, she suddenly noticed Song Jianing next to Yun Fang. Princess Duanhui became more and more unhappy and frowned and glared at Song Jianing: "What are you doing with me?"

"Of course I'm going to visit the palace. Do you have any control?" Guo Shu pulled his sister behind him, lowered his head and smiled at Princess Duanhui, and he deserved a beating.

Princess Duanhui was angry, but she couldn't find any words to refute.

Song Jianing hid behind his brother and caught a glimpse of Princess Duanhui's angry look. He suddenly felt that the other party was not that scary anymore.

The author has something to say: Zhao Heng: Don’t be afraid, this is my royal palace.

Jianing: Yes!

Zhao Heng: Let's go and follow me into the house.
