Chapter 493: Chapter 268 Prince Chu_2
Dou Le hurriedly bowed to the Fourth Prince and Zhao Yao.
His expression and tone of voice were very amusing, making people want to laugh.
Upon seeing Dou Le in person, Zhao Yao finally understood why he had this name. It was truly a perfect match for him.
"Tenth Brother, after I leave, you can go to Dou Le if you need anything in the future."
"Tenth Highness, feel free to order me if you need anything in the future. I will do my utmost to help you."
Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Then I’m counting on you."
Dou Le looked flattered and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Tenth Highness, you’re too kind. It is my honor to help you."
Then, the Fourth Prince instructed Dou Le on a few more matters.
After listening, Dou Le finally left Xingde Palace.
After Dou Le left, the Fourth Prince also gave Zhao Yao a lot of instructions.
Zhao Yao pretended to be listening in a daze. If he remembered everything, it wouldn’t fit his character.
The Fourth Prince also guessed that Zhao Yao couldn’t possibly remember his words all at once, so he considerately wrote it down.
Zhao Yao looked at the book the Fourth Prince handed him – yes, it was a book. The Fourth Prince wrote down everything he wanted to convey in the book.
"Fourth Brother, do I make you worry that much?" An entire book, Fourth Brother, you really are...
"You do make me quite uneasy." The Fourth Prince patted the book in Zhao Yao’s arms, "Read it carefully, don’t forget."
"Fourth Brother, I will read it carefully." Zhao Yao casually flipped through it and found that the Fourth Prince had written it very thoroughly. No, it should be described as meticulous.
Fourth Brother really doesn’t trust him!
Fourth Brother indeed worries himself sick over him!
Fourth Brother is truly considerate!
"Fourth Brother, if you don’t trust me, why don’t you take me with you?" Zhao Yao thought this was a great idea and said with sparkling eyes, "I can go with you to your fief, that way I won’t have to be separated from you."
"I would like to take you with me, but unfortunately, Father won’t allow it." If possible, the Fourth Prince really wanted to have Zhao Yao by his side to take care of him, wishing Zhao Yao would never leave him. "However, when you grow up a bit, you can come to my fief to visit me. I think Father would agree then."
"That’s a great idea." Zhao Yao said excitedly, "At that time, Fourth Brother, you can tell Father, he will surely agree." Great, he could visit Fourth Brother’s fief before being crowned a king at adulthood.
"Okay, I’ll bring it up with Father then." After saying this, the Fourth Prince hugged Zhao Yao tightly.
Zhao Yao stretched out his arms to embrace the Fourth Prince, rubbing his forehead against the Fourth Prince’s face.
"Fourth Brother, I hate to see you go."
"You can write to me."
"I will definitely write to you, every day."
"Good..."
After chatting with Zhao Yao for a while, the Fourth Prince asked Tong Xi to take Zhao Yao back to Kunde Hall, as he had other matters to attend and couldn’t keep Zhao Yao.
After Zhao Yao left, the Fourth Prince went out with Wei Mian.
Shortly after Wei Mian left the Fourth Prince, the Eighth Prince came along with Yu Hai.
This was a relatively secluded place in Xingde Palace, known only to the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince, unknown to others.
Yu Hai and Wei Mian tactically stepped back to keep watch for the Fourth and Eighth Princes.
The Fourth Prince disliked the Eighth Prince, and whenever he saw him, he never showed a good expression, as was the case now.
"After I leave, the Tenth Brother is in your hands."
The Eighth Prince didn’t like the Fourth Prince either. Every time he saw the Fourth Prince’s cold face, he felt annoyed.
"You don’t need to say that."
Were it not for Zhao Yao, the Fourth Prince would never have approached the Eighth Prince.
"If you don’t protect the Tenth Brother well, don’t blame me for being ruthless then."
"As long as you leave, the Tenth Brother will be safe." The Eighth Prince said in a hostile tone, "Once you’re gone, there will be no danger around the Tenth Brother."
The Fourth Prince ignored the Eighth Prince’s words. His sharp eyes glared at the Eighth Prince, his tone filled with warning: "As long as the Tenth Brother lives, you live. If he dies, you die!"
The Eighth Prince wasn’t angry after hearing this from the Fourth Prince. However, he still didn’t show a good face to the Fourth Prince.
"After you leave, you don’t need to worry about the Tenth Brother’s safety."
After saying this, the Fourth Prince turned and left.
The Eighth Prince also turned and left.
The only thing they could discuss together was Zhao Yao. After discussing Zhao Yao, they had nothing more to say.
The following day was the Fourth Prince’s birthday.
With Princess Consort Li as his mother, the Fourth Prince didn’t need Lady Liang to make longevity noodles for him. However, this year’s birthday, Princess Consort Li didn’t need to personally cook longevity noodles for the Fourth Prince.
