Chapter 1107: The Stubborn Stone and the Sun
"Soon, wait until second brother finishes conquering Tianzhu." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said gently, "In less than a year at most, second brother will ensure that Sizi can go to Qiongzhou with Changle and Lanling to reunite with second brother, and take care of Xiao Ruchu for second brother."
"Hehehe... I will definitely take good care of little Ruchu and raise her to be plump and white, even cuter than Sizi when she was little! Second brother, you can rest assured about this." After proudly assuring her second brother of this, Princess Sizi said, "But second brother... are you in Tubo now?"
"Yeah." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was smiling from ear to ear because of his sister's lovely words, nodded and asked curiously, "But how did you know this?"
"I gave Yunchang two large boxes of crystal dragon and phoenix cakes, and then he 'accidentally let it slip' - revealed the news to me." Princess Sizi raised her chin proudly when she heard this: "Second brother, I learned it from you."
"What? You learned it from me..." Before His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu could even marvel at his sister's cleverness, he felt a black pot hit his head with a "clang": "When did my second brother teach you this?"
"But didn't you always like to share the cakes with Yao Ji and Cheng Xin? Look how loyal they are to you now." Seeing that her brother didn't admit it, Princess Sizi immediately frowned and said, "Second brother, don't quibble."
"My second brother didn't have any." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu walked over to his sister, touched her little head, and then said, "That was because my second brother couldn't finish it before..."
"Hmph, second brother, whatever you say is what it is." Princess Sizi turned her head away and said angrily, "I didn't expect... Second brother didn't praise little Sizi..."
"Okay, okay..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu said softly, "Sizi is the smartest. But...Sizi, you must understand that most interactions between people require 'sincerity for sincerity', but when you give your sincerity, you should not ask for anything in your heart. If you ask for something, it is not sincere enough.
The so-called sincere treatment means treating the other person as your own from the bottom of your heart.
For example, Cheng Xin and Yao Ji are loyal to the second brother, not because the second brother gave them a few cakes, but because the second brother treated them as ordinary people.
The same is true for Yun Shang, Zhang Nan, and Hong San who has already retired.
Of course, these topics may be a bit off topic.
Let's get back to the point - about the matter of you sending Yunchang cakes, to be honest, it was only because I was not in Chang'an, otherwise Yunchang would have been punished.
Are you kidding? Those were two boxes of crystal dragon and phoenix cakes personally sent by our little Princess Sizi, and this is the only information we got in return?
If you ask my second brother, after Yunchang accepted the cakes, she didn't swear to you that 'Yunchang will follow Princess Jinyang till death', that was because he was ignorant.
Sizi, don't worry, your second brother will help you cut him down when you get back!" At the end of his speech, His Royal Highness the King of Chu deliberately winked at his sister, indicating that with him in charge, the matter would be successful.
"Haha..." Little Princess Sizi was completely amused by her second brother's words and actions.
At this moment, the little girl stopped quarreling with her brother. She rubbed his arm with her little head, and her tone was full of freedom and happiness: "Second brother, don't be so overbearing.
Yun Shang only heard this little bit of information about you from our father. Could it be that you asked him to make it up?
Besides, I wrote to you, hoping to find out your recent situation through indirect means, but you avoided the question in your letter and…
Humph! Speaking of this, it’s you, the second brother, who is not obedient! "
"I don't want you to worry about me." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed and said, "I am very happy that Sizi misses me, but if Sizi keeps missing me, I will be a little sad."
"We are brother and sister." Sizi said, thought for a moment, and emphasized: "We are the best brother and sister in the world."
"Hahaha, right, right." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded when he heard this: "In this world, second brother will never find a sister more lovely than Sizi."
"Sizi can't find a better brother than the second brother." Princess Sizi smiled and curved her eyebrows when she heard this.
"Well...we have a deep brother-sister relationship here, but have we never considered our eldest brother's feelings?" Seeing that his sister was so cute, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu couldn't help but want to tease her.
"But second brother, didn't you consider the feelings of Sister Changle and Sister Lanling just now?" As a child who grew up under the careful guidance of the King of Chu, Sizi has always had a quick mind.
"That's different." His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head upon hearing this, and began to seriously strengthen his sister: "Sizi is the second brother's most lovely sister, Changle is the second brother's most gentle sister, Lanling is the second brother's most sensible sister——"
"——Second brother!" Princess Sizi was living in Bengbu at the moment: "If you count it this way, you are a scoundrel!"
"Well, second brother is not a scoundrel anymore. Second brother's favorite sister is still our little Sizi." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned his head to take a look at his sister's calligraphy works, and immediately smiled and said, "Great Harmony in the World? Little Sizi, you are so magnanimous."
"Brother, what do you mean by great spirit? It's just that there are fewer strokes." Princess Sizi stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Master Huang is very strict with me."
“You, you…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought for a moment and then said, “When he was teaching my second brother… he was obviously very tolerant.”
"Second brother..." Princess Sizi pursed her lips when she heard that and whispered, "When Master Huang taught us to study hard, he usually used you, Brother Huairen, and Cousin Lingwu as negative examples..."
"I..." King Chu never expected that after so many years, Master Huang still had no intention of letting him go.
“Actually… Second brother…” Looking at her second brother who was suddenly filled with grief and indignation, Princess Sizi suddenly told the truth: “A world of peace is also Sizi’s wish.
Because only when the world is united, you, second brother, will not run around everywhere."
Second brother, Sizi didn’t understand until she grew up how difficult it was for you in the past.” Princess Sizi finished speaking, her bright eyes began to water: “Second brother… why are you so good… but father…”
“Sizi…” Unable to bear letting those bad things affect his sister, His Royal Highness the King of Chu squatted down. He stretched out his hands to hold his sister’s two small hands, and patiently comforted her, “Don’t listen to other people’s rumors, my second brother is fine!
What's more, my second brother has a sizi.
"With Sizi's second brother, he is invincible!"
"Second brother!" Little Sizi, who was coaxed by his second brother's words, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Why do you always like to make me laugh?"
"Nonsense, why would my second brother make you cry instead of laugh?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu gently wiped away the tears from his sister's eyes, and continued to say mischievously: "Of course, if it was a young slave, it would be a different story."
"Second brother...don't worry, I'm not jealous of Zhinu." How could the clever Sizi not understand the second brother's cautiousness? "In the future...there will be many times when he will envy me."
"Yes, yes, that's what we should think." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled when he heard this, but then, looking at his well-behaved sister, he thought that his previous teaching of his sister seemed not to be thorough enough, so he whispered to his sister: "Sizi, in fact, many times, my second brother really wants to talk to you about some principles, but I am worried that if I talk too much, it will become nagging and make you feel bored.
But Sizi, you must listen carefully to what my second brother is going to say next and keep it in mind, okay?"
After hearing what her second brother said, Princess Sizi looked at the sincere gaze from her second brother and nodded solemnly, "Second brother, Sizi will never be bothered by your nagging, and Sizi will definitely remember what you said and will never forget it!"
"Sizi is so obedient..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt relieved.
Then, he slowly said, "Si Zi, there are many people and many things in this world that you cannot get sincerity in return even if you give your sincerity.
Therefore, we must especially cherish the sincerity that can be exchanged for sincerity.
At the same time, don’t feel lost if you get others’ indifference and apathy in return for your sincere efforts - it’s not your fault.
There are always people in this world whose hearts are as hard as stone, but there are also people whose hearts are as bright as the sun. "
"Second brother..." Little Princess Sizi still didn't quite understand why her brother said this to her, but she nodded seriously and said, "Sizi understands. Sizi wants to be like second brother, with a heart as blazing as the sun!"
"Silly Sizi..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed softly, and then smiled gently at his sister: "Didn't my second brother want you to--"
"Who is talking in there?!" Just when His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was halfway through his words, a cold shout suddenly came from outside the study: "Get out of here!"
