The mother of the second prince is just a palace maid who was fortunate to serve by Emperor Zhao's side, and she had a night of dew with Emperor Zhao, and then there was a second prince, but his mother did not have a serious reputation until she died.

Although he is a dragon son, his status is far inferior to that of Chen'an, and even the palace people with a little power in the palace can bully him.

It was the second day after Youhuan and Chen'an celebrated their birthdays, and they were invited into the palace to have fun.

King Rong and Princess Rong were invited to other palaces, and Chen'an and Youhuan were led to the imperial garden to play, accompanied by several princes and princesses of the same age.

The second prince was oppressed by another favored prince at that time, so he became the prince's follower and followed him to the imperial garden.

A group of people played hide and seek there, and the people scattered as ghosts.

The favored prince saw that the second prince was going to hide with him, and kicked him angrily, "Go away, stay away from me, you will let me be caught!" ”

The second prince was kicked and stumbled, and in the imperial garden, he heard that Baili Chen'an was almost ten, but he still didn't know where to hide.

Just when he was at a loss, a small pebble lightly hit him, and when he looked back, a small head poked out from behind a rockery.

Xiao Youhuan tied her bulging bun head, looked over with big eyes, and beckoned to the second prince, "Come here, the dust is all counted!" ”

It just so happened that Chen'an had already counted to ten at that time, and the second prince didn't have time to think about it, so he hid away from Youhuan's side.

"Shhhh

The second prince was a little cramped and said, "This ...... There's no room for two people here, so I'd better get out. ”

You Huan turned her head, glanced at him ignorantly, and then grinned: "It's okay, I told Chen'an to hide here and let him not come." ”

The other people who were hiding were caught by Chen'an one after another, and as Youhuan said, Chen'an didn't come to them in the end.

Relying on cheating, the second prince was taken by Youhuan to lie down and win.

After it was over, Youhuan and Chen'an were led by the palace people to find King Rong and Princess Rong.

Youhuan was led by the palace people, and only took a few steps, and suddenly remembered something, turned back to the second prince and smiled, and beckoned.

It was the first time since the second prince was born that someone was willing to take him to play.

For many years after that, he didn't have the opportunity to see Youhuan again, even if he heard that the county lord of Youhuan and the prince of Chen'an would come to the south courtyard of the palace every day to study, but naturally people like him were not qualified to go to the south courtyard.

He is like a weed in the palace, growing casually and tenaciously, but even fire can't burn his roots.

Later, when Youhuan was fourteen years old, he was admitted to the Weiyang Palace and placed under the knee of the Empress Ye Dynasty. At that time, he already had some power in his hands, at least he could please Emperor Zhao, and he finally had a foothold in the palace.

In and out of the palace, he finally met with Youhuan again.

However, Yu Huan doesn't seem to remember him anymore. And at that time, Xiao Huan was so thin that it seemed that a gust of wind could blow her away.

The smile on his face was no longer the same as before, and he didn't even speak much.

At that time, although he sympathized with Youhuan, he didn't think to help her. At that time, he himself was struggling, and the friendship when he was a child was not enough for him to take risks for the sake of Youhuan.

The palace is a place that eats people, and unless you temper yourself to the point where you are covered with thorns, how can you survive.

"At that time, I always thought you would die in the palace." In the dungeon, the second prince sat cross-legged on the ground in prison clothes, his back slightly arched, his eyes were gaunt blue, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was bleak and sarcastic.

Youhuan squatted at the door of the cell and listened to him quietly.
