Since his first day came, Li Huanran had always followed his little brother. Wherever Li An went, there must be Li Huanran beside him. The ladies got to gossip about it. They thought that Li An would soon be brought back to the Eternal Happiness Palace with the Third Princess as her guardian replacing Consort Hien, the Eighth Prince's birth mother and Consort Ai, her foster mother.
Li Mei was annoyed to hear that. Li Roulan pretended not to care because he was still annoyed at Li An. Li Xiulan did not react to anything, whereas Li Chen was still trying to understand. When the boy understood, he immediately confirmed it to Li An.
“Where might I go to that horrible place?!” Li An was startled himself when asked by the youngest. He also grumbled long, stating his reasons for rejecting it outright. He deliberately said it out loud in front of Li Huanran for the girl to understand..
The Third Princess also covered half her face with a red fan embroidered with a hundred gold. His favorite thing left behind only reached Prince Zhizhe's Palace yesterday. He hides his serious expression, but his narrowed eyes are getting narrower when thinking in making him still a little visible in the eyes of the observant. His task became increasingly heavy with Li An's grunts. At any rate, he should be able to bring Li An back before Emperor Yung Wei, his father.
“Kakak An won't go right?” Li Chen confirmed his conclusion.
“Hm, anyway I am not going there!” firmly Li An steady. Li Chen immediately cheered happily. He was able to continue his ambition to defeat the Eighth Rooster. The youngest boy ran to report it to the princesses of Prince Zhzhheel and the gossiping ladies. He forced anyone to believe because the news came directly from Li An himself.
Li Mei was as happy as her sister when she heard the news. Li Roulan somehow became annoyed, whereas Li Xiulan only squinted a thin smile. Madam Lu and Madam Chu could only chuckle at the reaction of her children.
“They all love you, yes,” said Li Huanran with a soft thread of his tone. As an intelligent princess, she prefers suggestion and the path of peace. The ayu girl also clenched her fan, “If I were you, I wouldn't want to leave here either.”
“Tuh know,” reply Li An short. He remained focused on the books and scrolls. His face is cold. It is not suitable with children his age who should have a lot of expression and expressing feelings. Li Huanran sighed incensed whenever he thought of that.
“What are you afraid of in the palace?” asked Li Huanran to investigate. He had to have more imformation to deal with the boy's problem. If he could overcome his sister's fears, he could definitely carry out his mission.
“Everything, let alone Big Brother,” said Li An ketus. He was still very upset with the Third Princess. The boy felt lost in the privacy space ever since Li Huanran came. What a troublesome girl.
“Wicked .. when I'm beautiful like this. Why don't you run away if you're afraid of me?” reply Li Huanran coldly. He's back to developing his fan. His hands were anxious to pinch the adult-looking boy.
“The evil sister. Why do you keep following me?” Li An closed the book. He was tired of this confusion. His eyes were against Li Huanran's. Both of them were equally cold as if there were two opposing wind storms.
“Hais, we are half-brothers. When can I not come with you?” Li Huanran smiled behind his fan. He was trying to disturb his sister now. It must have been really exciting to see that boy's annoyed expression. As long as he can control things, things like yesterday will never happen again. After all, he had already increasingly understood Li An's character.
“Bigger!” snapped at Li An who then left his reading room in the Small Archive Pagoda. Li Huanran followed behind. As he rose, his ladies got up and prepared in another room. This was what made Li An even more disturbed.
“Kakak can go no anyway?” Li An stopped in front of the Small Archive Pagoda. He's very upset now. Her tiny hands clenched tightly. Li Huanran looked coldly. He really wanted to escape from them. However, every time he got a hiding place, there would definitely be a ladyboy who soon found him. Their spread frustrated Li An.
“Could be,” Li Huanran chuckles under his fan. To him, the little boy looked like an angry little cat. Very cute and adorable. At any rate, he had to bring the Eighth Prince back to the Eternal Happiness Palace. Li Huanran also mentioned his condition that he release Li An goods a day, “Call me first Ayunda Huanran or Ayunda An. Let's call the right one. I'll go deh.”
“Hmph!” Li An immediately turned away upon hearing his terms. He didn't want to do that at all. His grip was greater than the frustration he felt. In fact, the prestige was completely useless to him.
“Kakak An .. Brother An ...,” call Li Chen so golden opportunity for Li An. The boy would definitely take her to leave the books in the Little Archive Pagoda and play. Usually, he will reject the youngest's invitation raw. However, since he could not concentrate on Li Huanran, this became the best blurred option now.
“Kakak Huanran, Big Brother Huanran,” a little girl tugging at Li Huanran's bright dress. The girl's voice was very soft, but it could still be heard. That girl was Li Xiulan. He wanted to have the Third Princess chat somewhere with Li Roulan.
Li An immediately pulled Li Chen running. Inwardly, she thanked Li Xiulan who had distracted her brother. So that the annoying ladies could not reach him, he also invited Li Chen to climb the stone fence. With his basic martial skills, he could do that despite having to bother. Especially the little Li Chen.
A lady-in-waiting shouted loudly when he saw the two princes were at the top of the fence. He immediately asked the guards to drop them off. However, before the guard came, Li An and Li Chen first jumped to the other side of the wall and continued running. They laughed out loud as they got through the challenge.
“Let's hide before we get caught,” said Li An as he continued running. The laughter remains. He didn't think playing could be this fun. Li Chen was the same. He felt this hide-and-seek game became more fun.
They also stopped when they started to get tired. Both are heavy. Li An tried to catch his breath, while Li Chen immediately sat on the green grassy ground. They need to rest before they play.
“Prince An, Prince Chen, apparently the two of you are here,” a heavy voice made Li An and Li Chen so shocked that he shouted loudly. If only their energy was still left, they would have run away now.
“Uncle Guang why is it here? Uncle friend or foe?” Li Chen shouted in a crisp voice while pointing as if there was a sword in his hand. Li An breathed a sigh of relief. As long as that person wasn't Li Huanran's lady-in-waiting, he definitely wasn't on their side.
“Ah, sorry to have taken you both by surprise, Prince,” Ma Guang raised both hands, signaling his submission to Li Chen and Li An. He had heard news about rumors of hide and seek game since yesterday. So, he thought the game was still going on until now. “I'll be on your side.”
“Good! Follow my orders from now on,” said Li Chen who now takes the role of pretending to be a captain. Li An laughed amusedly at her. Ma Guang who had been dragged into this game only smiled understandably.
“Let's go up to a high place! We have to hunt for as much information as possible,” exclaimed Li Chen who then immediately ran to the perch of a four-story building not far from there. Li An and Ma Guang exchanged glances. They finally followed the youngest who was dissolved in his role.
“Uncle Guang, report the situation,” whispered Li Chen softly, but it sounded clear in the ears of the tall soldier.
“The situation is safe sentosa, Prince. We can enjoy the view from here,” Ma Guang replied seriously. He still does not really understand the rules of this palace hide and seek game. So, he did not yet know which enemy Li Chen was referring to.
“How about my brother?” li An asked while remaining focused on observing the movements of her brother's team. He was dragged into the seriousness of Li Chen's role. The tension is so strong because of the behavior of the youngest.
“You mean Third Princess?” Ma Guang made sure.
“Hm,” nod Li An without turning his head. Ma guang also reported, “Last time I saw, Third Princess is chatting with Princess Roulan and Princess Xiulan. Looks like he's talking about something serious.”
“Honey-dangya?” li An. He could not leave before he knew their status.
“What do you mean?” Ma Guang did not understand the direction of Li An's question.
“Forget!” Li An got a brilliant idea, “Chen’er, let's create a defense base.”
“Base?” Li Chen did not understand. Ma Guang explained so that Li Chen agreed immediately after that. “Where do we make it?”
“Small Archive Pagoda,” proposal Li An. From the beginning, the goal was to return to that place. He wants to read his books again soon. Therefore, before Li Chen protested, he said, “We should gather and analyze the information as best we can. There was no place more suitable than the Small Archive Pagoda. The place is quiet and quiet.”
Li Chen agreed. He asked Ma Guang to take them to the Small Archive Pagoda. If together with the big and tall soldiers, surely no one would dare to chase and harass them. It's the perfect plan.
“Chen’er! An’er! Also meet you!” li Mei's loud clash shocked Li An and Li Chen. They immediately hid behind Ma Guang so shocked. It turned out that Li Chen's guess was wrong. There was still an incomparable Li Mei in the Prince Zhizhene Palace. Once he knew, surely they would be dragged to a tiring place for sword arts training.
“Uncle Guang, give us time. Stop Brother Mei! We will make a defense in the Small Archive Pagoda,” Li Chen ran while leaking the location of his headquarters. Li An patted the forehead due to the carelessness of the boy. He ran before Li Mei caught him.
“Pa, Prince ...,” Ma Guang stunned.
“Uncle Guang, move! I'll go after them,” Li Mei's word that makes Ma Guang unable to dwell. After all, he could not fight against his master's children, let alone his famous energetic and tomboyish eldest daughter.
“Chen’er! An’er! Watch out if you don't stop now,” shouted Li Mei threateningly. The shout made the adrenaline of Li An and Li Chen rush. They also ran faster as if being chased by a fierce tiger. If they were a little late, they would be dragged to the match practice after this.
“Chen’er, let's hurry. Don't let Sister Mei catch us,” Li An ran ahead of the youngest. He ran beyond his limits until he was tripped by a rock in the garden. His body hit hard on the grass.
“Aduh!” Li An lay on the ground with a breath of excitement. Her body was all sick, but she tried to suppress all that pain so as not to cry. Tight chest. His eyes were tightly closed.His hands were shaking violently. His fingers clenched tightly, enduring the growing pain.
“An’er,” an anxious call sounded in Li An's ear before he cried. He then sobbed with tears pouring out. His sight was blurred by the water. His body was immediately lifted by someone. He was carried out somewhere.
“Basic An’er sloppy!” snapped Li Mei as Li An's cries began to subside, “Why did you run when I called, huh?”
Li An threw a face and refused to answer. The poor prince did not dare to face each other face to face with his sisters. He was ashamed to admit his mistake today. His face was dull with a sullen look.
“Already, Mei’er. An’er is still sick. Don't you get angry again,” Li Huanran revealed the tension that occurred. Instead of stopping, Li Mei instead shifted her frustration, “This is also the fault of Brother. If brother does not come, An’er will not fall.”
“Eh? I didn't do anything. When An’er fell, I just talked with the twins. Not that you are playing catch-up with them,” reply Li Huanran casually. The two princesses blamed each other. Li An was disturbed by it.
“You guys are noisy! Brother An is being disturbed. Storm out there!” drive Li Chen out.
“True Chen’er. Better Big Brother Huanran and Big Brother Mei settle this matter outside,” Li Roulan support the youngest. Li Xiulan nodded softly in agreement. He said in a soft voice, “Let us take care of him.”
Li Huanran and Li Mei wanted to protest with the expulsion. However, before they could reveal a single word, Madam Lu first entered and told them to come out. That woman will take care of Li An.
“Rapidly healed, An’er” said Li Xiulan who came out last. His voice was soft and barely audible, but Li An still nodded and accepted it as sincerely as he could.
