Chapter 119 The Little Prince is Taking Advantage of the Situation
"Third brother, you choose the one you like first." The little prince looked at him seriously, his tone firm and sincere.
At this time, the third prince felt a warm current in his heart. He had never thought that his younger brother would care about and love him so much. This friendship made him feel extremely warm, and he was even a little excited and speechless.
"It's okay, let's look at it together," the third prince replied gently. Facing the dazzling array of treasures in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There are so many things, even if you look at them all day, you can't finish looking at them. So, he suggested that the two of them choose together, so that they can share the fun and refer to each other's opinions. In fact, if it is something that the sixth brother likes, he will give it to his younger brother without hesitation. After all, for him, the relationship between brothers is more precious than any treasure.
[Could it be that he saw that I had such an idea, so he let me choose first?] The Third Prince speculated in his heart, and was deeply moved by his brother's attentiveness and thoughtfulness. He felt that he was so lucky to have such a caring brother. However, he didn't know that what happened next would make him drop his jaw, and even swear that he would never come to Emperor Xuanyuan's private storehouse with the little prince again next time. Because this experience will become the most unforgettable memory of their lives.
Deep inside the magnificent palace, the door to Emperor Xuanyuan's private vault slowly opened, as if unveiling a mysterious chapter. The young crown prince Xuanyuan Ruize and the third prince stepped into this legendary private vault together. The air around them seemed to be filled with the weight of history and the brilliance of treasures. Every item carried the traces of time and exuded a unique charm. They seemed to be in a dreamlike world, surrounded by endless wealth and rare objects.
In the private vault, there were all kinds of rare treasures, dazzling gems, jades emitting mysterious light, and ancient and precious scrolls of calligraphy and painting. The third prince walked slowly in this vast ocean of treasures, his eyes calm and focused.
Finally, he stopped, reached out and picked up two things, one was a simple and elegant jade pendant, and the other was a yellowed ancient book.
The young prince looked at the items in the Third Prince's hand, his face full of confusion and surprise. "Third brother, are you sure you want these two? You don't want anything else?" Xuanyuan Ruize's voice was filled with uncertainty and curiosity. He really couldn't understand why his Third Brother only chose these two seemingly ordinary items among so many priceless treasures.
The third prince smiled slightly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes: "Sixth brother, although these treasures are precious, to me, they are just external things. And this ancient book and this jade pendant are indeed different..."
The little prince couldn't help but be moved, looking at the tears flashing in the eyes of the third brother, it seemed that there were many stories behind these two things. Find an opportunity to ask around, everyone has something that they cherish most in their heart.
“Third brother…” the little prince said softly, “I understand. You made a good choice.”
The Third Prince patted the Little Prince's shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding, Sixth Brother."
He gently stroked the jade pendant and ancient books in his hands, as if feeling the stories and emotions they carried.
The little prince was still full of doubts, but seeing the determined look on his third brother's face, he stopped asking questions.
"I just want these two, sixth brother, please choose quickly! I will go to your East Palace for dinner later." The third prince's words broke the brief silence.
The little prince came back to his senses, his face filled with joy. The sunlight poured in through the window of the private storehouse, as if covering this mysterious space with a layer of golden coat, adding a touch of warm color.
"Xiao Dezi, hurry up, call 30 people to come in and pack up!" The little prince shouted excitedly. After he determined what the third prince didn't want, he couldn't wait to start his plan.
Xuanyuan Siqi, who was standing at the side, opened his eyes wide with a look of astonishment. He muttered to himself, "Is this Sixth Brother crazy?" His mouth trembled slightly, and even speaking became difficult.
Xuanyuan Siqi calmed himself down, took a few steps forward, and grabbed the little prince's sleeve. His eyes were full of worry and uneasiness, as if saying, "It's inappropriate for you to do this." However, the little prince answered confidently, "Didn't the emperor tell us to choose what we like? These are all what I like!"
"But...but..." Xuanyuan Siqi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute Xuanyuan Ruize's words. He felt helpless, but could not find a suitable reason to stop the little prince's behavior.
"Don't worry, Third Brother. If you like anything else, take it too," the little prince said generously, as if everything here belonged to him.
Actually, it is not wrong to say so. After all, these things are indeed his now.
In this way, the Third Prince watched the little prince's people going back and forth, in and out for a long time, and was very busy.
When they left, Emperor Xuanyuan's private vault had been emptied.
The warehouse that was once full of goods became empty, with only some dust and debris left.
This scene made the third prince sigh that the little prince's ability to act was truly amazing!
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, wondering if he should also take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits.
But when he thought of the little prince's righteous look, he decided to give it up.
He did not have the confidence like his sixth brother to face the angry Emperor Xuanyuan. At this moment, he even felt that the two things he had chosen were a little hot. He was reluctant to put them back.
In the East Palace not far away, the palace servants have already started busy preparing a sumptuous meal. This was what the little prince had ordered early in the morning. He was very happy today and got so many treasures from his father. I wonder how much it would be if it were converted into money!
The third prince did not return the things in the end, but took the treasures he had chosen back to his mansion, and no longer thought about the delicious food in the East Palace.
All the way, he was thinking about how to explain to Emperor Xuanyuan, and he became more and more uneasy.
At the same time, the little prince was enjoying the food in the East Palace. He had no idea that he had offended Emperor Xuanyuan, but he might have known it and still did it, anyway, he was still immersed in the joy of getting the treasure.
