The elders in the palace often say that the fifth prince is a special case in the palace. He has a character that does not compete with others, and he can be regarded as a rare talent.

However, in Li Yuntian's view, the fifth prince Li Fengke was just a coward.

His mother-in-law was a well-known jealous woman in the palace. She had endless quarrels with her father all day long, and even used bamboo whips and canes to physically punish Li Fengke for a long time.

After being discovered by his father, he was worried that the fifth prince would suffer such pain at a young age, so he asked Li Fengke to adopt the name of the late empress, while his biological mother, Concubine Wan, was relegated to the cold palace.

However, Li Yuntian turned around and thought, when he wanted to bully the fifth prince, Li Yunxing often got in the way.

It was said that he was the adopted son of the late empress, that is, his biological brother. This made Li Yuntian very angry when he was young.

So what about the queen, they are all the sons of Emperor Wu.

How come the fifth prince, a fool, gets better treatment than him?

The fifth prince usually didn't go out, so it would be difficult for Li Yuntian to cause trouble for him.

Now that it was delivered to him, there was no way he could simply let it go!

Thinking of this, Li Yuntian turned around and walked towards the Royal Garden.

Li Fengke, on the other hand, was very serious about carving, and he didn't even notice anyone approaching.

Until Li Yuntian suddenly jumped out from behind on purpose, startling him and saying, "Hey!"

This time, Li Fengke was really frightened. With a shake of his hand, he not only distorted the petals, but also made a cut with his thumb.

Li Fengke frowned in pain, but still gritted his teeth and persisted.

He quickly changed the wooden sculpture to his right hand, fearing that the blood would spatter on the wooden sculpture and leave traces.

"Tsk, it's really boring!" Li Yuntian shook his head when he saw this, "I said fifth brother, what's the point of playing with these wood carvings all day long?"

Only then did Li Fengke turn around and look at Li Yuntian.

When he saw the second prince, Li Fengke shrank back like a frightened rabbit.

"See... see second brother." Li Fengke's attitude was a little timid, even vaguely fearful.

Li Yuntian's heart was racing with thoughts, a faint smile on his face.

"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you? Are you afraid of me?" Li Yuntian walked slowly to Li Fengke, squatted down, reached out and patted Li Fengke's shoulder.

"No...no, my brother is just...just..." Li Fengke was incoherent and didn't know how to say it properly.

Li Yuntian snorted lightly when he saw this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Fengke, "Between you and me, brothers, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly without covering it up!"

He had long been disgusted with Li Fengke's cowardly appearance.

Li Fengke didn't know how he made this living king of hell unhappy, so he could only say again and again, "Second brother, I'm just here to carve in the shape of flowers."

Li Yuntian glanced at the peony and said, "That peony looks very beautiful. I've seen quite a few of them before."

Li Fengke did not reply. He was still not good at getting along with the second prince.

"Haha..." Li Yuntian didn't bother to look for trouble.

He stood up and walked forward, but "accidentally" trampled the most beautiful peony flower.

"Hiss——" Li Fengke couldn't help but take a breath.

"Fifth brother, don't worry too much. I didn't pay attention to my steps just now and accidentally crushed this peony." Li Yuntian explained.

Li Fengke shook his head quickly. Even if he said he did it on purpose, Li Fengke would not dare to say anything.

He is indeed a loser.

Li Yuntian stood up with a displeased look on his face, "In that case, the emperor will leave first if he has something else to do."

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

Looking at the retreating figure, Li Fengke sighed.

That is the Royal Yellow Peony that the Queen Mother likes the most. Although the Queen Mother likes it because the peony is the leader among flowers, and this Royal Yellow Peony has a golden color that can only be used by the emperor.

However, the queen mother has been locked up in the cold palace for many years, and I am afraid she has never seen such a beautiful peony again.

That's why Li Fengke wanted to come to the Imperial Garden and carve the beauty of the flowers on the wood carvings so that his mother could see the peonies in bloom.

Thinking like this, I can only carve out the image in my impression, and my mother will not blame her.

With this in mind, Li Fengke walked to the Leng Palace with a wooden sculpture of peonies.

The Cold Palace is indeed the most bleak place in the entire palace, with every plant and tree looking barren and withered.

There are forbidden troops guarding the outside of the Cold Palace, and Li Fengke must not enter.

However, as long as you have money, some things can be accomplished.

Li Fengke took out a piece of silver from his pocket, which was almost half a month's worth of money.

It was left in the hands of the guards who guarded it, and the guards also knew the rules.

After getting the money and weighing it, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling very satisfied.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, what are you going to send to Concubine Wan this time?"

Even if he gave money, Li Fengke couldn't go in.

However, they can still help deliver small things for daily delivery.

"This." Li Fengke handed the wooden peony flower in his hand to the guard.

Seeing this, the imperial guard sighed unconsciously, wondering whether the fifth prince was stupid or too persistent.

Every time the wood carvings were thrown out by the people inside, Li Fengke had to spend money to send them inside.

"Fifth Prince, are you sure you want to give this as a gift?"

Because the fifth prince had fallen out of favor for a long time, even the imperial army was indifferent to him.

Li Fengke had a complicated expression and nodded.

The Imperial Guard sighed, took the wooden peonies, and then opened the door of Leng Palace.

Li Fengke wanted to check whether his biological mother was living comfortably in this cold palace while opening the door.

The Imperial Guards would not give him this opportunity, leaving only a gap for one person to enter, and then quickly closed the door.

About half the time it takes to burn incense has passed. Li Fengke is very familiar with this time. It is about the time when the imperial army walks from the door to the inner courtyard.

Then came the familiar scream again, "Get out! Let him get out!"

Then the sound of armor came from far and near, and the door was opened again.

After the guard came out, he closed the door again. This time Li Fengke seemed to see her biological mother through the gap.

His expression was ferocious, his face was haggard, and even his hair was a mess.

"Fifth Prince, the things have been delivered. You have also seen the result."

Li Fengke nodded, he should have expected this.

Mother likes a son who can compete for the throne, not a son who likes wood carving.

But he knows nothing about politics, and he has no interest in fighting for power and gain.

But after all, she was his biological mother, and her mother had the gift of giving birth. Everything was caused by his cowardice.

"Mother, the peonies in the Royal Garden are blooming, so I thought of carving a wooden sculpture for you to see. I will come to see you another day." The fifth prince bowed towards the gate.

After walking a few steps, something was thrown out of the courtyard and hit the fifth prince on the head.
