The army drillmaster Yu Xiaoxiao (玉小小) [aka “Little Jade”] transmigrated from a zombie apocalypse world into the body of the eldest imperial princess. On her first day, she got hitched to young Gen...

75 The Little Bean in Mingguang Temple

Hearing the crying, Yu Xiaoxiao walked into a dormitory. There was only one candle lit on the candlestick at the head of the bed, illuminating a palm-sized area. Yu Xiaoxiao saw a bulge in the thick satin quilt, and the crying sound came from the quilt.

Walking to the bed and lifting the quilt, Yu Xiaoxiao asked the child curled up in the quilt: "Who bullied you?"

The child was suddenly pulled free of his blanket and was so frightened that he looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao without saying a word.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the little boy. He was not as good-looking as the two meat balls of the Gu family. He looked like a small bean sprout. However, because he was thin and had a small face, his eyes looked big, with tears in his eyes, which looked quite cute. "Why don't you talk?" Yu Xiao: "Are you hungry?"

The little boy wiped his tears and said, "You, are you an assassin?"

Oh my god, Yu Xiaoxiao thinks this kid must have a high IQ. Such a tiny kid knows about the existence of creatures like assassins.

"Are you here to kill me?" the little boy asked.

Yu Xiao: "Just because I'm dressed in black, I'm an assassin? Who are you? Tell me your name."

The little boy was only three or four years old. He thought about Yu Xiaoxiao's words for a long time before he said, "My name is Yu Ziming, and I am the Sixth Prince."

What the hell!

This is Concubine Zhao’s biological son!

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the little kid in front of her with a blank expression. In order to make it impossible for Concubine Zhao to recover, should she strangle this little kid to death? Or should she strangle him to death?

"If you want to kill me, then go ahead," said the Sixth Prince Yu Ziming, who was three and a half years old this year but spoke more clearly than Gu Jin, a four-year-old lump of flesh, to Yu Xiao, "Anyway, my mother, my mother doesn't want me anymore."

Seeing Douding talking to her with an expression of being ready to die, Yu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, what the hell, Concubine Zhao’s son has already learned to be ready to die!

"Assassin," Yu Ziming said, "Can you, can you be quicker? I don't want to get hurt."

Yu Xiaoxiao bent her fingers and knocked on Douding's forehead. She didn't dare to use too much force, fearing that she would knock a hole in Douding's head. "What assassin? I'm your sister," Yu Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Don't you know me?"

Yu Ziming climbed up from the bed and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao carefully in the candlelight.

Yu Xiao: "No need to look, I really am your sister. If I were an assassin, I would have killed you long ago. Why would I sit here and talk nonsense with you?"

Yu Ziming said: "Big sister?"

"Well," Yu Xiao: "If I'm not your sister, how can I enter the palace? Tell me, why are you crying?"

Yu Xiaoxiao's words were believed by Yu Ziming. Ordinary people could not enter the imperial palace. With a pout, the Sixth Prince said sadly, "I'm leaving."

"Oh," Yu Xiao: "I know this, you are going to kill the sun."

"Mother doesn't want me anymore," Yu Ziming cried.

Thinking of the two maids sleeping outside like dead pigs, Yu Xiaoxiao frowned. Douding's eyes were red from crying. No one came in to see him after he had been crying for half a day. It was obvious that the nanny was slacking off. Little Douding hadn't even left yet, and Concubine Zhao was already not going to care about her son's life or death?

"I heard, I heard what Madam said," Yu Ziming pointed at his finger and told his sister, "Mother will give birth to a younger brother in the future. Mother doesn't want me anymore."

Yu Xiaoxiao groaned. Is it so easy for a woman to give birth? How come Concubine Zhao has been with the tyrant for so many years and only gave birth to a son? Is this woman actually stupid?

"I don't want to leave," Yu Ziming muttered to Yu Xiaoxiao like a mosquito.

If this were a kindhearted human being, he would feel guilty, after all, the one who was supposed to suffer this was Yu Ziyi, not Yu Ziming. Yu Xiaoxiao was not a bad person, but she was definitely not soft-hearted. She was very open-minded. After all, there had to be a prince to be sent to Zhuri as a hostage. She sympathized with this little kid in front of her, but who would have sympathized with Yu Ziyi before? Besides, it would be better to stay away from the tyrant Emperor Xianzong and the bitch Concubine Zhao. Maybe if Yu Ziming went to Zhuri, he could grow up to be a promising young man.

"There's nothing wrong with going to Zhuri," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Yu Ziming.

Tears welled up in the Sixth Prince's big eyes again.

"Anyway, your mother, I mean, is planning to have another child. She already has a son, so how can she care about you?" Yu Xiaoxiao tried to discredit Concubine Zhao, saying, "Our country is in a bad state right now. If you go to Zhuri and study hard, and come back with skills, and make our country stronger, wouldn't that be great?"

The three-and-a-half-year-old kid didn't quite understand what Yu Xiaoxiao said, but he vaguely felt that going on a long journey wasn't a bad thing.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.

"But, but I went to Zhuri, alone, and didn't know anyone there. Can I still go home?" Yu Ziming stuttered to Yu Xiao.

"I'll pick you up," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Yu Ziming and said, "I never lie to children."

"when?"

"Well... wait until you grow up."

Yu Ziming had never thought about when people would grow up. It was only after getting the assurance from his eldest sister that the Sixth Prince felt that he was not so helpless anymore.

"Jing Mo is in the city," Yu Xiaoxiao found some clothes for Yu Ziming and let the little kid dress himself, saying, "You know him, so you already have an acquaintance in Zhuri. How about this, I'll take you to see Jing Mo."

Yu Ziming didn't know how to put on clothes, but he became very excited and said, "Big Sister wants to take me out of the palace?"

Yu Xiaoxiao hurriedly put clothes on Yu Ziming and nodded, "I don't know when Jing Mo will leave, so I'll take you out of the palace today. Are you scared?"

Yu Ziming was almost crazy with joy at being able to follow his eldest sister out of the palace. He nodded repeatedly, and a smile could be seen on his little face.

Yu Xiaoxiao pinched Yu Ziming's small body. This kid took after his mother's body, so he would never be strong in this life. As for this courage, Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't think of who this kid looked like. When he suddenly saw her, he was stunned for a moment, without crying. When he heard that he was leaving the palace, he was as happy as if it was New Year's Day. This kid was really foolish and bold.

With Yu Ziming in hand, Yu Xiaoxiao came and went freely in the imperial palace and ran to Deyi Winery carrying Yu Ziming.

In the Mingguang Palace, without its owner, everything remained the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

Jing Mo was working hard on a young woman on the bed. The woman was a girl a moment ago, but now she was a woman. Although her body was in unbearable pain, she still remembered to smile at the eldest prince. The more charming the smile, the better, because the eldest prince only liked to see the woman under him smile.

When Yu Xiaoxiao arrived outside the Deyi Winery, Jing Mo was already satisfied. He turned over and lay down beside the woman, saying, "You don't have to leave. Stay with me for one night."
