When the palace school ends

The four little ones, who were being punished by standing, finally got to see Xiaoxi'er.

Where did you go today?

"Sister Yan'er, I'm going to Guo Guo's place now."

Upon seeing Xiaoxi'er's sugar cigarettes, they immediately questioned where Xiaoxi'er had gone.

"Hmph, and then you just forgot about me?"

No.

"Hmph, Xiao Zhi, let's go."

"Goodbye, Sister Yan'er and Sister Xiaozhi."

As she spoke, Bai Tangyan pulled Bai Tangyan away, and upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, she contradicted Xiao Xi'er.

"Who wants to say goodbye to you? Xiaozhi, you're not allowed to say it either. Let's go."

As she was speaking, Bai Tangyan saw Bai Tangzhi preparing to say goodbye to Xiao Xi'er, and directly stopped Bai Tangzhi from speaking.

"Little Xi'er, Yan'er and I are leaving. Don't take what Yan'er said to heart."

"She's here specifically to wait for you... she's saying one thing but meaning another."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Tangyan grabbed him and pulled him away quickly.

Xiao Xi'er and the others, who were standing still, could still hear Bai Tangyan's words.

"Who's lying? Who waited for her on purpose? Xiaozhi, you're just talking nonsense."

"Yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense."

"So, did Sister Yan'er wait specifically for me to say goodbye to her?"

Xiao Xi looked at the three people behind her with a question in her eyes.

"I don't know, but I waited for you especially for that."

Fang Zixu, who spoke first, grinned and looked at Xiao Xi'er.

"The sugar cigarettes were specially prepared for you."

At this moment, Wei Yuanxuan looked at Bai Tangyan, who had already walked away, and spoke to Xiao Xi'er.

"Oh, so is Sister Yan'er the one who says one thing but means another, just like Sister Xiaozhi said?"

"Yes, right, sister?"

"Mmm, oh... Daddy~ you're here!"

"Um"

"I'm leaving now, bye-bye~"

As Xiao Xi'er spoke, she said goodbye to Qin Jingke and the others, then ran to Qin Jue and hugged his leg.

Qin Jue then simply picked up Xiao Xi'er.

After holding Xiao Xi'er, Qin Jue left the palace school and headed towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Daddy~ Guess where I went to school today?"

"Oh? Father doesn't know? Little Xi'er, please tell Father."

"Father, you're so stupid, you don't even know this?"

Qin Jue smiled helplessly at Xiao Xi'er, "Yes, Daddy isn't as smart as Xiao Xi'er. Xiao Xi'er, tell Daddy!"

"Alright then."

"I had class with my boyfriend today~"

"It's the first pot and the second pot!"

"Let Daddy guess, is Little Xi'er listening to Grand Tutor Zhang and Junior Tutor Ma's lectures in Class Geng?"

Wow—Daddy, you're so amazing!

Qin Jue smiled indulgently at Xiao Xi'er, then picked her up and left.

After dinner, Qin Jue carried Xiao Xi'er to the Imperial Garden, where he encountered Wei Linglong.

"Daddy, look! There are so many stars in the sky!"

Wow, those stars are so bright!

"Princess, those are the Big Dipper."

"Who are you?"

Xiao Xi'er originally wanted to talk to Qin Jue, but unexpectedly someone appeared out of nowhere.

"Princess, I am Consort Gan."

"Oh, I've never heard of it."

When Wei Linglong heard Xiao Xi'er say "oh," she thought Xiao Xi'er knew her, but when she heard the second half of Xiao Xi'er's sentence, her face turned green.

"puff--"

Qin Jue laughed when he heard Xiao Xi'er speak, and Wei Linglong's face turned green upon hearing Qin Jue's laughter.

"Your Majesty~"

"Your Highness Consort Yan, His Majesty has just finished his meal."

Hearing Wei Linglong's disgusting voice, Qin Jue almost couldn't resist slapping her away, but Sanhezi, seeing Qin Jue's expression, immediately said something to Wei Linglong.

This sentence successfully made Wei Linglong lose her composure, after all, Sanhezi's words meant, "His Majesty just finished eating, don't listen to Consort Jun's words and make His Majesty vomit."

"Your Majesty, look at the Third Eunuch!"

"If you can't speak properly, then get out."

Upon hearing Wei Linglong's words again, Qin Jue immediately picked up Xiao Xi'er and walked past Wei Linglong.

Hearing Qin Jue's words, Wei Linglong had no choice but to speak politely.

"Your Majesty, these are pastries I made, which I was just about to deliver to Your Majesty's palace. I didn't expect Your Majesty to come here. It seems that Your Majesty and I are truly of one mind!"

"I only have a telepathic connection with my daughter, don't you think so, little Xi'er?"

"Yes! Who are you? I'm the only one who shares a telepathic connection with Father!!!"

"If you try to take Daddy from me, I'll have the cat bite you to death, hmph!"

Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Wei Linglong dug her nails into her palms, but her expression remained impassive.

Then he smiled at Xiaoxi again.

"Princess, you jest! How could I possibly compete with Xiao Xi'er for His Majesty's favor? His Majesty will always be your father."

"snort"

Xiao Xi snorted when she heard Wei Linglong's words, and turned her head away, refusing to look at Wei Linglong anymore.

"Daddy~, do you know what that pretty lady's name was yesterday?"

"What's your name?"

"Daddy, come here, I'll tell you quietly, but no one else will hear."

"good"

Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Qin Jue deliberately brought his ear close to her mouth to listen to what she was saying.

"Hehe, Daddy, I'm telling you~, that pretty lady really likes me~"

"Little Xi'er is so great!"

Little Xi'er shook her head happily, then turned her head and saw something shiny.

"Daddy~, I want to get down!"

Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Qin Jue put her down on the ground, and Xiao Xi'er ran towards the place where there were fireflies.

Seeing that she was being completely ignored, Wei Linglong clenched and unclenched her fists repeatedly before putting on a smile again and looking at Qin Jue.
