When Xiao Xi heard Fang Zixu say that she wouldn't get any more food, she immediately burst into tears.

"Waaaaah"

Xiao Xi'er became increasingly sad, and ran into Chunhe's arms, crying her heart out.

Fang Zixu and Wei Yuanxuan were about to leave when they heard Xiao Xi'er crying.

Neither of them expected Xiaoxi to cry, and they didn't know what to do, so they just stood there.

Look at me, I look at you

Their eyes were both asking, 'What should we do if she cries? Should we comfort her?'

Chunhe squatted down, hugged Xiaoxi'er in her arms, and gently patted Xiaoxi'er's back with one hand.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

"I... Waaaaah... That time... Waaaah... I'm out of food."

"Shall I go find something for the princess to eat?"

Chunhe coaxed her gently.

"Not good" (not good)

"Waaaaah, I... I'll keep... waaaaah... I want his!" (I want his!)

Xiao Xi'er even pointed a finger at Fang Zixu.

This put Chunhe in a difficult position. Just as Chunhe was thinking about how to persuade Xiaoxi'er...

Fang Zixu spoke up.

"What do you want to eat?"

Xiao Xi'er peeked her head out from Chunhe's arms and looked at Fang Zixu.

He stammered, "Mmm...mmm...hiccup"

When Fang Zixu saw that Xiao Xi'er's face was covered with tears, he didn't know why, but his tone softened.

"Don't cry anymore, I'll take you to eat something delicious, okay?"

Little Xi'er was still hiccuping from crying, but stopped crying after hearing Fang Zixu's words.

"Hiccup... Benda... Hiccup... Ma?" (Really?)

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

Xiao Xi'er's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran to Fang Zixu, hugging him tightly.

"Side wall, you can't lie to me anymore this time."

Fang Zixu's face turned red again as Xiao Xi'er hugged him.

"No... I'm not lying to you."

"Let go!"

Fang Zixu blushed and told Xiao Xi'er to let go.

When Xiao Xi heard Fang Zixu tell her to let go, she had no choice but to lower her arms and stop hugging him.

Fang Zixu felt a pang of disappointment as he watched Xiao Xi'er send him away.

"Where's the food?"

"Outside the palace"

Fang Zixu was still feeling disappointed; she hadn't expected that she would actually let go after being asked to.

Wei Yuanxuan answered Xiao Xi'er's question.

"Kon in Skarri" (Where is outside the palace?)

"You didn't come from outside the palace?"

"Am I?"

Xiao Xi put her hand to her lips and bit it, then asked Wei Yuanxuan.

Wei Yuanxuan said he didn't know if Xiao Xi'er came from outside the palace.

"Yuan Xuan, why are you asking her so many questions?"

"If she wants to go, she can come with us out of the palace. Otherwise, where will she find food?"

"Yay! Yay!"

Xiao Xi jumped up and raised her hands.

"Princess, you are not allowed to leave the palace."

"No, I'm staying. I want to go have a nice meal with him."

"Let's go then."

Fang Zixu simply grabbed Xiao Xi'er's hand and left.

"Princess, you cannot leave the palace, otherwise His Majesty..."

"Sister Chunhe, if it's not good here, then wait for me here."

Seeing that she couldn't stop Xiao Xi'er, Chunhe followed along.

"May I have your name"

"Wosi Xiaoxi'er" (I am Xiaoxi'er)

"Then why does your maid call you princess? Shouldn't she call you young lady?"

Xiao Xi shook her head, "I don't know either."

Wei Yuanxuan thought for a moment, then asked, "Could it be that your nickname is 'Princess'?"

"I don't know" (I don't know)

"Then I'll give you face and call you Princess from now on."

"I'll call you Princess too."

Hearing this, Chunhe thought about what would happen if the two young masters called Xiaoxi'er "Princess" after they left the palace.

It would bring trouble or even danger to Xiaoxi, so we stopped it.

"Young Master Wei, Young Master Fang, this princess is also considered a young lady, so why don't you two call her 'Miss'?"

"Alright"

Wei Yuanxuan and Fang Zixu didn't think too much about it and agreed.

The echoes of several people lingered on the palace path.

Qin Jingyu was still listening to the Grand Tutor's lecture in the school when he vaguely heard Xiao Xi'er calling "brother".

However, after two or three calls, there was no more sound.

When Qin Jingyu looked out the window, he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Qin Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle; it seemed he missed Xiao Xi'er terribly.

"Your Majesty"

"What's wrong, Yu'er?"

Tang Yu arrived at Tang Shiya's palace carrying a plate of hibiscus cakes.

"I made a plate of hibiscus cake, and brought it here especially for Your Majesty to try."

Tang Shiya saw the hibiscus cake on the table, picked up a piece, and tasted it.

"Great, Yu'er's cooking skills have improved again."

Tang Yu began to talk about what she had seen that morning.

"Your Majesty, I have met with His Majesty today."

"Oh? Where did you see Yu'er?"

Tang Shiya never expected that Tang Yu would actually see His Majesty.

"I saw His Majesty in the Imperial Garden this morning; it seemed he was on his way to the morning court session."

Tang Shiya did not speak.

Tang Yu continued, "His Majesty is truly handsome and dashing!"

"It's even better than the rumors suggest."

Tang Yu thought for a moment, then spoke to Tang Shiya with a hint of secret excitement.

"Sister, why don't I go to the palace too? That way I can help you out there."

"Yu'er, do you know what you're saying?"
