"Ouch~"

"Hmph, can you even eat that?" (Does the logic even make sense?)

"If it hurts, then just endure the pain, that makes sense..."

Qin Jue was only halfway through his sentence when he saw Xiao Xi'er's sparkling eyes.

This girl just wants to know if she can refuse to eat because of the 'reason'; my daughter really is a little glutton.

"Of course...you can't eat it!"

Little Xi'er visibly wilted.

Okay.

Xiao Xi'er answered reluctantly.

Qin Jue put Xiao Xi'er on the bed and then began to have someone help her change her clothes.

After Qin Jue was helped to change his clothes, he saw Xiao Xi'er lying on the bed chewing on something.

As Qin Jue walked in, he saw that Xiao Xi'er was holding the dragon pendant in her hands.

That dragon pendant was given to her when Xiao Xi'er was a few months old. I don't know where this little girl found it, but she's now hugging and chewing on it.

Standing on the ground, Qin Jue was momentarily dazed when he saw Xiao Xi'er lying on the bed, hugging and chewing on a jade-green dragon pendant.

...

"Your Majesty, look how much Xiao Xi'er loves the gift you gave her!"

"Look at him! He even sleeps with his jade pendant, chewing on it, and doesn't want to let go."

A woman covered her mouth and smiled as she looked at Xiao Xi'er in Qin Jue's arms.

"Do you need to tell me? She wouldn't dare dislike something I gave her."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is right."

"It seems that little Xi'er likes His Majesty, her father, more than she likes me, her mother."

"This truly breaks my heart!"

"Hmph, I am the Emperor, her father, of course she will like me more."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
