Helian Mousi didn't dwell on it; his grape-like, moist eyes began to fall on the pile of novelties that Nanrong Jinghua had brought into the palace.

Oh my, it's a rattle drum with gold trim!

Oh my, it's a pretty little red dress!

Wow, it's a hairpin inlaid with sparkling gemstones!

The little girl's rosy cheeks were beaming with a smile. Hehe, but I didn't see any books for the lecture hall!

"Teacher, does Sisi not have to attend class today?"

Sisi's little thoughts were so obvious, it was practically written all over her little face: "Sisi doesn't want to listen to the lecture."

Nan Rong Jinghua chuckled softly, took a sip of tea, placed the teacup on the pear blossom table, bent down, and pulled the little girl into her arms.

"Need not."

"Aww~ Smack smack, Master, you're the best~!"

Helian Si clapped his little hands excitedly, and of course, he didn't forget to take the opportunity to take advantage of the handsome and divine teacher.

Nan Rong Jinghua was quite happy to oblige. Noticing the little girl's movements, he even leaned down slightly to allow her to kiss him.

The palace servants who were serving inside the hall said that Young Master Jinghua was very gentle. In particular, the younger palace maids secretly glanced at Nanrong Jinghua, their faces turned red and they lowered their heads, their hearts pounding like deer.

"Cough, cough cough."

Fearing that his timid little princess, who was easily swayed by the beauty of the photoshopped pictures, might be bewitched by the hypocrite Nan Rong Jing Hua, He Lian Ci deliberately stayed behind to keep an eye on her.

Seeing the two of them so intimate now, how could this be allowed? If he could, Helian Ci really wanted to kick Nan Rong Jinghua, this hypocrite, out.

"hold head high?"

Hearing Helian Ci cough, the little girl stopped her little act of taking advantage of the handsome man and turned her fluffy little head to look at the boy sitting in the wheelchair next to her.

"Second brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Have you caught a cold?"

The little girl's eyebrows furrowed tightly, her small mouth pursed, and her grape-like, moist eyes were filled with concern.

Although the second prince by Daming Lake loves to eat pretty dolls, lately he's been treating me very well.

Just thinking about that pink, Mary Sue-esque bubble scene from this morning makes Helian Mou Sisi's little heart melt.

Oh my~ Actually, the Second Prince by Daming Lake is quite handsome too, a sickly beauty, a delicate and frail sickly beauty, I like him too~

Thinking of this, the little girl moved her small body down from Nan Rong Jinghua's arms, took short steps, and ran to Helian Ci.

The little girl, so tiny, her bright, watery eyes darted left and right, up and down, looking at Helian Ci.

Seeing this, Helian Ci felt a little embarrassed. He reached out and pinched the little girl's pink cheek, coughed lightly, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.

"What are you looking at?"

Helian Mou Sisi was caught off guard by the pinch, blinking his eyes blankly and looking completely innocent.

"Sisi, check if Second Brother is feeling unwell anywhere."

Helian Ci: "..."

I don't feel physically uncomfortable, but I feel a little uneasy.

But not wanting the little timid girl to worry about him, Helian Ci gently pinched the girl's cheek and spoke softly in a hoarse voice.

"My brother is alright."

If I had known that this coward would succumb to beauty so easily, I wouldn't have bothered with those big chicken legs and sweets. Well, I'm not bad looking, to be honest.
