After the pig's trotter soup was removed, Helian Nie felt that the inexplicable discomfort in his heart had dissipated considerably, and he began to eat his dinner with an elegant demeanor.

From that day on, the news spread throughout the palace that the Emperor disliked pig's trotters. The imperial kitchen was terrified that the Emperor might take his displeasure out on them.

They quickly put away the remaining large pig's trotters, deciding not to use them again.

So much so that when Helian Sisi returned to the palace later, he wanted to gnaw on a big, fragrant, and tender pig's trotter.

The imperial kitchen even had to specially buy fresh pig's trotters to cook with, which really annoyed Sisi.

Days passed by, and before they knew it, five-year-old Helian Si had been staying at the teacher's house for more than half a month.

On this day, which was a day of rest, at dusk, the handsome and ethereal scholar was summoned to the front hall, told that guests had arrived.

Helian Mousisi, a child with only one toy, stuck out his little bottom and teased the goldfish with a twig.

A cool breeze blew by, and the little girl subconsciously shrank her neck. Uh, it was a little cold.

Helian Si blinked, looking at the lotus leaves that were already starting to turn yellow, his little mind momentarily blank.

Is it already autumn?

Realizing this, Helian Mou Sisi stopped sticking out his little bottom and fiddling with the lotus leaves, and dropped the small twig.

With short legs, he walked back a few steps to the little bamboo stool that his teacher had made for him, a stool that was exclusively for him. He then began to count on his chubby little fingers, doing his calculations very seriously.

"One finger, two fingers, three fingers... ten fingers... Ooh, one finger, two fingers, three fingers... and another ten fingers!"

After living with the handsome and virtuous teacher for more than half a month, Sisi is no longer the little girl who could only count on ten fingers.

The saying "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation" perfectly describes a cute little girl like Sisi.

"Wow, Sisi has already lived here with twenty fingers full of people..."

The little girl, who could count clearly, was now holding her face in her chubby little hands, looking a little anxious.

"Why hasn't the Second Prince, who lives by Daming Lake, come to take Sisi back to the palace?"

Sisi's little face has slowly wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and her delicate eyebrows have also furrowed into a caterpillar shape.

"Is it because Father really doesn't want Sisi anymore, that's why he doesn't want Second Brother from Daming Lake to come and pick Sisi up?"

At this moment, Mou Sisi's little voice had already taken on a slight whimpering and crying tone, and her little eyes were also reddening.

"Sisi is so cute, Father Emperor, Father Emperor, how can you not want Sisi anymore, sob..."

The little girl could no longer contain herself. She cupped her face in her hands, staring at the small pond where ripples spread out as the fish swam by.

Her little nose tingled with sadness, and tears welled up and streamed down her face.

The little one, just a baby, sat on a bamboo stool, whimpering and crying softly. She looked so pitiful.

"Gurgle gurgle~"

Several small koi carp in the pond were just now poking their little heads out of the lotus leaf pond water.

It swayed its beautiful fish tail and blew bubbles at the crying little girl, as if comforting her.

"Hiccup, pretty little fish, are you comforting Sisi?"

Sisi was amazed by the scene before her. She sniffled and hiccuped, then spoke in a soft, childish voice with a sob in her voice.

"Gurgle~"

Several small koi fish were still poking their heads out, blowing bubbles at Helian Si.

"Then, then Sisi won't cry anymore."
