"Phew~"

Having escaped the ordeal of a spanking, Mou Sisi dared not speak recklessly again, obediently sitting next to Helian Nie and letting out a soft sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, this is what you requested."

The eagle that went to the back mountain returned with a long, thin, and bright green bamboo strip. It must hurt a lot to spank someone's bottom with it.

Mou Sisi: "!!!"

On her rosy little face, her grape-like, moist eyes widened in disbelief and fear as she looked at the long eagle.

Big brother, have you been feeling uncomfortable with this little cutie Sisi for a long time? How could you deliberately retaliate like this?!

Fearing that his little bottom would suffer the cruel hand of the bamboo stick, Sisi stretched out his chubby little hand.

He took the bamboo strip that Changying had respectfully presented to him, and with lightning speed placed it on the dragon throne, then plopped down on it!

Helian Nie: "..."

Long Eagle: "..."

Sisi tilted her little face up to look at Helian Nie, her bright eyes full of innocence, just like a perfectly innocent child.

"Father, what's wrong? Big brother just said there are no bamboo sticks left on the back mountain. Hey, Father, let's continue eating the cake party that Third Brother made for Sisi."

After saying that, the little girl stretched out her small hand, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, and stuffed it into Helian Nie's mouth with a smile, looking extremely innocent and harmless.

Bamboo strips? They don't exist!

Doesn't the cake that Third Brother made for Sisi taste good?

Changying: No, I didn't say that.

Helian Nie: "..."

He found it amusing, but didn't call the little girl out on it. He gently patted her fluffy head with his warm hand.

Beneath the girl's fawning, obsequious smile, the handsome man wore a benevolent fatherly smile and uttered a soft, languid remark.

"If my skirt gets damaged from sitting on it and I accidentally expose myself, it's even more embarrassing than being beaten up by someone."

The crimson phoenix dress on that ugly thing is extremely rare and precious, and it is also extremely fragile and cannot withstand rough materials.

Helian the Little Coward: "!!!"

"Hehe, I don't understand what Father is saying."

As long as I don't move around, my skirt won't break. If I admit it, my bottom will definitely get a spanking. I absolutely cannot let Father Emperor get the bamboo stick!

Helian Nie raised an eyebrow slightly, gave Changying a wink, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the officials below, no longer looking at the little girl.

Feeling guilty, the man dared not look at Helian Nie openly, so he secretly glanced at him with his eyes.

Seeing that the little one was really not looking at her anymore, she swallowed hard, moved her little bottom away, and reached for the bamboo stick with her little hand.

Little by little, and then a tiny bit more, and then just a tiny bit more...

"Rip—!"

The air was silent for a second.

Helian Nie paused slightly in his movement of holding the dragon-patterned wine vessel, then turned to look at the little girl sitting beside him.

The first thing you see is a little girl with her face flushed red, looking like she's about to cry.

Seeing Helian Nie looking over, Sisi's eyes immediately reddened, and her small voice trembled with a sob.

"Father, Father Emperor, Sisi's beautiful dress...it seems to be torn!"

Sisi really wanted to cry out loud, but, but, but there were still so many people around, she couldn't cry, waaaaah, it would be so embarrassing for a five-year-old, no, a six-year-old, waaaah.

"you,"

Helian Nie felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. He had only mentioned it casually, and it had come true.

"Waaah, Father, hiccup, save me, waaaah!"

Sisi stopped pulling on the bamboo strips, afraid that her little bottom would be exposed, and covered the hem of her skirt with her chubby little hands.

Her grape-like eyes, blurry with tears, looked pitifully at Helian Nie, speaking in a soft, sweet voice, with hiccups in between.

Why, why does life always have to make things difficult for this little cutie? Waaaaah!
