Here,

Inside Yongqing Palace.

Because her beloved chicken leg was stolen during lunch, even though she was the one who started the trouble, the girl still held a grudge against Helian Ci.

Hmph, don't think she's a five-year-old who doesn't remember things. She remembers things like "fat baby" and "stealing chicken legs" very clearly.

As dusk approached, the scorching sun that had been burning the earth high in the sky had already set. Although some heat had not yet dissipated, it was not so hot as to feel stuffy.

Yongqing Palace has a small lotus pond, which is very small and shallow. It contains a few pure white water lilies, which are in full bloom during the summer.

Little Helian Si, with his bottom sticking out, had a pair of bright, grape-like eyes on his rosy face.

It was staring intently at the lotus pond, occasionally reaching out its little hands to gently pluck at the lush green lotus leaves.

Because the pond was very shallow, even for a small person like Helian Si, the water only went up to his calves, so Yue'er was not worried.

A few steps away, under the eaves, Helian Ci sat quietly in his wheelchair, his face pale and sickly.

A pair of dark eyes, like still, deep pools, were watching with great interest the little girl squatting by the lotus pond, her little bottom sticking out.

"Aww~ One, two, three, four, Buddha Lotus, Buddha Lotus, look, there are four little goldfish!"

Helian Si suppressed his excitement and spoke in a low voice.

A small, delicate hand clutched her little skirt to prevent it from getting wet in the pool.

The other small, white hand would occasionally tug at the lush green lotus leaves in the pond, just to count how many goldfish were in the pond.

Fo Lian crossed her short legs, then crossed her long legs and hugged her long arms, turning her head away to indicate that she didn't want to pay attention to Helian Si.

077 is just too cute, waaaaah, it's such a rare and adorable dog!

Helian Si wasn't annoyed. His small, fair hands gently brushed against the lotus leaves, and every now and then he would reach out his little finger to poke the little goldfish that was resting motionless.

The little goldfish that had been poked was so frightened that it swayed its beautiful tail and swam around in the pond.

"Isn't the little goldfish pretty?" A slightly hoarse voice sounded beside him.

Helian Si turned his head and realized that his sickly, sharp-tongued second brother, who lived by Daming Lake, had somehow wheeled himself to his side.

"Hmph, beautiful." I'm not going to show you, hehehe~!

The little girl whimpered, then wrinkled her little nose and haughtily turned her head away when she looked at Helian Ci in the wheelchair.

On her rosy little face, her expression was both cute and fierce. Hmph, she'd remember the chicken leg grudge!

Taking in the little girl's adorable yet fierce expression, Helian Ci, sitting in his wheelchair, curled his crimson lips into a smile.

His dark eyes were slightly lowered, and his long, pale fingers, which were neatly draped over his brocade robe, twitched slightly.

He raised his eyes to look at the little girl's rosy profile, and Helian Ci's crimson lips slowly parted.

"These goldfish are so pretty, I bet they'd taste delicious grilled, right?"

Helian Ci's quiet remark successfully made Helian Si, who was still teasing the goldfish with his small, delicate hands, stop poking it.

Turning her head to look at Helian Ci, who was sitting in a wheelchair, her rosy little face showed her slightly widened, grape-like, bright eyes.
