The eldest prince ordered Lord Sun to quickly find the person who wrote the poem.
However, Lord Sun looked troubled.
The eldest prince looked at Lord Sun and said, "What's wrong? Is it so difficult to ask you to go and fetch someone?"
Lord Sun said with difficulty, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not appropriate now. How about I arrange a dinner party for you tomorrow?"
The eldest prince was somewhat annoyed and slammed his fist on the table, saying, "Who does he think he is, putting on such an air!"
Lord Sun explained, "It's not that she's arrogant. She's just a bit young. At this hour, she's probably already asleep."
The eldest prince: "Small? How small?"
Lord Sun held up two fingers.
The eldest prince: "Twelve?"
Lord Sun shook his head.
The eldest prince continued to guess: "Twenty?"
Lord Sun said, "No."
The eldest prince grew a little anxious and said, "Stop keeping me in suspense! Does he think he's still two years old?"
Lord Sun: "Your Highness is truly a man of great wisdom. She is indeed only about two years old. I'm afraid that making too much noise will frighten her. If she's so frightened in front of Your Highness that she can't display her intelligence, then it would be a loss."
The eldest prince said, "That's true. But he's only two years old, how did he come up with such a beautiful poem?"
Lord Sun: "I don't know either. But she said that besides writing poetry, she can do many other things."
The eldest prince said, "Alright. Then let me see what kind of earth-shattering things this child can do."
Lord Sun: "Yes, Your Highness. I have arranged for the family to come to my residence for a small gathering tomorrow. Why don't you come along, Your Highness? We can then meet this two-year-old child, shall we?"
First Prince: "Alright! Go and make the arrangements!"
Lord Sun: "Yes!"
The sky gradually darkened.
Chiu Chiu was still lingering in the palace and hadn't left.
After Consort Li was demoted to a nunnery, the sixth prince could not see his mother in the vast palace.
The sixth prince was completely distraught, burying his head in his legs and weeping silently.
A fragrant aroma and the sound of smacking food drew him in.
The sixth prince thought to himself: Who is this person, eating so deliciously?
The sixth prince looked up and saw that Qiuqiu was eating with great relish from her small bowl.
Chiu Chiu approached the Sixth Prince, placed the small bowl in front of him, and said, "Big brother, have some! It's delicious!"
The sixth prince looked at the food, swallowed, but quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, you eat!"
Chiu Chiu deliberately ate with gusto in front of the Sixth Prince, then pushed the bowl towards him.
Chiu Chiu: "Aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten all day."
The sixth prince's stomach began to rumble incessantly.
To say I wasn't hungry would be a lie.
However, too many things happened that day.
He couldn't accept it right away.
He was also unable to eat and sleep as easily and happily as before, as if nothing had happened.
He missed his previous life and his mother.
So, I couldn't eat or sleep.
Chiu Chiu put the bowl on the table and said, "You can't eat anymore, right? Then I'll take you out to play."
Sixth Prince: "Play? Where to play?"
Playing is a child's nature.
The sixth prince was only five or six years old, so of course he wanted to play.
But even after exploring the entire palace, he couldn't find many interesting places.
The palace is a place where rules are strictly observed.
Even if the Sixth Prince wanted to have some fun, he couldn't!
Chiu Chiu thought for a moment and said, "Hmm. How about I take you to see the stars?"
The sixth prince said, "What's so interesting about stars? Just stand outside the window, look up, and you'll see them."
Chirp: "No, no, I'll take you to see the stars in the Milky Way. They're so beautiful!"
The sixth prince thought to himself: Even I wouldn't dare to boast like that. The stars in the Milky Way, huh?
Chiu Chiu looked at the Sixth Prince with some disbelief.
So she released a sleep bug, which made the guards and maids fall asleep.
Then, Qiuqiu took the Sixth Prince's hand and walked outside.
Chirp called out, "Little Phoenix, take us to the Milky Way! We want to see the stars!"
The sixth prince saw Qiuqiu's maid walking over.
Before he could react, Xiao Feng grabbed them and flew into the sky.
The sixth prince was shocked as he watched everything on the ground getting further and further away from him, and he screamed in fright.
Chirp: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. She's a phoenix! She'll take you to see the stars in a bit."
The sixth prince was so frightened that he burst into tears.
Suddenly, a phoenix's cry rang out.
Xiao Feng transformed into a large phoenix, and she used her wings to protect the Sixth Prince.
Chiu Chiu and the Sixth Prince sat on her lap.
The sixth prince had never seen a phoenix before.
He immediately stopped crying and obediently lay down on the phoenix's body.
Chiu Chiu: "That's right. You need to relax. You can only see beautiful scenery when you're relaxed."
The phoenix carried them through the clouds.
The sixth prince reached out and stroked the white clouds.
The sky was blue, and the wind was gentle.
The stars are like large jewels set in the sky.
It twinkles and sparkles, it's so beautiful.
The sixth prince couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! How beautiful!"
Chiu Chiu: "I told you, it's different, right?"
Looking at the bright moon, the sixth prince suddenly felt sad again.
"I wonder how my mother is doing? I miss her so much."
Chiu Chiu: "Then I'll take you to see her, okay?"
The sixth prince said happily, "Great! I want to see my mother!"
Chirp patted Phoenix's body and said, "Little Phoenix, go!"
Phoenix nodded, quickened its pace, and flew like the wind towards the nunnery where Consort Li was.
Before long, they arrived at the window of Consort Li's room.
The phoenix then transformed into human form.
Qiuqiu pointed inside and said, "Your mother is inside. Do you want to go see her?"
The sixth prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I not go in, but just sneak a peek at her?"
Chirp: "Of course!"
Xiao Feng licked her fingers and poked three holes in the paper window.
All three of them simultaneously covered their eyes with the covers.
Inside the room, Consort Li was dressed in plain clothes.
She diligently copied the scriptures, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes repenting.
Consort Li knelt before the Buddha statue, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and said, "Buddha is merciful. I once committed a heinous crime. It was Her Majesty the Empress who spared my life. Now I have repented. I wish to stay before the Buddha forever, slowly erasing my sins. I also ask Buddha to bless my Xing'er, wishing him a lifetime of health, peace, happiness, and carefree joy!"
As the sixth prince watched and listened, tears welled up in his eyes again.
Chiu Chiu tilted her head and looked at the Sixth Prince.
[Sigh! Why are you crying again? You're such a crybaby.]
The sixth prince looked around.
Who? Who said I'm a crybaby? I'm not.
The sixth prince wiped away his tears and walked to the side.
Xiao Feng asked, "Sixth Prince, are you really not going to go and take a look?"
The sixth prince said, "No need. I already know that my mother is well. I don't want to disturb her peace and cause her any unnecessary thoughts."
Chiu Chiu gave the Sixth Prince a thumbs up.
"That guy is awesome!"
The sixth prince smiled for the first time ever.
