Seeing the Sixth Prince smile, Qiuqiu was also in a great mood.
She pointed happily at the sixth prince and said, "You've finally smiled."
The Sixth Prince said to Qiuqiu, "Thank you, Qiuqiu! Since things have come to this, Mother can only bear what she has to bear. I've come to terms with it."
Chiu Chiu: "It's good that you've figured it out."
Xiaofeng asked the two children, "Are you tired? Sleepy? Do you want to go somewhere else to play?"
Chiu Chiu and the Sixth Prince said in unison, "Not tired, not sleepy!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Chiu Chiu asked the Sixth Prince, "Is there anywhere else you want to go? Chiu Chiu will take you there!"
The sixth prince thought for a moment and said, "Before this, I had never left the palace. I've heard that the sea is beautiful. I want to go and see the sea."
Chirp: "Okay! Let's go right now!"
Xiao Feng transformed again, becoming a phoenix, and had the two of them sit on her lap.
Chirp: "Okay! Let's go, Little Phoenix!"
The phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky.
Chirp: "Wait, wait! The Milky Way is just ahead. Let's go take a look!"
The phoenix flew to the edge of the Milky Way.
Chiu Chiu and the Sixth Prince came down.
Various beautiful birds fly in the Milky Way.
The water droplets in the Milky Way shimmered and sparkled, making it a beautiful sight.
Many fairies were flying above the Milky Way.
The sixth prince exclaimed in surprise, "This... is the Milky Way? Are they fairies?"
Chirp: "Yeah!"
Xiao Feng curiously turned her head to look around.
Xiao Feng: "Today is the Qixi Festival. Maybe the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet here later."
Sixth Prince: "Really?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a flock of birds flew over, chirping all the while.
The magpies, each carrying a flower in its beak, were busy flying around.
In no time, a bridge made of fresh flowers was erected.
The sixth prince exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! There really is a Magpie Bridge!"
Chirp: "Of course."
A short while later, a man and a woman walked out from opposite sides of the Magpie Bridge.
The two met.
Xiao Feng excitedly pointed at them and said, "Those must be the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, right?"
The Sixth Prince: "This, this is amazing! Am I dreaming?"
The sixth prince pinched his thigh.
"Ouch! That hurts! It doesn't feel like a dream. But all of this is unbelievable!"
Chirp said, "What's the big deal? Are you done looking? If you're done, we still need to go see the sea. Otherwise, it'll be dawn soon!"
The sixth prince reluctantly followed Qiuqiu and sat on the phoenix's back.
As the sixth prince admired the scenery, he said, "If my third brother knew I was here, he would be green with envy."
Chiu Chiu quickly said, "Don't tell him! Otherwise I won't be able to keep bothering him."
Sixth Prince: "Good!"
Phoenixes spread their wings and soar through the sky.
Soon, through the clouds, a vast expanse of sea came into view.
Chiu Chiu pointed to the sea and said to the Sixth Prince, "Look, that's the sea!"
The sixth prince looked down and saw that the blue sea was very beautiful.
But having just experienced drowning, he suddenly felt a strange sense of fear as he looked at the seawater.
Chiu Chiu said, "The little fish in the ocean are so pretty! Would you like me to take you to see them?"
The sixth prince shook his head like a rattle drum.
The Sixth Prince: "Don't look, don't! I don't want to see water anymore. I, I'm scared."
Chiu Chiu: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot."
Sixth Prince: "It's nothing. I was the one who insisted on coming to see the sea. I didn't expect there to be so much water!"
Chiu Chiu: "Hahaha! You, a prince, don't you know that the ocean is all water?"
The sixth prince scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "I know, but I've never seen it. I might be traumatized by water for the rest of my life."
The sixth prince couldn't help but recall the scene from earlier that day.
Chiu Chiu looked at a bead hanging around her neck, and without hesitation, she took it off and hung it on the Sixth Prince's chest.
The sixth prince looked at the beads and asked, "What is this?"
Chirp: "This is a water-repelling bead. It's for you."
Sixth Prince: "Water-repelling pearl?"
Chirp: "With the water-repellent beads, you'll never be afraid of drowning again. With them, you can move freely in the water."
Sixth Prince: "Really?"
Chiu Chiu smiled and said, "Of course. This was a gift from the Dragon King."
The sixth prince looked at the water-repelling bead around his neck in amazement and said, "Wow, it's a gift from the Dragon King. Thank you, Chuchu!"
Chirp: "You're welcome. Are you feeling better now?"
Sixth Prince: "I'm much better. Thank you for your company! Otherwise, in this desolate palace, who would care about the feelings of a down-on-his-luck prince?"
Chuchu comforted the Sixth Prince, saying, "Alright, don't think about it so much. We're getting ready to go back!"
Sixth Prince: "Hmm."
The sixth prince glanced at the unfathomable sea one last time, and then the phoenix spread its wings and flew towards the palace.
Jiujiu escorted the Sixth Prince into the palace, but the palace maids and eunuchs at the gate had not yet woken up.
The sixth prince was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
Chiu Chiu patted the Sixth Prince in a very serious manner, then gently said to him, "Sleep well!"
Upon waking up, the Sixth Prince immediately felt refreshed.
He recalled the events of the previous night; it all seemed like a dream.
Sixth Prince: "Was I just having a dream last night?"
The sixth prince glanced at the table; Qiuqiu's rice bowl was still there.
A conspicuous bead hung around his neck.
The sixth prince touched the bead and smiled.
After bidding farewell to the Empress Dowager, the Empress also packed her things and went home.
On the way home, Qiuqiu felt stuffy inside the carriage, so she opened the window and happened to see Qi Jiating leading Jinlan and the others into Lord Sun's mansion.
Why have they all gone to Lord Sun's residence? Are they planning something else?
Chiu Chiu frowned, lost in thought.
When Xu Ruyun looked outside, Qi Jiating and the others had already gone inside. She didn't see anything unusual, so she didn't take Qiuqiu's words to heart.
[According to the previous setup, Jinlan and her group ingratiated themselves with the Second Prince, offering him numerous schemes and committing many heinous acts. But now that the Second Prince has fallen from power, to whom will they turn?]
At Lord Sun's residence, there was singing and dancing in peace and prosperity.
Xiao Zhenzhen delivered the gifts to Madam Sun.
Mrs. Sun said with a smile, "You're too kind."
Xiao Zhenzhen: "Of course, we should thank you for your hospitality."
One delicious dish after another was served on the table.
Jinlan's stomach was growling with hunger, but Lord Sun had not yet announced that dinner was served.
After a long while, Lord Sun said, "Today, in order to host a banquet for Lord Qi and his family, I have also specially invited a distinguished guest."
Qi Jiating and Xiao Zhenzhen both looked outside.
Distinguished guest, what kind of distinguished guest?
