The Crown Prince said to Qiuqiu, "Qiuqiu, your father misses you. Come to the palace with me today!"
Chirp nodded.
[It just so happens that I also have something I'd like to say to the Emperor.]
After Xiao Feng finished washing and dressing Qiu Qiu and changed her into beautiful clothes, she went into the palace with the Crown Prince.
The Emperor was reading memorials in his study when he saw Qiuqiu arrive, so he put the memorials down.
Chiu Chiu disregarded all formalities and ran over, calling out, "Your Majesty—"
The Emperor happily picked up Qiuqiu and hugged her.
The Emperor: "Chirp has sunk again. You've been greedy again, haven't you?"
Chirp: "I'm not heavy at all, Chirp is very light."
The Emperor chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, our chirping is as light as a swallow."
The Crown Prince watched with envy as the Emperor and Qiuqiu played together. As the Crown Prince, he dared not play with his father like that.
Crown Prince: "Father, I will have the Imperial Kitchen prepare some delicious food and bring it here."
The Emperor said, "Very well! It's perfect that Qiuqiu will dine with me."
Crown Prince: "Yes!"
Soon, various dishes were served.
The Emperor held Qiuqiu on his lap and said, "What does Qiuqiu like to eat? I'll get it for you!"
The crown prince stood respectfully to one side.
The emperor seems to have forgotten about his son's existence.
Chiu Chiu waved to the Crown Prince and said, "Brother Crown Prince, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come and eat!"
The Crown Prince glanced at the Emperor.
The Emperor said, "What are you still standing there for? Qiuqiu is calling you to eat! Come on over!"
"yes!"
The Crown Prince sat down to dine with them.
After taking a bite, Chiu Chiu looked at the food on the table and sighed.
The Emperor put Qiuqiu down and said, "Qiuqiu, is the food unpalatable? I will have the imperial chefs prepare it again!"
Chirp waved her hand and said, "No, that's not it."
Crown Prince: "Then why is Chiu Chiu sighing?"
Chiu Chiu: "I wonder if there will still be any good food after the snow disaster."
The Emperor and the Crown Prince said in unison, "A snow disaster?"
The Emperor: "What snow disaster?"
Chiu Chiu muttered, "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."
Crown Prince: "I believe you!"
The Emperor: "I believe it too!"
Chirp: "In ten days, a major snow disaster will be coming."
The emperor looked outside.
It was the height of summer outside, with the sun blazing down and the heat intense.
Forget about snow, there doesn't even look like a drop of rain is going to fall right now.
The emperor chuckled awkwardly twice and said, "Snow disaster, snow!"
The prince looked at the sun outside, wiped the sweat from his brow, and said dismissively, "Is it going to snow?"
Chuchu burst into tears: "I knew you wouldn't believe me! Waaaaah..."
The Emperor panicked and gestured to the Crown Prince to comfort Qiuqiu.
The prince quickly hugged Qiuqiu and said, "We believe you, we believe in Qiuqiu!"
The Emperor said, "Yes, I believe what Qiuqiu said. I will immediately issue an order for all the people in the country to stockpile grain in preparation for any eventuality!"
Chiu Chiu nodded: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Chiu Chiu then went to visit the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
When the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince heard that Qiuqiu had arrived, they both ran over excitedly to play with her.
Chiu Chiu looked at them with a worried expression.
If a snowstorm were to strike, even within the palace, how would they protect themselves in such cold weather?
Empress Dowager and Empress: Snow disaster?
The maid behind her waved her fan a few more times.
Empress Dowager: That can't be! It's the height of summer!
The Empress Dowager took a hairpin out of her jewelry box and gave it to Qiuqiu.
Empress Dowager: "I think this hairpin suits Qiuqiu very well, so I'm giving it to you. Here, put it on and let me see if it looks good on you?"
The Empress Dowager personally put the hairpin on Qiuqiu's head.
Chirp twirled around a few times and asked, "Is it pretty?"
The Third Prince clapped his hands, exclaiming, "Beautiful! Beautiful! Chuchu is the most beautiful!"
The Sixth Prince handed a pastry to Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, try this, it's delicious!"
The Third Prince gave his cricket to Qiuqiu.
"Chirp chirp, this cricket sings so beautifully. It's for you!"
The Queen took out two new outfits for Qiuqiu.
Empress: "Chirp chirp, I see you've grown taller. These are new clothes made for you. Do they fit you?"
Qiuqiu's nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face.
Empress Dowager: "Why are you crying? Come here, my little darling, let me wipe your tears."
The Empress Dowager took out a handkerchief and personally wiped away Qiuqiu's tears.
The Empress asked with some concern, "Chirp, is it because the clothes I prepared for you are not good enough?"
Chiu Chiu wiped away her tears and said, "No. It's because you're all so good to me! Waaaaah..."
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh! I thought something was wrong. Chirp, we are doing this for your own good."
The Queen: "Yes, Chiu Chiu, you must not feel any burden."
Chuchu: "Mmm."
I need to find some protective magic items; it would be good if they came in handy sometime.
Chuchu: "Wait for me! I also have a present to give!"
Before anyone could react, Chiu Chiu ran outside.
Xiao Feng followed him out.
Upon arriving at a secluded artificial hill, he left Xiao Feng outside while he entered the shrine.
You should do this kind of thing in a secluded place.
Otherwise, people would be terrified if they saw her disappear in a flash.
Chirp entered the Divine Pavilion.
What can people use during a heavy snowfall? First and foremost, there's the issue of heating; if only there were a magical device that could generate warmth.
Chirp entered the third door of the Divine Pavilion.
As soon as the door opened, several small fireflies flew over.
