Chapter 124 Climbing onto Xue Yili’s Back

The guest should follow the host's wishes. Ji Jinyou nodded and followed Yun Yao into the yard.

When the servants in the courtyard saw the two people enter the door, they hurried forward to greet them: "This servant/slave has met Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess and Miss Yun."

Ji Jinyou raised her hands and said with a smile, "No need to be polite."

Yun Yao also nodded: "Everyone get up."

Everyone responded and stood up. The leading maid respectfully invited the two into the hall, served them tea and snacks, and then stepped outside the door to wait.

Ji Jinyou had just finished his meal and was not hungry. He sat on a chair and looked around.

The luxurious furnishings in the palace formed a sharp contrast with the simplicity of Concubine Yun's palace, but it was consistent with Xue Yili's status as the crown prince.

Yun Yao originally wanted to give Ji Jinyou a gift, but when they arrived at the place, he was reluctant to take it out and just stared at her intently.

Ji Jinyou felt uneasy at her infatuated gaze and couldn't help asking, "Sister Yao, what's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Yun Yao came back to her senses, holding Ji Jinyou's hand, and said in a clear voice, smiling happily: "Sister Youyou, you are so pretty, like a fairy child in a painting. No wonder the prince likes you so much. If I were him, I would also want you to be my sister."

Faced with such straightforward and enthusiastic compliments, Ji Jinyou felt a little embarrassed, but in her heart she was happy and couldn't help but laugh along, saying in her heart: "It turns out that the little prince wanted me to be his sister because I'm pretty."

System: [Our Youzai'er is not only good-looking, but also adorable.] After so many years, the system still calls him Youzai'er and never changes the name.

Xue Yili walked in with one hand behind his back, and saw the little girl smiling with a hint of shyness on her face. He smiled and asked, "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"

Yun Yao stood up, bowed to Xue Yili, and replied with a smile: "Brother Crown Prince, I was saying that Youyou is pretty, like a fairy boy."

Xue Yili smiled and looked at the obedient little girl, then nodded: "Yes, she does look like her."

Seeing Xue Yili come back so soon, Ji Jinyou was a little surprised: "Little Prince, why are you back? Aren't you going to accompany my brother?"

Xue Yili walked over and sat next to Ji Jinyou. He reached out and touched the little girl's head: "Didn't we agree on this? Why are you still calling me Your Highness?"

It was a habit and hard to change the way he spoke. Ji Jinyou smiled and called out, "Brother A Li."

Xue Yili nodded and smiled, then answered her question: "Your brothers are resting now, so I'll come over to accompany you first."

After saying that, he turned to look at Yun Yao and said, "Ah Yao, go accompany the imperial concubine first and come back later."

Yun Yao didn't want to leave, but Xue Yili's tone left no room for doubt. She didn't dare to resist. She held Ji Jinyou's hand and shook it, reluctantly saying, "Sister Youyou, I'll come to play with you later. By the way, my gift is together with Brother Ali's. I'll let him give it to you later."

Ji Jinyou shook Yun Yao's hand back: "Thank you, Sister Yao."

"Don't be polite with me." Yun Yao waved her hands and glanced at Xue Yili again. Xue Yili glanced at the door and motioned her to hurry up. Yun Yao then let go of Ji Jinyou's hand and left reluctantly. The moment she walked out of the door, she muttered softly, "You are such a jerk. I wanted to play with sister Youyou for a while longer. You let me coax her here, and then you chased me away. Brother Crown Prince is so annoying..."

Yun Yao's voice was not loud and gradually faded away. Ji Jinyou didn't hear it clearly, so he looked up at Xue Yili and asked, "What did Sister Yao just say?"

Xue Yili had good hearing and heard everything, but he couldn't tell the truth, so he made up a lie: "Ah Yao said she would treat you to fish tonight."

Ji Jinyou thought he had heard wrongly and nodded: "Oh, OK, I like to eat fish."

Seeing the little girl blinking her big dark eyes, looking silly and adorable, Xue Yili tried hard to hold back his laughter, put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, straightened his face, stood up, held the little girl's waist with both hands, picked her up and walked out: "Come on, I'll take you to see the gift."

Ji Jinyou glanced at the palace maids standing in the corridor, as well as the shocked Jin Xing and Hai Tang. She patted Xue Yili on the shoulder and whispered, "Brother Ali, I'll go by myself."

Xue Yili agreed, bent down and put the little girl on the ground, took her little hand, slowed down his pace, and led her around the main hall to the backyard.

There was actually a fairly spacious garden in the backyard. Under a crabapple tree in full bloom was a snow-white pony tied up. It had no other colors on it from head to toe and was very beautiful.

Ji Jinyou had never seen a completely white horse before, and she fell in love with it at first sight

She pointed at the foal and looked up at Xue Yili, her eyes sparkling: "Is it for me?"

Xue Yili smiled and nodded: "It's for you."

Ji Jinyou let go of Xue Yili's hand, ran over, stretched out her little hand to touch the foal, but she was afraid to do so, and retracted her hand halfway.

The pony that was eating grass raised its head and stared at Ji Jinyou with its crystal clear eyes.

Ji Jinyou waved her hands towards the pony: "Hello, little pony, I'm Youyou, we'll be friends from now on."

Seeing the little girl talking seriously to the pony, Xue Yili couldn't help laughing. He reached out and rubbed the little girl's head. Then he held her hand and took her to touch the pony, saying gently, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."

The snow-white horse hair was smooth as silk, soft and delicate, and felt like satin. Ji Jinyou couldn't help but touch it a few more times. She tilted her head back and looked at Xue Yili, her eyes curved into crescents: "I like it, thank you, Brother Ali."

Seeing that the little girl liked it, Xue Yili was very happy and asked, "Now that you have learned how to ride a horse, do you want to try it?"

"I can ride it," Ji Jinyou answered, stretching out his little hand from his head to the pony, "but it's too small, not much taller than me, I'll wait until it grows bigger before riding it."

Xue Yili naturally followed her instructions and snapped his fingers. A young man appeared out of nowhere, holding a cage in his hand. He walked over, put the cage on the ground, bowed to Ji Jinyou, and asked with a smile, "Ninth Princess, do you still remember me?"

Ji Jinyou looked at him for a while and recognized him. Seeing an old friend again, Ji Jinyou was very happy and greeted him with a smile: "Cong'an."

Cong An smiled happily and nodded: "It's you, little one. I haven't seen you for many years. Are you okay?"

Ji Jinyou nodded: "I'm fine, how are you?"

Cong An smiled and said everything was fine, then immediately bowed and left. He knew how long his master had been waiting for the little princess, and he didn't dare to delay them here, lest he get stabbed in the face when he turned around.

Seeing that Cong'an ran away after saying one sentence, and ran very fast, Ji Jinyou thought he was busy and didn't pay attention. He squatted down and tilted his head to look at the gray puppy in the cage: "Brother Ali, is this for me too?"

Xue Yili also squatted down: "Yes, this is a gift from Ah Yao."

Ji Jinyou opened the cage and carefully picked up the round little puppy: "I like this puppy."

Xue Yili chuckled: "Youyou, this is not a puppy."

"Hmm?" Ji Jinyou tilted his head and looked at Xue Yili: "Why isn't it a puppy?"

Xue Yili smiled and said, "It's Little Wolf."

The little wolf seemed to understand. It bared its teeth at Ji Jinyou and let out a low growl.

Ji Jinyou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She immediately dropped her hand and turned around to climb onto Xue Yili's back. Her two little hands tightly clung to Xue Yili's neck, and she urged him anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up."

The little girl jumped over his head in panic, and Xue Yili couldn't help laughing out loud.
