When Li Shengyi walked out of the meditation room with his head lowered, he caught a glimpse of a dark blue figure walking towards him.
When a pair of black brocade boots embroidered with dark patterns stopped at her feet, a deep voice sounded above her head.
"how?"
Li Shengyi raised her eyes and met his. She chuckled and said, "What a...exciting conversation."
Qin Songmo knew the abbot's identity from the beginning, so he was not too surprised by his little daughter's current appearance.
Bending down and holding his little daughter in his arms, he smiled, "It's okay. If you haven't figured something out, you can put it aside for now."
"Shengyi has plenty of time to think about many things, so there's no need to rush to figure this one out."
A cold yet gentle voice sounded in his ears. Li Shengyi reached out and hugged his neck, curling his slightly cold cheeks into his neck.
Smelling the familiar sandalwood, she muttered, "The abbot said you have a heart disease, and heart disease needs heart medicine. Daddy, will I be your heart medicine?"
Qin Songmo pulled his cloak around the little daughter in his arms, passing on a little warmth from his body to her, and only then did he hear him nod.
"Why not? The kindness is very strong."
"Cheer me."
Li Shengyi wrinkled her nose. She never thought she was that great, and even... was a little arrogant because of her favor.
Her father spoiled her too much. When she thought about losing the role of a father again in the future, her nose felt sore and her little head kept rubbing against his neck.
Qin Songmo seemed to sense her uneasiness, and raised his hand to pat her on the back.
"When the new emperor ascends the throne, Daddy will retire and return home, and take you on a journey around the world. How do you think?"
"I've been feeling depressed in the court for so long these past few years. Perhaps if I go out for a walk with Shengyi, my father's illness will be cured."
The almost gentle voice sounded in my ears again.
Upon hearing this, Li Shengyi immediately raised his head from his arms.
Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and a bright smile appeared on her face again. "Really?"
Qin Songmo nodded, "When has Dad ever lied to you?"
"Back when we were in the Dali Temple, they said you drank poisoned medicine. Before that, you told me not to worry."
Faced with his little daughter's sharp words, Qin Songmo was speechless.
Sometimes my little daughter is too smart and seems not so easy to coax...
Qin Songmo, who had overwhelmed all the court officials in the court and even the late emperor could not refute his words, fell silent again in front of his youngest daughter.
After a long while, he smiled and stretched out his finger, "Let's pinky promise. If you pinky promise, daddy won't lie to you."
He hooked his two little fingers together, one large and one small, and after using his thumb to stamp the seal, Li Shengyi shuddered and said, "Dad, let's take the master back with us when we go back."
"He said he wanted to eat meat. It's so cold in the temple. He must have suffered a lot here."
Before Qin Songmo could answer, a male voice fell faintly into the ears of the father and daughter.
"I've suffered a lot. Even if I want to eat a beggar's chicken at night, I have to be sneaky. It's too hard."
Chu Yi held a stack of banknotes in his hand and silently wiped the dry corners of his eyes with them.
Seeing both father and daughter looking at him, he immediately stood up straight and said seriously, "When do we leave? I can't wait!"
Qin Songmo took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice, "Prince Yi, the sixth son of the late emperor, loves to raise flowers and play with birds. He is the least likely prince to compete with Your Majesty for the throne..."
"But because that bastard Chu Hong teased my sister, Princess An Ning, and caused her to lose her life, I nearly cost Chu Hong half his life in order to avenge her."
Chu Yi shrugged and spread his hands helplessly, "Although he almost took half of my life later, it's a tit for tat. Now that he's dead, it feels so good, hahahahaha..."
I have been in Huguo Temple for nearly ten years.
Chu Yi has also changed from the idle prince of the past to a man with wrinkles on his face due to the passage of time.
Li Shengyi looked at the traces of his smile and silently averted his gaze. "The new emperor will soon ascend the throne, and Great Chu will usher in a new era. Prince Yi will finally be able to redress his grievances."
Chu Yi nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, so when we go down the mountain, I want to eat meat, big mouthfuls of meat!"
Qin Songmo held his little daughter in his arms and looked deeply at the prince in front of him, whom he had befriended in his youth.
Finally, he withdrew his gaze and made a 'please' gesture, "Your Highness, please come this way."
The journey down the mountain was a bit bumpy, and Li Shengyi was held in her father's arms the whole time.
Chu Yi sat on one side of the carriage. Apart from occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside the carriage, what he saw most was the interaction between the father and daughter.
After seeing Li Shengyi feeding Qin Songmo a piece of pea yellow, he couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.
"Could you two, father and daughter, stop being so clingy?"
Li Shengyi opened his mouth and bit off a piece of pea yellow, and his little face was immediately stuffed full.
Hearing Chu Yi's voice, she raised her head and met his eyes.
There was an innocent look in those cat-like almond-shaped eyes, as if asking him "what's wrong".
Chu Yi suddenly felt choked.
He raised his eyes to look at Qin Songmo who was enjoying his daughter's service, and said with an expression that was hard to describe, "Yuan Qing, you were not like this before."
In the past, Qin Songmo was like a mountain, and no one could ever reach the top.
Even with this idle prince, Qin Songmo was only superficially acquainted with him. It was not until he was sent to the Huguo Temple that the two of them began to interact frequently.
After being used to seeing Qin Songmo's image as a flower on the mountaintop, now I see him doting on his daughter.
Chu Yi couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
Qin Songmo, who was named, raised his head and smiled at him, "Shengyi is my favorite child."
Chu Yi waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly, "Alright, alright, I know you like your daughter."
"But your daughter is indeed very clever and quirky. I would like her too."
Just as he finished speaking, Chu Yi, feeling a cold gaze falling on him, suddenly withdrew his gaze from Li Shengyi.
He raised his hand and patted his chest, and a resentful look appeared on his face as he was almost glared at by Qin Songmo.
Didn't he just say that he liked Li Shengyi's personality? Did the other party have to look at him like that?
On the way back, Chu Yi didn't dare to look around anymore.
Only when the carriage stopped outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion did he open his eyes, which had been closed for rest.
Before he could jump off the carriage, he heard a familiar voice outside the carriage.
"Daddy's kindness, have you missed me since you were away for so long?"
The curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and Chu Yi just stuck his head out of the carriage, when he was shocked by the enlarged face in front of him and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"What the hell! Is there an assassin?!"
