Li Shengyi's silence completely made Chu Huaize anxious.
Just as the latter was about to hit himself, a skinny little hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Hush, what do you see there?"
Looking in the direction of Li Shengyi's finger, Chu Huaize saw a small insect with a fluorescent tail, and his eyes, which were already as big as cat pupils, suddenly became a little bigger.
"It's a firefly!"
The little prince who grew up in the palace had his food, clothing, housing and transportation all arranged by the palace staff.
His every move, even every word and action, must be based on other people's expectations.
In addition, his brother is the current crown prince, so his words and actions cannot afford to be wrong.
Such a stuffy environment made him mature prematurely, but it also made him more pitiful.
Li Shengyi watched the little prince chasing fireflies with the corner of his clothes, and saw a childlike expression on his little face, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
When the little prince was tired of chasing her and came back to her, his big eyes were obviously brighter than before.
"Come on, I'll take you to my secret base!"
Qin Songmo followed Qingfeng's guidance and found the so-called secret base, which was actually the rockery in the imperial garden.
I happened to see two kids arguing with each other.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being caught by the palace servants, the two children's quarrel was not loud, but they lowered their voices.
When Qin Songmo walked up and heard the content of the two people's quarrel, he thought several times that there was something wrong with his ears, and even raised his hand to pick his ears.
However...
"My father also bought me a Ferghana horse and raised it in the royal hunting grounds. I will be able to ride it during the autumn hunt!"
It was the voice of the twelfth prince.
"My father bought me six golden rabbits, made of pure gold, solid gold. He can also buy me a Ferghana horse."
Li Shengyi's faintly proud voice came from the rockery.
"My father, my father has many descendants, and my father loves me very much!"
"Although my father only adopted me as his child, he still loves me."
"My father has many concubines, and they are all very beautiful!"
"There's not even a female mosquito in my father's house, but my father is handsome, my father is the most handsome!"
"My father has tasted all kinds of delicacies from land and sea!"
"My dad, uh, my dad can eat shit? Can your father eat shit?"
"Of course my father can! My father can eat a load of shit!"
"My father can eat ten loads!"
"My father..."
Qin Songmo, "...Li! Sheng! Yi!"
Li Shengyi, who was competing with the little prince, suddenly stiffened when he heard a familiar voice coming from outside.
She raised her eyes to look at the scene outside the rockery, and after confirming that she was not hallucinating, she turned her head to look at Chu Huaize beside her.
"Well, did you hear any other noises?"
The expression on Chu Huaize's little face was not much better than hers.
Swallowing hard, he nodded, "It's Prime Minister Qin."
[Oh no! It's over!]
Before Li Shengyi could walk out of the rockery to confess his guilt, the two children hiding inside the rockery heard knocking sounds outside.
"Li Shengyi, you'd better come out and explain. What do you mean by your dad can eat shit?!"
Li Shengyi pursed her lips, clutched the dress at hand, took a deep breath, and climbed out of the rockery with a dejected look on her face.
Her little head drooped, she looked down at the tip of her shoes, not daring to look up, "Well, Dad, listen to my excuse, ah no, listen to my explanation."
"I'm just joking with the Twelfth Prince. You know, children don't think before they speak."
Li Shengyi raised his hand and tapped his temple lightly, then gave a wry smile.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure almost as tall as herself rushing out from behind her.
She stretched her hands behind her and waved at the other person, signaling him to run quickly.
Chu Huaize originally wanted to come out and admit his mistake.
But after seeing Qin Songmo's eyes as dark as the bottom of a pot, he was so scared that his butt tightened.
Then he saw the gesture Li Shengyi made to him.
Chu Huaize, who was already frightened to the point of having his mind go blank, immediately bowed to Qin Songmo and said goodbye. He ran very fast with his short legs and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Qin Songmo saw this scene, the veins on his forehead jumped violently.
He looked down at his little daughter, and when he saw her tilting her head back and looking at him with innocent eyes, his hands suddenly clenched into fists.
"Li Shengyi, you've become quite capable. You even dared to 'collude' with the Twelfth Prince and even cover for him, huh?"
The little face, which didn't have much flesh to begin with, was pinched hard.
Li Shengyi howled in pain, and Qin Songmo was so scared that he quickly let go.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Taking advantage of the moment when Qin Songmo bent down to check the injuries on his face, Li Shengyi quickly hugged his arm and spoke softly.
"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things to the Twelfth Prince just now."
"Since this is my first offense, can you forgive me?"
"I swear, I will never talk nonsense outside again."
Only then did Qin Songmo realize that she was pretending to be in pain.
A hint of helplessness appeared between his brows, and he reached out and pinched her cheek again, "Even in front of me, you can't do that."
"Yeah, yeah, if I talk nonsense again, then, make my little golden rabbit disappear out of thin air and never come back, and Dad, you won't make me a new little golden rabbit anymore."
Qin Songmo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "You are willing to do so."
This is the money she needs to escape in the future.
How could I not be willing to sacrifice myself? You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child.
[I am now building a good relationship with the Twelfth Prince. Later, I will instill in him the secrets of Su Jinrou and Chu Huaifeng's improper relationship, and have him tell the Crown Prince about it. Wouldn't that establish the connection?]
[After all, the twelfth prince is still a child, and children are easy to deceive.]
Just as Qin Songmo was about to take her back to the palace banquet, the man she was thinking of paused.
He lowered his head to look at his little daughter, who was counting the bluestone slabs under her feet, with a complicated expression between his eyebrows.
The night wind blew across the cheeks of the father and daughter.
There are many flowers and plants planted in the imperial garden of the palace.
Now is the season when golden osmanthus is in full bloom. The fragrance of osmanthus is everywhere in the air, which is very refreshing.
Li Shengyi, who had just made a fuss, now completely turned into a quail, with her head dwindling, and obediently followed her father back to the palace banquet.
But just as the father and daughter were about to leave the imperial garden, a subtle moan suddenly reached their ears.
Father and daughter: ...
「Ahhh, ahhhhhhhh——」
[Oh my god, the main event has already begun?!]
[I'm so excited! What kind of expression should I put on this big event? Dad, let's go take a look, just for a moment, okay?!]
The scream that suddenly rang in my mind instantly drowned out the whimpering sound in my ears.
Qin Songmo frowned slightly and was about to pull his little daughter away when the moaning of a woman not far away suddenly became louder.
