Chapter 363 It’s Impossible to Stay There Forever
Under the blue night sky, Li Suining stood obediently, watching the Queen and others leave in a mighty manner.
At this time, Shaoyao was standing not far away. From the back, the little girl seemed a little confused. In the huge palace, she was just such a small ball, standing alone, which was really heartbreaking.
"Princess Suining!" Shaoyao saw that the queen had gone far away and immediately squatted in front of the little girl. "Are you okay?"
Little Dumpling shook her head, but in the darkness, one could see tears in her big eyes.
"Sister Shaoyao, I won't hurt my brother, the Crown Prince." She said aggrievedly, "I really won't."
"What did the county lady say?" Shaoyao was heartbroken and reached out to carefully wipe Li Suining's tears. "No one said you would hurt the prince. The prince is very happy that you are here, and we are all very happy."
The little girl's voice became even quieter. "But... I am now the daughter of a criminal, but my father will not rebel. He won't."
"County Lady, stop imagining this." Shaoyao couldn't help but gently hugged the little girl. "The Crown Prince believes that General Bai was wrongly accused, and the entire Eastern Palace believes it. Therefore, you are not the daughter of a criminal."
"Thank you, Sister Shaoyao." After hearing this, the little dumpling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shaoyao took her hand and walked her back, telling her gently along the way not to think too much, that everyone in the East Palace liked her very much, and that the matter of General Bai would definitely be investigated soon.
While listening, the little girl looked up at the stars in the sky.
She wondered if she would be able to see the two distinguished guests in the palace tomorrow.
As a result, the stars quickly gave her the answer: she wouldn't be able to see them tomorrow.
Little Tuanzi was a little disappointed. She wanted to see them soon and rescue her father and brothers as soon as possible.
Soon, she had an idea and planned to go out and find them herself tomorrow.
Li Suining slept well that night.
The next morning, after breakfast, Yuan Huaihong started studying, while Xiaotuanzi was taken by Shaoyao to play in the courtyard of the East Palace.
Li Suining was wearing the fifth prince's clothes, covered tightly, and playing with a wooden ball.
She played alone for an hour and felt a little tired, so she ran to Shaoyao with her short legs.
"Sister Shaoyao, I want to go out for a walk." She tilted her little head back and said in a baby voice.
"Of course, I will accompany the county lady out." Shaoyao followed carefully behind. In her eyes, Li Suining was no different from other young masters in the palace.
The master and the servant quickly left the East Palace.
But the palace was too big, with palaces of all sizes everywhere. It was not easy for Li Suining, who was only four years old, to find two people.
So she stood at the gate of the East Palace, thought about it, and quickly chose a direction.
It is in that direction that the future emperor lives.
"Sui Ning County Lady!" Shaoyao saw the little girl finally take a step, but the direction she was walking was a little...unexpected. She immediately asked curiously, "Where do you want to go?"
The little dumpling shook his head and said, "I just want to take a walk."
She noticed Shaoyao's expression and immediately asked sensibly, "What's wrong? Sister Shaoyao, can't we go over there?"
"Of course not." Shaoyao immediately shook her head.
After all, there are many palaces in the direction that Xiaotuanzi pointed, and Xiaotuanzi doesn't have to go there.
She smiled gently, "County Lady Suining, let's go."
"Yeah." The little dumpling squinted his eyes happily and walked in that direction.
Just after the two of them left, Eunuch Cao, who was beside the emperor, arrived.
"Your Highness, where is Princess Suining?" Eunuch Cao said with a smile. "The Emperor has asked me to invite her over to introduce her to the two distinguished guests."
Yuan Huaihong frowned. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Suining had just entered the East Palace last night, and the emperor sent someone to invite him this morning.
He thought that the emperor would forget about this matter, or would wait a few days before letting Li Suining go.
But no matter what, he didn't want Xiaotuanzi to meet those two distinguished guests.
"It's really unfortunate, Eunuch Cao, that Princess Suining is not in the East Palace right now. I'm afraid I don't know where she went to play."
Yuan Huaihong curled his lips and said, "How about this, you go back and tell Father, and then find a chance to arrange a meeting between them. Let Princess Suining get acquainted with the palace for a few days first."
"Yes, I understand. I will go back and report to the emperor right away." Eunuch Cao instantly understood what Yuan Huaihong meant. Without saying anything more, he hurried back.
After returning to the Yangxin Palace, he immediately told Yuan Tianchen what Yuan Huaihong meant, "Your Majesty, it seems that the Crown Prince wants to keep the child in the Eastern Palace for a few more days."
Yuan Tianchen frowned. He could see that the prince liked the dumpling very much, but what Zuo Sixian said... He thought about it and made a decision quickly.
"Then let him do what he wants." He instructed Eunuch Cao again, "But after a few days, remember to remind me to call Li Suining over again. He can stay a few more days, but he can't stay forever."
"Yes, I understand." Eunuch Cao secretly took note of the emperor's instructions.
At the same time, Xiaotuanzi walked to the door of a particularly luxurious palace.
She raised her head with great effort and looked curiously at the large golden characters on the vermilion gate. Unfortunately, she didn't recognize any of them.
"Princess Suining," Shaoyao reminded her with a smile, "This is Yonghua Palace, the residence of Imperial Concubine Yi."
Concubine Yi... A gentle and elegant face appeared in Li Suining's mind.
At this moment, a wooden ball suddenly flew out from the vermilion gate and happened to land at the feet of the little ball.
"Ball, ball..." Then, a baby's unclear voice came from inside.
Li Suining turned her head curiously and saw a child about the same height as her standing on the high threshold.
At this moment, the child's big round eyes were looking at her without blinking.
"It's the Fifth Prince!" Shaoyao recognized him and immediately pulled Xiaotuanzi, "County Lady, it's the Fifth Prince."
She quickly knelt behind Li Suining and said, "This servant greets the Fifth Prince."
The little dumpling stood there without moving.
Inside the gate, the little guy, who was only half the height of the threshold, was struggling to run out.
His chubby little body finally climbed over the threshold and sat down on the ground. Li Suining even heard a "bang".
Immediately afterwards, the fifth prince was seen sitting on the ground, looking at Li Suining with grievance, and it seemed that he was about to cry.
"Little brother, are you okay?" Little Dumpling ran over and grabbed the fifth prince's hand, "I'll pull you up."
Although the fifth prince is also a little fat, he looks much smaller than Li Changan. Li Suining feels that he can definitely pull him up.
But to her surprise, even though she tried her best and her forehead was sweating, the Fifth Prince still sat there, motionless.
Li Suining was panting with exhaustion. When their eyes met, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so heavy?"
