Chapter 389 Nothing is set in stone
Yuan Huaihong stopped at the door and turned around. Light shone into the hall from behind him. His face was in the shadow and his expression could not be seen clearly, but his voice was particularly clear in the silent hall.
"A chess piece?" He sneered, "Haven't I always been a chess piece in your hands?"
Shangguan Jinglan's expression changed slightly. She opened her mouth to say something, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
Yuan Huaihong left quickly.
Shangguan Jinglan turned to look at Yuan Tianchen. For the first time, she looked a little bewildered. "Your Majesty, Hong'er..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Wen Renli stood up. His calm voice had a power that could soothe people. "The Crown Prince is still young and doesn't understand your good intentions. But I believe that one day, he will understand and be grateful for the cultivation of Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
Yuan Tianchen was the first to come back to his senses and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Queen, don't worry, Hong'er will understand in the future."
Shangguan Jinglan tried hard to hold back her tears. She immediately thought of something and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Li Suining...that Li Suining can no longer stay in the Eastern Palace."
"Don't worry, I'll send her back to the Censorate as soon as I'm fine." Yuan Tianchen patted Shangguan Jinglan's back gently to reassure her.
After hearing his words, Shangguan Jinglan finally felt relieved.
On the other side, Li Suining ran out of the Yangxin Palace and searched for a long time before finally finding Yuan Xiaonian. He was actually hiding in the rockery next to him.
The gap in the rockery is not very big, but it is suitable for two people, one big and one small, to stand there.
Yuan Xiaonian leaned lightly against the rockery behind him, lowering his eyes to look at Tuanzi in front of him, "I thought you wouldn't come out."
"Why?" Li Suining was wearing a red dress, with only the collar covered with snow-white fur, which made her little face look even whiter and more delicate.
She looked particularly weak in front of Yuan Xiaonian, a tiny ball, looking up at him with her little head tilted back.
Yuan Xiaonian remained indifferent. "Being sent out of the palace, or... unwilling to come out."
"No." Li Suining looked very happy. In fact, she knew last night that she would not be sent away today, so she was not too worried.
She said to Yuan Xiaonian with a smile, "Uncle Wen said that the emperor will not send me out today."
"Did he say that?" Yuan Xiaonian raised his eyebrows in disdain, obviously not having a good impression of this person.
The little dumpling nodded vigorously, then immediately corrected himself, "To be precise, it's precognition."
Thinking of what happened in the side hall, she was still a little worried.
If Fuxing is really like her and can talk to the stars, will she be a match for Fuxing?
She couldn't help but think of Fuxing playing with Luban ball. It was so fast. This little sister was so smart.
She continued to say to Yuan Xiaonian, "Uncle Wen said that Sister Fuxing can talk to the stars and predict the future. So, they already knew that the emperor would not send me away today."
"Do you believe it?" Yuan Xiaonian asked her with a smile.
Little Dumpling didn't know how to answer, so she asked back, "Where's the Second Prince? Do you believe it?"
"It's credible, but not necessarily true." Yuan Xiaonian gave this answer. He continued, "After all, the future is in the hands of the present."
He suddenly curled his lips into a smile, lowered his body, and brought his handsome face closer to the little girl. "Li Suining, do you believe that I can predict the future?"
Li Suining subconsciously took a small step back. The Second Prince's face and eyes were too sharp. When he got too close, she couldn't help but feel scared.
But she was still very curious, staring with her clear eyes and asking, "Is it true? Can the Second Prince also predict the future?"
Yuan Xiao laughed young, "I know... I'll send you to the cold palace soon."
"kindness?"
Before the little girl could react, Yuan Xiaonian's big hand reached out and grabbed the little girl's clothes on her back.
In an instant, the little dumpling's feet left the ground. Didn't it mean that his whole body was lifted up?
Yuan Xiaonian carried her towards the cold palace, smiling as he walked and asked, "How is it? Was my prediction accurate?"
The little girl was terrified and covered her eyes tightly with her two hands, "Second Prince, please put me down quickly."
Yuan Xiaonian still held on tightly, showing no intention of letting go. He deliberately asked jokingly, "You haven't answered me yet. Do you believe it or not?"
"I believe it, I believe it!" Li Suining was really a little scared. "Second Prince is the most powerful brother, let me down!"
Yuan Xiao laughed young and finally put the man on the ground.
The moment Li Suining landed on the ground, she felt dizzy. Subconsciously, she hugged Yuan Xiaonian's calf, still not daring to open her eyes.
Yuan Xiaonian stood there and let her hold him for a while. Soon, he saw the worried look of the maid who was following him not far away.
He shook his legs and said coldly, "Let go, or your maid will go to the East Palace to complain."
Li Suining slowly opened her eyes and saw Shaoyao looking at her worriedly. She was still holding Yuan Xiaonian's legs, but she forced a big smile at Shaoyao, indicating that she was fine.
Yuan Xiaonian took it all in and couldn't help but snort.
Little Dumpling stood there for a while. Strangely, she was a little scared just now, but after Yuan Xiaonian's mischief, she really calmed down a lot.
Yes, she is someone who can really talk to the stars, and she also knows that the future is in the hands of the present.
Therefore, as long as she doesn't give up and keeps working hard, she will definitely be able to rescue her father and brothers.
As long as things don't reach the last moment, nothing is set in stone.
Thinking of all this, Li Suining raised his head and smiled at Yuan Xiaonian, "Thank you, Second Prince."
Yuan Xiaonian frowned in confusion. He had just teased this little girl, and she actually thanked him?
He was a little confused, but when he saw the little dumpling smiling and squinting his eyes, he found it pleasing to the eye.
Soon, the two were sent to the cold palace.
Concubine Jing had been extremely worried and had been waiting at the door. When she saw the person finally come back, she quickly waved.
"Empress Jing!" The little dumpling ran very fast and rushed into Empress Jing's arms.
"My dear Le Ping is finally here," Concubine Jing was very happy. She picked up Li Suining and ran into the house. "Come in quickly. It's cold outside. Don't let your little baby get frozen."
"Hehe!" Li Suining hugged Concubine Jing's neck and acted coquettishly, and then sensibly instructed her, "Your Majesty, don't wait outside in the future. Don't freeze to death. Leping will be sad too."
"Okay! Mother will listen to Xiao Leping and won't go out anymore." Concubine Jing obviously always listened to her daughter.
The mother and daughter entered the house. Concubine Jing took out some wool and asked Li Suining to choose. "Leping, take a look. Which color do you like? How about I knit you a pair of gloves?"
"Really? Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Suining was very happy and quickly chose pink and purple yarns.
She saw Yuan Xiaonian standing at the door angrily, and said to Concubine Jing, "Madam, can you knit one for the Second Prince as well?"
