Chapter 664 This personality, I like it.
A loud whistle rang out.
The little black dogs, Dahei and Xiaohei, along with Dabai and Erbai, who were playing wildly at the entrance of the courtyard, came running over following the sound.
Every time Zhao Sidan whistles this tune, it means there's time to take them out for some fresh air. The white geese can swim and play in the river, while the wolves can go hunting in the mountains. So these guys are all very excited.
They surrounded Zhao Sidan, being incredibly enthusiastic.
Zhao Sidan patted their heads one by one and whispered, "See that man in the yard? He's a bad guy. Go and bully him. Whoever does the best, I'll take them out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Dot let out a howl and revealed its ferocious nature.
“There’s no need to be so fierce…” Zhao Sidan coughed. “Just scare him a little, but don’t bite anyone, or I won’t be able to protect you.”
Little Dot rubbed against its little owner's hand and led the way inside. A dog, two wolves, and four white geese swarmed in.
Cheng Wanwan was explaining the layout of the courtyard to the King of Qin when she saw this scene. She frowned slightly. Generally, these little ones wouldn't barge in so rudely when she was entertaining guests, which meant—
She turned her head and, sure enough, saw Zhao Sidan standing at the gate of the courtyard, winking at her.
She glared at Zhao Sidan, then turned to stop the wolves from causing trouble.
This is the only prince in the current dynasty, deeply favored by the emperor and empress dowager. If he gets injured here, how will she explain it?
"Keep it down!" Cheng Wanwan raised her voice. "No nonsense! Da Bai, take your men out..."
"Wait a minute!" King Qin's eyes lit up. "So there really are wolves in Dahe Town. And this big white goose can even understand human speech. My royal brother was right."
When he returned to the capital at the beginning of the year, he encountered a gray wolf and a large white goose in the palace. He fell in love with them at first sight and shamelessly asked his elder brother for them.
His elder brother said that the wolf and goose came from Dahe Town and were very precious, so he just couldn't bear to give them to him, which disappointed him for a long time.
Now that he's encountered one, he's determined to kidnap a wolf so that he can have one following him around in the future—it sounds incredibly cool.
"Lady Sui, bring them over." The King of Qin beckoned. "This wolf is quite spirited. What's its name again?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the fur on Little Dot's head.
Little Dot suddenly raised its head, bared its teeth, and bit the King of Qin's wrist.
The two guards standing behind the King of Qin were immediately alarmed and drew their swords, aiming at Xiao Dian's head.
"Wait!"
Cheng Wanwan screamed in surprise.
She walked over and gently pinched Xiaodian's jawbone, and the wolf's mouth opened, leaving not even a tooth mark on the King of Qin's wrist.
“Xiao Dian was just playing around with the King of Qin,” she said with a smile. “But Xiao Dian still has a wild streak, so it’s really not appropriate for her to appear in front of the King of Qin. Si Dan, come here and take Xiao Dian and the others away.”
Zhao Sidan was also startled.
His original intention was to scare away the King of Qin with the wild wolves and the white goose, but he almost caused Xiao Dian's death.
The King of Qin quickly said, "After all, it is a wolf. How can it not have wildness? I like this nature, so let it stay here with me."
Cheng Wanwan could tolerate and accept many of the King of Qin's unreasonable demands, but she could not accept putting her family in danger.
Little Dot has been in her yard for two or three years and has long become an indispensable pet family member in her life. If Little Dot were to stay here and offend the King of Qin, the two guards behind the King of Qin would not hesitate to cut off Little Dot's head.
She said firmly, "Little Dot is still a wolf. If it were to injure the King of Qin, the lives of dozens of people in my household would be more than enough to compensate for it. If the King of Qin likes Little Dot, he can play with it when someone is around. Si Dan, quickly take Little Dot and the others away!"
Zhao Sidan didn't dare to delay. He grabbed the small goose by the neck with one hand and the big white goose by the neck with the other, and quickly ran out of the yard.
The King of Qin could only sigh regretfully.
However, he lives here and has plenty of opportunities, so there's no need to rush.
Cheng Wanwan curtsied and took her leave.
As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, she grabbed Zhao Sidan and asked in a cold voice, "What were you trying to do just now?"
Zhao Sidan lowered his head and said, "That King Qin has ill intentions. I don't want him to live in my house, so I want Xiaodian and Dabai to scare him away."
“You’re just being childish,” Cheng Wanwan’s tone softened. “That man is the only prince of the Great Yu Dynasty, the Empress Dowager’s own son, and the Emperor’s own brother. If something happens to him in Dahe Town, your mother won’t be able to cover it up.”
Zhao Sidan nodded vigorously: "Mom, I will never dare to do it again, I promise."
Cheng Wanwan told him to go back to his courtyard and read, and not to hang around in front of the King of Qin unless necessary.
She got up and went to the kitchen to ask Granny Ma to prepare some dishes from the capital and send them to Prince Qin's courtyard.
Granny Ma herself was from the capital and had served nobles in the palace, so she naturally knew what the royal family liked to eat. Actually, what they ate was secondary; the main thing was to have that kind of pomp and circumstance.
She prepared thirty-six dishes, portioned them into small plates, and had the maids file them over.
Thirty-six dishes may sound like a lot, but in fact, it was a bit meager for the King of Qin. He had always been accustomed to the highest standards in everything he ate, wore, lived, and traveled since childhood.
Two trusted aides served the King of Qin his meal.
He took a bite of each dish but didn't taste anything particularly special, and soon put down his chopsticks.
Just as he was about to have the plates cleared away, he saw a short, glutinous rice ball looking at him from the courtyard gate. Its eyes were as clear as glass and very endearing.
He beckoned: "Come here."
This little glutinous rice ball is none other than Zhao Yuezhu, who just turned three years old this year. She is exceptionally nimble in both walking and talking.
She ran over, pointed to a plate of pastries on the table, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "This is so delicious! Why did you only eat one bite and then stop?"
She loves this dessert, but her grandmother says it's too sweet and bad for her teeth, so she can only eat it once every five days, and only a small piece at a time. But this person came to her house and ate a whole plateful by himself, making her mouth water.
The King of Qin looked at her with great interest: "Answer me a question, and I'll give you a pastry, how about it?"
Zhao Yuezhu nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay."
"What's your name? Whose child are you?" The King of Qin picked up a piece of pastry. "How did you end up in my courtyard?"
Zhao Yuezhu held up three chubby fingers: "You've asked three questions, so you should give me three snacks."
The King of Qin couldn't help but chuckle. It was the first time he had ever seen a child who dared to bargain with him. This little girl was truly amusing.
He took out three pieces of pastry: "Is this enough?"
“My name is Zhao Yuezhu, and I’m from this family.” Zhao Yuezhu answered the question seriously. “Also, this isn’t your yard. It’s where my grandmother reads. I often come here to see her. Why are you living in the yard where my grandmother reads?”
The King of Qin paused, pointing a finger: "Grandma?"
His guard reminded him, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, the eldest granddaughter of the Sui Gong family."
