However, before Xuandi could react to what happened last night, a piece of wood was stuffed into his arms.
Immediately afterwards, the little boy rummaged through the basket and stuffed all the small wooden blocks into Xuan Di's arms. Then, his bright black grape eyes stared straight at him, his little mouth pouting, looking like a fierce little landlord.
Xuandi looked down at the wooden block in his hand, then at his younger sister's silly and innocent eyes, and couldn't help but rub his temples and sigh with worry.
The little baby made a soft, childish "humming" sound.
Xuan Di immediately lost his temper. He looked up and saw his little tyrant pouting. He had no choice but to suppress his annoyance for the time being. He smiled helplessly and coaxed her affectionately, "Alright, alright, Fifth Brother will do it for Niannian!"
As he spoke, Xuandi hugged his younger sister and, following her wishes, helped her put the wooden blocks into the small square.
He didn't unleash his fury in front of his sister, but instead glanced at Zhuang You with an icy, imposing look, the implication clear.
Although Zhuang You was happy to see Xuan Di make a fool of himself, she was still afraid if Xuan Di really got angry. She immediately lost her leisurely mood and stepped forward to "invite" Hua Xiao away.
"Alright, now that the Fifth Young Master has arrived, this is His Highness the Crown Prince's bedroom after all. It's not appropriate for a young lady like you to stay here indefinitely. Just go back to Qinghua Tower and wait. When our little princess wants to play with you, someone will come to find you."
Without a word, Zhuang You led Hua Xiao outside, a faint, indifferent smile playing on her lips.
She was still the same gentle older sister as yesterday, but when Hua Xiao looked at Zhuang You, she couldn't help but tremble and dared not say a word against her.
She clenched her hands in her sleeves and responded softly, "Yes."
Inside the house, the little girl, sitting on her older brother's lap, rested her head on her arm, her head nestled on her brother's forearm, intently watching her brother's long, slender fingers move back and forth in front of her.
"Here, here!" The little dumpling pointed with his short, chubby little finger, his dimples sinking in happily, his eyes sparkling like countless stars, and he smiled, his face rosy and sweet.
When Zhuangyou returned, she saw this heartwarming scene, and her cold brows warmed up like branches.
She knew that although Xuandi was a bit playful, he was extremely good to his younger sister. Otherwise, with his unrestrained and carefree nature, would he have the patience to sit down and play with a little baby?
Look at him, in order to prevent his sister from being lured away by that sesame-filled little prince, he even went so far as to personally try to seduce him. How many brothers would do something like that for their sister?
Xuan, the good brother, Di Shang, was unaware of Zhuang You's thoughts, which is why he could still laugh.
Meeting the adorable smile of the little baby, he smiled faintly in return, and following the baby's wishes, he embedded the last piece of wood into its perfectly fitting shape.
"Fifth brother, when are we going out to play?" The little girl happily hugged the wooden grid her brother had helped her assemble, her bright eyes blinking as she looked at Xuan Di with anticipation.
Xuandi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look outside, his long eyebrows furrowing slightly. He glanced at the little eunuch peeking in at the door and asked, "Where is your prince? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
The person standing at the door was Fu Man, whom Huo Chengche had left behind. He was so frightened by the battle last night that he was still pale. As soon as he heard Xuan Di's voice, he immediately thought of Xuan Di's gaze last night, which was cold, sharp, and terrifying.
Upon hearing Xuandi's words, Fuman shuddered.
Then he immediately went into the house with a smile on his face and bowed respectfully, saying, "Reporting to the Fifth Young Master, our Highness has been summoned to Shouci Palace by the Empress Dowager and should be having breakfast with her."
“Shouci Palace? Why did the Empress Dowager summon him there so early in the morning?” Xuandi asked, frowning.
