"This kid!" Duke Zhongwu patted his clothes, chuckled and scolded, seemingly not taking it to heart, and went to knock on the door.
Huo Chengche had just dismounted with the little baby in his arms when Xuandi tugged at his arm.
"What's wrong?" Huo Chengche looked over and saw Xuan Di handing him a slip of paper—
Enter through the back gate of Princess Linhuang's residence.
Are these servants following them Princess Linhuang's men? What does she want to do, waiting for them at the palace gate?
His thoughts raced through his mind, and Huo Chengche withdrew his gaze, his dark eyes unfathomable.
Soon, Duke Zhongwu opened the gates of the Jingzhao Prefecture. When the yamen runners saw that it was Duke Zhongwu standing outside, they hurriedly went in and invited Liang Sheng, the Prefect of Jingzhao, out.
As soon as Liang Sheng stepped out, he bowed to Duke Zhongwu with a fawning smile, but then turned his head at the Duke's signal and his old face froze—why is this little ancestor here again!
Looking at Liang Sheng's tearful face, Duke Zhongwu felt a strange sense of balance—look, he wasn't the only one being bullied by these two brats, was he?
“Lord Liang, it’s not appropriate to stand at the door. Let’s go inside and talk,” Duke Zhongwu said with a smile, pulling the stiff Liang Sheng through the gate.
As soon as I entered, oh my, there was a row of small baskets in the yard, each covered with a floral cloth, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
However, why are these yamen runners all forming a large circle at a distance, not even bothering to greet them when they arrive?
Suddenly, Duke Zhongwu felt the arm he was holding tighten. He subconsciously increased his grip, but found that Liang Sheng refused to take another step forward.
Duke Zhongwu turned around in confusion and met Liang Sheng's smile, which was more like a grimace. Confused, he asked, "Lord Liang, what's wrong?"
Huo Chengche carried the baby through the door, and when he saw the two people locked in a stalemate in front of him, and then saw the basket in the yard, he immediately understood.
"Oh! They're the babies born to Fatty Tuan Tuan's wife!" The little baby's nose twitched, and her watery eyes immediately lit up with excitement. Her bright eyes fell on the basket with surprise, and she kicked her short legs to make her brother, the prince, put her down.
Huo Chengche smiled sweetly and squatted down to put her on the ground.
The little bundle immediately ran over happily, squatted down next to the basket, and carefully lifted a corner of the first basket.
Inside was a small, milky-white ball of fluff, curled up into a tiny ball. Perhaps disturbed from its sweet dreams, its soft fur twitched slightly in the sunlight.
This little guy has never seen such a tiny tiger cub before!
There are no tigresses in the Prince Hengchang's mansion, so of course there won't be any tiger cubs. The little baby looked at the cute little ball of flesh and couldn't wait to stick out his little finger and gently poke his chubby, furry little bottom.
"Giggle~"
Joyful laughter immediately filled the courtyard, and Liang Sheng, who was watching this scene with trepidation, was completely dumbfounded.
Those are tiger cubs! Not puppies! Even a kitten can scratch people, let alone a tiger cub. If the mother tiger comes looking for them by scent, they'll all be torn to shreds!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you see our place is too small, why don't you send these little darlings away? Your humble servant will do his job well and will never slack off!"
