Chapter 264 The Golden-Toothed Prince
Chiu Chiu sadly hugged her chubby self, guessing that she would lose at least two ounces of weight after all this commotion.
Sigh, I can't make wishes so easily anymore.
The new skill has a kind of magical power that makes you disregard your own life or death!
The prince brought in a hot water bottle and scolded Qiuqiu with a stern face: "Lie flat and put your hands by your sides."
Chiu Chiu gave him a mournful look and then obediently did as he was told. The Crown Prince gently placed the hot water bottle wrapped in a cloth on Chiu Chiu's belly and then spun it around. The Crown Prince, who had never done any serving work before, tried his best to make the hot water even.
Lu Diandian lay down beside her and asked Qiuqiu, "Have you lost weight? If it helps, I want to be even slimmer."
The prince frowned. "Little one, are you talking to Chiu Chiu?"
Lu Diandian: "Yes, Qiuqiu wished she could be thinner, and Diandian wants to be too!"
The prince, seized by a playful impulse, pressed Lu Diandian's forehead and pushed her down onto the blanket next to Qiuqiu. He glanced at Qiuqiu, and the smile on his lips vanished instantly. He warned the other two children, "You're not allowed to imitate Qiuqiu. The imperial physician said Qiuqiu ate too much and got a stomachache!"
Meeting her friend's questioning gaze, Chiu Chiu froze completely. "Eat something bad... tummy?"
"I have a weak stomach and spleen," the prince said helplessly. "Do you eat like this at home too?"
Chiu Chiu checked her fingers, but still didn't betray her older sister, Dot Dot. The snacks this morning didn't taste quite right... Trusting her little sister, she ate them all without a second thought.
Oh, I'm such a poor little girl!
Because of diarrhea, Qiuqiu had to rest in the palace for a few more days. She followed Fu Ning around the palace all day long. Finally, one day, the three little ones were caught by the Third Prince in the Imperial Garden.
"You three are quite bold, daring to break the plum blossom that Father Emperor loves most!"
Chirp, with her back to the person, thought, "What bad luck! I ran into an annoying person!"
Fu Ning and Lu Diandian strongly agreed.
Fu Ning turned around, spread her arms, and blocked the two of them, glaring at the Third Prince with displeasure: "Get out of the way!"
The Third Prince pursed his lips, his expression unfriendly. He stared at Qiuqiu for a long time before suddenly laughing, "Little thing, the Turkic envoy will be arriving in the capital in two months. I wonder how long you and your older brother can keep laughing!"
The envoy who came this time was the Turkic Khaganate's queen, and also the older sister of Hanaru, the unlucky guy whose head was chopped off by Su Jinze!
The two countries have been at war for years, and the Great Zhou also needs to recuperate. Both sides need to make concessions for a ceasefire. It's just unknown what excessive demands the Turks will make this time!
Su Jinze has humiliated the Turkic royal family; he's probably doomed this time!
Holding a sprig of plum blossom, Qiuqiu looked up at the Third Prince, who was laughing wildly, and couldn't understand why he was so confident.
If it were me, I wouldn't feel comfortable laughing like that.
I don't know if only gold is worthy of a prince's noble status, and I don't know what kind of aesthetic sense led him to have two incredibly ugly gold teeth.
The only redeeming feature of this third prince is his pitiful, male version of Xiaobaihua's face, but now these two gold teeth ruin his beauty.
And you still laugh at her like that?
My older brother is so amazing, he wouldn't be threatened by that ugly monster!
Lu Diandian shouted, "Ugly monster!"
Fu Ning: "Yes, yes, yes!"
The Third Prince's bared teeth immediately disappeared; he covered his mouth, both angry and annoyed. Seeing that he was about to go berserk, Qiuqiu pulled her two friends back half a step, watching the Third Prince warily and searching for an escape route out of the corner of her eye.
He almost fell to his death the last time he made that face!
"What are you doing, Third Prince?" Before the Third Prince could make a move, the Crown Prince emerged from around the corner amidst the greenery. "Your injury?"
"Alright!" The Third Prince immediately lowered his slightly raised hand. "Brother, let's not mention this matter again."
It's hardly something to be proud of; he's now the laughingstock of the entire capital. He can only lament that the Phoenix Palace is his nemesis!
The Crown Prince understood him and didn't pursue the matter further. He glanced back at the three pitiful-looking little dumplings and looked at the Third Prince suspiciously: "Did you bully them?"
The third prince almost jumped up, "I...I bullied them, do you know they cursed at me...Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying?"
"I didn't lay a finger on you!"
This time he was truly innocent. He really didn't lay a hand on them and was even called an ugly monster by the three of them. He didn't even cry, yet the three of them had the nerve to cry?
The moment the Crown Prince appeared, Lu Diandian whispered something to her two little sisters—cry!
A child's crying can solve all problems; if that doesn't work, all three of them can cry together.
The third prince's harsh words made the three of them cry even harder.
The Crown Prince frowned deeply, and no matter how the Third Prince explained, it didn't work.
Lu Diandian was very good at crying; she wailed so loudly that she seemed to want to turn the palace upside down. Qiuqiu looked aggrieved, and the chubby little girl with tears in her eyes still showed traces of the Third Prince. Fu Ning, on the other hand, was just wailing at the top of her lungs, and there were actually some tears in the corners of her eyes.
The Crown Prince believed that Lu Diandian and Qiuqiu were faking their tears, but as for Fu Ning faking his tears, not only did he not believe it, but almost no one in the entire palace believed it either.
If you don't push her too far, she's too lazy to even open her mouth, so how can you expect her to pretend to cry?
Crown Prince: "You know, Fu Ning doesn't usually cry."
The third prince flew into a rage: "Brother, you weren't like this before! You know, how could I possibly bully a child?"
The Crown Prince turned around and picked up Fu Ning. Seeing that Qiu Qiu was clinging to his leg, he had no choice but to pick her up as well. With her on both sides, he almost threw her off. There was also Lu Diandian who wouldn't let go of his clothes and almost pulled his pants down.
He's so lucky to have them!
"Third brother, I will now escort them back to the Empress Dowager's palace." The Crown Prince paused in his departing steps, and Lu Diandian bumped into him without noticing, causing him to stumble.
He steadied himself, a touch of melancholy creeping into his heart as he recalled the rumors he'd overheard about his third brother. They had grown up together since childhood, and though not blood brothers, their bond was genuine.
Regardless, he should remind him: "Third brother, some things are not as simple as you think. Don't touch what you shouldn't touch."
The Third Prince's face turned cold, but he didn't say anything.
Having said all he needed to say, the Crown Prince left the Imperial Garden with his three little children.
After everyone left, the Third Prince kicked the plum tree, and petals fell, covering his head in pale pink.
His expression was icy: "Don't touch what you shouldn't touch? Finally, you can't keep up the act anymore?"
"Ha, we're both sons of the Emperor, if you can be the Crown Prince, so can I!"
Another kick landed on the tree, and the petals of the flowering plum were almost all fallen, leaving the bare trunk looking extremely ugly.
Eunuch Liu's shrill voice rang out: "Third Prince, how could you have kicked Meirenmei like this!"
"Oh dear, you can't take your anger out on His Majesty's precious treasure!"
