Chapter 9: A kiss
"Cerebral Axe, Su Cerebellar Axe!"
Princess Zhaoyang opened her round grape eyes, opened her short arms, and leaned half of her body towards Su Tan, "Hold~"
Su Tan was stunned for a moment, and saw that Zhaoyang was really lovely, a touch of bright color in this very cold weather. Even his gloomy mood all day seemed to brighten a little with the little girl's smile.
She put away her sword and carefully took the little princess from Lu Zhiheng's arms.
The little pink ball was soft and fluffy. Su Tan gave her the jade pendant and suddenly remembered that Princess Zhaoyang was born in the year of the tiger, and the jade pendant was a perfect match for her.
"Do you like this little tiger?"
"I like it~ Brain Axe Brewing, Fairy Sister Brewing~"
The little princess held the small jade pendant in her hand and kissed Su Tan on the face.
"I like Xiao Naifu and I also like Fairy Sister~"
Su Tan was caught off guard by the kiss from the little pink ball, and he was a little confused and at a loss as to what to do.
It had been a long time since a child had been so close to her.
"The princess is so cute."
Su Tan said this.
Lu Zhiheng looked helplessly at Princess Zhaoyang who was clinging to Su Tan's arms. "Sui Sui is just like that. She clings to whoever she likes and won't let go. But she's also very brave and doesn't shy away from strangers at all."
Su Tan thought to himself that he was quite brave.
When ordinary children see a night-crying ghost, they are already frightened by its terrifying appearance.
Suisui, on the other hand, treated the little ghost as a playmate and always played with it without being afraid at all. She had no idea that her discomfort for such a long time was due to staying with this ghost brother.
But the world of children is inherently strange and bizarre.
Sui Sui clapped his hands, "Dad, give it to Fairy Sister, Sui Sui wants to give it to her~"
Lu Zhiheng raised his hand to support his forehead and said to Su Tan, who looked puzzled, "Sui Sui means that the plum blossoms in the palace are in full bloom, and he wants to pick one to give to you."
Su Tan curled his lips, his heart melted by the little girl's amusement. "You're picking flowers right after you recover from your illness. It's cold now, why don't you wait until the weather warms up before picking them?"
Sui Sui frowned and said, "Not good~"
Her voice was soft and sticky, and she tilted her head to look at her, "When it's warm, you can't see the fairy sister. The fairy sister only comes when Sui Sui is sick~"
Lu Suisui is young, but he has his own logic when thinking about things.
Su Tan came because the weather was cold and she was sick.
Then when the weather gets warmer and she recovers from her illness, she will definitely not be able to see Su Tan again.
If I don’t send Huahua to you now, I won’t be able to send her to you when I can’t see Fairy Sister in the future.
Su Tan couldn't help but curl his eyes as he listened to Lu Suisui talking about these things in a soft and sweet voice, and thought of Song Xiao at an inappropriate time.
Song Xiao has loved sweets since he was a child, especially those cloyingly sweet cakes.
He is in poor health, so eating these things will easily cause indigestion and he will definitely have a stomachache the next day.
When he was clamoring for candy, she coaxed him and said, "Can you eat it when you grow up?"
At that time, Song Xiao was not as easy to fool as Sui Sui. He turned his head away and snorted proudly, saying that when he grew up, he would not like to eat sweet cakes anymore.
At that time, she thought that children nowadays are really hard to deceive.
Lu Suisui stretched out her little hand and hugged Su Tan's neck, "Fairy sister, give me some~"
Just as Su Tan was about to persuade him, he heard Lu Zhiheng say, "Carry her and go pick the plum blossoms. If you don't let her go, she will definitely bypass the maids guarding the gate and run to pick the plum blossoms by night. By then, we may not be able to find her."
Lu Suisui tilted her little head back, her eyes filled with tiny starlight.
"Okay, let's go see Huahua."
Lu Zhiheng asked the maid to put thick gloves and a tiger-head hat on Lu Suisui, and then wrapped her in a thick cloak. It happened that the snow outside had stopped and the sun peeked out from behind the clouds.
Although it's not warm, it's not as cold as before.
Lu Suisui also refused to let Lu Zhiheng hug her and insisted on sticking to Su Tan.
Su Tan hasn't held a child for a long time.
In the past, she was heartbroken by her own child and could not get close to other children.
But Lu Suisui is so cute and adorable, and she lost her mother when she was young, which makes people feel particularly distressed about her.
She held Lu Suisui in her arms and went out with Prince Chen.
Unexpectedly, Song Tingchen and Liu Qingyin had not left yet.
She was holding a cute little girl in her arms. Lu Zhiheng reminded her to watch her step. When she raised her eyes, she was caught off guard and met Song Tingchen's eyes.
Song Tingchen's eyes suddenly became deep, and he stared intently at the jade pendant on Lu Suisui's neck.
He recognized this jade pendant.
The blood jade above was picked out from her own dowry and carved bit by bit by herself.
The red rope is mixed with gold and silver threads. That was Song Xiao's request. If you look closely, you can see that the texture on it was also woven according to Song Xiao's preferences.
However, one of the little tiger's legs was not yet finished being carved when something bad happened to the Su family.
During that period, Su Tan cried all the time and became much more silent.
After that, Song Tingchen never saw Su Tan carving the jade pendant again.
However, now, the jade pendant has been carved, and it is complete, exquisite and lifelike.
But it wasn’t hanging around Song Xiao’s neck.
The blood jade given to her by the wife of Duke Dingguo, which she carved with her own hands as a jade pendant for her child born after ten months of pregnancy, was just given away by her so casually.
It was difficult for Song Tingchen to describe his mood at the moment.
His eyes were deep and his face was as cold as a pond.
On the one hand, he felt that Su Tan was cruel and heartless and didn't care about Song Xiao's feelings at all.
On the other hand, he saw that Princess Zhaoyang Lu Suisui loved the jade pendant very much and treasured it, calling Su Tan "Fairy Sister" all the time. He couldn't help but think that if the jade pendant was given to Song Xiao, it goes without saying that Song Xiao might only be interested in it for a day or two.
Afterwards, it will be forgotten.
Song Tingchen felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation in his heart. For a moment, he felt as if something had cut his heart.
It's fine and dense, and doesn't hurt, but it always makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"Sui Sui is going to pick flowers. Do General Song and Miss Liu have anything else to do?"
Lu Zhiheng's nonchalant voice rang out.
When Liu Qingyin saw Princess Zhaoyang hugging Su Tan's neck very dependently, she couldn't help but feel a deep resentment in her heart. Originally, this opportunity should have belonged to her.
Who knew that Prince Chen's Mansion was actually haunted, so that the soul-resurrection pills she bought at a high price were of no use at all.
Her nails were almost digging into her flesh, and Liu Qingyin was almost biting her teeth off, but she managed to force a smile.
"My elixir didn't work, and I feel guilty about it. I dare not accept such a valuable gift from Your Highness, and I want to return it to Your Highness in person."
As she spoke, she took out the box and showed an expression of humbleness and fear.
Lu Zhiheng didn't even look at her, still smiling good-temperedly, as if he didn't care.
"Miss Liu, please accept it. After all, the elixir of the Divine Doctor Wangyou is rare. Since Zhaoyang has eaten it, there is no reason for you to return it."
Liu Qingyin's face turned pale and blue.
