The man hummed softly.
"Sir, Madam, here are your candied haws." The old man handed over two wrapped candied haws with a smile.
"Thank you." Yan Yuning took it, took out the change from Xuan Yanyu's arms and handed it to the old man with a smile.
"Give it to your son." After walking a distance, Yan Yuning stuffed the portion that was for Xuan Yuncheng to bring back to Dong into Xuan Yanyu's hand.
"If you want to bring it back to Xiaoxiao, why don't you take it yourself?" the man said sarcastically.
"Xuan Yanyu?" Yan Yuning took a bite of the candied haws and said speechlessly, "Why are you arguing with your son?"
"No." There was no displeasure in the man's voice.
But when he heard her say she wanted two, but not for him, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Yan Yu Ning secretly glanced at him, met his gaze, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Do you want to try one? It's so sweet!"
Xuan Yanyu looked at her for half a second, then opened his mouth. Yan Yuning brought the candied haws to his lips, and when she saw him take a small bite, she asked softly, "Is it sweet?"
"Not bad." Xuan Yanyu's expression did not change.
Yan Yuning took Xuan Yanyu's arm, stared at him with her beautiful eyes, and said in a soft and delicate voice, "Maybe it was you who bought it. I think it's super sweet and delicious."
The man stopped and looked at the girl with a candied haws in her mouth and puffy pink cheeks. He asked in a lazy voice, "Are you trying to trick me?"
It makes my teeth so sour!
After taking Xiaoxiao back, he would only take one bite and would not take a second bite.
"Since Your Majesty said it was okay without changing his expression, I thought Your Majesty also thought it was delicious." Yan Yuning smiled and spat out the candied haws in her mouth, and stuffed the rest in Xuan Yanyu's hand.
The old man must have heard it wrong. He asked for sweet food, but he got the sour food.
Xuan Yanyu grabbed Yan Yuning's arm and pulled her into his arms. His deep voice rang in Yan Yuning's ears, "So, you deliberately let me have a taste."
Yan Yuning chuckled, "No, Your Majesty is overthinking."
"Nonsense, you just want me to have a taste of it on purpose." The man's voice ended with a breathy tone, which had an indescribable charm that made people's ears burn.
"Yes, yes, yes, it was intentional. What can Your Majesty do about it?" Yan Yuning said.
The man raised his eyebrows, tickled her itch with his knuckle-jointed fingers, and said in a low voice, "What can I do? I will punish you when we return to the palace."
Yan Yuning curled her lips, her face full of disbelief.
Xuan Yanyu patted her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait."
"Okay, wait~" Yan Yuning raised her eyebrows slightly.
She didn't think Xuan Xixi would punish her, he was just talking.
The man looked at her meaningfully, his eyes full of joy.
Yan Yuning: “?”

Xuanwang Palace-Imperial Study.
The emperor was sitting on the golden throne, holding the little one in his arms.
The prince knelt on the ground, his cheeks swollen and purple from being slapped, with blood still hanging from the corners of his mouth. Perhaps because he was going to see the retired emperor, he deliberately did not wipe it off.
"Please take a seat."
"I thank the Emperor." The prince stood up weakly, and the maid carefully helped him to the sandalwood chair.
"Who beat you?" The emperor pretended to be ignorant.
