Chapter 35
Yingning made a gesture that startled the two of them, which immediately made Li Ziqing somewhat worried.
Having picked up the finished sugar painting of a little fox, she wanted to leave:
"Your Highness, I will take my leave now."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan decided not to keep the man.
However, Wen Chaosheng, who was standing to the side, spoke up:
“Your Highness, since we’ve run into the Sixth Prince here, why don’t we stay at his residence for a few days? It just so happens that I was also planning to see if I could find such an adorable little fox at the Sixth Prince’s residence.”
Li Yuan was surprised when Wen Chaosheng suddenly spoke up.
However, Wen Chaosheng was a fortune teller whom I had befriended through numerous visits.
He had used his divination skills on several occasions to help him escape several life-or-death situations.
If he wanted to stay a few more days, Li Yuan wouldn't have let this incident create a rift between them.
"I just don't know if my sixth brother is willing."
As soon as Li Yuan spoke, Li Ziqing naturally had to agree.
"Since the Third Prince has spoken, then I, your humble servant, will respectfully comply."
When they left, there was only one person and one fox, but when they returned, there were also Li Yuan and Wen Chaosheng, which immediately threw the servants in the Sixth Prince's mansion into a flurry of activity.
After settling Li Yuan and Wen Chaosheng in, Li Ziqing gave a few more instructions to the servants in the mansion.
He then returned to his own courtyard.
He placed the fox-shaped sugar painting on a small plate, then turned to Yingning and said:
"Little fox, come and eat."
Yingning lifted her little leg and walked over little by little. She licked the edge of the sugar painting with the tip of her tongue.
His eyes sparkled as he swallowed another mouthful.
Li Ziqing looked at her. The past few days of companionship had made him accustomed to the satin-like touch of the little fox's body, so he reached out his fingertips and gently stroked it.
Before long, the little fox in his eyes had finished eating the sugar painting cleanly.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Sixth Prince, I have something to report."
The visitor was a servant in charge of the kitchen in the Sixth Prince's residence. He came at this time to inquire about the welcoming banquet for the Third Prince to be held in the residence tonight.
The Third Prince held a prestigious position, and his arrival made everyone in the mansion hold their breath in suspense.
He feared that he might inadvertently offend Li Yuan.
It's rare for such an important person to visit our residence, so there are many matters we need to inform Li Ziqing about.
Li Ziqing concealed the faint reluctance in her eyes before putting down the little fox in her arms.
"You play in the room for a while, I'll be back in a bit."
After leaving a message for Yingning, Li Ziqing left with the head of the kitchen.
After Li Ziqing left, the little fox, which had been lying on the table, instantly perked up.
With a leap, he left the room through the window.

Yingning walked into Wen Chaosheng's courtyard and saw him sitting at a stone table under a tree, seemingly studying something carefully.
Upon closer inspection.
Several oddly shaped stones were placed haphazardly on the stone table.
The man in the sapphire blue silk robe showed a hint of surprise in his handsome eyes when he saw the divination symbols displayed on the stone table.
【strangeness. 】
Why is it that after moving into the Sixth Prince's residence, the person destined to bring me misfortune has become even closer to me?
Wen Chaosheng did not tell Li Yuan the details of his destined person.
He had once divined that he would have a destined person in his life.
However, this person's astrological chart underwent a sudden change this year, providing clear guidance.
The celestial trajectories point to this border city.
Her eyes, as clear as pool water, gradually deepened as she thought of this person.
When two people become entangled, one of their destinies will inevitably be altered by the other.
He and this person were destined for each other.
There is also an extremely ominous sign of a life-or-death calamity.
An ominous sign is a sign of death.
Although they are said to be destined for greatness, in more detail, they are more like people destined for hardship.
Wen Chaosheng possesses a natural talent for divination, making him one of the few in the world with such abilities.
So when he saw the specific location of the person destined for his calamity, he decided to come to this city with Li Yuan.
Wen Chaosheng believed that with his abilities, he might be able to change the fate between the two of them.
As he was meditating and pondering the strange aspects of the divination, he heard a creaking sound from a branch in the courtyard.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a small red head among the lush green leaves.
A small and cute body with a fluffy tail swaying behind it.
It was a small fox with flawless, crimson fur.
[Isn't this the Sixth Prince's pet?]
Wen Chaosheng walked to Ying Ning's side and saw that she was really adorable.
He reached out his hand, gesturing for her to come down; the royal blue cuffs of his sleeves made his skin appear even more fair.
"How did you end up here?" he asked with a smile.
Then the little fox lightly jumped, but instead of jumping into his already prepared hand, it landed on the ground to the side.
"You're really something."
Wen Chaosheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and simply withdrew his hand, following the little fox.
The little fox walked directly to a small pond in the yard.
This pond is one of the few shallow ponds with flowing water in the Sixth Prince's residence. Water gushes out continuously from the spring, and several small fish frolic among the aquatic plants in the pond.
Wen Chaosheng sat to the side, watching with interest what she was going to do.
Then, the little fox stretched out her tiny paws and splashed around in the water a few times.
She brought a small fish ashore.
The fish struggled to return to the water on the still-wet stone slab.
Just as Wen Chaosheng thought the little fox in front of him was about to eat the little fish, he saw her push the little fish back into the pond.
She then repeated it several more times until she felt it was pointless.
It licked its dripping paws and gracefully prepared to leave.
Wen Chaosheng watched with amusement, surprised that this little fox was so intelligent.
Is it having fun here by itself?
Seeing that the little fox was about to leave, he stopped her.
"Little fox, would you like some pastries?"
Unexpectedly, the fox seemed to actually understand what he was saying and stopped in its tracks.
Then he turned around, walked to his side, and looked left and right, as if checking where he had any pastries on himself.
Wen Chaosheng said, "Want some pastries? You'll have to trade them for small fish."
What he meant was that he wanted a small fish in the pond.
Upon hearing this, the little fox stopped looking at him and immediately prepared to leave again.
Wen Chaosheng had no idea what he had done to offend her by asking her to catch a small fish, so he could only helplessly say:
"Then give me a water lily."
Above the pond, closest to the stone bridge, several water lilies were in full bloom.
The little fox stopped again.
Its two ears twitched slightly, as if it understood that this was feasible.
He went directly to the stone bridge, intending to retrieve a water lily for Wen Chaosheng.
Once on the bridge, I realized that I was too small to reach the nearest water lily.
They could only slowly move closer to the surface of the water.
With a "thud".
The sound of something falling into the water.
Upon hearing the sound, Wen Chaosheng immediately flew over and saw that the little fox had already fallen into the water!
She was very small and struggled helplessly in the water.
Wen Chaosheng felt a sudden urgency and immediately went into the water, swam to her side, and picked her up as she struggled in the water.
"Little fox, are you alright?"
Wen Chaosheng, soaked to the bone, came ashore and hurriedly asked what was wrong. He saw that Ying Ning's smooth fur was completely wet and her eyes looked weak and listless.
He immediately summoned a servant and ordered him to prepare hot water.
I was thinking of quickly warming the little fox up so it wouldn't get sick.
The servant worked very quickly, and soon the water in the bucket began to steam.
"Little fox, I'm so sorry."
Wen Chaosheng apologized to her and gently placed her in the pool.
As its body gradually warmed up, the little fox's expression improved.
"I'll give you some pastries later, okay, little fox? Please don't be angry."
Wen Chaosheng was straightforward in his dealings with people, and he was also very patient with a little fox at this moment.
Wen Chaosheng was worried that Yingning would drown again, so he stayed by her side the whole time.
When the time was almost up, he turned around and walked behind the screen, intending to get a cloth to wipe Yingning's body.
He had just turned to leave when he heard a strange noise coming from the bucket behind him.
He heard a sound, and upon closer listening beside the screen, he realized it was a woman's cry of pain.
"I bumped into something, it hurts..."
Wen Chaosheng immediately turned back, only to see
