"Your Highness, I, Su Shimin, greet you."
Su Shimin stood in front of Baili Lingxiang and bowed to him. Han Lingxi peeked out from Baili Lingxiang's arms and looked at Su Shimin, marveling at how bold Su Shimin was. Other officials' daughters didn't dare to speak to Baili Lingxiang so openly; they would just step aside and bow, at most resorting to some tricks.
Baili Lingxiang frowned as he looked at Su Shimin, but didn't tell her to get up. Su Shimin could only squat there awkwardly, while Han Lingxi cursed inwardly that she deserved it.
However, Su Shimin was indeed very thick-skinned. She straightened her skirt and stood up, then made conversation.
"The Second Prince's cat is so cute."
Han Lingxi pouted. "I've been cute for a long time now, you don't need to tell me. Once I become human, you won't think I'm cute anymore."
"Um."
Baili Lingxiang casually responded and walked past Su Shimin toward Qingyuan Hall.
Su Shimin was left watching Baili Lingxiang's retreating figure with resentment, rubbing her handkerchief.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Baili Lingxiang whispered to Han Lingxi.
"Xi'er, how can you be so lecherous, looking at both handsome men and beautiful women? Are you a male cat or a female cat?"
Han Lingxi closed her eyes, not wanting to speak. "Holy crap, Baili Lingxiang, you still don't even know if I'm a man or a woman? How did you come up with the name Xi'er? Do you think it's appropriate to name a male cat Xi'er? Baili Lingxiang's head is definitely messed up."
Seeing that Han Lingxi ignored him, Baili Lingxiang decided not to make a fool of himself. Since it wasn't time for the banquet to start yet, Baili Lingxiang took Han Lingxi to a secluded artificial hill and sat on it to enjoy the breeze.
The cool evening breeze made Han Lingxi's fur sway in the wind, and Han Lingxi felt extremely comfortable. Baili Lingxiang really knew how to find a good spot.
Han Lingxi was happily playing her flute when Baili Lingxiang pulled her into his arms like a baby, leaving her upside down.
Han Lingxi was startled by Baili Lingxiang's sudden movement. She looked at Baili Lingxiang with dissatisfaction, kicking her four legs and trying to roll over. Although she liked sleeping in this position, she didn't like being made to do it by others. It always made her feel like a turtle about to be sunburned on the beach.
"Xi'er, don't move around."
Han Lingxi wouldn't listen to him and kept kicking randomly, but the next second, Han Lingxi froze instantly.
Han Lingxi's face instantly turned bright red. Although there was hair on her face and nothing could be seen, Han Lingxi felt her face was burning hot and about to explode.
Han Lingxi jumped up immediately, "Bai Li Lingxiang, you big pervert, you big weirdo, you big bastard... where are you touching!"
The instigator, Baili Lingxiang, remained calm, completely unconcerned about Han Lingxi's shock and anger, and said in a very indifferent manner.
"So Xi'er is a female cat."
Han Lingxi squatted in the corner and drew circles. Although she was a cat, she was still a cat with dignity. How could they treat her like this? She felt ashamed to face anyone.
Han Lingxi decided to ignore Baili Lingxiang for a month, to let him know that she also has a temper.
"Princess Jiade is a smart woman; she should know what's in her best interest, right?"
Han Lingxi was sulking when she heard someone talking behind the artificial hill, mentioning Jiade.
Baili Lingxiang obviously heard it too, and listened quietly with his breath held. Han Lingxi knew that the matter was of great importance, and dared not take it lightly, so she breathed softly and listened to the movements behind the rockery.
