Tang Xiu led the palace servants to bring over the food.
Just as he was about to turn and leave.
Yan Yan asked with a smile, "Tang Xiu, what's that in your arms? Can you let me see it?"
Tang Xiu didn't think much of it, took out the glutinous rice balls from his arms, and respectfully replied, "These are glutinous rice balls, my nighttime snack."
In the past, the emperor would have the imperial kitchen prepare some snacks for him to eat while he was on night duty, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Yan Yan's smile vanished after she saw the object.
"Guard Tang, thank you for bringing the food. You can go back to your work now," Mu Tiantian said quickly when she saw that Yan Yan's expression was off.
Tang Xiu bowed and left the palace.
At this moment, Yan Yan discovered...
Tang Xiu, who usually only obeys his own and Quan Wufeng's orders, is now actually obeying his sister's orders.
"Yan Yan, actually..."
"Sister, you should eat first."
Just as Mu Tiantian was about to explain, Yan Yan put on a smiling face as if nothing had happened and pulled her to sit down at the table.
She was a little confused.
Does he mind or not?
Looking at the table full of food and snacks, Mu Tiantian was indeed a little hungry.
But why does Yan Yan's current appearance give her a feeling of smiling while hiding a knife?
"Isn't Yan Yan going to eat?" Mu Tiantian asked.
"I'm not hungry, sister, you eat first." Yan Yan's smile was like a child's.
Mu Tiantian nodded, took a bite first, and seeing that Yan Yan seemed to be fine, she relaxed and ate heartily.
He simply watched her quietly from the side.
Mu Tiantian felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and asked, "Yan Yan, are you really not going to eat? Why don't you try this lotus seed paste cake? It's quite delicious."
As she spoke, she handed him a piece, but he kept staring at her like that, making her feel uneasy while eating.
Yan Yan glanced at the pastry brought to his mouth, took a bite, and not only did he eat the small lotus seed paste cake, but his lips also touched her fingers, his eyes darkening.
Mu Tiantian was about to pull her hand back.
Yan Yan grasped her wrist and licked her fingertip. Besides the sweetness of lotus seed paste, there was also a faint milky fragrance on it.
Mu Tiantian felt a tingling sensation in her fingers.
When she saw that he was about to put her finger in his mouth, she quickly pulled her hand back.
"If Yan Yan likes to eat, there's more here." Mu Tiantian placed a plate of lotus seed paste cake in front of him.
Yan Yan looked up and smiled, "Sister, you eat."
Mu Tiantian always felt uneasy when she saw his smile.
Mu Tiantian: [Seventh Master, is there anything wrong with Yan Yan's personality?]
System: [Based on the current information, Yan Yan's personality, temperament, and mental development are similar to a child's. He's active, playful, mischievous, and a bit of a headache. That's about it.]
After hearing this, Mu Tiantian felt relieved and ate two pieces of lotus seed paste cake, which made her feel full.
After Yan Yan saw that she had finished eating, she asked someone to remove the plate.
Only the two of them remained in the palace.
Mu Tiantian had just finished eating and sat on a stool to rest for a while, glancing around a few times.
The palace is quite large.
"elder sister."
The sudden sound of a scorching fire startled Mu Tiantian.
She was just about to get up.
Yan Yan braced his arms against the edge of the table, trapping her in his embrace.
"...What's wrong?"
"Sister, you lied to me." Yan Yan's lips were close to her ear, and she whispered plaintively, "You said that all the glutinous rice balls you made were mine, but you gave them to someone else."
“Those glutinous rice balls are yours, the whole world is yours, so... even if other people eat the glutinous rice balls... they're still yours…” Mu Tiantian’s words lacked conviction and confidence.
"You said you would only make glutinous rice balls for me from now on."
"That's...in the future..." Mu Tiantian smiled and slowly stood up.
"My sister lied to me," Yan Yan said plaintively.
Facing him, Mu Tiantian reassured him, "Sister, this... isn't exactly lying, is it..."
"Then you just said you ate it all..."
"They...they were all eaten by others." Mu Tiantian's voice grew softer and softer.
She couldn't help but wonder, was this really the mind of a child?
Yan Yan stared at that evasive mouth, which was slightly redder, with crumbs of lotus seed paste still at the corners of its mouth.
"Since my sister lied to me, then everything she said before is null and void."
After saying that, Yan Yan kissed her pale red lips deeply and licked away the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
Because he didn't know how to kiss, his movements were a bit clumsy.
He wanted to do it yesterday, but didn't have time.
Now, he finally got to eat it.
The sudden kiss stunned her.
Mu Tiantian: [Qitong, are you sure he has the mental age of a few years old?]
System: [...That's what the information says. Maybe...you've been looking at too many love picture books given by eunuchs?]
Mu Tiantian: [A picture album of mandarin ducks?]
System: [It's spring...]
Mu Tiantian: [Okay, I understand.]
Just as she was speaking to Qitong in her clone, she felt a stinging sensation on her lips.
"Ouch..." Mu Tiantian cried out in pain.
He actually bit her?
She wanted to push him away.
As a result, he hugged her even tighter.
"Yan... Yan Yan..." Her voice was soft and weak as she struggled to call out his name.
But he still kissed her with the same intensity.
"pain..."
Yan Yan stopped when she heard her say it hurt, and looked at her with unsatisfied desire.
Mu Tiantian touched the spot where he had bitten her. It wasn't broken or bleeding, but it hurt a little.
"Why are you still biting me?" Mu Tiantian's breathing became rapid from the kiss, and her voice was a little soft.
Hearing her sweet and soft voice, Yan Yan couldn't help but want to kiss her again.
But when she asked him a question, he still replied, "Because my sister lied to me."
"I..."
Okay, I did lie to him.
Mu Tiantian suddenly clutched her chest, her brows furrowed and her expression unusual.
Seeing this, Yan Yan became nervous. "What's wrong, sister?"
"My chest hurts," Mu Tiantian said weakly.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan's heart leaped into her throat. "I'll go and call Physician Quan over."
Mu Tiantian pulled him back, "No need, no need, I just need to rest."
"Then..." Yan Yan helped her to the bedside, "Then sister, please rest well."
He lay down on the bed with her, covered her with the blanket, and hugged her, saying, "Sister, rest now."
Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was no longer dwelling on the glutinous rice ball.
Although she was indeed a little weak, her chest didn't actually hurt much.
"Yan Yan, if your sister had told you yesterday that the extra glutinous rice balls were made for someone else, what would you have done?" Mu Tiantian thought about it carefully.
Although making a few glutinous rice balls to give to others is not a big deal for her, since she used to share everything she made.
But for Yan Yan, who is not mature enough right now, it might be quite serious, so it's better to make things clear. It seems like he holds a grudge.
"I'm not happy," Yan Yan said. "I don't want my sister to cook for others."
He might make a huge scene and stop her from doing it.
However, he dared not say it.
What if his sister dislikes him?
“Then you should cook for your family too. You used to be a cook to make a living, and all the food and snacks you made were for others to eat.” Mu Tiantian thought for a moment and continued, “I gave Tang the glutinous rice balls because he wants to protect you. It’s not good for him to go hungry.”
Yan Yan pursed her lips and thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make some sense.
"Then... besides Guard Tang... who else did you give it to?" he asked sullenly.
Mu Tiantian didn't hide anything, "And there's Physician Quan. I see he works hard for you all day long, so I'm giving him some treats. Look, the glutinous rice balls I gave them were all for you."
"For...me..." When Yan Yan heard that she did it for him, his previously unhappy mood instantly improved.
Seeing that he smiled, Mu Tiantian continued to coax him, "Of course, look how good your sister is to you."
Yan Yan grinned foolishly and tightened his grip on her arm.
Mu Tiantian asked softly, "Yan Yan isn't angry anymore, is she?"
"Don't be angry."
"But my sister is very angry." Mu Tiantian pouted and pretended to be angry. "You bite me."
After she finished speaking, she touched the spot on her lip where he had bitten her; it still hurt a little.
Although her skin wasn't broken, it was very delicate, and the bite caused it to swell slightly.
When Yan Yan heard that she was angry, she started to panic. "It's Yan Yan's fault. Yan Yan will never bite like that again."
"This is what Yan Yan said, so Yan Yan must listen to her sister from now on."
"From now on, Yan Yan will listen to her older sister."
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian smiled, hugged him back, snuggled against him, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Sleep."
Yan Yan was overjoyed to see her so proactive and hugged her tightly, emphasizing again, "From now on, Yan Yan will listen to her sister in everything."
She's so easy to coax.
Mu Tiantian fell into a deep sleep in his arms.
Yan Yan looked at the person in her arms and thought for a moment, what if Yi Yan woke up and kicked her sister out?
No, he has to leave a note.
Seeing that Mu Tiantian was fast asleep, he slowly got up, left a note inside his clothes, and then went back to bed to embrace Mu Tiantian and drift off to sleep.
