Li Ruchu was puzzled.
"Why should we thank the little princess?"
Ye Xiaochuan said with a smile.
"If the little princess hadn't caused trouble in the pharmacy that day, grabbing random Chinese herbs, we wouldn't have discovered a treatment for tuberculosis by sheer chance!"
Ye Xiaochuan told Li Ruchu how the little princess discovered the prescription.
Li Ruchu was shocked after hearing this.
"So that's how it is! It seems everything was fate!"
"The little princess is destined to be a lucky star, able to help all people in the world."
"Yes!!" Ye Xiaochuan nodded. "So, the little princess indirectly helped us, and we should thank her properly!"
"Yes! Now, little princess, what should I give her? She's such a cute girl, she must really like little trinkets and the like, right?"
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head.
"No, that's not true. The things she likes will definitely surprise you."
"Oh? So you like things boys play with?"
"No, she likes things that many adults like—gold."
Li Ruchu was shocked after hearing this.
"Really? The little princess likes gold? But she's so young, does she even understand what gold is?"
"Yes!" Ye Xiaochuan nodded.
She already had this concept when she was still in her sister-in-law's womb.
"Alright, if I have the chance, I'd like to go to the palace and give the little princess some gold."
“As for Ruchu, we are not officially married yet. Given your current status, you cannot enter the palace without the Emperor’s summons, but I can bring the little princess out.”
Li Ruchu nodded: "Okay, then Xiao Chuan, can you take the little princess out of the palace tomorrow?"
"Okay! Anyway, the little princess really wants to sneak out and play."
"Sneaked out?"
"You have no idea how mischievous this girl is. She's even more naughty than a boy. She doesn't act like a princess at all. But, you know, many people in the harem are willing to pamper her, even I am. Maybe that's the charm of this little lucky star."
Li Ruchu laughed.
"The first time I saw the little princess, I thought she was very cute."
...
Right now.
Ye Qianqian was idly playing with a rattle drum inside the palace.
I shook it a few times and then threw it away.
"What? I don't want to play this boring game. I want to leave the palace!"
Consort Jin: "Qianqian, you just left the palace a few days ago, why are you going out again today?"
"Mother, it's so much fun outside the palace. Every day in the palace, all you see is the sky, it's so boring. Let me go out and play, and let Mo Chi accompany me."
"Mo Chi still has to serve the Emperor, how can he spend all his time with you?"
Ye Qianqian frowned.
"Didn't Mo Chi teach all the imperial guards their martial arts skills?!"
"Alas, not everyone is like Mo Chi, with such high martial arts talent that they can become masters with just a little guidance! But even so, these imperial guards are still considered to have very good aptitude compared to ordinary martial artists."
Ye Qianqian pouted.
"Look at you, pouting again. Where did you learn this bad habit?"
"Of course it's in the palace. I often have concubines pouting at you behind your back, Mother. It's obvious they're jealous of how favored you are now."
"You're so young, how do you know these things?"
"I'm not little anymore, I'm three years old!"
"Now that we know you're not a child anymore, why don't you focus your energy on your studies?"
"See, see! You brought up studying right away. Mother, I'm a bright and intelligent person! I've already learned everything the teacher teaches. Going to the study every day is just a waste of time! I'd rather use that time to do something I enjoy!"
Consort Jin sighed.
She truly is a little princess who was mentally mature even before she was born.
At three years old, the things he said sounded very mature.
...
One hour later.
Ye Xiaochuan has entered the palace.
After paying his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, he went to Chuxiu Palace.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager."
"Get up, Xiao Chuan. If I'm not mistaken, you've come to take Qianqian out of the palace, haven't you?"
Ye Xiaochuan smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty, you really know what I'm thinking. That's right. I want to take the little princess to meet my fiancée."
"oh?"
"Mother, stop 'oh'ing! Hurry up and let Uncle Xiao Chuan and me leave the palace. I can't wait to go."
"Alright, anyway, I'm at ease knowing you're with Uncle Chuan."
"Xiao Chuan, Qianqian is in your hands now."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring her back before dark."
"I don't want to come back. Tonight, I want to stay at Uncle Xiaochuan's house. I want to play in the city tomorrow!"
Consort Jin smiled helplessly.
"Is it because you've grown up that your father and mother no longer like you?"
"Xiao Chuan, is it convenient for Qianqian to stay in the Prince's residence?"
"That's convenient!" Ye Xiaochuan said with a smile. "Don't worry, Sister-in-law, I will take good care of her."
After Ye Xiaochuan took Ye Qianqian out of the palace, they went directly to the place he had arranged to meet Li Ruchu.
Right in the city, in front of a stall selling fried small yellow croakers.
Ye Qianqian came over sniffling!
"It smells so good! I want to eat fried yellow croaker."
Ye Xiaochuan sat down with Ye Qianqian in his arms.
"Qianqian, look who this is!"
Ye Qianqian's eyes were originally on the stall.
He was stunned when he saw Li Ruchu.
