Consort Tongjia turned around and saw the Crown Prince holding Hexue. Since Hexue entered the palace, the Crown Prince had slowly shown signs of having a child at his age. In the past, the Crown Prince always gave people the feeling of being mature beyond his years and was usually serious and unsmiling.
The Crown Prince is much more cheerful now, and he smiles more often!
She still prefers the current crown prince; the previous crown prince was too pitiful.
"He Xue still likes Bao Cheng the most! Every time she sees you, she wants you to hold her!" Consort Tong Jia said.
"Mother Tong, I also like He Xue!" the Crown Prince said happily after hearing Consort Tong's words.
This is something Consort Tongjia would like to see. The Crown Prince is the next heir apparent. If He Xue can build a good relationship with the Crown Prince, it will be a guarantee for He Xue. Although she is protected by the Tongjia and Guarjia clans, the presence of the Crown Prince will provide an extra layer of protection.
Of course, Consort Tongjia never considered letting Hexue enter the palace. This palace is a cage, and it has already trapped her. So why trap Hexue as well!
She only hoped that in the future, she and Xue would marry someone who would cherish and pamper her, and live a simple and happy life. Given her childhood friendship with the Crown Prince, she believed that things wouldn't be too bad for them either.
The Crown Prince visited He Xue at Chengqian Palace almost every day, and he was involved in almost everything He Xue grew up.
When He Xue began to learn to speak, the Crown Prince taught her how to address him.
This infuriated Jing Shu and Shu Yi, because they never expected that the first word He Xue would call after her father and mother would be "Guo Guo" (meaning "brother"), a term the Crown Prince had taught her!
The eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince were all very envious of him, and the three of them always seized the opportunity to teach He Xue how to address them.
The Crown Prince no longer cared who He Xue would call next; he had already started teaching He Xue to walk. Watching He Xue wobble towards him, the Crown Prince felt a sense of gratification.
As He Xue grew up, her activities within the palace gradually expanded. She no longer limited herself to Chengqian Palace; she explored almost the entire palace. He Xue was never idle, and the flowers in the Imperial Garden often suffered from her destruction.
Faced with He Xue's ruthless destruction of the flowers, the Crown Prince was only concerned about whether He Xue's hand was injured. As for those flowers, they would wither sooner or later anyway, so what difference did it make if they withered a day earlier or later?
With the Crown Prince's protection, He Xue became even more unrestrained. Climbing trees and raiding bird nests were just some of the things He Xue did.
Tongjia was also very troubled by this. How could such an obedient daughter be disliked by everyone and even dogs?
Seeing Su Hetai guzzling tea like a cow, Tongjia was even more furious. He Xue must have inherited Su Hetai's restless nature, otherwise how could she be like this!
Su Hetai noticed that Tongjia was looking at him with a bit of hostility. He tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible, wishing he could even stop breathing. He thought back and realized that he hadn't done anything to upset Tongjia today.
Su Hetai walked up to Tongjia with a grin, "Madam, who made you angry? Tell me, and I'll avenge you!"
Tongjia glared at Su Hetai, "Who else could it be but your precious daughter?"
My night-blooming cereus was about to bloom last night, so I waited there!
Finally, the flowers bloomed, but before I could even admire them, a chubby little hand reached out and snapped one off with a "snap!"
Su Hetai suppressed a laugh. He knew how much his wife cared about that pot of epiphyllum. He usually wouldn't let her see it. This time, Xue had really gone too far. Now, the father had to pay for the daughter's debt!
"Madam, don't worry, I'll find you a few more pots of epiphyllum so you can see them blooming every day!"
"Master, you can't keep spoiling Hexue like this!"
“Okay, I understand! I’ll definitely change next time!” Su Hetai replied.
Tongjia looked at Su Hetai's expression; Su Hetai was merely giving her perfunctory replies and didn't take it to heart.
