"ah?"
Little Shuangbao was stunned, his face full of confusion. "This dimple brother is so handsome, why is he so timid? Shuangbao has already caught the female ghost, why did he faint?"
As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at Jing Zhao beside her, and asked in confusion, "Brother, isn't that right? What's there to be afraid of? Aren't ghosts just like humans, with a nose, two eyes, and a mouth?"
Jing Zhao looked at her and swallowed hard.
This question is really difficult for him to answer!
How can an ordinary person not be afraid of ghosts?
But as an older brother, and a reborn one at that, he absolutely could not show weakness in front of a three-and-a-half-year-old baby.
So Jing Zhao pretended to be calm and nodded calmly: "That's right, not scary at all!"
Yes, he is not afraid at all!
But the problem now is that he must take Shuangbao away from here quickly!
"Shuangbao, there doesn't seem to be anything interesting in the Imperial Garden. Why don't we go back..." However, Jing Zhao was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Right, right! Not scary at all!"
Little Shuangbao jumped and spoke excitedly, then grabbed Jingzhao with his little hand and quickly hid behind the flowers with him.
"Brother, let's play hide-and-seek?" she said happily in her baby voice.
"Hide and seek? Okay, who hides and who hides?" Jing Zhao asked casually.
At this time, he still naively thought that the hide-and-seek that Shuangbao talked about was real hide-and-seek.
Although this game is a bit childish, if Shuangbao wants to play, it's not impossible for him to play with him for a while. After all, it's better than catching ghosts, right?
But then, he heard Shuangbao say with a smile, "We hide! We also catch!"
"Huh?" Jing Zhao didn't understand the rules of the game at all.
"Brother, let me tell you a secret! When Shuangbao first came to the Imperial Garden, I saw several ghosts! They are all hiding now, and Shuangbao is hiding too. This way, when they come out later, Shuangbao can catch them all!"
Little Shuangbao said mysteriously.
In an instant, Jing Zhao felt like his whole body was splitting apart!
So, the hide-and-seek she was talking about was hide-and-seek with ghosts?
Jing Zhao really wanted to say that he really didn’t want to play hide-and-seek like this at all!
However, it is obviously unrealistic to leave now.
After all, he had already boasted...
Next, he followed Xiao Shuangbao and saw all kinds of ghosts through Xiao Shuangbao's description.
"Brother, brother, look at that ghost. Her arm is broken. She looks so pitiful! You can tell she died a horrible death!"
"Brother, brother, wow! What a pity you can't see that ghost! His neck is completely twisted! His face is on his back! His death is even more miserable!"
“Brother, brother…”
Before, Jing Zhao always thought that when little Shuangbao called him brother, it sounded really nice, and her baby voice was so cute.
But now...
When he heard her call like that, he suddenly felt a little scared. What should he do?
"Brother, brother?" At this time, Xiao Shuangbao suddenly called out again.
"Ah? What happened? What else is going on? Is it an arm or a leg that's missing this time? Is it a broken head or is it a neck that's been chopped in half?" Jing Zhao said with a dull expression and a numb tone.
"No more! We've caught all the Frost Treasures!"
Little Shuangbao said this in a sweet voice, even with a hint of pride.
As she spoke, her small chest was puffed out high, as if she was waiting for praise.
After hearing this, Jing Zhao's eyes, which had been a little dull, finally regained their spirit!
"Have you caught all of them? Really?" he asked almost impatiently.
"Really? Hehe! Shuangbao cleaned the imperial garden today! There will definitely not be such ghosts appearing at night!" Little Shuangbao said, looking at Jingzhao with bright eyes.
Jing Zhao stared at her for a while before finally coming to his senses.
At the same time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Shuangbao, you've worked so hard today. Your beautiful hair bun is messed up." Jing Zhao could touch her hair without restraint.
"Hehe! It's as it should be, it's all as it should be!"
Little Shuangbao finally got the praise he deserved, and his little face was smiling like a flower.
At this time, Ju Qing came forward with a smile and said, "Princess, are you tired? Are you hungry? Or should we go back? It's time for lunch."
"Okay, okay!"
Little Shuangbao agreed obediently.
Only then did Jing Zhao realize that when Shuangbao was catching ghosts, Juqing had been staying outside the imperial garden and had not come in.
"Why were you so far away just now?" he couldn't help but ask.
"This was said by Miss Chen Cao. She told us that when the princess is catching ghosts, if we feel scared, it's best to stay away from her because the princess can handle it alone." Ju Qing said truthfully.
When Jing Zhao heard this, his face instantly turned dark.
Good job!
It turns out that Chen Cao knew everything, but just didn't tell him!
Chen Cao was clearly experienced, having probably experienced this sort of thing with Shuang Bao many times in the past...
When Xiao Shuangbao returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Chengxuan had already returned and was waiting for her to have lunch.
Seeing that her hair was a little messy, but her little face was rosy, and she was obviously having a lot of fun, I couldn't help but smile.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"Daddy! Shuangbao just went to the Imperial Garden to catch ghosts! He and his brother were playing hide-and-seek with the ghosts!" Little Shuangbao said excitedly.
"Oh?" Emperor Chengxuan looked at Jing Zhao with a hint of smile in his eyes. "Are you not afraid?"
