The cub, completely unaware that his father was already renowned, innocently clung to the palace maid's neck.
"Thank you, sister, for helping me find my father."
The palace maid was genuinely nervous, but when she heard the pretty little dumpling calling her "sister" repeatedly, she began to waver.
Or we could just drop the little one off at the door, and she'll run away as soon as we get there.
The palace maid was completely captivated by Qian Yuan, and when the little guy smiled at her, the sky seemed to clear up.
I wonder if the legendary fifth prince is as handsome as the cub.
The palace maids were ordinary palace maids who spent several years in their own small world. If it weren't for the help of noble people, they might never have seen the emperor and the princes in their entire lives.
Therefore, everything she knew about the Fifth Prince was hearsay.
However, isn't there a ready-made person to question right in front of me?
The boy is nothing like his father; he's incredibly well-behaved.
The palace maid couldn't help but whisper, "Your Highness, what kind of person is the Fifth Prince... no, your father?"
Once this topic comes up, the little guy can't help but start talking at length.
He sighed solemnly and seriously:
"You're too clingy, Daddy."
"He's the clingiest dad I've ever had. He always wants me to say I love him, and he follows me everywhere I go."
"This childish daddy cries and needs his baby to comfort him; he can't live without his baby."
Palace maid: ...
The palace maid thought of children's innocent remarks, but she didn't expect the silly child to say everything.
The palace maid felt these words had to remain buried in her heart.
Meanwhile, the young child is still frantically digging up dirt on his father, which seems to contain some of the child's personal opinions, making it very unreliable, and only the young child can truly understand this version of his father.
Just as he was talking about his father, his father happened to come out of his prince's residence.
The cub turned its head, about to call out "Dad," but suddenly hesitated.
Dad, you look so young!
It looks much colder now.
However, the little cub's head can't hold that many questions. Anyway, Daddy is Daddy, and Daddy said he would always treat him as his child.
So Qianyuan didn't hesitate for long and slid down from the palace maid's arms, eager to rush into his father's arms. However, he didn't notice the steps under his feet. It was Chong Qianjue who grabbed the little guy's collar and lifted him up from the ground, preventing Qianyuan from falling.
"Where did this kid come from? He's so fair-skinned, is he trying to scam me?"
Qianyuan kicked his legs in mid-air, and when he realized that his father wouldn't let go, he obediently stopped moving, like a timid little dog with its tail between its legs.
"Tsk, so cowardly, where did you get the courage to mess with me?"
"Daddy...Daddy, hug me."
The baby felt that his father was acting strangely, as if he had forgotten about him and didn't even know how to take care of the baby anymore, so the baby had to ask for a hug himself.
Then, after Chong Qianjue was stunned, she climbed into his arms in one go and nuzzled her head against her father:
"My son is hungry and wants to eat at the Imperial Kitchen. Daddy, please buy it for me. Daddy, I love you, Daddy."
After saying that, the little guy kissed Chong Qianjue's cheek on his own, then showed his round cheeks, waiting for his father to come and kiss him.
Chong Qianjue: @%*&……
This was the first time the Fifth Prince had encountered such an enthusiastic and unrestrained cub.
I have never been in contact with such a young child before.
No one else would press their face against his like this, in such an intimate position, skin to skin...
No, that's not the point.
Chong Qianjue wanted to push away the cloying, spineless brat, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only ask weakly:
What did you call me?
How could I possibly be your father?
The cub looked at him and felt that his father was angry with him, angry that he had left home and hadn't returned for a very long time.
Although the specific memories were vague in the cub's little head, Qianyuan knew that now was the time to please her father.
The little guy rested his head against Chong Qianjue's chest, his eyes fixed intently on him:
"Dad, please don't be angry. I know I was wrong. I promise I will never run away from home again."
"I promise. Otherwise, I'll never eat osmanthus cake again! I'll get up before dawn to accompany you to court! I'll write fifty big characters... Don't be angry with me anymore, okay..."
As he spoke, the cub began to sound aggrieved, and with a tearful voice, he said in a particularly pitiful tone:
"Father, don't abandon me, don't leave me behind..."
"Dad, I don't want to leave you..."
That soft, tearful voice, and that incredibly pitiful little face, could capture the hearts of everyone present.
Chong Qianjue glanced at the palace servants following him. Among them were spies sent by others. Seeing him in this situation, how could they not make a fuss?
Therefore, Chong Qianjue could only swallow this bitter pill and take Qianyuan back with him.
It wasn't because the little guy hugged him without any hesitation, his fragile and soft body making his heart tremble.
Although the father was still new, the cub didn't mind. He found a suitable spot in Chong Qianjue's arms, snuggled up, closed his eyes, and rested, being incredibly well-behaved.
They were not afraid of him, did not avoid him, and did not despise him.
Such a weak creature seemed oblivious to the chilling, bloody aura emanating from him, treating him as some kind of shelter from the wind and rain.
Chong Qianjue stared at the scene, seemingly stunned. After a long while, he came to his senses and chuckled softly.
