Before going to Chaoyun Palace, Yuan Yao went to Tangyuan's courtyard first.
After not seeing him for a few days, Tangyuan was lying on the ground, leisurely munching on a chicken leg.
Smelling the familiar aroma, Little Tangyuan perked up its ears and looked up.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, its little ears twitched: "Awooo..."
Why did it take you so long to come see me?
Don't you love me anymore?
"Little Tangyuan!" Yuan Yao ran over happily and said, "I haven't seen you for the past few days, have you gained weight?"
"Ouch..." Tangyuan tilted her little head and sneezed at her.
Don't touch me, I'm angry!
Yuan Yao: "?"
Is Tangyuan angry?
Can tiger cubs get angry too?
She smiled and squatted down, reaching out to touch Tangyuan: "Tangyuan, a lot has happened recently, so your sister hasn't been able to come see you. Don't be angry, okay?"
"Awoo..." Tangyuan gave up gnawing on the chicken leg, raised her neck, and let out a soft whimper.
It was so unfair!
Yuan Yao smiled, stretched out her hands, and picked up Tangyuan: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, your sister will take you out to play."
Later, I'll talk to Father and ask him to let you stay by my side, okay?
"Aww..."
The little tiger blinked its icy blue eyes, then snuggled its head into Yuan Yao's arms and rubbed against her.
Yuan Yao's face was covered in saliva, and she was extremely disgusted.
She picked up Tangyuan, smiled, and stood up: "Come on, let's go out for some fresh air..."
A group of palace maids, carrying several fruit baskets, followed behind Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao carried Tangyuan in her arms, while Danqing held an umbrella as they walked towards Chaoyun Palace.
The chubby little tiger nestled in Yuan Yao's arms, lazily squinting its eyes.
Yuan Yao's forehead was covered in sweat.
Danqing said helplessly, "Princess, shall I carry the glutinous rice balls for you? Your arms will get sore and it will hurt later."
Yuan Yao wiped her sweat: "I'm fine."
Tangyuan has gained quite a bit of weight recently, but she'll still be fine to hold for a while.
At this moment, Tangyuan opened her eyes: "Ouch..."
Her ice-blue eyes blinked.
Yuan Yao looked at it and couldn't help but laugh: "Tangyuan, what are you looking at me for?"
Then, Tangyuan's fluffy body struggled in her arms.
"Are you going down?" Yuan Yao asked.
The tiger cub continued to struggle, kicking its hind legs, trying to land.
Yuan Yao looked puzzled and put it down.
As soon as its feet touched the ground, Tangyuan circled around Yuanyao twice, then started frolicking with its chubby paws...
Danqing exclaimed in surprise, "Tangyuan seems to understand human speech!"
The palace maids behind them also covered their mouths in surprise.
Yuan Yao said happily, "As expected of my little one!"
clever!
When they arrived at Chaoyun Palace, Aqi was struggling to carry a bucket of water.
Upon seeing Yuan Yao, A Qi put down the water bucket: "The princess has arrived?"
He saw that the palace maids Yuan Yao brought were carrying many bamboo baskets, which looked like they contained delicious food!
Moreover, at Yuan Yao's feet, a silly-looking little tiger cub sat staring at him with its big, icy blue eyes...
Yuan Yao walked in with a smile: "Aqi, what is your prince doing?"
Ah Qi wiped his sweat and replied with a smile, "Your Highness is reading."
read?
Little tantrum, you're really working hard!
Yuan Yao said, "Aqi, go and tell Yun Chan that I've come to see him."
"I'm going right now!" Ah Qi jogged into the Pillow Star Palace.
A moment later, Xie Ning followed behind A Qi and walked out of the Pillow Star Palace with a bright smile: "Little Yao'er, you've brought more delicious food?"
"Uncle Aning," Yuan Yao blinked and called out softly.
Xie Ning was quite pleased to be called out to, and raised her hand, saying, "It's sunny outside, come in quickly."
After speaking, his gaze fell on Tangyuan, and he greeted her warmly, "Tiger cub..."
Tangyuan ignored him completely, and with a blink of an eye, it ran into the Pillow Star Palace.
Danqing helped Yuanyao into the Pillow Star Palace.
As soon as she stepped into the palace, Yun Chan covered her mouth and was coughing while leaning over the shore.
At his feet, the tiger cub was wagging its tail, howling "Awooo..."
Yun Chan freed one hand and patted its head: "I'm fine."
Seeing this, Yuan Yao took long strides toward him with her short legs: "Yun Chan".
Upon hearing the sound, Yun Chan looked up and adjusted her sleeves.
His face was as pale as ever: "Why has the princess come?"
Princess?
They're all calling her "Princess" now?
How angry must they be? Still angry today?
The key issue is, she doesn't know what's making him angry.
Looking at Yun Chan's indifferent little face, Yuan Yao was a little confused.
Oh! She remembered!
That day by the river outside the capital, he cut his hand and chased her away!
He was probably angry because he was injured and I hadn't been attentive enough to him!
She should have remembered that; her little quirks revealed her sensitive nature...
Yuan Yao lifted her skirt and walked to the desk: "Yun Chan, how's the injury on your hand?"
She should have kept quiet; the moment she asked, Yun Chan's brows furrowed.
He said indifferently, "It's just a minor wound, no need for the princess to worry about it."
What kind of talk is that?!
Yuan Yao straightened her skirt, walked to the cushion next to Yun Chan, and squeezed down to sit with him.
Yun Chan: "..."
He subtly shifted his body to the side.
Yuan Yao turned her head to look at him: "Yun Chan, do you dislike me?"
"No," Yun Chan replied.
"Then why are you so far away from me?" Yuan Yao asked curiously. "Could it be that I have thorns on me that pricked you?"
Yun Chan: "..."
He said coldly, "No."
What is that?
A little quirk, just as expected of a little quirk!
Yuan Yao clapped her hands: "Bring the fruit up."
Danqing led the people to wash the fruit.
Xie Ning held an apricot in one hand and a handful of cherries in the other: "Xiao Yao'er, where did you get all these? They're so sweet..."
Before he could speak, he met Yun Chan's deathly gaze.
Xie Ning: "Hiccup..."
The next second, Xie Ning smiled, held the fruit in her hand, walked to the desk, and handed it to Yun Chan: "Here, have a taste."
Yun Chan pursed her lips: "You've already touched it, and now you're giving it to me?"
"We're all men, what's there to be picky about?" Xie Ning said. "My hands aren't dirty, here, have one..."
"Eat it yourself." Yun Chan turned her face away.
Xie Ning chuckled and said with a smile, "Then I'll really eat it myself?"
I couldn't ask for more!
These fruits are of much better quality than the tribute items!
Xie Ning popped a cherry into her mouth and exclaimed dramatically, "So sweet..."
Yun Chan: "..."
He covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and said in a hoarse voice, "A-Ning, get out."
Feeling slighted, Xie Ning used an empty plate to distribute a portion of fruit, carried it with one hand, and leisurely went out the door.
Yuan Yao said to Dan Qing, "Didn't we take an extra share of the fruit? Go and distribute it to the palace servants."
Danqing responded and went out.
Only Yuan Yao and Yun Chan remained in the Pillow Star Palace.
She sat on the cushion, craning her neck to look at the desk.
On the desk was a stack of books.
On the rice paper, the characters were elegant and the ink was not yet completely dry...
Yuan Yao leaned forward curiously and glanced over: "Yun Chan, are you writing a letter?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chan's long eyelashes trembled slightly: "I was just writing it for fun."
Just writing for fun?
Yuan Yao clearly saw that the letter began with the words "Father Emperor".
A little upset... feeling homesick?
