Huaiyao, with her sharp ears, immediately heard the sound from the other side.
She frowned and shouted in that direction, "Who's hiding there?"
"Aww!"
A soft, childlike tiger roar came from behind the lotus leaf.
sweet dumpling!
After searching for a long time, I never expected that Tangyuan would be right by the lotus pond!
This brat is so calm!
Yuan Yao called out, "Tangyuan, come here quickly!"
"Aww..." Tangyuan happily whined.
But after waiting for ages, it still didn't come.
Yuan Yao was somewhat puzzled.
She patted Huaiyao: "Put me down."
Huaiyao then placed the soft dumpling on the ground.
Yuan Yao lifted her skirt and called out again from behind the tall lotus leaves, "Tang Yuan, what are you doing there?"
"Awoooooo..."
Tangyuan was extremely excited, as if calling her over.
Yuan Yao: "?"
Just then, very faint footsteps came from the other side.
A pair of clean, silver-white boots peeked out from behind the lotus leaves.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Chan, dressed in a snow-white robe, appeared before everyone carrying a basket and a fishing rod.
The plump little dumpling, with its chubby paws, waddled into Yuan Yao's arms, yelping as it cried out.
"You brat!" Yuan Yao retaliated by rubbing Tangyuan's head harder. "I've been calling you for ages, why are you only coming now?"
Tangyuan excitedly scurried over to Yunchan's side, looked at Yuanyao, and exclaimed, "Aww!"
It told her to look.
What are you looking at?
Looking at the basket?
Yun Chan patted Tang Yuan's head, first bowed to the Empress and Consort Lin, and then said, "Yun Chan was fishing for loach here and disturbed Your Majesty the Empress and Consort Lin. Please forgive me."
Fishing for loaches?
Yuan Yao craned his neck and peered curiously into his basket.
Seeing this, Yun Chan subtly lowered the opening of the basket, trying to make sure she could see it.
Unfortunately, it was pitch black inside the basket, and I couldn't see very well...
Huaiyao asked with great interest, "How many have you caught?"
"Not many," Yun Chan said calmly.
Not many?
"Then why are you fishing here?" Huaiyao pouted in disgust.
If she could get her hands on fishing gear, she would definitely catch more fish than these weak and useless boys!
Yun Chan, the good-for-nothing boy: "..."
He raised his hand to cover his mouth, coughed a few times, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Princess is joking. Yun Chan has only been here a short time, and the princess and a group of young ladies came and made a fuss, which disturbed the loaches in the pond, so I didn't catch many."
"What do you mean?" Huaiyao glared at him. "You're blaming me for bothering you?"
Yun Chan pursed her lips and remained silent.
At this moment, Consort Lin looked at Yun Chan: "Your Highness Yun Chan said that you have been here for quite some time?"
Yun Chan nodded.
At this moment, Gu Yucha clasped her hands together and spoke gently, "Your Highness Yun Chan has been here for so long, why have you not made a sound?"
"If Your Highness would so be so, we would certainly not disturb your enjoyment."
Who does she think she is?
Does he need to consult her before he can do anything?
Yun Chan curled her lips into a sarcastic smile, not even glancing at Gu Yucha.
Huai Yao was furious at Bai Wantao's accomplices.
She looked at Gu Yucha: "Everyone else has left, why is the county princess still here?"
Gu Yucha pinched her hands together and forced a smile: "Yucha will be leaving now."
She raised her chin, turned around, frowned, and left the lotus garden with a somber expression...
The Duke's mansion will remain in the capital for a few more days. At worst, she can find time to go to the palace again and apologize to Consort Lin...
With Gu Yucha gone, the atmosphere in the courtyard finally improved considerably.
Consort Lin then asked Yun Chan, "How much of what happened just now did Your Highness hear?"
Yun Chan said calmly, "I heard everything."
You all heard it?
Did they even hear her crying?
Huaiyao was furious: "You're shameless!"
Yun Chan: "..."
Consort Lin coldly rebuked, "Huaiyao, shut up!"
Others are one thing.
Yun Chan is a prince of the Chu Kingdom.
Yun Chan looked at Huai Yao with a slightly cold gaze: "Princess, you are overthinking it. Even if I hear Princess Yuan Yao cry, I will not listen to the princess cry."
"Can a princess's cry be more pleasant than a baby's voice?"
Yuan Yao: "???"
Why did you suddenly bring her up?
Besides, she's not a crybaby!
Yuan Yao looked up and glanced around.
Consort Lin remained calm, the Empress smiled gently, and even Huairou was suppressing a laugh.
Huaiyao said angrily, "What's so unpleasant about my crying?" Then, she glared at Yuan Yao and said, "Yuan Yao, let me hear you cry once!"
Yuan Yao: "..."
I really want to put a burlap sack over Princess Huaiyao's head!
They'll take them to a dark room and give them a good talking-to!
Yun Chan said to Consort Lin, "Although Princess Huaiyao has a fiery temper, she would never do something as underhanded as pushing someone into the water."
"Your Highness, just trust the princess and trust yourself."
Consort Lin understood: "Thank you."
Yun Chan nodded.
Huaiyao looked at Yunchan with surprise in his eyes.
However, she still gave Yun Chan a cold snort.
The Empress asked, "Yao'er, the banquet isn't over yet. Do you want to go back?"
Returning to the banquet?
There didn't seem to be anything fun at the banquet.
Yuan Yao looked at Huai Rou and Huai Yao and asked, "Are you going back?"
Huaiyao said, "I'm not going back!"
The banquet was not over yet, which meant that he would run into Bai Wantao, Gu Yucha and others again at the banquet.
She really didn't want to see this group of people at all!
So annoying!
Yuan Yao looked at the Empress and said in a childish voice, "Your Majesty, you and the Noble Consort should go back first. Yao'er and her sisters will stroll around the garden some more."
The Empress nodded, "Very well." After speaking, she instructed Huairou, "Huairou, keep a close eye on your sisters. If anything happens, send someone to find me as soon as possible."
Huairou nodded: "Don't worry, Mother."
The Empress glanced around the garden with unease, then left two clever young eunuchs behind before returning to her seat with Consort Lin…
In the garden, apart from two eunuchs, there were only four children.
Yuan Yao soothed Yun Chan, who kept tugging at her glutinous rice balls, and asked curiously, "Yun Chan, can I see the loach you caught?"
Yun Chan: "..."
After being separated from my little dumpling for over a month, when we met again, he was fishing for loaches...
With her ears slightly red, Yun Chan placed the basket and fishing rod on the ground together, then tilted the basket so Yuan Yao could see it.
Yuan Yao curiously leaned closer.
"Let me see! Let me see!" Huaiyao squeezed through and reached into the basket.
"Huaiyao!" Huairou stood to the side, utterly helpless.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yun Chan wanted to show the loach to Yuan Yao.
Unexpectedly, Huaiyao, who had no sense of propriety, squeezed through.
Yun Chan remained expressionless, allowing Huai Yao to put her hand inside.
Yuan Yao watched curiously, wanting to reach out as well.
At that moment, Yun Chan reacted quickly and grabbed her hand back.
Yuan Yao: "?"
She also wanted to touch the loach!
Live loach!
Yun Chan frowned: "Dirty."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao smiled and said, "It's alright, I don't mind the dirt!"
It's just mud in the lotus pond!
Bai Wantao drank quite a lot of water!
As she spoke, Yuan Yao reached her hand inside again.
Before the hand could even reach in, Huaiyao, who was usually quite bold, screamed in agony: "Ah..."
Yuan Yao jumped in fright: "What's wrong? What happened?"
What did you touch?
Huaiyao's features contorted in pain as she cried out, "Royal sister! Save me!"
