The steward was so frightened by the old man's words that he immediately knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, spare my life..."
"roll!"
The Ninth Prince impatiently flicked his sleeve.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The steward left, crawling on his knees.
Yuan Yao could tell that her father was still angry.
It's all Xie Ning's fault!
Yuan Yao's small face was filled with deep sorrow.
My father is angry, how should I appease him?
Just then, the glutinous rice ball, having finished its playful antics, rolled over here, round and plump, like a glutinous rice dumpling…
It looks exactly like a husky!
Got it!
Just as the Ninth Prince was in a bad mood, he heard Yuan Yao's childish voice calling out to him, "Daddy, come and look at me!"
The Ninth Prince frowned and lowered his eyes.
On the ground, Yuan Yao squatted down, straightened his back, clenched his fists and placed them above his head, raising his index and middle fingers as ears: "Daddy, next is the moment to witness the tiger turn into a puppy, don't blink!"
After speaking, she said to Tangyuan, "Tangyuan, sit down!"
Tangyuan tilted her head, stared at Yuanyao for a moment, then sat down decisively and straightened her back.
Yuan Yao chuckled and continued issuing commands: "Stick out your tongue."
As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue and made a couple of light licks.
Tangyuan shook its little ears, opened its mouth, and bared its teeth: "Ouch..."
His little expression is quite fierce.
Yuan Yao: "..."
She stuck out her tongue: "Like this, hee hee hee..."
Tangyuan flicked her tongue: "Awooooo..."
Ouch! I bit my tongue!
With her big, wet, icy blue eyes wide open, Tangyuan stood up and snuggled into Yuan Yao's arms, complaining pitifully as she did so: "Aww..."
It hurts so much!
Yuan Yao was speechless with exasperation.
Unable to appease her father, she now tries to appease the tiger cubs instead...
She pulled the glutinous rice ball's head out and said in a childish voice, "Ah...open your mouth and let me see."
"Aww..."
It hurts so much!
Tangyuan drooped her head, sobbing, and burrowed into Yuanyao's arms, seeking comfort.
Suddenly, a very faint laugh came from above: "Heh..."
Yuan Yao looked up.
The Ninth Prince's lips curled up, his narrow eyes gleaming upwards at the corners, and he said, "In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen such a stupid tiger."
"King of beasts? He's more like a stupid dog."
His voice was quite pleasant.
Yuan Yao stroked Tangyuan's head and asked him, "Daddy, are you not angry anymore?"
The Ninth Prince's lips curled up again.
I'm really not angry anymore.
Yuan Yao stood up happily: "It's good that Father is not angry anymore! Yao'er was so scared just now!"
Are you scared?
The Ninth Prince frowned reflexively, his slender fingers stroking his cheek: "Did Father look very fierce just now?"
Yuan Yao nodded emphatically: "Yes! Daddy is super fierce!"
The Ninth Prince was surprised at first, then bent down to scoop Yuan Yao up: "It's Father's fault for scaring little Yao. Father will be more careful in the future and won't lose his temper."
"Mmm! Don't be angry, don't be angry. If you get angry, no one will take your place!" Yuan Yao wrapped her little arms around the Ninth Prince's neck.
She is cute and adorable, with a sweet and gentle voice.
The Ninth Prince was overjoyed by the flattery.
He picked her up with one arm and strode out of the backyard: "Come on, Father will take you to have dinner."
The abandoned tiger cub, with tears in its eyes, wagged its tail and followed, "Awooo..."
Wait for it!
Dinner was served at the private residence.
A whole table was filled with freshly slaughtered yellow cattle for a feast.
Braised beef slices, boiled beef, stir-fried beef with scallions, beef meatball soup, grilled beef skewers...
Yuan Yao used all sorts of coquettishness to get a taste of everything.
Ancient seasonings were far inferior to modern ones, but fortunately the beef was tender and all-natural, so the taste was still quite good...
After we finished eating, the sun had already set.
Before returning to the palace, Yuan Yao let out a burp, her little voice tinged with shyness: "Daddy, could Yao'er take some of the beef from dinner back with her?"
She stood Yun Chan up today, and knowing his stubborn nature, he's probably still angry with her! She needs to bring him something back to appease him...
The Ninth Prince saw through Yuan Yao's thoughts at a glance.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly, his voice devoid of emotion: "My little Yao'er is quite fond of that young prince of Chu?"
like?
That's not quite right to say it.
Yuan Yao explained, "Yun Chan is good-looking, so Yao'er wanted to talk to him."
Is Yun Chan good-looking?
The Ninth Prince's expression was somewhat strange: "Little Yao'er thinks Yun Chan is handsome, so she wants to play with him?"
“Yes!” Yuan Yao nodded.
If Yun Chan is ugly, why would she bother with him?
She's not exactly free!
For example, Xie Zhi and Lin Xuan recently lost their baby teeth, so they have a lisp when they speak, and when they smile, their mouths are full of missing teeth, so she doesn't really want to talk to them...
Seeing his little dumpling looking innocent and bewildered, the Ninth Prince was somewhat gratified.
Before leaving his private residence, he had a food box filled with beef placed on his carriage.
When the father and daughter returned to Qianhua Palace, the palace was already lit up.
Li Deshan had been waiting for an unknown amount of time. Upon seeing the person, he wiped his sweat and said softly, "Your Majesty, the Emperor requests your presence."
"I'm not going," the Ninth Prince refused decisively.
Li Deshan wiped away another cold sweat: "The Emperor already knows about what happened at the National Academy today. He said that since you wouldn't let him come to Qianhua Palace, he had no choice but to invite you to Yong'an Palace."
It turns out it was about the National Academy.
It's probably Jiang Chengyan's doing.
The Ninth Prince waved his wide sleeves unhappily and said to Yuan Yao, "Little Yao, Father will go and come back quickly. Go to Chaoyun Palace and take a look, then come back immediately."
"Yes, Father." Yuan Yao obediently replied.
Soon, the Ninth Prince departed.
Yuan Yao ordered the kitchen to serve her a bowl of ginseng soup, and then she called Danqing to go to Chaoyun Palace together.
On the way, Yuan Yao asked, "Did Yun Chan eat a lot for dinner?"
Danqing said gently, "Prince Yun only drank a few sips of chicken soup."
You only drank the soup?
I suspect she stood me up and got angry...
Upon entering the Pillow Star Hall of Chaoyun Palace, Yuan Yao sweetly called out from the entrance, "Yun Chan, I've come to see you!"
On the bed, the bed curtains swayed slightly, and Yun Chan shrank into the quilt, remaining motionless.
Yuan Yao walked to the bedside, stood on tiptoe, and saw Yun Chan lying flat on the bed, with only her fluffy head showing.
His eyes were closed and his breathing was even.
If it weren't for her constantly moving eyelids, Yuan Yao would have almost been fooled.
She wasn't in a hurry. She started directing the palace maids, some to fetch water, some to move small tables, and others to take beef and ginseng soup out of the food box.
After doing all this, she clapped her hands and said to Danqing, "Sister Danqing, Yunchan probably wants to sleep a little longer. Let's go check on Aqi first!"
I wonder how Ah Qi is doing. I miss him a lot!
After speaking, she straightened her skirt and walked loudly towards the side room with her short legs.
Yun Chan on the bed: "..."
Yun Chan gripped the blanket tightly with her small hands and coughed forcefully: "Cough cough cough..."
Yuan Yao winked at Danqing.
Danqing picked up the food box and said gently with a smile, "This servant will go to see Aqi first. Please call me if the princess needs anything."
Yuan Yao returned to the bedside, quickly kicked off her shoes, and climbed onto the bed with difficulty, using her little hands to reach the edge of the bed: "Yun Chan, you're awake?"
Yun Chan coughed until her face was red and her voice was a little hoarse: "You...aren't you going to see A Qi? Go see him, don't look at me!"
