Chapter 14 Okay, I’m out!
Xiao Mingxuan's eyes flashed, he stepped onto the table and caught Xihe who had slipped from the tree.
A strong wind blew past her ears, and Xihe fell into a slightly warm embrace.
Even after landing on the ground, the little girl still hadn't come back to her senses, and looked as if she was daydreaming.
Xiao Mingxuan sneered, "I thought you were so brave that you dared to climb a tree."
Xihe finally recovered and looked at Xiao Mingxuan with bright eyes, her surprise unconcealed. "You saved Xihe again."
"You know?"
He didn't directly come forward about the matter of the cold palace, but he didn't expect that this little girl actually knew about it.
Xihe nodded and reached out to put her arms around Xiao Mingxuan's neck.
Xiao Mingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Let go!"
Xihe was startled. The way her hand was half-closed made people who didn't know what was going on think she was hesitant to refuse.
Why is this Ninth Prince so fierce? He’s not cute at all. We should just take him out and sell him.
After warning Zhao Xihe, Xiao Mingxuan handed the little girl over to Yun Hui.
Unexpectedly, Xihe refused to do so and jumped out of Yunhui's arms. She was about to rush into Xiao Mingxuan's arms, "Brother, hug me."
Xiao Mingxuan accidentally knocked over the teacup, and the water flowed down the stone table.
"What did you call me?"
"Little brother?" Xihe was confused. Could it be that the Ninth Prince was younger than her? "Then...brother?"
Xiao Mingxuan's face suddenly darkened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the small garlic sprouts in front of him.
Just when Xihe thought the boy would ignore her, a hand reached out and pinched her soft little face.
Xiao Mingxuan said in a bad tone, "How dare you!"
Xihe was frightened and shrank back immediately. He was just a brother, why was he so mean?
After scaring the child, Xiao Mingxuan poured another cup of tea and looked at the little girl on the other side who was hesitating, as if she wanted to come over but didn't dare to. He just felt funny in his heart.
"I thought you were so bold, you quail."
"Xihe is not a quail!" The little girl's momentum was immediately aroused. She closed her eyes and took advantage of Xiao Mingxuan's inattention to sit directly on his legs, holding his waist tightly with her hands.
Xiao Mingxuan was stunned. He looked at the little ball in his arms in disbelief and even forgot to swallow the water.
"No...this is inappropriate! What kind of talk is this? Get out of here!"
Xiao Mingxuan pulled Xihe down and pressed her down on the stone bench beside her. She twisted her hands in frustration and curled up into a ball.
Xihe looked up quietly and found that Xiao Mingxuan's face was so red that she couldn't hold the water steady and accidentally swept it onto her clothes.
As if he was a little angry, Xiao Mingxuan put the cup heavily on the table to cover up his panic.
Xihe laughed out loud without giving him any face, and tentatively moved closer, "Little brother, are you shy?"
Xiao Mingxuan was so angry that he almost laughed.
What a quail, she's simply a queen of flowers.
"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll throw you out and let the wolves eat you!" Xiao Mingxuan threatened the child in a vicious tone.
Xihe immediately retreated and quietly took out a plate of cakes from behind her back, with a flattering smile on her face, "Little brother, don't be angry, eat the cakes."
Yun Hui seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Princess, do you remember that you promised to give this to the eldest prince?
At this time, Xihe had already forgotten her dear royal brother, so it would be better to appease the big bad wolf in front of her.
She doesn't want to be thrown to the wolves!
Xiao Mingxuan picked up a piece of cake and looked at it. "Is this a thank you gift?"
Xihe nodded hurriedly, "Little brother, thank you for saving Xihe."
Xiao Mingxuan took a bite and found it tasted really good, many times better than what he usually ate.
He wasn't paying attention and the little girl crawled into his arms again, and he couldn't stop her.
Xiao Mingxuan was about to push the person down again when he felt a touch of warmth on his face and subconsciously widened his eyes.
"Zhao Xihe! What are you doing!"
Xiao Mingxuan pulled the person down, looked into the little girl's confused eyes, and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Yun Hui was so frightened by her princess's behavior that she lost her balance and almost fainted.
My princess, she got a big one when she was holding it in.
"A thank you gift." Xihe seemed unaware of the problem. "Little brother, you saved Xihe twice. Gaogao gave me the first time, and just now was the second time."
Xiao Mingxuan's mouth twitched, "Are you always so grateful to people?"
Xihe tilted her head and thought for a moment, then counted on her fingers, "There's daddy, there's mother, there's big brother, and there's..."
"Stop!" Xiao Mingxuan felt that he needed to impart some common sense to this naive and stupid little girl.
"Little girl, do you know that men and women should not touch each other?"
"Ah? Men and women can't kiss?" Xihe bit her hand habitually, "Then brother can't kiss me either?"
Xiao Mingxuan was stunned. "Men and women can't do that. I don't count."
The little girl was even more confused and reached out to take off Xiao Mingxuan's clothes, "Aren't you a man? I don't believe it! Let me see."
"Zhao Xihe! That's enough!" Xiao Mingxuan quickly grabbed Xihe's hand, refusing to let her move. "If you move again, you'll... you'll just get out of here."
How did Zhao Yuheng raise a child who keeps teasing people?
Xihe suddenly stopped moving, with a few tears still in her eyes.
"You're mean to me!"
Xiao Mingxuan: “…”Okay, I’ll get out of here.
After coaxing her for a quarter of an hour, she was finally coaxed into submission. Xihe sniffed and sat obediently in Xiao Mingxuan's arms, eating pastries.
Xiao Mingxuan was too lazy to chase her away, as she would rush up anyway.
One person reads a book, the other eats, and a strange harmony spreads.
As the sun set in the west, Yun Hui forced herself to cheer up and walked forward under Xiao Mingxuan's freezing gaze.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, it's time for the young prince to return to the Vanity Palace. If you're late, the Empress will be worried."
Xihe, who was dozing in Xiao Mingxuan's arms, slowly woke up, "Sister Yunhui, let's go home."
The little princess stretched out her arms towards Yunhui. Yunhui stared at the Ninth Prince with murderous eyes and took her little princess in.
His arms suddenly felt empty, and Xiao Mingxuan's eyes darkened. The ink-black color in the depths of his eyes became even deeper.
It’s better for him to leave. Who wants this little crybaby?
"Little brother, I will come to see you tomorrow. Xihe will bring you some delicious cakes." The little girl was so sleepy that she didn't forget to say goodbye to Xiao Mingxuan.
tomorrow?
Xiao Mingxuan put down the book in his hand and stared at Xihe with a sharp look. The coldness on his body gradually spread, causing Xihe to shiver.
"what ever."
After saying this, Xiao Mingxuan turned and left.
Tomorrow? Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Who knows, the little girl might go back to sleep and forget about him completely.
When they were almost at the gate of Fuhua Palace, Xihe saw the ceremonial guard at the gate from afar.
The great tyrant daddy is here.
"Daddy, I'm back."
