Just as Xiao Xi'er was laughing happily, Lu Yuan, who had received orders from the shadows, walked in through the door.
"Princess, His Majesty is looking for you."
"Who are you? Are you from the palace?"
Upon seeing Lu Yuan, who was not dressed as a palace maid, Qin Jingtai immediately became alert and stood in front of Xiao Xi'er.
"Sister Lu Yuan~"
"You know her, little sister?"
"Uh-huh"
When Qin Jue decided to send Lu Yuan and Bai Zhong to Xiao Xi'er's side, he had already introduced Xiao Xi'er to Lu Yuan and Bai Zhong.
So Xiaoxi knows Lu Yuan
After seeing Xiao Xi'er nod, Qin Jingtai relaxed his guard, but still stood in front of her.
"Brother, Sister Lu Yuan was given to me by Father."
Hearing this, Qin Jingtai finally stopped blocking Xiao Xi'er.
"Sister Lu Yuan, is it Father looking for me?"
"Yes, Princess."
Hearing Qin Jue looking for his Xiao Xi'er, he glanced at Qin Jingtai and said...
"Brother, I'm leaving now~"
"Okay, bye-bye, little sister."
Little Xi'er ran back inside after leaving the house, "Brother, can I take this with me?"
Xiao Xi'er pointed to the painting on the small couch, and Qin Jingtai glanced at it and immediately nodded.
"Take it, little sister."
"Thank you, buddy."
Xiao Xi hugged Qin Jingtai and tugged at his sleeve. Qin Jingtai thought Xiao Xi wanted to say something more, so he squatted down.
Unexpectedly, after squatting down, Xiao Xi'er kissed him. After the kiss, Xiao Xi'er waved to Qin Jingtai and went out the door.
Climbing onto Shating's back, we left Liuyun Pavilion.
As for Qin Jingtai, he was still basking in the dazed feeling of being kissed by Xiao Xi'er.
"Kitties~, let's go back to our nest."
As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er reached out and patted Sha Ting's head, "Run, kitty, run!"
I am a tiger, not a cat!!
No, there isn't.
I believe you!
As the man and the tiger talked, they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Upon seeing Qin Jue, Xiao Xi'er tried to jump off Sha Ting, but Sha Ting, sensing her intention, stopped and allowed her to land safely.
After Xiao Xi'er got down, she ran towards Qin Jue.
"Daddy~"
"Oh, where did Xiaoxi go to play? I almost thought she didn't want her daddy anymore!"
"Daddy, hug me~"
"You've been out playing all day and haven't even thought about your daddy, and you still want me to carry you? No way!"
Qin Jue said he wouldn't carry her, but he still picked her up anyway, and after picking her up, he didn't forget to pat Xiao Xi'er's bottom.
"Daddy~"
"Now you know how to call me 'Dad'?"
"Hehe, I'm hungry, Daddy~"
"They only call for their dad when they're hungry, sigh~"
"Mu ah"
Xiao Xi'er kissed Qin Jue on the cheek, and Qin Jue said nothing.
"You know to call for Daddy when you're hungry, that's smart of you."
"whee"
"Roar—"
Xiao Xi'er, who was chatting and laughing with Qin Jue, heard Sha Ting's call and patted Qin Jue on the shoulder.
"Father, there are still some things we haven't taken."
"What is that?"
"The drawing on the cat's back~"
Upon hearing what Xiao Xi'er said, Qin Jue walked up to Sha Ting, bent down, and picked up the scroll from Sha Ting's back.
"What's this?"
"I saw this when Third Brother took me to Second Brother's place to play, and then I wanted to show it to Daddy, so Third Brother gave it to me."
Holding Xiao Xi'er in one arm and the painting in the other, Qin Jue never expected that the painting would be taken from the second and third sons because they wanted to show it to him.
"Then Father, you must take a good look, take a good look at what Little Xi'er wants Father to see."
"Uh-huh"
After arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qin Jue held Xiao Xi'er and ate the meal first, then sat down on the bench in the main hall.
He placed the scroll on the table, opened it, and began to examine its contents one by one.
After looking at two paintings, Qin Jue knew that the person in the painting was Zou Heng. As for the painting skills, it was Qin Jingmu who painted it, because Qin Jingtai did not have that ability!
"Does Xiaoxi know who the person in the painting is?"
"Know"
"It's Uncle Heng (Zou Heng)."
"That's clever. Let's do a good deed then."
"What good news, Father?"
Confused, Xiao Xi looked up at Qin Jue, wondering what good deed he was up to.
"Of course it should be returned to its rightful owner, you silly goose!"
"Hmph, you stinky daddy, I'm not stupid. Are you saying we should return it to Second Brother?"
Hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Qin Jue shook his head, "Since this is a drawing of Zou Heng, then give it to Zou Heng. Why give it to your second brother?"
"Oh right, this should be Uncle Hengheng (Zou Heng)."
"clever"
As he spoke, Qin Jue gently patted Xiao Xi'er's head.
"Yu Ying, didn't you hear what Xiao Xi'er said?"
"Why haven't you sent Zou Heng's things over yet?"
Just as Qin Jue called out to Yu Ying, Yu Ying emerged from the shadows and picked up the painting in front of Qin Jue.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be delivered to Zou Heng."
As he spoke, Yu Ying revealed a malicious smile, glanced at Qin Jue, and the two instantly understood each other's meaning.
"Uncle Yuyu (Yuying), you're so kind~"
"No one is as good as our little Xi'er."
Yu Ying couldn't help but reach out and pat Xiao Xi'er's head when she saw her.
He ran away after touching her, afraid that Qin Jue would slap him.
Let alone slapping her, Qin Jue didn't even bother with Yu Ying. After all, it was his daughter, and Yu Ying couldn't take her away.
"Daddy~"
"What's wrong?"
"Didn't Father notice anything?"
