Upon hearing Wei Linglong's words, Xiao Banzi immediately knelt down at Wei Linglong's feet and kowtowed.
"This servant thanks Your Majesty for sparing my life."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will certainly accomplish this task."
"Remember, this must not be known to anyone else, otherwise..."
Hearing this, Xiao Ban started trembling again in fear.
"The lackey's mouth is very tight."
"Step down."
"This servant takes his leave."
After leaving the room, Xiao Banzi touched his chest and exhaled several times.

"Daddy~, will you play with me?"
Hearing Xiao Xi'er clinging to his leg and acting coquettishly, Qin Jue picked her up and sat her on his lap.
"How about we wait until Father finishes reading these two memorials?"
These are the two books we'll take.
Xiao Xi'er glanced at the memorials Qin Jue was carrying in one hand, nodded, and said, "Alright then~"
"Good girl~, Daddy will be there soon."
As he spoke, Qin Jue patted Xiao Xi'er's head and began to read the two memorials.
Xiao Xi'er also picked up a memorial and started reading it, imitating Qin Jue.
After Qin Jue finished reading, he saw Xiao Xi'er holding the memorial, her dark eyes blinking rapidly.
"Did you understand, Xiaoxi?"
No.
"Heh~"
When Xiao Xi'er saw Qin Jue smile, she put down the memorial in her hand and glared angrily at him.
"snort!"
"Daddy's naughty~, Daddy's actually smiling~"
"Father wasn't laughing at Xiaoxi'er, Father just thinks Xiaoxi'er is too cute."
Really? I think I'm cute too!
Little Xi'er cupped her face in her hands and smiled.
"Where does Little Xi'er want to go? Or what would you like Daddy to play with you?"
"Father~, I want you and I to take me out of the palace~"
Hehehe
Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Qin Jue immediately picked her up and walked away.
"Daddy, aren't we going to change our clothes?"
"No need, as long as we don't wear bright yellow clothes or clothes with dragons or phoenixes on them when we go out, it'll be fine."
Hearing Qin Jue's words, Xiao Xi'er lowered her head, looked at her own clothes, and then looked at Qin Jue's clothes.
"Daddy, what are those flowers on our clothes?"
"This is a crane."
"Oh my~"
Xiao Xi'er looked at the crane on her skirt, then at the crane on Qin Jue's clothes.
"Daddy~, these two cranes, one is Daddy~, and the other is the nest."
"Is that right?"
Qin Jue got into the carriage and sat down, answering Xiao Xi'er's questions.
"Yes. Whatever Xiaoxi says is right."
"whee"
The carriage began to move, advancing forward.
"Daddy~, I want to go to the place where Mommy ate steamed buns before."
"Can I try Mommy's steamed buns too?"
"Okay, if Xiaoxi wants to eat, then we'll go eat."
Hearing Qin Jue agree, Xiao Xi'er happily sat on Qin Jue's lap, swinging her short little legs.
"Zou Heng, go to Nanji Steamed Bun Shop on North Street."
"Yes, Master."
Zou Heng, sitting in the front, drove the carriage, turned right, and then continued straight.
Upon arriving at Nanji Steamed Bun Shop, Zou Heng had the carriage stop.
"Whoa—"
"Master, we've arrived."
Zou Heng parked the carriage next to Nanji Steamed Bun Shop, then got out and lifted the curtain to speak to Qin Jue and Xiao Xi'er inside.
Yu Qian, who was sitting in his seat eating a steamed bun, saw Xiao Xi'er, dressed in a moon-white dress, standing in front of the carriage and called out to Yu Feng.
"Yu Qian, what are you doing? Don't disgust me if you're not going to eat."
Yu Feng looked at the food that had been spat out because of Yu Qian's words and showed a look of disgust.
"Yu Feng, isn't that little baby Miss Xiao?"
Yu Feng, who was sitting face-to-face with Yu Qian eating steamed buns, turned around and looked back.
Then they saw Qin Jue standing on the ground, reaching out to lift Xiao Xi'er down from the carriage.
"Young master, it's Miss Xiao and her father."
Upon hearing Yu Feng's words, Jun Qingzhi turned around and saw Qin Jue carrying Xiao Xi'er towards the steamed bun shop.
"Father, is this the steamed bun shop where Mother ate her buns?"
"Yes, your mother used to come here often to eat steamed buns."
"At first she didn't like it, but after eating it more often, she thought it was pretty good, and so she started bringing me here to eat every time we went out."
Xiao Xi looked ahead and saw that Jun Qingzhi was also looking over, and their eyes met.
"Daddy~, it's Youluo!"
Upon hearing the name Youluo, Qin Jue looked in the direction Xiao Xi'er was looking and saw Jun Qingzhi getting up from her seat and walking towards him and Xiao Xi'er.
"What a coincidence, Xi'er, I knew we were destined to be together!"
"Look, we meet again."
Jun Qingzhi walked up to Qin Jue and spoke to Xiao Xi'er.
Yes, yes.
"whee"
Xiao Xi glanced at Yu Feng and Yu Qian, who were still standing in the steamed bun shop behind Jun Qingzhi, tilted her head, and thought for a moment.
"Youluo, are you eating steamed buns here too?"
"Yes, is Xi'er here to eat steamed buns too?"
"Mmm, I'll eat with Daddy!"
As Xiao Xi'er spoke, she glanced at Qin Jue and gave him a sweet smile.
"You really are a persistent ghost—!"
Qin Jue looked at Jun Qingzhi and Yu Feng and Yu Qian behind her, talking leisurely with disdain in his eyes.
"Let's go, Xi'er, the steamed buns here taste pretty good."
Xiao Xi'er slid off Qin Jue and walked up to Jun Qingzhi.
"Youluo, look at me and my daddy~"
