My dad told me that my mom used to come here often to eat steamed buns.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Jun Qingzhi thought about how every time she saw Xiao Xi'er, Xiao Xi'er was either with Qin Jue or with her friends. She had never met Xiao Xi'er's mother, and she became curious.
"Speaking of which, I haven't met Xi'er's mother yet~. Xi'er is so cute and beautiful, her mother must be very beautiful too."
"I also want to see Xi..."
Before Jun Qingzhi could finish speaking, Qin Jue interrupted her.
"Ahem... Xi'er, have you forgotten about your father again?"
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Xiao Xi'er's attention was immediately drawn to him, and she saw Qin Jue looking aggrieved.
"No, Xiaoxi loves Daddy the most~"
Xiao Xi'er stepped down from Jun Qingzhi's side and went to Qin Jue's side, reaching out to Qin Jue for a hug.
Qin Jue also picked up Xiao Xi'er.
Just as Xiao Xi'er hugged Qin Jue, Qin Jue gave Jun Qingzhi a warning look.
Jun Qingzhi was bewildered by Qin Jue's gaze, not knowing what she had done.
Jun Qingzhi quickly realized why; it must be because she had mentioned "Xi'er's mother."
"Young master, your steamed buns are ready."
"Three cages!"
The shopkeeper placed the steamed buns in front of Jun Qingzhi, then wiped his hands with the towel on his shoulder.
"Young master, please enjoy your meal—"
After saying that, the person left.
"Come on, little Xi'er, have a steamed bun."
Sanhezi opened the steamer basket and placed it in front of Qin Jue. Seeing Qin Jue wave his hand, he withdrew and sat down at the table next to Qin Jue.
Qin Jue picked up the chili, vinegar, and scallions from the table, put them in a small bowl, and started mixing.
Then he placed it in front of Xiaoxi'er, took out a handkerchief from his pocket with one hand and a pair of chopsticks with the other, and began wiping them with the handkerchief.
After wiping, I handed the chopsticks to Xiaoxi'er.
"Daddy taught you how to use chopsticks a few days ago, do you remember?"
"Mmm, I remember it too~ Aren't I amazing?"
Xiao Xi'er held the chopsticks in front of Qin Jue's eyes and waved them, letting Qin Jue see the chopsticks in his hand.
"Little Xi'er is the best!"
After Xiao Xi'er ate a steamed bun, she noticed that Jun Qingzhi hadn't eaten yet, so she looked up at Jun Qingzhi.
"Youluo, aren't you going to eat?"
I already ate.
"AoAo"
After saying that, Xiao Xi'er lowered her head and continued eating her steamed bun, calling out, "Daddy~"
Qin Jue glanced at Xiao Xi'er, whose face was smeared with chili oil, and a smile appeared on his face.
He wiped Xiaoxi'er's face with a handkerchief. "Daddy~, will you feed me~?"
"I keep dropping food into my plate!"
Xiao Xi'er recalled how she had just been eating with chopsticks, and before she could even finish, the food had fallen into her plate. She then picked it up again to eat.
After finally managing to get a bite, it fell back down after only two bites.
As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er gradually became aggrieved and angry, "Daddy~, I couldn't get any food just now, and you weren't going to help me~"
"Then...Daddy was wrong, okay?"
Qin Jue picked up a steamed bun with his chopsticks, dipped it in chili sauce, and fed it to Xiao Xi'er. Xiao Xi'er ate it.
As Xiao Xi'er turned her head to eat her steamed bun, Jun Qingzhi noticed the golden bell tied to Xiao Xi'er's hairband.
At a glance, I recognized it as the gold bell from the two pairs of bells I had given to Xiao Xi'er before.
He turned his head, not looking at Xiaoxi'er, but picked up the soy milk on the table.
Before drinking, you could see Jun Qingzhi's very obvious smile.
"Where does Xiaoxi want to go now?"
Xiao Xi'er thought for a moment after hearing Qin Jue's words, and looked at Jun Qingzhi.
"Youluo, have you bought any clothes yet?"
"Not yet. I'm waiting for Xi'er so she can pick out clothes for me."
After hearing this, Xiao Xi'er turned to Qin Jue and said, "Daddy, let's go shopping for clothes with Youluo!"
Qin Jue glanced at Jun Qingzhi, giving her a 'you're not worthy' look, and then glared at her with a threatening gaze.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: they wanted Jun Qingzhi to refuse and say she wouldn't go shopping for clothes.
But Jun Qingzhi didn't care about any of that. She simply smiled at Xiao Xi'er and said, "Okay."
Without hesitation, Jun Qingzhi, holding Xiao Xi'er's hand, walked up to Qin Jue.
Qin Jue turned his head slightly and spoke to You Geng.
"Jun Qingzhi, why are you so persistent? Tell Yu Ying to find a way to get him back to his own home."
"I will speak to Yu Ying."
Qin Jue looked at Xiao Xi'er, who was two steps away from him, took a step and walked to her side, holding Xiao Xi'er's chubby little hand in his.
They also pinched it a lot.
Where are we going to look for clothes?
Let's go to the hidden clothing storehouse.
Xiao Xi thought for a moment, and after confirming that she hadn't been there, she looked up at Jun Qingzhi.
"Youluo, take me with you, I don't know where I am."
"good"
Qin Jue remained silent, listening to Xiao Xi'er and Jun Qingzhi's conversation.
They talked and walked, and soon arrived at the 'Hidden Clothes Pavilion'.
"Is this the Hidden Clothing Pavilion?"
As soon as Xiao Xi'er stepped across the threshold, she asked Jun Qingzhi a question. Before Jun Qingzhi could answer, Xiao Xi'er continued talking to herself.
Wow—so many clothes!
"This room for storing clothes is just as big as the place where I store clothes in my apartment."
Jun Qingzhi didn't even raise an eyebrow when she heard Xiao Xi'er's words; she acted as if she hadn't heard them at all.
In my heart, I was already wondering where Xiao Xi'er's house was. A room as big as the clothing storage room meant she must be a young lady from a wealthy family.
And they weren't just any ordinary wealthy family. Otherwise, they wouldn't have provided such a large room just for a little girl to store her clothes.
Jun Qingzhi had already begun to speculate.
Qin Jue glanced at Jun Qingzhi without showing any emotion, raised an eyebrow, and inwardly felt quite displeased with her.
This kid, does he really think that just because he's expressionless, I have no idea what he's thinking?
If that's the case, then all these years I've been emperor have been for nothing. I might as well abdicate and hand over the throne to a more worthy successor.
"Youluo, what color clothes do you like?"
"I'll like anything Xi'er picks out for me."
"Really?"
"real"
Xiao Xi'er happily started picking, and Jun Qingzhi soon realized she had been proven wrong by her own words.
Xiao Xi'er was standing in front of a pink dress, looking at it again and again. Imitating a man next to her, she stroked her chin and nodded.
Then he called out to Jun Qingzhi behind him.
"Youluo Guoguo—"
"They're here! They're here!"
Hearing Xiao Xi'er's cry, Jun Qingzhi walked to Xiao Xi'er's side.
"What's wrong, Xi'er?"
"Hey Youluo, I saw a dress, it's really pretty."
"Youluo will definitely like it too, and maybe she'll look great in it."
Hearing Xiao Xi'er's words, Jun Qingzhi couldn't wait to know what clothes Xiao Xi'er was talking about.
