"Xiaoyu, don't worry, I'll definitely help you deal with the princess."
"Xiaoyu, you're an empress, isn't it easy for you to teach a mere princess a lesson?"
Hearing Xiao Banzi mention Xiao Xi'er, Tang Yu's eyes gradually cleared again.
How could I possibly marry a eunuch like him? I'm destined to be an empress, second only to the emperor!
"Yeah, that little bitch dared to ignore me? I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget!!!"
As Tang Yu spoke, she adopted a haughty and determined demeanor, as if she were the right wife.
"I'm going back to Zizhu Pavilion."
"Xiaoyu, take this. It's a gift from the Empress. I'm a man, so I don't need it."
"You're a young woman, and you'll become an empress someday. You'll find these things useful."
Tang Yu looked at the exquisite jade bracelet and hairpin that Xiao Banzi handed her, her eyes filled with greed.
"snort"
The small board was handed to Tang Yu, who accepted the bracelet and hairpin without any hesitation.
After taking the things, Tang Yu left.
After Tang Yu left, Bai Cai came out. He thought, "This time, things were handled well."
"I'll need Miss Bai to put in a good word for me with Her Majesty."
Xiao Banzi looked at Bai Cai with eagerness.
"Hmph, you'll get your share of the rewards if you do a good job of handling the matter the Empress instructed."
Bai Cai also left.
Liuyun Pavilion
Sha Ting carried Xiao Xi'er straight into Liuyun Pavilion.
"Big pot, big pot!"
Shatin was so fast that no one could even see what ran in through the main gate.
All that could be heard were children's voices calling out "Big brother, big brother!"
"Big brother, I've come to find you~"
Sha Ting led Xiao Xi'er across the main courtyard to where Qin Jingyao lived.
"What is that??"
"White Tiger?"
Tang Shiya was walking out when she saw a white figure leading a person dressed in red.
Hearing the words "big brother" again, he had some guesses in his mind. Watching the two figures running away, he tentatively asked...
"Is it the little princess?"
"What did you say, Your Majesty?"
Upon hearing Tang Shiya's words, Zisu asked in confusion.
"Zisu, send someone to check if the little princess has arrived in Gui'er's courtyard."
"If the little princess comes looking for you, let them have dinner in the main hall tonight."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will go right away."
After listening to Tang Shiya's words, Zisu bowed and went to do what Tang Shiya had instructed.
Sha Ting had already brought Xiao Xi'er to the palace where Qin Jingyao was staying.
Sha Ting lay down on the ground, and Xiao Xi climbed down from his back, slowly making her way to Qin Jingyi's room.
"Hey big brother~, I've come looking for you, are you there?"
Xiao Xi tried to push the door, but found it wouldn't open no matter what she did. She then looked at Sha Ting, who was following behind her.
Shating walked to Xiaoxi'er's side, raised its front paw, and pushed towards the closed door.
Qin Jingyi, who was inside the door, heard Xiao Xi'er calling him and walked to the door to open it.
Before Qin Jingyi's hand could even touch the door, it was pushed open by Sha Ting with his tiger claws.
The man and the tiger locked eyes.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Xi'er saw Qin Jingyao and happily rushed over to hug him.
"Big pot, big pot!"
"Why is Xiao Si here?"
Qin Jingyao picked up Xiao Xi'er, who was clinging to his leg, and carried her into the house.
"Big Brother, I heard you cooked something delicious for me, right?"
Upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's question, Qin Jingyao quickly understood her ulterior motives.
"What, you want to eat your brother's cooking?"
"Uh-huh"
"After I got hurt last time, Daddy said I was too young and wouldn't let me go to the palace school."
"And then I never ate anything delicious cooked in a big pot again."
"Alright, just for what you said, Little Si'er, even if I hadn't made it before, I'd still go and make it for you."
"Hehe, big pot is so nice~"
Qin Jingyao patted Xiao Xi'er's head and said with a smile, "Little Si'er, do you want to come to the kitchen with your brother and watch him cook?"
"Is my nest okay?"
"Of course!"
"Let's all go together then!"
Qin Jingyao carried Xiao Xi'er into the kitchen.
"What would you like to eat, Little Si'er?"
"Hmm... I want to eat steamed buns."
Qin Jingyi started by scooping flour into a bowl, adding water, and beginning to cook.
Xiao Xi looked at the flour in the flour bin, and finding that she could touch it, she reached in, grabbed a handful, and squeezed it.
Much of the flour slipped through Xiaoxi'er's fingers.
Xiao Xi quickly used her other hand to continue holding the flour.
"Little Si'er, what are you doing?"
"I want to make bags just like you!"
Xiao Xi'er held a handful of flour in each hand and looked up at Qin Jingyi.
"How about Little Si'er goes with her brother?"
"Okay~"
Qin Jingyi found a small jar, placed a cutting board on its rim, and moved a small stool for Xiao Xi'er, placing it behind her.
Xiao Xi'er sat down on the stool, propped her arms on her legs, and rested her head on her hands, watching Qin Jingyi holding something.
Qin Jingyi took a small bowl, scooped out some flour, added an appropriate amount of water, and then placed it on the cutting board in front of Xiao Xi'er.
"Xiao Si, now use your hand, like this..."
Qin Jingyi carried the bowl of flour he had used to knead dough to Xiao Xi'er and squatted down.
Show Xiaoxi'er how to knead flour by hand.
