Seeing that his mother was ignoring him, Qin Jingke continued to whine and plead.
"Mother, Mother, please, I'll share some of it with my sister, okay?"
Xiao Liyun snapped out of her daze and glanced at Qin Jingke.
How do you plan to divide it?
"How can Mother treat Keke the same way she treats my sister?"
At this moment, Qin Jingke could never have imagined that one day he would be complaining.
My mother treats my older sister better than I do, and I feel like I'm not her biological daughter anymore.
"Alright, Mother agrees to Keke's request."
Xiao Liyun was initially worried that Ke Ke would be angry if she treated Xiao Xi'er well.
Now that Keke brought it up herself, I feel relieved and can treat Xiaoxi'er even better from now on.
"But Ke Ke must promise her mother that she will not mention her sister's mother in front of her."
"Don't worry, Mother. Ke Ke will never make my sister unhappy."
Xiao Liyun smiled and patted Qin Jingke's head, while Liu Si was also happy for her mistress.
Unexpectedly, the young prince accepted the little princess so quickly.
"Mother, when will I be able to see my sister?"
Qin Jingke puffed out his cheeks, his eyes filled with the desire to see his older sister.
Don't worry, you'll definitely see it.
Xiao Liyun affectionately pinched Qin Jingke's nose, then looked at the pot of 'Yao Huang' peonies by the window.

Little Xi'er nestled on Qin Jue's shoulder, nibbling on her fingers.
"Father, let's go to Lali (there)!"
"You're so old, and you're still sucking your fingers? Aren't you ashamed?"
"You'll have eaten all your little fingers in no time!"
When Xiaoxi heard that she would eat her fingers, she was so scared that she quickly put her hand down.
Put both hands behind your back
"I'm not ashamed at all."
"Xi'er, you can touch the cow (but you don't suck your fingers)?"
"Clearly resembles (is) Father"
"Father is naughty, he dares not admit it, but still says it's his little one."
Qin Jue felt quite helpless listening to the little dumpling earnestly shift the blame onto him.
This little one just takes advantage of how much I spoil her.
"You want to know where to go?"
"Uh-huh"
Little Xi'er's little head bobbed up and down.
"How about we go play in the Imperial Garden?"
"Yay, yay!"
"Father, Cen Hao (So good)"
Xiao Xi clapped her hands in agreement, revealing her two little dimples.

"Master, could you please stop scaring me like that?"
To express how frightened he was, Qin Jingtai patted his chest.
"I thought you were signaling for some severe punishment for me and my brother, but nothing happened."
"How dare your subordinates punish His Highnesses?"
Qin Jingmu had a feeling something was wrong. Zou Heng was his father's man, and he didn't give any face to anyone except his father.
Not to mention the two unfavored princes, no, this is really wrong.
Qin Jingmu was looking around, still wondering what punishment Zou Heng would use this time, when he saw…
"Master, you're so kind! This time you only made my brother and me do handstands."
"You're welcome, Third Prince. It's what I should do."
"Qin Jingtai, do you really think it's as simple as just throwing it away?"
Isn't that so?
"Then look at my left side."
Qin Jingtai's emotions visibly shifted from initial joy at thinking it was just something that had been thrown away, to confusion when his elder brother asked him a question, and finally to his current terror.
"Tiger, brother, brother... tiger"
"Roar~"
The tiger's roar reached their ears, and their faces turned pale.
"Master...Master, you...you can't...murder your disciple!"
Zou Heng suppressed a laugh upon hearing the Third Prince's trembling voice.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will not let Your Highness die."
Qin Jingtai was even more terrified. They wouldn't let him die? Did they mean they'd let him be half-eaten by a tiger?
Before Qin Jingtai could even begin to daydream...
Just then, the tiger leaped up, its mouth agape so wide that even my head wouldn't be enough for it to eat.
He jumped up and tried to slap his head with his hand.
Qin Jingtai was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Zou Heng anticipated Qin Jingtai's reaction: fear and terror.
But this… the Second Prince, aside from his initial fear and terror, has only turned pale now; he doesn't seem as terrified as he was at the beginning.
"You, come here."
Zou Heng summoned another guard and whispered something in his ear. The guard gave the two princes a sympathetic look and then withdrew.
Not long after, the guard from before returned with his men, carrying a large basin of meat.
Zou Heng ordered his men to tie the meat to ropes, and then tie the ropes to the trees.
As the flesh drooped down, it landed just below the heads of Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai.
The white tiger saw its lunch and jumped even more energetically.
"Ahhhh—"
The first failure was accompanied by Qin Jingtai's roar. Was the white tiger getting impatient?
They decisively switched sides. Qin Jingmu's side attempted a second jump, but failed again.
Unlike Qin Jingtai, Qin Jingmu didn't scream in terror, but her pale face clearly showed her inner fear.
The white tiger, seeing the upside-down "bat" without howling, attempted a third jump.
Qin Jingtai saw the tiger's mouth wide open, aimed at his elder brother's head, and screamed in terror.
"Brother...you...your...head...ahhh—"
This time, the tiger got its wish and ate the meat. In a good mood, it took a few steps on the ground.
