Xiao Xi'er held her clasped hands up in front of Qin Jue.
"Father, guess what I'm holding?"
Qin Jue looked at Xiao Xi'er's raised hand. To be honest, he didn't want to guess, but seeing Xiao Xi'er's blinking eyes, he finally gave in.
"Let Daddy guess what our little Xi'er is holding."
Qin Jue lowered his head, pretending to think, since there were only a few things he had picked up from the ground.
"soil?"
"It doesn't seem like it."
"Stone?"
"Wrong, ne (I made a mistake)"
"Ant?"
Xiao Xi'er was stunned for a moment.
"Not quite yet (not quite)"
"Father can't guess, can Little Xi'er tell Father?"
"Daddy, how could you be so stupid? You can't even guess that?"
"You heartless little brat!"
Qin Jue gently pinched Xiao Xi'er's little nose.
Under Qin Jue's "eager" gaze, Xiao Xi'er opened her two little hands that were clasped together.
The moment Xiaoxi opened her little hand, the "treasure" in her palm was revealed.
What Xiaoxi held in her hand was clearly a foxtail grass, well... not entirely, because there were several ant brothers "living" on this foxtail grass.
"Father, you've guessed wrong."
Qin Jue patted Xiao Xi'er's head.
"Yes, Father guessed wrong."
"It's alright, even if you guessed wrong, I'll still give you (the ant) to Daddy."
"hehe…"
There's no need for that. I don't like ants; you can keep them yourself, but Qin Jue didn't say that.
"Father, quickly reach out and catch it!"
Under Xiao Xi'er's expectant gaze, Qin Jue could only accept it.
Hehehe
"Daddy, is this a good place?"
"Little Xi'er is so good."
His Majesty went to great lengths for the little princess, even catching her, despite his obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.
"I'll give Daddy more good things in the future."
"Daddy, don't cry with joy! (bursts into tears)"
Qin Jue was both amused and exasperated.
"Little Xi'er, look, you gave the things to your father, and now you have nothing left, don't you?"
"It's okay that I didn't replace you, as long as Daddy's happy, I'm happy."
Little Xi patted her little chest, and with that pat, she smeared the dirt off her hands.
"But if Daddy has the 'little gift' that Xiaoxi gave him, will Daddy not be able to hold Xiaoxi anymore?"
Xiaoxi thought it made a lot of sense.
Qin Jue saw hope and kept trying.
"Little Xi'er is about to walk, will she be willing to let her 'little gift' occupy Daddy's arms?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xi'er immediately became agitated, realizing that the gift she had given to her father was being used to steal his embrace.
"No, Father belongs to the nest, we can't give him to the 'ant brothers'."
Xiao Xi felt that talking wasn't enough, so she took the ant away and put it back in its own spot.
But no matter what she did, she couldn't grab it, and Xiaoxi panicked.
"Waaaaah"
"My father is not like my father anymore."
"Father doesn't want the nest anymore, Father is like the father of the ant brothers."
The tears came so suddenly, and she cried so heartbreakingly. Coupled with the words she uttered, it was truly a situation that made you both laugh and cry, and brought tears to your eyes.
Qin Jue handed the foxtail grass and ants to Sanhezi.
He picked up Xiaoxi'er, gently patting the little one's back with one hand to comfort her.
"Don't cry, little Xi'er, don't cry anymore."
"Little Xi'er is so cute, how could Daddy not want her?"
"Daddy will always be Xiaoxi'er's daddy."
"Really?"
Xiao Xi asked Qin Jue, her voice choked with sobs.
"Of course, no matter who Father dislikes, he will never dislike Little Xi'er."
"Then we'll trust Daddy this once."
She was still sobbing after she finished speaking, and Qin Jue patiently coaxed her.
Um……
Sanwako, who witnessed the whole thing, said she was utterly shocked.
Is this still the same serious His Majesty?
How could His Majesty fool even a three-year-old princess, and with such a sophisticated and elaborate scheme?
The key point is that the little princess actually believed it, and it even made her cry.
And so, His Majesty has made the little princess happy again.
Oh dear, this little princess is so easy to please. I wonder if she'll be lured away by that little wolf cub's sweet talk later?

At this moment, a row of people stood at the entrance of the General's Mansion.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the General's Mansion.
"Your humble servant pays respects to Consort Shu."
"This humble woman pays her respects to Your Highness, Consort Shu."
Your humble servant pays respects to Consort Shu.
"Father, Mother, what are you doing? You're making your daughter feel terrible!"
When Yang Jiaojiao saw her elderly father and mother bowing to her, she jumped off the carriage and pulled her parents up.
"Jiaojiao, this etiquette cannot be disregarded."
"Dad, you're such an old-fashioned person."
"Mother, let's go inside."
Yang Fan watched Yang Jiaojiao enter the mansion and remembered...
"You little rascal, did you jump off the carriage?"
"You're a queen now, where's your manners? Still jumping around like that, be careful Tang Laogou doesn't impeach you."
Tang Dai, far away in the mansion, sneezed.
"Master, could it be a cold?"
"Madam, it's nothing. I guess someone just insulted me again."
"It must be you, you old codger, impeaching someone again."
"My wife, how could you say that about your husband?"
Tang Dai looked aggrieved, but Lady Tang wasn't buying it.
This way—
"Mother, look at my father, he'd love for me to be impeached."
Madam Yang glared at Yang Fan
"Ignore your father, come inside with your mother."
