After the person who wanted to steal her food left, Xiao Xi'er pulled Qin Jue down to squat down and pick up the potatoes and sweet potatoes on the ground.
But Qin Jue did not start moving.
Little Xi'er stood in front of Qin Jue, blinking her eyes, "Daddy, hurry up and pick it up!"
Qin Jue pulled Xiao Xi'er up and patted the dust off her hands.
"Get up, Father will have someone else come and pick it up later."
"No, I want to come with Daddy."
"You don't actually want to come with me, you're just afraid someone will take your food, aren't you?"
Qin Jue gently pinched Xiao Xi'er's nose with his index finger, then chuckled and teased her.
Hehehe
"Father is like a worm in my belly."
Xiao Xi'er covered her mouth and chuckled.
But Father didn't want to pick it up.
Qin Jue wanted to see what method Xiao Xi'er would come up with to get him to pick them up with her, so he watched...
Little Xi'er's eyes darted around, she licked her fingers, and then her eyes lit up.
Little Xi'er stepped forward, grabbed her father's sleeve, and shook it.
"Father, let's stay together, okay?"
"Please, Daddy~"
Seeing that Qin Jue didn't move, Xiao Xi'er took another step forward.
"Bo" kissed Qin Jue on the cheek.
"I just can't do anything with you."
"Let's go, Father and Little Xi'er together."
Sanhezi, being sensible, took out a basin and handed it to Qin Jue.
So the father and daughter squatted down and, without any regard for appearances, picked up the potatoes and sweet potatoes from the ground.

In the Cherry Blossom Garden, Qin Jingke searched all the palaces but could not find his mother.
Turning to the young eunuch behind her, she asked, "Where did Mother go (there)?"
"Fifth Prince, this servant does not know either."
Qin Jingke turned and walked towards the bedchamber, just as he saw his mother entering through the palace gate.
Upon seeing his mother, he didn't even bother returning to his bedchamber; instead, he turned and ran in her direction.
Xiao Liyun crouched down to catch Qin Jingke, who was running towards her.
"Why is Ke Ke here?"
"Keke misses her mother, but alas, she can't be found."
Xiao Liyun held Qin Jingke in her arms and walked towards the main hall.
"My mother has gone out for a while."
"oh oh"
"Where did Mother go?"
Xiao Liyun glanced at Qin Jingke, and then spoke up.
"Mother went to see Keke's older sister."
Qin Jingke was displeased upon hearing this, "Mother, you're going to see my sister Lu Bu without taking me with you!"
"Mother also wants to take Keke along, but..."
"What's wrong, Mother?"
"But Mother also secretly went to see Keke's sister."
Qin Jingke was confused and scratched his head.
"What? Sneaking around?"
"Exactly. We mustn't let Keke's older sister know that Mother is looking at her."
Qin Jingke nodded a few times in understanding, then scratched his head.
"Mother, when you go to see Kang's little monkey (next time), take me with you."
We're secretly watching our older sister.
Xiao Liyun didn't agree immediately, but instead asked Qin Jingke, "Does Keke really want to see your sister?"
"Yes, I want to see my sister."
As Qin Jingke spoke, his mind was filled with images of meeting his sister.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing Qin Jingke's smile, Xiao Liyun's mood lifted, and she smiled along with him.
"Mother Consort agrees to Keke's request."
"My mother is so good."

Zou Heng grabbed the two men by the back of their collars and led them to the garden where he had previously hung the two men.
"Master, Master?"
"Master, why did you arrest me and my elder brother?"
"His Highness will find out soon enough."
"Commander Zou, we're not here for your sister this time."
Qin Jingmu said in a "very serious" manner
Zou Heng looked at Qin Jingmu, who didn't even blink, and laughed, "Then what are the Second Prince and the Third Prince doing at the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
"My brother and I have come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see Commander Zou."
"What brings Your Highnesses to my service?"
"Um……"
"this……"
Qin Jingmu suddenly found it difficult to speak, so Qin Jingtai continued...
"Master, my brother and I wish to become your disciples."
"But what the two princes did outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now didn't seem like they wanted to become my disciples."
"Even…"
"Master, I want to become your disciple."
"Yes, Commander Zou."
Qin Jingmu continued his efforts, hoping that becoming an apprentice might save him from punishment.
"Your Highnesses don't seem to want to become my disciples, they seem more like they want to smash me to death!"
"Hehehe, Commander Zou is joking."
"Since Jingtai and I want to become Commander Zou's disciples, how could we do such a rebellious thing?"
"Yes, yes, Master."
"My brother and I simply wish to become his disciples."
Zou Heng ignored the two men, beckoned them to continue keeping them upside down in the tree.
The two men thought that, just like yesterday, they would light the fire on the tree, with meat hanging beside their heads, for the tiger to eat.
The two had just been hung on the tree when a pen was stuffed into their hands.
The two people held pens, at a loss.
"Master, why are you giving me and my brother calligraphy brushes?"
"His Highness will find out soon enough."
Zou Heng, with a wicked grin on his face, had someone bring him the palace rules, an inkstone, and Xuan paper.
"Your Highnesses, you must copy the palace rules while hanging upside down."
"Ah? No, Master!"
"Commander Zou, there's no need for that..."
Five times
"No, Master! Master—"
"Ten times"
Both of them shut up, neither wanting to have their turn repeated.
Zou Heng looked at the two men with their gloating expressions and couldn't be happier.
