Seeing that her father had a dark face, she seemed to be in a very bad mood.
This startled Xiao Xi'er. "Daddy, what's wrong?"
"Little Xi'er, you can't tell other people that you can talk to animals, okay?"
"What is an animal? Why can't we say?"
"Animals, like Sartine, are living things that aren't human."
I have to say, that's a pretty vivid explanation.
"Are they living creatures like cats, dogs, and puppies in a cage?"
"Is that so?"
Qin Jue mimicked Xiao Xi'er's tone and said
"Where's the sheep that fell down?"
Xiao Xi'er remembered some of the small animals she had eaten, and scratched the little tuft of hair on her head.
"It hurts so much!"
Xiao Xi'er pulled herself so hard it hurt, but she wouldn't let go.
Qin Jue was speechless at the silly boy's stupid behavior, but also found it adorably silly.
Qin Jue removed Xiao Xi'er's hand from her little ponytail.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Doesn't it hurt anymore?"
"Daddy is so awesome!"
Xiao Xi clapped her hands, praising Qin Jue without reservation.
"The small animals that were eaten are dead. How can you talk to dead animals?"
"Dead animals can't talk, you know. I never knew Xiaoxi was so clever!"
"Yes, yes, I'm amazing!"
"Yes, yes, Xiaoxi is amazing!"
"Even I, your humble servant, think the little princess is very capable."
Upon reaching the door, Sanhezi heard the little princess boasting, His Majesty agreeing, and he himself echoing her sentiments.
"Mmm-hmm-hmm"
"Daddy, let's hurry, I'm hungry!"
"Didn't Xiaoxi'er not want to leave just now? How come she's hungry now?"
"It's not that I'm hungry, it's that my stomach is hungry."
"If my stomach is hungry, it's not my problem. If my stomach is hungry, it's not my fault."
"Okay, it's your tummy that's hungry, not Xiaoxi'er."
"Is that right?"
"Correct"
Xiao Xi'er put on a serious face and said it wasn't because she was hungry, probably afraid that Qin Jue wouldn't believe her.
She even puffed out her little cheeks and stared with her big eyes, but why did those big eyes seem a little evasive?
Of course, it's because Xiaoxi'er feels guilty!
Sanhezi followed behind, watching the happy father and daughter, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
When I first arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, His Majesty had not yet established an Empress.
Normally, if a palace servant did something wrong or said something inappropriate, they would be severely punished; even if they didn't die, they would be badly injured.
In some cases, palace servants and ministers who displeased the emperor were killed.
At that time, His Majesty gave off a feeling of repression and irritability all day long.
Later, it was said that the previous eunuch who served the emperor closely had offended him and was beheaded.
I was also promoted to personal servant around that time.
Seven years ago, His Majesty established an Empress. Although she is still tyrannical, it is much better than the years without an Empress.
Even though the Empress was there, I was still very afraid.
Three years ago, the Empress passed away, and she worried that His Majesty would revert to his former violent and bloodthirsty self.
But His Majesty took the little princess into his life and raised her personally. At first, His Majesty didn't know how to take care of a child, and on several occasions, His Majesty himself gave the impression of being irritable.
But His Majesty suppressed the matter for the sake of the little princess, and for the past two years, the little princess has been by His Majesty's side.
His Majesty has killed fewer people than before.
He laughs more often than before, and he seems more humane.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
"Cuiyun, quickly take these and make more copies, then send them to the General's Mansion."
"Remember, everyone in the General's mansion, from my father down to the maids and servants, must see this."
Cuiyun watched helplessly as Yang Jiaojiao laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Only her own concubine was overjoyed to see the two princes being punished and suffering losses every time.
"This servant will go right away."
Qin Jingtai followed Qin Jingmu into Liuyun Pavilion.
As soon as I entered Liuyun Pavilion, I saw Cuiyun holding Xuan paper and about to leave.
Qin Jingmu's intuition told him that this Xuan paper was related to the way they looked at him in the classroom today.
"Greetings, Your Highnesses"
"Where is Aunt Cuiyun going? What is she holding in her hand?"
"This servant is on her way to the General's residence; this is Xuan paper."
"Aunt Cuiyun, would it be convenient for me to take a look?"
Although Qin Jingmu's tone was questioning, his gaze fixed on the Xuan paper in Cuiyun's hand clearly conveyed an unyielding attitude.
Cuiyun was still hesitant, after all, if the two princes saw the painting, they would probably be furious.
Seeing Cuiyun's hesitation, Qin Jingmu became even more determined; the contents of this Xuan paper were "nothing simple."
"Yes, Aunt Cuiyun, please give the Xuan paper to my brother. He loves studying and just wants to take a look."
"Your Highness, what happened to your face?"
When Qin Jingtai spoke, he forgot to cover the bruises on his face with his hands, and Cuiyun saw them all.
"This prince accidentally... ouch... fell. Quickly, let my brother see the Xuan paper."
Qin Jingtai noticed Cuiyun's gaze was fixed on him, so he quickly drew her attention to Qin Jingmu.
"Oh well"
Cuiyun handed the Xuan paper to Qin Jingmu and ran towards the main hall where Yang Jiaojiao was.
"Brother, what's wrong with her? Could it be that she was captivated by my... oh... handsome and dashing?"
"You really are the narcissist Qi Sijue described. Look at the state of your face after being slapped."
