Qin Jue carried Xiao Xi'er to the back of the Golden Palace and had the food Xiao Xi'er brought placed on the table.
Also served was Xiaoxi'er's hawthorn soup.
Qin Jue held Xiao Xi'er in his arms and fed her hawthorn soup.
After being fed, she started eating her own food, which was at just the right temperature.
Little Xi'er saw her father eating with relish and wanted more, especially since the meat soup looked so delicious.
And so this scene unfolded.
Qin Jue ate his food slowly and deliberately, while Xiao Xi'er sucked her fingers.
Qin Jue saw the expression on Xiao Xi'er's face in his arms, but he didn't stop or ask Xiao Xi'er if she wanted to eat.
She kept eating by herself, but why was she eating slower and slower? And before taking each bite, she would wave the food in front of Xiaoxi'er twice.
Little Xi'er's mouth watered at the sight of the delicious food in front of her, and the drool dripped from her fingers onto the back of her hand.
Qin Jue scooped up another spoonful of corn and placed it in front of Xiao Xi'er.
Then, Xiao Xi'er made a "slurp" sound.
Look how much the child has been tempted!
Sanhezi clicked his tongue in amazement, never expecting His Majesty to have such a taste.
Look how amused the little princess is!
Let's not even talk about how long she drooled; her eyes were glued to His Majesty's spoon the whole time.
Little Xi'er finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Daddy, can you let me taste what it tastes like?"
Qin Jue feigned confusion, "Didn't Xiao Xi'er already eat it? She should know what it tastes like."
"I didn't eat, I was hungry all morning."
As she spoke, she clutched her stomach, pretending to be incredibly hungry, and you know what... it actually looked quite convincing.
Qin Jue didn't intend to feed Xiao Xi'er like that.
So he continued, "But weren't these things Xiaoxi'er prepared for Daddy?"
"Hmm... Daddy, do you love your little Xi'er?"
"like"
"Then give me just a tiny bit."
Qin Jue never expected this little thing to try and play the emotional card.
"That won't work."
"Why?"
Guess!
Qin Jue gently pinched Xiao Xi'er's nose and refused again without hesitation.
Seeing that her father rejected her, Xiao Xi'er changed her strategy.
Qin Jue lowered his head and continued to scoop a spoonful of meat into his mouth.
While Qin Jue was bending down to scoop meat, Xiao Xi'er gave him a few quick kisses.
Qin Jue didn't even hesitate, continuing to put the meat from the spoon into her mouth.
Xiao Xi'er looked at the spoon in Qin Jue's hand, and saw the spoon pause in front of her. She even opened her mouth, but didn't put it in her mouth.
Turning her head, she saw it being fed to her father, and her little face puffed up.
Qin Jue scooped up another spoonful and paused in front of him again.
He immediately slurped up the corn in the spoon and ate it in one gulp.
Little Xi'er, who had stolen some food, turned her head to the side and chuckled.
Qin Jue was also surprised that Xiao Xi'er would steal food. "You're quite shameless, finishing all of Daddy's food."
"It's because my father won't give me any food."
"If your father doesn't give you any, how will you get any?"
"I ate it myself"
Hehehe
What else could Qin Jue do? Spoil him, of course.
"Okay, Xiaoxi earned it herself through her own cleverness."
"Mmm, hehe"
Xiao Xi'er ate for a while longer, but couldn't eat anymore, so she left Qin Jue's lap.
"Daddy, I'm going to play!"
"Take good care of the princess."
"Yes," answered Spring Lotus and Summer Chrysanthemum together.
"Count three, and you follow the little princess too."
"Yes, this servant will go immediately."
Sanhezi thought for a moment and then had his godson Sanshu come along as well.
————————
After resting in his palace for a few days, Qin Jingtai noticed that the bruises on his face had faded considerably.
He ran to Qin Jingmu's bedroom to find Qin Jingmu.
"Brother, have you forgotten that we're supposed to go and become apprentices?"
"I haven't forgotten, weren't we waiting for the swelling on your face to go down before we went?"
"Brother, look, my face is much better now, let's go now."
Qin Jingtai pointed to his face, gesturing for Qin Jingmu to look.
Qin Jingmu looked at Qin Jingtai's face and still felt uncomfortable; after all, his face was still swollen.
The two faces are different sizes, and the purple rim around the eyes is even more noticeable.
Never mind, if he wants to go, I'll go with him.
Let's go.
The two of them left Qin Jingmu's palace together, and when they reached the entrance of Liuyun Pavilion, they prepared to step out.
Then I heard Cuiyun calling out to herself, "You two look so different!"
"Your Highness, Your Highnesses, please wait a moment."
The two turned around and looked at Cuiyun, saying, "Aunt Cuiyun, is there something you need?"
"Your Highnesses, Her Majesty is returning to the General's Mansion later, and she wishes you both to come along."
"Is that so, Aunt Cuiyun? Is it impossible for us not to go?"
"Your Highness, this servant doesn't know either."
"Jingtai, let's go to Mother's place."
"Brother, aren't you going to become an apprentice?"
"We can go back later, no rush. Let's go back to the General's Mansion with Mother first."
"Oh well"
Qin Jingtai followed Qin Jingmu dejectedly toward the palace where Yang Jiaojiao was.
Cuiyun followed behind.
"Greetings, Mother Consort"
The two men bowed respectfully upon seeing their mother.
"Find a seat yourself."
"Mother, why are you suddenly taking Jingtai and me to the General's Mansion?"
Yang Jiaojiao got up, walked up to the two of them, and slapped each of them on the head.
