Helian Yi chuckled, pinching the little girl's soft cheek, feeling helpless.
"Of course not."
He was still young, and had not yet avenged his mother's death, so how could he possibly have the mind to care about love and romance?
It wasn't about asking this little cutie to deliver love letters, which made Sisi a little disappointed, but she quickly put it out of her mind.
"What does the eldest prince want to say to Sisi?"
Helian Yi's eyes darkened. He didn't immediately answer the little girl's question, but instead took out a beautifully wrapped candy, unwrapped it, and fed it to the little girl.
Seeing the little girl happily eating with a smile on her face, he gently squeezed her soft little hand and asked, seemingly casually,
"Does Sisi like Father Emperor more, or does he like his eldest brother more?"
"I like them all."
Helian Si, without a second thought, blurted out, "The baby is my baby."
The eldest prince is the child's child, and since they're all children he created himself, Sisi wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the eldest prince that she loves the emperor the most, huh~
Helian Yi's eyes grew even deeper. The young man's hand enveloped the little girl's body in his palm, gently caressing her.
"If we really have to compare and see who's better..."
"hold head high?"
Sisi tilted her little head, her face full of strange, questioning marks typical of children.
"Eldest brother or father, who will Sisi choose?"
When he asked this question, Helian Yi stared at the little girl with his dark eyes, his fingers slightly clenched, unable to hide his nervousness.
"I want them all!"
Sisi answered decisively, "Only adults choose this option; a cutie like me wants both, hehehe~"
The girl, beaming with delight, completely failed to notice the strange look in Helian Yi's eyes. A smile returned to her gentle face as she gently rubbed the little girl's cheek.
"Brother, take Sisi inside."
Never mind, I was too hasty and reckless. My little princess is still young. Let's bring this up in a few years. There's no need to rush.
"Huh? Big Brother isn't whispering little secrets to Sisi anymore?"
Sisi was chewing on a sweet candy when Helian Yi picked her up, and she wrapped her little hands around his neck.
"The little secret is that the eldest prince cares a lot about Sisi. Sisi can't help but like the eldest prince from now on, understand?"
No longer mentioning the previous topic, Helian Yi gently pressed his warm face against the little girl's, showing affection and doting.
"Sure, sure~ Sisi cares about her eldest brother too, *smack*"
Helian Yi carried the little girl into the Imperial Academy. The young man, with his dark white hair, stood tall and elegant like a bamboo shoot. Wu Fu waited beside the carriage, his expression inscrutable.
Your Highness is determined to avenge the Empress's death. Now that the Wen family has been destroyed by the Emperor, it seems that Your Highness's next target is only the Emperor himself...
Although the patriarch didn't say anything, he was unwilling to see His Highness turn against the Emperor and his son.
Moreover, now that the Wen family has been destroyed, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree to contend with the Emperor. How easy would that be?
A short while later, Helian Yi emerged from the Imperial Academy. Wu Fu greeted him respectfully.
"Your Highness."
Helian Yi gave a curt reply, then withdrew his gaze, stepped into the carriage, his voice gentle yet extremely indifferent.
"Let's go back to the manor."
"yes."
The carriage wheels turned, the wind lifted a corner of the curtain, and in the dim light, Helian Yi's gentle face became inscrutable, his fingertips...
He gently stroked the smooth, lustrous white jade in his palm, a fleeting pang of sorrow flashing in his dark eyes.
Mother, Wen Changle is dead. You can rest in peace now. As for what Helian Nie owes you, one day I will avenge you.
