Consort Lian paused, then looked at Helian Ci: "Ci'er, please eat something. This is the little princess's way of showing her affection for you."
Also, please don't bully the little princess anymore. She's a very well-behaved child.
The more Consort Lian talked, the more she liked Helian Si. What a lovely and sensible child!
Helian Ci: "..."
With his mother's incessant chatter in his ears, Helian Ci sighed softly, feeling a slight headache coming on.
Her dark eyes, like deep pools, held a hint of helplessness. She raised her hand, picked up a piece of pan-fried fish, and put it in her mouth.
Seeing him like this, Consort Lian finally stopped her rambling. After a few days of recuperation, her face regained its rosy hue, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. Her Ci'er was still that obedient and sensible child.
"Aww, Sisi's back~!"
The sound of a little girl's cheerful footsteps, like "tap tap tap," could be heard from the entrance of Yongqing Palace, along with her sweet, cheerful little voice.
How could she not be overjoyed? Her little one had personally promised her that her harem of three thousand handsome men was definitely secure!
Just imagining having a gentle and refined handsome man on his left and a devilishly handsome man on his right made Helian Si's mouth water.
Handsome men are the true path in life, hahaha!
Helian Ci paused, his hand reaching out to pick up the pan-fried fish pieces, and just as he was about to withdraw it, he caught a glimpse of the little girl who looked like a dumpling.
A tiny, short hand gripped the doorframe, standing on the threshold. A fluffy little head peeked out, thinking it had been sneakily peeked out, its pink face...
Those grape-like, moist eyes were staring at her hand holding the pan-fried fish piece, her little mouth slightly open in an "o" shape.
Helian Ci: "..."
The little boy, with his short arms, clung to the carved wooden door, silently swallowing hard. So, it turned out his second brother liked to eat dried little fish.
No wonder they said they'd roast the goldfish over a fire; the little girl inexplicably pictured herself tied to a tree branch and roasted like a goldfish.
Flip it over, sprinkle with salt, flip it over again, sprinkle with cumin powder, flip it over again...
No, no, I can't think about it anymore, it's too, too scary!
Sisi shook her little head, feeling that the whole doll was not right. She quietly shrank back, tiptoed, bent her little hands, and ran away as if fleeing.
This is terrifying! Thankfully, she packed some beautiful fish to bring back for her second brother, otherwise her life as a five-year-old would have ended there.
No, no, I have to tell Sister Yue'er that from now on, every day—no, every meal—she has to make beautiful fish-shaped dishes.
Everything for the sake of my dog's life, sob sob, hugging my chubby self, feeling weak and helpless.
"Ci'er, what are you looking at?"
Consort Lian had her back to the door, so she naturally didn't see Helian Si peeking out. Just then, she saw Helian Ci begin to eat.
He stopped again, staring blankly behind him. Feeling puzzled, he turned around but saw nothing, so he casually asked a question.
Helian Ci withdrew his gaze, put the pan-fried fish piece he was holding with his chopsticks into his mouth, and showed no sign of abnormality on his sickly pale face.
But a complex and indescribable emotion flashed in those dark eyes, as deep as a still pool, and he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
"It's nothing, Mother. I can't finish all of this by myself. Please sit down and eat with me."
“Very well,” Consort Lian replied.
