Caught off guard by the Emperor's unexpected appearance early in the morning, Yue'er, still shaken from her earlier farewell, respectfully saw him off.
Hearing the little princess calling his name, he hurried over and knelt down in front of Helian Si, asking with concern,
"What's wrong, little princess? Are you hungry?"
Helian Si tilted his little head, took a step forward with his short legs, and his sweet-smelling little body fell into Yue'er's arms.
The fluffy little head rubbed against Yue'er's chest before it spoke in a soft, sweet voice.
"Sister Yue'er, Sisi dreamed about Father Emperor last night! And Sisi even told him a story! Sister Yue'er, will you take Sisi to see Father Emperor later?"
Sisi was still half asleep, her little head not fully awake yet. She thought that everything that happened last night was just a dream she had because she missed her baby too much.
Yue'er was both amused and exasperated. She stroked the little girl's fluffy head in her arms and spoke softly.
"Little princess, that's not a dream. The Emperor just left."
"Awoo~?!" Helian Si suddenly woke up with a start, his little body struggling to get out of Yue'er's arms.
With her little hands gripping Yue'er's, she tried to drag Yue'er towards the entrance of Yongqing Palace, her soft, sweet voice filled with such urgency.
"Quickly, Sister Yue'er, quickly take Sisi to find Father Emperor!"
The baby just left, so... so everything last night wasn't a dream. Thinking about my series of rebellious actions last night...
My baby is completely upset, sob sob sob. The baby's affection level was already pitifully low, how can this be allowed?
Wait a minute, Sisi, about last night, Sisi can explain!
"Princess, no, His Majesty is going to the morning court session later. If we go now, we won't be able to see him."
Yue'er didn't understand why the little princess wanted to see the emperor, so she picked up the tiny Helian Si and patiently and gently explained to him.
"Oh, is that so..." The little girl was extremely disappointed. Her head drooped, and even her pink, pointed ears seemed to droop in disappointment.
A cold, eerie chuckle reached Helian Si's ears.
The little one immediately sprang to attention, raised his head, and peeked furtively toward the source of the sound.
That one glance made the little girl completely flustered. She swallowed hard, and her little hands gripped Yue'er's clothes tightly with nervousness.
Ugh, it's that sickly second prince from the Daming Lake again.
Consort Lian suddenly felt embarrassed and guilty. How could she have forgotten that the little princess was afraid of Ci'er? Alas, she shouldn't have agreed to let Ci'er come here. Look how frightened the little princess has become.
"Princess, don't be afraid, Ci'er means no harm."
Hearing Consort Lian's words, Sisi mustered her courage and peeked out. She then stealthily glanced at Helian Ci, who was sitting in the wheelchair.
Upon meeting Helian Ci's pair of dark, unfathomable eyes, Si Si's small body trembled.
Her grape-like, moist eyes looked at Consort Lian, her rosy little face clearly saying, "You're lying."
What do you mean there was no malice? The Second Prince by Daming Lake was clearly full of malice. This is too much of a scare to a five-year-old!
And he did it on purpose, it's just too much!
"Little coward."
A slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out from Helian Ci's throat. Looking at Helian Si, who was holding Yue'er tightly with his short arms, his dark eyes were full of playful mischief.
