The saying "comparison is the thief of joy" is true. Compared to Helian Ci, Nanrong Jinghua seemed incredibly tall and imposing in the little girl's eyes at this moment.
The little girl secretly glanced at Helian Ci, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with her grape-like, watery eyes.
The next second, she took off running on her short legs, dashing towards the silver-white figure at the entrance of Yongqing Palace.
Her rosy cheeks were flushed, and she kept calling out happily in her soft, sweet voice.
"Master, you've come to see Sisi!"
Sitting in his wheelchair, Helian Ci, pale and sickly, watched quietly as the little girl ran excitedly toward Nanrong Jinghua.
When she looked at Nan Rong Jinghua, her dark eyes, as deep as a still pool, narrowed slightly, and her exceptionally red lips, which had been curved slightly, gradually faded.
His slender fingers, hidden beneath his sleeve, gently traced the patterns on the dagger, a fleeting look of inquiry flashing in his dark eyes.
How come the renowned and handsome young master has so much leisure time to keep running to this cowardly little Yongqing Palace?
Meanwhile, Helian Si had already snuggled into the arms of the gentle, angelic teacher, his little arms wrapped around Nanrong Jinghua's neck.
On her rosy little face, her grape-like, moist eyes curved into crescent moons and smiled sweetly, as if there were tiny starlight shining in them.
Nan Rong Jinghua was slightly stunned, her heart pounding. How many times had Ah Sheng looked at her with the same gaze?
Beneath the long silk robe, his gaze softened further, and his slender, white fingers gently stroked the little girl's hair that fell beside her ear.
The deity's face, bathed in golden sunlight, seemed to be coated with a layer of holy light; the voice, as soft as a feather, echoed through the secluded valley.
"Does Sisi miss her teacher?"
"Mmm, I want to!"
Sisi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, the kind of person who could lie to the teacher without even blushing.
Nan Rong Jinghua chuckled, gently flicking the little girl's pert nose, not minding at all. Her voice was soft and melodious.
"Would it be alright if the teacher took Sisi out of the palace for a stroll?"
Ah Sheng has always been carefree and playful, and it seems she will remain so in this life. Staying inside these palace walls must be so boring for her.
Helian Si was stunned, thinking he had misheard. His grape-like, moist eyes blinked repeatedly.
Seeing Nan Rong Jinghua's expression, which didn't seem to be joking, her heart began to flutter with excitement.
"Going out of the palace for fun? Really? Is Sisi allowed to leave the palace?"
Nan Rong Jinghua's thin lips curved slightly, a hint of doting smile appearing on his divine face.
"Yes, Your Majesty has informed him and he has agreed."
At this moment, Ah Xun, who had been standing quietly to the side, holding an umbrella to shield herself from the sun, let out a soft hum, looking at Helian Si, who was being held in her young master's arms.
Their gazes were as unfriendly as could be. It was all this little princess's fault; she had forced their young master to brave the scorching summer sun to enter the palace, and then endure the Emperor's displeasure, all just so he could take the little princess out of the palace for a stroll.
Just wait and see how he makes things difficult for this little princess once we leave the palace. Anyway, the tutor doesn't like her either.
A man of such extraordinary talent as our young master can only be matched with a woman of exceptional talent like our cousin, who is renowned throughout the capital. Our cousin is the master's preferred choice for granddaughter-in-law.
Not to mention, the princess is ten years older than the young master, so how can it be said that the princess is mediocre and a good-looking but useless person?
