"Yes, Your Excellency."
Seeing that Consort Lian wanted to continue asking questions, and even though he wanted to hold the sweet, soft little princess a little longer, Changying gave up.
After setting Helian Si down and seeing that the little girl was steady, Changying bowed to the two of them, his toes barely touching the ground.
Before Consort Lian could call out to him, the tall figure of the eagle disappeared into Yongqing Palace.
With a slight tilt of her head, clutching her cute pink cloth bag, Sisi trotted down the corridor towards Helian Ci, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
"Second brother, Sisi is back!"
The little girl ran alongside her chubby legs, calling out sweetly from her little mouth. The pale golden sunlight shone on her, as if she were being gilded with a layer of holy golden light.
In the wheelchair, Helian Ci's slightly pale face held a hint of indulgent smile.
"Hi-ya~"
With her chubby little legs, Sisi climbed the last step, and with a few quick, pattering steps, she reached Helian Ci. With her little bottom sticking out and whimpering, she climbed into Helian Ci's arms.
"Did you listen attentively in class today?"
Helian Ci reached out and pulled the little girl closer to him so that she could sit more steadily.
"Yes, yes, the Master will be teaching today..."
Sisi's little mouth was chattering away, and her chubby little hands were also busy, gesturing enthusiastically and vividly as she spoke.
Helian Ci listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a comment; the brother and sister were incredibly warm and loving.
Consort Lian emerged from her earlier sorrow and turned around to see the little girl sitting unreservedly on Helian Ci's lap.
With a slight frown and graceful steps, she arrived before the two of them in a few strides, reaching out to pick up the little girl.
Just as Sisi was talking about the interesting things that happened today, she was suddenly picked up by Consort Lian, leaving the whole baby completely bewildered.
"Sisi, the nanny will be here soon. Hurry up and get ready. Ci'er's leg is just starting to get better, so you can't sit on Ci'er's lap, understand?"
Consort Lian's tone was inevitably a bit harsh because she hadn't been able to see the Emperor.
Sisi was still in a daze when she was given such a scolding. The whole child was deflated, and all her previous excitement was swept away, leaving her with nothing.
"oh."
After being nagged by Consort Lian for so long these days, Sisi habitually and obediently agreed.
With her little head drooping and clutching her cute little cloth bag, she turned and started walking towards her own palace. After a few steps, she seemed to remember something.
Stopping her little steps, she lifted her droopy head, turned to look at Consort Lian.
"Aunt Lian, Father Emperor said that Sisi doesn't need to learn any palace rules and etiquette anymore. Father Emperor doesn't like obedient children."
"Aunt Lian, Sisi isn't a three-year-old child anymore. Although Sisi doesn't have a mother, Sisi still has a father, the Emperor. There's no need for Aunt Lian to teach Sisi how to do things!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she didn't even look at the expressions on Consort Lian and Helian Ci's faces. She turned around, grabbed her cute little cloth bag, and ran away.
That's right, the little cutie is angry!
Why are you being so fierce? That pretty lady clearly said she could sit on the Second Prince's lap. You're not some ignorant child!
Consort Lian stood frozen in place, staring in shock at Helian Si's departing figure. When she came to her senses, her eyes instantly reddened.
What did the little princess mean by that? She made the little princess learn palace rules and etiquette for the little princess's own good, but now she's blaming her for being nosy?
"Give me my son,"
Consort Lian turned around and looked at Helian Ci, who was sitting in a wheelchair behind her, with red eyes.
Helian Ci frowned, his dark eyes revealing an unreadable emotion, but his pale face showed his disapproval of Consort Lian.

I'll finish it tomorrow. Sorry, thank you.
