"Sisi, don't take what your mother said to heart, understand?"
Helian Ci held a handkerchief in his hand and helped the little girl wipe the crumbs of pastry from the corners of her mouth.
"Um, what did Aunt Lian say?"
Confused, Sisi chewed on the fragrant and sticky osmanthus cake in her hand. "Mmm, so delicious!" she exclaimed.
Thinking that good things should be shared, Sisi gently broke off a piece of osmanthus cake from her hand and stuffed it into Helian Ci's mouth.
On Sisi's rosy little face, a wide smile revealed her teeth and eyes, and she spoke in a soft, sweet voice...
"Second brother, is it delicious?"
I was worried the little girl would overthink it, but to my surprise, she forgot what her mother had said in the blink of an eye.
Helian Ci sighed inwardly, feeling both helpless and relieved. Well, it's good that the little coward is carefree and happy.
"tasty."
"Hehe~" Sisi smiled and turned her little head, only to see her quiet third brother staring at the osmanthus cake in her hand.
Sisi understood instantly, and with a quick snap of her little hand, she broke off a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Helian You.
"My third brother gets a share too!"
Helian You, who had been distracted by his younger sister's separation from his second brother, forgot that his own dim eyes were now shining with a light brighter than the stars.
The little girl took the small piece of osmanthus cake from Helian Si and stuffed the large, whole piece of osmanthus cake she was holding into Helian Si's small hand.
"For the little princess."
Looking at the whole cake in her hand, Sisi was stunned for a moment. So, what's different?
"Alright, Xiao You'er, we should go back now."
Wenren Yu spoke up at the opportune moment, saying that they had been in the palace for some time and it was time to return home.
Helian You stopped eating the osmanthus cake and subtly shifted his body to avoid his uncle's attempt to hug him.
"I'm not going back."
He wanted to stay with the little princess.
Wenren Yu: "???"
The little brat has really got some nerve, hasn't he? He just talked back to the Emperor, and now he doesn't even want to go home?
Helian You raised his fair, round face, his dark, bright eyes meeting Wenren Yu's, and spoke earnestly, word by word.
"If you want to stay with the little princess, then Uncle, you can go back by yourself."
He knew that the little princess adored the second prince the most, always calling him "second prince" this and "second prince," which must be because the second prince lived with the little princess.
That's why the little princess likes the second prince the most, so I should live with the little princess too, that would be the best relationship between me and the little princess in the world.
"no!"
Wenren Yu refused without hesitation. The bamboo strips at home were already prepared; how could she let this little brat escape so easily?
"I'm not going back."
Helian You shifted his body, his fair, round face revealing a determined glint in his dark, bright eyes.
"Hey you little brat, you think you're so tough now? You're getting all chubby and unruly!"
As Wenren Yu spoke, he closed his ink-painted fan and reached out to grab Helian You by the back of his collar.
He was determined to make this brat experience the deep love from his uncle today.
"Handsome man, handsome man, no, no, calm down, calm down, spare the child!"
It looked like the taciturn third prince was about to be lifted up by the handsome prime minister.
Sisi stopped eating the cake in her hand, stood up on the pear wood chair with her short legs, and quickly opened her soft, sweet voice.
Third brother, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Stay and play with Sisi!
