The Supreme Emperor looked indifferent, "I have abdicated, so what? I am still your father, and the father of Xiao Yuchen!"
Princess Xinyue burst into tears, "You...you've gone too far!"
She covered her face, turned around and ran away.
"Xin Yue!" Concubine Zhuang stamped her feet anxiously.
"Don't chase her!" The Supreme Emperor stopped her, "Let her run! See where she can run!"
Concubine Zhuang had an anxious look on her face, but the Emperor grabbed her wrist.
She had no choice but to follow the Supreme Emperor to the main hall.
But she took three steps and turned back, then mouthed to the palace people again.
The old lady beside her also chased after her, and she finally felt relieved.
The suppressed dissatisfaction in Concubine Zhuang's eyes as she looked at the Supreme Emperor from behind had already overshadowed the love between husband and wife.
…
Princess Xinyue ran while crying.
"Princess, stay!"
She was suddenly blocked by guards.
Only then did she realize that she had run around and ended up at the palace gate near the previous palace where the enthronement ceremony was being held.
"Is something wrong, princess?"
The guard looked at her face suspiciously.
Although Princess Xinyue is young, she already has a sense of shame.
She quickly turned her face away and covered half of her slapped face with her wide sleeves.
"No...it's okay. I'm late, so I won't disturb the ceremony."
Princess Xinyue turned and left.
But when she turned her face, she saw a child even younger than her.
This child was dressed in a glittering python suit, his hair was combed meticulously, with a red gold crown and a golden hairpin carved with dragons, making him look glittering.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Princess Xinyue asked.
Yu'er tilted her head and glanced at her, "Are you crying, little aunt?"
Xinyue felt embarrassed, "No, the sand was lost in my eyes."
Yu'er snorted, "That Shasha is really ignorant. Do your eyes still hurt?"
The child in front of Xinyue looked as big as a brat and still wanted to comfort her, so she couldn't help but grin.
"It's still a little sore, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
Like a magic trick, Yu'er took out two lollipops from her sleeve pocket.
"I'll give you some sweets, and they won't make you sour anymore."
This lollipop was specially made by Wen Jin for Yu'er and is not sold elsewhere.
This was also the first time I saw Princess Xinyue, even though she was already over ten years old. But he was still a child. When he saw a novel gadget, he couldn't help but take it over curiously.
"Like this, tear off the icing and put it in your mouth. Mmm, sweet!"
She imitated Yu'er and put the lollipop into her mouth, her eyes lighting up.
Yu'er looked at her, "Is it sweet?"
Princess Xinyue nodded repeatedly... The sourness in her heart was indeed diluted by the sweetness of the candy.
The look she looked at Yu'er became more gentle and intimate.
Yu'er said, "Their ceremony is too complicated. If I follow the whole process, I will be exhausted. My father has given me the permission that I don't have to follow them to the end. They have gone to the Temple of Heaven, and I am here to hide!"
This is the answer to Princess Xinyue’s initial question.
Princess Xinyue asked cautiously, "Brother Emperor, won't he blame you if you go through the entire process without following the rules? Won't he be angry?"
Yu'er held the lollipop in her mouth and shook her head happily, "No! My father said that you should be the one who makes the rules as much as possible within your ability, rather than the one who is bound by the rules!"
Princess Xinyue stared blankly at the child in front of her.
She suddenly felt that it was not the golden python pattern on his body that shone brightly, but him himself.
His ease, his confidence, his self-possession...are all shining.
Princess Xinyue couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the candy. It's so sweet. I'm not sour at all."
However, Yu'er's sharp eyes noticed the mark on her cheek.
But he didn't say anything. Instead, he pointed to the pavilion not far away and said, "Little aunt, I have grasshoppers. Do you want to watch them fight?"
Princess Xinyue was hesitating.
But Yu'er had already stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the pavilion.
When Princess Zhuang's people chased after her, they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dragging Princess Xinyue and striding towards the pavilion.
A group of palace people behind His Highness followed suit, and no one said anything.
Mrs. Zhuang's people looked at each other in fear... and they all chose to follow in silence, not daring to say anything.
Arrived at the pavilion.
Yu'er first took out a grasshopper cage.
Princess Xinyue is looking at the Grasshopper in the cage.
Yu'er took out a wide-mouthed autumn porcelain cup. The porcelain cup was not big but very delicate. As soon as I opened the lid, a refreshing fragrance of lotus came out.
"Hey, what is this?" Princess Xinyue is a girl after all, and she is far more interested in the fragrant white paste and the beautiful porcelain bottle than the grasshopper.
Yu'er said, "This is lotus-scented snowflake ointment, made by grandma. I'll put it on my aunt."
Princess Xinyue was startled when she heard this, and immediately raised her hand to cover half of her cheek.
Yu'er pressed her hand and said, "Huhu, blow it and it won't hurt anymore. When I got injured while practicing martial arts, this is how my mother-in-law wheezed for me."
Yu'er blew gently on her face, and while blowing, she applied the snow-white, soft and fragrant paste.
Princess Xinyue's heart felt warm, and the sweetness of the lollipop seemed to have entered her heart.
Huh? Strange to say.
After applying the ointment, I felt a cool sensation on my face, but after a while, the swelling and stinging feeling really disappeared.
"This ointment smells so good!" Princess Xinyue looked at Yu'er with an increasingly affectionate look.
"Who hit my little aunt? Did my little aunt hit her back?" Yu'er asked.
Princess Xinyue's throat choked, "No... I can't fight back."
Yu'er looked at her with her big round eyes, and her long eyelashes fanned like a fan, as if soft feathers were tickling her heart.
Princess Xinyue sighed softly, "To tell you the truth, it was my father who beat me. He didn't want me to leave the palace and open a mansion... Humph, it's not that he didn't want me to open a mansion, but he didn't want the emperor to make his own decisions... But the emperor My brother is already the emperor! Why can't he make his own decisions? Do we still have to ask him about everything? Then who is the emperor?"
"Princess Xinyue!"
"Princess!"
The palace servant sent by Concubine Zhuang exclaimed anxiously.
Outside the pavilion, they felt their hair stand on end and broke out in cold sweat.
Yu'er glanced outside the pavilion.
Those palace people thought that the prince was just a child...
Unexpectedly, this child's eyes were as majestic as his father and as sharp as his mother...
This actually made the palace people lower their heads involuntarily, not daring to make any mistakes.
Yu'er turned around and smiled childishly at Princess Xinyue, "So when my little aunt comes here, it's not actually running around. In your heart, you want to complain to my father!"
Princess Xinyue was shocked when she heard this. She frowned and thought about it...it seemed to mean something like this.
It's just that it was her subconscious choice, and she didn't even notice it.
She lowered her eyes in embarrassment, "It makes His Highness laugh. I'm the one who owns the mansion, and I can only cry and complain..."
Yu'er said, "I like my little aunt to be so frank. If this is the case, I will help my little aunt to file a lawsuit."
Outside the pavilion, Princess Zhuang’s courtiers were shocked.
Princess Xinyue quickly grabbed his sleeve, "There's no need to complain... How can any child complain to his father? I'm just childish. As long as I can still go out and open a mansion, that's it!"
Yu'er smiled with satisfaction and patted her little chest, "Don't worry, little aunt, I'll take care of you!"
