Faking a smile, Guaibao prolonged her arms in the direction of Princess Ming Xi, who instinctively slapped away the approaching tiny arms with a displeasured look, unaware that she had absolutely performed into Guaibao’s arms. The little determine nimbly grabbed her wrist, and the following factor she was conscious of was a pointy, pinching ache on her hand.

“Ah!!!”

A loud, piercing wail escaped from her mouth.

Ming Xi’s face contorted in a grimace of ache. The bruise on her swollen wrist regularly turned from purple, to blackish purple color. Her respiration turned tough as tears started streaming down the corners of her eyes.

Deeply enraged, she furiously gave an order to her servants, “How dare this wretched child damage me! Seize her at this instantaneous!

The encompassing guards, maids and eunuchs froze in shock. Guaibao’s actions had gone past their wildest imaginations. They didn’t anticipate {that a} small, little lady would escalate the state of affairs to such a level.

They had been now caught between a rock and a tough place. Each events had been of untouchable standing and the servants couldn’t afford to offend both aspect.

The attendants serving immediately beneath the Empress swiftly recovered and acted instantly, standing ahead to defend the little princess, whereas considered one of them secretly slipped away by means of the again entrance to name for assist.

They had been on their toes. If something had been to occur to their little grasp… many heads would roll. However then again, Princess Ming Xi was additionally not an opponent they fend in opposition to. Unable to discover a peaceable resolution, they decisively selected to tell the Empress as a substitute.

Unbeknownst to the palace staff, even when assist didn’t arrive on time, nothing would have occurred to Guaibao. Because the treasured daughter of Prince Li, quite a few guards had been assigned in secret to guard her from the shadows.

Secret Guard A had been ready to behave at any given second. So long as any silly soul had been to make an precise try to hurt his little grasp, he would eradicate them with out a second thought.

This was the only real obligation he was appointed with, personally decreed by Prince Li. The orders had been absolute, and he would do something to satisfy his tasks, even at the price of his life!

Whereas the strain ranges on either side remained excessive, Guaibao leisurely tucked her arms and stretched her neck, observing the environment as the present stand-off had nothing to do along with her.

……

The Empress arrived very quickly with an anxious look. Witnessing the present scene, her expression turned stern as she mercilessly glared on the older princess.

“Ming Xi, you actually have grown up properly! Because the mom of the Empire, this Empress is at fault for failing to observe your upbringing as a princess. Guards, ship her again to her palace.”

“From at present onwards, Princess Ming Xi is to kneel outdoors of her palace each midday for 2 hours. Since she has displayed indicators of unruly temperament, she shall stay grounded till she has completed copying your entire Nice Advantage Sutra for a thousand instances.”

“Nanny Jiang, you shall be assigned to Princess Ming Xi, monitoring her day and evening to forestall her from repeating such misconducts, perceive?”

“As you command…”

The Empress coldly glared on the older princess whereas exuding a dignified stress.

Enduring the ache on her hand, Ming Xi trembled barely as she defiantly rebutted, ”His Majesty and my expensive mom won’t conform to this remedy.”

Her eyes sharpened because the Empress sneered again.

“Don’t mistake my silence as approval in the direction of your traditional unruly conduct. I merely reserved my rights to take motion. Or… do you assume that my place because the Empress is only a ornament? Know your house! To me, Consort Luo is only a mere concubine. Nanny Jiang, slap her on the mouth for being disrespectful till she repents, and her day by day kneeling session shall be prolonged by one other two hours.”

Giving her a last disgruntled look, the Empress then circled and made a whole swap in her manner, showering Guaibao along with her utmost concern. ”My expensive little darling, had been you traumatized? Every part is ok now, no must be afraid anymore.”

She scooped Guaibao up and embraced her, consoling her with a tender, comforting tone.

Dimples fashioned on Guaibao’s face as she sweetly smiled again. “Guaibao was not afraid in any respect. Guaibao is a powerful lady!”

“Sure, our Guaibao is wonderful~ Nobody can stand an opportunity in opposition to my expensive Guaibao.”

The grandmother and granddaughter pair resumed showering compliments on one another once more.

The Empress then patted the little heads of the opposite youngsters from the Cheng’en Ducal Family, earlier than ordering the nanny to ship them again to relaxation.

……

Ming Jue simply stepped out of the Emperor’s Viewers Corridor when an aide rushed over to tell him concerning the incident. Upon listening to the information, the temperature round him immediately fell by a number of levels as his gaze intensified.

“If my reminiscence serves me proper… the nephews of Consort Luo ought to have lately been concerned in an incident ensuing within the lack of a citizen’s life. Ship some males to the Dali Temple to analyze and unravel that incident!”

Consort Luo had the behavior of practising favouritism in the direction of her maternal household, abusing her standing to offer preferential remedy to her maternal kinfolk each time attainable.

For the reason that Empress had already meted out punishment for Ming Xi, it was solely pure for Consort Luo to obtain equal flak for failing to correctly educate her organic daughter.

It was an ideal likelihood to set an instance out of them, to function a warning to any silly souls who had been harbouring designs or devising schemes to put their arms on his treasured daughter!

The aide acknowledged the Prince’s directions and instantly left to behave on it.

……

When Ming Jue arrived on the Empress’ Palace, Guaibao’s cheeks had been puffed like a squirrel, being stuffed to the brim with every kind of scrumptious snacks.

A brand new snack appeared earlier than Guaibao’s mouth even earlier than she was carried out with the present one.

Because the Empress loved herself with feeding Guaibao, she repeatedly mentioned that Guaibao ought to placed on extra weight.

Guaibao: “…”

Was this the famed binge *feeding* dysfunction?1TL Be aware: Couldn’t discover an equal so I made that time period up. Tailored from Binge Consuming Dysfunction which characterizes compulsive overeating, besides on this case, the Empress is binge feeding Guaibao as a substitute.

Alas, it was actually a tricky job to behave as a well-behaved treasured granddaughter.

……

As Guaibao boarded the carriage along with her father, she rubbed her stomach and set free a protracted sigh.

Misinterpreting that act as Guaibao being troubled by the sooner occasion with Ming Xi, Ming Jue hugged the little lady and gently coaxed her.

“Your mom has arrived within the capital, Dad will carry you over to fulfill her now.”

Guaibao perked up instantly as she responded with pleasure.

“Actually? Mommy has arrived? Guaibao desires to fulfill up along with her!”

“Alright, as you would like. Let’s go immediately and go to her now.”

……

It was almost nightfall once they lastly arrived on the Su household residence.

Realizing that the wall fence across the perimeters was solely object standing between her mom and herself, Guaibao might barely comprise her eagerness. She impatiently hopped off the carriage and rushed into the mansion.

She had been homesick for an prolonged time period – she missed her mom very a lot, missed her brothers and her grandmother dearly as properly.

A lot in order that even her dad, whom she had lately grown keen on, was mercilessly casted apart.

Observing the little determine impatiently wandering off right into a distance, Ming Jue alighted from the carriage with considerably difficult emotions. He pursed his lips whereas slowly strolling into the residence.

It was at this second, when a chubby little determine handed by him. Whether or not it was an intervention from otherworldly powers, or simply pure coincidence, the little boy tripped on his personal toes and by the way fell in entrance of Ming Jue with a convincing ‘thud’.

“Ouchie~~”

Ming Jue: “…”

As an nearest onlooker, he had no different selection however to assist the little boy up.

Taking a more in-depth take a look at the determine, the little boy appeared to be across the identical age as Guaibao, besides that this boy was barely fairer and chubbier. It was an eye-pleasing and lovable youngster.

Ever for the reason that reunion along with his daughter, Ming Jue had considerably developed a tender spot, particularly in the direction of kids.

His gaze softened, as a smile leaked out on his face unconsciously.

Dabao rubbed his butt and instinctively glanced again to the world the place he had tripped from, however quickly turned confused.

There was no…. treasure?

One thing of worth had all the time appeared each time this occurred prior to now. But, nothing had appeared on this event?

Reaching out to just accept the serving to hand, Dabao then lifted his head, meaning to thank the one that helped him as an excellent youngster ought to.

However when he had a clearer view of the facial profile of the person, his eyes widened as he lined his mouth in shock.

(Why does this man look a lot like sister???)
