âIâm saved.â Yun Xi ran out without daring to look back. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she hid in a small quiet courtyard. The Xiao Long Bao directly turned into a red bean paste bun.Â
âHmph, you want to bring me back, donât think about it! But strange, I obviously appeared today in front of him several times, but he did not notice at all. Maybe he has another new interest!âÂ
âIf he really had a new interest, how can he personally go deep into the enemy country for danger? Instead, he would have taken his new interest to play long ago, rather than think of you who have no conscience.âÂ
âThatâs not necessarily true, maybe he didnât come for me at all!â Yun Xi snorted coldly. Then her eyes widened as if she had noticed something. She looked at the dark shadow not far away with a look of horror.Â
âWhatâŠWhere is this evildoer? Quickly report your name and kowtow to this girl to apologize, otherwiseâŠthis girl is proficient in all sorts of martial arts. It will definitely make you not want to live and will show you how death would be better than living. This lady will make you regret coming into this world.â Yun Xi put on a fighting pose, looking defensively at the dark shadow not far away.
ââŠâ the black shadow paused suspiciously for a moment, then his whole body trembled violently. âXi Er, you have only left the palace for less than four months, how come you have becomeâŠâÂ
The black shadow was obviously considering his own wording, but Yun Xi was already frightened by his address: âWhat did you call me just now? Xi Er?âÂ
When they were in Shu Kingdom, those people called her Your Highness. After coming to Ye Kingdom, she was used to Xia Yuqing and the others calling her Xiao Xi. There were only two people in the world who would call her Xi Er. But this one had to beâŠÂ
âRecognize your father, the king?â The black shadow hidden in the darkness slowly walked out, revealing a completely unfamiliar face under the moonlight. There was a doting expression on his face that was unusually familiar.Â
âRoyal father?â Yun Xi tentatively walked over. As soon as she approached, she heard a familiar aegyo, âMy lovely little Xixi doesnât want her father anymore, she has a temper and ran away from the palace! It really hurts your fatherâs heart. Iâm hurt.âÂ
This voice, this manner, and this way of acting like a baby as if wasnât wrong, it must be her father.Â
Yun Xiâs eyes were shining, she quickly stepped forward to grab the mustache under Yun Zhongliâs chin, and said in surprise: âFather, itâs really you? Come, let me see. Is this⊠Is it the legendary human skin mask? OMG, ââthis is amazing! Let me touch it.â
Yun Xi rushed towards Yun Zhongli. Jumping on the person, she raised her hand against Yun Zhongliâs face.Â
âOh, my spirit, donât touch it, donât touch it. If it falls off later, royal father wonât be able to go back to the banquet.â Yun Zhongli really could not do anything about this pearl in the palm of his hand since she was a child. He could only whisper while grabbing her hand, with helplessness on his face.Â
âOh, okay.â Yun Xi then remembered that this was not the Shu Kingdomâs imperial palace but the Ye Kingdom. She hurriedly took her hand back. She really couldnât get accustomed to looking at this strange face.Â
âFather, since you are here, who is the one outside?âÂ
Yun Zhongli stretched out his hand to smooth his long beard that was almost pulled off by Yunxi, and said with a smile: âYour Uncle Hao.âÂ
âUncle Hao? Royal Father, why do you want Uncle Hao to pretend to be you?â Yun Xi asked with a puzzled face. Her eyes lit up and she grabbed her fatherâs shirt and smiled, âRoyal Father, are you hiding something from Er Chen?âÂ
âNoâŠnoâŠâ Yun Qianliâs* face was rarely embarrassed, he was guilty of thinking about other things, âYou still want to speak, if it wasnât for you, do you think your father would come to such a place? Did you see how the few people outside besieged your Uncle Hao? If the person sitting inside was really your royal father, there would be nothing left. You pack up quickly and go back with your father, otherwise you will be in danger if they know your identity.âÂ
* not sure why they switched names, but still Emperor of Shu Kingdom
Yun Qianliâs words did not bring back his daughterâs heart, but instead caused her to give him a blank eye, as if saying, âFather, why are you so useless? Just because you canât bear the bombardment of those people, you made Uncle Hao block the gun, I was really wrong about you!âÂ
âI donât want to go back, the people here are so kind to me! Although Qing Jiejie instigates things and likes to pinch my face casually, she is very kind to me. There is also Cui Er Jiejie, Lu Rui Jiejie, and Li Yuan Jiejie, they are all good people. Also the Da Rens and the emperor you just mentioned are not like how Third royal uncle and aunt said, they arenât that bad, especially the emperor. Besides being jealous usually, he is kind to Qing Jiejie and because we are under her, he also takes good care of us. How could a man who can be so good to Qing Jiejie be a bad person?âÂ
ââŠâ Yun Qianliâs expression changed drastically as he listened to Yun Xiâs rhetorical retort. He reached out his hand and touched Yun Xiâs forehead, and muttered, âWeird, she doesnât have a fever. Why is she talking nonsense?âÂ
âFather, what are you doing?â Yun Xi raised her hand and pushed away the hand, âFather, Er Chen is serious.âÂ
âMy dear, you wonât be fooled by the people in this palace with their demonic techniques, right? Quickly, royal father will take you back immediately and let the imperial doctor treat you. Donât worry, nothing will happen.âÂ
Yun Xi looked at her father as if the sky was about to collapse. With a panic expression, she couldnât help rolling her eyes: âFather, calm down. Iâm really fine, I just understand things now.âÂ
âWhatâs the matter?â Looking at Yun Xiâs sinking face, he was startled.Â
âSeeing is believing and hearing can be misleading. We used to listen to third royal uncle and aunt in the palace talking about how abhorrent this Ye country is, but father, Er Chen has lived here these days and found the people here are completely different from our impressions. I canât help but wonder⊠which of the words said by third uncle and aunt are true and which are false.â
Yun Zhongli* frowned: âXi Er, how do you know that they didnât pretend to be like that on purpose? What if they were using you to subdue my Shu country?âÂ
* changed back
ââŠâ Yun Xi looked at her royal father like a fool. She stretched out her hand to caress Yun Zhongliâs forehead as Yun Zhongli did to her just now, âWeird, no fever! Father, you just said to take me back before they found out who I was. Now why would they want to use me? In their eyes, I am just a little palace lady. Why is it necessary to pretend in front of me? Father, youâre being prejudice.âÂ
Seeing Yun Xiâs seriousness, he was stunned. He stared blankly at this baby girl who had been protected under his wings this entire time. He was reluctant to let her get hurt. His expression was complicated.Â
Seeing that Yun Zhongli hasnât responded for a long time, Yun Xi was a little confused. As soon as she raised her head, she saw the tearful and pitiful look of Yun Zhongli. She immediately panicked: âFather, whatâs the matter with you? Oh, donât cry! You are a big man who is still the lord of a country, donât shed tears casually. What will you do if people see?â
âWoohoo, anyway Iâm wearing someoneâs face now, who cares.âÂ
â⊠â Father, you are so irresponsible, how were you raised? UhâŠit seems like I belong to his family, well, whatever!Â
âWuuu, royal father is just very happy and sad. Royal fatherâs darling has finally grown up, and can say such a reasonable thing!âÂ
ââŠâ It turns out that royal father could still be reasonable. If she knew this before she would curse at him a little bit earlier.
âOh, to think back then, when royal fatherâs little baby was just born, she was so meaty and soft, sooo cute. Now she has grown into such a slim and lovely appearance. I still remember when royal fatherâs little baby just learned to walk, it was this royal father who led her to stand up step by step. Now she can leave the palace and run around. I still remember when this royal fatherâs little baby just learned to speak and called out their first word, âroyal fatherâ. Now she has reached the age to be able to marry! To marry? No, who would dare to plot against my baby, I will definitely not let her go! If you want to marry my baby, you have to pass my round first⊠â Yun Qianli was caught in the fear that his daughter would marry and be a wife after she grew up, and couldnât help himself. He didnât notice Yun Xiâs face becoming as black as the bottom of a pot standing beside him.Â
Yun Xi listened to Yun Qianliâs increasingly exaggerated self-talk, with blue veins jumping out of her head, and groaned unbearably, âShut up.âÂ
ââŠâ Yun Qianliâs voice fell silent. There are only two people in the world who can yell at him like this without being punished to death by him. One was his wife who was left behind in the imperial capital, Situ Jiao, the Queen of Shu. The other was his only precious daughter, Yun Xi.Â
Yun Xi ignored the sad eyes projected by Yun Qianli, and took a deep breath: âFather, donât change the subject. You havenât answered me about what I asked you just now.â
âHuh, what?â Yun Qianli pretended to be stupid.Â
âDonât pretend to be stupid, do you have something you are hiding from Er Chen?â Yun Xi squinted slightly and shouted coldly.Â
ââŠâ Yun Qianli looked up at the sky and was uncooperative.Â
Yun Xi rolled her eyes and said, âSince the emperor doesnât want to say it, then Er Chen canât help it.âÂ
Yun Qianli was overjoyed, and was just about to say something, when Yun Xi continued: âLast time when playing hide and seek with cousin Hao, I happened to see that there were a lot of pictures of beauties hidden under royal fatherâs couch. I donât know if the queen has seen itâŠâÂ
âHold on!â Hearing Yun Xiâs words, Yun Zhongli with a panicked look, stepped forward and grabbed Yun Xiâs hand and said, âFather will speak, Father will speak. Donât tell your mother, or Father will have to sleep in the study room for another half year!âÂ
Yun Xiâs plump face showed a treacherous smile. She said compassionately: âWell, letâs talkâŠâÂ
ââŠXi Er, why does royal father feel like you have been corrupted since going out this time?â
âThank you, father, Er Chen will work harder.âÂ
ââŠâÂ
Yun Xi looked at Yun Zhongliâs crying expression and her heart was refreshed. Sure enough, she had profited since following Qing Jiejie. Seeing her royal fatherâs expression, itâs so⊠so funny. She must tell her royal mother about this when she goes back, hahaha!Â
âIn fact, itâs nothing, but some people in the capital have become restless recently. Your mother suggested that since they are restless, itâs better to take this opportunity of picking you up to lure the snake out of the cave and kill them all.â
Yun Xi was startled. After a moment of contemplation, she understood the purpose of the disguise. Her eyes changed slightly: âIt turns out that royal father did not come this time to pick up Er Chen, so Er Chen will not go back with father. Please have a safe trip, I will not send you off!âÂ
ââŠâ Yun Zhongli was startled, his face sagged. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Yun Xi, and coaxed: âDaughter! Fatherâs dear daughter, donât have a temper and follow your father. Letâs go back!âÂ
âWonât go back! I wonât go back. If I go back, you will force me to marry that sissy.âÂ
âSissyâŠOh, you mean the fourth prince of Xia? He has gone back a long time ago, he wonât bother you anymore. Your third uncle will no longer force you to marry him, so you can go back with your father. For this, your mother has punished me enough, father really doesnât want to sleep in the study room anymore. Have pity for your pitiful father, and go back with your father. You may be discovered here at any time and be in danger, how could your father leave you alone and go back?âÂ
âDonât worry about that father, Er Chen is safe here. Humph, and even if it wasnât him, there would be someone else. Third Uncle would not let me go. Every day, he wants to marry me out. Humph, how could I not know his thoughts? Once I get married, then the heir of the Kingdom of ShuâŠ.â Yun Xi was shocked that she slipped out a few words. She hurriedly stopped, and muttered, âAnyways, I will not be at the mercy of you. I will not marry a man I do not like and be depressed for a lifetime. HmphâŠâ
ââŠhe will marry in, you wonât marry out!â Yun Zhongli retorted. How could his baby girl marry to a foreign country?Â
My baby girl is so noble and lovely. Naturally, I want to find a gentleman with an extraordinary appearance and an extraordinary personality. Only a dragon of men can be worthy of her. The most important thing is that the son-in-law must enter the family so that he can be under his watch to take care of his daughter for a lifetime.Â
âHehe, but third uncle doesnât seem like they want to let the husband become our family?âÂ
Yun Zhongliâs face was dark, as if he had also noticed the strangeness in this matter.Â
Yun Xi didnât wait patiently for him to recollect the key points. She folded her hands on her chest and said with a proud face: âAnyways, Er Chen will not go back with my father. Er Chen has already found someone Er Chen likes here. If royal father urges Er Chen, Er Chen will cook the rice with him and settle in Ye Kingdom, and never go back to Shu Kingdom. You can figure it out. âÂ
Boom- Yun Zhongli felt lightning crash down on him, almost abruptly splitting him in half. His hands were shaking when he asked, âXi Er has someone they like?âÂ
Yun Xi nodded firmly, and his face sank in the cloud. He could no longer hold back. He screamed: âDamn it, who is it? Who is it? Which beast dares to have thoughts about my baby girl⊠woo woo wooâŠâÂ
