No matter how mature the Crown Prince was, he was still a child. Because he was shocked, his mouth subconsciously opened slightly. His expression looked extremely shocked. This expression was much more vivid than his previous indifference. Jiujiu immediately laughed.
Relying on her young age, even if she was mocking, she couldn't see it. Jiujiu opened her mouth and laughed to her heart's content. She revealed her small white teeth and her large eyes curved into two small crescent moons because of her smile.
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the Crown Prince's response, Jiujiu pouted and repeated to the Crown Prince, "Brother Crown Prince, will you treat me well?"
The Crown Prince was still a bit confused. He looked at Jiujiu's expression and didn't recover.
In response to the crown prince's confusion, Jiujiu, who had been smiling like a flower just a moment ago, instantly scrunched up her face. Her eyebrows were scrunched up like two entangled little worms. Coupled with her pair of aggrieved big eyes, she appeared even more pitiful and embarrassing.
Although the Crown Prince was only ten years old, there were many women who wanted to use their beauty to bewitch him.
If a woman wanted to bewitch a man, there were only a few tricks that she could use.
They were either seductive to the bone or delicate and pitiful like a little cabbage.
Someone had already used the delicate and pitiful trick on the Crown Prince before. Perhaps it was because the person who used this trick was different. The Crown Prince, who had seen women pretending to be pitiful before, couldn't help but feel his heart soften when he saw Jiujiu blinking her large eyes and looking at him pitifully.
The Crown Prince lowered his head and looked into Jiujiu's eyes.
Jiujiu's eyes were clear and transparent. They were like spring water that one could see the bottom. As the Crown Prince looked over, Jiujiu raised her head. The Crown Prince's clear face appeared in her eyes.
The eyes were the window to the soul. Jiujiu's eyes were clear and transparent. With one look, one could tell that she was a simple-minded person. Nowadays, there weren't many simple-minded people.
The crown prince raised his hand and rubbed Jiujiu's head. He looked into Jiujiu's eyes and said, "I will treat you well."
The Crown Prince understood that as long as there were no accidents, Jiujiu would be his future Crown Princess. Since the two of them were destined to be tied together, and Jiujiu was not a scheming person, it was also possible for them to be together.
As soon as the crown prince finished speaking, Jiujiu immediately asked, "Will you treat me like how my father treats my mother?"
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at the Crown Prince. The baby fat on her cheeks made her look especially cute.
The Crown Prince could no longer maintain his cold expression. He sighed silently in his heart and rubbed Jiujiu's head. "Hmm, it's just as good."
"Really?" Jiujiu looked at the Crown Prince in surprise.
The Crown Prince nodded affirmatively.
After receiving the Crown Prince's affirmation, Jiujiu's twisted little face instantly lit up with joy. Her little mouth even split open to reveal a row of small, corn grain-like teeth. She was so happy that only her teeth could be seen and her eyes couldn't be seen. The Crown Prince's originally gloomy mood instantly lightened up.
The friendly interaction between the Crown Prince and Jiujiu attracted the attention of the Emperor and Empress, as well as Yan Kui and Madam Yan.
Although Jiujiu was young, she chatted very happily with the Crown Prince. The atmosphere between the two was also exceptionally harmonious. Madam Yan, who had originally been worried that Jiujiu would dislike the Crown Prince because he was too dull, finally relaxed.
After all, Jiujiu was still young. Although she had always told herself that she had to focus on cultivating her relationship with the Crown Prince, she was still young and was still growing. It was very easy for her to feel sleepy. Although she had already tried her best to control it, the tiredness still came as expected.
The Crown Prince, who was talking to Jiujiu but didn't receive a reply, turned his head slightly and saw Jiujiu's little head nodding bit by bit like a chick pecking at rice. Her eyelids also continuously drooped. Then, she quickly opened her eyes and shook her head as if she wanted to stay awake. However, this seemed to be useless. After only a moment, she continued to nod her little head and then repeated her previous actions.
The Crown Prince, who was a little unhappy because he didn't receive a reply, saw Jiujiu's cute side. The anger in his heart instantly dissipated and was replaced by a smile.
Compared to Jiujiu's palm, the Crown Prince's palm was exceptionally wide and gentle. He gently brushed it across Jiujiu's forehead. The Crown Prince's voice was warm and gentle. He lowered his voice as he spoke, causing Jiujiu's tiredness to become even more intense.
After a while, Jiujiu completely fell asleep while holding onto the Crown Prince's sleeve.
When the banquet ended, Madam Yan and Yan Kui, who had come to fetch people, were shocked when they saw Jiujiu sleeping soundly while leaning on the Crown Prince's arm. They hurriedly apologized, "Crown Prince, Qing 'er …"
Before they finished speaking, the Crown Prince indicated for them to be quiet. Because Yan Kui's voice was too loud, Jiujiu, who was originally sleeping soundly, furrowed her little brows.
He didn't expect that in such a short time, the usually calm Crown Prince would actually show concern for Jiujiu. Yan Kui was both surprised and happy. All sorts of feelings welled up in his heart. However, he still felt troubled when he saw Jiujiu hugging the Crown Prince's arm.
Jiujiu had a temper when she woke up. Ever since she fell seriously ill last time, Madam Yan, who had originally spoiled Jiujiu, spoiled Jiujiu even more. Even the morning lessons started when Jiujiu woke up.
Moreover, once Jiujiu fell asleep, if she was woken up midway, she would definitely make a scene.
If it was in the past, it would be fine if she was woken up and cried. But now, seeing the Crown Prince's concern for Jiujiu, if Jiujiu cried and made a scene, the Crown Prince would probably be displeased.
Moreover, Yan Kui didn't want his precious daughter to cry, but he also couldn't let Jiujiu continue hugging the Crown Prince to sleep.
Because Yan Kui and Madam Yan didn't leave for a long time, the Emperor and the Empress also came over. When they saw Jiujiu hugging the Crown Prince's arm and sleeping soundly, the Emperor immediately laughed out loud: "Qing 'er fell asleep?"
The Crown Prince lowered his voice and replied to the Emperor: "She slept for a while."
Seeing the Crown Prince lower his voice, the Emperor, who understood the Crown Prince, instantly raised his eyebrows.
Because Jiujiu was asleep, she could lower her voice and talk to him. In such a short time, he already put the little girl in his heart.
The Emperor, who was originally afraid that the Crown Prince wouldn't like Jiujiu, was also relieved. He directly waved his hand and said to Yan Kui: "The little girl is still growing, so it's normal for her to be sleepy. Since Qing 'er is already asleep, why don't you stay in the palace tonight and let the Crown Prince personally send you back tomorrow? What do you think?"
Yan Kui didn't expect the Emperor to come up with such an idea. He was stunned for a moment. He looked at the Emperor, who had an expression of watching a show, and then looked at Jiujiu, who was sleeping soundly on the Crown Prince's arm. After hesitating for a while, he nodded his head and agreed.
The fact that Jiujiu was the Crown Prince's wife had long been known by the entire country. Since she would be together with the Crown Prince sooner or later, instead of being together with him without any feelings, it was better to cultivate their feelings while they were still young. Only then would their future days be more peaceful and beautiful.
After making up his mind, Yan Kui pulled the reluctant Madam Yan and quickly left the palace.
