The Crown Prince bent down to pick up Jiujiu as the Emperor and Empress continued their banter and quickly walked towards his palace.
Although Jiujiu was young, her weight was not small. Although the Crown Prince had practiced martial arts since he was young and his physical strength was much better than the average man, carrying Jiujiu all the way from the imperial garden to the palace was still very tiring. Looking at Jiujiu lying beside him, the Crown Prince was too lazy to wash up. He directly used the hot towel that the palace maid brought over to wipe his hands and then lay down beside Jiujiu to sleep.
Because he was tired, the Crown Prince slept especially soundly.
When Jiujiu woke up, her nose was filled with the smell of ambergris and a clear smell of grass. This was not present in her room.
Jiujiu raised her small hand to rub her sore eyes. Before she could open her eyes, she heard a male voice with a thick nasal sound: "Awake?"
Jiujiu's body stiffened and then she immediately realized that this man was the Crown Prince.
Opening her eyes, she saw the Crown Prince lying beside her with a faint blush on his cheeks due to his sleep. The corners of Jiujiu's mouth immediately curled up. She hugged the Crown Prince's neck and kissed him twice. She cheerfully shouted: "Brother Crown Prince."
Hearing Jiujiu's sweet and tender voice, the Crown Prince's face instantly revealed a smile.
Last night, he hugged Jiujiu to sleep the entire night.
He originally thought that it would be uncomfortable to have another person, but later he discovered that with a fragrant and soft little baby in his arms, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, she slept especially soundly. It was so comfortable that he simply wanted to hug her in his arms and not let go.
The Crown Prince lowered his head and looked at the two little red clouds floating on Jiujiu's baby fat. Then he looked at those large eyes that were covered with a layer of mist from being rubbed. Then he looked at those pink little lips. The Crown Prince inexplicably felt his cheeks heat up. He wanted to kiss Jiujiu's cheeks like Jiujiu, but in the end he controlled himself.
Jiujiu was a little girl and was not sensible. He had already grown up and could not be as insensible as Jiujiu.
The Crown Prince stood up and had someone come in to serve her.
Because of the Emperor's orders, the considerate steward had already brought small clothes suitable for Jiujiu. Jiujiu obediently let someone help her dress like she was at home. From time to time, she would glance at the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince also looked over, she immediately opened her mouth to reveal a large and brilliant smile.
The crown prince's mood also improved along with Jiujiu's brilliant and innocent smile.
After washing up with the help of the palace maids, the Crown Prince brought Jiujiu for breakfast.
The Crown Prince was the Crown Prince of a country, so his breakfast was naturally sumptuous. Looking at the exquisite snacks on the table, Jiujiu's eyes immediately lit up.
Jiujiu didn't like anything except eating.
Seeing Jiujiu drooling as she looked at the small pastries on the table and didn't forget to look back at him, the Crown Prince's mood became even better. He sat next to Jiujiu and picked up a soup dumpling and put it in Jiujiu's small bowl.
Seeing the Crown Prince give her the soup dumpling that she had been drooling over, Jiujiu's impression of the Crown Prince was extremely good. She immediately turned her head and gave the Crown Prince a big smile. Then, she picked up her small chopsticks and stuffed the soup dumpling into her mouth.
The soup dumpling had a thin skin. Jiujiu gently took a small bite and immediately sucked the soup inside the soup dumpling.
The food made by the imperial chef was naturally not ordinary. It tasted many times better than the soup dumplings outside. It was so delicious that Jiujiu's eyes narrowed. She even impatiently waited for herself to grow up. Not for anything else, but for such delicious soup dumplings, she wanted to marry the Crown Prince as soon as possible.
Sure enough, foodies had no moral integrity.
Seeing Jiujiu eating so happily, the Crown Prince's appetite increased. He ate a lot more than usual.
After breakfast, Jiujiu ate many exquisite pastries. In the end, she drank two big bowls of sour plum soup. If the Crown Prince didn't see that Jiujiu was eating too much and asked someone to pull the food away, Jiujiu could still eat a little more.
The Crown Prince carried Jiujiu. Although he felt that Jiujiu was heavier than in the morning, it couldn't be seen from the outside. He touched Jiujiu's small belly. Although there was some soft meat, it didn't protrude too much. It was too amazing that she couldn't see any traces of it after eating so much.
However, the Crown Prince didn't dare to let Jiujiu continue to eat.
The Crown Prince carried Jiujiu and walked out while gently asking: "Does Qing 'er want to go home?"
Jiujiu obediently hugged the Crown Prince's neck. She turned her head to look at the Crown Prince and blinked: "Can I eat delicious food when I go back?"
The Crown Prince was choked by Jiujiu: "… Yes."
"Then can I see Crown Prince Gege when I go back?" Jiujiu continued to ask with her head tilted.
The Crown Prince was silent for a moment: "I still have schoolwork …"
Without waiting for the Crown Prince to finish, Jiujiu straightforwardly refused: "No, Sister Chun said that if you marry a chicken, you have to follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you have to follow the dog. Crown Prince Gege is Qing 'er's husband. Wherever Crown Prince Gege is, Qing' er will be there."
Jiujiu's words were exceptionally natural, without a trace of pretense.
However, the Crown Prince, who was described as a chicken or a dog, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Looking at the innocent face of Jiujiu, he couldn't help but sigh. He bent down to put Jiujiu down and gently rubbed the top of Jiujiu's head: "Qing 'er hasn't married me yet. She can't be with me."
"Then let's get married now." Jiujiu raised her head to look into the Crown Prince's eyes and said.
The Crown Prince: "Qing 'er is still young."
"I'm not young, I'm already five years old." Jiujiu counted with her fingers: "Mother said that my birthday is in a month. At that time, I will be six years old. Six years old is already a big child, I can get married."
Jiujiu said with a serious face.
The Crown Prince: "…"
Looking at Jiujiu's stubborn face and insisting on marrying him, the Crown Prince rubbed his forehead with some headache. He bent down to pick up Jiujiu and walked out.
The two people sat in the carriage and staggered towards the General's Mansion.
Jiujiu didn't look at the streets before. Sitting in the carriage, she was particularly restless, constantly making a fuss to look outside. The Crown Prince also followed Jiujiu to open a corner of the curtain and picked up Jiujiu to look outside.
Outside, there were various snacks, malt candy, candied haws, and the fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts. On the roadside, there were people buying hairpins, people selling rouge and face powder, and people selling clay figurines. Looking greedily, when passing by a pastry shop, suddenly, there was a flash in front of her eyes. Jiujiu's eyes instantly tightened.
If she didn't see wrong, the person who had just entered the pastry shop was Su Wan.
Su Wan's appearance, whether in the future or now, was particularly distinctive, especially between the eyebrows.
In the future, it may be because she had experienced a lot of things and had a lot of experience, so she could hide it. But now, because she was young, her eyebrows were full of arrogance.
Seeing Su Wan walk into the pastry shop, Jiujiu was a little impatient in an instant. She hugged the Crown Prince's arm and made a fuss.
"Gege Crown Prince, Gege Crown Prince, let the carriage stop, stop."
The guard driving the carriage outside heard Jiujiu's order to stop and quickly stopped the carriage.
