Chapter 4 Hug Me, It Won't Hurt
Emperor Jingyuan drank several sips of tea before he suppressed the rage in his heart. He walked into the inner room and found that the palace maid had already dressed his little daughter and was applying medicine to the bruises on her arms. Every time he saw a wound, Emperor Jingyuan became more angry.

New injuries plus old ones, what on earth happened to this child?

Seeing that Emperor Jingyuan was staring at the scars, Xihe quietly pulled Emperor Jingyuan's hand and grinned, "Don't worry, Daddy, Xiaoliu won't feel any pain. Just blow on it and the pain will go away. This is what Sister Yunhui taught me. Every time Xiaoliu feels pain, just blow on it and it will feel much better."

Xihe touched the frowned brow of Emperor Jingyuan with his other hand and said, "Daddy, don't frown. Hug Xiaoliu. It won't hurt if you hug me."

Emperor Jingyuan reached out and hugged the weak child in his arms. He couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, but he also hated the person who did it.

"Daddy, Xiaoliu is fine. It doesn't hurt. Daddy, please don't be angry. Being angry hurts your body. Xiaoliu doesn't want Daddy to feel bad."

"Okay, then Daddy won't be angry anymore and will listen to our Xiaoliu."

The little girl suddenly became excited, "Daddy, how about we make a pinky promise?"

Xihe stretched out her little hand and pulled Emperor Jingyuan's hand without caring whether Emperor Jingyuan agreed or not, while saying something with great confidence.

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Emperor Jingyuan's lips. His cold eyes gradually softened and he let the little girl hold his hand.

Looking at his well-behaved and sensible daughter in his arms, Emperor Jingyuan's calm heart was slightly shaken. He touched Xihe's soft hair with heartache, but found that his daughter had fallen asleep in his arms.

Seeing this, Sanping hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I will carry the little princess to sleep."

As soon as Sanping stepped forward, he was frightened away by a cold look from Emperor Jingyuan and quickly apologized.

"I'll do it myself, go down."

Emperor Jingyuan gently held the little girl in his arms and just as he put her on the bed, he heard noisy shouting outside.

As expected, the little girl seemed to be startled and frowned, as if she was about to wake up. Emperor Jingyuan's face suddenly turned cold, "Who is outside?"

"Your Majesty, it's Consort Shu. She said she has prepared delicious food for Your Majesty and wants to invite Your Majesty to her palace."

Emperor Jingyuan was not interested in women and devoted himself to government affairs. It was considered a lot for him to see the concubines in the harem two or three times a month. This Concubine Yun Shu relied on being the cousin of the emperor and broke into the Yuanyang Palace many times. But because she was the niece of the empress dowager, Sanping did not dare to treat her like other concubines.

Emperor Jingyuan narrowed his eyes, and the violent anger in his heart surged up again.

What is a cousin? When he gets mad, he dares to kill even his own son. How dare a cousin who is thousands of miles away dare to come here and make trouble? He must be tired of living.
Just when I was about to go out and kill that ungrateful idiot, I heard my little daughter mumbling in her sleep.

"Daddy, don't be angry...Daddy should be happy."

The anger in Emperor Jingyuan's heart was extinguished immediately. He pinched the corner of the quilt for his little daughter. Then he turned his head and his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Sanping, go tell her that if she doesn't want to be the concubine, there are many people who want to take the position."

What Emperor Jingyuan meant was that there was no need to show any preferential treatment to this so-called cousin, and anyone who offended the emperor would be punished by death.

"The slave understands."

When Sanping bowed and left, he saw His Majesty take off his outer shirt, lie on the bed, and slowly hold the little princess in his arms. He couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He looked like he had found a treasure, and he was really afraid of dropping it.

Things are going to change in this palace.
