Chapter 83 Waiting for the Rabbit

"Stop fiddling around and eat first."

Xiao Mingxuan selected a few ingredients that were not too chewy and put them into Xihe's small bowl, but the little girl held the box and looked left and right.

After many twists and turns, it finally opened.

“It’s a toy.”

Zhou Tingchuan also knew how to cater to the other party's preferences. He did not give gold or silver that might cause people to gossip. Instead, he gave some interesting toys to amuse him.

Xihe held a bamboo dragonfly in the sun, looked at it, took a few glances, and then put it back.

"What? Don't you like it?"

Seeing Xihe put it back without much interest, Xiao Mingxuan asked curiously. If he remembered correctly, the little girl liked these toys the most, and the Fuhua Palace even opened a separate room for the little girl to store her toys.

"No, it's just that I have too many toys to play with." It must be said that the things Zhou Tingchuan collected were indeed very exquisite. Xihe liked them at first sight, but there were many similar things, so she didn't have to do this. "Little brother, do you... want to help me keep them?"

The little girl took a bite of the piece of fish that Xiao Mingxuan handed over and spoke incoherently.

"Want to comfort me?" Xiao Mingxuan said with understanding.

Having his little trick discovered, Xihe chuckled twice, without any embarrassment on his face. Instead, he admitted it openly, "Yes, then, little brother, do you want it?"

"Yes." Xiao Mingxuan raised his hand to take the box and shook it twice. "Leave it with me. I'll keep it for you."

"Then please keep it well, little brother. After all, it was given to you by someone else." Xihe knew Xiao Mingxuan's temper, and could sense that he was dissatisfied with Zhou Tingchuan, so she was afraid that he would throw it away.

"Don't worry, I will... take good care of it." Xiao Mingxuan almost uttered the last few words through gritted teeth.

When we get back, we will put it away, cover it with dust, and no one can see it. It is absolutely safe!
After appeasing the Big Bad Wolf, the little fox was in such a good mood that he even forgot about his toothache and ate to his heart's content.

Xiao Mingxuan smiled and said belatedly, "Xiao Xi'er, why are you so tolerant of me?"

Xihe had just stuffed the steamed bun into her mouth but hadn't swallowed it yet. She gulped down a few glasses of water. Hearing this, she said nonchalantly: "But... little brother is also tolerant. It's mutual!"

Xihe is a person who is always afraid of chaos in the world. She will never sleep well unless she does something every day. Xiao Mingxuan has dealt with countless messes since she followed her.

"I kind of miss your old self." Xiao Mingxuan took a sip of tea and looked at the little girl in front of him with puffy cheeks. His memory seemed to float back to the cold palace when he first met her.

At that time, Xihe was malnourished and very thin, but the pair of clear eyes made Xiao Mingxuan remember it for a long time.

Xihe was choked by the bun and coughed violently several times. With a pursed mouth, he stared at Xiao Mingxuan with a tearful look, "Little brother! Is it because I'm too naughty now?"

Xiao Mingxuan didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly smiled, and under the eager eyes of the little girl, he hit the other party mercilessly, "Well, it's true that I was better behaved before."

But...it's good now too.

A certain little fox stretched out its fangs, and pounced towards Xiao Mingxuan with a "woof", with an expression of arrogance and a bit of rogue in it, "No matter! You indulged me! You have to bear it!"

Xiao Mingxuan stretched out his arms to hold the little girl in his arms and asked, "Are you relying on me?"

The little girl responded in a muffled voice, "No matter! Who told you to teach me so harshly?"

Xihe had heard Zhao Siyuan complain the day before, saying how well-behaved and gentle she used to be, but how come she had turned into a little tigress now.

For this reason, Xihe thought about it carefully and guessed that her temper had become worse after she met Xiao Mingxuan.

In essence, it was Xiao Mingxuan who taught me!

Xiao Mingxuan almost laughed out of anger, "Little Ancestor, can you please be reasonable? What did I teach you?"

Then he continued to persuade her: "Did I teach you how to beat people?" "No."

"So I taught you to curse?"

"nor."

"Then what have I taught you? I won't take this pot." Xiao Mingxuan freed one hand, stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth, leaned sideways in the chair, smiling, waiting for Xihe's answer.

Xihe had a conflicted look on her face, and she had pulled out several of her few beautiful hairs.

It seemed that Xiao Mingxuan had never taught her anything, but for some reason she became more and more courageous.

"I don't know! I can't remember! No matter what, you just indulged me." Unable to figure it out, Xihe simply acted like a rogue. Anyway, she knew in her heart that Xiao Mingxuan would not do anything to her.

Perhaps she herself did not even realize that over time, Xiao Mingxuan had silently given Xihe the confidence to act tyrannically.

No matter when, where, or what the situation, Xihe would not be afraid of whether there was an abyss behind her, as if she subconsciously knew that Xiao Mingxuan would support her behind her.

always there.

The trust in the little girl's heart and eyes heated up Xiao Mingxuan's few remaining passions. He looked at the little girl hugging his arms tightly, and the helplessness in his words almost overflowed, "Okay, I raised her, I spoiled her, I'll bear it."

Xiao Mingxuan kept feeding the little girl, but she was too lazy to do anything. She just opened her mouth and ate happily.

"Little brother, I can't eat anymore."

Xihe touched her belly and tilted her head to avoid Xiao Mingxuan's attempt to feed her again.

"Have another bite!" Xiao Mingxuan glanced at the leftovers on the table, estimated the amount of food he had eaten, and scooped a spoonful of porridge to Xihe's mouth, "One last bite."

"Little brother, you said the same thing just now." Xihe had a sad face and accused Xiao Mingxuan of his "evil deeds".

Xiao Mingxuan was about to pull the person over when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, I am your servant."

It’s Yunhui’s voice.

"Come in." Seeing that Xihe really couldn't swallow it anymore, Xiao Mingxuan put the bowl on the table and took a wet towel from the side to wash the girl's hands.

Yun Hui came in and handed over a visiting card. "Princess, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, the Jiang Mansion sent a visiting card to invite the little princess to visit the Jiang Mansion."

Xihe took it, looked it over, and asked, "Jiang family? Which Jiang family?"

"It should be Jiang Zi's family." Xiao Mingxuan knew a little about the clans in Jiangnan, "It was the one who stopped us at the bridge that day."

"So it's her." Xihe held the red-sealed invitation in her hand, not interested. "Can I... not go? That Jiang Zi is so annoying. I don't want to go."

Moreover, the other party is related by marriage to the Anyuan Palace, which means they are simply enemies.

"Then don't go." Xiao Mingxuan took the visiting card back and handed it to Yun Hui, "If you don't want to go, forget it. No one can make things difficult for you."

"Great."

Xihe's joy did not last long, as they both met Magistrate Jiang and his wife who had been waiting for a long time outside the restaurant.

Sit back and wait for something to happen.
