Chapter 842

Consort Hui was totally frightened.

"Emperor, Yi An doesn’t know any better..."

Zhao Junyao directly ignored her and simply said with a smile.

"Not know any better? My daughter, why would she need to be sensible, right Yi An?!"

Yi An giggled again.

"Exactly, Father. I don’t want to be sensible!"

Like the eldest sister, she’s sensible enough.

Taught by Consort Ning to the point of being foolish.

Thus, in the mind of seven-year-old Yi An, being sensible equates to being foolish!

How insightful!

Father and daughter played for a good while before they finally settled down.

Consort Hui could finally breathe easy again.

She looked at Yi An and shook her head helplessly.

"Emperor, don’t indulge her in everything, you’ll spoil her rotten!"

Zhao Junyao took a sip of tea and waved it off.

"Spoil her? How bad could a little girl get?"

"Besides, it’s no harm for a princess of the imperial family to be a bit pampered, as long as I’m here, I can protect her from suffering grievances her whole life!"

Consort Hui was speechless and could only smile helplessly.

Yi An tilted her head and gave her mother Consort a cheeky smile.

Consort Hui’s eyes were filled with tenderness.

"You, don’t rely on your Father’s pampering to misbehave, you still need to learn manners!"

Little Yi An’s big eyes were filled with grievance.

"Father, look at Mother!"

Zhao Junyao laughed as well.

"Your Mother also wants what’s best for you!"

Yi An had no choice but to lower her head. "Alright, alright, I’ll learn, isn’t that good enough?"

Everyone in the room laughed.

The Emperor’s meal was set at the Zhaoxiang Pavilion.

Before the meal started, Zhao Junyao instructed someone to go to the Precious Stream Pavilion and bring over the Third Princess.

Under the excuse of: haven’t seen her in a while, terribly missed her!

Upon hearing the news, Consort Shih Pin surprisingly didn’t react much.

She simply responded respectfully.

Then instructed that the Third Princess be properly cleaned and brought over by the sisters.

On the surface, she showed no reaction.

But deep inside, she felt complicated.

There was humiliation, but also joy.

The humiliation was because the Emperor missed the Princess but didn’t come to find her.

Instead, he had her brought over, and brought to Consort Hui’s place.

She could hardly believe it, was Consort Hui now even above her?!

But the joy was also real.

After all, the Emperor still cared for the Third Princess, which was a leverage.

As long as she took good care of the Third Princess, one day the Emperor would change his impression of her.

One day, she would have a chance.

Living was hope.

Now was not the time; it was best to lie low and gather strength!

Meanwhile, at the Zhaoxiang Pavilion.

It was the first time the Third Princess came here.

On her slightly pale face, there was much unease.

Her small hands clutched tightly together, as if she was very scared.

Upon entering the main hall, seeing the Emperor, Consort Hui, and the Second Princess, all these ’strangers.’

She was terribly frightened.

With a pout, she started crying and hid behind the sister.

Fortunately, the sister quickly knelt down and pointed out.

"Princess, this is your Father, this is Consort Hui, and this is your sister, Yi An the Second Princess!"

Yet Yijing didn’t listen, with tears still in her eyes she continued to hide.

Still muttering vaguely.

"I don’t want, I don’t want, I don’t want!"

Consort Hui looked at her with a face full of heartache, got up and walked forward to pull her.

"Good child, don’t be scared! I am your Consort Hui, this is your second sister, you can often come play in the future!"

Yi An also ran forward to comfort her.

"Sister! How about I take you to catch little fish?"

"Oh right, didn’t you feed a pair of rabbits? I know Consort Xia’s garden has many carrots, let’s go pick some to feed the rabbits!"

That pair of rabbits was given to her by Xia Ruqing on her birthday.

After a few months, fortunately with the servants’ care, they didn’t die.

Those were Yijing’s favorite things.

As soon as the little girl heard about feeding the rabbits, she stopped crying, clapping her little hands.

"Alright, feed the rabbits!"

Her long eyelashes still had undried tears, but her face was already filled with an expectant smile.

Yi An happily said.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you there!"

Saying that, she took her hand and was about to leave.

Consort Hui quickly stopped them.

"It’s midday now, the sun is too harsh, do you want to burn your sister? Let’s eat first!"

"After the meal, Mother will have someone take you there, okay?"

Yi An looked at Yijing, then nodded.

"Alright then!"

Yijing saw her sister nod, not really understanding, so she nodded along.

Only then did Consort Hui feel relieved.

Zhao Junyao looked at Consort Hui, then at his two daughters.

Thinking inwardly, Qingqing is still the best.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Qingqing reminding him, he might miss out on his daughters’ growth.

Yes...thinking of that, she’s still the best!

...

After lunch, both children were sleepy.

Yi An was in the habit of taking midday naps.

Once asleep, the sister took her away.

Yijing was just three years old, a little baby, and even sleepier, by now she couldn’t hold it any longer.

Consort Hui then had the sister find a bed for her in the side room to let her sleep well.

After arranging all this, it was already past noon.

Consort Hui was also a bit sleepy, but she was a little embarrassed, muttering to herself:

Why isn’t the Emperor leaving yet, how could she rest like this?!

Zhao Junyao had no intention of resting there; he looked around.

Then patted Consort Hui on the shoulder and advised.

"Take good care of the children, I’ll come to see you another day!"

"Yes!"

"I accept the order, Your Majesty!"

With that, Zhao Junyao left.

Consort Hui bowed: "Respectfully sending off the Emperor!"

...

Leaving Zhaoxiang Pavilion, the sun was still scorching.

Zhao Junyao didn’t feel the heat, he was simply happy inside.

Thinking about it, since there’s nothing special at Zhaochen Palace, he decided to head to Duanning Palace instead.

At Duanning Palace.

Xia Ruqing had long fallen asleep and was sleeping soundly.

Zhao Junyao felt somewhat unbalanced.

It seemed that after driving him away, she was living more blissfully.

No way!

If she’s blissful, he must be even more blissful.

Someone thought sneakily for a moment.

Then sent the servants away.

He himself took off his clothes and squeezed onto the bed.

Xia Ruqing was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a warm body approaching, and she frowned, turning her body.

"It’s too hot!"

Zhao Junyao gave a mischievous smile and kissed her behind the ear.

Then gently said.

"Qingqing, have a daughter for me!" A daughter just for the two of us.

If there really was one, he would surely give her the best things in the world.

Slightly awake, Xia Ruqing smiled gently upon hearing the word daughter.

"Daughter? I like that!"

Zhao Junyao was suddenly filled with excitement.

"So, you agree?"

Xia Ruqing drowsily nodded.

"Mmm, mmm!"

Zhao Junyao was so excited his breathing became unsteady, and he tore off her clothing.

"Then here I...come!"

With that, a big hand waved, and layers of curtains fell.

Soon after, their clothes were flung out of the curtain one by one.

A while later, certain indescribable sounds came from inside the curtain.

Li Shengan and Zi Yue outside blushed red.

This was in broad daylight!

To break the awkward atmosphere.

They looked around aimlessly, exchanging glances with one another.

’The weather’s nice today, isn’t it?’

’Yes, yes!’
