Chapter 751 Determination

Chapter 751: Determination Chapter 751: Determination Editor: Atlas Studios Little Bear hugged his mother’s leg and cried extremely sadly.

As he sobbed, he shouted, “Daddy lied to me, he lied to me!

Baddie!

Big big baddie!” Eunuch Wan looked at him blankly.

Mu Yangling hurriedly smiled apologetically at Eunuch Wan and asked someone to send him out.

She hugged Little Bear and coaxed him.

Too engrossed in crying, he did not take to her coaxing.

He only believed that his father had lied to him after he’d clearly promised to bring him into the palace.

Helpless, Mu Yangling could only wipe his tears and say, “Your father didn’t lie to you…” Little Bear only closed his eyes and cried as he shouted aggrievedly, “Daddy lied.

He’s a baddie.

A big baddie.

I won’t play with him anymore.

I won’t sleep with him anymore.” Mu Yangling pulled him into her arms and swung him around the house.

Perhaps it was because his mother’s embrace made him feel at ease, or perhaps it was because Mu Yangling’s soft comforting words comforted his heart.

Little Bear was finally willing to open his eyes and look at his mother.

However, under his teary gaze, Mu Yangling found it very difficult to reject his request.

Moreover, she could not let Qi Haoran be accused of lying to her son.

Mu Yangling carried him and sat down on a chair, letting him sit on her lap.

She looked into his eyes and asked gently, “Do you really want to enter the palace to participate in the Crown Prince’s conferment ceremony?” Little Bear pouted and said, “Daddy lied.

He clearly promised to bring me into the palace.” “What did Daddy tell you back then?” The bright Little Bear could replicate every word that the adults had said.

He said aggrievedly, “Daddy said that he’d bring Little Bear into the palace and see Brother Little Treasure become the Crown Prince.

He didn’t keep his word.

He’s a bad person!” “Daddy said that he’d personally bring Little Bear into the palace?” Little Bear nodded vigorously.

“But Daddy isn’t at home now.

He’s at the palace.

Your Royal Uncle is very, very busy.

He’s so busy that he has no time to sleep, so Daddy went to the palace to help him with his work.

Since he can’t leave the palace, does that mean he can’t bring Little Bear into the palace?” Mu Yangling said in a low voice, “This is work.

It’s an emergency.

Your Daddy can’t control it, so you can’t blame him.” Little Bear tilted his head and looked at his mother, still a little puzzled.

Then, he pointed at his mother and said, “Mother can bring me to the palace.” Mu Yangling explained, “You’re too big for me to carry, and we can’t go in a carriage.

I can’t bring you along.” Little Bear’s eyes were filled with tears again.

He looked at his mother aggrievedly and said, “Why isn’t Daddy coming?” “Daddy needs to help your Royal Uncle with his work.” Little Bear didn’t care and only said, “I want Daddy, I want Daddy!” He slid down Mu Yangling’s leg and was about to run out of the door when Mu Yangling hurriedly caught up to him.

As she chased after him, she coaxed, “Daddy is in the palace.

He hasn’t left the palace yet.” Little Bear wiped his tears as he ran out, crying, “I want Daddy!

I want Daddy!” Little Bear held onto the door and sobbed until his shoulders twitched.

When he looked out, there was no one on the empty street.

Little Bear twitched even more as he gazed at the empty street with teary eyes, muttering, “Daddy, Daddy…” Before the Crown Prince was conferred the title, he still had to offer sacrifices to the heavens.

As this was the most solemn conferment ceremony since Qi Xiuyuan ascended the throne, and Qi Xiuyuan wanted to do right by his son, this celebration was not a simple version, but a complete version.

Having been rehearsing under the guidance of an old palace servant since half a month ago, Mu Yangling knew that a three-year-old child certainly couldn’t withstand such a level of exhaustion.

Firstly, they had to queue up to enter the palace at five in the morning, and they might not be able to leave the palace until eight in the evening.

Only tea was provided, so they could only bring some mild-smelling pastries in their pockets to stave off the hunger.

How could Mu Yangling dare to bring Little Bear into the palace for the ceremony?

If it was Qi Haoran who brought him along, Little Bear could still find time to rest in the Emperor’s resting lounge with someone watching over him.

There was no need to think about going to the Empress’s place, because this time, even the Empress herself wouldn’t have the time and space to rest.

Only the Emperor and the Crown Prince had such luxury.

However, when she saw her son holding onto the door frame and looking at the streets crying for his daddy, Mu Yangling felt conflicted.

Mu Yangling promised him a lot of fun activities and delicious food, but Little Bear gazed firmly at the street entrance, determined to wait for his father to come back.

Every afternoon, he would come here to wait for his father.

His father would run over from the other end of the street and pick him up.

Then, the father-and-son duo would take a walk around the street before returning home.

Little Bear decided to sit here and wait today, refusing to believe that his daddy wouldn’t come back.

Mu Yangling could only change her words.

“Daddy can only come back in the afternoon and it’s only morning now.

Let’s go back first, okay?” Little Bear sat on the threshold and looked at the street silently.

Mu Yangling stood up and patted her butt.

“I made tofu.” Seeing that Little Bear continued to gaze ahead firmly, Mu Yangling said faintly, “Oh, now that the kitchen has been taken over by Grandmother, I don’t have to cook anymore.

The tofu was actually made by Grandmother.” Little Bear’s ears twitched.

Mu Yangling continued, “Grandmother is also going to make stewed meatballs with crab roe.

It’s my favorite dish.” Little Bear turned around and said, “It’s also my favorite.” Mu Yangling sighed.

“But if you don’t go back, you won’t be able to eat it.

Considering I like it so much, what if I can’t control myself and eat it all?” Little Bear drooled, caught in a dilemma.

“Your daddy won’t be back until tonight.

There’s still a long, long time before night falls.

Do you plan to skip breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea?

Did I mention that Grandmother is going to make shrimp paste in the afternoon?” Little Bear complained loudly, “No!” “Then I’m telling you now.

Your grandmother is going to make prawn paste for us in the afternoon.

How about that?

Do you want to go back with me?” Little Bear turned to look at the empty streets again and muttered, “Daddy won’t be back until tonight.” Mu Yangling nodded fiercely.

“And Grandmother is making tofu and stewed meatballs with crab roe now.” Mu Yangling continued to nod.

“There’s also prawn paste in the afternoon…” Little Bear supported his chin and hesitated for a while before climbing up from the door frame.

He said to his mother, “I’ll come back to wait for Daddy after I finish eating the prawn paste.” “Alright, I’ll wait with you then…” That is, if you can still remember it by then.

Mu Yangling expended a lot of effort to keep Little Bear in the backyard with the temptation of delicious food and toys.

For this, she didn’t even hesitate to disrupt his biological clock and let him finish his afternoon tea before taking an afternoon nap.

Exhausted, Mu Yangling stood up and said, “This child is too difficult to serve.

Mother, you have to tempt him with food again tomorrow to make him stay in the residence.” Shu Wanniang said, “I think it’s difficult.

This child’s temper is the same as when you and Haoran were young.

He’s stubborn and won’t change his mind once he’s decided on something.

What if I fail to coax him tomorrow?” “Even if we fail to, we can’t bring him into the palace.

With no one looking after him, he will be impeached by the imperial censor should he misbehave.

Moreover, he will have to bask in the sun for a day.

How can he stand it?” Mu Yangling felt that it was better for Little Bear to stay at home with his grandmother and siblings than to suffer in the palace.

However, who knew that this child’s obsession was so deep?

Just as Mu Yangling felt that she could muddle through today, Little Bear crawled up from the bed in a daze and staggered towards the main door, muttering, “Daddy is coming back.

I have to wait for Daddy.”
