Chapter 1421: Chapter 1416: Crown Prince Gets His Face Touched

She had just drawn a medical illustration book for her, just like she did for Rong Sheng, but after finishing it, she tore it up and even burned the scraps.

This truly shocked Su Yingxue.

She had never seen a child like Rong Xi, so young yet carrying such fierceness.

“Empress, there is someone outside the palace requesting an audience!” palace maid Ting Lan came to ask Su Yingxue.

“Is it Prince Chu?” Su Yingxue asked.

As soon as Chu Xi heard mention of Prince Chu, she ran towards the palace gate before Ting Lan could finish speaking.

Su Yingxue called after her, “Xi’er, slow down, don’t fall.”

Ting Lan cautiously spoke up, “Your Majesty, it is not Prince Chu who wishes to meet, but a Miss Yue Lian. She says she is an old acquaintance of Yours, and has brought her daughter to see you.”

“Yue Lian and her daughter have come?” Su Yingxue’s eyes lit up; could Zi Wei have also come?

After such a long time, she was indeed eager to see what Zi Wei looked like now that she was married with a child.

She probably wouldn’t be as cold as before.

Su Yingxue hurriedly instructed Ting Lan to welcome Yue Lian and her family at the palace gate. Seeing Ting Lan leaving to receive the guests, Chu Heng also clamored to go, and Su Yingxue, never imposing the Crown Prince’s identity on him, simply allowing him to be a normal child, allowed Ting Lan to take him along.

Chu Heng went with Ting Lan to the palace gate and glanced at the path near the imperial study, noting that Lu Mian, Lord Lu, did not deliberately slow his pace there today.

It seemed that the day he saw Lord Lu walking slowly here, he had a reason, probably intentionally waiting for Sister Ling’er.

Ah, adults’ behaviors are indeed complex.

He wondered, it’s a bit tedious to think about, should he bother?

Chu Xi ran towards the palace gate, elated, hoping to see Chu Yifeng coming towards her, but saw nothing and accidentally bumped into a little girl.

“Ouch! Are you blind? You’ve ruined the new dress my mother bought me!”

Yue Xin stomped her feet frantically.

Just now, the pearl flower on her dress had been knocked loose by Chu Xi’s bump.

Chu Xi, with a cold expression, ignored her.

Angered, Yue Xin stepped forward and tugged at Chu Xi, “I’m talking to you! Don’t you know to apologize after bumping into someone? Didn’t your mother teach you any manners?”

“Shut up!”

Chu Xi slapped her, irritation evident in her eyes.

“Xin’er!”

Yue Lian hurriedly picked Yue Xin up. The little girl wasn’t strong enough to cause serious harm, but a red mark still appeared on her tender face.

Yue Lian felt a heartache.

But she could not retaliate against this little girl in front of her.

She knew, with such a distinguished appearance and temper, this girl might be the legendary adopted daughter of Prince Chu, recently conferred as Princess Chu Xi.

A princess’s dignity was not something they could afford to offend.

All Yue Lian could do was pat Yue Xin’s back and comfort her, “Xin’er, be good, Mommy will buy you an even prettier new dress.”

“Mom, put me down.”

Yue Xin, holding back anger, Yue Lian thought she had been mollified by the promise of a new dress.

To her surprise, as soon as her feet touched the ground, she ran towards Chu Xi, raised her hand, and forcefully slapped her.

“Smack!”

The sound was especially crisp.

Chu Heng arrived just in time to witness the scene and was stunned!

Someone dared to hit his sister!

Goodness!

Even Shan Bao wouldn’t dare bare his teeth at Chu Xi, and after she stabbed the cold Imperial Consort, no one dared do anything to her.

This young lady, really…so brave!

Chu Heng’s heart surged with excitement, but he had to pretend to be undisturbed, and approached Yue Xin, “Young miss, why did you hit my sister?”

“Because she hit me first!” Yue Xin’s little head held high as she made a fuss at the palace gate, unafraid.

Having seen Chu Heng, Yue Lian quickly knelt to pay her respects, “Commoner pays homage to the Crown Prince.”

“Oh, please rise,” Chu Heng lifted his hand.

“Xin’er, quickly pay your respects to the Crown Prince as your mother has taught you,” Yue Lian reminded her by patting Yue Xin’s back.

Yue Xin performed a bow but scrutinized Chu Heng up and down, “So you’re the Crown Prince?”

Chu Heng’s eyes, jewel-like, rolled around, “Yes, I am the Crown Prince. Do you have any doubts?”

“I’m jealous!” Yue Xin pouted.

“Jealous of what?” Chu Heng felt somewhat curious.

“You have a Daddy, and you are also good-looking!” Yue Xin said as she reached out and pinched Chu Heng’s face.

How infuriating! His face was even softer than hers.

“You look good too,” Chu Heng said, evidently pleased despite having his face pinched.

Yue Lian sighed in relief. Thankfully, the Crown Prince wasn’t very temperamental and was an easy child to get along with.

“You dare to touch the reigning Crown Prince, you deserve to die!”

Chu Xi stared at Yue Xin, a murderous intent already evident in her eyes as her hand rested on the dagger at her waist.

“Chu Xi!”

Rong Sheng got out of the carriage upon seeing this scene and coldly intervened.

“Mom…” Chu Xi’s lips quivered, but she didn’t dare to make a sound.

Was she dreaming?

She was actually seeing her mother!

Hadn’t she said… she would never come to see her again?

“Look, it’s bustling even at the palace gate. Xi’er, you couldn’t wait to greet Daddy?” Chu Yifeng, tall and handsome, stepped forward, bringing with him an oppressive wicked breeze.

Yue Lian and Yue Xin both had to pay their respects to him.

Chu Yifeng, not much for social pleasantries, then waved his hand.

“Hello, Uncle.”

Chu Heng greeted him with a smile but retreated several steps.

Indeed, he hadn’t forgotten how his uncle almost killed him.

“Crown Prince, my respects,” Chu Yifeng gave a superficial bow to Chu Heng.

Chu Heng: …

I dare not accept this.

“Since Lord Eight and Doctor Rong have also arrived, please come into Phoenix Rest Palace. The empress is already waiting inside,” Ting Lan quickly invited them, eager to prevent any further incidents at the palace gate.

Yue Lian lifted Yue Xin and followed Ting Lan.

She advised Yue Xin with utmost concern, “Remember what mother said? If you see Daddy later, you must not call out to him, otherwise Daddy will never come back, understand?”

“I know!” Yue Xin responded impatiently, having heard this a hundred times from her mother.

He was clearly her Daddy, not stolen or robbed, yet she couldn’t claim him.

But she was still afraid of losing Daddy.

Chu Heng dared not get close to Chu Yifeng, his feet moving as if blown by the wind.

Chu Yifeng lifted Chu Xi, quite delighted, and kissed her, only to then see the blush on her cheek, “What happened to you?”

Chu Xi coldly stated, “That girl hit me.”

“She dared to hit you?” Chu Yifeng smiled teasingly, a murderous intent already sharp in his eyes.

Rong Sheng, with a cool expression, inquired, “What happened before she hit you?”

“I hit her first,” Chu Xi confessed honestly.

“In that case, on what grounds do you blame her?” Rong Sheng’s tone was stern.

Even if it was just a children’s fight, Chu Xi should not bully others by exploiting her status.
