Chapter 1119 - 916 Fourth Uncle
"I have a gift."Suisui blinked and refused to accept the birthday gift Yanyan offered to share. She turned her head, closed her eyes, and continued sleeping.
Yanyan: "..."
"How could she be like this? You clearly wanted to share a gift with her, but she refused to appreciate it!"
"She’s a princess. My mom said we absolutely must not offend her. Otherwise, if she’s unhappy, we’ll be in big trouble."
The two children next to Yanyan made a face towards Suisui’s direction, showing a rather unfriendly attitude.
Another child added, "Aren’t you afraid? She has such a long scar on her face, I don’t even dare to look at her!"
Yanyan put things away and told them, "You shouldn’t say that. Suisui is actually very nice. You shouldn’t speak about her like that. Her face actually..."
Yanyan suddenly stopped as she turned her head and caught Suisui’s sideways glance staring at her.
...
Suisui thought it was another boring day, and maybe she shouldn’t come to this hall anymore!
Liu Yuheng, the Governor of the Southwest Road, came to the capital, along with his wife and daughter.
The arrival of the Liu Family in the capital drew a lot of attention from everyone.
Especially Ji Youzhi, the Li Family, and the Minister’s Mansion.
The daughter from the Liu Family is a budding beauty, and the young masters in the capital stretched their necks to see below, but unfortunately, while the Liu family’s daughter sat in the carriage, they couldn’t see her. Even when the wind blew and lifted the curtain, they could only see a young girl with a veil!
"Liu Yuheng has entered the capital. What are you planning to do?"
In the Imperial Study, the Emperor and Ji Youzhi were sitting face-to-face playing chess. Ji Youzhi placed a piece, turning a dead end into a viable opportunity.
"This is all that’s missing. Just wait, tonight I will go to the Liu Mansion as a guest. I’ll help you take a look and see if the future empress is as beautiful as the rumors say."
The Emperor glanced sideways at him, "Are you itching for trouble?"
"How could that be? I’m just thinking about your benefit. If you don’t confirm it now, what if the Liu family’s young lady that enters the harem turns out to be a hideous monster?"
"Stop joking around. I’m calling you here for a serious matter. Suisui has been sleeping in class for half a month. None of the children of the royal nobles play with her. You need to come up with a solution!"
Hearing the Emperor’s words, Ji Youzhi couldn’t help but laugh.
"She’s a child with the mind of an eight or nine-year-old. You put her with a group of little crybabies, do you think that makes her happy?"
Emperor: "..."
"Today is her birthday. I plan to have Eunuch Ling bring her back to the palace and help her celebrate a bit. You go back early and tell the old lady not to bother preparing a banquet for her."
Ji Youzhi: "..."
Scratching his head, he felt he should argue for his own mother’s sake.
"Let’s forget it! The child is so young; celebrating her birthday in the palace like this is too much attention. How about we postpone it until she grows older?"
Emperor: "..."
The Emperor’s eyes, sharp as knives, nearly sliced Ji Youzhi into pieces.
"She’s my daughter. I want to pamper her. What business is it of yours?"
Ji Youzhi: "..."
In the end, Ji Youzhi compromised, "Alright, I’ll go get her from the hall right away."
"Take her directly to Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager has been preparing for three days."
The Emperor instructed him.
When Ji Youzhi arrived at the hall, Suisui was carrying her small school bag and running out from the main gate. Since starting school, she was the last to arrive and the first to leave, her departure more like being chased by a dog!
"Uncle Seventh!" Seeing Ji Youzhi, the little girl paused for a moment, then reacted and dashed into Ji Youzhi’s arms.
Ji Youzhi reached out, ready to scoop her up as usual, but then suddenly remembered that the little girl didn’t like being picked up, so he let her hug his leg and act spoiled.
"You’re the first to run out again. Is there a tiger at your school? You’re always the first to run out after school!"
Suisui just giggled and said, "The hall doesn’t have a big tiger, but we have a big tiger at home!"
"Awooo..." Suddenly, the big tiger lounging near Zhao Fei roared. Zhao Fei glanced at it, "Big Tiger, what’s up with you?"
As it turned out, there was nothing wrong with the big tiger. It closed its eyes and tilted its head back to sleep.
Zhao Fei scratched his head and continued fussing with the herbs.
Meanwhile, Suisui was holding Ji Youzhi’s leg, ready to get on the carriage, when she heard a familiar voice calling Yanyan from nearby.
