Zhi’er responded in a baby voice: "Okay~ when Second Brother comes back, let him take me to buy some delicious food!"
Bai Xilie said calmly and gently: "He is often away, you should send more silver coins to him, don’t let him suffer, if there’s any trouble, come to me."
Prince Rui nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Second Brother."
On the first day of the new year, just after waking up, Zhi’er heard Qingmei say: "Princess, the Eldest Heir has come to pick you up."
The little one rubbed her big eyes: "Why is Big Brother here again?"
Bai Xuanmo, who was at the door, heard this milk-voiced inquiry and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Little Ball, you have no conscience, didn’t you promise brother yesterday to go to my mansion to plant buns?"
Oh, that’s right! She was supposed to plant a little bun and wait to harvest a lot!
Zhi’er ran out with happy steps: "Brother, here I come!"
Bai Xuanmo took her little hand and turned away.
Qingmei chased for a couple of steps: "Princess, the Emperor went to meet the ministers who came to pay respects for the new year, he hasn’t returned yet, maybe wait for him to return before going!?"
Zhi’er turned back, her voice soft and sweet: "Sister Qingmei, please tell Daddy for me, I’m not playing around, when Zhi’er comes back, I’ll bring a bunch of buns for Daddy to eat~"
After saying that, the little one followed Bai Xuanmo and left.
Upon arriving at Rui’s Mansion, the house servants greeted them respectfully.
Prince Rui and Princess Rui went out together to visit friends.
Bai Xuanmo seemed pleased, letting Zhi’er hold a plate of small buns herself.
He pointed to the back garden and said: "Sister, pick wherever you want to dig, plant the buns, and you will harvest a bunch then."
"Wow~" Zhi’er blinked her big eyes, looking around to find the place with the best feng shui.
Finally, her little hand pointed under a large tree: "Let’s plant it there!"
Bai Xuanmo waved to signal the house servants to bring shovels to dig.
He couldn’t help but chuckle from the heart.
Planting buns is of course just to entertain the child.
Turning back later, he would bring some freshly steamed buns for the little one, and she would know who truly loves her most.
Lost in these thoughts, when Bai Xuanmo returned to the present, he found Zhi’er holding a small bun, happily tasting it!
Whereas the plate in her hand was already empty!
Bai Xuanmo was startled: "Little Ball, why did you eat all the buns?"
Zhi’er lowered her head and looked at the plate, then raised her innocent water-like eyes: "Uh... I forgot these were meant for planting, I just got up, and I was so hungry~"
Faced with the little one’s soft and adorable expression, Bai Xuanmo could not bring himself to blame her, only smiled helplessly.
He raised his brows: "What to do now, the little one ate everything, we have no buns to plant, how about this, brother takes you to play in the town, what do you say?"
Zhi’er pouted, a bit hesitant.
She wanted to plant little buns...
But her little hand touched her just-full stomach.
Hmm, she could reluctantly play with Big Brother for a while.
Thinking this, the little one stretched out her hand: "Then we have to come back by noon! Brother can’t let Zhi Bao go hungry!"
Bai Xuanmo laughed, his face handsome, skin fair, hair dark, very relaxed.
"When did Big Brother ever wrong you?" With that, he picked up the little one, turned and left the mansion, taking a carriage to the town.
Today is the first day of the new year, there were fewer vendors.
But larger restaurants and shops had already opened early.
The carriage hadn’t stopped yet when Bai Xuanmo, pulling back the curtain, noticed a figure, suddenly squinting his eyes and laughing softly——
"Sister, we have something fun today."
