Bai Zhi’er blinked her dark eyelashes, her voice soft and sweet.
"I’m already three years old, of course I can eat by myself. Can’t Third Uncle?"
Prince Kang, with a tone of teasing a child, said, "Third Uncle isn’t as skilled as you, I still need to learn from Zhi Bao!"
Bai Zhi’er pondered, "Hmm... If you lie there with your mouth open and have a pretty big sister feeding you grapes, then Third Uncle is pretty much like me!"
At these words, even Qingmei’s face changed.
Prince Kang’s notorious reputation is known even to the Princess!
Bai Nanjing smiled awkwardly.
This must have been said by his sister-in-law, Jing Jia!
Look, even such a small child has been influenced negatively!
How can he ever establish a grand image in Zhi Bao’s mind?
Bai Nanjing waved his hand, "Don’t listen to those rumors, they’re all false. Little Zhi’er, how about going home with Uncle Wang, let five brothers accompany you to play horseback riding."
"Does Third Uncle’s home have delicious pastries?"
"Whatever you want to eat, we have it! At Uncle Wang’s place, there are four chefs from four different places. Have you tasted roasted lamb? Grilled with a big fire, sprinkled with salt, it’s aromatic and juicy!"
Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but lick her pink lips after hearing this.
She decisively extended her two chubby little arms, "I’m going!"
Prince Kang laughed heartily and picked her up.
The little one in his arms was soft and light.
Prince Kang thought of her, just a baby, roaming outside for years.
He couldn’t help but feel a pang of affection.
"Let’s go, Uncle Wang will take you for good food and make Zhi Bao plump!"
He strode towards the outside.
Qingmei hurried to catch up, "Prince, Prince! The Emperor hasn’t agreed for the Princess to leave the palace yet!"
Prince Kang casually said, "Can’t you just inform my Imperial Brother? Besides, I’m her real uncle, I wouldn’t sell her, would I?"
Bai Zhi’er, thinking about the food, turned her head and said to Qingmei, "That’s right, Third Uncle isn’t as clever as me, who sells whom is uncertain! Sister Qingmei, don’t worry!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Kang wasn’t angry at all and laughed heartily.
"You little spirit, you sure have quite the mouth!"
Watching the two walk farther and farther.
Qingmei quickly called a palace attendant, "Once the Emperor finishes court, you must quickly inform him that Prince Kang has taken the little princess away. I’ll take two Imperial Guards to follow them."
Bai Nanjing came to the palace today actually because he was out too late last night and feared getting a beating from his wife upon returning home.
The wife he married was a famously fierce woman in their village back then.
So, Bai Nanjing thought to hide in the palace.
Maybe he’d be able to get one or two precious treasures from Bai Xilie to pacify his wife.
But the moment he entered Ruizhu Palace, he was captivated by the petite and adorable Bai Zhi’er.
Hence, he immediately decided to take this little darling home.
Even his fierce wife would not be able to get angry with the adorable little one!
The carriage had the seal of Prince Kang’s Mansion, easily passing through the palace gates without the Imperial Guards stopping it.
As they entered the bustling street.
Bai Zhi’er leaned against the window, looking outside.
A heartwarming scene of people’s lives.
Freshly steamed buns, children playing and chasing, and a snowman piled by the street unbeknownst when.
Soon, the carriage turned and entered a bustling yet quiet neighborhood.
Before long, the plaque of Prince Kang’s Mansion gradually came into view.
As soon as the carriage stopped and before they even had time to alight.
The gatekeeper shouted, "Princess Consort, the Prince’s carriage has returned!"
Immediately, there was a barrage of curses, "That wanton scoundrel, he still knows to come back, I thought he’d crawl back from wherever!"
The Princess Consort Kang, holding a kitchen knife, rushed out of the mansion angrily with her maids.
She just rolled up her sleeves, ready to take action.
When she heard Prince Kang calling anxiously, "Madam, don’t be hasty, look what I’ve brought back for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
A small white figure was handed out from the curtain, carried by him.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long eyelashes, her eyes bright and shiny, round and black.
A round, white little face, quite charming and cute.
After meeting eyes with the Princess Consort Kang for a moment, the little one spoke in a tender voice, "Third Auntie, hug me~"
"Clang" went the kitchen knife in the Princess Consort Kang’s hand, dropping to the ground.
