Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, Imperial Physician Yang couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
"Princess! Rabbits are herbivores; they love carrots best, not at!"
Hearing this, Xia Ou, who was four, couldn’t help but cock her head and argue with Imperial Physician Yang.
"That’s not true! My Xiaobai eats at. If you don’t believe it, ask Pretty Sister; she can testify."
Xiaosuisui gestured towards Xie Pan’Er.
Imperial Physician Yang followed her gaze to Xie Pan’Er, who nodded slightly and said, "You heard correctly. This rabbit eats at!"
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Yang was quite surprised and couldn’t help but take a few steps forward to examine Xiaobai closely.
"A rabbit that eats at... Could it be that it’s not actually a rabbit?"
"Not a rabbit? How could that be? Look at it; its form and ears all resemble a rabbit!" Xie Pan’Er was very perplexed, casting a puzzled look at Xiaobai.
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Yang chuckled, shook his head, and said, "In this world, even humans wear disguises, let alone other creatures."
After saying this, Imperial Physician Yang left with his dicine box.
Xiaosuisui didn’t understand and watched Imperial Physician Yang’s retreating figure thoughtfully. After a while, she finally asked Xie Pan’Er, "What did he an? Pretty Sister, do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Pan’Er beckoned her over.
"Bring Xiaobai over and let have a closer look."
Xiaosuisui got up and reached out to pick up Xiaobai, but Xiaobai was one step ahead, hopped off the table, and ran away.
"Xiaobai, why are you running? Where are you going?"
Xiaosuisui hurriedly chased after him.
Seeing this, Xie Pan’Er quickly stood up and followed, but a SCREECH! echoed from the distance.
Xie Pan’Er was startled and imdiately looked up at the sky.
「anwhile, in the Main Hall of Cining Palace」
The Empress Dowager was discussing Xiaosuisui with the young Emperor.
"So, it seems our little darling is the Lucky Star of our Great Han? If so, why are you and Ji Youyuan hiding this from the National Master? Do you realize how much she could learn if she beca his disciple?"
The young Emperor shook his head. "As I’ve said before, Mother, so people want Suisui dead, and in a very cruel way. The mastermind hasn’t been found yet, and the incident with Nanjiang’s Altar was suspicious. Therefore, it’s even more crucial that Xiaosuisui’s identity as the Lucky Star remains a secret. Fortunately, the National Master believes he has found Li Yanyan and is making a grand display of taking her as his disciple. Ji Youyuan and I both feel this is a good turn of events, so we’ve decided to let him continue in his error."
The Empress Dowager sighed. "That poor child. She truly should have been the National Master’s disciple."
The young Emperor didn’t respond. What’s so great about being the National Master’s disciple? With the skills of the Ji Family brothers, even if this little girl learns just a fraction from any of them, it would be far superior to anything the National Master could teach. Besides, his darling girl has already awakened her Heavenly Eye; why would she need the National Master’s guidance?
As the Emperor thought this, he then rembered that his beloved daughter could not kneel.
He rubbed his temples, sighed, and then said, "Mother! There’s sothing else I must tell you. Please don’t be surprised or alard when you hear it!"
The Empress Dowager looked at the young Emperor. He has long since mastered a calm deanor. However, for him to speak like this now ans the matter is clearly extrely serious. I must be exceptionally cautious when I hear it!
"What is it?"
The Emperor sighed again. "From now on, whenever you summon Suisui to the Palace to keep you company, or take her to the Ancestral Temple, you must never make her bow or kneel again."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager couldn’t help but frown and instinctively asked, "Emperor, what do you an by this?"
