Zhi’er thought for a mont, and in a soft, sticky voice, said: "It must be the brightest one. If I get a chance, I’ll ask my mother for you, she’s familiar with everything in Heaven!"
Bai Wang was full of curiosity: "Did your mother beco a star too?"
The little guy scratched the tip of his nose, unsure how to explain.
Hmm, what exactly does Mother do?
She thought for a mont and said: "My mother is in charge of the stars."
All the Star Lords and Immortals are under her command.
So saying it this way must be right.
Bai Wang was instantly amazed, his eyes showing envy.
"Your mother is the Empress, right? So amazing!"
At that mont, Bai Wang rembered sothing: "Princess, let pick a peach for you to eat!"
"Behind the manor, there is a living peach tree that has borne a few fruits. I secretly tasted one, and it’s so sweet."
"But my mother won’t let pick them; she thinks it’s dangerous. But if it’s for Princess to eat, I’m not afraid of any danger!"
"I just ask the Princess for a favor. If you think the peach is sweet, could you please tell the Empress to look after my father?"
Even at five years old, Bai Wang’s little face showed so concern.
"Being a star must be tiring, coming out every night and only sleeping during the day."
Hearing about sweet peaches, Zhi’er imdiately smiled, her face soft and adorable: "Sure! Leave it to Zhi’er!"
The two little friends imdiately ran out of the manor.
Zhi’er watched as Bai Wang, nimble like a little monkey, directly scrambled up the big tree.
Bai Wang smiled at her and said: "Princess, wait for , I’ll be quick!"
"Okay!" The little one nodded earnestly.
With peaches to eat, she would certainly wait patiently!
At this mont, calls sounded from behind them—
"Bai Wang! Princess! Where are you?"
It was Aunt Qiao’s voice.
Zhi’er turned around and responded in a high-pitched voice: "Aunt Qiao, we’re here!"
A sound of hurried footsteps approached.
Bai Xuanmo appeared first, and upon seeing Zhi’er safe and sound, his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
Aunt Qiao, with the house servants, ran up, panting.
Bai Xuanmo quickly walked up to his sister: "You left the manor without saying a word, making Brother search so hard for you!"
Zhi’er gave a sweet smile, pointing with her little finger: "Brother, Bai Wang is picking a peach for to eat!"
Aunt Qiao was still in shock.
If the little princess got lost, it would be a capital offense.
She looked pale.
Raising her head, she saw her own son hugging the tree trunk.
She put her hands on her hips and scolded angrily: "Bai Wang! You little brat, how many tis have I told you not to climb trees? Co down right now, I’ll beat you!"
Bai Wang was holding onto the tree trunk just fine.
Hearing his mother’s roar, his hand shook, and he couldn’t hold on!
His body plumted down.
Aunt Qiao scread in fright: "Careful!"
Zhi’er secretly waved her little hand, and Bai Wang, who was about to fall onto a sharp, protruding branch, suddenly shifted sideways.
He landed directly into Aunt Qiao’s arms.
Aunt Qiao looked scared: "You little rascal, you’re going to scare your mother to death!"
Saying so, she put Bai Wang down and twisted his ear in frustration.
Bai Wang shouted "ouch" in pain.
Grimacing, he couldn’t help but smile: "Mom, don’t worry, I’m agile!"
With that, Bai Wang handed the two large, freshly picked peaches to Zhi’er.
"Princess, here, I checked these peaches; they’re ripe."
Zhi’er reached out her little hand to take them, and sweetly said: "Thank you."
Bai Wang scratched the back of his head: "You’re welco, but Your Highness, please don’t forget what I asked."
Zhi’er looked at the big pink peach, almost drooling.
She nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"
