Zhi’er sprinted to the study with familiarity.
"Uncle Li Zi!" she called softly and sweetly.
Prince Qing had already learned of the little one’s arrival at the residence.
So, the mont Bai Zhi’er stepped into the study, he was already sitting in the chair with a book, wearing a mask.
"Zhi’er." Prince Qing smiled, "I’m sorry. I couldn’t buy you snacks today because..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zhi’er had already noticed the slight swelling on his cheek that the mask couldn’t hide.
The little girl was surprised, "Uncle Li Zi, did you catch fire too?"
Prince Qing nodded helplessly, "Yes, it seems you’re like , so we truly share the sa plight."
Bai Zhi’er sat beside him.
The little girl said softly, "From now on, we can’t eat so many sweets."
Prince Qing nodded in agreent.
Then, the uncle and niece simultaneously made a "hiss hiss" sound.
Bai Zhi’er paused and then smiled sweetly, "But, this ti I brought you different sweets."
She opened the wooden box, which was filled with exquisitely crafted round dicine candies.
With her swollen cheeks, it was difficult for the little girl to speak, so she kept her words brief.
"Uncle Imperial Doctor made them, very sweet, Uncle eat."
Bai Zhi’er pushed it towards him.
The box contained over a dozen pieces, and she shared them all with Prince Qing.
This deeply moved Prince Qing.
Children express affection simply, being willing to share their favorite things with you ans they like you.
Prince Qing couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
Though he hadn’t been around his little niece as she grew up, it’s not too late for them to get along happily now!
"Thank you, Zhi’er." Prince Qing imdiately put a piece in his mouth.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly.
When she returned to the palace and saw these candies, she sent them over to Uncle Li Zi right away.
Suddenly, the little girl asked, "Uncle, have you seen my little uncle?"
Prince Qing’s smile faltered.
He looked at Bai Zhi’er, her chubby face and bright eyes.
Despite her puffed cheeks, making her look pitiful, her face was filled with anticipation.
Prince Qing almost forgot, she ca nearly every day just to et with her little uncle.
Thinking of this, Prince Qing felt quite ashad.
The little one was eager to et him, but he...
"I’ve seen him twice, but the Prince is very busy. Each ti, he just said a few hurried words and left again." He could only explain like this.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long lashes, her moist, black eyes showing so concern.
"Oh, little uncle is so busy every day."
Prince Qing nodded gently.
Then Bai Zhi’er continued, "Third Uncle says he doesn’t dare co ho because he attracts many girls outside but doesn’t take responsibility, fearing soone might co to the house, so he never shows up."
Prince Qing nearly jumped up at the words.
"He’s talking nonsense!"
With such a sudden move, it pulled at the swollen gums.
Prince Qing hissed in pain, taking breaths.
Bai Zhi’er widened her eyes in surprise, "You also think Third Uncle is wrong?"
Prince Qing cleared his throat, "Of course, the Prince is quite decent. The so-called romantic debts are just unfounded rumors."
Bai Zhi’er nodded emphatically, letting out a small snort.
"That’s right, I don’t think little uncle has that capability either."
Prince Qing raised his hand to his brow, wanting to retort, but due to his status, he could only acquiesce.
However, he truly didn’t expect that Third Brother, being unfaithful himself, would actually spread that he’s a playboy too!
He must find a chance to talk to him!
