CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 495: ZHI BAO WON’T SAY! BROTHER IS NAUGHTY!

Su Yinling laughed and replied, "It’s getting better very quickly, the imperial physicians in the palace are very diligent, and the medicines they prescribe are excellent."

Bai Zhi’er blinked her pearl-like black eyes, "So once you’re cured, you’ll leave?"

Su Yinling’s smile stiffened.

She chuckled awkwardly, "Zhi’er, don’t you like me keeping you company to play?"

The little one, with rosy cheeks, exuded innocence and confusion, "But playing with me and Grandpa Su treating illness, aren’t they two different things!"

Su Yinling was momentarily speechless and could not argue back.

She was too embarrassed to directly ask Bai Zhi’er if she would like her to stay.

Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly, "Another day, Aunt Yinling can take me to visit Grandpa Su!"

Su Yinling’s face lit up, "That would be great. My father has mentioned Zhi’er many times. Last time, due to my falling into the water, I only hurriedly met you once."

"When I have time, I’ll take Zhi’er to Xinyu Palace to play for a while."

The next day.

Bai Zhi’er placed Tang yuan on the ground in the courtyard, watching the little panda crawl around, filled with curiosity about its surroundings.

The sky was bright, kissing the little one’s face into a pink gloss.

Bai Zhi’er pouted, "Why hasn’t Brother Ce come back yet? Tang yuan can even crawl now."

Qingmei, drying fruits nearby, chuckled at this.

"I heard that this time the Marquis is pursuing some rather fierce bandits; it may be tricky, but he should return in a few days, Princess, don’t worry."

At that moment, a familiar call echoed from the courtyard entrance —

"Little Ball~"

Bai Zhi’er looked up to see the Eldest Heir, Bai Xuanmo, wearing eye-catching red clothes, his face fair and handsome as jade, walking in with a light smile.

"Brother!" The little one ran over, and Bai Xuanmo scooped her up.

Bai Xuanmo raised an eyebrow, amusement dancing in his narrow eyes, "Not bad today, you actually know to let Brother hold you voluntarily."

Bai Zhi’er looked him up and down, her voice soft and sweet, "Didn’t Brother bring any food?"

Speaking of which, she began to struggle to escape from his arms.

Bai Xuanmo immediately held the little one tightly.

He couldn’t help but laugh, "You heartless Little Ball, you won’t let me hold you because I didn’t bring food? Big Brother is here today because I heard you raised a bamboo bear, and we’re going out to chop bamboo for it to eat."

After speaking, Bai Xuanmo glanced down, seeing Tang yuan rolling on the ground, its belly exposed to the sun.

Bai Xuanmo looked at the round creature hesitantly, asking, "Is this a pig or a bear?"

Bai Zhi’er puffed her pink cheeks in anger, "Tang yuan is a bear meow! It’s just a little chubby, not a piglet!"

Bai Xuanmo smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Never mind, whatever it is, we’ll still take it out of the palace."

He bent down, scooping up Tang yuan, and walked out.

Qingmei chased him for a few steps, "Hey! Young Master, the Princess hasn’t had lunch yet."

Bai Xuanmo didn’t even turn his head, "With me here, how could little Sister go hungry? If Imperial Uncle asks, just say I took her away; I’ll definitely bring her back by afternoon."

The little one lay on her brother’s shoulder, waving her small hand at Qingmei.

Walking along the palace road.

Bai Xuanmo smiled freely, "Big brother went to the capital on business recently, haven’t seen you for several days, do you miss big brother?"

Bai Zhi’er scratched her pinkish-cheeked face with her little hand.

"Hmm... Zhi’er has been a bit busy, can I start missing you now, I didn’t have time before!"

Bai Xuanmo was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

"With me standing right in front of you, how could you replenish your longing now? Little Ball, you’re not sincere. How about this, you say ’I miss big brother,’ and I’ll forgive you."

Bai Zhi’er puffed her pink cheeks, "Zhi Bao won’t say it! Brother is naughty!"
