Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei was a guest in the palace, so in order to let Shu Yutong stay with her, she needed the approval of the Empress, who was the Mistress of the harem.
Thinking about this, she turned to Huangfu Lingyao and said, “Lingyao, you play with Tongtong for a while. I’ll go to the main palace to see the Empress.”
“Okay.” Huangfu Lingyao glanced at Shu Yutong and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Little Water Bucket!”
“I’m not a little water bucket!” After spending some time together and seeing that Huangfu Lingyao was no longer fierce, Shu Yutong gained some courage because Liu Shimei had said they were all family.
Huangfu Lingyao used his right hand wrapped in bandages to gently poke her nose and said, “Then are you a bath bucket? Doesn’t sound good, huh? Or a fish bucket… better not, there was a bowl used for fish before, it was so pitiful!”
The bowl used for fish, also known as fish ball?, was none other than Yu Wanqing!
Liu Shimei found it amusing and said, “Lingyao, you really need to change your habit of giving people nicknames.”
“Why should I change?” Huangfu Lingyao confidently replied, “It’s interesting! Others give me nicknames, calling me Silly Second Prince, so why can’t I give nicknames? I don’t mind if people call me silly!”
Liu Shimei,”…”
She helplessly reached out and patted his head, saying, “Let’s not care about what others say, as long as we’re happy.”
The silly dog obediently responded, “Okay.”
With that said, Liu Shimei was about to go to the Empress’s place.
Although Shu Yutong also wanted to go, since her master had told her to stay, she didn’t dare to disobey orders and could only stay behind.
In the sleeping chamber, only a pair remained, staring at each other.
After a moment, both turned their heads away, snorting in unison. “Hmph!”
They were just alike!
Seeing her att.i.tude, Huangfu Lingyao, who had initially decided to tolerate the little brat, couldn’t take it anymore. He said, “Little troublemaker, who are you snorting at? Huh?”
Shu Yutong glanced at him, her small face tense. “Your Highness, now that my master is gone, your true colors are showing, aren’t they?”
Huangfu Lingyao observed her for a while, thinking: Could this girl have figured something out?
Continuing the argument deliberately, he said, “Oh, now that Wife is gone, your pitiful child act has disappeared too? What’s this, do you have a grudge against me?”
Shu Yutong glared at him. “You’re two-faced!”
Huangfu Lingyao was slightly surprised, but he didn’t back down. “You act differently in front of others and behind their backs!”
He thought, ‘This little girl is quite something; she’s only six years old, but she can act tough!’
However, the crucial question remained: Had she seen through his act?
Shu Yutong rolled her eyes. “I’ll respect my master and follow her orders!”
“I also listen to Wife.” Huangfu Lingyao retorted and then asked, “But Little Water Bucket, do you dare to treat me like this in front of Wife?”
Shu Yutong glanced at him. “Do you dare to treat me like this in front of Master?”
Huangfu Lingyao,”…”
Well, it seemed he couldn’t get along with this child, right?
This little girl was quite clever; he almost let her deceive him!
Fortunately, they were all on the same side. He was the big boss in the realm of deception, and she couldn’t outwit him!
Shu Yutong smiled. The little girl looked adorable and innocent when she smiled, revealing the new front tooth that had just grown in. “Your Highness, Master said we’re all family; why don’t we coexist peacefully?”
“Why should I coexist peacefully with you?” Huangfu Lingyao refused outright.
His wife was his; no matter how close the disciple was, she would eventually marry someone else. He didn’t care!
Shu Yutong, however, said, “If you refuse, I’ll pester Master to let me sleep with her!”
Huangfu Lingyao widened his eyes!
