Zi Ling, meanwhile, knelt on the spot with her fists clenched tightly and her cheeks burning.
Damn Ninth Princess! I, Zi Ling, will remember this!
Once the Fourth Prince ascends the throne, I will make you regret the humiliation you have inflicted on me today!
Soon, Yan Fei caught several fireflies for Mu Yunge.
Mu Yunge watched them excitedly for a while before saying, “Alright, Xiao Xi, release them all. Mother doesn’t allow keeping insects.”
Hearing this, Yan Fei nodded and released all the fireflies.
After watching the fireflies fly into the flower bushes, Mu Yunge yawned and said to Yan Fei, “Xiao Xi, I’m sleepy.”
“This servant will carry the Ninth Princess back to rest immediately.” Yan Fei said.
After saying that, he bent down again.
Mu Yunge climbed on his back and nestled against him, her eyes crinkling with joy.
Zi Ling only stood up stiffly after Mu Yunge and the others left. As for the gauze in her hand, she threw it into the lake in the Imperial Garden as she passed by.
Half a month later, Mu Yunge discovered that Zhou Hao’s love point for Zi Ling had reached 60.
A nine-year-old child from an ordinary family might not understand love and affection, but people in the palace are always precocious. Therefore, Mu Yunge wasn’t sure whether Zhou Hao’s feelings for Zi Ling stemmed from genuine liking.
However, Mu Yunge wasn’t worried.
If Zi Ling wanted to increase Zhou Hao’s favor, Mu Yunge would do the same!
She wanted to see whether she, his younger sister, or Zi Ling, a mere palace maid, was more favored by Zhou Hao!
Knowing that tomorrow was the princes’ monthly holiday, Mu Yunge said to the Empress the next morning, “Mother, I want to go play with Brother Hao today!”
Hearing this, the Empress smiled gently, “Alright, remember to come back early. Have lunch with your Crown Prince Brother.”
Mu Yunge immediately nodded with a smile, then had two palace maids pack some snacks for her to take with her.
…
“Xiao Xi, come on, let’s go play with Brother Hao.”
Mu Yunge naturally reached out her hand to Yan Fei.
Yan Fei immediately took her hand and led her toward Zhou Hao’s palace.
It was a holiday, but Zhou Hao studied diligently as usual.
He had no maternal clan, so no one found tutors or teachers to guide him after school; he had to rely entirely on his own efforts.
At this moment, a eunuch beside him suddenly entered and said, “Fourth Prince, Sister Zi Ling has arrived.”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao nodded, then put down his pen and left the study.
In just over a month, Zhou Hao’s thin body had become much healthier thanks to the ample nutrition he received. Seeing his fuller face, Zi Ling seemed to see the majestic and heroic emperor he would become a decade or so later. Her heart tightened slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
She must become the emperor’s woman!
She must sit on that throne and rule the world!
Thinking this, Zi Ling stepped forward and smiled at Zhou Hao, “Fourth Prince, knowing that you are on holiday today, I specially made some food for you.”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao smiled slightly at her: “Thank you, Zi Ling.”
Just then, a eunuch’s shrill voice came from outside, “The Ninth Princess has arrived!”
Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, but soon, a look of joy involuntarily appeared on his face.
Did the Ninth Princess come over to play with him?
