Noticing Zhou Hao’s cold gaze, Yan Fei glanced at him with neither servility nor arrogance, then suppressed his inner joy and steadily led Mu Yunge out, hand in hand.
To be honest, for the past month, this little dumpling had not allowed any other eunuchs to approach or touch her, except for him.
This feeling of relying solely on him seemed rather pleasant?
However, Yan Fei’s pleasant mood only lasted until they reached the entrance of Weiyang Palace.
Seeing the Crown Prince approaching, Yan Fei released Mu Yunge’s hand and lowered his head slightly.
Although he was a eunuch, he wasn’t a dog. He couldn’t let this little girl’s temporary dependence on him make him arrogant and think that she treated him differently!
With a quick bend of his knees, Yan Fei, like the other palace servants, knelt on the ground.
“This servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
Crown Prince Zhou Ti didn’t even glance at the kneeling eunuchs and maids. He stepped forward, a barely suppressed excitement on his face, and began to pinch Mu Yunge’s cheek.
“Xiao Jiu’er, what are you doing looking at Zhou Hao? You’ve gotten so fat! Let Brother pinch your cheek!”
Normally, in front of the other princes, he had to maintain his composed image as a crown prince and couldn’t pinch Xiao Jiu’er’s cheek like before. But now, in the Empress’s palace, it was different.
Having said that, Zhou Ti’s hands itched to pinch Mu Yunge’s cheek.
Seeing this, Mu Yunge immediately dodged while shouting toward the palace, “Mother, Crown Prince Brother is bullying me! He’s going to pinch my cheek! And he says I’m fat!”
With that, Mu Yunge ran quickly toward the main hall, complaining as she ran.
Hearing Mu Yunge’s words, the Empress was both amused and exasperated, while the Crown Prince awkwardly withdrew his hand and angrily said to Yan Fei and the others, “What are you all still kneeling for?! Get up now!”
Hmph! He didn’t even get to pinch Xiao Jiu’er’s cheeks!
He’s not happy!
Before, Xiao Jiu’er was someone he could pinch and squeeze however he wanted!
At the table, Mu Yunge again capriciously ordered Yan Fei to serve her this and that, making the Empress shake her head with a helpless smile.
At this moment, Zhou Ti finally noticed Yan Fei, “Mother, is this little eunuch new?”
Hearing this, the Empress smiled and nodded, “Isn’t this the little eunuch your sister personally chose? Since he arrived, Xiao Jiu’er has been eating much more.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ti immediately replied, “No wonder her face has gotten even fatter lately.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunge immediately looked at Zhou Ti with a disgruntled accusation and then looked at the Empress.
“Mother, if Crown Prince Brother says I’m fat again, I won’t eat anymore! Humph!” Mu Yunge pouted.
Just then, a warm, damp handkerchief landed on her lips, wiping away the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
The Empress was pleased with Yan Fei’s thoughtfulness and understanding, then smiled and said, “Alright, your Crown Prince Brother was just joking. Xiao Jiu’er is beautiful no matter what, don’t you think, Ti’er?”
The Crown Prince immediately nodded: “Of course! My sister is the cutest in the world!”
Mu Yunge was finally satisfied.
Hmph, this body of hers was inherently super, invincible, and irresistibly cute!
…
Meanwhile, inside the Fourth Prince’s palace—
When Zi Ling heard that Mu Yunge was going to distribute her pastries to the servants, her chest heaved with anger, but she restrained herself.
After Mu Yunge left, she forced a smile at Zhou Hao with a somber expression, saying, “Fourth Prince, Zi Ling has other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb your studies any longer. I’ll bring you more pastries next time.”
