Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(176) Having an Elder in The Family is like having a Baby

In the future, she won't play with him anymore!

Humph!

Xiao Xu watched this scene, don't know why he just wanted to laugh.

A whole family's joyous and harmonious appearance with regards to him was really very rare.

"Big Block of Ice, I prepared some pastries that aren't sweet. Originally, I wanted you to use it to pass the time on the road, but now I'm afraid you can only drink tea accompanied by empty air!" Chu Qing-Yan looked at Gu Rong whose hands held bags, arms carrying bags and the sacks on his shoulder, she couldn't help but turn her head to sigh and say this to him.

Xiao Xu, hearing this, laughed in spite of himself and rubbed her head. "No matter."

Chu Qing-Yan turned her head to cast a glance at the Retired Emperor happily drinking the soup, and she also couldn't help but laugh.

Having an elder in the family is like having a baby.

The group of people rested for a bit after they finished lunch, then prepared to set out again.

And just at this time, a black clothed person appeared in front of Xiao Xu.

"Master, the horse carriage dispatched according to your requirements has already left the city in another direction. Inside are all people that were disguised, it's unlikely people would notice the difference."

"En." Xiao Xu answered faintly.

Hearing this, Chu Qing-Yan mulled over this in her heart. Today when they exited the city gate, she discovered more than ten horse carriages following behind them. Afterwards, they all disappeared. She thought this must be Big Block of Ice's smokescreen. No one knows what will happen on this journey. Best to do everything very carefully!

Only her heart became even more uneasy. From the moment she exited the city gates, in her subconscious there was a voice telling her of danger!

She closed her eyes, since they have already left the city, then just let nature take its course!

At her side is a very strong backer, she's not afraid!

At this time, Xiao Xu had already entered the horse carriage. Seeing the little fellow with her brows wrinkled into a bundle, he couldn't help but ask. "Are you still mad that grandpa Emperor took away all your pastries?"

Hearing this, Chu Qing-Yan snapped out of it, and smiled slyly. "Do I look like such a stingy person? Besides, after a few days when we arrive at Jiang Nan, if we want any kind of delicious food we'll just buy, buy, buy. At that time, if grandpa Emperor couldn't finish eating the pastries in his carriage, then I won't allow him to eat the new pastries we will buy! Wasting food is very shameful oh!"

Xiao Xu shook his head. "Yas, you aren't a bit stingy!"

Chu Qing-Yan, who had eaten and drunk her full lazily leaned against the carriage wall. Hearing Big Block of Ice making fun of her, she shrugged. It was not like she wanted to get into a fight with the Retired Emperor, she only felt he had concealed too many secrets related to her. Maybe following this, they will encounter countless suffering, it was just too excessive!

But everything was just for fun. The Retired Emperor was like an old urchin, she liked to play together with him!

And just at this moment, Gu Rong's voice came from outside the horse carriage. "Little consort, the Retired Emperor invites you to sample the pastries together."

Chu Qing-Yan, somewhat surprised, lifted up her eyes. And at this time, the pastries had already been passed into the carriage.

After Chu Qing-Yan accepted it, she inspected it from top to bottom to check if it had any problems. In the end she confirmed there was no problem, so she picked up a jade plum cake and placed it in her mouth, and somewhat puzzled, asked the person in front of her. "This action by grandpa emperor seems to be a bit strange."

Did he suddenly discover a conscience?

But it didn't seem even a bit possible ah. He regarded pastries like his life's blood, as if his life depended on it. Just now he was wild with joy. He was remarkably like the ancient version of Eugénie Grandet (1).

Xiao Xu hit the nail on the head to solve the mystery. "Grandpa emperor returned to his senses. He felt you may have a move after this, so he first offered the pastries in surrender, hoping that following this, you would give him lenient treatment."

Damn!

Chu Qing-Yan couldn't swallow the pastry in her mouth. She took a glance at the three pieces of pastries on the plate, counting the one in her mouth it was a total of four thumb sized jade plum cakes. And this was difficult for grandpa emperor to send out?

This wasn't the way to bribe people ah!

"Do you think there is still time if I return these pastries right now?"

"Already too late."

Boo hoo——

Chu Qing-Yan felt she was struck again with a mental blow. She needed to be comforted!

Seeing the little fellow drilling into his arms, Xiao Xu gently patted her head. He thought about it, maybe grandpa emperor's idea of traveling together with them wasn't so bad. At least this can slowly temper this little fellow's IQ!

As a result, the normally over protective His Highness Prince Ying decided that from now on, he would not interfere with the little fellow's mental fight with grandpa emperor!

If Chu Qing-Yan knew of Xiao Xu's thoughts right now, maybe she would spit out blood!

To fight with the Retired emperor to increase her IQ?

And he would look on without lifting a finger?

How could he be so heartless, okay?

As a result, the journey passed with such buffoonery.

While Chu Qing-Yan and the others welcomed their first night after leaving the capital,

the nightfall in Prince Ying manor welcomed a group of mysterious people.
