An Lianxi's eyes widened even more after he hiccupped, and he felt a little at a loss. After reacting, he quickly stretched out his short hand to cover his mouth.
But his fingers and palms were all stained with pastry crumbs, and his nose was filled with the sweet scent of pastry. An Lianxi paused, his eyelashes trembling, then he quietly stuck out his tongue and began to consciously and covertly lick the remains of the cake on his hand.
This scene completely fell into Xue Shine's eyes. He was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but smile, but he didn't laugh anymore, so as not to disturb the other party again.
How could it be... so cute.
After An Lianxi licked all the pastry crumbs off his hands, he secretly glanced across. Xue Shine, who was looking at him, suddenly looked away. Seeing that he was no longer looking at her, An Lianxi slowly put down his hand, slid down from the chair, and swayed.
Xue Shiye's knuckles hanging by his side were slightly curled, and he wanted to go up and help him. When he saw that he was standing firm, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After he relaxed, he felt that he was too nervous.
The next moment, the little dumpling opposite him pretended to be a young adult and bowed his hands to him solemnly, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
The soft voice floated over word by word. Xue Shiye tilted his head slightly and looked at the way he saluted, which was a little funny, "Well, get up."
An Lianxi breathed a sigh of relief and puffed up his face. The taste of cakes from before was still in his mouth. He lowered his eyes as he reminisced, remembering not to look directly at the other person.
Seeing that the other party never looked at him, Xue Shinye frowned and walked closer.
An Lianxi moved his steps carefully.
Xue Shiye: "Why don't you look at me?"
Did he appear too suddenly and scare people again?
The frightened little dumpling looked pitiful and cute. Xue Shiye thought about it and unconsciously turned into "me" when he called himself.
An Lianxi's little ears twitched, he raised his face in confusion and said "ah", just in time to meet Xue Shiye's eyes.
As Xiaotuanzi raised his head, the two red balls on the front of his chest also swayed slightly. Xue Shiye's eyes followed the swinging arc of the balls, and he couldn't help but twist his fingertips.
"Afraid?" Xue Shiye said softly.
An Lianxi scratched his face with his fingers, looked at Xue Shiye with sincere and innocent eyes, and asked him: "What are you afraid of?"
Xue Shiye's eyebrows moved slightly.
Not afraid of him...
Xue Shinye smiled and glanced at the pile of pastries on the table that had been finished, "Do you want more?"
An Lianxi also turned his head, his eyes salivating.
The pastries in the palace are so delicious... He didn't eat much for lunch and was hungry.
Thinking like this, he raised his eyes, but he didn't expect Xue Shiye was still looking at him, his eyelashes trembling, "I want it."
After saying that, An Lianxi lowered his head and picked two small balls with his fingertips, feeling a little at a loss.
Xue Shiye stared at Xiaotuanzi's hair for a few seconds and felt cute for no reason.
He endured it, and finally said in a low voice: "Can I touch you?"
Xue Shiye started to hold his breath after asking. This child seemed very timid. Compared to other princes and princesses in the palace, none of them dared to speak loudly. Could he also...
At the same time, An Lianxi raised his head and met Xue Shiye's eyes for a few seconds. He pursed his lower lip and slowly handed over the ball he was holding.
Xue Shiye, who was about to touch his head, paused, but when he saw the small ball brought to him, his heart softened.
Because the ball was on his clothes and the rope connected to it was not long, An Lianxi had to get closer and looked at Xue Shiye carefully, seeing his hand slowly pinching the ball. Jue raised the corners of his mouth.
It turns out that the prince also likes small balls.
People who like small balls are good people.
He is no longer afraid of the prince, An Lianxi thought silently.
The plush ball in his hand was soft and soft. Xue Shiye lowered his eyes and smiled in his heart. His eyes fell on An Lian Xi's chubby face, and he felt that it felt better there.
Just at this moment, someone from the palace brought pastries.
After the other party put the pastries away, Xue Shiye sent people away.
The aroma of the pastry penetrated his nose, and An Lianxi's eyes followed the pastry, and finally landed on the table, and his mouth moved.
The next moment, he was completely in the air. An Lianxi flapped twice subconsciously and kicked his short legs. After a moment, An Lianxi was carried and sat on a chair.
He stared blankly at the person who carried him to a chair, then twisted a piece of pastry and brought it to his lips.
Xue Shiye: "It's here now. Eat it."
An Lianxi's lips were touched by the cake, and he opened his mouth accordingly. Xue Shiye's stern eyebrows widened, "Is it delicious?"
"Okay, time." An Lianxi's mouth was full and his cheeks were bulging. He nodded and answered Xue Shiye's question vaguely.
He ate seriously, while Xue Shiye watched from the side and fed him a few times from time to time.
This was the first time Xue Shiye met such a cute child, so well-behaved.
As a prince, he had no peers with whom he could get along calmly. There was one who was slightly younger...his cousin, but he was too noisy and Xue Shiye had no patience to chat with him. slapstick.
Xue Shiye liked someone as quiet and well-behaved as An Lianxi, and couldn't help but be nice to him. Previously, it was based on the original intention of scaring the other person and needing to make amends, but now I feel that this child is really too lovable.
Soon, Queen Shen and Liu Yue came in.
Liu Yue was not worried that her son would collide with the prince, but she just felt uneasy about him alone. Empress Shen saw what she was thinking and took the initiative to come over so that she could see what was going on with her son today.
So after the two mothers entered the side hall, they saw the two children sitting at the table.
One is eating, the other... is feeding.
Liu Yue was surprised. She didn't expect that His Highness the Prince would feed Xiaoguai himself.
Queen Shen was even more surprised, and she felt as if she had met her son for the first time.
Is this her son? !
An Lianxi just lowered his head and took another bite of the pastry, just a small bite. Xue Shiye continued to hold up the piece of pastry he had bitten, waiting for him to continue eating.
As a last resort, he had to take another bite.
I can't eat anymore...
An Lianxi's eyes began to wander, and suddenly he caught a glimpse of the two people who came in. His eyes locked on Liu Yue's figure, and he slipped off the chair with a kick of his calves, almost falling.
The cake Xue Shiye was holding slipped from his fingertips, and he stood up to help it.
But An Lianxi quickly stabilized his figure, and then stumbled out under the gazes of several people in the hall.
An Lianxi hugged his mother's thigh.
Liu Yue picked him up and saw his aggrieved little face, "What's wrong, little darling?"
It was okay if she didn't ask, but when she asked, An Lian burst into tears.
At this time, Liu Yue was a little panicked and started to coax.
On the other side, Queen Shen also looked nervous. She also liked the young master of the prime minister's mansion very much. I saw that he was uncomfortable in the main hall before, so he was asked to come to the side hall. He also arranged for the palace servants to bring cakes to him without disturbing him.
Seeing him crying now, Queen Shen thought her son had bullied him. As soon as she turned her head, Xue Shiye looked even more panicked than Mrs. An.
Queen Shen pondered for a long time, and then decided to ask her son first, "Toki Ye, what's going on? Why is the little boy crying?"
Liu Yue had called Young Master An this way before, and Queen Shen thought it was a good idea, so she called him that way to show her kindness.
Xue Shiye shook his head and frowned so hard that he could pinch a fly to death.
Why did I cry suddenly...
It was obvious that I didn't even cry when I was scared by him before.
besides......
His name is Xiaoguai.
Queen Shen: "Weren't you with your brother just now? How could you not know?"
Liu Yue patted her son on the back and said, "Mother, it's okay. I think I miss my wife."
An Lianxi, who was crying sadly in his mother's arms, stopped crying and slowly, slowly raised his head and glanced at Xue Shiye.
At this time, Xue Shiye's eyes all fell on Xiaotuanzi in Liu Yue's arms. When he saw him, his eyes flashed.
My eyes are red from crying, so pitiful...
Xue Shinye lowered his eyes and wanted to hold the person over and coax him.
After all... maybe he really was the one who made me cry.
She should still be afraid of him.
Thinking of this, Xue Shi's ambition sank. However, after hearing a sob, the little milky voice that I had just heard sounded in my ears, jumping out word by word.
"No, it's not." An Lianxi hugged his mother's neck and said softly, "It's me, I'm thirsty... I want to drink water."
As he spoke, he hiccupped again.
As soon as these words came out, the other three fell silent for a moment.
Xue Shiye: "..."
he......
It seemed that just now he was just stuffing cakes for each other.
Liu Yue immediately smiled and said, "Okay, mother, go get you some water. Don't cry, little darling."
She cried when she wanted to drink water, and she cried so sadly that Queen Shen was amused. She took off the armor on her hand and handed it to the maid behind her. The maid took it and stepped back again.
Queen Shen ridiculed An Lian: "My dear, would you like to be hugged by your aunt?"
An Lianxi turned his head.
Liu Yue was shocked when she heard the title, but quickly understood.
Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty had been on the throne for many years, but he was still subject to many constraints in the court. Without the strong support of the Shen family, there would not be such peace.
But now Emperor Mingkang valued An Lin, promoted him one after another over the years, and trained him as a confidant. Liu Yue knew it, but she could also see that Empress Shen really liked Xiao Guai.
An Lianxi was hugged by Queen Shen.
He looked timid, with wet tears still on his face.
Liu Yue walked to the table and poured water. Xue Shiye watched his mother take the dumplings and hold them in her arms. His eyes couldn't help but stare at his mother's fingertips that stretched out to wipe away her tears.
Queen Shen wiped Xiaotuanzi's face with a handkerchief, and when she looked up, she saw her son looking at her with burning eyes.
She raised her eyebrows, half-smiling but not smiling, "Why is Shiye looking at my mother like this?"
An Lianxi also looked over.
Xue Shiye's lips tightened, as if he had something to say.
Queen Shen almost lost her composure and laughed out loud. After a while, she asked, "Do you want to hug your brother?"
Hearing this, Xue Shine's eyes suddenly lit up, "Is it okay?"
Queen Shen was about to nod, but found that her son's eyes were not looking at her, but on the little dumpling in her arms.
Queen Shen: "..."
In the end, Xue Shiye hugged An Lianxi as he wished.
An Lianxi raised his little hand and hugged Xue Shiye's neck, "Can you hold me?"
Xue Shinye laughed and didn't answer, but threw the person up. An Lianxi was so frightened that he shrank into his arms, and he was just about to speak.
I just heard Xue Shiye say something in a low voice.
"My dear, it smells so good."
