Xiao Yu's grip on Xiao Jingjing's hand tightened slightly.

Upon entering the Imperial Study, Xiao Jingjing secretly looked up at what was in front of her.

Wow, it's huge! And there are so many books!

Why is everything yellow?

Hearing Xiao Jingjing's thoughts, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh.

I just asked Xiao Jingjing in the carriage if she remembered the etiquette her nanny taught her for entering the palace.

Jingjing's younger sister even told herself, "Don't peek, it's best to look at the ground. You have to kneel on the ground when you first meet them."

Zhou Rui knelt down first: "Your Majesty, I greet you. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

Xiao Jingjing also knelt down beside Xiao Yu.

"Your subject Xiao Yu greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."

"Qinghe greets Your Majesty."

Finally, Xiao Jingjing added, "May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace!"

Behind the imperial desk, Emperor Gao Qian of the Great Sheng Dynasty sat looking at Xiao Jingjing kneeling in front of him.

A sweet, childlike voice is so endearing.

Judging from her appearance, Yu Xue is adorable, no wonder Cheng Yan said that this daughter is very pleasing.

Gao Qian waved his hand: "Get up, everyone."

"Yes."

After Xiao Jingjing got up, she looked up and saw Gao Qian.

Wow, that's fierce...

[Huh? His luck is purple! Such a rich purple!]

[The taste does indeed resemble His Highness the Crown Prince's!]

However, it seems His Highness the Crown Prince's aura is more refreshing?

[No, it seems even colder?]

When Gao Qian saw that there was no fear in Xiao Jingjing's big eyes, but rather a lively and mischievous look, he suddenly smiled.

"Your name is Xiao Qinghe?"

When her full name was suddenly mentioned, Xiao Jingjing paused for a moment, then nodded blankly, "Yes, I am Xiao Qinghe."

Gao Qian stood up, walked around the imperial desk, and stood in front of Xiao Jingjing: "Last time I heard the Crown Prince say that you have a nickname, Jingjing, so I will call you Jingjing, what do you think?"

Little Jingjing, confused, said, "Sure!"

How strange! Aren't names just for people to call out to them?

[Grandmother, Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Little Brother, Sister Chan'er, they all call her Jingjing!]

A hint of a smile flashed in Xiao Chengyan's eyes.

Jingjing is indeed...

They are exceptionally warm and genuine.

"Your father said the three of you ate crispy cakes together outside today?"

Xiao Jingjing nodded: "Yes! The new cherry flavor at Sushan store today is delicious! I even asked Wangchun to buy some to take home for Mother."

Upon hearing about cherry-flavored crispy mountain, Gao Qian's appetite was whetted: "Oh? Cherry-flavored crispy mountain? You haven't tried this before either."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Jingjing: "Jingjing, I plan to have you have lunch in the palace today. I'm afraid this Sushan will not be able to wait until you return to the Prince's Mansion before I give it to your mother."

"Huh? We can't wait any longer?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingjing felt a little discouraged.

o (╥﹏╥) o

"Since your mother can't have any, how about I have these cherry-flavored pastries instead?"

Xiao Chengyan frowned: "Your Majesty, how can we casually eat food from outside?"

Gao Qian glanced at him and said in a booming voice, "If your princess can eat, why can't I?"

"Hmph! When your father was alive, he would definitely have brought these cherry blossom cakes back to the palace for me to try as soon as they came out."

"Unlike you, you wouldn't even dare to give me the food that your own queen could eat."

"Fusheng, go and bring that mountain of butter to me!"

Xiao Chengyan silently shut his mouth.

The relationship between his father and His Majesty was indeed a rare and precious bond.

Two grown men, in their middle age, can still sit together on the wall, drinking and playing drinking games.

But when Xiao Jingjing saw the crispy mountain that was served, she pouted.

How could you steal food from me!

Jingjing hasn't agreed yet...

【Hmph! If you eat Jingjing's things, Jingjing won't remove your bad luck! Hmph [○・`Д´・○]】

Zhou Rui couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

My little sister is so innocent, she just speaks without thinking!

As Gao Qian sat down and picked up a spoon, he noticed that Xiao Jingjing looked unhappy and burst into laughter.

"Look at me, I completely forgot to discuss this with Jingjing. Jingjing, I ate your dessert today. How about I give you a whole set of ruby ​​jewelry later?"

Gao Qian was amused by Xiao Jingjing's pitiful little face, and his mood improved greatly.

"Jingjing, this complete set of jewelry includes hairpins, hair ornaments, hair clips, rings, bracelets, beaded hair ornaments, necklaces, and hair crowns."

"how?"

Little Jingjing was somewhat tempted; she didn't actually have a ruby ​​bracelet yet.

Xiao Chengyan chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty, is this for buying the Crispy Mountain? Or a gift for our meeting?"

Gao Qian rolled his eyes: "You brat, you didn't learn from your father to buy me food, but you've perfectly copied his way of asking for favors from me!"

Xiao Chengyan's eyes were clear, and he bowed with his hands clasped, saying, "I have also been influenced by what I have seen and heard."

Gao Qian was speechless.

He didn't really see me when we were drinking and playing drinking games, but when I was asking for favors, that brat was there eight out of ten times.

The phrase "early exposure to all things" is truly accurate...

"Alright, alright. Fusheng, convey my decree: Xiao Qinghe, daughter of Prince Jing, is virtuous, gentle, intelligent, and quick-witted. She shall be granted the title of Princess Jianing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu pulled Xiao Jingjing down to kneel with him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

[Princess, what about me?]

[Princess, what is it? Will Jingjing have something delicious to eat?]

As expected of Jingjing, she's still thinking about food at this moment.

Little sister, as a princess, you receive a stipend.

This salary is enough for you to buy lots of crabs, shrimp, candied hawthorns, pastries, and crispy cakes.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Zhou Rui's eyes.

The Prince Jing's mansion had long planned to acquire the title of Princess.

However, it is against etiquette and law to request the title of Princess when the Emperor has not summoned you.

But the title of Princess that His Majesty proposed today is quite different.

Currently, the only princesses in the capital besides the eldest prince's daughter, the Prince Zhuang's daughter, the Duke of Ning's twin daughters, and her aunt Xiao Mingzhu are the only other princesses in the capital.

My younger sister is a princess, a title that many daughters of noble families would rather die than attain.

Even Prince Su's daughter has not yet been granted the title of Princess.

Seeing that her two older brothers seemed to be in good spirits, Xiao Jingjing felt much better.

"Father, His Majesty ate this crispy mountain. Then, let Qing Shi go and buy some to send to Mother."

"Jingjing said yesterday that if she gets to eat the new cherry-flavored pastry, she will definitely bring some for Mother. She can't bring some for Second Brother, but she must send some to Mother."

Xiao Chengyan gently touched her hair: "Alright, I'll have Qing Shi go back and deliver Su Shan first."

After finishing the crispy mountain, Gao Qian was in a much better mood.

"Young Rui, I heard you've been feeling much better over the past month?"

"I remember there was also a boy named Gu Feng with immense strength? Why isn't he here?"

Little Jingjing pouted.

They've been in here for ages, how come it took them so long to realize Second Brother wasn't here!

"Second brother is preparing for tomorrow's martial arts tournament! We'll be able to see it tomorrow!"
