Chapter 347: Willful Little Princess

Everyone presented gifts, giving full honor to the Qi Wang Fu, or rather, giving Sui Sui face.

The Princess Consort of Qi watched this scene, her heart somewhat eased.

These people all remembered the previous kindness.

It was not in vain for her Sui Sui to risk her life to save others.

The Princess Consort of Qi had no intention of letting go, holding Sui Sui in one hand and Feng Xuanrui in the other.

Feng Xuanrui was worried about Sui Sui, quickly released Mother Consort's hand, turned and took Sui Sui's hand.

The Princess Consort of Qi let him do as he wished, her expression growing even gentler.

People came in one after another, and the Princess Consort of Qi occasionally attended to social engagements.

When socializing, she naturally did not forget to introduce her own young lady of the commandery.

Her formal name still needed to be spoken; Sui Sui had grown accustomed to her formal name, or rather, she had memorized her formal name.

She had a formal name, a title, and many, many names.

There was also……

Much, much love.

Sui Sui was very content, obediently letting Mother Consort lead her as she met different people.

Among these people, some were warm and kind, some harbored scrutiny in their eyes, some were somewhat aloof, and some were overly enthusiastic.

No matter what, Sui Sui obediently addressed people.

Aunt Xiang said, the guests are all here; as the hostess, one must have dignity and be courteous.

As long as those people don't first show displeasure, one shouldn't openly display obvious likes and dislikes.

Although Sui Sui didn't quite understand either, she remembered Aunt Xiang's words, and the system also reminded her.

Although the system wanted to dote on the child, it also understood that indulging a child is like harming them.

Sui Sui still had a long time ahead, living in Jing Cheng, facing all these coming and going people.

Therefore, the things she needed to learn from childhood were destined to be many.

Fortunately, Sui Sui did not reject this, and the system felt much more at ease watching her.

Many children had come today; when the banquet was halfway through, the kids could hardly sit still, forming small groups to go out and play.

Seeing most of the children go out to have fun, the Princess Consort of Qi eventually let go, allowing Sui Sui to go out and play as well.

She could always protect this child, but Sui Sui also needed her own space and friends.

So, even if the Princess Consort of Qi was reluctant, she sometimes needed to let go.

Fortunately, with Feng Xuanrui and others watching, the Princess Consort of Qi could also feel more at ease.

Shen Hua Tang and Liu He Meng each took one of Sui Sui's hands and led her forward.

The Wangfu is large, with children playing everywhere.

After asking Sui Sui for her opinion, they went to find Ying Zhi.

Ying Zhi was at this moment accompanying Feng You Tan, while Feng You Tan……

was clinging to Lù Yǐnxiāo.

Under normal circumstances, Feng You Tan would never dare to cling to Lù Yǐnxiāo; she wouldn't even dare to glance more when standing before him.

But!!!

Feng You Tan heard that her second brother was ill! As for how he really is, we outsiders have no way of knowing.

So, Feng You Tan plucked up her courage to stop Lù Yǐnxiāo, trying to get from him some news about her second brother.

"Third Brother, please, just tell me how Second Brother really is—is his body still comfortable? Is his leg… still okay?"

"Third Brother, Third Brother, don't go!" "Third Brother, say something, Third Brother!"

……

The proud little princess, at this moment lowering her posture, yet could not get a single response from Lù Yǐnxiāo.

When Sui Sui came over, she happened to witness this scene.

Feng You Tan was fuming, on the verge of exploding.

Lù Yǐnxiāo wasn't intentionally silent; he had explained at the start, but Feng You Tan wouldn't listen.

At this point, seeing the young lady's face about to puff up like a ball, he sighed helplessly: "Second Brother really is fine; he's seen a Doctor, taken medicine, just his throat isn't very comfortable, needing a few days to recuperate—not that taking medicine will make him better right away."

He had said these words before and didn't want to repeat them.

However, he also didn't want to make the young lady cry, and had to consider Feng You Tan's status as a princess, so in the end he compromised and spoke.

Sui Sui had just come over, heard that Second Brother was ill, and asked softly: "Second Brother, what's wrong?"

After asking, she realized she should call him Fourth Brother; calling him Second Brother would be impolite to the other older brothers.

However, Mother Consort also said, just let yourself be happy; it actually doesn't matter what you call him.

But now that she had already said it, Sui Sui had no intention of changing it.

The young lady's pair of dark, shiny round eyes looked at him with curiosity, and Lù Yǐnxiāo nodded slightly, feeling a bit uneasy: "Nothing, just my throat isn't very comfortable; I've already taken medicine."

After responding, Lù Yǐnxiāo still didn't forget to thank: "Thank you, Mingxi, for your concern."

He had given roughly the same explanation twice.

But Feng You Tan still didn't believe it, plucking up her courage to tug at Lù Yǐnxiāo's sleeve, refusing to let go: "Third Brother, say it again, say it again—I'm not at ease about Second Brother."

Lù Yǐnxiāo, thoroughly exasperated by being clung to, yet not wanting to make a group of young ladies cry, after thinking it over, finally managed to say: "Fourth Brother won't let us near him; what I know really is just this."

After Fourth Brother fell ill, Lù Yǐnxiāo hadn't even seen him in person.

He had gone to visit twice, but never even stepped inside the gate.

They were still blood brothers, but the other side didn't want to see him.

So, Lù Yǐnxiāo really doesn't know much—he's already said it all.

Feng You Tan was very disappointed after hearing it, pursing her lips, not very happy.

Sui Sui hurriedly pat-pat-pat ran over, lightly taking her hand: "Yo yo older sister, don't be sad, second brother will be fine."

If Sui Sui hadn't said anything, it would be fine, but as soon as she spoke, Feng You Tan couldn't hold back and burst into tears, wailing.

When she cried, Lù Yǐnxiāo's mature, steady demeanor broke; he looked somewhat at a loss and flustered, watching a group of girls gathered together, trying to console Feng You Tan, who was in the middle shouting at the top of her lungs.

Lù Yǐnxiāo wanted to go comfort her, but after taking a step forward, he stepped back again.

He is not good at comforting people.

He thought, maybe this is also why Fourth Brother doesn't want to see him? But he can't just let her keep crying here, can he?

Many children had already looked over; being seen by so many people, Feng You Tan turned her head angrily—who knows what kind of tantrum she'll throw.

Feng You Tan is still a young child; when she feels wronged and upset, she just cries outright, without thinking about anything else.

Sui Sui anxiously hugged her, but Feng You Tan was afraid her crying would dirty Sui Sui's clothes; she stretched her little head out, holding Sui Sui in an odd posture, crying there, wailing: "Second brother, my second brother!"

Lù Yǐnxiāo: ……

Fourth Brother is just sick, not dead! Your crying like that sounds inauspicious.

But seeing Feng You Tan cry until her eyes were red, Lù Yǐnxiāo swallowed those words again silently.

He thought that if he really said it, Feng You Tan might end up scratching him! Second update.
