Something's Wrong!

Chi Yao covered half of her face with a handkerchief in humiliation.

Did he think that she was willing to come? If he had not asked the in-charge father-in-law to pass on the message, he would not have come to the palace with a swollen face.

"You fool!" Chi Yao cursed softly.

Chi Yang heard everything clearly.

'Wow, the female protagonist actually cursed at the future male protagonist!'

Could this be the legendary saying that beating was love, scolding was love, and kicking was the most practical show of love?

Xiao Yuanqi was the most beloved child of the Emperor and the Empress. Seeing that the Third Prince had not returned, the Empress, Zhao Jinse, sent someone to look for him.

"Third Prince, Your Highness, the Empress calls you back to the palace!" Ye Xin, the palace maid in charge beside the Empress, called out.

"I'm here!" Xiao Yuanqi waved his sleeves and shouted to the palace maid in charge.

Chi Yang sized up Xiao Yuanqi. According to Chi Zhili, Xiao Yuanqi was older than her by a year.

Then... Weren't Xiao Yuanqi's words and actions a little…. Childish?

"Qi'er, you can't be rude. Let me introduce you to your new sister, okay?" Xiao Lianyi pulled Xiao Yuanqi's hand and walked towards Chi Yang, "This is your other younger sister, Yangyang. She will play with you in the future, okay?"

Xiao Yuanqi clapped his hands in excitement.

Something seemed wrong.

However, in order to be polite, Chi Yang greeted Xiao Yuanqi first.

"Hello, Third Cousin."

"Haha, since the fairy sister greeted me, I can play with you, right?" Xiao Yuanqi tilted his head towards Chi Yang and blinked his big eyes as he asked nicely.

His mother had said that as long as he was polite to them, he could play with them.

Chi Yang couldn't help but nod her head when she saw the adorable Third Prince.

"Then let's go play now!"

Without waiting for Chi Yang to reply, Xiao Yuanqi pulled her and ran away like a calf, not turning back no matter how the palace servants called out to him.

'Something's wrong, something is wrong.'

Chi Yang thought.

Xiao Yuanqi and Chi Yang stopped in front of a small bamboo house.

The bamboo leaves on the ground fell to the ground, and one could feel the softness when walking on it.

It was quite thick.

"What is this place?" Chi Yang asked.

Such a simple and crude residence seemed out of place in this magnificent palace, and it was a little mysterious.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuanqi turned his head and looked at Chi Yang with an expression that said, "Obviously. A bamboo house."

Chi Yang held her forehead speechlessly. What was she expecting?

At this moment, a commotion came from the bamboo house. A young man in a moonlit brocade robe was pushed out by a young eunuch.

Even his pale face could not hide his magnificence.

"Ahem, may I ask if you are my cousin?" *Cough*Cough*… The youth in the moonlight brocade robe asked.

He was sickly. He coughed three times and almost couldn't breathe.

From the looks of it, this sickly youth was the Second Prince, Xiao Yuanyou.

Chi Yang bowed to Xiao Yuanyou and said, "Yangyang greets Second Cousin."

"Second Brother! Where was the little white rabbit from a few days ago? I want to play with it!" Xiao Yuanqi inserted himself between the two of them and lay on Xiao Yuanyou's lap, acting coquettishly.

She finally knew what was wrong. Wasn't the Third Prince acting too childish?

Although the book also said that Xiao Yuanqi was very innocent and kind, the current Xiao Yuanqi was too different from the Xiao Yuanqi in the book!

Xiao Yuanyou smiled and patted Xiao Yuanqi's head, replying, "It was sick. I gave it two injections and it died..."

This was already the 58th rabbit that Second Brother had killed.

"Alright then." Xiao Yuanqi lay listlessly on Xiao Yuanyou's lap, his spirit gone.

"I still have two snakes in my room. Do you want to take a look?" Xiao Yuanyou suggested to Xiao Yuanqi.

"No, I like furry animals," Xiao Yuanqi replied.

Was there something wrong with the Second Prince too?
