A hint of confusion appeared on Princess Ning'an's face. The Emperor smiled and said, "It's Little Seven and his little friends."
Little Jing Kong had just entered the palace. Being a child, he wasn't aware of all the people in the palace. He had come purely to discuss the matter of rent increase. That day, he had presented his request for a rent increase to his brother-in-law, who deemed it unreasonable.
So, he wanted to ask Grandaunt how to reasonably increase the rent.
Unfortunately, Grandaunt’s mood seemed a bit down. Being a considerate child, he decided to temporarily set aside the rent increase matter. He transformed into a cute little creature and tried hard to act adorable for a while, only to be unceremoniously thrown out by Grandaunt with an expressionless face.
Too noisy...
Hence, he went to find Qin Chuyu.
Qin Chuyu had recently acquired a puppy, and the two of them were running around chasing the puppy.
The puppy seemed to catch the scent of the Emperor and ran towards the Bixia Palace.
When Qin Chuyu and Little Jing Kong arrived outside the Bixia Palace, they coincidentally saw Huangfu Xian basking in the sun at the entrance.
They had never seen a wheelchair before, so they were quite curious.
Approaching, Little Jing Kong inspected Huangfu Xian's wheelchair and exclaimed, "Wow! What kind of chair is this? It has wheels!"
Qin Chuyu, who was more focused on the person, asked puzzledly, "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"
The imperial palace was home to Qin Chuyu, and while he might not recognize all the palace maids and eunuchs, someone of such obvious significance should not be unknown to him.
Huangfu Xian smirked at the small kid and chubby kid in front of him, "And who are you?"
Qin Chuyu introduced himself seriously, "I am Qin Chuyu, and this is my classmate Jing Kong."
Huangfu Xian scrutinized Qin Chuyu and then glanced at Little Jing Kong. He sneered, "You‘re already this old, yet still going to school with such a small child? Is the prince of the State of Zhao usually this foolish?"
Qin Chuyu was startled, "Who are you calling foolish! I-I-I'm not foolish! I study in the Imperial Academy's elite class!"
Huangfu Xian chuckled, "Stuffed in, right?"
"You!" Qin Chuyu blushed furiously.
Completely absorbed by the large wheels of the wheelchair, Little Jing Kong didn't pay attention to their conversation. He crouched down, earnestly observing the big wheels in front of him.
Copying Little Jing Kong's habitual action, Qin Chuyu fisted his hands on his hips and stamped his feet in anger. Having spent a long time with Little Jing Kong, he had unknowingly adopted some of Little Jing Kong's mannerisms.
He angrily exclaimed, "How dare you speak to me like that! Do you know who I am? I am the Seventh Prince of the State of Zhao! If you continue being impolite, I'll make someone beat you up!"
Instead of being intimidated, Huangfu Xian coldly extended his hand and pushed Qin Chuyu down to the ground!
Unfortunately, Little Jing Kong was squatting down and observing the wheels. When Qin Chuyu fell, he collided with Little Jing Kong, knocking him down as well.
"Oww!" Little Jing Kong cried in pain.
Qin Chuyu's big bottom landed on Little Jing Kong's little foot!
When the Emperor and Princess Ning'an approached, what they witnessed was the two children falling to the ground.
Eunuch Wei also followed and swiftly went forward, lifting Qin Chuyu off the ground first, then helping Little Jing Kong up from underneath.
"Are you alright? Where did you get hurt?" He asked with concern.
Little Jing Kong's right foot was a bit painful.
Qin Chuyu, being plump, wasn't hurt by the fall, but he was furious!
He turned abruptly, intending to rush towards Huangfu Xian.
"Stop!" The Emperor sternly commanded.
Eunuch Wei hurriedly restrained Qin Chuyu.
Qin Chuyu promptly complained, pointing at Huangfu Xian, "Imperial father! He pushed me!"
The Emperor looked at Huangfu Xian in the wheelchair.
Huangfu Xian lazily leaned against the backrest of the wheelchair, raising an eyebrow, "I didn't push you, you fell by yourself."
Qin Chuyu widened his eyes and retorted, "You're lying! I didn't fall by myself! You pushed me! Jing Kong, you saw it, didn’t you?"
"Huh?" Suddenly addressed, Little Jing Kong looked baffled.
He had been engrossed in studying the large wheels and hadn't seen anything.
At that moment, Lian'er rushed back panting with a bunch of peonies in hands. Unaware of what had happened, she handed the peonies over, "Young master... the... flowers you wanted..."
These were the flowers Princess Xinyang cultivated in the greenhouse of the imperial garden, each blossom worth a hundred gold coins.
Lian'er casually plucked five of them.
Huangfu Xian took them and disdainfully remarked, "So few? Didn't I tell you to pick them all?"
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Lian'er replied, "The... the others... haven't bloomed properly yet... These five are the prettiest."
"I don't like them." Huangfu Xian said, then without a second thought, he tossed away the five peonies painstakingly nurtured by Princess Xinyang.
The Emperor could already imagine the expression Princess Xinyang would have upon finding out her flowers were gone.
"Xian'er." Princess Ning'an's expression turned grave.
The Emperor's throat felt dry. He took a shallow breath, coughed and said calmly, "It's fine, it’s just a few flowers. If Xian'er likes peonies, I'll have the people at the greenhouse to select a few pots and send them to Bixia Palace later."
Saying this, he turned to Qin Chuyu and said in a serious tone, "Why aren’t you greeting your aunt and cousin?"
Qin Chuyu asked, "Who is my aunt? Who is my cousin?"
Princess Ning'an walked towards him and rubbed his head, "I'm your Aunt Ning'an, and he is your cousin Xian."
As she spoke, she gestured towards Huangfu Xian behind her.
Qin Chuyu pushed her hand away and said, "He's not my cousin!"
The Emperor's gaze turned stern, "Impudent!"
Qin Chuyu pointed angrily at Huangfu Xian, "He pushed me!"
Huangfu Xian nonchalantly said, "I didn't push you."
Qin Chuyu, infuriated, exclaimed, "You pushed me! You pushed me! You pushed me!"
Princess Ning'an looked at Huangfu Xian and asked solemnly, "Did you push the Seventh Prince or not?"
Huangfu Xian, with a calm and unrestrained gaze, met Princess Ning'an's eyes, "No... I didn't."
"You did!" Qin Chuyu was on the verge of exploding!
"That's enough!" The Emperor sharply stopped Qin Chuyu, then instructed Eunuch Wei, "Take the Seventh Prince back to the Kunning Palace and also escort Jing Kong to the Renshou Palace."
Eunuch Wei complied with unease, "Yes. Let's go, Seventh Prince, Jing Kong."
Both were gently guided forward by Eunuch Wei.
As soon as they turned away, Qin Chuyu raised his hand and wiped the tears of grievance from his eyes, "I didn't lie, he did push me. Why doesn't imperial father believe me?"
Little Jing Kong soothingly grabbed Qin Chuyu's chubby hand and glanced back at the teenager in the wheelchair.
At that moment, the teenager also happened to be looking in their direction.
Little Jing Kong noticed a malicious and taunting smile directed at him from the teenager.
Get lost.
The teenager smirked, his lips curling silently.
