Chapter Seven: Speaking, Making Soap, Painting, and Displaying Power
Inside the Phoenix Palace, Cheng Ruyi sat in the Empress's lap, chatting away with Da Bai. As Da Bai and Cheng Ruyi were engrossed in their lively discussion, a noise suddenly came from outside the Phoenix Palace. The Empress, Cheng Ruyi, and Da Bai all turned to look outside the Phoenix Palace. A eunuch announced that the Third Prince had arrived at the Phoenix Palace!
Hearing that her older brother had come (●???●), Cheng Ruyi's mood instantly brightened, and she excitedly tugged at her blanket! She babbled something, thinking to herself, "Is it my brother?! My real brother?! I really missed him! He hasn't come to see me in so long! It's like he vanished into thin air! Heartless! His sister isn't important! What's important about his sister?! Yes! I feel like I have a brother, and yet I don't!! He's my own brother! ??(◣д◢)?? My own brother! We're blood relatives!" Cheng Ruyi fantasized inwardly!
The Third Prince, Cheng Yibao, had just entered Fengyi Palace when he heard Cheng Ruyi's silent, affectionate greeting to him ╮(╯＿╰)╭! Two lines of sweat instantly appeared on Cheng Yibao's forehead, and he silently lit a candle for himself ( ??д?? )! Cheng Yibao thought to himself, "You heartless little brat! Your own brother still cared about you, searching for treasures for you! After finding them, he didn't even rest for a moment on the way, rushing to deliver them! Fine, fine, fine! Very beautiful! I'm silently cursing your own brother! Hmm?!" Although Cheng Yibao was inwardly criticizing his younger sister, Cheng Ruyi, he smiled broadly on his face!
Cheng Yibao squinted his phoenix eyes, which could charm countless innocent girls, and said with a smile, "Ruyi, my darling! My dear little sister! Have you missed your brother? Your brother has missed Ruyi terribly!"
Cheng Ruyi called out, "Qiang~ Guoguo...!" The baby, whose milk teeth had just come in, was not speaking very clearly, but you could vaguely hear her calling for her brother!
Cheng Yibao was stunned for a moment, and murmured, "Did my sister just call me?! Did she just call me brother?!"
The Empress was also very surprised. Ruyi had just turned 100 days old and was not even a year old yet. She had never seen a baby who had just turned 100 days old and was already calling out to people! Although the pronunciation was very inaccurate and hesitant, it was still possible to tell from the words that Cheng Ruyi was calling for the Third Prince!
When Cheng Yibao saw his younger sister call him, his excitement was unstoppable, like a burst of extra chewing gum! He urgently said, "Good sister! Sweet little sister! Call me brother one more time! Just one more time!" Cheng Yibao's goldfish eyes widened, his pupils sparkling brightly! It was like a bright spotlight had been turned on! Combined with his captivating phoenix eyes, it was simply dazzling! (☆?☆)
Upon hearing Cheng Yibao's request, Cheng Ruyi silently looked up at the ceiling, rolled her eyes, and thought to herself: Well, another one's gone crazy ┐('～`；)┌!
When Cheng Yibao saw that the little one had stopped making a sound, she became anxious! She said urgently, "Good little sister! Sweet little sister! Please! Call out to me one more time! One last time, little sister! I want to hear it again!"
Cheng Ruyi thought to herself, "I'm definitely not going to call you that again! I only called you 'brother' because I missed you! You're like a black bear drinking some kind of energy drink! So cute and scary at the same time! ╮(╯＿╰)╭ I'm still a baby, if I call you that again I'll give myself away! This world is acting too abnormally, I'll be sent to the Soul Refining Tower! You're not even a year old, my life journey has just begun, I haven't lived enough yet! I don't want to sacrifice myself for the country so early!"
Cheng Ruyi had just blurted out that name without thinking, and if she were asked to say it again now, she definitely wouldn't do it!
"It seems the little princess misses the Third Prince very much!" the wet nurse said cheerfully.
"Yes! Yes! It seems Ruyi really likes her brother the prince! Look how excited she is, she even blurted it out (?＞?＜?)!" The Empress, for the first time ever, playfully teased Cheng Ruyi! Indeed, children are born to be little toys to please their parents! (* / ＼*)
Hearing her mother's words, Cheng Yibao instantly felt much taller! She flicked her not-so-long bangs, snapped open her fan with a 'snap', and the fan even had four large characters written on it, perfectly fitting the occasion: 'Specialist in Curing Dissent'! Then, she said smugly, "As expected, little sister loves big brother the most!"
Watching her older brother's outrageous antics, Cheng Ruyi's cute little head instantly filled with black lines. Having a cocky older brother would definitely make you never bored, absolutely, very, definitely! You'd never be bored! (￣e(￣)!
Upon hearing this, the Empress was like someone who had instantly overturned a jar of 82-year-old Zhenjiang vinegar; the air was filled with an unseen sour smell (￣e(￣)☆╰╮o(￣▽￣///)！
"You ungrateful little brat! Why do you call me 'brother' instead of 'mother'?! Isn't your mother good enough to you?! (◣д◢)??!"
The Empress gently tugged at the baby's face in her arms. The baby's face was as smooth and tender as a peeled egg. The tender white skin didn't come off when she tugged; it was still slippery!
Cheng Ruyi felt that such things should be shared equally to avoid causing family conflicts, so she softly called out, "Mmm... umm... umm...!" Her pronunciation was unclear, and she didn't even manage to say "Empress Mother," but it still made the Empress overjoyed! She hugged Cheng Ruyi tightly, leaned close, and planted a kiss on her rosy cheek! While kissing her gently, she happily said, "My darling! My good daughter! I love my precious Ruyi (* / ? ＼ *)!"
Cheng Ruyi muttered under her breath, "Another one's gone crazy (′??_??)!"
Seeing her mother vying for her affections, Cheng Yibao suddenly felt much more powerful! Thinking this, she quickly reached back with one hand and pulled out a smooth, round, blood-red jade egg, swiftly placing it in Cheng Ruyi's small hand! Cheng Ruyi's little hand touched the round, warm jade, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This cheap brother! Where did he get this magical round stone! Hmm~ this material seems to be jade! And it's warm! This seems to be a good thing (?▽?)!" Cheng Ruyi's mind raced with daydreams!
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince Cheng Yibao thought to himself, "This little guy has quite the discerning eye!"
Cheng Yibao hurriedly said, "This is something your brother specially found for you in the Kingdom of Wind and Moon! Do you like the gift your brother gave you?"
"Porridge...! Crab... Crab... Gao... Fruit...!" Cheng Ruyi used all her strength to finally finish saying her thanks! After she finished speaking, her little face turned rosy red, like a ripe apple, extremely cute!
Seeing his younger sister speaking so urgently and holding her breath, the Third Prince Cheng Yibao was afraid she would choke on her saliva, so he said softly, "Speak slowly, little sister, don't rush! Brother can understand you -_-||!" He said this with such tenderness, and gently poked Cheng Ruyi's little cheek with his finger!
"Next time...!" Before Cheng Yibao could finish speaking, a familiar eunuch's announcement rang out from outside the Fengyi Palace: "His Majesty has arrived at Fengyi Palace!"
Cheng Yibao thought to herself, "That stinky father! Why doesn't he come earlier or later?! He always comes right on time! Last time my sister was still little, so he wouldn't let me see her! Now that she's all grown up, let's see what excuse he'll use to get rid of me!! Humph!"
Commenter: "Young man! Don't be so sure! Be careful of the 'it smells so good' phenomenon!! (?°3°)-?! I came~ and I'm leaving again! Hehe (o﹃o)! Let's go~ The stage manager won't be able to catch me this time!"
Stagehand: You son of a bitch (#-.-)! I told you not to add your own scenes for no reason! And to spoil the plot again! I told you not to keep your mouth shut all the time! I told you not to spoil the plot! I told you not to spoil the plot! *Clang*... *smack* *smack*, are you going to spoil the plot again next time?! Are you going to spoil it again?!
(￣e(￣)☆╰╮o(￣▽￣///)
Sorry! The best part is yet to come, so please read on patiently! Thank you! If you like it, please support me!
(′-w-`)! Goodbye~ Heart emoji~
Commenter: "Ouch~ Don't hit my face, spank my butt! I can take it!"
(?_?)! Why am I always the one who gets beaten up...?
Before Emperor Yunxuan even entered the palace, his hearty laughter echoed through the main hall of Fengyi Palace. That infectious, almost demonic laugh was incredibly powerful! Before he even stepped inside, his voice rang out: "My darling! My precious Ruyi! Father has come to see you! Father has arrived!" Emperor Yunxuan had barely stepped into Fengyi Palace when he burst into laughter, saying, "My darling Ruyi! Did you miss Father?! Did you…?" Before he could finish his question, his laughter abruptly stopped. His previously radiant smile vanished like a flower, replaced by a stern expression, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor! He was like a completely different person! [Wow, not bad! Excellent facial expression management! You're both born Oscar-worthy actors!]
"You brat! What are you doing here?! Didn't you leave the palace?! When did you return?! Why didn't you come to report to me immediately upon your return! Didn't you see the letter I gave you?"
"Your carrier pigeon?!" A barrage of "why" questions >o<, like a machine gun firing at a tidal wave, ratt-a-tat-tat~biu~biu~biu~whoosh whoosh whoosh~, rapidly attacking the Third Prince Cheng Yibao! If this were a scene from a PUBG game, the Third Prince would probably be riddled with holes by now! ( ??д?? )
"Your Majesty! Your son has come to visit my younger sister! I haven't seen her for many days and have missed her! I've also brought her some gifts!"
"You brat! You have no sense of propriety! Your little sister is still young and growing. She can't play with you for long! Ruyi needs to sleep and replenish her energy after playing for a while! She shouldn't be too active!"
After Emperor Yunxuan finished speaking, he hurriedly took Cheng Ruyi from the Empress's arms and hugged her while rocking her, saying, "My darling! Has my Ruyi missed her father?"
Empress: ……⊙▽⊙
Cheng Ruyi's wet nurse: ……⊙▽⊙
Cheng Ruyi: ……⊙▽⊙
After hearing his father's words and seeing his father's behavior just now, the Third Prince Cheng Yibao thought to himself, "Who was it that just said my little sister is too young for strenuous activity?! A 'hehe' for you, I wonder if that's appropriate! My dear father! Father, you're really too hypocritical!"
Cheng Yibao was angry, but dared not show it! Then something flashed through her mind, and she chuckled (o﹃o)!
Cheng Yibao instantly realized something, a lewd smile flashing across his face, and said, "Father! Your son has good news for you! My sister will…!" Before Cheng Yibao could finish, Cheng Ruyi's alarm bells went off instantly, immediately understanding the meaning behind her brother's words! Her survival instincts kicked in! She secretly thought to herself: Brother, oh brother, I don't know why others keep dogs, but you're a real dog! Woof woof~ Even your own sister betrays you! Humph!
Cheng Ruyi felt her survival instincts kicking in. Before Cheng Yibao could finish speaking, she made her signature, incredibly cute smile (*^w^*) and said softly and urgently, "Fa~fang...!"
His speech was extremely unclear, and he even spit out some saliva and let his breath escape when he spoke -_-||!
Emperor Yunxuan wasn't disgusted at all by the specks of spray on his face (＞﹏＜). On the contrary, he was overjoyed, and his voice even turned into a dolphin-like high-pitched cry as he excitedly laughed and said, "My Ruyi can talk?! Was Ruyi calling me just now?! My Ruyi can call me Father Emperor!"
"My beloved concubine, did you hear that just now? My Ruyi can speak! She can call me Father Emperor!"
The Empress smiled and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Empress thought to herself: We already heard it! We just didn't dare tell you...
Cheng Ruyi: I must hold on tight to this strongest backer! I can't let my brother ruin everything; he's my future pillar of support! My capital for being able to slack off! It's always been good to have a powerful backer…
Cheng Yibao: Hehe...hehe...
The wet nurse, keeping her eyes down, her nose down, her mouth down, and her mouth down, then smiled and said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty! Yes, yes! It seems the little princess really likes you!"
The Empress Dowager said again: ……⊙▽⊙1、
Cheng Yibao again: ……⊙▽⊙2、
