Xiao Jiang Nou’s black eyes flickered between the crystal ball and his cheap father.
The crystal ball is very beautiful, about the size of a fist. At the center of the transparent round ball, there is a majestic gyrfalcon carved on it. At night, it will also emit a colorful light.
This is a tribute from a small country in the north. It is said to be made from a rare local crystal that is not affected by water or fire. It also has the ability to withstand impacts and falls, making it very suitable for enjoyment.
Before setting off, Sui Heng specifically asked Ji An to dig it out of the warehouse, thinking of giving it to the little boy to ease their father-son relationship. Unexpectedly, God’s plans superseded our own, making him encounter the little boy in such a wretched situation.
Xiao Jiang Nuo had never seen such a toy before. He blinked and couldn’t help but take two more glances, but still remained aloof and made a gesture of not being bought by his cheap father.
Sui Heng noticed that although the little boy pretended to be cold and aloof, but his fingers were tightly gripping the crystal ball without any intention of letting go. Obviously, he was very satisfied with his gift.
If under normal circumstances, he might let him kiss, hug, and hold high already.
And the little boy is very smart too.
Knowing that the crystal ball would emit light, he deliberately hid it in his arms to prevent the light from revealing itself and attracting the outsiders’ attention.
“Will it work or not?”
Sui Heng asked using lip sync.
Gongsun Yang and Fan Zhou had reached behind the curtain, close at hand, and were likely to rush inside the next moment. If caught in such a situation, his majesty as the Crown Prince of Sui and Commander of the Qinglang Battalion will be greatly diminished.
Fan Zhou and Gongsun Yang stood anxiously behind the curtain.
It was impolite to break in without being summoned, so neither of them dared to enter the curtain without authorization.
The two of them only called their Highness respectfully through the curtain.
There was no movement inside for a long time, which was very unusual. Just as the two were hesitating whether to go straight in, a corner of the tablecloth suddenly moved slightly.
A little dumpling, who was wearing a fox down nightgown, gradually moved out from behind the tablecloth, holding a large crystal ball in his arms.
“Xiao Huangsun!”
Gongsun Yang was overjoyed.
He guessed that Xiao Huangsun was most likely hiding in His Highness’s palace, and it was definitely right.
Last night, His Highness asked the nannies to take Xiao Huangsun back to his original palace to sleep because he needed to draw blueprints. Xiao Huangsun has a big appetite, and the nannies have to feed him twice a night. He can’t stay inside, but unexpectedly, he went out, and the nannies said that Xiao Huangsun is missing.
This used to happen all the time. But after Xiao Huangsun’s kidnapping, whether it was the palace attendants, guards, or nannies, all of them were in a little panic. He was equally worried about whether there would be another criminal who would break into the pass and harm Xiao Huangsun. Only then did he bring a group of palace guards to quickly chase after him in His Highness’s bedchamber.
Gongsun Yang immediately picked Xiao Jiang Nuo up and saw the crystal ball in the little one’s hand, feeling a bit unfamiliar. He couldn’t help but wonder: since when did Xiao Huangsun have such a rare toy?
Fan Zhou took advantage of the gap between Xiao Jiang Nuo’s coming out and glanced behind the curtain. He vaguely caught a glimpse of a green shadow on the couch, indicating that His Highness was still sleeping. He was skeptical that His Highness had always been diligent and disciplined, and he should have already woken up at this time of the day. Why is he sleeping so deeply at this moment? However, His Highness spent most of the time drawing new city blueprints in the past two days and sometimes went to bed at dawn, which is not inexplicable.
But…
If Xiao Huangsun is found, then where did the Crown Prince of Sui go?
Fan Zhou still couldn’t let go of his doubts. His heart moved, and he smiled kindly. His gaze fell on the crystal ball in the little boy’s hand, and he said with a smile, “What a beautiful crystal ball. Let the minister guess, it must have been given to Your Little Highness by a very skilled uncle, isn’t it? Where is that uncle now?”
Sui Heng, who is still woefully hiding under the table, “……”
Sui Heng suddenly felt a slight unease. This little brat backed out of the battle and screwed him over last time, he’s likely to repeat it again this time. How could he not have anticipated this and given such an important cover task to this little brat?
Outside the curtain, Xiao Jiang Nuo hugged the crystal ball, tilted his head, and looked at Fan Zhou obediently.
Then he reached out and pointed in a direction.
Fan Zhou looked towards the north window and quickly ordered the guards to inspect it. The guards quickly returned and reported, “Master, there were indeed signs of loosening in the windows over there.”
“He must have run away!”
Fan Zhou regretted not being able to catch Sui Heng in the act.
And because there was commotion outside, Jiang Yun finally woke up. Fan Zhou and Gongsun Yang consciously disturbed their Highness’s rest and quickly apologized together. Jiang Yun stood up, understood the situation, and said, “It’s fine, you guys should retreat first.”
When everyone left and silence returned to the bedchamber, Jiang Yun lifted the tablecloth with his own hands, his eyes slightly curled, teasingly looking at Sui Heng squatting inside, and said, “Now Your Highness is not a gentleman on the beam, but a gentleman under the table instead ah.”
Sui Heng crawled out, feeling depressed. He picked the person up and placed him on the couch, saying with a dark face, “Gu has really spent more than twenty years of Gu’s fame on this group of advisors under you.”
The two people, one sitting and one standing.
Jiang Yun chuckled, and his green sleeves slipped off his arms, revealing the fair jade-like arms that gently wrapped around Sui Heng’s neck.
He can still see traces of last night on that arm swaying before his eyes. Sui Heng felt a bit unable to hold back, and in his current position, he slowly pressed down on his narrow waist, gazing at his moist black eyes and two slender and thick eyelashes. Just as he was about to move, a piercing pain suddenly came from his leg.
For a moment, all the fantasies disappeared completely.
Sui Heng lowered his head and saw the little dumpling, who was holding a crystal ball and was standing by his legs, tilting his head and looking at him coldly.
To be precise, the little dumpling’s gaze at him this time was not only cold but also filled with anger.
Seeing him let go, he forcefully arched his head onto his leg, trying to push him away.
The first attempt was unsuccessful, so he continued with the second attempt.
Seeing that he still couldn’t move him, he even ran up like a little calf.
Sui Heng: “……”
Sui Heng picked the little dumpling up with one hand, his teeth itching. “You don’t want to play with the crystal ball anymore, right?”
The little dumpling immediately hugged the crystal ball tightly.
Sui Heng was amused and thought, the little thing was quite clever. The food-guarding habit is completely taken after him. He is strong and was afraid of hurting the toddler, so he loosened his grip and threw the little thing onto the bed.
The little dumpling immediately dove into Jiang Yun’s arms in a flash.
Jiang Yun didn’t spoil the little boy this time, he put the little boy aside and said with a straight face, “In the future, you’re not allowed to run around anymore during bedtime. Do you hear? Otherwise, you’re not allowed to sleep and live with Gu. You’re enjoying yourself. Have you ever considered the feelings of the palace guards?”
The little dumpling opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Yun pitifully.
Jiang Yun asked, “Do you remember?”
The little dumpling hung his head down, his eyes red and tearful, looking pitiful like a little rabbit with drooping ears.
But he still held the crystal ball tightly in his hand to avoid being snatched away by Sui Heng.
Sui Heng was fortunate enough to witness the little boy’s two faces, which can be said to be breathtaking. Today, the little boy also helped him a lot. As another father, he felt it was necessary to speak a few words for the little boy.
Clearing his throat, just as he was about to speak, he caught Jiang Yun’s warning gaze.
Sui Heng made a sharp turn. “That’s right, what you said is right.”
The little dumpling suddenly raised his head, unable to believe it, and glanced at him as if he had suffered a great injustice. A tearful bean snapped out of his eyes.
In the next moment, the little dumpling lifted the crystal ball and angrily threw it to the ground.
Sui Heng: “……”
