Chapter 457 Prophecy
The two little kids glared at each other, which soon attracted the attention of others.
Princess Anping hurriedly pulled Sheng Hongtong to her side, and stretched out a slender jade hand, gently blocking his eyes, fearing that little Yining would be frightened by his fierce gaze.
She disapproved and rebuked him, "Azhu, how dare you bully others?"
Sheng Hongtong: ...
At the same time, Xiao Yining slowly withdrew her gaze, pouted her lips, tears gradually welled up in her eyes, and she looked very aggrieved.
She even said something to "help" the naughty child: "Aunt Anping, don't be angry. I'm fine! Uncle plays with me like this every day."
After saying that, Pei Yi stretched out his hand as if to comfort the little girl, gently touched the little girl's head, and then sighed helplessly.
Princess Anping saw this, her eyes were full of reproach and dissatisfaction, and she continued to scold the naughty child, "Azhu, how can you do this? Lin Yining is still young, and she is your junior. Even if you can't protect her, you must not bully her like this."
"Cousin, she was the one who glared at me first." Sheng Hongtong hurriedly defended himself.
Unfortunately, Princess Anping was completely unmoved. "What goes around comes around. I heard that you and her are inseparable every day when you visit your uncle. You may have corrupted her unintentionally!"
When Sheng Hongtong heard this, he was speechless for a moment. He gritted his teeth secretly and lowered his head feeling aggrieved.
Princess Anping felt a little pity when she saw this, but she kept a serious look on her face. She gently said, "Lin Yining will be returning to her ancestral land soon. When Ah Zhu is with her, you must not let her develop bad habits, so as not to lose manners in front of the family elders and cause displeasure."
As soon as these words came out, the naughty kid's heart was shocked. He looked up in disbelief, and questioned the woman who spoke with his eyes. Seeing that she nodded slightly to confirm again, he turned his gaze to Lin Yinhu who came in with him.
Lin Yinhu answered truthfully: "Second Prince, my aunt wants to accompany my uncle to take the imperial examination."
When Sheng Hongtong heard this, he couldn't help but feel reluctant as he looked at the little kid who had just made him feel embarrassed.
Not only him, but also his two younger sisters.
Chen Jiaoyi asked anxiously, "Sister Yining, when will you leave and when will you come back?"
"Yes, why didn't you inform us of such an important matter? We can then send you off." Yan Ke also quickly agreed.
At this moment, little Yining was also confused by this sudden news. After she came to the palace, her mother had not mentioned returning to Linjia Village. She thought her mother had changed her mind!
Under the fiery gazes of the crowd, the little kid reacted very quickly, and replied with a bit of cuteness: "Mom told me to leave in August, and if my dad passes the exam, he will come back in August."
"What did you say? If your father fails the exam, you won't come back?" Sheng Hongtong replied in shock.
Little Yining was speechless for a moment, looking at this fast-talking kid in silence.
According to the time calculated by Wang Gungun, her father really won't be able to make it this time, let alone take the imperial examination. He has to wait until the special examination is held. By then, there will be more people taking the examination and the competition will be greater.
Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but frown. She saw that the male lead's halo had not yet had any power, so how bright could her father's halo as the second male lead be?
This number one scholar...I guess it's hard for the man in her family to handle this.
Getting first place in the exam has long become the little kid’s obsession and expectation for the second and third male students.
The hall fell into a brief silence because of the naughty child's train of thought.
Finally, it was Princess Anping who broke the silence by saying, "Azhu, stop speaking prophecies."
However, the atmosphere, which was not warm to begin with, was tinged with sadness of parting because Xiao Yining was about to leave.
Princess Anping saw that everyone had lost interest and did not keep them any longer. She just said a few words of encouragement and let them go.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the fiery clouds dyed the sky red, also shrouding the returning little figure with a hint of warmth.
Sheng Hongtong seemed to still be affected by what had just happened. He silently looked at the little boy's back as he walked away, his lips tightly pursed, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart.
When the kid reached the bend and was about to disappear from his sight, he called out loudly: "Lin Yining..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yining paused and looked back at the awkward child in confusion. Then, she heard him say, "Didn't I say last time that I would take you out of the palace to play? I will leave the palace the day after tomorrow."
As soon as he said this, he turned around without hesitation and walked away quickly in the other direction.
Little Yining blinked her big eyes, watching the man fleeing, and complained in her heart that this man was pretending and didn't feel awkward at all.
Then, she started to feel complacent again. She knew that no one could escape the attack of cute kids, including naughty kids. They both loved and hated her.
However, just as the little girl was feeling complacent, a discordant voice sounded beside her.
Wang Gungun had a complicated expression on his face and slowly said, "I advise you not to go. You will be unlucky."
Xiao Yining: ...
Hearing this, Xiao Yining could not help but freeze in place, then reacted, looked at Wang Gungun in surprise, and hurriedly asked: "If I don't go, will I not be unlucky?"
He was silent for a moment, then replied very seriously: "In fact, even if you don't go, you will still be unlucky, but the foreplay of bad luck will be different."
Xiao Yining: It’s her destiny to wait for bad luck.
After saying this, Wang Gungun pretended to sigh deeply, then cast his eyes into the distance, looking quite helpless, and then said, "Your calamity...is finally here, and there is no way to avoid it or escape it."
Xiao Yining's heart began to beat involuntarily because of these words. While she was terrified of the unknown that was about to come, she also felt a sense of relief that she had finally waited for it.
Pei Yi on the side also fell into deep thought because of Wang Gungun's words. Although he was sometimes impatient with the man's evasive way of speaking, he still highly recognized his uncanny ability to hit the nail on the head and make accurate predictions from the bottom of his heart.
After a moment, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the little girl's head, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, Sister Qing. Your cousin will be watching over you day and night these days. No matter what, I can't let you get hurt."
Xiao Yining nodded with a heavy heart, and then she looked up at her fellow villager with a touching face: "Qingjie knows that my cousin is a powerful man who will be my father, and he will definitely not let me get hurt."
Pei Yi: ..., in fact, being an uncle is not bad!
After so many days of immersion in taking care of three children at once, the young boy has begun to feel a little hesitant.
He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl and changed the subject, "Then I'll go to Fenghua Palace to get some clothes, and then we'll go back to Siquan Palace together. Anyway, Master is very tight-lipped and refuses to reveal any news about the Crown Prince, so it's okay to spend a few days with him."
