They were truly completely different children.

The crown prince was a bit melancholy. ‘It turns out it isn’t because I changed and suddenly liked to become close with children.’

‘It’s because…’

The crown prince was uninterested in looking at his two sisters anymore and waved his hand. Xiao’xi’zi went to the two accompanying wet nurses and quietly spoke to them.

The two wet nurses were briefly startled before immediately nodding. Each held the hand of Ninth Princess and Tenth Princess before leading them out of Eastern Palace.

The two little princesses remained clueless from start to end.

Why did their royal brother only take one glance at them and then had them leave without saying a word?

After leaving Eastern Palace, Tenth Princess broke out in tears and asked shyly while sobbing, “Wet nurse, did we provoke Royal Brother Crown Prince’s anger?”

The tenth princess’ wet nurse dotingly embraced the child and quickly said, “No, no, it’s just that His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with official business, so His Highness had us leave.”

The tenth princess’s tearful eyes were wide open as she pitifully pressed, “Really? Then why didn’t Royal Brother say a single word to us? Does Royal Brother dislike us?”

The wet nurse quickly nodded before hastily shaking her head. “No, no, don’t worry, Princess. Wet nurse will explain it to Her Highness, Royal Concubine Xi. The two princesses were both so polite and well-mannered, so why would His Highness the Crown Prince dislike you?”

Xiao’xi’zi, who escorted them out, helplessly watched the wet nurses bring the two princesses away before shaking his head and returning to Eastern Palace.

Ay, who knew which screw went loose in his lord’s head that made him suddenly want to see his two royal sisters? In the end, His Highness did not say anything before sending them away again…

Your Highness will truly scare little children with Your Highness’ reckless actions!

When Xiao’xi’zi returned to the room, he instantly saw his lord maintaining the same position of propping his chin up with his hand and intently staring at the desk like a statue.

His Highness must have stayed like this for at least 15 minutes, right!

Xiao’xi’zi moved lightly to the crown prince’s side with tiny steps, wanting to take a look at the desk out of curiosity.

However, the crown prince picked up the thin piece of drawing paper with two fingers and raised it up.

Xiao’xi’zi was unable to see even a single dot…

On the paper, there was a stoic little girl expressionlessly looking at him. Her distinctive eyes were like two pits of icy water, as though they could suck people’s soul inside if people were careless.

The little girl in the portrait was being raised above someone’s head by a pair of arms.

If he really dared to do that in reality, she would certainly beat him black and purple, wouldn’t she!

The crown prince stared at the portrait for a long while before muttering to himself, “You always look at me expressionlessly probably because you are… too! Lazy! To! Smile! Right?!”

“Who? Who’s expressionlessly looking at Your Highness? Who dares to be so rude to Your Highness? Who is so lazy that they don’t smile at Your Highness???” Xiao’xi’zi promptly bounced forward and launched a string of inquiries.

Which fearless soul dared to treat their lord like this? When has their lord ever had a good temper? He would kill them!

The crown prince glanced at his personal junior eunuch. ‘So stupid, why did I take him to my side back then?’

“Your Highness, the two princesses left Eastern Palace full of apprehension and sadness,” Xiao’xi’zi quickly reported. “They will likely be scolded by Her Highness, Imperial Concubine Xi, when they return.”

The crown prince did not say anything.

Xiao’xi’zi covertly glanced at the crown prince and cleared his throat before asking, “Why didn’t Your Highness say a word to the two princesses before making them leave?”

Saying two comforting sentences would be better than not saying a single word, wouldn’t it?!

“Because…” The crown prince smoothed out the portrait before lightly folding it in half to store it on his person. Then, he stood up and languidly said, “They aren’t half as cute as her.”
