536 Scheming Little Sly Jiang (1)


    The eunuch who sent the message did not expect the Helian mother and son to refuse the Emperor’s invitation. One had to know that the Emperor only had two princesses in his life. The Eldest Princess had been exiled, and the little princess was the only bloodline left of the Emperor. All these years, the entire country had seen how much the Emperor doted on this little daughter. Since it was a birthday banquet for her, there should not be any rejection.


    It was their family’s birthday. They could just move it forward two days to celebrate. Why did they have to celebrate it on the same day as the Little Princess? She wasn’t the Eldest Princess, seriously!


    “This general really doesn’t know how to be flexible…”


    On this end, the eunuch returned to the pce to report to the Emperor. On the other end, Yu Wan also began to rack her brains to prepare a birthday gift for Madam Jiang. She did not know that the eunuch had been here, nor did she know that her mother’s and the Little Princess’s birthdays were actually on the same day. However, even if she knew, she probably would not think too much about it, let alone stop preparing for Madam Jiang’s birthday.


    “What should I give Mom?” Yu Wan sat in her room and thought hard.


    Yan Jiuchao was quietly reading a book at the side. It was still theic that Helian Beiming had bought for the little ck eggs. He read it seriously. Those who didn’t know better would think that he was preparing for the imperial examination.


    “Yan Jiuchao…”


    As soon as Yu Wan opened her mouth, Yan Jiuchao stuffed a piece of snack into her mouth. From the beginning to the end, his gaze never left the book. He hummed and flipped to the next page.


    Yu Wan : “…”


    Yu Wan finally decided to give her mother a box of good rouge. This was because ording to her observation, her mother especially liked rouge. In the past, among the many good things that Yan Jiuchao had sent to Lotus Flower Vige, her mother had only wiped out the rouge. Although she put most of it on the little ck eggs’ butts and fiery red lips, in short, her mother loved rouge!


    After making up her mind, Yu Wan remembered that there seemed to be a rouge shop nearby. After confirming the address with the maidservant in the courtyard, she turned around and left. However, just as she was about to step out of the door, the little fellows ran over and hugged her thigh.


    “Go,” Xiaobao said.


    “Mom is going to buy rouge. Are you sure you want to follow me? Are you sure you don’t want the candied hawthorn opposite?” If she remembered correctly, the rouge shop was opposite the candied hawthorn shop.


    The three little ck eggs shook their heads adorably. They were not greedy for candied hawthorn.


    Definitely not.


    Slurp!


    Yu Wan pinched the three little fellows’ chubby faces in anger and amusement and brought them out.


    The shop was not far. She walked out from the back door of the manor and passed through a few alleys. Yu Wan did not take a carriage and let the little fellows follow her. The moment the three of them entered the alley, they were like wild horses that had lost their reins.


    “Catch me! Catch me!” Xiaobao rushed to the front.


    Er’bao was not to be outdone. He chased after Xiaobao and turned to say to Dabao, “Come and catch me!”


    The two little fellows loved to bully Dabao, who didn’t know how to speak. However, the two of them seemed to have miscalcted. They wanted Dabao to chase after them, but when they turned around, Dabao had disappeared. When they looked forward again, Dabao had already left them far behind.


    The two dumbfounded babies: “…”


    Dabao ran to the street where the candied hawthorn was sold in one go and stopped moving. He looked like he was saying, “I really didn’t slurp… slurp… came out with my mother… slurp… for the sake of the candied hawthorn so that I can slurp…”


    Yu Wan wasughing hysterically. His little body was standing upright. His face was filled with the words “I won’t eat, I won’t eat”, but his mouth was drooling. How could her son be so cute?


    If Xiaobao and Er’bao had done this, Yu Wan might have been able to withstand it. However, Dabao was the only baby who did not know how to speak and was often teased by his two brothers, so Yu Wan could not help but tilt the scales in her heart towards him.


    On ount of Dabao, Yu Wan finally brought the three little fellows to the candied hawthorn shop.


    The three of them were extremely happy! The shop owner had long known the three little fellows and knew their taste very well. He just couldn’t tell who was who.


    “Xiaobao wants this.” Xiaobao stood on his tiptoes and pointed at thergest stick of candied hawthorn. He was clearly the youngest, but he had to eat thergest.


    Er’bao still asked for a skewer of rock sugar oranges. Dabao asked for a bunch of rock sugar grapes.


    The three of them gave the first bite to Yu Wan. Yu Wan really did not like sweetness. “You guys eat. I don’t like this.”


    Only then did the three of them start chewing. Their ck faces revealed a mouthful of clean white teeth as they chewed on the sparkling candied hawthorn. They looked too cute. The passers-by who passed by looked at them and guessed whose children they were.
