Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi naturally was unaware of her maternal grandfather and Li Xu’s thoughts. After she and Xiao Shici left the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, they unexpectedly ran into the little bun.

Yu Junjin sat on the steps across from the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. He held his small face with his hands, looking drowsy. It seemed like he was waiting for someone. He perked up immediately when he saw Yu Yunxi. He was about to call her ‘Mother’ when he remembered he was at the entrance of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence. In the end, he could only call out, “Sister.”

Yu Yunxi’s expression changed when she saw Yu Junjin. She strode over immediately and picked him up, asking worriedly, “Why are you here?”

The little bun explained in a low voice, “Father has temporarily moved to stay in the relay station. I’m alone in the King of Youshan’s Residence, and I’m very bored. Mother, I miss you so I came to look for you. However, I was worried I’d cause trouble so I waited for you outside.”Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

“Nonsense. What if you encounter danger when you’re alone? If you want to see me, send someone to inform me next time. I’ll come to you,” Yu Yunxi said. Her heart ached when she heard the little bun’s words. However, she spoke seriously because she wanted the little bun to know that his safety was the most important thing.

“Mother, don’t worry. There are secret guards protecting me. They’re just hiding now,” the little bun said, seriously comforting his mother.

Yu Yunxi’s expression eased slightly when she heard this.

The little bun continued to explain in a small voice, “Mother, don’t be angry because I suddenly came here. I miss you very much. Since Father is appearing in front of the people of Xichu as the Prince Regent of Tianxia, I can’t stay by his side. This means the chances of me meeting you will decrease…”

Yu Yunxi was slightly stunned when she heard this.

‘That’s right. I almost forgot about that. Previously, Feng Yili, as the King of

Youshan, brought Junjin into the imperial palace so many people had seen Junjin before. Moreover, the people of Tianxia also recognize Junjin. If Junjin appears in front of everyone with Feng Yili, people would know that Feng Yili is both the Prince Regent of Tianxia and the King of Youshan… What’s Feng Yili’s plan? Don’t tell me he wants Junjin to never show his face in front of others?’

Yu Yunxi had a headache when she thought about this. At the same time, her heart ached for the little bun. She rubbed the little bun’s head and said gently, “Junjin, don’t let your imagination run wild. Why would I be angry? I’ll speak to your father later about your appearance. Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet, ” the little bun replied pitifully with a pout on his face. Coincidentally, his stomach growled at this moment. Yu Yunxi chuckled and said, “Alright. Let’s eat together then.”

Coincidentally, she had yet to eat as well.

“But, Mother, you have plans, right?” the little bun asked as he tilted his head and looked at Xiao Shici, who was standing behind Yu Yunxi.

‘This uncle is quite good-looking… Could it be that he’s here to snatch Mother from Father?’

In just an instant, a wary expression appeared on the little bun’s face.

Yu Yunxi also finally remembered that Xiao Shici was still with her. She pinched the bridge of her nose before she turned around and asked helplessly, “I’m sorry. I got too excited seeing someone I know. Can we bring him along?”

“Of course,” Xiao Shici replied with a gentle smile. He did not ask who the child was or where the child came from. Instead, he strode over and carried the little bun from Yu Yunxi’s arms, saying, “I’ll carry him into the carriage.”

Initially, the little bun wanted to struggle, but then he was worried he would cause trouble for his mother. In the end, he could only obediently stay in Xiao Shici’s arms.

Yu Yunxi coughed and said, pretending to be calm, “His… His name is Junjin. He’s the King of Youshan’s son…”

Since Xiao Shici already knew that Feng Yili was also the King of Youshan, he naturally knew that Junjin was Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi’s son.

Xiao Shici’s expression did not change when he heard Yu Yunxi’s words. He only nodded with a smile.

“Let’s go. I heard from Meng Xia that there’s a teahouse on West Street that sells delicious breakfast, ” Yu Yunxi suggested.

“Are you talking about Full Moon Pavilion?” Xiao Shici asked gently.

“How do you know?”

“Last night, I spoke to my men so I have a vague understanding of the good and fun places in the city, ” Xiao Shici replied patiently.

‘I see…’

Yu Yunxi nodded. Then, she thought of something and said helplessly, “It seems like you know the capital quite well. At least, you know it better than me.

If that’s the case, why do you still need me to bring you around?”

“It’d be boring if I were alone. The more, the merrier,” Xiao Shici said casually.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Yu Yunxi did not intend to ask any more questions. She nodded and quickly got into the carriage first.

‘This uncle seems to have a good relationship with Mother,’ the little bun thought to himself worriedly.

Sensing the little bun’s resistance, Xiao Shici put the little bun down after getting into the carriage and asked patiently, “Junjin, you don’t seem to like

The little bun scoffed and thought to himself, ‘You’re trying to snatch Mother away from us. It’d be strange if I like you!’

At this time, Xiao Shici suddenly brought out a piece of candy.

‘Candy?’

The little bun’s eyes lit up immediately.

‘Although I’m a righteous and proud young man, I still like… candy!’

“It’s for you. Open your mouth,” Xiao Shici said with a smile as he pinched the little bun’s cheek gently.

Although the little bun kept reminding himself to have a backbone, he could not help but open his mouth.

“Good boy,” Xiao Shici said with a smile as he fed the candy to the little bun and rubbed the little bun’s head.

Seeing that Xiao Shici and the little bun were getting along quite harmoniously, Yu Yunxi cleared her throat and asked, “Why do you carry candy with you?”

Xiao Shici looked at Yu Yunxi and explained, “When I was young, I was weak and sickly. As such I had to drink medicine all year round. The medicine was extremely bitter so I’d cry and refuse to drink it. Hence, Mother would carry candy with her all the time to coax me to drink the medicine. When I grew up, I also adopted that habit.”

Yu Yunxi’s heart felt heavy when she heard this. It was obvious that Xiao Shici and his mother were very close.

‘He must be very sad now that his mother is gone…’

“I’m sorry for bringing up your sad memories,” Yu Yunxi said in a low voice.

“It’s nothing. There’s no need to apologize,” Xiao Shici said, shaking his head. Then, he looked at the little bun again, who was chewing on the candy with his cheeks puffed out. He could not help but pinch the little bun’s cheek again and said, “This little fellow is really cute.”

It was obvious that Xiao Shici quite liked the little bun.

Xiao Shici pinched the little bun’s cheek again and asked teasingly, “Little fellow, shouldn’t you thank me for the candy?”

At this time, Yu Yunxi said, “Junjin, you should address him as ‘Uncle’..”
