The Adventures of the Crying Princess

For several days, Yuwen Ji moved the official documents of the Ministry of Justice back to the palace. From then on, the study room of Prince Yi's palace became the temporary office of the Ministry of Justice.

On this day, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Cha, was reporting on his work when a little head popped out of the window. Mr. Cha, who was nearly fifty years old, was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Child, come in quickly. You are wearing so little, what if you catch a cold?" It was no longer cold in April, but in Yuwen Ji's impression, she was always afraid of the cold.

He took off his cloak, wrapped the person in it, and carried him in directly through the window. "Although it is early summer, your body is not fully recovered yet. You can't wear so little."

"I want to ask you if you want to eat osmanthus cake." Bai Yimeng looked so innocent that it made people think of something else.

"I'll take my leave!" As an old man, he couldn't eat too much dog food, so Lord Cha bowed and took his leave.

Seeing that no one was around, Yuwen Ji picked Bai Yimeng up and shook him, "Oh, he's become heavier these days, it looks like he's recovered well."

"Big Black Bear, do you want to eat osmanthus cake?" Maybe he didn't remember his name, so he gave him a nickname randomly.

Yuwen Ji was a little confused. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by a fool was really unpalatable. But he didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of hurting the child's feelings. He deliberately interrupted, "Can I play chess with you?"

"OK!"

Seeing that the little girl had forgotten about the osmanthus cake, Yuwen Ji breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if he had escaped a disaster.

“You are very good at playing chess. Can you let me have two pieces?” He brushed the flour off the tip of Bai Yimeng’s nose and pinched her little face.

"No. Master said that I'm much younger than you. You're so old now, and you still want me to give way. You're shameless." Bai Yimeng said, pouting and shaking her head.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is here." Yi Tong's voice came from outside the study.

When the two men stood up, Emperor Chengde had already arrived at the door and quickly bowed.

Emperor Chengde hurriedly helped the man up, without even looking at his son, and pulled the little girl to sit down, "You look much better, why are you wearing a cloak? Third brother, you are so old, and you are not good at taking care of people?"

"Don't talk about the big black bear. He was very good to me. I ran away on my own."

Emperor Chengde cursed him inwardly for being heartless, but he still had to put on a smile, "I heard that you love peaches, so Duke Liu sent a large cart of them when he returned to the southwest. I brought some for you.

"In fact, the peaches there are not good. Wait a few days, when the peaches in Prince Yi's fiefdom are ripe, I will give you two baskets."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuwen Ji thought to himself: How surprising! I can't even decide on the peaches from my own fief? The emperor father has to go through all the trouble to send them to the children. He only sent two baskets, as if my fief didn't produce peaches.

Emperor Chengde sat for a while and then left. Bai Yimeng remembered something and grabbed Yuwen Ji and asked, "Big Black Bear, do you want to eat osmanthus cake?"

"Eat!" Yuwen Ji risked his life, the worst that could happen was being poisoned to death. Grabbing the hot osmanthus cake, he said, "Kid, are you sure you want me to eat it? If anything happens to me, no one will love you anymore."

"Master will pamper me, Your Majesty, you can eat without worry." Bai Yimeng didn't understand what Yuwen Ji meant at all, and her eyes were full of clarity and innocence.

Yuwen Ji closed his eyes and took a bite. The sweet sweet osmanthus fragrance flowed down his tongue into his throat. The soft crust melted in his mouth. "Isn't this for you?"

"It was made by Sister Mint. She said that the main reason I failed last time was because I put garlic and chili in it."

"She's right. In fact, you almost succeeded last time. If you didn't add garlic, pepper, chili, and sand, it would be perfect." Yuwen Ji seemed to have found some communication skills.

"Okay, I'll make it for you next time."

Yuwen Ji really wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he so talkative?

"By the way, what's your name? I forgot it again." This was the fiftieth time she asked Yuwen Ji this question today.

"Just call me Big Black Bear." Yuwen Ji touched her head.

"Am I so stupid that I can't even remember your name?"

Seeing that the little girl was a little bit self-blaming, Yuwen Ji held her in his arms and said, "My little girl is not stupid at all. It's just that my name is too long and hard to remember. When I was your age, I couldn't remember my own name either."

"you're lying."

Yuwen Ji rubbed her head, "Do you really want to remember my name?"

Bai Yimeng nodded heavily, "You've been so good to me, how could I not remember your name?"

Yuwen Ji smiled, thinking of something, "Okay, it's not in vain that I love you. So, you play by yourself for a while, I have something else to do, can I accompany you later?"

"No, you promised to help me grow ducks, you can't go back on your word."

Yuwen Ji was startled for a moment, but then he remembered and patted her head with a wry smile, "That's a sapling, not a duck. Ducks are yellow and fluffy."

"No, you're wrong. Granny Liu said that's a chick, not a duck."

Yuwen Ji felt uncomfortable and didn't want to continue this topic. "Okay, if you say chicken, it means chicken."

"Big Black Bear, why do they call you Prince?"

"Because I am the prince appointed by His Majesty himself."

Knowing that she wouldn't understand what he said, Yuwen Ji still patiently explained it to her.

"What is your relationship to me then? Why do you always wear this black cloak? Why ..."

Yuwen Ji knocked the "problematic" girl unconscious. He sent someone to invite Lu Yikuan, "This is a note that suddenly appeared on my desk this morning. I thought it was strange so I kept it."

Lu Yikuan opened the note and saw that it said: I have a way to restore Princess Sui'an's memory. Tomorrow at noon, in the willow forest on the outskirts of the city.

"Don't believe it, it's obviously a lie. I just happen to have something to give you. Master asked me to give you this letter and burn it after reading it." Lu Yikuan lowered his voice and nodded at the sleeping person. Then he opened his normal volume and said, "By the way, Master also told you not to pamper her too much.

It's fine to just carry her in and out. Why is she being fed? Her shoulder injury has long since healed, so she should have no problem wielding a sword."

"She refuses to eat, what should I do? I can't just watch her starve!" Yuwen Ji seemed to understand, and while cooperating with Lu Yikuan, he opened the letter.

After reading the letter, he felt as if struck by lightning, and it took him a long time to calm down. He stared at Lu Yikuan with his eyes wide open, as if to verify something.

Lu Yikuan understood what he meant and nodded heavily, as if to say, that's it.

Then, he clasped his fists and said, "My Lord, please don't spoil me."

"Lu Lao Er, you said bad things about me!" Bai Yimeng jumped up and landed on Lu Yikuan's back.

"Wow, Xiao Qi can jump so high, awesome! Second Brother is your best friend, how could he possibly say something bad about you? Don't listen to bad people.

Lu Yikuan had strong internal energy. Long before he saw Bai Yimeng coming, he had already snatched the letter and burned it with his internal energy.

Yuwen Ji's mind was still full of the contents of the letter, his ears were buzzing, and he could not hear the conversation between the two at all.
