Chapter 1293: Chapter 1293: Lord Demon, Save Me!
Bai Zhi’er chuckled drily, "This morning... I went to give Brother Fu Ce New Year’s greetings, and then we left the palace for a walk to enjoy the snowy scenery."
Bai Xilie frowned, "You’re the Princess, giving him New Year’s greetings?"
Seeing Bai Xilie about to trouble Feng Fuce, Bai Zhi’er quickly linked arms with her father.
"Oh, Father, all last year, thanks to Brother Fu Ce’s protection by my side, I avoided many dangers."
"By the way, I haven’t asked, did your head still hurt after you woke up this morning from last night’s drinking?" Bai Zhi’er swiftly changed the topic.
Being asked with concern by his daughter, Bai Xilie naturally felt comfortable and happy.
He laughed heartily, "Zhi’er truly is Father’s good daughter. Father seldom gets drunk, and suddenly getting drunk once, I thought I would surely feel unwell."
"But unexpectedly, this morning I woke up not only feeling refreshed, but also dreamt of your mother coming back to see us last night."
Bai Zhi’er giggled.
Of course, it was a beautiful dream, after all, she had the protection of magic.
She sweetly said, "Father’s dreams will surely come true. Mother might come back soon to reunite with us."
Bai Xilie sighed, "I hope so!"
Bai Zhi’er signaled to Feng Fuce behind her to leave first.
Otherwise, if Bai Xilie interrogated and found out she stayed over at Feng Fuce’s house last night,
Her father would surely be furious!
Feng Fuce understood and was about to leave.
However, a small, black figure came rushing out of the hall.
Qingmei chased after it, "Bear cub, don’t run!"
The little black bear squeezed between Bai Xilie and Bai Zhi’er.
It clung to Feng Fuce’s robe as if seeing a savior.
Seeing Bai Xilie and Bai Zhi’er, Qingmei immediately paid her respects.
Bai Xilie suspiciously asked, "When did Zhi’er start raising a bear?"
Bai Zhi’er immediately said, "It’s Brother Fu Ce who saw that this bear cub is clever and well-behaved, and brought it to amuse me."
Bai Xilie hesitated, "It won’t hurt anyone, right?"
"No harm!" Qingmei quickly said, "The bear cub is just a bit mischievous, rolling around everywhere. Just now it even hid under the bed to play hide-and-seek with me."
"It’s just that it got dirty, so I wanted to take it for a wash. After the Princess returns, she can have fun with it then, but this little bear runs so fast!"
After Qingmei finished speaking, she reached out to Lu Wang, "Bear cub, let’s go, the Princess is back. You should go take a bath!"
Lu Wang urgently tugged at Feng Fuce’s robe.
The round little bear’s eyes were full of undisguised pleading—
[Lord Demon, save me! This woman is going to wash my bottom!]
Bai Zhi’er lightly coughed.
"Brother Fu Ce, since it’s so attached to you, you take it to the Xiuluo Guard first. I’ll come to fetch it later."
Feng Fuce just had something to say to Lu Wang, so he picked it up and left.
Qingmei, however, looked on wistfully.
She had taken care of this little bear cub for several days and had grown attached.
She was just afraid that the people in the Xiuluo Guard, with their heavy hands, might accidentally hurt the little bear.
But since the Princess had given her orders, she had to take it as it was.
Bai Xilie patted Bai Zhi’er’s hand and entered the hall with his daughter.
"In the evening, your uncle and your third and younger uncles will join us for a meal in the palace."
"Qingmei, you go prepare."
"Yes." Qingmei withdrew.
Hearing her family members’ names, Bai Zhi’er blinked her dark eyes.
"Father, yesterday I heard an interesting rumor, and I want to ask you if it’s true."
