Chapter 290: Grapes for Eyes, Delicious!

Chapter 290: Grapes for Eyes, Delicious!

Suisui felt uncomfortable being stared at.

The way Little Baozi's sister was looking at her...

How should she put it?

It felt like she wanted to eat her up!

Suisui nervously tugged at her clothes, glanced cautiously at Feng Youtan, and called out softly, "Sister?"

Feng Youtan was still thinking about how Suisui's eyes were as round and adorable as little grapes, making her look absolutely delectable.

Slurp!

She mustn't think about it anymore, or she'll start craving it.

When Suisui called out to her, Feng Youtan subconsciously replied, "Hey!"

After responding, she frowned and said impatiently, "You, come here!"

Suisui wasn't sure if she was being addressed, so she looked around and, realizing it was probably her, took two obedient steps forward.

As Suisui approached with her round, curious eyes, Feng Youtan couldn't resist reaching out and pinching her cheek.

There wasn't much meat on it, but it was soft and tender.

Smooth and supple, it felt delightful.

Although Feng Youtan's own face was equally pleasant to touch, with its plumpness providing an even more satisfying sensation, there was no fun in caressing her own face.

It was much more enjoyable to touch someone else's.

Feng Youtan found the texture pleasing and decided to allow herself this small indulgence.

Just as she was enjoying herself, Lu Lianrong and the others returned, interrupting her. With a sigh, she turned back and saw that she had been caressing Suisui's face.

Noticing that she hadn't bullied anyone, Lu Lianrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, let's go change our clothes first. Your hair is still a mess."

Feng Youtan, satisfied from the touch of Suisui's face, nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay."

After saying that, she prepared to follow Lu Lianrong to change her clothes. However, seeing Suisui standing there motionless, she lifted her chin and said arrogantly, "You, follow me."

When Suisui didn't react, Feng Youtan became a little annoyed, furrowing her brows. Her voice turned sharp, "Are you listening? You're skinny like an underripe cucumber. Don't they feed you at Prince Qi's mansion?"

Suisui, confused, tilted her head, "Huh? I'm very full."

Feng Youtan felt that it was pointless to explain things to a child and simply said bluntly, "Come on, keep up, or you'll get lost and start crying, and I won't comfort you!"

Although Suisui didn't understand, she obediently followed along since her sister had told her to.

Seeing Suisui's expression, which clearly said, "I'm easy to bully," Feng Youtan felt a mix of frustration and pity.

As they walked, she muttered, "You're a princess. You need to be fierce, or people won't respect you!"

Suisui: ?

The little girl didn't understand and tilted her head in thought for a while before revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth and attempting to look fierce.

However, instead of looking scary, she looked incredibly adorable.

Feng Youtan was left speechless.

She wanted to say, "You're not being scary; you're being cute."

But...

Suisui clearly didn't get it.

Feng Youtan grumbled in dissatisfaction, "You're like a little fool."

Suisui knew that being called a little fool was an insult, so she whispered back defiantly, "I am not!"

This time, there was a hint of fierceness in her voice.

Feng Youtan nodded in approval, "That's more like it. Be fierce, yeah, rawr!"

Feng Youtan bared her small white teeth, revealing her pink gums, but instead of looking fierce, she looked rather cute.

Even Feng Youtan herself realized that she didn't look intimidating at all.

She quickly tried out various other expressions.

Unfortunately, none of them worked.

Finally, she huffed in frustration, "Forget it, forget it, just figure it out yourself. Just remember to be fierce! Rawr!"

That final "rawr" from Feng Youtan startled Suisui.

Seeing Suisui looking like a startled Pokemon, Feng Youtan took a step back, her eyes widening in surprise. "You look so funny like that!"

Suisui didn't understand why her sister was laughing.

But that didn't stop her from joining in the fun and laughing along.

Feng Youtan quickly changed into a new outfit, and Ying Zhi had her hair redone and changed into new clothes as well.

For now, the two little girls had made up.

As for whether they would start fighting again later?

Who knew?

For the time being, things seemed fine.

The two little princesses had no intention of returning to the banquet hall.

A group of adults were insincerely socializing there, and it all felt so annoying.

Feng Youtan couldn't be bothered to deal with such pretentious gatherings, and if it weren't for the news that Ying Zhi would be coming out to play, she wouldn't have bothered to ask her mother, the Empress, for permission to leave the palace.

Now that she was out, Feng Youtan realized that things weren't as fun as she had imagined, and she began to regret her decision.

However...

The little princess, aware of her own regrets, turned her head arrogantly towards Suisui.

Ever since meeting Suisui, she felt that interesting things had increased considerably.

The young princesses were unwilling to return, and their entourage of servants could only follow along.

Aunt Xiang was somewhat worried. One was a princess, and the other was the only young lady of the Grand Princess' manor. Each of them held an extremely noble status.

Interacting with each other could be quite troublesome.

She hoped they wouldn't bully the younger girl.

After all, Suisui was still the only daughter of the Qi Prince's Manor, and her identity was equally noble.

Therefore, it was impossible to allow them to bully her.

With these thoughts in mind, Aunt Xiang felt slightly more at ease.

Initially, the three little girls quietly admired the flowers, grass, and the lotuses that were about to bloom.

However, they soon lost interest and, before anyone knew it, they had found some simple tools and started digging in the soil.

They had chosen to dig in the very garden that Lu Lianrong loved.

Lu Lianrong watched, her eyelids twitching, as either Ying Zhi or Feng Youtan took the first shovel of soil.

However, she didn't dare to stop them and could only smile and gently remind them, "This is Aunt Lu's favorite garden. How about we find another spot to dig?"

Feng Youtan tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.

Ying Zhi also looked at Feng Youtan, awaiting her response.

Feng Youtan certainly wasn't afraid. She thought for a moment and whispered, "It's fine. We'll just fill it back in when we're done. Aunt Lu is very generous and won't hold it against us."

Ying Zhi was younger than Feng Youtan in terms of generational hierarchy, and she agreed, "Yes, yes, yes. We'll fill it back in. It won't affect anything. At most, I'll dig up the flowers in Mother's garden and compensate Aunt Lu with those."

Lu Lianrong: ...

Not knowing how to advise them, she could only let the children be.

Feng Youtan wanted to dig, and Ying Zhi was on board as well.

Suisui, being younger and less familiar with the Lu family, didn't understand and simply followed along.

She lagged behind, and her slow progress and frequent mistakes drew criticism from the others.

Lu Lianrong tried to stop them but failed. She could only stay by their side, doing her best to ensure the children's safety.

Feng Youtan was in good shape, and her small face soon glistened with sweat as she breathed heavily. Despite this, her enthusiasm didn't wane in the slightest. "Haha, Ying Zhi, you're too slow!"

She deliberately drew out her words, intending to provoke her cousin.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zhi's competitive spirit ignited.

How could she be slow?

She dug faster and faster!

Lu Lianrong watched the three children, unsure how to counsel them. She could only pray that they wouldn't hurt themselves.

Feng Youtan had the most robust build, and her small face soon flushed with exertion, her breathing turning rapid. Yet, her enthusiasm remained undimmed. "Haha, you're so slow, Ying Zhi!"

She deliberately stretched out her words, clearly goading her cousin.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zhi's competitive spirit was sparked.

How could she be slow?

She dug faster and faster!

Lu Lianrong watched, her heart in her mouth, as she saw either Ying Zhi or Feng Youtan take the first shovel of soil.

However, she didn't dare to intervene, and she could only smile and gently remind them, "This garden belongs to your Aunt Lu. Shall we find another spot to dig?"

Feng Youtan tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought, while Ying Zhi waited for her response.

Feng Youtan certainly wasn't afraid. She thought for a moment and whispered, "It's fine. We'll just fill it back in afterward. Aunt Lu is very generous and won't hold it against us."

Ying Zhi was younger than Feng Youtan in terms of generational hierarchy, and she agreed, "Yes, that's right. We'll fill it back in. It won't affect anything. At most, I'll just dig up some flowers from Mother's garden and give them to Aunt Lu as compensation."

Lu Lianrong: ...

Unsure of how to advise them, she could only let the children be.
