After a whole night of galloping, the horse under Murong Yunche's carriage was already panting, but he did not dare to stop for even a moment.

Finally, at dawn on the second morning, he saw from afar the Yun family's large army carriages slowly moving forward.

"Tiantian, look over there!" Hua Niang called her daughter softly, looking at her unhappy little face with worried eyes.

Hua Niang knew very well that the child was still angry about Murong Yunche coming to celebrate the birthdays of her third uncle and younger uncle together a few days ago.

"Mom, what's going on over there?" Tiantian looked in the direction of Hua Niang's finger with a look of suspicion on her face.

However, Hua Niang just smiled and shook her head without saying anything.

Seeing this, Tiantian quickly turned her head, wanting to find out what was going on.

At this moment, a picturesque scene came into her eyes - a young man who looked a little tired and dusty was standing quietly in the crystal clear morning dew.

Even though he was covered in dust at the moment, it was still difficult to conceal the handsome look between his brows.

The moment her sweet eyes met Murong Yunche's figure, a faint smile involuntarily climbed up the corners of her pink lips.

But in a flash, as if recalling some unpleasant memories, the smile that had just appeared quickly disappeared, replaced by a cold and expressionless face.

Murong Yunche knew very well in his heart that Tiantian must have seen him, but the strange thing was that this time she did not trot over to him happily like she did in the past.

He muttered to himself: It seems this little girl is still angry! But fortunately, Murong Yunche was not unprepared. He turned around calmly and slowly walked towards the carriage, his movements elegant and steady.

After entering the carriage, he carefully took out the Lizhi that he had brought out from the palace.

The fruits are plump, bright in color, and emit an alluring fragrance, as if they were specially prepared to please a little princess.

However, Tiantian didn't care about these things at the moment. Seeing that her little brother not only didn't come to comfort her, but went back to the carriage on his own, the anger in her heart rose even more.

So she pouted, ran back to the carriage angrily, and hid in a corner to sulk.

It really is true what the old saying goes, getting angry seems to be a girl's innate nature. No matter how old they are, they will throw a tantrum as long as things don't go their way.

Murong Yunche walked out of the carriage with Lizhi, and looked happily towards the place where Tiantian had just stood, wanting to give her a surprise.

But no matter how I looked, I couldn't even find Tiantian's petite figure.

Murong Yunche was now a little anxious, and hurriedly asked Hua Niang beside him: "Auntie Hua, where is sister Tiantian?" As he spoke, his eyes revealed a trace of worry and anxiety.

Hua Niang looked at the handsome young man in front of her who was so concerned about her daughter and couldn't help but smile slightly, then stretched out her finger and gently pointed in the direction of the carriage.

Seeing this, Murong Yunche hurriedly thanked Hua Niang: "Thank you, Aunt Hua." Before he finished speaking, he had already quietly run towards the carriage where Tiantian was like an agile deer.

Tiantian leaned lazily on the soft seat of the carriage, her eyes closed, seemingly dozing off, but she knew very well in her heart that Murong Yunche had already arrived outside the carriage.

Just now, she clearly heard Murong Yunche talking to her mother. However, at this moment, she had no intention of paying any attention to him.

When Tiantian thought about what happened that day, she couldn't help but feel resentful.

That day, she waited for him foolishly for the entire day, from the first ray of sunlight in the early morning until the night completely enveloped the earth.

And he not only didn't show up as promised, he even forgot to send someone to inform her! How could Tiantian not be angry?

"Is Tiantian asleep?" Murong Yunche asked softly while standing outside the carriage. His tone was as gentle as possible, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping beauty.

But Tiantian still kept her lips tightly shut and said nothing. She wanted to see what this guy who had annoyed her was going to do next.

Seeing no movement inside the carriage, Murong Yunche hurriedly explained, "Tiantian, listen to me. That morning, before dawn, my uncle summoned me to the palace. Once inside, I was busy all day, and only had the chance to leave the palace and go home at night. I was so worried, I was afraid you'd be waiting there foolishly. So, I specifically ordered the servants in the palace to come quickly and pass on a message to you."

"Hmph, Tiantian, I haven't seen anyone come to your house!" Tiantian could no longer suppress her dissatisfaction. She sat up straight away, her eyes wide open, and retorted to Murong Yunche angrily.

"Early in the morning, before it was even completely light, I couldn't wait to send my servants to your place. Tiantian, if you don't believe me, you can ask the housekeeper."

Murong Yunche frowned at this moment, thinking to himself, I wonder what the servants in this mansion are doing. They can't even handle such a small matter properly.

It seems that when I return to the capital next time, I must thoroughly clean up these people in the mansion.

Tiantian stared intently at Murong Yunche's sincere face, thinking that there must be some misunderstanding in this matter.

After all, Tiantian has always been a broad-minded and generous person, so how could she be so narrow-minded and petty? Of course, it was definitely not because she saw Murong Yunche brought an exquisite food box that Tiantian chose to forgive him!!!

Then, Tiantian said in a clear and sweet voice like a yellow oriole singing in a valley: "Tiantian naturally believes in brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, a smile as bright and sweet as a spring flower blossomed on her face. At the same time, two playful and cute dimples appeared faintly on her cheeks.

Seeing this, Murong Yunche gently reached out his hand and stroked Tiantian's soft and silky hair. Then he carefully handed the food box to Tiantian and said softly, "Tiantian, open it and take a look."

Tiantian nodded happily, then gently opened the lid of the food box.

Suddenly, a burst of sweet fragrance filled her nose. Tiantian took a closer look and couldn't help but cheer in surprise: "Wow, little brother, you are really amazing. You actually helped Tiantian find these delicious lychees!"

Murong Yunche scratched the back of his head shyly and said softly, "The other day, while I was strolling around the Imperial Palace, I stumbled upon this strange fruit. My uncle told me it was a tribute from a foreign country, called 'Lizhi'. When I heard the name, I thought it was quite similar to the 'lychee' you mentioned. I couldn't help but think of bringing it back for you to see if it was the fruit you'd been dreaming of."

You should know that in ancient times, once lychees were ripe, they were extremely difficult to pick. If you were not careful, the flesh would be damaged, affecting the taste and quality.

Therefore, people often have to carefully cut it off together with the branches and leaves with a sharp knife, hence the unique name "Lizhi".
