Chapter 234 Rare and Exotic Beasts

At this moment, the chief eunuch Qingxiang quietly walked to the emperor's side and reported in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Princess Jianing is waiting outside the palace."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of the matter.

Not long after, a woman in bright red clothes walked slowly in from outside the hall.

Tiantian's attention was instantly attracted, and she stared at the woman, completely stunned.

Because this was the first time in her life that she had seen a woman who could wear red clothes so vividly and beautifully.

That bright red, like a burning flame, instantly lights up the entire palace, making it impossible to ignore its existence.

"Your son pays homage to the Emperor." Princess Jianing walked slowly up to the Emperor with light lotus steps, bowed gracefully, and performed a standard court etiquette with elegant and dignified movements before slowly standing up.

When she raised her head, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a little girl as delicate as a piece of jade in her father's arms.

"Wow!" Princess Jianing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and an ecstatic smile instantly bloomed on her face. Then, like a happy little deer, she ran straight towards the emperor.

When she got closer, she stared at the extremely cute little girl in front of her with joy, her eyes full of curiosity and love.

The little girl called Tiantian looked back at Princess Jianing without fear. Her big watery eyes were clear and transparent, like two sparkling gems inlaid on her pink cheeks.

"Beautiful sister." Tiantian spoke in a sweet and childish voice, her voice clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

Princess Jianing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was overjoyed. She couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently pinched Tiantian's face. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and she praised: "You are such a sweet girl."

The emperor, who had been watching the two's interaction with a smile, finally spoke. With a kind expression on his face, he said to Princess Jianing, "Jia Ning, Tiantian is a very intelligent child. I just tested her on questions about agriculture and people's livelihoods, and I didn't expect her to be able to answer them so fluently and without any stage fright."

Princess Jianing was immediately filled with astonishment when she heard this. She turned away in disbelief and looked at Tiantian again, praising her, "Oh? That's amazing!" Then she asked with great interest, "Tiantian, tell me, what kind of books do you like to read?"

Tiantian blinked her bright eyes and answered sweetly, "Sister, the books I read are the ones my third uncle gave me."

"Oh." When Princess Jianing heard Tiantian mention Yun Tingqing, the bright smile on her face, which was as bright as a blooming spring flower, disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if blown by a sudden cold wind.

The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and her eyes became somewhat dim, as if something heavy was weighing on her heart.

Tiantian couldn't help feeling surprised and confused when she saw Princess Jianing's sudden change.

You know, before this, Princess Jianing and her third uncle Yun Tingqing were close friends! They often talked and laughed together, played and had fun together, and their close friendship was something anyone could envy.

But why did Princess Jianing show such a strange expression when she heard Yun Tingqing's name? Could it be that something unpleasant had happened between the two of them, causing a rift in their friendship?

Tiantian asked suspiciously, "Sister, did you have a fight with Uncle San?"

At this moment, the emperor who was sitting next to her suddenly lit up his eyes after hearing Tiantian's question. He quickly pricked up his ears and leaned forward slightly, looking as if he couldn't wait to hear the gossip about his daughter.

In response to Tiantian's concerned inquiry, Princess Jianing shook her head gently and replied calmly, "No." Although she said this, her expression could hardly conceal her true emotional fluctuations.

Tiantian was so clever, how could she not see the clues? However, Tiantian was not the type to ask questions or force others to do things. Since Princess Jianing was unwilling to say more, she naturally did not want to continue asking.

Just as a few people were chatting away, Murong Yunche, who had been standing quietly nearby, suddenly spoke up, "Uncle Emperor, is there anything new and interesting in the palace today? I'd like to take Tiantian to see it."

His voice was clear and resonant, as sweet and melodious as the sound of a yellow oriole escaping a valley. As he spoke, Murong Yunche's deep, ocean-like eyes gleamed with excitement and anticipation, as if filled with infinite yearning for the journey of exploration that was about to begin.

The emperor frowned slightly, stroked his chin thoughtfully, and after a pause, he slowly said: "I heard that a batch of rare and exotic animals in the world have been introduced to the Imperial Garden recently. If you are interested, you may go and see them." After that, he looked at everyone with a smile.

Hearing the emperor's words, Murong Yunche's eyes flashed with excitement. Without hesitation, he took Tiantian's hand and walked quickly towards the imperial garden. Princess Jianing, seeing this, immediately lifted her skirt and happily followed behind them.

After a while, the group arrived at the Imperial Garden.

As soon as she stepped into this beautiful garden, Tiantian was attracted by the various rare and exotic animals she had never seen before.

A gigantic peacock with vibrant fur gracefully spread its dazzling tail feathers; a few dainty squirrels frolic happily among the branches; and a majestic white tiger lazily sprawled on the grass, basking in the sun...

All of these animals amazed Tiantian. Her big, watery eyes were now even wider, as if she wanted to take in all the new things.

Princess Jianing couldn't help but smile when she saw Tiantian's surprised look, and then she began to introduce everyone to her patiently.

Princess Jianing explained everything from the name and habits of each animal to their unique living environment and lifestyle.

Tiantian listened intently, occasionally letting out a cry of amazement. Murong Yunche stood aside, quietly watching this warm and harmonious scene, his lips unconsciously raised.

In this way, the three people admired the beautiful scenery in the garden while listening to Princess Jianing's vivid and interesting explanation, bursting into laughter from time to time.

In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, time passed quietly, and before they knew it, they had spent an extremely wonderful time together.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened and dark clouds gathered. Princess Jianing looked up at the sky and said worriedly, "I'm afraid it's going to rain. Let's go back quickly." Murong Yunche responded and turned back, pulling Tiantian with him.

However, before we had walked far, raindrops as big as beans began to fall.

They hurriedly took shelter in a nearby pavilion.

Although the pavilion can shelter from the rain, it is a bit simple and a slight chill comes when the wind blows.

Murong Yunche hurriedly took off his outer robe and put it on Tiantian, who thanked him with a blushing face.

Princess Jianing jokingly said, "Brother really knows how to take care of people."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping for a while.

Tiantian was a little anxious because she had promised her great-grandfather that she would go back to eat with him. (Yes, because Tiantian ate very well and made people look very appetizing, she became her great-grandfather's dinner partner.)

Murong Yunche saw what she was thinking and comforted her, "Don't worry, wait until the rain subsides and I'll have someone take you back."

Tiantian had no choice but to nod.

In the pavilion, the three of them talked about the animals they had seen before, recalling the happy times just now. The sound of rain seemed to become a beautiful accompaniment. The anxiety just now gradually dissipated, leaving only a faint sense of comfort.
