Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Chapter 18: The Infatuated Emperor and His Love-Brained Concubine (17)

Having made up her mind, Sui Ning returned to the cold palace.

Seeing Liuliu guarding the house obediently, Sui Ning asked, "Is Xiao Huai back?"

Liuliu shook his head and said, "No."

I don’t know what Xiao Huai is busy with these days. He goes out early and comes back late, and I basically never see him.

If Eunuch Fu had not checked that he was not injured, he would have thought that Xiao Huai was being bullied outside.

"Forget it, I'll go find him. Liuliu, you go to the imperial kitchen to get the food."

As she spoke, Sui Ning began to search for someone in the cold palace.

Liuliu ran all the way to the imperial kitchen, as if she was familiar with the route.

When passing by a toilet, Sui Ning found that it was filled with toilets and the unpleasant smell went straight to his head.

She was about to turn around and leave, but Sui Ning spotted a thin figure among the piles of toilets.

Xiao Huai was seen holding a whisk in one hand, diligently cleaning the toilet bowl, which was much thicker than his waist.

Without any sunshade, the sun made Xiao Huai's face red and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

But he didn't care, and he rinsed one toilet after another as if he was tireless.

Sui Ning didn't know how long she had been standing outside watching, but she just felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.

Xiao Huai stood up, his voice a little hoarse, "Grandpa, today is the last day. Look, I have already cleaned all the toilets that need to be cleaned."

The eunuch nodded with satisfaction and handed Xiao Huai an exquisitely crafted umbrella. "Thank you for your hard work these past few days. This is the umbrella you asked for."

He was just a eunuch in charge of cleaning the toilet.

A few days ago, he asked someone to bring in an umbrella from outside the palace, intending to give it to his concubine in the palace.

But who knew that he was seen by this kid, who wanted to exchange the umbrella for his help in flushing the toilet.

At first he didn't want to bother with this kid. He knew his background and naturally didn't want to cause trouble.

But this kid was very capable, and in the end he was moved by sympathy and asked the kid to come over every day when everyone else was on duty.

At first, he was just waiting to see how long this guy could last.

Unexpectedly, this kid didn't complain or feel tired, and he finished flushing all the toilets without saying a word.

He even checked it carefully and washed it thoroughly, but couldn't find any fault.

"Thank you, eunuch." Xiao Huai thanked him sincerely.

The young eunuch waved his hand and told him not to make the matter public.

Seeing Xiao Huai coming out, Sui Ning quickly hid to the side.

When Xiao Huai was the emperor, he paid great attention to his image. Now he probably doesn't want her to see him like this.

Before going back, Xiao Huai found a place to change into clean clothes, then he held the umbrella tightly in his hand and hurried towards the cold palace.

Seeing this, Sui Ning also quickened his pace and returned to the house before Xiao Huai.

Liu Liu was sitting at the table, sweating profusely, placing the meal he had brought back from the imperial kitchen on the table.

Every time I go to the imperial kitchen, I have to play a game of hide-and-seek. It's so tiring!

Fortunately, it didn't take much food each time, so the people in the imperial kitchen haven't noticed it yet.

Sui Ning and Xiao Huai came back one after another.

Seeing Sui Ning sitting at the table, Xiao Huai felt nervous for the first time.

He mustered up his courage, sat down next to Sui Ning with a normal expression, and handed her the umbrella. "Sister, this is for you."

"For... me?" Sui Ning asked in disbelief.

She had thought of many possibilities for why he wanted an umbrella, but she had never imagined that he would actually give it to her.

Feeling Sui Ning's gaze, Xiao Huai felt a little embarrassed.

"I saved some money earlier. I asked the guards outside the palace gate to bring it in for me. You can use it."

But she doesn't need an umbrella at all?

and many more!

Did he think she was a female ghost, so...

Thinking of this, Sui Ning smiled and asked, "You don't think I can't stand the sun, so you gave me an umbrella, do you?"

Xiao Huai looked up in confusion, his eyes clearly saying, isn't it?

That’s what the old people in the palace all said.

And he had indeed never seen Sui Ning walk out during the day in the past few days.

"I can walk normally in the sunlight." Sui Ning said, then pulled Xiao Huai out of the house.

The girl in the sunshine smiles brightly, looking particularly gentle and charming.

Looking at Sui Ning's shadow cast on the ground, Xiao Huai realized that he had made a fool of himself.

Since she is not a female ghost, she must be a fairy.

Even if it is a monster, it is a top-notch monster.

"Then do you still want to give me the umbrella now?" Sui Ning asked.

Xiao Huai looked into Sui Ning's eyes, the tips of his ears slightly reddened, "Since you've decided to give it to me, it belongs to me."

Seeing Xiao Huai like this, Sui Ning felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Then, Xiao Huai asked nervously, "Do you like this umbrella?"

Sui Ning inexplicably felt that he looked a little cute at the moment. "I like it, I like it very much. This is the most precious gift I have ever received."

Hearing this, Xiao Huai showed a shy smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be filled with countless stars, shining brightly.

After everyone is present, the meal officially begins.

At the dinner table, Xiao Huai picked up some food for Fu Quan. Although Eunuch Fu was a eunuch, Xiao Huai had already regarded him as his own relative after years of dependence on him.

Fuquan burst into tears instantly. If he was afraid of Suining before, he now felt more grateful to Suining.

Then Xiao Huai picked up some food for Sui Ning and looked at her expression.

Seeing that Sui Ning looked normal and had eaten all the dishes, Xiao Huai happily picked up the bowl and started eating.

At this time, Liuliu quit.

It has been busy for most of the day, why hasn't anyone picked up any food for it?

It pushed the bowl in front of Xiao Huai with dissatisfaction.

"Meow?" What about me?

After spending a few days together, Xiao Huai realized that this cat was quite intelligent and immediately understood what it meant.

Seeing the food in the bowl, Liuliu nodded with satisfaction.

"Meow meow meow." That's closer.

It was worth it for it to run errands for him these days.

Xiao Huai looked at the beautiful scene in front of him and felt sweet in his heart.

It’s great like this now!

After dinner, Sui Ning told Xiao Huai the news that the Turks would come to the court next month and asked, "Do you want to leave this cold palace?"

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes, then nodded firmly, "I want to."

He wanted to go out and ask Xiao Yan in person whether he had ever cared about his mother and him as a son?

He also wants to protect the people he cares about.

Sui Ning: "I can help you. I saw some books in your room these days. Can you read now?"

"Yeah, I learned it secretly."

He grew up in the cold palace and had no chance to learn to read.

Sometimes he would secretly hide under the window of the school and eavesdrop. The books were also those that other princes in the palace no longer wanted and were picked up by him after being thrown out by the palace maids.
