Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Such a Lovely Girl_1
Ai Jia watched unhappily, but Xiaojian had already started walking off with Ye Ning.
Mu Yeli gave Ai Jia a cold look, then followed them.
Angry, Ai Jia watched the three of them leave. Seeing the butler present, she asked him, "What’s going on with Xiaojian?"
The butler bowed his head, "The young Prince likes Madam Mu very much."
Ai Jia scoffed, "What’s there to like about her? I need to tell my mother; God knows what nonsense Xiaojian will learn by being with such a person".
She then left, flicking her sleeve dismissively.
The butler just shook his head.
Ye Ning followed Xiaojian to the back.
When she saw all the delicious food in the room, she exclaimed, "Wow, this place is great!"
Ye Ning bowed her head and started eating.
Xiaojian said, "Fairy Sister, you like eating, right? If you want, I’ll have people bring you more and more."
"You should eat too," said Ye Ning.
Xiaojian shook his head, "I can’t, my mother doesn’t let me eat too much."
"Why?" Ye Ning asked, looking at him.
Xiaojian said, "My mom says that eating too much will make me uncomfortably full." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Understanding dawned on Ye Ning; his mother was probably worried that eating too much would make him sick, considering his consistent poor health.
For a moment, she felt sorry for poor Xiaojian.
"Don’t worry, you are healthy now and you don’t need to eat less," she reassured him.
"But..." Xiaojian glanced at the people nearby, "They will tell my mother, and then she’ll be upset."
Ye Ning looked around again.
The guards were staring at her as if she were a thief.
Ye Ning wondered what she had done.
They seemed to think she would kidnap their young prince.
She felt bad for Xiaojian, who had lived in this environment since he was a child.
All his childhood was spent within the Royal Palace.
Though the palaces might differ, he was quite different from children outside the palace walls.
She took Xiaojian’s hand, "Once we get the chance, sister will take you out to eat."
"Really? Can we?"
"Of course, we can."
Xiaojian’s face lit up with excitement, which made Ye Ning feel even sadder for him.
At that moment.
Inside, in a space unseen by Ye Ning.
Queen Mang Ziqiong was gazing at the people outside, lost in thought.
Ye Ning was playing with Xiaojian.
Ye Ning looked joyful and Xiaojian seemed very happy.
For the first time, she saw such a look of excitement on Xiaojian’s face.
Due to Xiaojian’s poor health since birth, he was always a bit resentful, wasn’t talkative and didn’t usually smile.
But at this moment, Xiaojian seemed just like any other child.
She turned back, "Who is this?"
"Your Highness, this is Ye Ning, Madam Mu, who helped Prince Xiaojian."
It was her.
Mang Ziqiong thought that Xiaojian being this way was really good.
With a sigh, she said, "I wish Xiaojian had a sister who loved him like this. If only... if only our fourth princess was still..." frёeωebɳovel.com
"Your Highness..."
"Oh, I didn’t mean it like that. Let’s go, we shouldn’t disturb them."
The two walked away, but...
While eating, Ye Ning looked at Xiaojian and had a sudden thought, "Why wait around? Let’s take the bull by the horns; let’s go out now, what do you say?"
"Really?? Yes, yes, yes!"
Ye Ning looked around, then told Xiaojian, "Listen to my commands in a bit; I’ll lead the way."
Xiaojian’s little head bobbed in excited anticipation.
Ye Ning began making preparations.
