Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Figured it Out

"Is everyone here?"

Just at that moment, Yan Lian and Jian Yun appeared in front of them.

"Yes, we were just missing you two," Chu Baihan said with a smile.

"Come here, Xixi, give your Ninth Uncle a hug."

Yan Lian waved Chu Junxi over.

Ever since he had discovered that this little fellow was the Eighth Prince’s son, Yan Lian had become especially fond of him.

Looking at Yan Lian’s face, which was all smiles, Chu Junxi’s little face darkened.

He said haughtily, "Ninth Uncle, I’m not a child anymore. I don’t need your hugs."

"You little rascal, how can you say you’re not a child at your age?" Yan Lian said sternly.

He couldn’t outwit the Emperor, but how could he not handle teasing Little Tuanzi?

Staring at Chu Junxi’s little face, which bore a striking resemblance to the Eighth Prince’s, he secretly snickered in his heart.

He often suffered from the Eighth Prince’s teasing during his own childhood...

Hehehe, he didn’t have the courage or ability to confront the Eighth Prince,

but handling a Little Tuanzi, he was certainly capable.

Prince Lian had no idea that in the near future, he would pay the price for his foolish thoughts tonight.

The child of the Great Demon King is also a Little Demon King.

If he couldn’t beat the Great Demon King, how could he possibly beat the Little Demon King?

Seeing Yan Lian’s mischievous smile, Chu Junxi, Little Tuanzi, scrunched up his little face.

So, Ninth Uncle is a fool.

It seemed he needed to remind his sister and the Empress not to get too close to Ninth Uncle, as foolishness could be contagious.

"Ahem, Ninth Prince, could you not smile at Xixi so..."

Jian Yun really couldn’t stand to watch any longer and reluctantly started to speak up.

But no matter what, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words "sleazy" and "foolish."

"Everyone, please take a seat," Chu Baihan said softly.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a huge stone table that could seat many people.

"Nan Xing, Ruolan, as well as Ziyi and Ziwu, please take a seat," Chu Baihan looked back at the people behind her and continued softly.

"Princess, given our status as servants..." Ruolan frowned, wanting to say that it was not suitable for them to sit at the table.

Chu Baihan’s expression turned serious as she earnestly said, "Haven’t we always celebrated the festivals together in the past? This year, with King Lin, King Lian, and the Crown Prince here, you needn’t be so formal. Sit down, consider it a command from me."

Hearing her words, Ruolan and the others exchanged glances, then quickly brought chairs over and sat down.

"Mother, aren’t we celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival with Grand Emperor this year?"

Chu Junxi, seeing so many people lively gathered, suddenly thought of the individual back in the palace.

At Chu Junxi’s words, many faces at the table changed.

The atmosphere instantly became oppressive.

But as no one wanted these two little ones to feel burdened, Nan Li said with a smile, "Tonight, the Grand Emperor is busy. We will first celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival here at the Princess Residence, and when there is time, we will visit him in the palace, alright?"

"Okay, I haven’t met Grand Emperor yet," Yan Jingjing said in a gentle voice.

After she said this, everyone’s expressions changed again.

The smile on Chu Baihan’s face faded slightly, and her eyes grew colder.

Indeed...

Jingjing hadn’t met her grandfather yet.

Previously, to emphasize his affection for her, her father had deliberately asked Xixi to call him "Grand Emperor" instead of "grandfather."

But now, she found it all rather ironic.

He was indeed the Emperor, yet...

He wasn’t the father she wanted.

"Princess Residence, someone just came from the palace and the Emperor has sent many rewards." At that moment, Nan Xing whispered.

Undoubtedly, the Emperor was trying hard to mend his relationship with the Princess Residence and the Crown Prince.

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan’s eyes grew even colder.

"This princess knows," she said.

Yan Jingjing had not yet noticed the tense atmosphere, but Chu Junxi, sitting next to Chu Baihan, quickly realized it.

Her little face frowned.

It seems...

The troubles her mother was facing recently were related to the Great Emperor.

"Mother, I want that." He pointed his finger at the pastry not far away, then turned his head and spoke obediently to Chu Baihan.

Seeing him like this, what else could Chu Baihan not understand?

He was deliberately changing the subject to keep her from being upset.

She chuckled softly, looking down, and the gloom in her heart also vanished.

With such an understanding daughter, a husband, and a brother, and so many who cared about her and whom she cared about, what did it matter if she lacked her father’s affection?

She was overthinking it.

"Alright, mother will get it for you," Chu Baihan said as she got up, intending to fetch the pastry.

But at that moment, she remembered that she still had a wound on her hand.

Suddenly, a piece of pastry was placed on the plate in front of her, while a piece was also placed on Little Tuanzi’s plate by Nan Li.

Chu Baihan turned her head and realized that it was Yan Lin who had fetched the pastry for her, and Nan Li for Little Tuanzi.

"Thank you, Uncle," Little Tuanzi politely thanked him.

"What would you like to eat? Your hand is inconvenient, let me fetch it for you," Yan Lin said softly.

"Then I won’t be polite." With that, Chu Baihan began directing Yan Lin to fetch all the things she wanted to eat.

All the while, Yan Lin’s gaze did not show the slightest impatience.

"Right, I was wondering why someone was missing; where are Tang Yu, and Tang Zishen?"

Suddenly remembering this, Chu Baihan anxiously spoke.

"Nan Xing, where have Tang Yu and Tang Zishen gone?" she asked, looking up at Nan Xing.

"To report to the Princess Residence, Tang Zishen has gone out to collect herbs. Tang Yu is with him for protection," Nan Xing hurriedly responded.

Hearing Nan Xing’s reply, Chu Baihan then recalled...

She still needed to continue applying medicine to her hand, but some herbs were not available at the Princess Residence.

Therefore, Tang Zishen had volunteered to go out and collect them.

When he left, he also asked her to help find a helper.

Although Tang Yu was skilled in martial arts, he did not understand medicine and could not help him identify herbs.

Therefore, she had Chen Yuexin go with him.

The girl understood herbs and was a good assistant.

Just then, a servant came to report that Tang Zishen and the others had returned.

"Let them come in," Chu Baihan instructed.

Soon, Tang Zishen and the others appeared before them.

They all looked travel-worn, but it was clear that they were excited.

"Master, I have found all the herbs," Tang Zishen said excitedly as soon as he saw Chu Baihan.

"You’ve worked hard," Chu Baihan nodded to him.

"It was no trouble at all; thanks to this girl, I almost recognized the wrong herbs, but she reminded me," Tang Zishen said excitedly, pointing to Chen Yuexin behind him.

"This princess indeed made the right choice," Chu Baihan said, smiling and nodding at Chen Yuexin.

Chen Yuexin remained calm, speaking softly, "Since the Princess values this servant, I naturally cannot bring you shame."

"Alright, you haven’t eaten, have you? Come and sit down," Chu Baihan had the servants add three chairs, then invited them to come over.
