Chapter 128: This Is Me and My Father’s Little Secret

“Who taught you all this?” Rong Zhan asked.

“What’s so rare about this? I’m much smarter than you think, father. Father, just promise me.” Rong Han hugged Rong Zhan’s arm and swayed back and forth, blinking her big, watery eyes and acting coquettishly.

“It depends on your performance. Let’s keep this a secret. Go and get dressed and wash up. It’s time for breakfast.” Rong Zhan patted Rong Han’s head.

“Okay!” Rong Han was overjoyed. He put on his clothes and shoes obediently and went out to ask Gu Qingxue to help him wash up.

Gu Qingxue did not know about this at all. After she helped Rong Han wash up, she led him to the dining room.

Rong Han had a big appetite today. After eating breakfast, he drank a big bowl of bitter medicine, which was rare for him. It was so bitter that his eyebrows were twisted into a knot.

Gu Qingxue felt sorry for him, so she stuffed the hawthorn cake into Rong Han’s mouth. “Our Lil’ Han is so brave today. You drank all the bitter medicine in one go.”

“Hehe, I will drink the medicine obediently from now on. My father and I have an agreement. As long as I am obedient, my father will promise me…” As Rong Han said this, he seemed to have suddenly realized something, she raised her small hand and covered her mouth.

It was so dangerous that she almost let it slip.

“Hmm? What did your father promise you?” Gu Qingxue came closer and asked curiously.

Rong Han shook his head nervously. “I can’t tell you. This is my little secret with my father. You’ll know it when the time comes!”

Gu Qingxue could not help but laugh. She said with a smile, “Well, we’ll talk about it when the time comes. Where do you want to go today?”

“It’s time for me to read and write. Fairy, come with me.” Rong Han held Gu Qingxue’s hand affectionately.

Gu Qingxue stole a glance at Rong Zhan from the corner of her eyes.

Rong Zhan was sitting at the dining table, having tea after dinner. He did not seem to notice her.

Seeing this, Gu Qingxue let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that she could still stay in the royal mansion today.

Gu Qingxue let out a sigh of relief. After saying yes to Rong Han with a smile, she took his hand and left with him.

Along the way, she chatted and laughed with Rong Han. Gu Qingxue saw the swing in the courtyard as soon as she entered the Bitang Residence.

The smile on Gu Qingxue’s face disappeared immediately. She found that this swing was similar to the one she saw in her dream, except that the vermilion paint on it was brighter.

“Hello, Lady Gu. Hello, Your Highness.” Ji Yan was staking the swing and greeted them with a smile.

“Wow, Uncle Ji Yan, you made a swing for me!” Rong Han said with surprise.

“Yeah, didn’t Your Highness always want it?” As Ji Yan spoke, he looked at Gu Qingxue in confusion. “Lady Gu, what’s wrong? You don’t look well.”

“It’s nothing. I left in a hurry just now and my stomach hurt a little. Ji Yan, can I trouble you to get some medicine for me?” Gu Qingxue asked.

Ji Yan had always been warm-hearted and answered without hesitation, “Okay, Lady Gu, please wait a moment.”

After watching Ji Yan leave, Gu Qingxue patted Rong Han’s head. “Han’er, go play in the backyard first. I’ll come and look for you later.”

“Ah? But I want to play on the swing.” Rong Han looked at the swing with longing in his eyes.

“The swing is not ready yet. I’ll call you over when your Uncle Ji Yan comes back,” Gu Qingxue comforted him with a smile.

Rong Han looked at the swing reluctantly, “Well, well, you must remember to call me over.”

Rong Han finally left after getting Gu Qingxue’s guarantee.
