Chapter 11: Since You Like It, I’ll Give It to You

Su Nuan was elated to see the hamster.

There were countless delicious foods in the supermarket, but there was nothing that fun to play with.

This living thing before her eyes was a ready-made bundle of fun.

Su Nuan lifted her skirt by the hem with her fair fingers and carefully approached the hamster. Zhen Zhu’s eyes widened as she trembled. “Your Majesty, you…”

“Shh… Don’t scare it away.”

She moved closer. The hamster didn’t seem to be afraid of people, and it continued to nibble at the pastry in its paws. Su Nuan held the soft, furry, cute thing in her palm.

The little thing ate the pastries seriously and stared at her with its dark eyes.. Then, it began pacing restlessly in her palm because it saw an unfamiliar face.

Finally, the hamster finished eating the pastry and was anxious to leave.

“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. I have good food.”

Since Zhen Zhu distanced herself from far away, Su Nuan took out a few peanuts and placed them in her palm. When the little hamster saw the food, it immediately calmed down and continued eating the peanuts.

Su Nuan squatted there, looking at the little hamster in her palm.

“Is it cute?”

Su Nuan did not notice that someone had approached her and replied, “It’s very cute. Its claws are cute, its pink nose is cute, and its furry body is cute too.”

She stroked the hamster as she spoke. Then she looked up and saw a young boy standing in front of her.

The boy was about 10 years old. He was dressed in a navy blue robe embroidered with dark patterns. A white jade belt was tied around his waist. His hair stood on end, his lips were red, and his teeth were pearly white. He looked down at her arrogantly.

Su Nuan knew that people dressed like this were either rich or noble.

Although she had been living an idle life the past few days, she still learned some things about the palace from Zhen Zhu.

Whether it was his looks, age, or aura, he resembled the Third Prince Feng Linche, whom she had heard of.

Feng Linche was extremely unhappy to see his little pet held in the hands of a little girl. However, this girl happened to be adorable, so he simply said, “Which palace are you from? How dare you capture my pet?”

Su Nuan was dressed simply today, and they had never seen met before, so it was normal that Feng Linche did not recognize her.

It was rumored that the Third Prince had the closest relationship with the Emperor. Even his temper was as bad as the Emperor’s, and he had killed several palace maids and eunuchs.

She looked at Feng Linche with her big eyes and said with a smile, “This little one was so cute that I couldn’t help but carry it. I didn’t know that this was the Third Prince’s pet. Here, I’ll return it to you now.”

She walked forward and placed the hamster into Feng Linche’s hands. Feng Linche was stunned.

He looked at the young, fair girl and asked curiously, “How did you know that I’m the Third Prince?”

When he thought about it again, he realized that there probably weren’t many people in the palace who did not know his name, Feng Linche. So, it wouldn’t be strange for this little palace maid to know him.

“Among all the princes and princesses in the palace, the most elegant one, besides Big Brother Emperor, is the Third Prince. That’s why I recognized you at first glance.”

Feng Linche felt a little smug. “Of course. Oh right, you haven’t told me which palace you’re from.”

Feng Linche asked casually as he stroked the soft fur of the hamster.

Su Nuan continued softly, “I’m from Fengqi Palace.”

Feng Linche nodded. “So you’re a maid from Fengqi Palace. I heard the Empress is only 10 years old. You…”

He looked at the soft and cute young girl in front of him and compared her to the palace maid beside her. How can she be a palace maid? He couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t tell me you’re the little Empress?”

“Yes. Why?”

Feng Linche’s heart almost jumped out of his throat. He heard that the Emperor seemed fond of the little Empress. He had always been curious about what the Empress looked like, but he was caught off guard today. His heart thumped loudly against his chest.

No wonder the Emperor liked the Empress. If it were him, he would like her too.

She had a thin and petite body, a pair of big clear eyes, and a soft voice when she spoke. She was much cuter than his pet.

“Nothing much. Since you like this little fellow, I’ll give it to you.”

Although he was quite reluctant to part with the hamster, he still decided on it when seeing the young Empress.

Su Nuan was shocked that the Third Prince was willing to give her his little pet. But before she could say anything, the Third Prince remarked, “Only girls like these furry little things. I just picked it up in passing. I can’t even cook and eat this thing, so I’ll leave it with the Empress.”

He spoke as if there was nothing wrong at all.

“I will accept it then. Thank you, Your Highness.”

Su Nuan took it happily. She loved the cute little thing.

Feng Linche felt that it was a rather beautiful sight. When he saw them, he saw a small dumpling caressing an adorable furball. It was a unique sight.

The little eunuch who was by his side was dumbfounded. The hamster was the Prince’s favorite. Whenever he held it in his palm, no one else was allowed to touch it. And yet, he gave it away without batting an eyelid.

However, the little eunuch dared not say a thing to the devil incarnate. He only stood by the side with a bow, respectfully waiting.

But then again, the young Empress was indeed cute. She had a rosy little face and wore a bun on her head. When she blinked her big eyes, she looked like a little fairy. His heart almost melted when she smiled.

There were many princesses in the palace, but none of them were so lovable.

Finally, the hamster in her palm finished eating the peanuts. Su Nuan stood up and patted her skirt. “Your Highness, it’s getting late. I should return to the palace,” she said to Feng Linche.

Feng Linche looked at her and felt a little reluctant. He wanted to ask if the Empress would still come to the imperial garden to play in the future. However, he remembered that the Empress was the mistress of the palace. She could come and go as she pleased, so there was no need to ask.

He was unaware that Su Nuan was a homebody. Fengqi Palace was big, and her bed was comfortable. If she didn’t have to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager every day, she would never step out.

Su Nuan carried the hamster back happily. When she reached the door, she stuffed the hamster into her sleeve.

The Emperor was usually cold and distant. If she showed him the hamster to play with, he might be happy.

And if he was happy, he might reward her with something good.

A few palace maids were waiting at the door. When they saw her return, they all knelt in neat rows. Su Nuan had been here for so long and grew used to it. She waved her hand and walked in.

Feng Junyi was still sleeping on the bed, lying on his side. He had a long and slender body, with thick and long eyebrows. His high nose bridge and deep-set eyes exuded gentleness when she moved closer to look at him.

Su Nuan thought, When the little tyrant is not fierce, he’s very charming.

Just as she wanted to take a closer look, Feng Junyi’s closed eyes suddenly fluttered open.
