“Everything is wrong. This pool is wrong, the water pavilion is wrong, and that pool is wrong.” The young princess curled her fingers and counted carefully. In the end, she pointed. “You’re also wrong.” MO Yuan thought, “You’re the one in the wrong.”

If not for the fact that she knew that her princess could not hold back, she would have suspected that she was up to something again.

“Ah, my father is back.” The young princess suddenly looked somewhere.

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into a warm embrace.

Xuanyuan Ce brought her around the pool. He did not hear his daughter’s cheers as usual. He raised his eyebrows and sped up.

In a while, his daughter would definitely be so excited that she would shout,

“Father, fly higher!”

The young princess did not know what her father was thinking. She tugged at a strand of his hair and looked around. She asked curiously, “Father, why isn’t your hair white?”

Xuanyuan Ce’s pupils constricted, and his aura stagnated. He fell from the air and fell into the pool.

The cold water made him come back to his senses. He looked down and realized that his daughter was gone. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.

“Jiajia!” Xuanyuan Ce called out loudly and plunged into the water. He searched for a long time but to no avail. Just as he was feeling extremely anxious, a

bell-like laughter sounded above his head.

“Father is so powerful.”

Little Jiajia stood steadily on a lotus leaf, clapping her hands.

Xuanyuan Ce was speechless.

“Xuanyuan Yijia, you’re torturing your father again. ”

Ji Luo saw this scene as soon as she arrived and glared at Xuanyuan Ce, who was still struggling in the water. She flew over and brought Little Jiajia back to the waterside pavilion. Just as she was about to reprimand her, she was pounced on.

“Mother, I missed you so much.” Little Jiajia kissed her face.

Ji Luo made her stand up straight and said with a straight face, “You have to use this trick every time you make a mistake. This time, I definitely won’t…”

“It has nothing to do with my daughter. The weather is too hot. I’ll go and cool down.” Xuanyuan Ce walked over with a smile.

His entire body was drenched, and his hair was loose and dripping with water. He was clearly in a sorry state, but it did not hide his handsome appearance.

Little Jiajia’s eyes sparkled. “My father is so handsome.”

Ji Luo said angrily, “Just keep spoiling her. Let’s see when she’s going to tear down your residence.”

The father and daughter winked at each other and tacitly stopped talking back.

Xuanyuan Ce returned to his room and changed into clean clothes. He drank the ginger tea that his daughter had personally sent over. He was delighted, but at the same time, he was thinking about the reason why he fell into the water.

He coughed lightly. “Daughter, I’m asking you…”

Little Jiajia blinked her big eyes. “Ask away.” she thought.

Looking at her innocent appearance, Xuanyuan Ce stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Little Jiajia was enlightened. “Father wants to ask about white hair?”

Xuanyuan Ce nodded. Even he did not realize that he was nervous.

Little Jiajia rolled her eyes. “I think Grandmother has a lot of white hair. You’re Grandmother’s son. How can you not be the same?”

Normally, Xuanyuan Ce would definitely be able to tell that she was not telling the truth, but he was thinking about something else and naturally did not notice.

The father and daughter chatted for a while more. Xuanyuan Ce told her about the interesting things he had encountered when he went out with Ji Luo, and Little Jiajia asked a few questions from time to time.

“Father, I haven’t been to the palace to see Grandmother for a few days. I’ll go with you.”

She didn’t want to stay and be punished by her mother to practice calligraphy.

Xuanyuan Ce laughed out loud and did not refuse. It was mainly because he could not refuse any requests from his precious daughter.

After entering the palace, the father and daughter separated on the palace path. Xuanyuan Ce went straight to the imperial study, while Little Jiajia went to the Longevity Palace.

Watching her father leave, Little Jiajia looked confused. Her father’s reaction was wrong. His hair seemed to be wrong too.

She was still young. Why did she have so many worries?

Little Jiajia entered the Longevity Palace with a solemn expression and realized that something was wrong.

“Grandmother, where are the two big white geese?”

Empress Dowager Zhou was speechless. When had she ever raised any geese in the palace?

Nanny Gao smiled and said, “Princess, do you want to eat goose meat? I remember that there’s fresh goose meat in the imperial kitchen today. If you want to eat it, I’ll give the order.”

Little Jiajia sat opposite Empress Dowager Zhou, her short legs dangling in the air. She grabbed a pastry in each hand and took small bites, not saying anything..
