The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"go on."

Pei Zhiyan held the child's head with one hand and turned his gaze to Wu Xian, who was hesitant to speak. He had been listening to everything he had just said.

"Several ministers have secretly communicated with the rebels and are planning to rebel. Here is the list for your review."

Wu Xian presented him the list. These people were now trapped in the capital and had a hard time. Doing this was just a last-ditch effort.

But he couldn't understand what the seal holder was thinking. The world was in chaos and a tyrant was in power. Who would unify the dynasty in the future?

But he didn't dare to think too much about it. No matter who ascended the throne, he would not tolerate powerful eunuchs.

Pei Zhiyan picked up the list and unfolded it. The little guy in his arms clapped his hands heavily, raised his head and looked at him with round eyes.

"No nonsense!"

He moved the child's hand away from the letter, read it carefully, then closed it and threw it to Wu Xian.

"Let them do what they want, don't make a big fuss."

"My subordinate understands!"

The most painful thing is to let them feel hope and then cut it off with one blow.

After Wu Xian left, Yuanyuan sat on the cushion with a pout. She was so dissatisfied that she looked like she could hang a bottle of oil on her lips because of the harsh words she received from the old man just now.

"It's not dark yet. If you still want to go to the Imperial Garden, let them take you there."

There were still a lot of memorials piled up on the desk that had not been dealt with, and Pei Zhiyan was too busy to play with her.

“I don’t want to go out to see the flowers…”

"Then what do you want to do?"

“You can plant flowers in the yard.”

Yuanyuan pointed to the empty land on both sides of the courtyard. There were many flowers planted in Concubine Jing's palace.

"You can tell them to plant them and pick the colors you like."

There used to be a lot of red plum blossoms planted in Wangyue Tower. In winter, the white snow and the red plum blossoms complement each other, and the snow against the deep red always reminds Pei Zhiyan of some bad memories.

So they all uprooted the trees, and from then on there was no trace of spring in the Moon-Watching Tower anymore.

“You go and plant…”

Yuanyuan tugged at his sleeve. Actually, she didn’t really want to plant flowers. She just wanted to find an excuse to get the old man to play with her.

"Go to the cooler side and don't bother me here."

Pei Zhiyan raised his hand and pulled back his sleeves, his brows slightly furrowed and his expression quite serious.

He is not a person who will devote all his energy to his child, but it is okay for him to play with her in his free time.

"..."

Yuanyuan looked at her empty palms and her lips pouted even higher.

She took the initiative to find the old man to play with, but ended up being left out.

It was a rare occasion that the child sat quietly beside him without making any noise or disturbance. Pei Zhiyan felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Unconsciously, he himself did not realize that he had automatically put himself in the role of the old father.

Unfortunately, the father and daughter did not have any tacit understanding. Yuanyuan stared at his profile with a stern face, wondering in her little head when the old man would take the initiative to talk to her.

After spending some time together, she realized that the old man was just pretending to be mean to her and that although he looked fierce, he would not do anything to her.

But the child's patience was limited. Before he had even waited a quarter of an hour, he began to feel dissatisfied at being ignored and stood up and walked around the table in circles.

From time to time, she would stomp her feet to try to attract the old man's attention. Pei Zhiyan noticed her little movements, but didn't want to pay attention to her.

"Humph!"

Yuanyuan stood in front of him and snorted viciously, but still didn't get any attention.

"Humph!"

The little guy changed his position and continued humming, but still got nothing.

The little brat's persistence was really inexplicable. Each hum was louder and louder, and Xiao Fuzi who was guarding in the yard could hear it clearly.

It looks like she's acting coquettishly with the Master of the Seal, right?

"..."

People who practice martial arts have extraordinary concentration. Pei Zhiyan is determined and will not be disturbed by external factors when doing things.

But children can always catch people's flaws inadvertently.

Yuanyuan originally wanted to grab the old man's robe, but her hand slipped through the gap in the robe and grabbed his pants directly.

The clothes of this dynasty were already complicated. The little guy only knew that he grabbed a piece of cloth and pulled it hard twice.

"you……"

Pei Zhiyan quickly put down his pen and grabbed his pants. His face turned red instantly, and the finger he was pointing at her was trembling.

"How can a young girl be so unrestrained?"

How could that girl do such a thing as reaching out to pull the man’s pants?

In this feudal dynasty, secular constraints and etiquette on women were quite strict, and she did not look like a lady at all.

"I don't know what you mean."

Yuanyuan shook her head, staring at him blankly with her pair of black and white eyes.

The people around her spoke with strange accents, and it was difficult for her to understand them with her current knowledge.

"..."

Pei Zhiyan felt as powerless as if he was punching cotton. Perhaps this was what it felt like when a scholar met a soldier.

"Host, he means that you are impolite, too indulgent and have no rules." 007 translated directly in her mind.

"I'm polite!"

Yuanyuan grabbed the old man's pants to defend herself. She did not do anything impolite.

"Don't you feel guilty about saying this?"

Pei Zhiyan bent down and took her little hands off his pants. This child might have been sent by God to bring him bad luck.

She doesn't do anything polite!

"Go out and play!"

Yuanyuan pointed towards the door with her little hand, her dark eyes full of anticipation.

"..."

Pei Zhiyan sighed heavily, picked her up from the ground with one hand and put her at the door.

"go out!"

"..."

Yuanyuan looked at him a little confused. When she realized that the old man was trying to drive her away, she turned around and went back to find him.

"Don't come over!"

Pei Zhiyan raised his hand and was about to grab the inkstone at hand to scare her, but after thinking it over, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he picked up the bamboo slips and stared at him seriously.

"..."

When the little guy saw him like this, the light in his eyes instantly went out, and he hung his head and went to the yard dejectedly.

If we look at the sight of him holding the bamboo slips in modern society, the deterrent effect would be similar to holding a slipper to hit someone.

Yuanyuan's initiative resulted in a long period of autism.

He came out of the main hall and ran straight into Caizhi's arms, hugged her neck with pursed lips, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't, looking extremely pitiful.

The child has been well taken care of during this period and his skin is no longer as sallow as when I first saw him. His complexion has gradually improved and he is much whiter than before.

Listening to her aggrieved complaints, Caizhi could only comfort her that the Master Seal had important matters to attend to and could not always play with her.

The child is quietest when he feels wronged, and drinks the porridge in the bowl obediently during meals.

"Eat more vegetables, don't just drink porridge."

Pei Zhiyan picked up a piece of smoked fish, picked out the bones and put it into her porridge.

I don't know if I scared her, but she always looks listless.

When the child is noisy, it is annoying, but when she is not noisy, people feel uneasy and start to suspect that she is sick or in a bad mood.
