Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Why Do You Walk Pigeon-Toed?
Guoguo answered fiercely, "I don’t want to eat, I want to sleep!"
"You two dragged me up early in the morning, and I’m still sleepy!"
Feng Fuce said coldly, "If you don’t eat, then sit up, and let’s continue chatting."
Hearing the threat, Guoguo suddenly sat up.
"You!" He looked at Feng Fuce angrily.
But the young man just crossed his arms, looking every bit like he was backing up Bai Zhi’er.
Knowing he was weaker than Feng Fuce, the boy had to lower his head and not take it seriously.
He grabbed the pastry from Bai Zhi’er’s hand and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing angrily.
The little one blinked her big eyes and asked, "Is it tasty?"
"Delicious!" Guoguo shouted perfunctorily.
Bai Zhi’er exhaled a breath of milk aroma, "That’s good."
It seemed that Guoguo didn’t mind the pastry that fell on the ground.
Feng Fuce reached out, "Come back and sit down, the mountain path is unstable, you might fall later."
Bai Zhi’er turned around, took her small steps, and plopped back down beside him.
Guoguo’s eyes scrutinized Feng Fuce, then glanced at Bai Zhi’er, whom he had been carefully looking after.
Heh, Marquis Wan made him eat humble pie, so he had to say a few sharp words to this high-and-mighty marquis!
"When the Princess travels, shouldn’t it be grand? Marquis, you’ve brought so few people, won’t the Emperor be worried if he finds out?"
Hearing Guoguo’s words, Bai Zhi’er blinked her clear, black eyes.
She said softly, "Daddy knows Zhi Bao wants to go out with Brother Fu Ce."
"I told Daddy we were going up the mountain to pick flowers."
Guoguo folded his arms and sneered, "Ha, so you’re keeping it from the Emperor? If the Princess gets hurt by beasts, who’s to blame then?"
Feng Fuce lifted his cold eyes at him, "Rest assured, even if there’s danger, it won’t be the Princess who gets hurt."
Guoguo’s expression, originally waiting to see a good show, stiffened slightly.
Looking at Feng Fuce’s expression meant...
"Are you saying the beast would eat me first?!" Guoguo raised his voice.
"What else?" Feng Fuce said coldly, "So when we enter the mountain later, you better stay close to me. If you dare have any thoughts of escaping, I guarantee you’ll meet trouble before any beast does."
Guoguo’s heart trembled.
This Marquis Wan was terrifying!
How did he know he wanted to run away?
Bai Zhi’er’s soft little voice came, "Guoguo, is the beast a wolf, or a big tiger?"
Guoguo snapped back and said coldly, "Neither."
The carriage jolted slightly, and Feng Fuce shielded Bai Zhi’er without a change in his expression.
He told the little one, "It’s a bear."
The little one’s watery eyes flashed with understanding.
"Oh~ it’s a bear," she seemed not to find it scary.
The carriage stopped in a mountain hollow.
They needed to walk the rest of the way, as they could no longer ride the carriage.
Before getting off, Bai Zhi’er put her food and snacks in a bag and carried it on her back.
Today, she was wearing a pale yellow dress, with two bun pigtails on her head, looking especially cute.
Just like she was out for a picnic.
The Xiu Luo Envoy was divided into two groups, front and back, to open the way and bring up the rear for the Princess.
Not wanting to walk with Feng Fuce and the others, Guoguo walked ahead alone.
Bai Zhi’er watched Guoguo’s walking style.
She turned her head and said to Feng Fuce beside her, "Brother Fu Ce, why does Guoguo walk with a bit of a pigeon-toed gait?"
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow and looked, couldn’t help but snicker, "Perhaps he’s not fully recovered yet."
"Oh, poor thing, walking like that is ugly."
Guoguo couldn’t stand it anymore and turned back, shouting, "Even if you’re talking about me behind my back, could you at least keep it down!"
