Chapter 172 - 168: Asking for the Gift in the Dream

Chapter 172: Chapter 168: Asking for the Gift in the Dream

The sun had just set in the evening.

After a clean wash, Ruo Xuan climbed into bed, indicating she wanted to sleep.

Granny Lei was surprised, "So early?"

"Hmm," she intended to go to bed early and wait for Divine Lord Xuanyuan.

Thinking she was tired from a day out, Granny Lei tucked her in and left.

Ruo Xuan did obediently go to sleep early, but she waited all night and Divine Lord Xuanyuan didn’t come to give her the Magic Artifact!

However, she did have a dream last night, in which Divine Lord Xuanyuan gave her many, many Magic Artifacts.

It was as if Divine Lord Xuanyuan had bestowed upon her his entire fortune.

In the dream, she stood in Divine Lord Xuanyuan’s Heavenly Palace, laughing incessantly like a rooster with a "kok-kok-kok".

But upon waking, there was nothing beside her, and her Qiankun Bag was also empty.

Everything in the dream was just that, a dream.

Divine Lord Xuanyuan deceived her!

Thus, Ruo Xuan ran up the mountain early in the morning to confront and accuse.

Xuanyuan Que and the senior Mrs. Xuanyuan had just finished breakfast when a gift arrived from the Capital City. The senior Mrs. Xuanyuan, therefore, took her grandson to see what was sent. If there were tasty items, she would pick some to send to Xuanbao.

Stomping in, Ruo Xuan exclaimed, "Brother Xuanyuan, you broke your promise!"

Xuanyuan Que looked at her, not understanding why.

When had he ever broken a promise?

The senior Mrs. Xuanyuan happily picked up Ruo Xuan, "Xuanbao, tell Grandma how Brother broke his promise. I’ll help you teach him a lesson."

Ruo Xuan said indignantly, "Brother Xuanyuan told me to sleep early last night, and he would bring me gifts! But I went to bed early last night and he didn’t appear to give me any gifts."

After speaking, she glared at Xuanyuan Que.

Xuanyuan Que couldn’t help but laugh, the corners of his mouth turned up and his cool eyes crinkled.

That laugh was like a ten-thousand-foot glow of sunlight piercing through the clouds in the winter’s blue sky, heart-shaking and dazzling!

It amazed time and struck the years.

Ruo Xuan felt as if she were basking in the spring sunshine, a warm breeze rippling over the tips of her heart.

Divine Lord Xuanyuan looked so beautiful and warm when he smiled.

The senior Mrs. Xuanyuan saw her grandson smile for the first time.

The six-year-old boy had never really smiled before.

His little face, always cold and icy, although he was so handsome, wore an expression sterner than his father’s, as if he carried the authority of the heavens.

She had thought he couldn’t smile.

All the Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau even suspected he had facial paralysis.

So her grandson looked this good when he smiled!

The smile was so warm, so stunning.

How to describe it?

As gorgeous as a myriad of flowers blooming in spring, as brilliant as the rising sun in summer, as shocking as the colorful forest-covered mountains in autumn, as pure as the snow-capped mountains covered in winter’s white!

Ruo Xuan was awestruck by someone’s beauty and murmured, "Brother Xuanyuan, you look so nice when you smile. You should smile more often!"

The senior Mrs. Xuanyuan nodded in complete agreement. A child should live carefree and always be smiling.

"Xuanbao is right."

Indeed, Xuanbao had the way!

She even managed to make the stoic Prince smile.

Xuanyuan Que’s smile faded, having lived for too long, he had forgotten the feeling of happiness, and he didn’t remember how many years it had been since he last smiled.

He also didn’t quite understand why he just laughed.

Giving Ruo Xuan a glance, Xuanyuan Que decided it must be because this flower was simply too foolish!

Ruo Xuan glared back, Divine Lord Xuanyuan might look nice while smiling, but that doesn’t mean he could break his promises.

She also looked very beautiful when she laughed!

"Brother Xuanyuan, where is the thing you promised to give me? Don’t think that just smiling will do, and don’t try to trick me with your charm; charming others is my specialty, and I won’t fall for it!"

"Pfft, haha..." This time, even the old Lady Xuanyuan couldn’t help but laugh, laughing so hard that she seemed to blossom.

She couldn’t help laughing so much that she feared dropping Xuanbao, so she quickly put her down.

How could Xuanbao be so adorable?

No wonder even her cold grandson had been amused by her.

Xuanyuan Que was scowling!

This flower was still too naive, not understanding his meaning at all.

"When I told you to go to sleep early, I meant for you to dream; in dreams, you have everything. I am not there, do you understand?"

Ruo Xuan: "..."

She had not understood before, but now she did!

That’s too much!

Hmph!

"Brother Xuanyuan Que is so mean, getting my hopes up for no reason, making me go to bed early to wait for you."

If she hadn’t gone to bed so early, she could have used that time to practice!

The old Lady Xuanyuan looked at the little girl’s slightly pouted lips and her slightly aggrieved appearance, feeling incredibly soft-hearted.

She smiled and touched the little girl’s head: "Xuanbao, what do you want? If Grandma Xuanyuan has it, she will give it to you, how about that?"

Ruo Xuan shook her head, her mood quickly recovering: "Thank you, Grandma Xuanyuan, no need, that thing can only be given by Brother Xuanyuan. If he doesn’t have it, then forget it."

It was a magic artifact; if even the Divine Lord Xuanyuan didn’t have it, others were even less likely to.

Ruo Xuan was not angry, she was just a little disappointed; she had been so hopeful!

But there was nothing to be done if it wasn’t available.

Thinking about how Xuanyuan Que had wasted a magic artifact just yesterday, she felt he had been too wasteful!

Upon hearing her words, the old Lady Xuanyuan didn’t know what to do.

And with matters between children, it was best to let them solve them on their own!

She believed in her grandson; if he could give something to Xuanbao, he certainly wouldn’t be stingy.

After all, he was someone who regarded all mundane objects as worthless as dirt.

"Then, Xuanbao, take a look in these chests and see if there’s anything you like. If you see something, take it. Grandma will go and prepare some snacks for you two!" said the old Lady Xuanyuan understandingly as she left, not wishing to interrupt the two children’s play.

The reason why the old lady spoke this way was that she would not mind giving everything in those chests to Xuanbao.

Of course, she also knew that Xuanbao was never greedy and would only take what she really liked; plus, whatever she took, she would be sure to give a gift in return later on.

Being so considerate at such a young age was utterly endearing.

If Ruo Xuan were a greedy person, the old Lady Xuanyuan would not favor her or give her gifts, and naturally, she would not have said what she did.

Take Princess Kangyi for instance, the old lady would never say the same thing to her.

After the old Lady Xuanyuan had left, Xuanyuan Que began rummaging through the chests and took out several beautifully wrapped candies, as well as a never-before-seen candy, and asked knowingly, "Do you want a candy?"

He didn’t like sweets, but his grandmother did; however, she didn’t dare eat them because she had bad teeth.

But Xuanyuan Que knew that this flower, especially loved candy.

"Yes!" Ruo Xuan loved candy the most, nodding her head vigorously as she took it, unwrapped the small packaging and popped it into her mouth.

Xuanyuan Que then took out a white porcelain jar filled with honey, "Do you want some honey?"

Flowers like candy, but they love honey even more!

Ruo Xuan’s eyes lit up, and she frantically nodded her head, mumbling, "Yes! Yes, yes..."

Too eager, she let a drip of saliva escape from her mouth, which she quickly sucked back in, then craned her neck, pointed to her mouth, and silently indicated: Brother Xuanyuan, quick help me wipe it!

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

He disdainfully took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth for her.

Next time, he wouldn’t give her candy!
