Chapter 1 Eight years old Princess Yuyinng

The patter of her feet on the floor grew faster as she picked up speed, her breathing steady as she sprinted down the hallway. Her light pink gown fluttered up as she ran. The old Eunuch couldn't stop her, he chuckled softly as he bowed to greet her. "Royal Princess Yuying, be careful, watch your feet" He called after her as she entered the Emperor's library.

"Royal father! Royal father!! Look what I brought for you. Where are you?" "Yu'er, father is here." Emperor Cheng walked out from behind one of the book racks." Father lift me up." She raised her hand up, so that her father could carry her. " You're not a child anymore, you are eight years already. People say you're elegant, look at you now, you look nothing like a princess. "Nobody is here, how will they know? I only show you this part of me." " Then you can't blame me for not seeing anything elegant about you."

She turned her face away from her father in obvious annoyance then murmured to herself softly "You don't want to carry me because you're growing old, so stop using my age and elegance as an excuse." Emperor Cheng burst into laughter, then picked her up. He raised her onto his shoulder and started patting her back, while laughing. "Okay Yu'er don't be angry with father anymore; father can still lift you up, I'm not old, see. You said you brought something for me, what is it?"

"I'm coming from royal grandmother's place, she made mooncake, so I brought some. Here royal father, eat some." She brought it to her father's mouth and he ate without second thought. Emperor Cheng normally suspicious by nature, only let his guard down around Princess Yuying

"Royal father, royal grandmother said prince Zichen will be coming home soon. I haven't seen him for more than two years; can I go with you to welcome them? Royal grandmother said he did very well in the battle and has earned lots of respect."

"When it comes to Prince Zichen, you show too much interest, people may misunderstood." " What if they do, I don't care what they think, except what you think royal father."

"And what do you think, I'm thinking, can you read my thoughts now, Yu'er? She kept quiet, bothering over how to answer. Others may not know but she did, her father seems to be cautious when it came to Prince Zichen. She doesn't know why; Prince Zichen has always been her most beloved gege. She loves following him around right from when she was a toddler. She feels safe around him, though he doesn't like talking to others but he's so patient with her. But for some unknown reason she knows her father doesn't like him, this isn't about being suspicious or trying to put the royal relative in their place, it seems to be more. So she can't use the wrong words to make her father suspicious grow more.

"Royal father,it is up to you, if I'm to end up like my other sisters or I can make my own choice, whatever you think is best for Yu'er, Yu'er will obey." "For an eight-years-old" you're too smart. I remembered my promise."
