Chapter 1702: Stay Here

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Emperor of Dongxiao could not settle the matters in his own country and was lacking in manpower. How could he send people out to reduce the number of people he could use to scout for intelligence in other countries?

“To prevent any accidents from happening, before you return to Dongxiao, it’s safer for you to stay by our side.” Jiang Yue said again.

Qu Xiao had long heard that both the Emperor and Empress Da Ling were skilled. In addition, the Emperor and Empress had stayed in Peace Town for many years without any mishaps. It was obvious that there were many guards planted around Peace Town, keeping it safe. It was safest for him to stay by their side, so he had no objections.

Qu Xiao thanked them again.

It was already time for lunch. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan asked someone to set up the food.

The baby didn’t eat at the big table, but she liked to join the adults. She ate at the side, and the vegetables were placed all around her. Although the baby couldn’t eat these things, she was happy when she saw them. She waved her hands and stopped playing with her toys. She stared at the food on the small table with her big bright eyes, happy to be included.

The baby could sit and roll, but she still could not crawl. Jiang Yue had to carry the baby over and let the baby sit by the adults’ table.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had also let Qu Xiao join in. The baby was placed next to Qu Xiao. The baby looked at Qu Xiao again, and Qu Xiao looked back at her. He felt that the baby’s eyes were too big and bright. After so long, her eyes and nose were no longer red. After a long look, he decided that the baby was cute.

Qu Xiao was only a child, and he was asking for help from Da Ling. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were quite at ease with him being with their baby.

The baby was only seven months old and could only eat egg custard.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took turns feeding the baby. The baby obediently sat still. She sat there and played with her little feet and hands. She giggled. When she saw her father or mother pass her another small spoon of egg soup, she happily opened her mouth for a bite. When she was especially happy, she even made a gurgling sound.

Qu Xiao had money on him and could buy food. His appetite had been low these two days, so he did not eat particularly well. He was afraid that a child like him would be too eye-catching. If he ate too well, it would attract even more attention. In addition, the food on the table was quite appetizing. In the past, he would only eat a small bowl of rice. On a rare day like today, he ate a bowl and a half worth of rice.

After eating and taking a nap, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan brought them around the town — Qu Xiao and their baby.

When Qu Xiao was still young, his father had long lost his power. His brother, the Crown Prince, had also been assassinated. His father had the throne, but it was only for show. Later, his father passed away, and he succeeded to the throne. However, because the power was not in his hands, he never had the chance to leave the palace. It was rare for him to make a trip outside of the palace, but when he did it was because he always had something to do, he never had the time to look around when he was alone. Xue Yan and he chatted. Although he was not sure if Da Ling would help him in the end, he had some time on his hands for the time being and could follow them around and take a look at the scenery.

Xue Yang was still too young. Ever since she was born, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had never carried her out when it was dark. Every time she woke up at night, she would cry when she realized she could not see the sun. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not wait until the sun went down before bringing her back from town.

Nothing would happen to Qu Xiao if he stayed by their side. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan did not let Qu Xiao stay in town but brought him back together to Locust Village.
