The afternoon sun was bright and beautiful, and the early autumn weather was quite cool, the flowers in the garden still bloomed fiercely.
Xiaoyu toddled around the garden with her little short legs, followed by a throng of panicking palace maids. Terrified that the little princess might fall and get hurt, they followed closely behind, almost wishing they could scoop her up and whisk her back to her sleep chamber.
"Big brother, big sister, come out," two-year-old Xiaoyu called after making a round through the garden without spotting the two who often caused her trouble.
Qiqi and Yueyue hid behind a cluster of flowers, holding their breath with serene concentration until the little short-legged princess had passed. They then emerged, breathing deeply the fresh air, and as they watched their little sister's retreating figure, both siblings heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves how troublesome it would be if Xiaoyu had caught them.
