Bai Xilie said calmly, "Why didn't Third Brother come with Sister-in-law?"
Princess Consort Kang gave a shallow smile, "The weather is nice today, so my husband went horseback riding with friends."
Bai Xilie chuckled, "That Third Brother, either playing or drinking all day long."
Qingmei pulled up a chair, and Bai Xilie waved his hand, "Sister-in-law, sit down. Take your time to say what you need to say."
Princess Consort Kang first took a paper-wrapped package from Qing Lan's hands.
She smiled kindly and gently at Bai Zhi'er, "Zhi'er, these pastries were made by your Third Aunt herself, they're for you."
The little one's big eyes immediately lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Third Aunt! I like you the best!" She rushed over and hugged Princess Consort Kang's waist.
In her coquettish manner, she remembered her father was present, so Bai Zhi'er quickly added—
"Third Aunt is only after Dad and Mom!"
