Li Shuyao transmigrated into a cannon fodder palace maid in a Qing Dynasty palace struggle novel. Due to her jealousy of Guo Luoluo for stealing her opportunities, she clung to Uya's leg. Howev...
Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Fight, fight! She loves...
The second princess didn't stop after that punch. She grabbed Yinzhi's collar with her other hand. Her pretty face was covered with frost. Her voice was as cold as iron. "It seems like I haven't talked to you for a long time, Yinzhi, brother, brother."
Is this heart-to-heart talk you're talking about serious?
Li Shuyao wanted to say something but stopped herself.
But the Second Princess didn't even look at her. She held her brother in one hand and clenched the other hand into a fist. She looked around and unceremoniously dragged Yinzhi into an empty room next door.
Little Yinzhen touched his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged Li Shuyao's legs and continued to beg, "Mother, mother, please calm down. You must not send brother An'er to Zhongcui Palace."
Li Shuyao sighed softly. "Grandfather's imperial decree stated that An'er should be raised in Changchun Palace for a period of time. How could Mother send An'er to Zhongcui Palace?"
Isn't this disobeying the imperial order?
Little Yinzhen thought about it, but it wasn't enough. "I can't just leave my little brother An'er to play with my big brother Yinzhi, especially when my second sister is not around."
Generally, when the second sister is present, the danger to brother Yinzhi can be controlled; once the second sister is not there, brother Yinzhi becomes the danger itself.
He used to like playing with his brother Yinzhi just for the sake of excitement.
But now it’s different. He has two younger brothers, and the sense of responsibility as an older brother arises naturally. He quickly realizes that he cannot be an older brother like this, and his younger brothers are not toys.
Li Shuyao had never played with Yinzhi before, and didn't know the power of this little devil. Seeing her son being so serious, she bent down and pinched Yinzhen's little face with amusement, "Okay, mother got it."
After a pause, she asked, "Later, can Yinzhen tell Mother what Brother Yinzhi used to do with you?"
Yinzhen didn't realize the danger was approaching yet, and patted his chest with his little hand, "Okay, I'll tell my mother later!"
The other side.
The eldest prince, the crown prince, and a few little kids were still playing with their shy cousin An'er.
Perhaps because they had met before, An'er was obviously more dependent on the eldest prince and the crown prince. Soon, she was held in the arms of the eldest prince without any resistance, and was fed a few milk snacks by the crown prince.
He sat on the eldest prince's lap and swung his legs happily.
Listening to his brothers and sisters chattering and joking in front of him was a scene that had never appeared in his dreams before.
It turns out that the palace is so fun.
It turns out he has so many brothers and sisters who like him.
But why didn’t my mother tell him before?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Why... is he always sick? If he weren't sick, wouldn't he have been able to play with his brothers and sisters a long time ago?
The prince noticed his sudden drop in mood. Although he was puzzled, his hands did not stop moving at all. Worried that the little guy was tired of snacks, he brought him a glass of sour and sweet mixed fruit juice.
The little guy took a sip of the mixed juice from the prince's hand, and then frowned. It was a bit sour, a bit sweet, and a bit bitter... but it didn't seem bitter at all.
He couldn't describe what the taste was, but he smacked his lips twice and found that he still missed the taste of the juice a little.
So he grabbed the prince's hand and moved the glass cup closer to himself, looking like he couldn't wait to drink it.
The Crown Prince and the eldest prince looked at each other, pursed their lips and tried to suppress their smiles.
One person held the baby and the other fed it, and soon the baby's belly was full. He waved his hands dizzily and said he couldn't eat anymore.
The prince smiled as he lifted the little guy from the eldest prince's lap into his arms, letting him sit on his arms. He rocked him up and down, frowning and saying to the eldest prince, "It's so light."
The eldest prince had a peaceful expression on his face. "Well, it's probably because he hasn't recovered from his illness yet."
The Crown Prince said: "But he still has a good appetite. Staying here with your mother to eat and nourish himself, he will probably catch up with Yinzhen soon."
The eldest prince glanced at his sixth brother Yinzhen, who was not far away, and hesitated, "Isn't that a bit too much?"
The little guy got anxious instantly, "I want a brother, I want a brother, I want to be like my brother."
The Crown Prince and the eldest prince both asked at the same time: "?"
The prince asked him with a smile, "Which brother do you want to be like, An'er?"
"Same as Brother Yin, Zhen." It can be heard that the little guy was struggling when pronouncing the word "Yin Zhen", but he still finished it seriously.
The prince teased him again: "Why do you like Brother Yinzhen so much? Aren't our other brothers good enough?"
The little guy thought for a while, "Hello, brother, hello, big brother, madam, hello, brother Prince, hello too, Brother Yin, but, but, Brother Yin, Brother Yinzhen, like me, Empress Ling said, we are both two years old, little babies." After saying that, he burped, and his little belly trembled.
The eldest prince was so jealous that he touched her unconsciously.
The little guy quickly covered his belly shyly.
The prince pinched the little guy's soft, smooth face without any hesitation.
The little one laughed so hard that he forgot what he was talking about.
The eldest prince and the crown prince are the most outstanding among all the young men in the group, and only the second lady can compare with them.
However, the Second Princess was currently having a "heart-to-heart talk" with Yinzhi in an empty room next door and was not present at the scene.
As for the other little kids, they had come to see their younger brother An'er according to their mother's instructions. However, before their younger brother could get a closer look, he was taken away by his eldest brother.
As the host, Yinzhen's younger brother just hugged his mother's legs and didn't know what he was doing.
Then the forgotten Third Princess and Changsheng looked at each other for a moment, and one asked, "Brother Changsheng, how are you feeling lately?"
Xiao Changsheng rubbed his head and smiled as shyly as An'er. "It's much better now. I coughed for two days in March and April when the catkins were flying. I didn't even need to take medicine. It got better on its own."
The third princess also smiled and said, "That's good."
Xiao Changsheng asked, "Where is the third sister?"
The Third Princess said, "I'm fine too." After a moment's thought, she added, "Mother has been teaching me needlework lately, and I'm learning quite quickly. When I'm fully trained, I'll make a purse for each of you."
"That's great! I'll be waiting to see Third Sister's cooking skills."
Although the prince was playing with Xiao An'er with his elder brother, he did not forget to take care of his younger brothers and sisters who came with him. After hearing what the third lady said, Wen Ya politely joined in.
The eldest prince also readily followed suit, "Third sister has a gentle personality and can sit still. In time, she will definitely surpass all the embroiderers in the embroidery room. If you have time, you might as well embroider a few purses for me so that I can show them off when I go out on errands."
Although he was only nine years old, Khan Ama had already started looking for a wife for him. The selection process would take one or two years, and the preparation for the wedding would take one or two years. He could get married at the latest when he was thirteen years old.
After the wedding, she will be able to attend court affairs and will have countless opportunities to go out of the palace on business.
He is preparing for a rainy day.
The Third Princess was still young, and could not understand the meaning of her eldest brother's words. She only lowered her head shyly and bowed to her eldest brother, "Sister, I will study hard and will not let you down."
"What about me, what about me, what about mine?" The prince also came over.
The third princess looked at him, remembered what her mother had said, and hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "If the prince likes it, then I can naturally..." She only said half of it and suddenly stopped.
On the other side, Li Shuyao had completed the "mother-son communication" with her little cub, and walked over holding his hand.
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you talking about?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince held Xiao An'er in his arms and rushed to briefly repeat the topic just now.
He could see that his third sister was not confident, and thought that if the Empress heard it, she might be able to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, Li Shuyao seemed to be missing a nerve in her brain. She only heard the first half of the sentence, "The third princess is learning needlework and wants to embroider purses for her brothers." She completely ignored what the prince said, "The third sister is a little insecure. I wonder if she can give me one when the time comes."
She let go of little Yinzhen's hand, walked quickly to the front of the Third Princess, stretched out her hand and rubbed her face back and forth.
The tone was full of surprise, "Wow, Forlana is really amazing!"
"How old are you, and you're already learning needlework? Your mother didn't start until she was in her teens, and her embroidery is still mediocre." After a pause, she continued, "When Forlana learns, can she embroider a few purses for your mother, too?"
"I want something bigger, not something to hang around my waist, but something to hold things in and keep them safe."
She even made a wish.
But the third princess, Forlana, listened attentively. Finally, she nodded and agreed immediately: "Sure!"
The eldest prince immediately gave the prince a teasing smile.
Prince: “?”
Why isolate yourself?
Hey, why does this sound so rhythmic?
Before he could finish his thought, his knees suddenly felt hot. He looked down and saw Yinzhen hugging his thighs like a tree baby.
One cub on top of another.
Suddenly, I felt that little An in my arms seemed to have become a little heavier.
The prince immediately changed his arms and hugged An'er, then lowered his head and asked in a gentle voice, "What happened to Yinzhen?"
Little Yinzhen tilted his round head and pointed at his younger brother An'er in his arms: "Brother, I want to play with you."
Give An'er brother back to him.
It turns out she wasn't here to play with him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt a little disappointed. He held An'er and bounced him around a few more times before reluctantly putting him on the ground.
As soon as An'er landed on the ground, he rushed towards Yinzhen with a smile. After all, Yinzhen was two times bigger than him, so he stretched out his hands and caught him steadily.
Then she lowered her head and asked him, "Do you want to go out and play?"
Xiao An turned his head and looked. The afternoon sun was bright and warm, making the floor tiles look like they were inlaid with gems. The dazzling light made people's eye sockets hot, as if they would melt if they stood outside for a while.
Little An'er shook his head and retreated, "It's hot."
Yinzhen followed his gaze and thought to himself, it's too hot. Brother An'er is weak to begin with, it would be bad if he got heatstroke.
So he racked his brains and remembered that there was a toy house in Changchun Palace.
That was prepared for him by his mother. When he was younger, he spent almost half of his time playing in the toy house.
When he grew up a little and realized the prosperity and fun outside the Changchun Palace, he no longer liked to stay in the toy house. Every day he either went to follow his elder brother and the prince, or followed his brother Yinzhi around to play crazy things.
It was only after he turned two that he became a little more well-behaved.
While thinking, little Yinzhen helped his younger brother An'er to stand up, walked quickly to the side, and gave a few instructions to the wet nurse.
The wet nurse quickly retreated, and after about an incense stick of time, she returned to the side room, bowed to the masters inside, and said in a flattering voice, "Your Majesty, the princes and princesses, the toy house is ready."
Li Shuyao slapped her head and then remembered this natural place to raise a baby.
She looked at the eldest prince, the little prince, and the second princess who had returned from their "heart-to-heart talk" with bright eyes, and suggested eagerly: "How about we go somewhere else to play?"
The older kids all knew about the Changchun Palace toy house and had played in it before, so they all responded well.
Soon, the group moved to the toy house not far from the main hall.
None of the little ones forgot that the protagonist today was their little cousin An'er.
So after entering, the eldest prince and the young prince found chairs and sat down.
The Second Lady hesitated for a moment, then walked behind Yinzhi, always fulfilling her supervisory responsibility. She was ready. If Yinzhi dared to take An'er to "eat" toys, she would definitely use her fists to teach Yinzhi a lesson as soon as possible. Oh no, a son.
Only the third princess, Changsheng, Yinzhen and Yinzhi were left, surrounding Xiao An'er.
The third princess pursed her lips, looked around, and when she found that she was the only girl there, she took two steps back embarrassedly, walked to Li Shuyao's side, and was about to say something.
Li Shuyao, however, assumed that she hadn't been here for a long time and was unfamiliar with the toy house, so she pointed directly to a corner on the right side of the toy house and said, "Folana, you haven't finished the puzzle you played last time. Your mother has been asking someone to keep it for you these past few months, and she doesn't allow Yinzhen to touch it. Do you want to go over and finish it?"
puzzle?
If Li Shuyao hadn't said anything, Forlana would have almost forgotten about it.
She pursed her lips and knelt down towards Li Shuyao rather embarrassedly, "Thank you for taking such trouble for me, mother."
"What's the big deal?" Li Shuyao pulled her up and pushed the puzzle in the direction of the puzzle. "Go quickly. Ling'er Niang is also very curious about the pattern of the puzzle."
The third princess lifted her skirt and walked towards the puzzle, looking back every three steps.
The remaining little kids were still being introduced to their cousin Tong'er.
"Look, little brother. This is a doll my mother embroidered for me a long time ago. It was my first time making dolls, so I stuffed it with lots of cotton and the stitches aren't very neat. If some cotton falls out while you're playing with it, don't be afraid. Just stuff the cotton back in and rub it a few times like this. It will be fine."
"That's right, that's why we usually don't play with that doll. Ling'e Niang said it has commemorative value, and if we break it, she'll ask us to compensate her."
"We usually play with the ones sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"By the way, An'er, have you ever played tangram?"
"Brother An'er, do you want to try this seesaw?"
"Want to play ocean ball?"
"There's also a kaleidoscope here. Brother An'er, do you want to take a look? By the way, remember not to look at it for too long, otherwise your head will get dizzy."
"Are you talking about this? This is hopscotch. My eldest brother and the Crown Prince used to play it. The Crown Prince said that playing it made him so tall, and he told us to jump over it more often when we have nothing to do. Maybe we can grow taller than him in the future!"
——As soon as Yinzhi finished speaking, the embarrassed Crown Prince, who had overheard him, threw a toy at him, hitting him right on the pigtail on the back of his head.
Yinzhi picked up the toy on the ground and turned his head with an angry expression. After seeing clearly that the person who hit him was his brother, the prince, he bit his little teeth in dissatisfaction, threw the doll in his hand to the ground again, and then turned his head back, not daring to pursue the matter at all.
How can we investigate? The prince is the prince! In the entire Forbidden City, besides the two ancestors and Khan Ama, he is the most honorable person.
If he dares to slam the table and demand an explanation from the Crown Prince today, tomorrow his mother will chase him all over the Forbidden City with a rolling pin and teach him a severe lesson.
Not to mention, the second sister is still here, so there is no need for mother to take action. As long as he takes a step towards the prince, his sister's iron fist will probably fall on his head.
I dare not provoke him, I dare not provoke him at all.
The eldest prince was sitting at the table. After seeing this scene, he was a little speechless.
Then he glared at the prince beside him and said, "How old are you? Why are you still arguing with Yinzhi?"
On the other side of the table, Li Shuyao, who was munching on melon seeds, paused and looked up in confusion: "?"
She must have heard it right.
What did the eldest brother say? How old is he?
How old are they both?
Adding all of them together doesn’t even reach the adult line, and you’re starting to act old-fashioned?
Moreover, the two of them said such things in front of her. Were they really not just being sarcastic to her?
Li Shuyao threw the melon seeds back onto the plate in dissatisfaction.
The eldest prince didn't wait for the prince's answer. Instead, he saw Li Shuyao's action. His forehead jumped for a moment, and he quickly said, "Your mother, please don't be offended. I'm not talking about you..."
"Yo yo yo."
"They are all over the age of 18~"
Before Li Shuyao could react, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the other side launched a verbal attack, repeating what the eldest prince had just said word by word in an extremely strange tone.
At the end, with a half-smile on his face, he said, "Why do I remember that last month, someone was furious and wanted to go to Rong E'niang to ask for an explanation because Yinzhi accidentally tore his belt?"
"And the time before that, when he was just practicing calligraphy, Yinzhi knocked over his ink tray. Someone was so angry that he smeared the wet ink on the paper directly onto Yinzhi's clothes. He went back and got a good scolding from Rong's mother."
"Why didn't Big Brother forget his age at that time and didn't bother with Yinzhi?"
"You!" The eldest prince's handsome face instantly turned red, "Why are you saying these things..."
The prince said: "You are allowed to speak, but I am not allowed to speak?"
Upon hearing this, the two brothers started to bring up old grudges.
Li Shuyao's heart suddenly felt relieved and her bad mood disappeared.
Her almond-shaped eyes were bright, and there was a smile on the corners of her lips. She reached out with interest and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate. While cracking them, she couldn't help but cheer in her heart.
Fight, fight!
She loves to watch!
