Chapter 53 I didn’t expect Commander Xie to cherish her so much

After they had their vegetarian meal, they met a group of cats on their way back to the Zen temple.

Wen Yueyin smiled and said, "Prince Chen, you don't know that there is a group of cats living in Ciyun Temple all year round. They are very brave and not afraid of people. On weekdays, they are fed by monks and pilgrims."

After she finished speaking, she broke the steamed buns she had just brought out from the dining room and fed them to them.

She had a straight back and squatted gracefully, her soft satin skirt emphasizing her graceful figure.

While feeding the cat, she laughed as clear as a silver bell, leaving Chen Yushi with a profile that was both gentle and pure.

Wen Xingluo looked at her and finally understood why she wanted to eat vegetarian food.

She wanted to feed the cat with steamed buns to show her beauty and kindness in front of Chen Yushi.

Xie Guanlan leaned close to Wen Xingluo's ear, and said in a low voice with joy: "My sister's sweetheart is about to be seduced away."

Wen Xingluo: “…”

She couldn't tell him clearly.

"Ah," Wen Yueyin suddenly pointed at a kitten in the corner, "Prince Chen, look, there's a kitten over there."

She quickly stepped forward, holding the kitten in her arms and showing it to Chen Yushi. "It's only a month old. It must have been abandoned by its mother. It's so pitiful. It's so small, it can't even compete with other cats for food. Master Chen, can we take it home?"

Chen Yushi was a little embarrassed: "If Miss Wen wants to raise a child, then do so. Why ask me?"

"But we discovered it together." Wen Yueyin curved her eyes. "If Prince Chen doesn't mind, I'd like to raise it with you. A kitten that grows up in love will definitely be very happy."

Chen Yushi is a very elegant man.

She was just wondering how to refuse Wen Yueyin without hurting her, but Wen Xingluo spoke up for her, "Perhaps its mother just went out to find food, and she didn't necessarily abandon it. Sister, you'd better not touch the kitten. If you leave a stranger's scent on it, the mother cat might really not want it anymore."

Wen Yueyin's smile was stiff, but she stubbornly refused to put the kitten down. "My sister doesn't like small animals, so she knows nothing about them. This kitten is so pitiful, I must take it home to raise."

As soon as she finished speaking, a brocade-colored female cat appeared at her feet.

It tapped her embroidered shoes with its paws, then looked up at the kitten in her arms worriedly, making anxious cries from time to time.

The female cat is back.

The kitten began to struggle violently, and Wen Yueyin was caught off guard and threw it to the ground.

Fortunately, the kitten was not injured and was carried away by the mother cat by the scruff of the neck.

Wen Yueyin forced a smile and said, "It seems that Prince Chen and I have no chance with this little cat."

No one responded to her.

Chen Lezhi even rolled his eyes secretly.

After returning to the Zen temple, Xie Guanlan and Chen Yushi went to the inner room to discuss court affairs.

Wen Xingluo saw Chen Lezhi playing shuttlecock alone in the backyard and walked up to him and asked, "Princess, can you take me to play with you?"

Because of Wen Yueyin, Chen Lezhi also disliked Wen Xingluo: "You? Can you?"

Wen Xingluo picked up the shuttlecock and kicked it skillfully.

When she was at the Wen family, she had no friends and often played shuttlecock with the maids.

She can do many tricks.

Double circling flowers, searching for plum blossoms in the snow, double flying swallows, single flying swallow...

Chen Lezhi looked at Wen Xingluo kicking the shuttlecock into pieces, and his eyes widened with admiration.

"Oh my God!" she yelled, "Wen Xingluo, you are so amazing!"

The shouting spread into the inner room of the Zen room.

Xie Guanlan glanced out the green gauze window.

Wen Xingluo was playing shuttlecock beside the flowers.

The shuttlecock circled around the tip of her embroidered shoes, sometimes passing under her knees, sometimes being caught by her tense toes, and sometimes flying behind her. Just as it was about to fall to the ground, she lightly hooked it up with her other foot.

She jumped up and down, and her waist-length emerald skirt scattered like flowers, like layers of unfolding petals.

A restrained smile appeared on that delicate peach-shaped face, and her almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear.

She is a stubborn and strong-willed little girl, and only at times like this does she reveal some childishness.

Chen Yushi, who was sitting opposite, also looked out the window and praised, "Your sister kicks the shuttlecock beautifully."

Xie Guanlan stroked the teacup and said slowly, "Little girls are playful and haven't grown up yet. They don't like young men, but they like these things."

I don’t like young men…

Chen Yushi glanced at him.

Xie Guanlan's implication was that she should not covet his sister.

She waved her folding fan and asked with a smile, "I heard that Sister Wen just came into the mansion last year. I didn't expect Commander Xie to have such a deep brotherly love for her and cherish her so much. I wonder what kind of man will be able to catch Commander Xie's eye and be worthy of Sister Wen in the future?"

Xie Guanlan calmly took a sip of tea and changed the subject: "The imperial court has issued an edict ordering the princes of various regions to reduce their military forces and focus on farming. What does Prince Chen think?"

Just one window away.

Chen Lezhi cupped his hands over his heart, completely captivated by Wen Xingluo's superb shuttlecock kicking skills.

She knelt on her knees with a heroic attitude, and said with a folded hand, "Wen Xingluo, I wish to serve you as my master. Will you accept me as your disciple?!"

Wen Xingluo's scalp tingled, and he quickly helped her up: "Princess, you can't do this!"

The little princess of King Hanzhong was born into a noble family. How could she kneel down just because she was told to?

The two girls gathered together and were about to start studying the tricks of kicking shuttlecock when a weak voice suddenly came from the steps:

"Can I play with you guys?"

It is Wen Yueyin.

Chen Lezhi puffed his cheeks unhappily and whispered to Wen Xingluo, "Why hasn't your sister left yet?"

Wen Yueyin seemed oblivious to the disgust on their faces. She lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs, "Little sister, I want to learn shuttlecock kicking too. It doesn't matter if you teach one or two, just take me with you."

Chen Lezhi rolled his eyes: "What a smart imitator!"

Wen Xingluo tried his best to teach them both how to play fancy shuttlecock.

Chen Lezhi was fine, as if he had endless energy.

Ke Wen Yueyin started to feel tired after kicking a few times. She stood by the flowers, holding a round fan in her hand, panting slightly like a willow in the wind, as if she would be blown away by the wind in the next moment.

Wen Xingluo held the shuttlecock and said frankly, "My sister's body is not suitable for kicking shuttlecock. You should go home. If you kick it, my brother and the others will come to trouble me again."

"Little sister, don't you want to teach me?" Wen Yueyin stroked her chest, tears in her eyes.

Wen Xingluo was silent for a moment and decided to ignore her.

She continued to teach.

Chen Lezhi had learned the single-circling flower technique and was kicking vigorously when Wen Yueyin suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

She held her bleeding knee and burst into tears.

The crying soon alarmed the people in the inner room.

Chen Yushi pushed open the green screen window and looked into the yard: "What's going on?"

Wen Yueyin's position happened to be facing the screen window.

She raised her pale and beautiful little face and said softly, "The princess and I followed my sister to learn to play shuttlecock, but my sister forgot to take protective measures for us. I accidentally twisted my ankle and fell to the ground, breaking my knee..."

Big tears rolled down.

Her voice became softer and softer: "Prince Chen, it hurts so much."
