Chapter 34
Yun Mian actually didn’t quite understand what the system was talking about. She vaguely remembered it in her mind, but her body was running towards her mother’s bedroom.
"Mother, can Mianmian put the flower on your head?" The little princess in the goose yellow palace skirt held the beautiful flower hairpin she bought, looking up with her little face full of anticipation.
Yun Peijin's answer was to casually take off the hairpins on her head and lean forward slightly towards her daughter.
Yunmian found the right angle and gently inserted the hairpin into her mother's hair, holding her breath for fear of accidentally hurting her.
Yun Peijin adjusted the hairpin with her hand and asked her daughter with a smile: "Little cotton, does it look good to me?"
Yunmian slurped her saliva and answered loudly and sincerely, "It looks good! Mommy is the most beautiful woman in Daqing! Mianmian likes it!!"
As he said this, he lay over and hugged his mother tightly, rubbing his face affectionately in his mother's arms, like a kitten lying on its belly to suck catnip.
Yun Peijin was amused by her daughter and stretched out her hand to pinch her soft cheek: "Our little cotton will be more beautiful than her mother in the future."
Yun Mian's eyes widened in shock: "No! Mommy must be the most beautiful in the world! She must be this beautiful forever!"
Yunmian doesn’t care whether she will be good-looking in the future. As long as her mother is the most beautiful, she will be the proudest child in the world!
Yun Peijin didn't quite understand her daughter's strange stubbornness, but the little girl's clingy look, not wanting to be separated at all, still managed to please her.
When Yun Mian finally remembered that there were a group of princes and princesses waiting for her, Yun Peijin looked at his daughter's back, turning his head and asking Qiuyue beside him, "Is the little princess more lively these days?"
Qiuyue smiled and replied, "I think so, but maybe the little princess is growing up, the more people she comes into contact with, and you have been by her side teaching her for the past two years, so her temperament has become more lively, which should be a good thing."
"Yes, but a war is about to break out on the border..." The rest of the words slowly faded away with a light sigh.
Qiuyue also frowned slightly, lowered her head respectfully and stopped talking.
Her master is not only the Princess of Daqing, but also a general who fights bloody battles on the battlefield. If it weren't for the Princess and other generals and soldiers who risked their lives to defend the battlefield over the years, how could there be a prosperous Daqing with bright moonlight?
Today is the 24th birthday of Her Royal Highness Princess Daqing. In addition to the emperor and empress who live in the palace sending eunuchs to deliver valuable gifts, all the princes and princesses who are now growing up in the palace are also present. Even though the important officials in the court have some complaints about the princess being in charge of generals as a woman, they are also proud to be invited to the banquet.
It can be said that today's banquet at the Princess's Mansion, except for the Emperor and the Empress who did not attend in person, the rest of the people attending the banquet were comparable to a royal palace banquet.
This is the honor that belongs exclusively to the Princess's Mansion, and it is glory created by the Princess alone.
Yun Mian didn't recognize those officials and ministers, and the families they brought with them only looked vaguely familiar to her, so she didn't join her mother in the fun. Instead, she took her eldest brother and several other princes and princesses to play around in the mansion.
"Little Cotton, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to eat the triangular pastry made in the imperial kitchen? I asked someone to try to make it yesterday, and it tastes not bad. Come to me next time you come to the palace, and I will give it to you." The eldest prince Yun Zhao said, and he pinched the round bun on the little princess's head with his itchy hands.
Yunmian obediently let her elder brother play with her hair. Her eyes lit up when she heard the words: "Okay! I'll go tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow!"
"My mother said you went to the palace a few days ago. Why didn't you come to look for us?" Yun Chen guessed, "Could it be that Little Mianhua is still angry with me?"
Yunmian Gu Lian: "...Brother, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it!"
Yun Chen held back his laughter and raised his hand to knock away the hand that was still playing with his sister's hair.
Facing his eldest brother's dissatisfied gaze, the second prince Yun Chen smiled gently: "Little Mianhua, you will be going to school in ten days. Do you want to enter the palace and go to school with us?"
Yun Mian was about to answer when she suddenly heard the voice of the system uncle: "Mian Mian, the male protagonist is missing. He is secretly contacting the future general, Bai Lie."
Yun Mian was stunned for a second, and looked around the group of children, but sure enough, she didn't see Yun Yi.
But after a brief thought, the little princess clapped her hands happily and decided: "Big brother, second brother, second sister, third sister, let's go to mother's martial arts training ground to play? I have been practicing martial arts with mother recently. I am very tired every day, but I can already stand on the wooden stake for half an hour without falling down!"
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the little princess wanted to show off to them the results of her martial arts training.
Not only princes Yun Zhao and Yun Chen, but also the two princesses Yun Shang became curious and wanted to know how powerful the usually soft and chewy little cotton ball could become.
So the Royal Cubs rushed all the way to the martial arts training ground in great momentum.
As for the male protagonist who was in contact with the future military commander? Yun Mian didn't like him, didn't want to play with him, and didn't want to care what he was doing.
After listening to the host's mumbling, the system flew behind her and seemed to be hesitant to speak for several times.
By the time it got outside the martial arts arena, it was too late for it to speak.
Several children heard what Yun Yi said to Bai Lie in the martial arts arena.
"...Why, do you also look down on me, the Third Prince? Or is it that the person you value and follow first is not me, but Yun Zhao and Yun Lin? Bai Lie, I know that you have wanted to be a general since you were a child. You might as well go back and ask your father and grandfather about what I just said and see what they will choose!"
This was definitely not the tone he usually used to show weakness.
Yun Chen paused, the smile in his eyes faded a little, he pulled Yun Mian and Sanmei, and quietly retreated before being discovered by the people inside.
When they arrived at the garden, Yun Zhao's fists were already clenched and creaking: "It's him again! Why are you stopping me, second brother?!"
If he hadn't stopped him, he would have taught that bastard a lesson.
“How dare he be so arrogant? Bai Lie is the descendant of General Bai. Even our father would not allow us to treat the descendants of a hero for our country in that way!” Yun Zhao simply couldn’t understand why Yun Yi always liked to act pitiful and weak to disgust people, and why he dared to be so condescending to the general’s descendants?
Even if he was the eldest son of the emperor, no matter how arrogant he was, he would never be that... that...
"Didn't you notice that he dismissed all the slaves and palace servants?" Yun Chen said calmly, "I think he must have thought that no one knew about this conversation, so he dared to be so rebellious."
Yun Mian looked at her second and third sisters in surprise and found that their faces were pale, as if they were frightened and absent-minded.
Pursing her lips, Yun Mian hugged her second sister and then her third sister, and asked Qiu Jin to serve them both a cup of hot tea.
"Uncle System, why did you only mention the eldest brother and the fourth brother just now? Why didn't you mention the second brother?" Yun Mian remembered Yun Yi's words very clearly.
She had learned a lot from her memories of this world, and was no stranger to court disputes, so she could vaguely understand what that sentence meant.
But, why not talk about the second brother?
"…Because the Second Prince suffers from a foot disease." The system sighed, "If it weren't for this, how could it be so easy for Yun Yi to seize the throne of Daqing?"
The second prince was intelligent and wise since childhood, and his temperament was the most stable. Compared with the irritable and impulsive eldest prince, he was more favored and valued by the ministers in the court. However... when he was one year old, Yun Yi pushed him off the warm couch when the palace maid was not paying attention, and he broke his leg tendons.
Even if the emperor later summoned famous doctors from all over the world to see the second prince, with the medical technology of that era, the right foot could not be restored to its original state. Now he is just wearing special shoes, so there is no obvious problem with his walking.
But how could the ruler of a country be a cripple? Everyone tacitly excluded the second prince from the fight for the throne. Even the second prince himself seemed to understand a lot at a young age, so even though his biological mother was the queen, he was gentle and rarely argued with others.
After listening to Uncle System's words, Yun Mian was silent for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "Yun Yi is a bad guy!!"
Yun Zhao and others were stunned, and then burst out laughing.
"Yes, Xiao Mianhua is right, Yun Yi is a bad guy, a bastard, a stinker!" The nine-year-old eldest prince Yun Zhao wanted to shout this sentence until the whole Daqing knew it.
Yun Chen smiled helplessly and warned his sister: "It's fine to say this in front of us, but if there are other people around, don't say it so bluntly, it will offend people."
Yun Mian stared at her second brother, her eyes turning red: "But he bullies me! I will never play with him!"
How painful would it be to break a leg? Yun Mian didn't know, but she was afraid instinctively, and her second brother was so young at that time, he was only one month older than Yun Yi.
"Don't be afraid, little sister. I will protect you!" Yun Zhao promised, "Brother, practice martial arts well. In the future, you will be able to knock the bad guys to the ground with one punch, and they won't be able to get up!"
Yun Mian stared at the big brother's tall figure and sniffed: "I will also practice martial arts well, and fight the bad guys with big brother in the future!!"
Yun Zhao: “!!!”
As expected of little cotton, she is courageous and loyal!
Although the little girl still looked small and soft, as if a finger could make her cry, when she said fiercely that she wanted to beat up the bad guys, Yun Zhao still wanted to pick her up and throw her high like his father did~
Of course, due to various realities, his hands were itching again and again, but he still forced himself to suppress the urge.
Yun Chen wiped his sister's tears, glanced at the palace servants who were standing guard from afar, and whispered to his elder brother and younger brothers and sisters, "Don't spread what happened today. Only heaven and earth know and we know. If it gets out, regardless of whether others believe it or not, the military generals will be furious if the court officials know about it. If this matter gets out of hand, there will be a quarrel between the royal family and the military generals' families. The border has been unstable recently, so it's better not to cause any more unrest at this critical juncture."
"Are we just going to let it go like that? What's more, Bai Lie is the grandson of General Bai..." Yun Zhao respected military generals more than civil officials, so he was quite resentful at this time.
Yun Chen patted his eldest brother's arm and comforted him, "Don't worry, tell father privately after returning to the palace. Then father will surely appease the Bai family."
Even he understood the truth, so it was impossible for the emperor not to know what to do. It was just that Yun Yi made a stupid move... Recently, the emperor has been worrying about who to send to the border to defend against the enemy. He had just decided on the Bai family yesterday, but now it seems...
Yun Chen touched Yun Mian's head lovingly and whispered, "After the birthday banquet is over, Mian Mian should also tell this to your aunt and ask her... ask her to prepare to lead the army."
If Daqing really had so many military generals, why did they force my aunt, a woman, to go into battle?
Now that Yun Yi has offended the Bai family for his own selfish reasons, and his words are so ambitious, I'm afraid the situation in the harem and the court will no longer be stable.
Pay attention: the hero of this small world will be offline relatively quickly. He exists to allow the main quest to transition. You won't encounter this kind of villain in the subsequent quest worlds.
There's another chapter coming up.
