When they heard that he was not going crazy and hurting anyone, those who were covering their eyes put down their hands.
The crowd's fear turned into great curiosity.
"What happened to the deer?"
"Is it because the beads were given by a master and have divine power, so the deer can sense it?"
"It thinks the little prince can make the beads glow, so he must be a god, right? It's so adoring that it kneels down."
Everyone was talking in low voices, saying all sorts of things.
Looking at Maomao again, after kneeling for a while, he raised his head and looked at the colorful magic beads intently.
There was piety and submission in his eyes, which really surprised Xia Miaoyuan.
[Wow! This bead is truly a divine bead!]
[Maomao, could it be that you, the animal lovers, recognize this bead?]
At this moment, Maomao raised his head slightly, then lowered it again, as if he was bowing.
This happened three times before Maomao slowly stood up and walked away.
There was silence all around, with only the sound of Maomao's footsteps.
But Maomao only walked away seven or eight steps and did not continue to nibble on the grass. Instead, he stood there steadily, staring at Zhuzi.
That expression seemed to reveal seriousness and great respect.
Everyone was so shocked that they shut their mouths tightly, not even daring to breathe.
After a long while, Xiao Luzi stammered, "It...it...it kowtowed?"
Is Maomao kneeling down to worship this divine pearl? Oh my goodness!
What's going on?
[Could it be that this bead possesses the power to control all animals?!]
Xia Miaoyuan broke free from Sang Qi's arms, opened his mouth, and looked at Maomao in surprise.
The Queen calmed down and said to Yingxue, "Go and bring Little Orange over here!"
Then he said to Xiao Luzi, "Go to Rongpin and bring Hua Nier over. Tell her that the little princess wants to play with the dog for a while."
The palace maids looked at the queen with some doubt, but still did as she was told.
[Wow! My mother's brain is so quick! She's truly worthy of being the Queen!]
Bring Little Orange and Hua Nier over here and test their reactions to the magic bead. This way, we can test whether the bead possesses magical powers that can make all animals submit and bow down to it.
If the cat and dog react the same way as the deer, then this means that the seven-colored divine bead likely possesses the power to control all animals.
After hearing her daughter's praise, the queen picked up the tea bowl from the palace maid, took a sip of tea, and hid the smile on her face.
After listening to Xia Miaoyuan's thoughts, Xiao Wanyin secretly gave her a thumbs up in her heart. Cousin Miaoer was a little fairy and extremely smart. Even her aunt was extremely smart, which was beyond her reach.
Soon, Yingxue came over with a big, fat orange.
The Queen asked Yingxue to stand still while Xia Miaoyuan walked over to Little Orange, raised the magic pearl high, and shook it at it, calling out, "Little Orange, come and see!"
Unexpectedly, the little orange was illuminated by the colorful light and immediately closed his eyes, buried his head in Yingxue's arms, and called out "Meow..." as if complaining.
Xia Miaoyuan and the Queen were both a little disappointed.
At this time, Xiao Luzi came over with Hua Nier.
Xia Miaoyuan put away his hands and stood in front of Hua Ni'er again, shaking the beads in his hand, "Hua Ni'er, look, look!"
"Ugh..." Hua Nier whimpered softly and quickly turned her head away.
Obviously, Hua Ni'er and Xiaojuzi were both dazzled by the light of the colorful magic beads.
They reacted as animals normally would to something glaring: they quickly moved away.
Xia Miaoyuan felt a little lost again.
What's going on? Only Maomao is acting strangely. Little Orange and Hua Nier haven't reacted. It seems this bead can't control animals anymore.
"But why is Maomao acting strange? Even if you call it a divine deer, I picked it up from the mountains when I was little. I watched it grow up day by day, so it's just an ordinary sika deer."
[If a leg is caught in a trap, it will be broken. How can it be a sacred deer?! ]
Xia Miaoyuan was lost in thought.
At this time, the queen's mind was also in a mess, and her confusion was similar to Xia Miaoyuan's.
The Queen came to her senses, straightened her expression, and stood in the corridor, saying solemnly to the palace servants, "What happened today must not be spread outside. If there is anyone with a gossip, and I find out, his tongue will be useless!"
The palace maids all bowed their heads in response and retreated in small steps.
In the corridor, only the Queen, Xia Miaoyuan, Xiao Wanyin, and Yingxue were left.
At this time, Xiao Wanyin jumped up to Xia Miaoyuan and begged, "Miao'er, can you let me touch this bead too?"
Xia Miaoyuan was startled back to his senses by Xiao Wanyin's voice.
Xia Miaoyuan looked at the queen, who smiled faintly and nodded.
"Okay!" Xia Miaoyuan immediately responded to Xiao Wanyin.
"But you have to hold it with both hands, be careful!"
As he spoke, Xia Miaoyuan handed over the seven-colored magic beads with both hands.
Xiao Wanyin carefully stretched out her two small hands and held the beads in her palms.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan was in a complicated mood, and suddenly felt his mouth was very dry.
"Little cousin, after you've looked at the beads, please give them to Mother. I'm going to drink some water first. I'm so thirsty!"
As he spoke, Xia Miaoyuan stepped into the main hall.
The queen held the teacup and drank tea slowly while watching Xiao Wanyin play with the beads.
Xiao Wanyin held the magic pearl in her hands and looked at it again and again, carefully feeling its touch and its temperature.
After looking at the beads from all angles, Xiao Wanyin followed Xia Miaoyuan's example, standing in a sunny spot, facing the sun, and holding up the beads with both hands.
But strangely, the beads did not emit seven-color light, but only emitted a faint light like ordinary jewelry.
"Huh?" Xiao Wanyin was very confused.
She changed her posture again and adjusted the angle of the beads, but still no seven-colored light was emitted.
She held up the beads and walked in front of Maomao, "Maomao, look!"
But Maomao smacked his lips in disdain, turned around and walked away, going to the other end of the yard to chew grass.
The queen was so frightened by the scene that she staggered and almost dropped the tea bowl in her hand.
She hurriedly stuffed the tea bowl into Yingxue's hand and walked quickly to Xiao Wanyin.
"Aunt, this is so strange!" Xiao Wanyin murmured.
"Here, give it to your aunt."
Xiao Wanyin obediently handed over the magic pearl.
The queen took the magic pearl in her hand and held it high towards the sunlight, but the dazzling seven-colored light still did not appear.
The aunt and nephew were so shocked that their mouths opened and they looked at each other.
