While Qingtian was taking a nap, Prince Rui and Princess Rui were sitting outside waiting.
Bi Rui whispered to the two of them, "The young master is a little grumpy when he wakes up. He's a little better during his nap, but every morning when he wakes up he whines and clings."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rui immediately said, "Then I'll sleep with Qingtian tonight, so she won't be the only one scared when she wakes up tomorrow morning."
Birui thought to herself that Sister Ye was not here, and she was not sure if the princess's company would be of any use, but she still said, "That would be great. With the queen by her side, the young master will definitely sleep better."
Recently, in order to prepare for Qingtian's return home, Princess Rui specially found several servants from the mansion who had daughters and learned from them how to take care of a little girl as old as Qingtian.
Prince Rui was listening with envy. Although he was Qingtian's biological father, Qingtian was still a little girl after all, and she had not grown up by his side. He still had to avoid any overly intimate actions.
On sunny days, the nap time is not long, basically about half an hour.
After all, she still had to go to Madam Lu's place to study some afternoons.
She had already developed the habit, and after all, it was her first time taking a nap in Prince Rui's Mansion.
So she still couldn't completely relax.
He only slept for half an hour and woke up on his own without anyone calling him.
When Birui heard the sound, she hurried into the inner room and saw Qingtian had turned over and sat up, with his trousers already put on, and was preparing to put on his shoes and go out.
Princess Rui followed in and saw that Qingtian had already put on her coat with Birui's help. She said, "Qingtian, your hair is messy from sleeping. Can I help you comb it again?"
Qingtian nodded when she heard this. Usually at home, it was Mrs. Ye who combed her hair.
Compared to needlework, Mrs. Ye’s skill in combing hair is still very good.
Now that I finally have a daughter, I can finally put my talents to use.
So although she rarely lets Qingtian wear headwear, she would comb and braid Qingtian's hair in different ways every day.
Qingtian sat in front of the mirror, quietly waiting for Princess Rui to comb her hair.
Princess Ke Rui usually needs several people to help her comb her hair, and the skill of combing her children's hair is something she learned on the spur of the moment - she just pierces their ears when she gets into the sedan chair.
Before she even started combing her hair, Princess Rui was already stumbling over the steps of untying the braids she had braided earlier and combing her hair.
Qingtian was hurt by her pulling several times, but he endured it and didn't say a word.
Bi Rui stood by anxiously, and finally couldn't help but said, "Madam, how about I help the young master untie and comb her hair first, and then you can take over?"
Princess Rui had indeed never done this before. After hearing what Birui said, she did not insist and handed the comb in her hand to her.
Birui carefully untied the remaining braids, and then bit by bit combed out the hair that was tangled by Princess Rui.
"Okay, that's enough for you to do. I know the rest."
Princess Rui took over the initiative, and this time she didn't hurt Qingtian too much, but her hands were too clumsy, and the braids she made were crooked and unevenly tight, and after they were tied up, they looked like claws and fangs.
After everything was done, she found that a strand of hair was missing at the back of her neck, so she had to wrap it around the hair bag and secure it with beads.
But no matter how she tried to insert the two pearl flowers, she couldn't make them symmetrical. Finally, seeing that the originally pretty girl had been dressed up like a little lunatic by herself, Princess Rui was also very upset.
Qingtian is short and can't see her reflection in the mirror when she sits in front of the dressing table.
Now that her hair was combed, Qingtian turned around and asked, "Sister Birui, can I see a mirror?"
When she turned around, the pearl flower that was not firmly inserted fell off, and the strand of hair that she had finally put on fell down again.
Birui looked at Qingtian's terrible hairstyle and really didn't want to give her a mirror, for fear that she would burst into tears when she saw herself in the mirror.
Seeing that she didn't move, Qingtian simply stood up and picked up the mirror on the dressing table to look at himself.
"Qingtian..." Princess Rui suddenly felt guilty. She wrung the comb in her hands tightly, opened her mouth, and only called Qingtian's name, but she didn't know how to explain it.
But Qingtian was stronger than they thought. She looked at her tangled hair, took off the other pearl flower that was still stubbornly hanging on her temples, and raised her hand to slightly tidy up the bun wrapped in a small braid, trying to make its shape look a little more regular.
But Princess Rui's braids were not braided properly from the beginning, so no matter how she styled them later, they would not look good.
Not to mention the wisp of hair hanging down at the back of his neck.
Qingtian spent a long time sorting it out, but finally gave up helplessly.
But she didn't cry or complain. She turned to Princess Rui and said, "Mother, this is the first time you combed my hair, and you did it very well."
Princess Rui couldn't bear it anymore.
"It's all because my cooking skills are so poor. Can I ask someone to comb your hair?"
As Princess Rui spoke, she frantically untied the mess she had made on Qingtian's head.
Birui hurried to help.
Qingtian nodded and said, "Okay!"
Princess Rui immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called the maid with the best hairdressing skills in the room to come in and serve her.
"This is Qiao Yun. She's very skillful with her hands and can do all kinds of complicated hairstyles."
Qiaoyun really lived up to the "Qiao" in her name. She quickly undid Qingtian's messy hair with her light hands and feet, and after combing it again, she quickly gave her a hairstyle that was both delicate and beautiful. After fixing it with a silk ribbon, she let her choose two simple pearl flowers to wear on both sides. In an instant, her look was completely different from before.
Princess Rui was watching from the side, feeling extremely envious, but it was a pity that she was too clumsy to comb her daughter's hair herself.
Qiao Yun had just finished combing Qingtian's hair when a servant from the palace came to report, "Mrs. Qin and Young Master Qin are here to visit."
"Your aunt and brother Hexuan must know that this is your first day back. They're worried that you won't be able to adapt, so they came to see you."
Qingtian was very happy to hear that Qin Hexuan had come. She quickly took the box of tangrams given to her by Prince Rui and went out to meet him.
Qin Hexuan didn't expect that he could find an identical tangram puzzle from so many years ago, and he was very surprised.
"That's good now. You don't have to feel sad when you think about it."
After Qin Hexuan finished speaking, he saw that Qingtian didn't look very happy, so he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Are you having trouble adapting here?"
Qingtian shook his head and refused to tell the truth.
"Everything is good here, and my father and mother are very good to me."
