Chapter 28 After the Seventh Princess Died, He Never Remarried
Xue Yili looked down at the bag of rice in his hand, his eyes instantly becoming gloomy.
Is this because Cong'an is still alive and he is coming up with a new trick? Who is that person and why does he hate him so much that he keeps killing him? Is he determined to kill him?
Hearing the footsteps behind him stop, Xue Yili guessed that the little princess would come to remind him again. Thinking of her short and stout appearance, he was afraid that it would be hard for her to catch up, so he pretended that the rice bag was too heavy to lift, so he put it on the ground and shook his hands.
When Ji Jinyou heard what the system said, he immediately stopped and turned to look at Xiao Hongzi.
The little boy was completely unaware of what was happening. He put the rice bag on the ground and shook it with his hands. After shaking it, he picked it up again and continued walking forward.
Ji Jinyou didn't understand who was so wicked, always playing dirty tricks to hurt others. His little follower wasn't well yet, and was playing tricks on his rice.
Youyou was worried: [Everything, I have to remind him that his little follower is still sick. If he gets sick again, two patients with no one to take care of them, how pitiful it would be.]
She didn't want to ask who was harming Little Proton again, because if the system knew, it would have told her long ago. The most important thing right now was to save people.
Knowing that the little girl is stubborn and can't be persuaded to do what she wants to do, the system directly supports her: [Keep going, Youzi. We are rooting for you. ]
Jin Xing saw the little girl stop and stare at the little pony with her big eyes. She squatted down and asked softly, "Young master, you don't want this pony. If you don't want it, I will return it to him."
There was no way to explain this to Jin Xing. Ji Jinyou shook her head and stuffed the pony into her hand: "Wait for Youyou."
Having said that, he spread out his two chubby legs and ran towards the little proton.
She ran to Xue Yili, stretched out her two little arms to block his way, and looked up at him with her little head.
Xue Yili pretended to be confused, put the rice bag on the ground, bowed and greeted, then asked: "Little Princess, is there anything wrong?
Unable to put it into words, Ji Jinyou didn't waste energy trying. He squatted down and picked up the bag of rice.
But she didn't expect that the rice in the cloth bag, which looked so light in the little proton's hands, became so heavy in her hands. She tried for a long time but couldn't lift it, and she even sat down on the ground accidentally.
Xue Yili couldn't just stand there and watch, so he squatted down and held the rice bag with his hands: "This is my food. What do you want to do, little princess?"
Although it was a question, the tone was very gentle.
Ji Jinyou ignored him, stood up, and pushed him away with her two little hands. Then, she took turns to stomp and step on the rice bag with her two little feet...
Jin Xing was standing not far away, and when she saw her young master's unprecedented "barbaric" behavior, her jaw dropped in shock.
The young master was the kindest, most sensible and well-behaved child she had ever met. What happened to him today?
Seeing the little girl stomping and stamping non-stop, Jin Xing subconsciously looked at the little boy standing nearby. He seemed to be frightened, just standing there stupidly, not trying to stop her.
Jin Xing had never come into contact with the little proton before, but she had heard about his affairs. She was afraid that the little boy would catch her master and beat him up, so she hurried over.
She used her body to separate the two children, squatted on the ground, reached out and held the little girl's arm, and said sternly: "My dear, this is the food for the young master. We can't do this."
Rupin protected the little girl to her core, but she was very strict in educating her on moral conduct on a daily basis, because she knew that although Youyou was a princess, she was not favored as her mother, so Youyou was also not favored. She could not develop an arrogant and domineering temper, lest it become a habit. If she made a big mistake in the future, she would not be able to protect her.
Rupin had told Jin Xing this more than once, and Jin Xing also understood the truth behind it, so when she saw the little girl suddenly get angry, she also became serious.
The chubby girl was so tired from pedaling that she pointed at the rice bag and said, "Youyou wants it."
Jin Xing glanced at the silent little boy with embarrassment, reached out and held the little girl in her arms, coaxing her in a low voice: "My dear, this belongs to someone else, we can't have it."
No, I can't do it. Ji Jinyou pushed Jin Xing's hand away, stretched out his hand to grab the tied mouth of the rice bag, and pulled it hard, but after a long time of hesitating, he only moved a little distance.
Jin Xing was confused, she really didn't understand why the young master was doing this, but when she thought about how the young master would never act unreasonably, she realized that she must have her reasons for suddenly acting like this today, although she couldn't figure out what that reason was yet.
However, the most urgent task is to solve the current problem. Since the young master insists on having this bag of rice, we should find a way to get it. As for the rest, we can go back and talk to Concubine Ru and let Concubine Ru make the decision.
Jin Xing thought for a moment, and then she said to the young boy standing quietly at the side, "I'm sorry, young master, I'll go back and get you a bag of new rice, is that okay?"
Xue Yili hesitated. He was already very grateful for the little princess's reminder. It would not be nice to ask for things from others without any reason.
But he knew that there was something wrong with the rice and he would definitely not eat it. However, he had already received this month's ration and it was impossible for him to go to get more. Moreover, according to his experience, he would not be able to get it even if he went.
Besides, if he refused to change, the little princess would have to worry that he would eat the rice.
Xue Yili was silent for a moment, thought it over again and again, and finally nodded.
Jin Xing pulled the little girl into her arms again, took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat: "Young Master, shall we go back and get some rice to exchange?"
"Okay." Ji Jinyou replied. The fat boy pointed his hand to the ground and told the proton: "Wait for you here."
Xue Yili nodded calmly: "I won't leave. I'll wait here."
Fearing that the little prostitute would be worried, Jin Xing did not take the rice bag first, but led the little girl back. This place was not far from Miaoyunxuan, so the two of them walked back quickly.
Rupin was just sending two maids from Furong Palace out. When she saw them coming back, she smiled and walked over to them. She picked up the little girl and walked inside. She put her cheek close to hers and smiled tenderly, "Youyou, do you miss your mother?"
Ji Jinyou nodded: "Youyou misses your mother." Then he looked at Jin Xing.
Jin Xing noticed the little girl's gaze and briefly told Rupin what had just happened.
When Rupin heard the little girl stepping on someone else's rice bag without caring about anything, she straightened her face, put the little girl on the ground, raised her hand and slapped her round little butt: "Youyou, do you know you are wrong?"
Rupin looked fierce, with her hands raised high, but when she dropped her hands, she just patted them lightly, and Ji Jinyou didn't feel any pain at all.
Ji Jinyou understood Rupin. Without knowing the reason, her behavior made her look like an annoying little bastard. But she had no way to explain it and could only let her mother and Jin Xing misunderstand her.
But as long as it can save people, she doesn't care if it's a misunderstanding.
Thinking that the little proton was still waiting outside, Ji Jinyou threw himself into Rupin's arms, his little head arched and arched, "Mother, youyou is wrong."
The chubby little girl was acting coquettishly in a baby voice. Rupin couldn't hold back. She hugged the little fat girl into her arms and rubbed her: "Will you bully others in the future?"
Youyou quickly assured: "No more."
Seeing the little girl admitting her mistake so well, Rupin was satisfied: "Since we have already told the young master that we want to exchange rice, then we will do it this time, but you must never do that in the future, understand?"
Ji Jinyou nodded her head obediently: "Youyou knows."
Rupin ordered Jin Xing, "Go get some rice. Get more. It's not easy for the child either."
Jin Xing took the order and went out to get rice from the warehouse behind the small kitchen.
According to the rules, a concubine of Rupin's position was not allowed to have a small kitchen. However, after Rupin gave birth to Youyou, the Empress had someone build one for her so that she could take care of the child more conveniently. She has been using it until now. Otherwise, she would have had no idea where to start.
Seeing Jin Xing go to get the rice, Ji Jinyou walked to the table and climbed onto the chair to look at the pastries that the Royal Concubine gave her.
Rupin came over and touched the little girl's head: "Youyou, do you want to eat?"
Ji Jinyou shook her head: "Youyou wants to get some for her brother."
Rupin smiled: "Youyou, be good, this is the right thing to do. You just bullied your brother, so you should give him some food as compensation."
I just heard from Jin Xing that when Youyou Sadie stepped on someone's rice bag, the young master was so scared that he stood there motionless.
But from what she had heard, the young master was not someone to be trifled with. He did not lose his temper at the time, perhaps because Jin Xing was beside him.
Youyou likes to run around and play, but she is so young that there are always times when I can't take care of her.
We have to comfort the child as soon as possible, don't let him hold any grudge in his heart, and don't let him secretly take revenge on Youyou.
Rupin went to get a small bamboo basket filled with snacks and fruits, put some clean oil paper inside, and placed it in front of the little girl. She then wet a handkerchief and wiped her hands clean: "Youyou, come and pick."
Ji Jinyou nodded, and reached his two chubby little hands into the box of snacks, grabbing a handful on the left and a handful on the right. After a while, he filled the small bamboo basket.
Rupin was confused. Previously, this child insisted on stealing other people's rice, and now she sent so many cakes to others. These cakes sent by Furong Palace were not seen in Miaoyunxuan on weekdays. The little girl loved to eat these things. Rupin felt sorry for her and held her chubby hand: "Youyou, are you sure you want to give so much to that brother?"
Ji Jinyou nodded: "Youyou is wrong, give more to your brother, he also gave me a pony."
The system said that Little Proton and his followers usually have little clothes to wear and live a hard life. There are so many here, so just give him more, as a thank you gift from the pony.
Hearing this, Rupin nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Jin Xing brought the rice over. Ji Jinyou climbed down from the chair, tiptoed, and reached for the small bamboo basket. Rupin picked it up and handed it to her: "Here you go."
Ji Jinyou agreed, grabbed the handle with his two chubby hands, and went out with Jin Xing, returning to where they had been.
"Young master, please take it." Jin Xing handed the bag of rice in her hand to Xue Yili.
Xue Yili took it and realized it was much heavier than his bag. He looked at Ji Jinyou and said, "Thank you, little princess."
Seeing that he didn't look unhappy at all and instead thanked his young master, Jin Xing breathed a sigh of relief. I thought that this child was quite polite and not as vicious and scary as the rumors said.
Ji Jin laughed and handed over the small bamboo basket in his hand: "Give it to brother."
Xue Yili was a little surprised, and his heart warmed. Looking at the little girl's eyes that curved into crescents, he smiled and refused: "No need, this rice is enough."
The boy's facial features were already very stunning, but he had always had a gloomy face, which Ji Jinyou found a bit scary.
This faint smile was as bright as the warm sun in winter. She was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh to the system: [Tongtong, the little proton is so cute. 】
The little kid, who was a few years old, praised him seriously for his good looks, and Xue Yili couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little higher.
Good moods are easily contagious, Ji Jinyou also laughed and stuffed the small bamboo basket of snacks into his hands, then put his two chubby hands behind his back and said in a domineering tone: "Brother, eat."
The little girl gave it to him sincerely, and it would be a bit rude to refuse it blindly. Xue Yili nodded: "Thank you, little princess."
Ji Jinyou took the pony from Jin Xing and shook it: "Youyou likes it, thank you brother."
Seeing the little girl say this, Xue Yili smiled again: "As long as you like it."
After the matter was settled, Ji Jinyou had nothing much to say. She waved her hand, said goodbye to him, and returned to Miaoyunxuan with Jin Xing.
As he watched the chubby little figure disappear into the distance, the smile on Xue Yili's face slowly disappeared.
Although he had doubts about the mysterious man's words last time, he now believes them completely.
By this calculation, the little princess has saved both of their lives.
If it is true as the man said, when he has the chance to return to his homeland in the future and has the ability to destroy Dasheng, he will definitely keep her safe.
As for the bag of rice, he had just taken advantage of the fact that no one was around to dig out some moss from under the wall and mixed some soil into it.
I hope that doing so can help the little princess a little. After all, she needs to find an excuse to get rid of the bag of rice, and she seems unwilling to say these things directly.
---
Back at Miaoyunxuan, Jin Xing was holding the bag of rice and was about to take it to the kitchen. Ji Jinyou was so scared that she quickly hugged her legs and said, "Xingxing, throw it away."
Throw away? Why throw away the good rice? Jin Xing frowned in confusion and looked at Rupin who came out of the room: "Master."
What's wrong with Youyou today? Why are you so abnormal? Rupin frowned, walked over, squatted down, pulled the little girl off Jin Xing's legs, and asked seriously: "Youyou, tell mother why you threw it away?"
Ji Jinyou pointed at the rice bag, then used his two chubby hands to make a motion of holding a bowl and scooping rice, pretending to take two bites, then he covered his neck, rolled his eyes, and fell directly into Rupin's arms.
Although she knew that the child was acting, Rupin's heart still skipped a beat when she saw the little girl's eyes roll back and she fell limply into her arms. She quickly straightened the little girl up and slapped her on the butt: "Why are you pretending to be dead?"
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and quickly spat to the side.
Ji Jinyou knew that Rupin was the most unlucky with these things, so she covered her aching little butt, giggled foolishly, and looked flattering.
"You naughty child." Rupin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She picked up the little girl and patted her little butt gently: "Does it hurt?"
Rupin was able to use more force this time than before. Ji Jinyou nodded her head: "It hurts."
Rupin rubbed her rice distressedly and gave Jin Xing a look, motioning her to follow him into the house. When they were inside and the palace door was closed, Rupin lowered her voice deliberately and asked the girl solemnly, "Youyou, are you saying that there is something wrong with this rice and that eating it will kill people?"
You see, my mother is smart. Ji Jinyou nodded her head.
Rupin's heart skipped a beat again, and she frowned, "Youyou told mother, how did you know?"
Ji Jinyou couldn't tell the truth, so she just made up a lie: "Youyou was dreaming."
Rupin originally thought that the little girl accidentally heard someone trying to harm the young master, and was worried that she might be discovered and would bring disaster.
Hearing that the little girl was just dreaming, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little worried and confirmed again: "Youyou didn't hear it from others?"
Ji Jinyou repeated: "It's a dream."
Rupin and Jin Xing looked at each other and understood the girl's abnormal behavior, and they both felt relieved.
"Dispose of the rice quietly and don't let anyone see it." Rupin whispered to Jin Xing.
"I saved it." Jin Xing agreed, took the rice and went out, walked to the small kitchen alone, closed the door, lit the fire, poured the rice into the stove in batches, and watched it burn until it was clean.
Rupin hugged the little girl tightly and kissed her chubby little face: "Our Youyou is so capable, she can save people even in her dreams."
Seeing that it was so easy to fool, Ji Jinyou leaned in Rupin's arms and sighed in his heart: [Tongtong, why does my mother trust me so much? She believes everything I say. 】
System: [Your mother loves you. If she loves you, she trusts you unconditionally. Besides, she is a person who doesn’t like to think about things, otherwise she wouldn’t have died without knowing how she died. 】
The development of events in the past two days has deviated from the original plot trajectory. Ji Jinyou doesn't know if if it continues like this, both mother and daughter will not have to die on the Double Ninth Festival night.
Ji Jinyou wrapped his little arms around Rupin's neck and put his face close to hers. She hasn’t lived with such a good mother long enough.

The most remote courtyard in the imperial palace.
Xue Yili returned to the house with rice and snacks in his arms, and saw Cong'an had already stood up and was sweeping the floor. He put down the rice bag and the small bamboo basket, walked over and took the broom: "You're not fully recovered yet, go back and lie down."
Cong An smiled and demonstrated two moves: "It's fine now, Your Highness, look, I can already punch."
Xue Yili straightened up and slammed the broom on the ground. "Lie down and recover before going out again."
Obviously, his highness was four years younger than him, and almost two heads shorter, but when he stood there, his aura was extraordinary. Cong An sighed and had to go back to bed.
"Have some snacks." Xue Yili handed the basket of snacks to Cong'an, and then continued to sweep the floor.
Looking at the small basket full of exquisite snacks, Cong An was a little surprised: "Your Highness, where did this come from?"
Xue Yili: "The little princess gave it to me."
Cong An was a little hesitant to eat it: "Will it be poisonous?"
"What kind of poison can a three-year-old child give?" Xue Yili said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, just eat it."
"Okay." Cong An happily picked up a piece of snowflake crisp, carefully took it in his hand, took a bite slowly, and nodded repeatedly: "Delicious."
Seeing Cong'an eating happily, Xue Yili couldn't help but smile: "If it tastes good, eat more. There's a whole basket."
While eating snacks, Cong An suddenly sighed, "Your Highness, this is only in the Dasheng Palace, no one cares about us. If it were in Dayao, if someone saw me lying down eating snacks while you were working on the ground, I would probably be beaten to death."
Xue Yili: "You are mine, I will see who dares to touch you from now on."
Thinking of the person who poisoned the medicine and tried to kill Cong'an, Xue Yili said coldly, "It's not possible in Dasheng."
Cong An heard the murderous intent in his little prince's tone and hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, I'm fine, don't be angry."
Xue Yili said fiercely: "When I find the person who hurt you, I will never let him off."
A few years ago, when he was sent to Dasheng as a hostage, only three people came with him, Cong An, a nanny, and a palace maid.
After this, the maid hooked up with a prince and knelt down to beg him to release her, but he did not keep her and let her go.
Then, less than a year later, the nanny also died of acclimatization.
From then on, Cong An was the only one to accompany him. Over the years, the two of them depended on each other and struggled to survive in the Dasheng Palace.
And Cong'an, no matter what happened, was always the first to stand in front and protect him behind him.
He never treated Cong'an as a servant. In his eyes, Cong'an was his brother.
When he was young, Cong An suffered a lot to protect him.
Now that he has grown up, he should shoulder the responsibilities that he should bear. He can't always hide behind and let others bully him. Otherwise, he will always be treated as a soft persimmon by others.
Seeing his own prince's gloomy face, Cong An hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, let's be patient for now and go home later. You don't need to cause trouble for a little servant."
Xue Yili pointed at the bag of rice on the table and said gloomily, "It's not that I want to cause trouble, but those people are really too much. Someone tampered with your medicine yesterday, and today the rice is problematic again. If someone hadn't reminded me, we would have eaten to death."
Cong An was shocked. He quickly put the small bamboo basket in his hand on the table beside the bed and went downstairs to look at the bag of rice. "Who is so insidious that he wants to kill His Highness this time?"
Xue Yili nodded: "If there hadn't been a kind person who reminded me and gave me this bag of rice, you and I would have been killed this time."
Cong An cursed a few times with a dark face, and then asked: "Who is that kind-hearted person, Your Highness? If I see him later, I will have an idea in my mind."
Xue Yili did not hide it: "It's the little princess."
In order to survive in the palace, Cong An found out everything about the people in the harem, including which ones are good, which ones are bad, and which ones should be avoided. However, Miao Yunxuan's mother and daughter had a very low sense of presence. Cong An didn't understand, "How can a three-year-old child know this?"
Xue Yili thought about it seriously and decided to tell Cong'an, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out. He tried several times but the same thing happened.
Seeing that his little prince opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, Cong An was so scared that his face turned pale. He immediately held his little prince's head and shook him desperately: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Xue Yili waved away Cong An's hand and cleared his throat: "It's okay, my throat is just a little dry."
After saying this, he was stunned. It was strange that he could say this again.
Cong An felt relieved and quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him. Xue Yili took it and drank it all in one gulp, but he was puzzled.
But then I thought, the man who was speaking has never shown up. No matter if he is a ghost or a god, he must be a person with great supernatural powers. Maybe he doesn't want people to know about this?
Today he paid attention to the maid beside the little princess and it seemed that she could not hear.
Thinking of this, Xue Yili accepted it calmly. I just don't know if there is anyone else who can hear it like him.
Never mind. There’s no point in thinking about this kind of thing. Maybe I’ll be able to figure it out after seeing the little princess more often in the future.

Inside Fengyi Palace.
Dan Gui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Queen, tears welling up in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness."
The queen knew what was going on, but she could only pretend she didn't know and helped the man up: "You're fine, why are you kneeling again? If you have something to say, stand up and talk."
Dan Gui stood up and wiped her eyes, feeling a wave of fear: "Your Majesty, you don't know, if I had left the palace one day later, everything would have been too late."
The queen asked, "What do you mean?"
Dan Gui: "My cousin is disheartened and originally planned to become a monk tomorrow. I will be going back today..."
Dangui told me everything about her trip out of the palace today, and finally said, "Now my cousin has come to my house to propose marriage, and we will set a date after the ceremony."
Seeing that the situation was finally saved, the queen was very relieved. She took Dangui's hand and patted it: "That's good. You can stay in the palace and wait for your marriage. And spend some time with me."
Dangui agreed, expressed gratitude, and kowtowed again.
The Queen ordered again: "Go and select some suitable materials and jewelry and send them to Miaoyunxuan for Rupin. By the way, measure the size of the Ninth Princess. You are good at sewing. Later, you can select some materials suitable for young girls' families and make some clothes for the Ninth Princess."
The Imperial Concubine was busy making clothes for Xiaojiu, so she couldn't fall behind. After all, Xiaojiu said she liked her, and if she wanted to stay here to rest one day, she would have something to change into.
She had to thank Xiaojiu for Dangui's matter. Although she was not aware of it, asking her to make a few clothes for Xiaojiu was also a way of repaying her.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Dangui responded promptly.
The queen added, "By the way, there is a basket of sweet melons that were just delivered from the imperial farm. They are very sweet. Take them all and send them to Xiaojiu."
Dan Gui agreed and went down to make arrangements.
Half an hour later, Dangui brought two palace maids to Miaoyunxuan, carrying materials and melons.
Looking at the pile of things, Rupin was flattered but also very confused. She didn't know what was going on today. First, the Imperial Concubine sent fabrics and snacks, and now the Queen sent fabrics, jewelry and melons.
However, since it was a gift from the Venerable, she had no choice but to accept it. She thanked him politely and invited Dangui to drink tea.
Dangui suggested taking the little princess's measurements, and the Queen Mother ordered clothes to be made for her.
The little girl had taken a bath, changed into pajamas, and was rolling back and forth on the bed.
Rupin hurriedly carried the little girl out and placed her on the couch.
Ji Jinyou looked at Dangui who was full of joy and wondered, when he saw her before, she looked worried, why was she so happy now?
Just when I was wondering, Dangui took the initiative to mention that she would leave the palace and get married in a while.
Rupin and Jinxing were both happy for her and congratulated her. Rupin even went back to the inner room and took out a pair of pearl earrings from her jewelry box and gave them to Dangui as a gift.
Dangui was very surprised and thanked him quickly and accepted it. When she was measuring the little princess, she saw that the little girl was still sweating after taking a bath. She knew what was going on and didn't say much.
When she returned to Fengyi Palace and reported the situation to the queen, she vaguely mentioned that Miaoyunxuan was too hot. When she was there, the little princess was tossing and turning because of the heat and couldn't sleep.
The queen thought to herself that she was negligent and hurriedly asked two eunuchs to send over some ice cubes from her palace.
Rupin was very happy to receive the ice cubes. She quickly packed the ice jar and moved it to the bedroom. After a while, the room became much cooler.
Rupin was so happy holding Ji Jinyou: "Our Youyou can sleep well tonight."
Ji Jinyou was also very happy. In order to match Rupin's mood, she jumped twice on the bed. The little fat girl felt heavy and the bed board made a loud noise when she jumped.
Rupin was so amused that she quickly picked him up and put him on the bed: "Little ancestor, don't jump around, or the bed will collapse."
Rupin leaned aside and fanned the little girl, humming a little tune.
Ji Jinyou lay on the bed, dozing off while chatting with the system: [Hey, Dangui is getting married. This way there will be one less trouble in the harem. 】
Although she didn't know how this happened, she was happy for Dangui and her cousin, as well as for the Queen.
System: [Yes, this way she won’t have to die. 】
Ji Jinyou: [Will everyone get a box lunch in the end? 】
System: [According to the plot information I have currently, there will be only a few left in the end. 】
Ji Jinyou sighed: [Ah, after fighting for so long, they all die in the end. What's the point of this? 】
System: [The root cause lies with the old emperor. 】
Ji Jinyou turned over like a salted fish, with his round belly facing upwards: [Hey, I can't tell him about this, otherwise I would have tried to persuade him. 】
The system consoled him: [Youzi, it’s hard to change one’s nature, but it’s hard to change the country. Don’t think about it. Go to sleep. If you get sleepy, I’ll have to shut down too. 】
Ji Jinyou yawned and said in a baby voice: [Good night, everyone. 】
[Good night, Youzai’er. See you tomorrow.] 】
---
The next morning, before Ji Jinyou woke up, Princess Seventh and Eighth came again.
Rupin was a little surprised, but also happy that Youyou was liked by her sisters.
But it was still early, and she didn't want to wake Youyou up so early, but she was afraid of being rude, so she asked tentatively: "If the two princesses have something else to do, why don't you go do it first, and when Youyou wakes up later, I'll take her over?"
Princess Seven or Eight doesn't have any serious things to do. She just eats, drinks, plays and reads storybooks on weekdays.
The Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort specifically instructed that before the Double Ninth Festival night, their main task was to take care of Xiaojiu, and they would be rewarded if they did a good job.
The two of them were eager to do so and agreed immediately, and arrived early in the morning.
The Eighth Princess waved her hands and said, "We don't have anything important to do. We just want to play with Xiaojiu."
The Seventh Princess also said, "Don't rush to call Xiaojiu. Let her get enough sleep before getting up."
For Rupin, her precious daughters eating well and sleeping well were the top priority. Since the two princesses said there was no rush, she was not in a hurry either. She had the melons washed and cut, and put snacks and tea on the table. She let the two princesses pass the time, and she sat beside them and embroidered to keep them company.
Princess Seventh and Eighth sat on a chair eating snacks, waiting for Xiaojiu. She waited for more than half an hour, but Xiaojiu did not wake up.
Seeing that it was too late, Rupin stood up and said, "This child sleeps too much. I'll go call her. It's time to get up for breakfast."
"Empress Rupin, please sit down. We will go and call Xiaojiu." Upon hearing this, the seventh and eighth princesses rushed into the inner room.
Rupin's story had no secrets that could not be revealed to others, so she agreed with a smile and let the two girls go.
Princess Qiba entered the inner room and walked to the bedside. She saw the fat little boy lying on his back, still sleeping soundly. He had rolled up his sleeves, revealing a fat little arm, which was white and plump, like a lotus root.
.
The Eighth Princess walked over and couldn't help but reach out and touch it: "Seventh Sister, please feel it, Xiaojiu's arm is really like a steamed bun."
The Seventh Princess also found it interesting. She stretched out her hand and pinched him, then called softly, "Xiaojiu, wake up."
The two of them talked back and forth, you touched me and I pinched her, and finally woke the girl up.
Ji Jinyou had just opened his eyes and his mind was still not very clear. He turned over and lay on the bed, staring at the two of them blankly.
The two of them couldn't help laughing when they saw this. They lay on the edge of the bed, looked at the little girl, and talked in a low voice.
"Seventh sister, do you think we were so silly when we were little?"
"Nonsense, this is cute, not stupid."
"I just mean it looks so cute when it's silly."
After a while, Ji Jinyou was completely awake and smiled with her eyes bent: "Seventh sister, Eighth sister."
Seeing that the chubby girl finally recognized them, Princess Seven and Princess Eight smiled happily. Princess Eight picked up the little girl and smelled her, "Our Little Nine smells so good."
"Let me smell it." The Seventh Princess also came over to smell it and nodded: "It smells really good."
Usually, Rupin and Jin Xing also said that they smelled good, but Ji Jinyou herself couldn't smell it. Now that her two sisters were praising her, she reciprocated: "Seventh sister smells good too, and Eighth sister smells good too."
The seventh and eighth princesses giggled at the praise. Rupin brought in clothes for Youyou to wear, but they were snatched away by the two princesses again.
However, the two of them obviously didn't know how to take care of children. They fiddled with a little skirt for a long time but couldn't figure out how to put it on. They didn't let Rupin help and insisted on doing it themselves, saying that practice makes perfect.
Ji Jinyou stood on the bed waiting for them to get dressed. She was almost asleep, so she took this opportunity to call out the system: [Everyone, what happened today? 】
When they heard Yi Wa Yi Tong talking again, the seven or eight princesses' eyes lit up immediately. They pricked up their ears and listened carefully, even slowing down the movement of dressing the little girl.
The system flipped through it: [No big deal. Ah, there is one big deal. Marquis Kangshun brought his son into the palace today to ask for the seventh princess' hand in marriage. 】
The seven or eight princesses were all stunned.
Ji Jinyou looked at the Seventh Princess: [Has His Majesty agreed? 】
System: [In the original plot, he agreed. Later, when the Seventh Princess died, she died in the Kangshun Marquis Mansion. 】
Ji Jinyou: [Oh, I forgot to remind Seventh Sister to go to bed early these past two days. 】
The Seventh Princess pinched the little girl's chubby hand. Thank you, Xiaojiu, Seventh Sister no longer stays up late, she will definitely be healthy and live a long life.
After Ji Jinyou sighed, he asked again: [Is this Kangshun Hou Shizi a good person? Is he good to Seventh Sister? ]
Most of the princes and princesses had no say in their marriages, and it was all arranged by the emperor. However, the Seventh Princess didn't have a lover, so it didn't matter who she married. But when she heard Xiao Jiu ask this question, she still listened carefully.
The system flipped through the data and said: [This Kangshun Hou's son was handsome and caring towards the Seventh Princess. When the Seventh Princess passed away, he was very sad and never reunited with her again.]
Ji Jinyou was so moved that he clenched his two chubby hands into round fists: [What a crazy lover. ]
The seventh and eighth princesses also nodded secretly, thinking that such a man should be married.
[However, that...] The system was halfway through speaking when it suddenly started to stammer: [How should I put it? Actually, there must be another reason why he never married again in his life, and that is his...]
What? What is that? Is she dead or disabled? She said she never remarried, so she should be alive, but she is disabled?
The Seventh Princess glanced at the Eighth Princess, clenched her fists, and had a determined look in her eyes.
It doesn't matter if he's disabled. I will definitely live in harmony with such a good man and live a happy life with him.
The Eighth Princess also nodded. Seventh sister, marry him.
Ji Jinyou didn't understand, [What happened? ]
The system has no teeth, otherwise it would have to grit its teeth before saying: [This dirty thing shouldn't be told to a kid like you, but since you asked, I'll tell you, cover your ears quickly. ]
What's the point of covering her ears? The system was talking in her head, just like covering her ears with a bell. Ji Jinyou wanted to roll her eyes, but she still covered her ears: [Okay. ]
System: [That's right, he has a distant aunt who, due to family misfortunes, has been living with the wife of Marquis Kangshun since she was young. She has been living in the Marquis Kangshun's mansion ever since. She is only a few years older than the Marquis Kangshun's son. The two grew up together and have a very deep relationship.]
[Later, the aunt became the concubine of Kangshun Hou. After the seventh princess died, Kangshun Hou's son was sad and upset. It was the aunt who comforted him. Then the two of them had an affair.]
This bunch of words confused Ji Jinyou, who didn't understand for a moment: [What? ]
System: [That is to say, Kang Shunhou and his master slept with a woman. ]
Ji Jinyou was so shocked that his eyes widened: [What? ]
The seventh princess was tying the two ribbons on the little girl's skirt into a bow. When she heard this, she exerted force with both hands and pulled the ribbons off.
