Chapter 49 This Concubine Jing is not a pushover either

Xue Yili looked up when he heard the voice, and saw the chubby little girl holding the door and looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but smile too, put the book in his hand on the steps, stood up, and walked out quickly to greet her.

When he came closer, he could not lift his injured arm, so he nodded slightly and said, "Princess, please come in."

A few people returned the greeting and entered the courtyard.

Ji Jinyou looked over his shoulder and asked with concern, "Is your injury better?"

Xue Yili looked down at the chubby girl and nodded with a smile: "Much better, thank you for your concern, Princess Nine."

Seeing that he looked good in both complexion and spirit, Ji Jinyou nodded her head and said, "That's good."

"Princess, please come in." Xue Yili led the way and asked everyone to go in and sit down.

Ji Jinyou walked in front, and after entering the door, she came to the chair. Seeing that the chair was quite high, she did not climb up, thinking that she would ask her seventh or eighth sister to hold her later.

After all, this was someone else's place, and she had been climbing up there for a long time, and it would be somewhat embarrassing if she still couldn't climb up.

Xue Yili saw the little princess standing on a chair and not sitting down. He didn't react at first, but when his eyes fell on the chair that was a bit higher than the little girl's head, he immediately understood that the little princess couldn't get up.

He thought it was funny and cute, so he bent down slightly and picked up the chubby little girl with one hand.

Ji Jinyou was suddenly picked up and was startled. She subconsciously reached out to grab his neck. The little proton was as thin as a bamboo pole, so don't throw her to the ground.

Unexpectedly, although he looked thin, he was extremely strong and was able to pick her up steadily with just one arm.

But for some reason, he didn't put her down immediately. He seemed to pause for a moment on purpose before putting her down steadily on the chair.

Ji Jinyou didn't expect that he could see her predicament, so she smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's just a small favor. You're welcome." Xue Yili replied with his eyes lowered.

In all these years since he came to Dasheng, he has never been hugged by anyone, not even once, whether it was someone hugging him or him hugging someone else.

The last time he was hugged by someone was a few years ago, when he was held tightly in the arms of his mother before he left the Dayao Palace.

Years passed, and he only vaguely remembered the incomparable warmth of that embrace, but he only remembered the word "warmth". When he thought about it specifically, he could hardly remember what it felt like.

Unexpectedly, when he held the chubby and soft little princess in his arms, he was reminded of the hug that he had almost forgotten. It turned out that this was the feeling of warmth.

If her two sisters were not there, he really wanted to hold her for a while longer before putting her down.

He also wanted to touch her little hand, which was round and full of dimples, but that seemed too abrupt and rude.

Oh, if only he had such a lovely sister, he would hold her in his arms and carry her on his back every day, so she wouldn’t have to walk by herself.

Ji Jinyou didn't know what Xue Yili was thinking. He just looked at his thin arms and couldn't help but sighed to the system: [Tian, ​​the little proton is really powerful.]

System: [Of course, he has to practice martial arts every day, so it’s no problem for him to hold a three-year-old kid like you.]

The Eighth Princess watched this scene and heard what Tongtong said. She looked at the Seventh Princess with disdain and went over to whisper, "Seventh Sister, look, the little prince is still a child, but he can easily hold Little Nine with one hand. Look at you, your arms and hands ache every time you hold him for a while."

The Seventh Princess also admired Xue Yili's strength and nodded, saying, "I am indeed not as good as others."

The Eighth Princess added, "In a few months, if Little Nine gets fatter, I don't think you'll be able to hold him."

Xiaojiu is so cute and so comfortable to hold, she doesn't want to be unable to hold him. The Seventh Princess immediately made up her mind after hearing this: "In the future, when you get up to practice martial arts, just call me and I will do the exercises with you. With time, you will definitely be able to train your strength."

The two of them talked in low voices and sat on the chairs.

After everyone was seated, Xue Yili asked Cong'an to serve tea. Cong'an responded, turned around and went out. After a while, he came back with tea and snacks.

Looking at the exquisite snacks on the table, Xue Yili suddenly wanted to thank that old man Emperor Wen Zhao. If he hadn't suddenly changed his attitude towards him, when the little princess came today, he would definitely be as shabby as last time, without even tea leaves for making tea, and couldn't even take out a plate of snacks.

Although it was not his fault, he was the host and couldn't help feeling guilty.

Several people each took a cup of tea and drank it slowly. Even Ji Jinyou held the teacup properly, looking like a little adult.

Seeing that the little girl's two small round hands were not even as big as the teacup, Xue Yili found it interesting. Fearing that she could not hold it, he tilted his head, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered something to Cong'an.

After Cong An nodded and went out, he came back with a tray and a smaller teacup and placed it in front of Ji Jinyou: "Princess Nine, please have some tea."

Ji Jinyou looked down at the cup in his hand, puzzled: "I already have it."

Xue Yili explained in a gentle voice: "That teacup is too heavy, use this one."

The cup in his hand was indeed big and heavy. It turned out that he had noticed it, too. He was so careful. Ji Jinyou sighed in his heart.

She agreed, put the teacup in her hand on the table, took the one from An, and smiled at Xue Yili: "This one is more suitable, thank you, Your Highness."

Xue Yili smiled, quietly looked at the little girl who was sipping tea from the cup, and occasionally glanced at the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess.

Seeing the two of them put their heads together, whispering something, and laughing softly from time to time, looking completely unconcerned about him, Xue Yili knew that the seventh and eighth princesses were just there to keep him company, and it was the young princess who came to his place.

But the little princess just came yesterday, why is she here again today?

Ji Jinyou held the cup and took a few sips of tea, then put the cup down and looked up at Xue Yili. Her eyes met his and she smiled. Xue Yili also smiled politely.

Seeing that no one was talking and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Ji Jinyou took the initiative to find a topic: "How old is Your Highness this year?"

"Nine years old." Xue Yi replied politely.

The little princess clearly knew how old he was, but she still asked. It seemed like she was just trying to find something to talk about, so he returned the favor: "How old are you, Ninth Princess?"

Ji Jinyou: "I'm three years old, you're nine, and I'm six years younger than you."

How could such a young child be able to do arithmetic, and so accurately? Xue Yili was quite surprised: "The Ninth Princess is extremely intelligent."

The Seventh Princess also noticed this and was equally shocked. The Seventh Princess sat next to Ji Jinyou and reached out to touch the little girl's head: "Xiaojiu, you are so amazing. Who did you learn this from?"

The Eighth Princess also asked, "Did Concubine Ru teach you?"

Rupin had never taught her, and Ji Jinyou couldn't tell the truth. She just laughed and said something nonsense: "It was my mother and Jin Xing who settled the accounts, and Youyou heard it herself."

The Seventh and Eighth Princesses were even more surprised. They all thought that Little Nine was a genius. The Eighth Princess said excitedly, "I will tell my father later. He likes smart children the most."

Xue Yili also looked at the little girl with full admiration and praise. The little princess could talk to the ghost named Tongtong, and could also teach herself arithmetic. Her words and deeds were much more mature and stable than those of ordinary children, and she had a kind heart. Such a magical child was really rare, and he was lucky enough to see one.

Ji Jinyou felt a little embarrassed by everyone's fiery gazes. She chuckled twice, held the cup and continued to drink tea, her two little feet in pink embroidered shoes dangling in the air.

Xue Yili looked at the pair of small feet, secretly measured them with his hands, and thought to himself that the little princess' feet were really small.

When the seven or eight princesses gathered together to chat quietly, Ji Jinyou continued to ask, "Your Highness, are the new people in your courtyard obedient?"

When they came in just now, the two eunuchs and two palace maids were busy in the yard. They looked very respectful, but who knew if they would bully the little prince.

Xue Yili replied: "Thank you for your concern, Princess Nine. They are all very hardworking."

The people outside were sent personally by Eunuch Liang who was beside Emperor Wen Zhao. Perhaps he had given them special instructions, so they were very respectful and polite to him, as if he were the prince of Da Sheng, and they were not neglected at all.

Ji Jinyou felt relieved when he heard him say that. After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a new topic, so he put down the teacup and said goodbye: "Thank you for the tea, Your Highness. We will go back now and come to see you another day."

The little kid spoke in a serious manner. Xue Yili couldn't help but laugh, "Okay."

Ji Jinyou held on to the edge of the chair with her two little hands and stretched out her two little feet to reach the ground, but she couldn't reach it after two attempts. She turned her head to look at the Seventh and Eighth Princesses and saw that the two of them were chatting about something. They were so engrossed that they didn't even notice what was happening over there.

Upon seeing this, Xue Yili immediately stood up and picked up the soft little baby with one hand. He took the opportunity to hold the baby for a little longer, feeling the warm feeling, and then carefully put the baby on the ground.

Xue Yili only held her for a little longer, and Ji Jinyousi didn't notice anything wrong. She cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xue Yili smiled and reached out to quickly rub the little tuft of hair on the little girl's head.

Ji Jinyou didn't mind, she turned around and walked to the side of the Seventh and Eighth Princesses, pulling one of their hands with her two little hands: "Seventh Sister, Eighth Sister, let's go."

The two of them ended their conversation and stood up: "Okay, let's go."

Xue Yili escorted the group out of the courtyard and bowed again: "Thank you, princesses, for coming to visit me."

The Eighth Princess did not take credit for it. She smiled and pushed Ji Jinyou forward: "Xiaojiu was worried about your injury and said she wanted to come and see you. If you want to thank someone, just thank her."

Xue Yili thanked Ji Jinyou specially again, and then said, "Princess Nine is welcome to come and play anytime."

Ji Jinyou nodded seriously: "Okay, I will definitely come often."

She will come to see Little Proton more often in the future. So many things have happened in the past few days, all of which have deviated from the original plot.

If things continue to develop in this way, maybe she and her mother can really survive the Double Ninth Festival and survive.

If she could live well forever, Dasheng is her country, so she naturally hopes that Dasheng will be well.

The original plot says that Xue Yili will destroy Dasheng when he grows up. That's because he was in a miserable situation in the Dasheng Palace, and Cong'an, whom he regarded as a brother, was killed, so he was full of hatred for Dasheng.

Now that Cong'an is alive, if everyone is nicer to him, allowing him to feel warm and grow up happily, he probably won't turn evil in the future, and there will be no reason for him to destroy a place that makes him happy whenever he thinks of it.

Therefore, she had to visit him more often, care about him more, make him feel better, and thus save Dasheng.

Otherwise, she had no other choice. She couldn't just encourage His Majesty to kill him like the evil Thirteenth Prince did.

Xue Yili is only nine years old this year. He was sent here a few years ago. At that time, he was just a child of four or five years old, alone and away from home. It’s actually quite pitiful when you think about it.

In her previous life, she was an orphan. The director of the orphanage said that she was abandoned in the grass by the river and was found accidentally. The police couldn't find her family, so they sent her to the orphanage.

Therefore, whenever she saw an abandoned child, she would always think of herself and couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Seeing the little girl nodding her head and answering very seriously, Xue Yili smiled, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently touched her chubby little hand, and said, "Okay."

After bidding farewell to Xue Yili, the three sisters returned to Mingzhu Palace with their respective maids. After lunch, the three of them squeezed into bed to take a nap.

Princess Seven and Princess Eight woke up after sleeping for a while. The two of them lay on the bed, one on the left and one on the right. They held their chins and looked at the chubby girl who was still sleeping soundly, talking in a low voice as they watched.

The two chatted about what happened today and the script they read last time. It seemed like they had endless things to talk about and they kept chatting for half an hour until Ji Jinyou woke up from a deep sleep.

The two of them tidied up the little girl and carried her to the couch. The three of them ate some snacks and fruits, then went out to play.

After walking around for a while, the seven or eight princesses decided to go see the Empress, so the three of them went to the Fengyi Palace again.

On the way, they met Concubine Jing Guifei, and the three of them went forward to greet her.

Concubine Jing Gui smiled sweetly and praised each one in turn. She praised the Seventh Princess, then the Eighth Princess, and then the Ninth Princess.

Although Concubine Jing's voice was very gentle, her compliments were pleasant to the ear, and her smile was very sincere, Ji Jinyou just felt that it seemed a little fake.

She relied on her young age to pretend to be ignorant, lowered her head to look at her beautiful shoes, and talked to the system in her mind: [General, what kind of person is Concubine Jing Gui? ]

Upon hearing this, Concubine Jing Gui was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at the little girl who was kicking her feet. The smile on her face gradually faded and she felt very unhappy.

How could Xiaojiu be so unruly that she actually talked about her in front of her? Was it because she had become arrogant recently because His Majesty, the Queen, and the Imperial Concubine had all doted on her?

She was just about to open her mouth to reprimand him when she heard a young man's voice suddenly.

[I saw in the synopsis that this Concubine Jing Gui is not someone who is easy to deal with. Youzi, think about it, even when Concubine Li framed her for being with the eunuch, she was able to turn the tables and successfully kill the eunuch. Do you think she can be a good person? ]
