Chapter 390 The future is in his own hands
"Who cares?" Yuan Xiaonian changed his posture and looked like he didn't want to care.
Concubine Jing took Li Suining's words to heart and said, "Leping is right. Come on, pick two colors for your brother too."
"Hehe..." Little Dumpling quickly picked blue and green.
"Okay." Concubine Jing took Li Suining's little hand, measured her size with a dime, and called Yuan Xiaonian to come over for help.
The little dumpling stretched out his little hands obediently. He had eaten too well in the East Palace these days, and his hands had obviously become fatter. There were a few small pits clearly visible on the back of his hands, and his fingers were short and chubby, which made him look particularly cute.
Yuan Xiaonian poked at those holes mischievously and said sarcastically, "The food in the East Palace is really good."
"It hurts!" Li Suining felt pain from being poked and looked at the person who attacked him with a wronged look on his face.
Concubine Jing quickly protected her little hand, raised her head and glanced at Yuan Xiaonian, "What do you know? This is a blessed pit, which means that we in Leping are blessed."
Yuan Xiaonian snorted again. How could Leping be so lucky? Leping had died long ago.
He was in a bad mood, and the aura around him became much colder.
Soon, Concubine Jing measured the size of the little dumpling. She couldn't help laughing when she saw a few short pieces of thread put together. She said to herself, "Mother should make it a little bigger so you can take care of it for a few more years."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Suining was very happy. No one had ever made gloves for her before.
It's Yuan Xiaonian's turn.
His fingers were long and thin, with slightly large joints. When he stretched out one of his big hands, it could hold up several of Xiaotuanzi's hands.
Li Suining sat next to him, stretching her neck to look curiously. She noticed that Yuan Xiaonian had several scars on his hands, some deep and some shallow, which looked a little scary.
She secretly glanced at Yuan Xiaonian, and when Yuan Xiaonian glared at her, she quickly shrank her neck and looked away.
When measuring Yuan Xiaonian's size, Concubine Jing remained silent. I don't know if she saw the scars, but she said nothing.
Finally, Yuan Xiaonian's size was measured.
"Second Prince, please go outside for a walk." Little Dumpling suddenly spoke.
"Why?" Yuan Xiaonian looked reluctant.
"Go ahead!" Little Dumpling climbed down from the chair and tried to pull him hard, but when he couldn't move him, he winked at him.
Yuan Xiaonian felt strange, but he could feel that Xiaotuanzi was really chasing him away, so he finally left.
But he didn't go far. He stood outside the door, paying attention to what was happening inside.
"My Queen!" Little Dumpling ran back to Concubine Jing and coaxed her in a baby voice, "If you feel bad, just cry."
As soon as Concubine Jing raised her head, tears started to flow.
How could a mother not notice the scar on her son's hand? It was just that she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. She didn't dare say a word, fearing that her tears would continue to flow and only make her son more worried.
"Your Highness!" Little Dumpling stood on tiptoe, trying hard to wipe the tears from Concubine Jing's eyes. "Don't worry, the Second Prince is great, great, great. As long as he can endure these difficult days, he will be happy again."
Concubine Jing burst into tears, clutching Li Suining's small hand, and tremblingly said, "It's me, I killed my own son."
"My lady, don't say that." Little Dumpling shook his head. "It will be fine. It will pass."
"It was me who killed my Xiaonian." Concubine Jing just kept crying. She had no expectations for the future that Xiaotuanzi talked about.
Yuan Xiaonian stood at the door and listened for a while, then left with his long legs.
He sat on the porch under the eaves and looked at his hands carefully.
Over the years, he had never looked at them carefully, and in his memory, they were always covered in blood.
Will everything be okay?
Yuan Xiaonian didn't know, but he understood that the future would be in his own hands.
Little Dumpling stayed with Concubine Jing for a while before finally coming out.
"Xiao Nian, send my sister back to the East Palace." Concubine Jing instructed Yuan Xiao Nian at the door.
"Okay!" Yuan Xiaonian did not refuse.
"Second Prince, just walk me to the door." Little Tuanzi didn't want to bother him. "Sister Shaoyao should be waiting for me there."
"Peony...Sister?" It seemed that Yuan Xiaonian noticed for the first time how Xiaotuanzi addressed the maid.
Li Suining didn't think anything was wrong and ran out of the cold palace. She turned around and said goodbye to Yuan Xiaonian, "Goodbye, Second Prince. I'll come to see you again when I have time."
After saying this, the little dumpling went to look for Shaoyao with his short legs.
Along the way, Shaoyao asked all kinds of questions, including whether the Second Prince Li Suining had bullied her.
"No, don't worry, Sister Shaoyao." Little Dumpling said against his will.
Shaoyao obviously didn't believe it either. "He even brought the little county lady up, and it's not considered bullying? If I hadn't been watching, he might have thrown the little county lady into the lake."
"No way." Li Suining was so frightened that he hugged his arms tightly and explained tremblingly, "I was playing with the Second Prince. He...wouldn't throw me into the lake."
"In short, I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shaoyao was still worried.
When the two returned to the East Palace, they saw Concubine Yi coming with Yuan Baoyu.
"Li Suining!" Yuan Baoyu ran over happily and took Li Suining's hand. "You will stay in Yonghua Palace tonight. The Crown Prince has already agreed."
"Huh?" Little Dumpling looked at the prince in confusion.
Yuan Huaihong chuckled, "It's like this, Concubine Yi and my fifth brother would like to invite you to stay at Yonghua Palace for one night. Xiao Suining, are you willing to go? No need to force yourself."
Yuan Baoyu was afraid that she would not agree, so he immediately listed everything in detail. "Li Suining, I asked the kitchen to make a lot of snacks, and we can eat together. I also used a lot of toys, small wooden horses, and balls of various sizes. Don't you want to play with them?"
Concubine Yi also smiled and said, "Yes, little Suining, Baoyu has made many preparations to welcome you. Are you willing to go?"
"Okay! I do!" Little Dumpling quickly agreed, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine Yi, and thank you, Brother Baoyu!"
"Great, great." Yuan Baoyu jumped up and down happily. He took Li Suining's hand and said, "Shall we go now?"
"Wait a minute." Little Tuanzi still remembered something, "Brother Crown Prince, can I borrow a few things from you?"
"What is it?" Yuan Huaihong asked curiously.
"Lu Ban Ball." Li Suining's expression was very serious. "The more complicated the better. Prince, can you lend me a few?"
She knew that in addition to the simplest one, Yuan Huaihong had several other Luban balls, all of which were extremely complicated, and some of them even Yuan Huaihong himself didn't understand how to play.
"Okay." Yuan Huaihong was very happy to see that Xiaotuanzi was interested in Luban balls. He took Xiaotuanzi directly to his treasure house and found more than a dozen Luban balls.
"You can pick any of these, but some are difficult and I can't figure them out."
"Thank you, Prince." Little Dumpling immediately picked two large ones. Then, she noticed there was another one on the table that was not yet assembled. "Prince, is that the one you didn't put together either?"
