Chapter 194: Are you crazy about love?
Xia Palace
Today is a day off, no need to go to court.
Yuanruan slept until noon before waking up.
She was still getting dressed when she heard the laughter of a baby outside.
Yuan Ruan's heart tensed up, and then she saw Concubine Rong and the seventh princess Qi Yue walk in, each holding a baby.
The dragon and phoenix twins waved desperately at Yuanruan. After being placed on the bed, they crawled happily to her, smeared her face with saliva, and then huddled together with Yuanruan, yawning and falling asleep.
The Empress and Concubine Rong were so touched by the way the three little ones were crowding each other.
Yuanruan moved his body with difficulty to avoid the two little feet that were pressed against his chest.
She looked up at the sky helplessly: [Is it because I have such a good luck with babies? ]
The system said as if it was a matter of course: [Children under three years old are the most sensitive. Ah Ruan is the fate of the country, so of course they like you.]
Qi Yue narrowed her eyes and calmly carried Yuan Ruan out from between the Eighth Princess and the Eighth Prince.
The twins rolled into a ball in an instant.
The two babies woke up with their heads bumping into each other. They looked up confusedly, looked at Yuanruan who was being held with their big eyes, and almost at the same time, they both stretched out their little hands and cried like thunder.
Qi Yue froze in place for a moment.
Rongpin was also speechless at Qiyue's action. She stepped forward and picked up the Eighth Princess and the Eighth Prince. She glared at Qiyue and said, "You are so old, and you are still fighting for this..."
Qi Yue pursed her lips.
Rongpin looked at Qiyue helplessly and said, "How can I treat you badly? You are so reserved in the palace..."
She was about to say something about the ways of the world, but was afraid that Yuan Ruan would learn it. After all, Yuan Ruan and Qi Yue had different situations and treatments in the palace. Qi Yue had to be more reserved, but the young imperial teacher did not need to.
Qi Yue hummed and replied, "Mother, I know."
Rongpin wanted to say a few more gentle words when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. Everyone looked closely and found that it was the eldest princess jogging over.
She had not expected that there would be so many people in the tent. She was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "Great news. Improved textile machine. Oh, yes, Master Cheng has made a textile machine."
Yuanruan: [Tong'er, your love brain is working! ]
System: [It’s rare that I’m not completely addicted to the Gentle Country. Not bad.]
Yuanruan cooperated very well and held his face: "Wow! Improvement, weaving, sewing, sounds good, it's amazing!"
The other three were amused by Yuanruan's exaggerated performance.
In order to hold back her laughter, Rongpin could only exaggerate as well: "Wow, how's the improvement? How amazing is the weaving?"
The eldest princess was also subconsciously misspoken and boasted, "Wow, it's amazing..." Halfway through speaking, the eldest princess quickly found her rhythm, "Ahem. That spinning machine can spin yarn without human labor, it's very amazing."
Yuanruan was nodding at first. She was thinking that Daxia was now evolving from hand-cranked looms to pedal-operated looms. This was also a big step forward for science and productivity.
But when she heard the eldest princess say that the spinning wheel could be operated almost without manpower, Yuan Ruan was completely stunned. The next second she turned her head sharply and was so surprised that she almost fell out of Qi Yue's arms.
"Be careful!" Qi Yue hugged Yuan Ruan tightly.
But Yuan Ruan still held her shoulders and tried to look in the direction of the princess: "No need, manpower? Spinning?"
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment: "Yes." Then she smiled again, "Isn't it amazing? But not as amazing as the imperial teacher."
Yuanruan was stunned and exclaimed: "Much better than me!"
The eldest princess and her two companions thought Yuan Ruan was just being humble, but the next second, they were baptized by a thunderous voice like a storm:
Yuan Ruan: [I am so dumbfounded! Is Cheng Weining some kind of mechanical master or academic giant? What era is this? How can he make a textile machine that requires almost no manpower? ]
The eldest princess and the other two were startled and pricked up their ears silently.
System: [I am also confused. I remember that it was written in the gossip that in order to prevent the second princess from getting tired, it was specially made to resemble a pedal-operated spinning machine. Yes, I remember it was a pedal-operated version! Why did he make a bigger fuss after getting married? Has his love brain gone crazy? Has technology gone crazy too? ]
Yuanruan: [Pfft. It's okay to be crazy sweet. Emma, I'm so curious. I have to go see it with my own eyes. Maybe I'll witness history!]
The three princesses: !!!
Is it even more amazing than what the little master had predicted before? Is it that amazing?
Yuan Ruan stretched out his hand and said, "I want to go and see. I want to go and see!"
Qi Yue was the first to agree. She nodded and walked out. After two steps, she came back and asked the eldest princess, "Where is it?"
The eldest princess came back to her senses in a daze: "It's..." After a pause, she walked directly in front of Qi Yue, "Come on, come on, I'll take you there." Even the imperial teacher was so surprised, so she had to take a closer look.
The eldest princess, the seventh princess and Yuan Ruan had just gone out when they saw a small figure squatting at the door.
Qi Yue braked the car, but the eldest princess narrowly avoided hitting the other person and stepped over him.
Princess: ...
The little figure that was stepped over: ...
Soon, the mushroom-shaped fifth prince turned around and suddenly cried out, "Gentleman, how can a gentleman endure the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch?"
The eldest princess was so embarrassed that her scalp was numb, but she managed to calm down and said, "I didn't see you just now. I really didn't mean it... Are you okay?"
Just when Yuan Ruan thought that the Fifth Prince would still make a big scene, the Fifth Prince suddenly retracted his eyes.
He looked at the eldest princess pitifully and said, "I, I'm fine. In fact, I'm used to being ignored."
The eldest princess softened her heart a little and helped the fifth prince up: "But has anyone bullied you?"
The fifth prince pursed his lips, his eyes lonely: "No, it's just... I live alone and I'm scared." After saying that, his little eyes looked at the eldest princess expectantly.
The eldest princess's expression softened.
System: [Wow. This guy is actually teasing.]
Yuan Ruan was stunned: [Tong'er, why do you say that? ]
System: [Really? Host, I didn't lie to you! I just saw that this guy has been wandering around the Imperial Master's Mansion for several days. He originally wanted to scam you and make you feel guilty and do him a favor. Now he has just changed his target to the eldest princess.]
The eldest princess's expression faded a little in an instant.
Yuan Ruan: [He is trying to scam me? What does he want me to do for him? Is Concubine De sick?]
Defei was banished to the cold palace and was somewhat neglected. Although Yuanruan hated this person, he would not stand by and watch her die.
System: [No. He wants to trick you into promising to take Concubine De out of the cold palace.]
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Who gave him this idea? He hates Concubine De so much!]
The eldest princess and the seventh princess felt the same way. If they really came here to bother the young imperial tutor and the emperor got furious, Concubine De would be in even greater trouble.
System: [No, it's just what he thought. He thinks you should be pampered... Hey, he has something in his hand.]
At this time, the fifth prince pursed his lips and suddenly approached Yuan Ruan and whispered: "I, I have a secret. I want to exchange it with you. I know who leaked the route of my father's tour."
Yuanruan: [!!!]
The eldest princess and the seventh princess:!!!
