Chapter 480, The Lotus Flower
Xia Siheng held her in his arms and leaned against her, saying, "Wan'er, I agree with you. This is a major national event. I don't know what the outcome will be. If it's not good, you can live however you want in the future, and you don't have to worry about my reputation after death..."
"If everything goes well, I will take off my armor and return home, and spend my life with you, my daughter, and a few children. Our family will be happy and happy."
His words seemed a little heavy.
Yes, before the late emperor ascended the throne, Donglin was also a big country that was on par with Daxia. It was not easy to conquer them!
If it was before he got married, he would fight to the death to quell the war without any consideration.
But now, he has a home.
Liu Wan put her arms around his waist and buried her face in his arms without saying a word.
My heart remains the same, you are my life, how else can I live?
The carriage quickly returned to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
When Liu Wan and Xia Siheng arrived at their daughter's yard,
Yuan Bao had already told them everything.
"He has been very well behaved in the room these past two days. Sometimes he would go to find Zimu, but even when he was alone with Zimu, he didn't do anything. He just sat quietly with his eyes closed and meditated."
"Early this morning, he said he was going to the study to find Zimu again. My brother Jingwu and I didn't stop him and went to have dinner. After dinner, we went to Zimu's study and found that no one was there... Gu Ming was gone too."
Yuanbao told Liu Wan and the others what had happened again when he saw them coming back.
Liu Wan said, "Don't worry, ask Zimu!"
So they found Zimu over.
Zimu said, "He never disturbed me from studying. He just sat quietly and meditated these past two days. The only thing he said was late last night..."
"What did he say?" Liu Wan asked.
Zimu pursed his lips, lowered his head and took off the jade pendant on his waist. The lotus lace on it was very conspicuous.
"He asked me to show him the jade pendant."
"I didn't expect that after seeing it, he was very unstable and kept asking me if it was you, mother, who made the lace. I said yes, and he asked how could you make such a lace. I said mother knows a lot of things. Later, sister Panchun brought in tea and snacks, and he stopped asking."
After these words came out, everyone looked at the jade pendant in Zimu's hand.
They didn't think it was strange.
Women in the palace would do needlework and some handicrafts to pass the time.
Although the lace made by Liu Wan was a common pattern, it looked more exquisite and unique than other laces.
There's nothing strange about it.
"I know where he is." Liu Wan said with a smile.
Several people followed her to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Panchun and Wangxia were holding a maid's basket and making a brocade.
The lotus brocade they made was very ordinary. They picked it up and looked at it, and felt that it was not as beautiful as the one made by Liu Wan.
"I don't know how the princess can make a brocade like that. I have been serving her since I was a child, and she has never learned it from anyone!"
Panchun looked at Shen Chuanlian on the side and gave him the brocade she had just made.
Early this morning, the child and Gu Ming came to the main courtyard to find the princess, but the princess entered the palace, and there were only a few maids in the main courtyard.
When asked about this young master, he didn't say anything.
Gu Ming said that Shen Chuanlian wanted a lotus brocade and asked the two if they knew how to make one.
Seeing that the little boy was introverted and eager, Panchun softened her heart. Since she had nothing to do anyway, she and Wangxia played the Lotus Link here for the whole morning.
"Haven't you learned it from anyone?" Shen Chuanlian raised his eyes and asked Panchun.
Panchun nodded, "The princess hasn't learned it. I am her personal maid and have always followed her. If she has learned it, then I must have learned it on the side!"
The princess was never stingy in letting her learn things.
They learned to read and write from the princess.
Shen Chuanlian squeezed the lotus link that Panchun played in his hand, and his knuckles trembled slightly.
The lotus link played by this maid is different from that played by Liu Wan!
Liu Wan has never learned it!
She was born with such a unique lotus link!
How could it be such a coincidence.
His biological mother in his previous life was also born with the ability to tie such a unique lotus brocade, but other people could never learn it!
"What's wrong with you, young master?" Wangxia asked when she saw that his face was not right.
Shen Chuanlian shook his head, and finally raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I'm fine, thank you two sisters!"
Panchun and Wangxia looked at each other, and then persuaded, "Young master, you should go back to Master Zimu's courtyard. They will be worried when they see you are not there."
Although he looked very pitiful, it was the little princess who asked him to stay well and not run around.
Because they were in the main courtyard of the palace, the two were willing to accompany him.
"Yeah."
Shen Chuanlian responded lightly, and was about to leave with Gu Ming!
As soon as he stood up, he saw a beautiful baby girl holding a pink shovel and running towards him!
"Damn it, you made us look so hard. What are you doing in the main courtyard? Do you want to do something bad? I'll beat you up!"
Xia Wanwan raised the shovel and rushed over.
Shen Chuanlian instinctively felt fear for the shovel in her hand.
He widened his eyes and ran back quickly.
But he bumped into Gu Ming's thigh.
In the end, he was thrown to the ground by the baby and cried in pain.
Xia Wanwan pressed him to the ground, raised the shovel and was about to shoot him on the head, but was blocked by Gu Ming.
“Sister Wan, Sister Wan, he really didn’t do anything bad, he just came here to hang out because he was bored, he won’t be shot in the head!”
His poor master, the great devil is being beaten by a kid every day.
Panchun and Wangxia saw the commotion, and hurriedly stood up and walked over, saying, "Little princess, he just came to us to beat the rope!"
"Who is the rope, why do you want to beat him? Tell me!" Xia Wanwan's little face was fierce.
"It's just, making a handicraft, not doing anything bad." Panchun said.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Panchun pointed to the leftover silk thread and scissors on the side.
Xia Wanwan slowly put down the shovel and let Shen Chuan pick it up.
Shen Chuan's eyes were wet, and his little face stared at Xia Wanwan with grievance.
This child, fierce, is really hateful, you can't beat him, and you can't kill him, what a beautiful face!
Xia Wanwan: "If you stare at me again, I'll spank you!"
Shen Chuanlian quickly lowered his head and looked away, looking humiliated but gritting his teeth to endure.
Liu Wan and others walked in.
After looking around, she understood why Shen Chuanlian came here.
She squatted down and asked, "Do you want Panchun and the others to beat you with Lotus Silk?"
"Yes, Princess, I beat the one in his hand." Panchun smiled.
Shen Chuanlian pursed his lips and spread his palms. The wrinkled Lotus Silk lay quietly in his palms.
It was completely different from the one Liu Wan beat.
Liu Wan smiled and said, "This is Panchun's first time making a necklace. She is not yet proficient. Let her take it back!"
Shen Chuanlian's face suddenly darkened. He suddenly clenched the rope in his hand and looked at Liu Wan and the people behind her, with a face full of defense and loss. He
was unwilling to give him even this?
Is he so annoying?
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Wan stood up and rubbed his head, "Panchun, bring the silk thread, I will make one for him."
"I originally thought that it was not decent to give a single rope as a gift. It needs to be matched with a good piece of jade. I will take you to the warehouse to pick out a jade pendant you like. It will look much better with the rope wrapped around it, just like Zimu's."
Shen Chuanlian heard this and suddenly felt less disappointed.
He silently loosened his clenched hands.
