Hearing the name "Little Eleven" and seeing his extreme forbearance, Chen Ahfu felt bad. He had only been in the palace for a few days, but he seemed to have grown up several years in an instant. It turned out that although he was obedient and cunning, he was not good at hiding his thoughts and was not good at forbearance. The palace was indeed a place where people could grow up quickly.
Chen Ahfu smiled and said casually, "Oh, Your Highness the Eleventh Prince looks even more majestic and handsome in this dress."
Not only did Concubine Shan like to hear this, but Little Eleven also smiled embarrassedly.
After the greetings, Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er rushed forward to hug Xiao Shiyi's legs, shouting, "Dian Dian, Dian Dian, I want you, I want you, I want you."
Little Eleven glanced at Chu Hanyan who was standing still, lowered his head, held the two little brothers' hands and said with a smile, "I miss you, too." After he sat down, he pulled the two little brothers to his legs, one by one.
At this time, two discordant voices emerged. One was, "Stinky Dabao, stinky Dabao, stinky Dabao..." It was Chu Lingzhi's voice.
One is, "Dabao wants to pee, Dabao wants to pee, Dabao wants to pee." Although the voice is a little childish, it can still be heard as Xiao Shiyi's voice.
Seeing the two parrots, one big and one small, flapping their wings and chirping, everyone burst into laughter, especially the Sixth Princess, who loved them very much.
Chen Afu and the others sat down, and Concubine Shan beckoned Chu Hanyan over, hugged her and talked to Chen Afu. The Crown Princess asked someone to bring Xiao Yu'er over, and she took it, hugged her and kept praising her.
Concubine Shan and the prince's women were very courteous to Chen Afu and his mother, which made Chen Afu feel relaxed. She told some interesting stories about Xiaoyi when he was in the folk, which made the women laugh a lot, and Concubine Shan laughed and cried.
Seeing this kind of Concubine Shan Xian, Chen Afu was completely relieved for Xiao Shiyi. It can be seen that this mother is kind and loves her son very much.
In the future, if Xiao Shiyi and I handle the situation properly, the two should be able to maintain a good "king and subject" relationship.
After talking for a while, everyone got up and went to the Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother is already seventy-one years old, with a head full of white hair, but she looks still in good health.
Because of Xiaoyi and Mrs. Chu San, she liked Chen Afu and her son very much. She gave them a gift for meeting them, held Chen Afu's hand and praised her for her beauty and delicious snacks, and invited them and Concubine Shan Xianfei to have lunch in the Cining Palace.
During the meal, the Queen Mother said to Concubine Shan, "You are so much younger than me, and you are still middle-aged, but why are you so pure and simple? Your mentality is even older than mine. Now that Xiaojiu is the crown prince and Xiaoyi has returned to you, you should cheer up and live a good life... Those past events are in the past, and people should look forward."
After hearing the empress dowager's suggestive words, Concubine Shan blushed and her eyes turned red, and she stood up and responded.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Shiyi quickly stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother, saying, "Don't worry, Grandmother, Xiao Shiyi will show respect to you and make you live happily every day."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "What a good child. He is filial and has a good personality." She smiled at Chen Afu and said, "Little Eleven's personality is like Huachang, likable, sweet-mouthed, and can coax people. If this child is not sent out of the palace to be raised, his personality will probably be like Little Nine, acting like an old man at a young age."
And he made the crowd very happy.
When Chen Afu and others returned to Zhuxuan, it was already 3:00 p.m. and several children had fallen asleep in the carriage.
The children were sent back to sleep, and someone took Zhuifeng's family to the lake for a stroll. The family was bored in the palace for a few days. Because the dogs looked fierce and Xiao Shiyi was not familiar with the palace, they were locked up in Siyuan Palace and not let out to play.
Chen Ahfu sat on the kang in a daze. This trip to the palace was quite pleasant, and those women also gave her enough face. She was of course very self-aware. This face was not only given to herself who supported the eleven children, but more importantly, it was given to the Chu family for their dedication and sacrifice to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Since the Queen Mother said that she likes to eat the snacks she made, I will make some every now and then. I will send some to the Queen Mother, and some to Concubine Shan and the Crown Princess, so that Little Eleven can also eat them from time to time.
It seems that Xiao Eleven will go to the Imperial Study to study tomorrow. Although the children of the royal family are not easy to get along with, it is always better to have a familiar little Li Xuan.
Thinking of little Li Xuan, and then thinking of those eyes that were once clear but now a little sad, Chen Ahfu's heart ached again. The day before yesterday, that is, on the night of the 19th, Princess Rui and Li Xuan came to the Chu Mansion to play, and Li Xuan seemed to dislike going to the palace to study.
From what Princess Rui said, those grandchildren tended to exclude Li Xuan, and two of them even called him a fool in private, which made Li Xuan very sad. Needless to say, this must have something to do with Li Chao, the eldest son of the Rui King. Although Li Chao was a bastard, he had been growing up in front of Concubine Zhou De, and had been hanging out with those grandchildren in the palace since he was a child. With Zhou De as a support, he would definitely exclude and be dissatisfied with his legitimate brother.
Princess Rui said with red eyes, "Xuan'er didn't want to go to school in the palace, and even pretended to be sick. I thought, if he doesn't want to go, then don't go, just say he's not in good health, and hire a teacher in the palace to teach him. But my prince said that if he can't even handle a few children, how can we dare to hand over the entire palace to him in the future? Since others are still saying he is stupid, then he has to show others that he is not stupid..."
Although Prince Rui's words were good, it was heartbreaking to let a child under six years old experience such unpleasantness. As the saying in the previous life said, to grow up, you must experience pain. This was even more true for a child of the royal family.
With Xiao Shiyi's help, Xiao Lixuan's life should be better in the future, right?
Except for Little Eleven, all the other princes have grown up. Those who are studying in the imperial study are all the grandchildren of the emperor. Little Eleven has a high seniority, and he is the prince's younger brother, so those grandchildren dare not bully him at least on the surface. In addition, he is smart and cunning, so as long as he is not scheming against others, his life will be much easier than that of the simple little Li Xuan...
At the end of the afternoon, Chen Afu took the children to Anrong Hall again. The old marquis wanted to see his grandson and great-grandson every day, so he suggested that now that the eldest wife had returned, the family should still get together every day, so he decided to go to Anrong Hall for dinner every night.
When they arrived at Anrong Hall, they unexpectedly saw Chu Hua leading his son Heng Ge'er and daughter Yi Jie'er. It was the first time for Chen Afu to see Yi Jie'er, and it was also the first time for Chu Hua to see Xiao Yu'er. They exchanged greetings. Chen Afu picked up Yi Jie'er again, and Chu Hua took Xiao Yu'er over.
Yi Jie'er is already half a year old, and she is as cute as a white jade. She smiled at Chen Afu with her lips pursed. Chen Afu kissed her twice, making the little girl laugh out loud. Chen Afu said, "Oh, Jie'er is so beautiful, she looks more like my sister-in-law."
