Two hours later.

Xiao Ruyu felt dry in the mouth and licked her dry lips.

Eleven handed her some tea, and she gulped down a large cup of tea.

[That’s all for now. From now on, it’s about my sister returning to the palace.]

Xiao Rujin was still in high spirits and kept pestering Xiao Ruyu, "Sister, if you have other stories in the future, please tell me."

His face was full of anticipation, and his pupils were clear and bright.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ruyu was very pleased and hugged him gently.

[Of course you can, we’ll talk about it later. ]

Xiao Rujin lowered his eyes as if in deep thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head.

"It's not enough to just talk about it. I want to write down my sister's experiences in a storybook."

"Let all the people in the world know about my sister's heroic deeds in the future!"

【ah?】

Xiao Ruyu couldn't help laughing and scratched his cheek, "Write it into a storybook? Can you write, little brother?"

This is a crucial question. Xiao Rujin thought about it carefully and lowered his head in disappointment.

"Ever since I fell ill, I have been lying in bed and have not practiced calligraphy..."

Xiao Ruyu couldn't bear it, so she pulled him to the desk.

[It’s okay, I can write it. I’ll write it for you.]

Eleven followed closely behind him and was quite interested in this "storybook".

"Little princess, let Eleven grind the ink for you."

He volunteered to take the inkstone from Xiao Ruyu's hand and his eyes fell on the paper.

"Sister can write, so can you teach me?"

Xiao Rujin followed behind Xiao Ruyu, eager to try.

Xiao Ruyu thought of the few words she knew and felt a little embarrassed. "Of course, I can, but I'll teach you how to write your name first."

She held Xiao Rujin's hand and wrote carefully on the paper.

After a while.

Xiao Rujin's slightly puzzled voice came, "Sister, is the word 'Xiao' really written like this?"

"Why is it different from what I saw my mother write before?"

Upon hearing this, Eleven also came forward curiously and couldn't help laughing as he looked at the words.

"Is this font originally created by the little princess?"

I saw a bunch of blurred words on the paper, and I couldn't tell the horizontal, vertical, left and right strokes. It looked like a ball of ink was poured together.

Xiao Ruyu's cheeks flushed and she squeezed Eleven's arm.

[This is my original font. No one else in the world can write it.]

[I will teach you now, you little brother! ]

She solemnly handed the brush to Xiao Rujin, as if she was completing a solemn task.

Xiao Rujin was stunned for a moment, and blurted out subconsciously, "But this word sounds like a dog crawling..."

Eleven couldn't help laughing out loud, but after Xiao Ruyu rolled his eyes at him, he forced himself to suppress the corners of his mouth.

[Humph, you actually don’t understand this princess’s great creation. ]

[Forget it, forget it. I’ll teach you calligraphy later.]

Xiao Ruyu jumped off the desk, made a playful face, turned around and ran away, but bumped into someone's arms.

【Mother! 】

"I heard your laughter from outside."

Queen Duan smiled softly and picked up Xiao Ruyu, "Let mother come and see why you are so happy."

Seeing that she was about to walk towards the table, Xiao Ruyu quickly jumped down and rushed over the words she had just written.

[No... I was just playing with my stinky little brother...]

Xiao Rujin also knew that she was very proud, so she tried to smooth things over for her and quietly crumpled up the paper on the table and threw it at her feet.

"My sister is telling me interesting things outside the palace."

Seeing the cursive calligraphy destroyed, Xiao Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief and took Xiao Rujin's little hand.

[Yes, my brother is cute. ]

Looking at the intimacy between the two of them, Queen Duan had a loving look on her face and felt deeply relieved.

"You two little brats, you are enough for me."

She picked them up, one on each side, and said, "It's time for lunch. You must be hungry now."

As she finished speaking, Xiao Ruyu's stomach really started to growl.

She touched her belly a little embarrassedly and leaned into his arms.

【My mother still understands me. 】

…

At noon, in the inner kitchen.

Xiao Ruyu and Xiao Rujin stood on either side of Queen Duan, waiting obediently for dinner.

Looking around, today's food had added a few dishes that Xiao Rujin liked.

In the past, when he was sick, he would be bedridden and have people take him to bed every day.

This is the first time we have gathered together like this.

"Jin'er, this is your favorite Fuling cake. I specially asked the imperial kitchen to make more today."

Queen Duan gave a look to the maid who was serving the food, and the maid immediately picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Xiao Rujin's bowl.

Xiao Ruyu lowered her head to eat the food in the bowl when suddenly a pair of chopsticks appeared in front of her.

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Rujin putting the Poria cocos cake into her bowl.

"This is……"

Queen Duan was a little puzzled and was wondering.

"Sister also loves to eat this. She must not have been able to eat it in the palace a few days ago. Now she eats more."

Xiao Rujin's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at her eagerly.

[My stinky little brother is so nice to me. ]

Xiao Rujin's eyelashes flickered, and she couldn't wait to take the piece of Poria cocos cake and put it in her mouth.

Suddenly, she felt a bitter taste in her lips.

Xiao Ru felt an itchy sensation from her teeth. She bit her lip and realized that the place where her teeth grew was starting to itch again.

Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Queen Duan turned her head and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong with Yu'er?"

Xiao Ruyu bared his teeth, showing off his newly grown big teeth, his eyes full of pride.

[Look, mom, I have several canine teeth. ]

Queen Duan looked closely and saw that those white teeth had grown like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, with only the pointed tips showing.

She was surprised and delighted. She reached out her hand and touched it carefully. "It really has grown teeth."

"In this case, you can't eat this cake anymore. Don't damage your teeth."

Xiao Ruyu watched helplessly as the Poria cocos cake in front of her was removed. The duck that had just reached her mouth flew away, and she pouted her lips.

"Mother knows that you like to eat cakes, wait until your teeth grow fully."

Empress Duan looked at her with a smile and asked the inner kitchen to bring over a few bowls of meat soup.

Xiao Rujin looked at her from the side, stuck out his tongue and licked his teeth, but there were still only those two big teeth.

"Mother, why don't I have canine teeth yet?"

He was a little self-doubting and looked at Xiao Ruyu with envy.

[It's probably because you, my little brother, are not getting enough nutrition. Mother needs to give you more nutrition. ]

Seeing Xiao Ruyu's answer, Queen Duan waved her hand thoughtfully.

“Please remove all these cakes from now on.”

"Change some nutritious food to nourish the little princess and the little prince."

"yes."

The nanny in charge agreed and took all the cakes away.

“Mother…”

Xiao Rujin stared at Xiao Ruyu as her favorite cakes were gone.

[Okay, these broths are delicious too. ]

Xiao Ruyu sniffed the pigeon soup in front of her and couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful.

The fresh and rich flavor bursts in your mouth, and the tender pigeon meat falls off the bone with just a bite.

"The Emperor has arrived——"
