Although the taciturn Eleven did not speak, he looked as delicate as a New Year doll. He quickly followed Duan Yiling and stepped forward to the side of Queen Duan.
The wet nurse handed the little princess to Duan Yiling and gave her careful instructions.
"Young Master, the princess is too young. You have to be careful, understand?"
Duan Yiling is usually very naughty. He is the only one with an older brother in the family. He has wanted a little sister for a long time. When he learned that his aunt the queen had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, he was so happy.
"I know."
He carefully held the little princess in his arms. The little princess had round eyes and tender cheeks, looking so cute.
Duan Yiling kissed the little princess happily, "Ling'er has a sister now, that's great! I'm the first one to have a sister!"
Empress Duan was in a good mood and said with a smile, "If you have time in the future, come to the palace and play with your sister."
Duan Yiling nodded heavily. This was exactly what he wanted.
"Aunt, does my sister have a name?"
"The Emperor bestowed her with a name yesterday, conferring her the title Princess Fu'an, and gave her the names Xiao Ruyu and Xiao Rujin."
Duan Yiling murmured, "As beautiful as pearls and jade, what a nice name! My dear sister, when you grow up you will have a brother to protect you. You must remember your brother's name. My name is Duan Yiling."
The Duke of Zhenguo rolled his eyes at his youngest son and said, "Yu'er is so young, how can you remember your name?"
"Who knows, my sister and I may be in sync with each other. I don't care. Sister Yu'er and I are the best in the world!"
Xiao Ruyu blinked and complained secretly.
[Ah, this is my mother’s little nephew, the love-brained one in the future, I didn’t expect him to be so cute and delicate when he was little! ]
Duan Yiling's hand holding the little princess almost shook. He glanced around and saw the person speaking in a soft voice. It didn't sound like the Queen's aunt, and it was even less likely to be a maid in the palace.
He fixed his eyes on the little princess's cheek, unable to conceal his surprise.
Could it be the little princess who spoke just now?
What is love brain? Can you eat it?
Before Duan Yiling could come to his senses, Xiao Ruyu continued talking to herself.
[It is said that women on the street should not be picked up. My little cousin grew up and yearned for the world of martial arts, so he went out to travel around the world. He accidentally saved a woman and insisted on marrying her, which almost made my uncle sick.]
[He was a handsome man who could have made great contributions to the Celestial Empire, but because of that woman he abandoned everything and ended up with his family destroyed by that woman. This is a tragic story...]
[Oh, and in the end I lost an arm and watched my sweetheart marry someone else...]
Duan Yiling's mouth twitched. He had been praised for his intelligence since he was a child.
I have read quite a few storybooks, and listened to stories about the martial arts world with my brother, but none of them are as outrageous as what the little princess said...
No, the point is why he can hear the little princess talking, is he gifted? Is he the chosen one?
If that's the case, he'd better avoid what Yu'er said.
He doesn't want to be in love. He will never skip classes again. He wants to study hard and get a good degree!
Empress Duan, who was originally talking to the Duke of Zhenguo, changed her expression slightly. She originally thought that there was a crisis in the palace, but she didn't expect that her nephew would be so troublesome.
She immediately decided that she would keep a close eye on Ling'er's marriage in the future and would not let a woman of unknown origin wipe out her entire family.
Xiao Ruyu blinked her eyes. She felt that the breath was getting closer and closer. It seemed to be the little boy beside her little cousin.
She stretched out her chubby little hands, babbled and pointed at Duan Cenyue, trying to speak anxiously, but could only make baby voices.
[The aura of the little brother is so comfortable, and the missing spiritual power has returned a little. I don’t know who he is. 】
Xiao Ruyu let out a long sigh. It was a pity that she couldn't be abducted because it was still a baby's body.
[Mother, I want this little brother! Wuwuwu...]
Xiao Ruyu was thinking in her mind, and the fat boy started waving his hands and burst into tears in anxiety. She couldn't control her body's reaction.
Duan Yiling hurriedly hugged the little princess and coaxed her. When he heard the voice in his mind, he quickly threw the baby in his arms into the little boy's hands.
"Eleven, come and hug the little princess, she seems to like you very much!"
Duan Yiling also wanted to try and see whether the voice he just heard was the result of a collision with his brain or Yu'er's inner voice.
A child was suddenly stuffed into Duan Cenyue's arms. His face changed slightly and he wanted to throw the child out.
The little princess's crying face suddenly turned into a smile, as if she was not the one crying just now.
Xiao Ruyu felt that a lot of the spiritual power that she had lost had returned, and her body felt warm as if she was soaking in a hot spring.
However, Xiao Ruyu was also a little curious. The moment she touched the little boy, she felt that he was seriously poisoned.
This poison was the one that her enemies had given her in her previous life in Medicine King Valley, and it bound the spring silkworms.
She became more and more curious about the little boy. How could he be poisoned by the Spring Silkworm at such a young age? When the poison took effect, it was so painful that it was more terrible than death.
Could it be that there is someone in this world who would poison the spring silkworms? Xiao Ruyu became more and more curious.
Seeing Xiao Ruyu's rare calmness, Queen Duan knew that her daughter really liked this child.
Queen Duan seemed to be thinking about something. She couldn't help but look at Duan Cenyue twice more and said to the Duke of Zhenguo in confusion.
"Brother, whose son is this? Why have I never seen him before?"
Lord Duan explained, "He is an orphan I brought back from the battlefield six years ago. I named him Duan Cenyue, and his nickname is Eleven.
He has been trained as the secret guard of the Duan family. He has a good foundation. If he practices martial arts, he will definitely make great achievements in the future."
Queen Duan coughed lightly and spoke directly.
"Brother, I have always been a little worried about Jin'er being replaced, so I wanted to find a guard for Yu'er. I saw that Yu'er likes your Eleven very much. I wonder if you can give up and let Eleven stay with Yu'er?"
Lord Duan hesitated for a moment. He knew his sister never spoke easily, and since they were all family, it didn't matter.
Lord Duan nodded and said, "If Yu'er likes it, let Eleven stay in the palace to protect Yu'er. My queen, you and I are brother and sister, so there is no need to be polite about many things."
When Xiao Ruyu heard what her uncle said, she cheered happily in her heart.
[Uncle is so nice, he really loves Yu'er. ]
Lord Duan looked around with a confused look in his eyes. Oh, he is really getting old and he is even having auditory hallucinations.
Queen Duan was moved. After experiencing life and death, she valued family affection more and more.
"Thank you, brother. How are my parents?"
Lord Duan smiled slightly, "Dad and Mom are in good health. If you have time, go back and visit them. They are thinking of you after all."
"When the baby is one month old, I will return home to visit my family. I'll still trouble you to take good care of our parents."
Thinking that it was getting late, Empress Duan ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare lunch and invited Lord Duan and his two children to have lunch together.
