Inside the Queen’s Palace.

Xiao Ruyu was worried all the way.

[The poison has been removed, why is my brother still weak? Is there something else wrong with him that I haven't diagnosed? ]

As he was thinking, his footsteps had already stepped into Xiao Rujin's bedroom.

The bedroom was empty and the palace maids were waiting at the door.

Xiao Ruyu was a little dissatisfied, "Has the nurse not come today?"

The maid at the door answered respectfully.

"Princess, there is something going on at home with the nurse and she is on her way."

Coming to the rocking basket, Xiao Ruyu tiptoed to look inside.

Eleven picked her up, saving her the trouble of standing on tiptoe.

Xiao Rujin has a fair little face and her eyes are 70% similar to Xiao Ruyu's.

Inside the bright pupils were shiny black pupils, moving around.

When he saw Xiao Ruyu coming, he grinned, stretched out his little hand to reach her, but all he could make was an unclear "wuwu" sound.

[My brother looks like my mother, and I look like my father. I am still cuter.]

Xiao Ruyu muttered to herself.

[It's been so long, I can even run on the ground, why can't you walk, little brother? ]

Xiao Ruyu's hands were on the edge of the crank and she was swinging them back and forth, feeling extremely depressed.

[Little brother, you should learn to walk soon. I want to take you out to play together. ]

[Now it’s just me and Eleven, my cousins ​​are not going to the palace, and my eldest brother is old enough to go to school…]

She was muttering to herself uncontrollably when she realized that her hand was being held by Xiao Rujin.

What happened the next second surprised Xiao Ruyu.

With the help of Xiao Ruyu, Xiao Rujin slowly stood up by grabbing the edge of the rocking basket, a sly smile flashed across his chubby little face.

He stood up and took two unsteady steps in the cradle, as if to prove it to Xiao Ruyu.

He can walk!

Xiao Ruyu's eyes widened and she almost screamed out.

"Brother, you will..."

"Oh, little prince, I am late."

The nanny's hurried voice came from the door, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.

After hearing the sound, Xiao Rujin quickly lay down on the bedding and began to crawl around with his small body.

Xiao Ruyu was stunned by this scene, and she realized something.

[Eleven, send the nurse away. I have something to say to my brother.]

Eleven reached out to stop the wet nurse's hand that was about to pick up Xiao Rujin, and spoke softly.

"It seems that the little prince has urinated. Please ask the nurse to get a new diaper."

After receiving the order, the wet nurse retreated.

Looking at Xiao Rujin's chubby little face, Xiao Ruyu asked in her heart.

[Stinky brother, can you speak? 】

[You have never called me sister. If you continue like this, I will not want you anymore.]

Xiao Rujin's eyes, as bright as stars, blinked and a soft, tender voice rang out.

"Sister, please don't leave me."

He could really hear his own voice!

[I told you, your sister is so smart, how could your brother be a little fool? ]

The haze in Xiao Ruyu's heart gradually cleared away. She picked up Xiao Rujin, who was about her age, and kissed him wildly on the face.

[You naughty brother, you even dared to hide me from your sister. I will kiss your face to pieces. ]

【My kiss, my kiss, my kiss. 】

"Sister, sister, it's all saliva."

Xiao Rujin struggled, but to no avail, and could only let Xiao Ruyu manipulate her.

Empress Duan had just returned from Emperor Shangwen when she saw this scene.

Xiao Rujin looked as if he had lost all hope in life, while Xiao Ruyu was kissing him madly on the face like a chicken pecking at rice.

Her heart softened, both glutinous rice balls were the apple of her eye.

"Okay, your brother is going to faint from your kiss."

Queen Duan spoke with a smile, separated the two of them, and hugged one in each hand.

"Mother, kiss me too."

Seeing Queen Duan coming, Xiao Ruyu finally let go of Xiao Rujin and turned around to hug her neck.

Seeing such a heartwarming scene, Eleven felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay here at the moment and quietly left.

He still remembered clearly the lotus seed soup that Xiao Ruyu had mentioned just now.

After leaving the bedroom, Eleven walked towards the lotus pond.

…

An hour later, Eleven came out of the kitchen coughing.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..." He was choked badly.

After finally cooking the lotus seed soup, the torch unexpectedly fell on the pile of firewood behind him and almost burned both him and the kitchen.

Billowing black smoke floated out of the kitchen. He quickly fetched two buckets of water and put out the fire, which was not very big.

Eleven looked very funny at this moment, with a layer of black ash on his face from the thick smoke.

But looking at the lotus seed soup that was still in shape in his hand, Eleven rolled up his sleeves and wiped his face.

When I thought of the princess’ happy little face after drinking this bowl of lotus seed soup, the dust on my body seemed nothing.

Xiao Ruyu played at Queen Duan's house until dark and found that Eleven was missing.

The palace maid carried her back to the bedroom for dinner, and she was just about to ask about Eleven's whereabouts.

Eleven walked in with a bowl and placed the lotus seed soup in front of Xiao Ruyu.

【What's this?】

Xiao Ruyu looked at the contents of the bowl with curiosity. White lotus seeds floated on top, the soup was rich and aromatic, and a scent filled her nose.

She quickly scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. The lotus seeds melted in her mouth, and the sweet taste surprised her.

[Lotus seed soup?! I didn’t expect you could make this. ]

[This is delicious, just as good as the one my master made. ]

Eleven scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable with the compliment.

"The princess likes it. I will cook for her every day from the eleventh day onwards."

Xiao Ruyu came forward and asked for a hug, and liked Shiyi even more.

I didn't expect that what I said casually was remembered firmly in his mind.

It was already time for dinner, but the servants who were supposed to serve the food were late.

Although he had just eaten lotus seed soup to fill his stomach, Xiao Ruyu still asked a question.

"Why is the food being served late today? This princess is starving."

The servant knelt down immediately to report.

"Reporting to the princess, I wonder who used the kitchen this afternoon and almost set it on fire."

"The pot for cooking rice got burnt, so the servants went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find a new pot, which delayed us."

Xiao Ruyu became interested in such an interesting thing.

But her eyes fell on the lotus seed soup next to her, and she immediately understood.

"Anyone can burn the pot. It seems his cooking skills are 'extremely good'."

She emphasized the last few words and couldn't close her mouth due to laughter.

[Is it you, Eleven? ]

Xiao Ruyu did not expose Eleven openly, but smiled secretly in her heart.

Eleven pulled the corners of his mouth, touched his nose unnaturally, and pursed his lips straight.

【Hahahahaha… I guessed it was you. 】

When Xiao Ruyu was laughing so hard in her heart that she was about to die, Eleven wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

At this time, the palace maid came and solved his embarrassing situation.

"Little Princess, Imperial Physician Yang wants to see you."
