Chapter 3 Saving Brother
"Mother is reliable, it's still okay, well, I can sleep peacefully for a while, I hope when I wake up, this is not a dream!"
Even the great devil who has cultivated to the highest level, likes this warm feeling of being cared for.
Xiaoyue looked at her daughter who was slowly falling asleep, her eyes were full of tenderness and firm determination: she had to be strong, and could not let the leeches in the general's mansion eat her anymore, she had to protect her two children.
"Daughter, don't worry, mother will definitely protect you!" Xiaoyue whispered softly in Ruoxi's ear: "Even if I have to do my best, I will protect you and Lin'er!"
Thinking of her son, Xiaoyue's spirit, which was originally weak due to dystocia, suddenly cheered up again.
"Hongmei, go to the palace and report to the Queen Mother so that she can give me a name." After Xiaoyue gave the order, she thought for a moment and said, "The current situation is still unclear. Don't tell the Queen Mother too much for now. She is not in good health. I have already made her worry so much. Don't add more worries to her!"
Hongmei responded and immediately packed up, avoiding the servants who were watching her in the mansion, and went out from the back of the general's mansion .
"Dongju, go and see if Lin'er is awake. If he is awake, feed him something. Bring him here later so that he can recognize his sister." Xiaoyue said to Dongju. "
Yes, Princess." Dongju responded, lowered her head, but tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Did the princess finally wake up?
Because the young master was born prematurely and remained silent since birth, he was later diagnosed with congenital deficiencies. No one in the mansion liked the young master. Also, because the old lady always lamented that this was a scandal in the general's mansion and would bring shame to the royal family, even the princess herself was always questioning herself and often wanted to give up the young master and send him out of the capital.
Especially in the past six months, when the princess was pregnant, the old lady said that she was afraid that the young master would affect the princess's pregnancy, so she brought the young master with her.
Dongmei saw Madam Qi whipping the young master several times, and she tried to stop it. However, when the princess asked about it, the old lady said that it was to educate the young master to learn basic skills.
The princess always said that he was her grandson and she would not abuse him, so she let the old lady raise him.
Baby Ruoxi slept comfortably this time. When she woke up, she felt a rough little hand touching her cheek.
"Hmm? Who is this?" Ruoxi opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the baby-faced boy in front of her, her brows knitted.
"Baby, are you awake? This is your brother, Ruilin." Xiaoyue's gentle voice came from the side: "Lin'er, this is your sister, touch her face gently, isn't your sister very cute and beautiful?"
Ruoxi looked at the little guy and her brows knitted even tighter.
"Brother? He is so handsome, and he inherited most of his mother's beauty. Eh, his eyes are dull and his lips are black. Is he poisoned?" Ruoxi murmured in her heart: "But, as a royal princess, haven't you taken brother to see a doctor and had a consultation?"
"..." Xiaoyue, who was leaning against the head of the bed, was watching the warm scene of her son and daughter meeting each other. Suddenly, she heard her daughter's voice and her heart tightened.
It is true that Lin'er was born prematurely, but it was more than eight months, and the birth process was smooth. There were no symptoms at the beginning. It was not until he was over one year old that he was still unable to speak and had no response. She asked Shangguan Jinghong to go to the palace to find the imperial physician.
As a result, he was diagnosed with congenital deficiency.
Shangguan Jinghong said that in order to shut the doctor's mouth, he gave 10,000 taels of silver, and even forbade the doctor to tell the empress dowager and the emperor.
And the 10,000 taels of silver were naturally taken from her dowry.
During every festival, the empress dowager sent someone to deliver a verbal order to let her grandson enter the palace. Every time, the Shangguan family and she found various excuses, so...
the child was five years old, and the empress dowager had never seen him.
Xiaoyue stared at her son closely. It was true, especially in the past six months. Although she had seen him less, every time she saw him, her son's spirit became more depressed, and the color of his lips seemed to darken.
"Hey, isn't my mother the most talented woman in Wei? Is her head full of Shangguan Jinghong? That bastard father may not have you in his heart!" Ruoxi sighed in her heart. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the space to read the historical records.
"Is there a detoxification pill in the space? It's just right. I can give it to this silly brother!" Ruoxi found the detoxification pill she had made before. She wanted to give it to her brother first.
No matter what, she couldn't bear to see the weak being bullied.
What's more, at present, this kid is still her brother from the same mother.
"I can give him the detoxification pill, but does this silly boy know how to eat it?" Ruoxi's mind moved, and the detoxification pill was in the palm of her hand.
"Your Highness, I'm back." Hongmei's voice came from outside.
Xiaoyue sat up straight immediately.
"Come on, silly boy, eat this." Ruoxi waved her little fist, luckily, it touched the silly boy's arm, and she put the small detoxification pill in her brother's hand.
Xiaoyue's heart was pounding.
She didn't know what kind of baby she gave birth to.
Maybe God didn't want her Xiao royal family to perish, or maybe she had never done anything bad since she was born.
So, God gave her a fairy baby.
Xiaoyue didn't dare to look at her son, she didn't know what her son would do.
"Princess, this is what the Queen Mother asked me to bring back. It's a bracelet for the little princess, and here is a million taels of silver. The Queen Mother asked you to make clothes for the little princess, and you must make the best!" Hongmei opened the package in her arms and said excitedly: "The Queen Mother is very happy. She said that if you agree, she will hold a full moon wine party for the little princess in the palace!"
Ruoxi looked at the silly boy.
"Eat, eat! Be good, you will be smart after eating it!" The big devil Ruoxi found that she could also coax children, and she was not the witch or the bad person who killed people in her previous life.
Xiao Ruilin looked at the red beans in his hand, and there was an urging voice in his ear.
Eat!
Xiao Ruilin put the red beans in his mouth.
"Good!" Xiao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, so good!
"Princess, have you agreed?" Hongmei was excited. She originally thought that the princess would be the same as before. She was unwilling to attend any invitation from the Queen Mother and the Emperor. As a result, this time, the princess actually agreed directly.
Xiaoyue turned her head to look at the excited Hongmei and Dongju. She took a deep breath and said, "It's time to apologize to the Queen Mother. I shouldn't have been angry with her all these years!"
"Princess, this is the name that the Queen Mother called the Grand Tutor and
Duke Guo to the palace to discuss. Take a look!" Hongmei took out a red post and opened it. "Ruoxi, warmth, hope, I understand what the Queen Mother is thinking!" Xiaoyue's eyes were blurred with tears.
Baby Ruoxi raised a smile: "It's better to call me Ruoxi, it sounds pleasing to the ear, and it was given by Master. Master also hoped that I would be sunny, beautiful, and full of hope for the future!"
