No one in the room uttered a word, staring blankly at the "gift" that Su Jinze had specially prepared.
They put so much effort into it, it was almost frightening. For a moment, I forgot to chase after the little chick that was running away.
Chirp used all its strength to run away, its chubby little legs were incredibly powerful, and in the blink of an eye it was almost at the door.
Come on! Once I get over that hurdle, I can run away!
Nobody told her that the older brother was so scary. Who would offer themselves up for death upon meeting someone?
Looking at the reddish-brown threshold so close to her, Qiuqiu's little mouth was practically stretched to the back of her head. Heave-ho, charge!
Just as victory was within reach, a pair of light-colored embroidered shoes appeared in front of her. Looking up from the shoes, she saw Dong Xiao looking down at her with a puzzled expression.
A moment later, she exclaimed with delight, "Little Miss can crawl!"
I was lazy and didn't move for the past few days, and I pretended to be stupid when I urged me. I didn't expect that I could climb so far today.
"It must be because the young lady likes the young master so much that she climbed up when she was happy. They really do have a deep bond between siblings!"
Chiu Chiu exclaimed in terror: "Don't talk nonsense! He clearly doesn't like me!"
Su Jinze crossed his arms and remained silent, raising an eyebrow at Qiuqiu's chubby back. Did she not like her? Actually, he quite liked this interesting little sister.
He bypassed his mother, who had already seen through his intentions, and strode over to Qiuqiu, grabbing her by the collar and lifting her up, as Dongxiao was blocking his way.
Chiu Chiu's face fell: 【What's going on?】
Su Jinze held Qiuqiu with one hand and pinched her little face with the other. Feeling the soft touch under his hand, he finally understood why Yun Shuyue had been smiling so slyly just now.
It's actually quite interesting.
"Mother, why don't you let me and Qiuqiu develop our relationship alone?"
If it were half an incense stick ago, Yun Jinglan would definitely have agreed wholeheartedly, but now she hesitated, especially after seeing Qiuqiu's pitiful winking at her.
"Jinze, you must be tired from your journey back. Why don't you go and rest first?"
Yes, yes, let Big Brother rest. Chirp Chirp needs to rest too.
It's perfectly normal for kids to feel tired and sleepy and want to go to sleep.
She dozed off, her eyelids drooping, and the little one looked listless. After thinking for a moment, he reached out to his mother for a hug.
There was a palace banquet tonight, and Su Jinze needed to wash up. He then handed Qiuqiu to Yun Jinglan.
Yun Jinglan looked at Qiuqiu, who had been dangling in the air for a moment, and immediately took her in her arms with lingering fear. "Jinze, you can't hold a child like that."
"You should hold her upright, supporting her bottom with one hand and placing the other hand on her back."
Yun Jinglan was talking a bit ramblingly, especially when it came to Qiuqiu's affairs. She only realized how much she had said when she came to her senses.
She had assumed her boss would be impatient with these words, since he had little patience for anything other than war and martial arts. But to her surprise, he was listening to her very attentively.
Seeing his mother stop, Su Jinze frowned and looked back at her, puzzled: "Why did you stop talking? Besides porridge, what else do you like to eat?"
Yun Jinglan answered subconsciously, "There's nothing she doesn't like to eat."
Chiu Chiu, her little face blank: [Don't be so hasty, I won't eat the stinky stuff.]
Su Jinze grunted, almost bursting into laughter. To avoid losing his composure on his first day back, he had no choice but to ignore Qiu Qiu and exchange pleasantries with the others.
His hearing was excellent, and he naturally heard the barely audible sigh behind him. His smile widened; there would be plenty of time to play with her later.
Su Jinze didn't return for a long time, and was surrounded by everyone who scolded him. Seeing that it was getting late, he made an excuse to wash up and escaped.
He patted his chest, "Finally out."
The young general was brave and skilled in battle, but he was not good at socializing; he was not a well-rounded individual!
Su Jinze's surprise attack on the Turkic army made him famous overnight. In the past, he might have been jokingly called "Little General," but from today onwards, he is a true Little General.
He had been gone for two years. He had grown a little taller, darker, and thinner, with more defined and resolute features. The darker clothes accentuated his charisma.
But I can’t love it at all!
Yun Shuyue, who was riding in the same carriage as them, asked with some confusion, "Is she going too?"
Su Jinze shook his head: "I don't know."
"But it's alright, she can attend her maternal grandfather's welcome banquet."
Chiu Chiu looked up, her eyes filled with arrogance and smugness: "They invited me!"
Su Jinze might not be aware of this, but there's no doubt that Qiuqiu is a favorite among the nobles of the palace. Her presence today was at His Majesty's request.
Yun Jinglan spoke up for her, saying, "Princess Fu Ning misses her. His Majesty sent someone yesterday with an imperial edict ordering Qiu Qiu to accompany her into the palace."
Chiu Chiu raised her head; she was also a very prestigious person.
Su Jinze remained silent, only offering a polite smile. The little brat is quite narcissistic.
The carriage was shaky and slow, not as exhilarating as riding a horse. For Su Jinze and Yun Shuyue, who were used to galloping on horseback, it was undoubtedly torture.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they had planned it all beforehand. Chirp looked at this one and that one, her eyes sparkling. [This is the legendary perfect teamwork!]
Yun Jinglan looked at them, a satisfied expression on her face. Her father had mentioned Xijie'er and the eldest son to her before, and she thought it was a good thing.
Childhood sweethearts, two little kids who are inseparable. What a beautiful word.
Su Jinze was so startled by Qiuqiu's inner thoughts that he almost choked on them. Why are they telling ghost stories in broad daylight!
He and Yun Shuyue have a tacit understanding?
hehe……
Others are like boys riding bamboo horses, playing with their little plums around the bed; these two are like bamboo horses trying to kick their little plums to death, while the little plums try to kill their bamboo horses by swinging the bed with their bare hands. What terrible things could have happened to put them together!
Yun Shuyue felt a chill run down her spine from the stares of this family of three. Because her aunt was still around, she couldn't show her hot-tempered younger sister's personality, so she shrank back weakly towards the carriage. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
She, the most powerful female general in the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty, gave off a chilling feeling!
Yun Jinglan: "Xi'er is not young anymore, I don't know..."
"Aunt!" Yun Shuyue interrupted her loudly, speaking righteously and sternly, "If you can't even sweep one room, how can you sweep the world! A real man has nothing to worry about without a wife! Xi'er is still young!"
Is there any connection between these sentences?
Yun Shuyue prefers military attire to feminine dresses, and her reading focuses on military strategy and tactics. She struggles to find a suitable reason to marry when pressured to do so.
Most of her girlfriends were married, and those whose families wanted them to stay for another two years were already engaged. Only she was all alone, living a particularly carefree life.
She felt relaxed and happy, but in the eyes of others, it was seen as a woman being disrespectful and unconventional.
Su Jinze suddenly spoke up to explain for her: "A woman's life doesn't have to revolve around her husband, children, and the kitchen. She can do whatever she wants, why should her life be arranged by rules and regulations?"
It's rare to be truly clear-headed in life. Yun Jinglan paused, then smiled knowingly, about to explain that she didn't mean it that way, but Qiuqiu had already pounced on her and hugged her neck.
Her little hand pinched her mother's mouth shut. "Stop talking! You're disturbing my shipping!"
