Chapter 24
"Aunt Luo, this is for you." Xiao Yueer handed over a brocade box that Yi Luoyue had left in the carriage and sat down next to her, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Oh! I forgot. Thank you, Xiaoyue, you are so good." Yi Luoyue reached out to take it, touched her head, and opened the brocade box.
"Why is this here with you?" Gong Yuchen, who was sitting opposite the two of them, was a little surprised to see the items in the brocade box.
"You know this?" That's right, after all, he was also in the Four Gods Temple that day, and he saw it first.
"So you are the one destined for 'it'?" Gong Yuchen asked. She didn't expect that 'Master Liaowu' would give this to her.
"It's not me. I'm just helping 'Master Liaowu' find his destined person."
"So you are not either." Gong Yuchen looked at the 'tear crystal stone' that was emitting a purple glow in Yi Luoyue's hand.
"I thought it was blue."
"Blue! You, stretch out your hand." Yi Luoyue asked Gong Yuchen to stretch out his hand and placed the tear crystal stone in his palm.
"You are blue! How amazing! Master Liao Wu said that this is a fairy stone. Only when it comes into contact with a destined person can its color be revealed, and the color revealed will be different for different destined people."
"So we are destined to be together, but we are not its owners." If it's neither him nor Yi Luoyue, then who could it be?
"So beautiful! Can you show it to Xiaoyue?" She was so familiar with this thing. Hadn't she been carrying it since she was born? But it disappeared after she came here.
"Okay." Yi Luoyue picked up the tear crystal stone again and placed it in Xiaoyue'er's hand.
No way!! She and Gong Yuchen looked at each other in shock. The "tear crystal stone" actually emitted a rainbow of light in Xiaoyue'er's hand. Could it be that the destined person that Master Liaowu mentioned was Xiaoyue'er?
This is really my own piece! It just looks a little newer. A few small gold and silver flowers are wrapped around the "tear crystal" and hang on a soft silk rope.
Watching Xiaoyue playing with the sparkling "tear crystal stone", she intuitively thought that this should be her.
"Does Xiaoyue like it?"
"like."
"It's for you."
"Is it really possible?" Xiaoyue blinked in disbelief.
"Of course, I'll bring it to you."
"Thank you, I'm so happy!" Xiaoyue excitedly rushed to Yi Luoyue and hugged her neck to express her gratitude.
"Auntie, can I stay tonight? I want to be with you," the little guy said coquettishly.
"Xiao Yue'er." Gong Yuchen looked disapproving.
"The princess is injured, you can't disturb her here."
"Why?"
"Why not? Of course she can stay with me." What? Is he still afraid that she will snatch his daughter away?
"She always has nightmares at night and disturbs you." He has a deep understanding of this. Ever since Xiaoyue came into the house, she would always sneak into his bed in the middle of the night and curl up beside him. After repeated persuasions failed, he gave up, so he didn't even lock the door.
"I don't know how to do that when I'm with my aunt," Xiaoyueer began to feel unconvinced.
"How do you know that it won't happen? I don't know who it is, but he always needs to be coaxed to sleep?"
"I would be afraid of that strange place, but as long as daddy and auntie are here, I won't be afraid and I won't have nightmares." To emphasize, she pouted her little mouth high.
Yi Luoyue just smiled faintly and looked at her lovingly.
After the Queen Mother passed away a few years ago, the Emperor was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of her, so no matter what she wanted to do, he would try his best to support and fulfill her wishes. But since the Emperor's health began to deteriorate, he has paid special attention to her marriage, hoping that she will have a husband and children to rely on in the future. If possible, he especially wants a daughter like Xiaoyue'er.
Looking at Gong Yuchen sitting opposite, a strange feeling arose in her heart. If he and she were husband and wife, Xiaoyue would naturally be their daughter... Xiaoyue looked a lot like him... so would his future daughter be like Xiaoyue?
She shook her head. No! No! She couldn't let her imagination run wild anymore, because no matter what, the premise was that she had to be his wife.
"What's wrong? Does it still hurt?"
"No...no, just a little thirsty."
When Bai Die heard the princess say she was thirsty, she immediately went to pour her a cup of tea.
She took the tea and drank it slowly, then let out a long breath. She looked like she was really thirsty, and handed the teacup in her hand to Bai Die.
"Let her stay here. She can talk to me. Otherwise, it will be boring for her to lie alone." She exchanged glances with her father.
"Do you want to stay here?" Gong Yuchen confirmed with her again.
"Uh-huh."
"Then don't be naughty. You must listen to the princess. If you have any problems, come back to daddy. Do you hear me?"
"Oh..." Xiaoyue'er's eyes suddenly brightened several degrees, and the ending of the word was dragged out.
"We're all tired today, so you should rest early. The wound shouldn't hurt so much when you wake up tomorrow. I'm leaving now."
"It's okay, I... don't want to sleep yet, you go and do your own thing." Yi Luoyue knew that he was busy, so she didn't keep him any longer.
"Let's go, let's go."
Gong Yuchen's face turned green when he heard this. She abandoned him for a new love!
"Little traitor,"
"Hehe, goodbye, Daddy." The little traitor was still happily adding fuel to the fire.
Upon hearing this, Yi Luoyue smiled and laughed out loud. This man's reaction was really interesting... He really has two faces in front of others and behind their backs.
After watching Gong Yuchen leave, she could finally take a breath and have a good rest. She closed her eyes and rested, while Bai Die helped her massage her shoulders.
"White Butterfly."
"The servant is here."
"I remember that you have a sister who is also in the Dark Guard?"
"Yes, my sister Bai Shuang is already eleven years old and has been trained in the Secret Guard for five years."
"How's your sister's skills?" She was a little worried about Xiaoyue'er's safety after what happened today. Gong Yuchen was a grown man, so he might not have noticed anything. With Xiaoyue'er's unusually lively personality, an ordinary maid wouldn't be able to keep an eye on her, let alone protect her. Besides, there were differences between men and women. It was okay for her now, but when she was older, it wouldn't be appropriate to have a man around her all the time.
"Bai Shuang is considered a leader among the secret guards of the same age."
Bai Die is still very proud of her younger sister. Although both sisters are from the maternal family of Queen Mother Yi Luoyue, they are only side branches and are orphans. It is their blessing to be able to join the Secret Guard and stay with Yi Luoyue. Her younger sister is more talented than herself and will definitely stay with the princess in time.
"Go and bring her here, and stay with Xiaoyue'er from now on."
"Princess, Miss Yue'er is the adopted daughter of His Highness Gongyu after all. I'm afraid she will have to return to Xiyi in the future. Would it be inappropriate for Baishuang to follow her?" Bai Die was worried about Xiao Yue'er's identity on the one hand, and on the other hand, she didn't want her sister to be far away from her in the future.
"Bai Die, I hope your sister can treat Xiao Yue'er the same way you treat me. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. I will bring Bai Shuang here right away."
Looking at Xiaoyue'er drawing at the desk, it's rare for this little guy to be so quiet today.
"Xiaoyue."
"Hey, here I come." Xiaoyue'er, who was writing furiously, put down the pen in her hand and ran over.
"Auntie, do you want to drink tea or eat something?" Daddy said that Auntie was injured and she couldn't disturb her, so she had to take care of Auntie.
"Why are you so well behaved today? Are you still my Xiaoyue?"
"Auntie, please don't wrongly accuse me." Xiaoyue was probably in a very relaxed mood because she knew the person she cared about was safe and sound, and her true nature gradually revealed itself when she spoke.
"I'm very well behaved every day."
"Then I'd like to ask, what is our good little Yue'er doing?"
"I'll show it to you." Xiaoyue happily went back to get her masterpiece for Yi Luoyue to appreciate.
"Did you draw this?" Although the brushstrokes were still immature, the painting skills were still good, except...
"Why did you paint the courtyard door?"
"secret."
"You little rascal, you're still keeping it a secret. What? Can't Aunt Luo know?" Yi Luoyue looked at her pretending to be angry.
"Oh! You'll know in a few days."
"Okay then, Aunt Luo is waiting for you to tell me. By the way, what do you usually do in the mansion? Did your father hire a teacher for you?"
"Not yet. Daddy said he would hire a teacher for Xiaoyueer after we return to Xiyi."
"Go back to Xiyi... Do you want to go to Xiyi?"
"Hmm... I don't know either, but as long as I'm with you guys, anywhere is fine." He smiled at her, his eyes curved, and two dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth...
"What have you learned?"
"I've learned a lot, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Xiaoyue doesn't like writing."
"Why?"
"Writing is so difficult. I like painting and playing the piano, but Daddy doesn't have a piano." It seems that Yue'er had received a good education before.
"I have the Jiaowei Qin and the Hanquan Qin in my house. If you want to play the Qin, you can come to my house. I wonder if I can hear Xiaoyue'er's Qin music on Aunt Luo's birthday in a few days?"
"Great!" Xiaoyue cheered.
"Your Highness, Bai Shuang is here."
A quarter of an hour later, Bai Die, following Yi Luoyue's orders, was already waiting outside the door with Bai Shuang.
"Come in." As soon as she saw Yi Luoyue and the others, Bai Shuang immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Bai Shuang greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Sister Baishuang... No... Sister Baishuang." Xiaoyue ran over when she saw Baishuang, holding her hand and jumping around happily.
Looking at her, why does it feel like she knows Bai Shuang?
"Are you Bai Shuang?" Looking at the little person who was not much taller than Xiao Yue'er, Yi Luoyue felt a little worried. Could she protect Xiao Yue'er? She was only a few years older than Xiao Yue'er, but her voice was clear. They were of similar age, so they would have someone to talk to in the future.
"Yes, Your Highness." Bai Shuang answered respectfully.
"Xiaoyue, come here."
"Bai Shuang, this is Xiao Yue'er. You will be her personal maid from now on. Your mission is to protect her well. What she says is what I say. Do you understand?"
"Bai Shuang obeys your command."
"Xiao Yue'er, Bai Shuang will be your maid and guard from now on. Don't bully her." Although she was given to her as a maid, she would not allow her to learn to bully others by taking advantage of her power.
"No! I have a very good relationship with Miss Baishuang..." Hahaha, her troublemaker is here.
"Okay, Bai Die, take them to dinner. I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while." Yi Luoyue sighed weakly and yawned, then let two maids help her to sleep.
"It's the princess."
