During this time, He Xue returned to the manor. These days, He Xue has been thinking about what to send to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince must have many treasures in his storeroom, and the Crown Prince might not even be interested in what she sends.
Moreover, she sensed that the Crown Prince wanted her to make it herself, but how could she? She couldn't do anything! She was only five years old and couldn't even write properly! What should she give him?
He Xue was really worried. In modern times, she didn't have any special talents. Besides being able to cook a few home-style dishes, was she supposed to personally cook a few modern home-style dishes for the Crown Prince?
While it wasn't impossible, she knew that if he did it, it would shock everyone. How would she explain it then? A five-year-old child cooking? How astonishing!
In modern times, gifts are bought from shopping malls, so there's no need to put in so much effort.
Suddenly, Xue remembered that she had done cross-stitch before. Compared with embroidery, cross-stitch is much simpler.
But how do I get the fabric for cross-stitch? It's all made of cotton or fine linen here. She thinks the fabric for cross-stitch should be linen, but even if she had that material, she couldn't make it!
Is it possible to embroider directly onto the fabric? He Xue had never tried this before, but she decided to give it a shot.
"Xia Bing!" He Xue called out to Xia Bing.
"Gege, what's wrong?" Xia Bing rushed over.
"Xia Bing, bring me the needle and thread!" He Xue said, "And find me a piece of cloth while you're at it!"
"Princess, what do you need to do? Just leave it to us servants! So as not to hurt you!" Nanxing also came over.
"You don't know what I'm going to do, so I'll try it myself!" He Xue felt that even if she told Nan Xing and Xia Bing what to do, they probably wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Seeing that He Xue was determined to do so, Xia Bing took the needle and thread and handed them to He Xue.
He Xue picked up the needle and thread, thought for a moment, and then tried it on the piece of cloth that had been handed to her. No, it really wouldn't work without the grid pattern.
Nanxing and Xiabing watched as Hexue brandished the needle and thread, their hearts pounding in their throats, fearing that Hexue might accidentally prick herself.
They watched as He Xue made two stitches in the cloth. They couldn't understand what He Xue was doing or what she was embroidering. They only saw He Xue sitting there with her brows furrowed, probably not very satisfied.
“Princess, shall I help you?” Nanxing said.
"No need!" He Xue shook her head. She had promised the Crown Prince that she would do it herself, and she would not entrust it to others.
"Princess, what are you going to do?" Xia Bing asked.
"Let me think about it some more!" Kazuyuki said, frowning.
Nanxing and Xiabing stayed by Hexue's side so that Hexue could call them.
"He Xue, He Xue!" Shu Yi's loud voice rang out.
He Xue asked Nan Xing to put the needle and thread away, as she was also at a loss.
"Second Brother, I'm here!" He Xue came out of the room and saw that Shu Yi had already entered her courtyard.
"Come on, your second brother will take you out for a walk!" Shuyi grabbed Hexue's hand and walked outside.
"Where are we going?" He Xue asked, her eyes sparkling.
"You can go wherever you want! Your second brother will accompany you!" Shuyi said. Of course, he would spoil his own sister. He didn't understand why the Crown Prince and the others always competed with him for his sister. He and Xue would spend half a month or even more in the palace every month, which made it difficult for him to see them.
"Okay, Second Brother, wait for me! I'll go get ready!" He Xue said.
“Alright, go ahead! No rush, your second brother is waiting for you!” Shuyi said.
"Nanxing, Xia Bing, quickly help me comb my hair!" He Xue said, as she had just messed up her own hair.
Nanxing and Xia Bing helped He Xue with her hair while Xia Bing found clothes for her. Soon, He Xue was all dressed.
“Let’s go, Second Brother!” He Xue stood in front of Shu Yi.
"Okay! Big brother is still waiting for us outside!" Shuyi said as she walked, holding Hexue's hand.
"Is my older brother coming too?" He Xue asked in surprise. Her older brother was a bookworm who spent eleven out of twelve hours a day reading.
"Of course!" Shuyi had put in a lot of effort to persuade Jingshu.
"Then let's go quickly!" He Xue said happily. The greatest comfort for He Xue here was that she had a loving father and mother, as well as two loving brothers, just like she did in modern times.
Upon hearing He Xue's words, Shu Yi immediately picked her up and quickly walked outside.
