Chapter 23: Let the Ancient Tree Bear Fruit
"Hey, Your Highness, the little princess has fallen asleep. I will hold her in my arms while she sleeps. It will keep her warm."
Doctor Cheng remembered that on the day Chu Qinshu was born, Grandmother Wen was frightened when she saw her entangled neck.
He had been a royal physician for decades, so neck entanglement was not uncommon for him.
What’s strange is that Grandma said Chu Qinshu was born with her hands holding the umbilical cord, which is interesting.
Medical practitioners are full of curiosity about all special cases, and he is no exception.
Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to observe what was different about a baby born with the umbilical cord grasped compared to an ordinary baby.
"No need, put the little princess next to me."
Chu Chengyi looked at his arms and realized that they certainly couldn't make the young lady feel safe, so it was right for him not to hug her.
"Well, don't put pressure on her."
Imperial Physician Cheng was transferred by the late emperor to serve Chu Chengyi when Chu Chengyi was three years old. He was not as distant in front of Chu Chengyi as other people.
Occasionally, he can say something that is not so serious.
However, he still kept in mind the ways of being a minister.
As long as it is not related to injury, he will not go against Chu Chengyi's wishes.
If you don't want me to hold him, then don't let me hold him. It's the same if he just sits on the side and watches.
"Your Highness, please warm the little princess's bed, but don't let her freeze."
The room was warm. Doctor Cheng took off the blanket that was wrapped around Chu Qinshu and put her into Chu Chengyi's quilt.
Then he went back to the small table next to the charcoal stove and continued reading the medical book.
The little princess never dozed off and fell asleep in a moment. Was it because she was born with her hands holding her umbilical cord?
Well, this is indeed different from ordinary babies, so keep it in mind.
So he took out a booklet from a pile of medical books, and on the cover it was clearly written "The correlation between infant's birth posture and intelligence."
Then, turn to the first page, pick up the brush and start recording.
In space.
Chu Qinshu and Xiao Hulu arrived under the ancient tree and were studying the only green branch.
"Little gourd, why is this branch green?"
Chu Qinshu asked.
"It means that the cannon fodder in the original book may not become cannon fodder anymore."
Little Gourd has long been accustomed to this.
It is unreasonable that a righteous person becomes a cannon fodder sacrificed by some evil forces to achieve their goals.
As long as righteous people return to the right path under the influence of its owner, the branches of the ancient tree will turn green.
Only when this dark and gray space becomes green and full of birdsong and flowers, will the mission of it and its owner be considered complete.
The change of space is the progress of the mission, but poor its current owner doesn't understand it yet.
"Oh, this is the condition you mentioned for the ancient trees to become green again?"
Chu Qinshu seemed to have reacted.
The greener the trees are, the more the cannon fodder in the original book has escaped the fate of being cannon fodder.
In other words, the greener the trees are, the more the plot of the original book collapses.
Then when the queen comes, will the trees all turn green?
"Yeah, that's right."
The little gourd nodded, and its two leaves swayed up and down with its movements, looking very cute.
“So it can bear fruit now?”
Chu Qinshu asked again, she wanted to eat dessert and drink milk tea, and also wanted to eat chicken legs and grilled fish...
She hadn't had sex for sixteen days. According to Sheng Anguo's rules, she couldn't have sex until she was at least six months old.
Half a year is more than 180 days, which is even more pitiful than her royal grandfather’s 100-day vegetarian diet.
"Yes, Master, what do you want this branch to bear? Fruit? Food? Or anything else you want to eat?"
Little Gourd intuitively felt that this little master was a royal princess who had no worries about food and clothing, and would definitely make the tree grow something special.
Unfortunately, it overthought.
The next moment, Chu Qinshu said, "I want the tree to grow chicken legs and grilled fish, and also..."
"Master, you... have no teeth."
The little gourd raised its forehead, it had forgotten that its little master was reborn hungry.
"Even if you don't have teeth, you still have gums, right? Many centenarians don't have teeth, but they still eat meat."
Since Chu Qinshu was born, she has never had such a clear mind as today.
Little Gourd didn't say she couldn't bear fruit, she just said she had no teeth. It seemed she didn't have to wait another half a year before she could eat meat.
"Well, each branch can only produce one kind of fruit. Once you have decided, just climb up to that branch and tell it."
Little Gourd has a simple mind and is not easy to take care of by its owner, so it won’t say much.
It won't tell her that when chicken legs really become available, it will be really hard for her to be able to look at them every day but not be able to eat them.
Chu Qinshu: "..."
Are you serious?
But the ancient tree is so tall, how can she climb up?
"In space, you are different from ordinary babies. Climbing trees and digging the ground are your innate abilities."
The sound of the little gourd sounded a little distant. It turned out that it had already jumped back to the study.
It's been following TV series recently.
The book is so thick and each person has a different story. I have been fascinated by it for a long time.
Chu Qinshu ignored Xiao Hulu. She thought seriously about whether it would be better to let the branches bear chicken legs first or grilled fish first.
After thinking it over, he walked under the ancient tree with determination.
As soon as she touched the ancient tree with her hands and feet, she felt a warm current instantly spreading from her toes to her whole body.
After she climbed up the tree trunk using her hands and feet, she felt her body move a little higher with a little effort.
Then change your hands and move up, use your feet to push your body up a little bit.
Although it was slow, Chu Qinshu was not in a hurry to leave the space.
Moreover, the green branch is closest to the ground, and it is estimated to be less than two meters away, so you can climb up even if you are slow.
A quarter of an hour later, little Chu Qinshu finally climbed up the green branch.
"Branches, branches, you have to help me grow lots of fruits..."
Chu Qinshu held onto the branch and whispered to him. She also repeated her instructions several times before she climbed down the tree trunk.
Haha, she finally doesn't have to eat the meat in other people's bowls anymore.
After coming down from the tree, Chu Qinshu also went to the study.
Seeing Xiao Hulu lying on the recliner watching a movie intently, she also climbed up and lay down.
A baby and a little gourd, both of them are tiny, they look quite harmonious lying on a recliner.
"Little Hulu, where's the three-piece set of popcorn, cola, and potato chips for watching TV series?"
Chu Qinshu asked.
"Master, you have no teeth."
Little Gourd stared at the screen without even turning his head.
Chu Qinshu: "..."
Slurp~~ No means no, why do you always have to remind her that she has no teeth?
Chu Qinshu wiped the corner of her mouth, stopped thinking about the food, and stared at the screen on the wall.
"This plot is somewhat familiar. How can an adult prince enter the harem? Is this person stupid?"
Chu Qinshu complained.
"He's not stupid. If someone uses his own mother as a pretext to trick him, how can he tell the difference?"
Small gourd road.
"Whose drama are you watching?"
Chu Qinshu asked again.
"Watch it yourself. What's the point if you know the spoilers?"
Xiao Hulu has not read the original book and has no idea about the plot.
It just lives by flipping through the book on the bookshelf and calling out people's names every day.
"This person is sickly, but he looks like he has a kind of broken beauty. Don't poke me."
As long as there is a handsome little brother or a handsome uncle, Chu Qinshu can watch it with gusto.
