Chapter 86 I don’t want to forgive easily, but she gave too much

"I come to see the Empress."

"Xuan'er pays respects to the Empress."

The mother and daughter saluted Xia Shuyi one after another.

"No need to be polite." Xia Shuyi raised his hand casually, motioning them to stand up, but he didn't smile at the mother and daughter.

She heard about what happened yesterday from Heng'er and Lu Ran.

This Concubine Lu kept saying that it was her Li'er who killed the Eighth Princess.

It was clearly her daughter who saved the man, but she was accused of harming him. How could she swallow this?

Xia Shuyi planned to punish her severely to prevent her from slandering her Lier again next time.

Unexpectedly, before she even opened her mouth, Lu Zhirong knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I was too worried about Xuan'er yesterday, so I said those nonsense. I wronged the Ninth Princess, and I am willing to give her compensation and apologize." She looked at the Queen with sincerity.

"The Ninth Princess saved Xuan'er, so she is my savior. From today on, I will set up a Buddhist temple in the palace and pray for the Ninth Princess every day, praying that she will live a long life and be healthy."

[Humph, you wronged me. Do you think I will forgive you if you say a few nice words? Don’t even think about it!]

Lu Li turned to face his mother and stayed close to her, not wanting to look at Lu Zhirong.

Lu Zhirong felt a sound exploding in her ears.

She was slightly stunned. Could it be that what she just heard was the voice of the legendary Ninth Princess?

She did not dare to be distracted and quickly ordered the palace servants to bring the prepared things over.

"I have prepared some amazing gifts, please accept them, Princess Nine."

Upon hearing about the gift, Lu Li turned over from her mother's arms and looked at Lu Zhirong.

When the box was opened, there was a layer of gold ingots on top.

Lu Li's eyes suddenly glowed with gold.

So much gold!

Seeing her expression, Lu Zhirong breathed a sigh of relief and continued to open the second layer.

The second layer is filled with various gold jewelry, including gold swings and gold hairpins. These are her most treasured treasures.

Originally it was said that it was to be saved as a dowry for her daughter in the future.

But Shi Le told her that the Ninth Princess predicted that Da Xia would fall at an unknown date, and there was no point in keeping these things for too long.

It would be better to give it to the Ninth Princess and get her forgiveness first.

When Lu Li saw these things, she couldn't help but smile wildly.

Lu Zhirong opened the bottom layer, and what was inside was no longer gold, but some precious medicinal herbs that she had found.

The most valuable things in their palace are all here.

"Ninth Princess, this is a little gift from me to you. I hope you can accept it."

"Ninth sister, please don't be angry with my mother, okay? She already knows she was wrong." Lu Xuanyi looked at Lu Li pitifully.

Xia Shuyi also wanted to know what her daughter was thinking.

"Okay." Lu Li pursed her lips and motioned for Lu Ran to bring the box back, and she accepted it.

[Alas, I don't want to forgive so easily, but Concubine Lu really gave too much. ]

When Xia Shuyi heard her words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Does this kid like gold that much?

Lu Zhirong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had hit the mark. It was good that the Ninth Princess was willing to forgive her. She would be able to hear the Ninth Princess's voice in the future.

As expected, Sister Shi Le’s judgment was correct. Anyone who was truly kind to the Ninth Princess would be able to hear her voice.

"That's great, Ninth Princess, you're not angry anymore. You're so nice, I like you so much." Lu Xuanyi smiled and handed her wooden pony to Lu Li.

Lu Li glanced at the little wooden horse with disdain.

[You can't sell it for money, and you can't eat it, so what's the point of having this thing? 】

When Lu Xuanyi heard this, she pursed her lips and almost cried out.

"Ninth Princess, the pony is fun." She immediately stretched out the tail of the wooden horse and put it on the ground.

In an instant, the little wooden horse seemed to come alive and ran forward with a thumping sound.

Lu Li suddenly became interested.

She sat up straight and blinked at the little wooden horse.

Seeing it stop, Lu Li waved his hand and urged: "Come again!"

When Lu Xuanyi saw that she liked it, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Okay!" She happily pulled the horse's tail again, and the pony started running again.

But after a while it stopped again.

Lu Li couldn't see enough and kept urging her to continue.

Lu Xuanyi was also very cooperative.

Finally, Lu Li felt that just watching was not enough, so she wanted to try it herself.

Xia Shuyi had no choice but to send them both outside to play. The pony's clattering noises running around the palace gave her a headache.

Looking through the palace gate at Lu Xuanyi and Lu Li having fun, Xia Shuyi also had a faint smile on his face.

Since Xiaojiu has forgiven them, she will not make things difficult for Lu Zhirong.

Lu Zhirong accompanied her carefully and found that the Empress was actually very gentle. She breathed a sigh of relief and felt even more guilty about her previous speculations.

The Empress and the Ninth Princess were so close, yet she actually suspected that the Ninth Princess was a monster. How wrong she was.

Lu Yanshi came back from court and heard Lu Li's cheerful laughter in the courtyard. He couldn't help but smile as well.

Lu Li's laughter diluted the sadness brought to him by Lu Yuan's death.

"Xiaojiu, what are you doing?" Lu Yanshi leaned down and looked at Lu Li who was lying on the ground.

She hasn't learned to walk yet and prefers crawling, which makes her more comfortable than walking.

"Play!" Lu Li held up the wooden horse and answered loudly.

When Lu Xuanyi saw her father, she immediately became reserved.

"Xuan'er pays respects to father."

Lu Li didn't understand why the Eighth Princess, who was smiling happily just now, suddenly became so nervous.

[Father is not a tiger, is he that scary? ]

After hearing this, Lu Yanshi began to reflect on whether he had been too fierce recently, which caused the children other than Xiaojiu to be so restrained when seeing him.

He simply picked up Lu Xuanyi.

"Why did Xiaoba come to play with your ninth sister today?"

Lu Xuanyi didn't expect her father to hug her, and her face turned red with excitement.

Lu Zhirong and the Queen came out together to greet the Emperor. When she saw this scene, her eyes became a little sore.

The scene in her dream actually came true.

The emperor held Xuan'er in his arms, talking and laughing.

"Huh? Why aren't you talking?" Lu Yanshi asked with a smile.

"Let's give the pony to Ninth Sister. I hope she won't be angry." Lu Xuanyi pointed at the small wooden horse in Lu Li's hand.

Lu Li cooperated very well in the demonstration.

She grabbed the pony's tail, pulled it as far as it would go, then let go, and the pony started running.

Lu Yanshi's eyes lit up.

"Who made this little wooden horse?"

Lu Xuanyi said proudly, "It was done by my mother!"

Seeing that Lu Yanshi was interested in the pony, Lu Zhirong hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, I made this for Xuan'er to play with."

"Xuan'er is usually very precious and no one else is allowed to touch it. But she and the Ninth Princess get along well, so she is willing to give the wooden horse to the Ninth Princess." Lu Zhirong was afraid that Lu Yanshi would blame her daughter for giving her an old toy, so she hurriedly defended her daughter.

"In a few days, when I make a new one, I will send you another one."
