50. Rag Doll
"I'm willing!" Jin Lanyue said passionately.
The little dumpling looked at the puppy, then at the little prince: "Let Little White keep you company. Don't be sad, don't cry... You must take good care of it."
"I...I think, uh, I'm not going to cry." The little prince scratched his head, looking a little confused at the little dumpling's misty eyes. "Why don't you stop crying?"
"Moon didn't cry!" The little dumpling wiped away her tears with her sleeve with a heroic gesture. "Moon is with you, and Little White is with you too!"
"Oh, thank you... okay..." the little prince said, "I will definitely take good care of it! If you miss it these next few days, you can come to Chonghua Palace to see it anytime."
"Mmm!" The little dumpling nodded vigorously.
Seeing that the little dumpling wasn't crying, the little prince finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Little Moon, you're so kind."
"You're welcome!" The little dumpling stood on tiptoe, stretched out her arm, and patted his shoulder. "Yue'er will go see Xiaobai first thing tomorrow morning! Don't be afraid to come all alone, Yue'er will come to see you tomorrow and will give you one..."
Just as the little dumpling was about to say that she was going to give the little prince a doll, she remembered that Auntie System had emphasized that it had to be done "secretly".
So she immediately withdrew the word "doll".
Yes, she's going to secretly give the little prince a surprise!
The little prince, overjoyed that she was coming to visit him tomorrow during her day off, was so excited that he completely missed the rest of her sentence: "Really? You're coming to play with me tomorrow? That's wonderful!"
He excitedly spun around several times: "I'll have the Imperial Kitchen prepare some delicious food right away, and the Imperial Household Department send over some toys! I'll send a carriage to pick you up tomorrow! Oh, and by the way! I'm going to renovate Chonghua Palace! I'll make it beautiful!"
“…Surprise.” The little dumpling finally uttered the two words she had changed her mind on the spot.
But just as the little prince was too excited to hear clearly, the little dumpling quickly became happy and put the matter out of his mind.
She joined in, waving her arms and legs excitedly: "Yay! Yay! Delicious! Toys! So pretty!"
-
Inside Jinlanyue's boudoir.
The little dumpling tiptoed around the room, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, her little face covered in dust.
She finally pulled out an exquisite box from the deepest part of the wardrobe, inside which lay a rag doll.
"Found it!" the little dumpling cheered softly, gently patting the dust off the doll.
This doll was a gift from her mother for her birthday last year. She loved it so much, but she couldn't bear to play with it, so she carefully put it in a box and hid it away, and wouldn't let anyone else touch it.
But I have so many toys that I just forget about them...
If it weren't for the system auntie mentioning it this time, the doll would probably have stayed in the box for a long time.
Then, the little girl sat on the edge of the bed, holding the doll, and thought seriously: "Where should I put it?"
She racked her brains: "Put it by the little prince's bedside? No, no, that's not surprising enough... Put it in the cupboard? But what if someone else finds it first..."
Just as she was deep in thought, her mother pushed open the door and came in.
"Yue'er? You took this doll out?" Jiang Xiyue asked.
The little dumpling jumped up, frantically hiding the doll behind her back, desperately trying to cover it up: "No, no! Yue'er didn't bring it out! Mother didn't see anything!"
"Oh—" Jiang Xiyue smiled, "Okay, Mother didn't see anything. Let's go, Yue'er, it's time for dinner."
