"Yes, according to His Majesty and the Empress, when little Master He returns, he will be made a prince," the chief eunuch nodded, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh, "The Emperor and Empress really treat little Master He well, raising him up single-handedly, treating him no differently than any other prince or princess, truly treating him as their own son."
"Young Master He treats the Emperor and Empress and the princes and princesses well. When he was still young, he would massage His Majesty's back and legs every day. He is filial and no wonder His Majesty loves him so much," the head maid said with a smile. After a pause, she continued, "But then again, Young Master He is already ten years old this year and is about to be canonized as a prince. I'm afraid his arranged marriage is not far away, right?"
"Yes, I wonder which noble lady would have such good fortune. If she could marry Young Master He, she would really be in luck!" the chief eunuch sighed.
"Wow!"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a loud cry coming from the field. They hurried in and saw Prince Zhong Yuanrui sitting in the mud and crying loudly. He had been playing in the mud for such a long time that his whole body was covered in mud, even his little face was covered with mud. At this time, tears burst out, leaving two thin white marks, looking both pitiful and adorable.
"What's wrong? What happened to you, Prince?" The maid in charge was so distressed that she ran over and took out a handkerchief to wipe the little prince's face, while anxiously asking, "Is your prince hurt anywhere? Tell me and I'll call the imperial physician for you..."
"No! It doesn't hurt! And... I don't want an imperial physician!" As soon as the little prince heard the word "imperial physician", he cried even louder, gasping for breath. "I... I hate Uncle Qin. The medicine he brews is so bitter! I... I don't want to see him! I just don't want to see him!"
"Hmph! Good-for-nothing!" The equally dusty little princess Zhong Tiantian, who was squatting nearby and digging dirt with a shovel and putting it into a small white jade bowl, glared at the howling little prince with disdain, while lowering her head to dig the dirt.
“Wow!” The next second, the little prince started to wail again, pointing at the small jade bowl in the little princess’ hand and complaining to the maid in charge, “She…her own bowl was broken! So she came to grab mine! I didn’t give it to her, so she, she kicked me to the ground! Wow wow!”
The maid in charge: “…”
"Rui'er, how about you use my bowl?" Pang Nianqin, who was squatting quietly digging the soil, handed the small bowl in his hand to the little prince, "Look, my bowl is bigger than yours, and can hold more soil."
"I don't want it! I want my bowl!" The little prince slapped the bowl in front of him to the ground, kicking his legs on the ground, "I want my bowl!"
"Then go get it," Pang Nianqin silently picked up his bowl, glanced at the little prince, then looked at the little princess, and said expressionlessly, "It's in Tiantian's hand, just go get it."
"Wow!" After a brief pause, the little prince burst into tears and fell into the arms of the head maid.
"Brother Nianqin, ignore him, he's just a crybaby!" Zhong Tiantian glared at Zhong Yuanrui with disdain, then ran to sit in front of Pang Nianqin with a shovel in one hand and a small bowl in the other, "Come on! Brother Nianqin, let's make steamed buns together!"
"Okay." Pang Nianqin said with a smile, and was busy digging soil into the bowl with Zhong Yuanrui. When the bowl was full of soil, they slammed the bowl to the ground, closed their eyes and tapped the small bowl with their fingers, and listened to Zhong Tiantian starting to sing crisply.
"Steamed buns, steamed buns, make a good steamed bun, one for dad, one for mom, and the remaining one for him. Waiting for him, looking forward to him, coming to our house in a sedan chair carried by eight people, with a bright red veil on his head and embroidered shoes on his feet. From now on, steamed buns must also be in pairs..."
