After sitting for a while, the food soon came up, and it was delicious and fragrant.
After eating and drinking, the queen was about to leave, but Su Lili carefully grabbed her sleeve.
[Mother, shall we go to the Imperial Garden together? It's so boring staying in the bedroom! ]
His big eyes were blinking, which made the queen's heart melt.
Why are there such cute little babies in the world?
Leaning over, the queen gently held her soft little hand and said in a soft voice, "Li Li wants to go out and play?"
【Mmm! Mmm!】
Su Lili nodded her head awkwardly and made babbling sounds.
"Okay, then I will go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden with your mother!"
The queen's eyes were soft. She pinched the little hand and shook it, then rubbed some oil on the soft and tender little face.
...
...
The weather is just right and the breeze is gentle, making it the perfect day for sunbathing.
The virtuous concubine held Su Lili in her arms and walked in front side by side with the queen, followed by several personal palace maids and the virtuous concubine's trusted nanny Li.
But there were clusters of flowers in the imperial garden, and bees and butterflies fluttering among the flowers.
There are towering rockeries, flowing water under small bridges, rippling green waves of Cuiyun Lake, and a faint floral scent in the air that is refreshing.
But soon, discordant voices were heard, including cursing and pleas for mercy.
The Queen and Concubine Xian looked at each other and decided to take a detour and not provoke them, but Su Lili widened her eyes, pointed at the rockery and kept babbling.
[There's gossip, the third prince is bullying the proton again! The proton is the male protagonist, I really want to see what he looks like! ]
[Mother, mother, take me there quickly, take me there! ]
Su Lili flapped her short legs hard and twisted around in Concubine Xian's arms, looking extremely restless.
"Well, it's okay to go and see what's going on. Look how anxious Li Li is!"
The queen smiled softly and walked slowly towards the rockery with the virtuous concubine.
At this time, on the small open space behind the rockery, a little boy of seven or eight years old in black clothes was kneeling obediently on the ground.
Her long black hair was braided into small braids, and her black clothes were embroidered with totems, but they were pulled so hard that they were a little wrinkled.
Standing opposite was a young boy of about eleven or twelve years old in Chinese clothes, with triangular eyes full of hostility, a pointed chin and a monkey-like face, making him look extremely mean.
"Hmph, you little bastard, you have no shame. You actually dared to dirty my new shoes. Lick them clean for me now, or I will tell my father and let him punish you severely!"
"I told you, I didn't make your shoes dirty. I didn't even touch you..."
Faced with the false accusation, the little boy stood up straight, his voice was childish but firm, and he was neither humble nor resistive.
"Oh, you actually dared to talk back to me, my highness. I think you are tired of living!"
"I said no, then there is no...ah!"
The young man couldn't stand it any longer, so he kicked the little boy to the ground. The ground was covered with mud, and his clothes were instantly stained.
Then, at the young man's signal, the young eunuchs gathered around and started beating and kicking him.
The boy watched the fun and clapped his hands happily.
"Haha, I told you not to talk back, I told you not to talk back, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
To avoid being beaten, the little boy rolled on the ground holding his head, gritting his teeth tightly, without making a sound.
When Concubine Xian arrived with Su Lili in her arms, she happened to see this scene, and a hint of disgust naturally flashed across her eyes.
[Sucks, so this is the male protagonist. I didn't expect him to be so cute when he was a child. It's just that his fate is a bit tragic. ]
[No wonder, no wonder, after returning to the country and ascending the throne, he led an army to destroy the Great Yong Kingdom and made the skulls of several princes into wine vessels... It turns out that he was avenging himself! ]
Su Lili secretly complained in her heart, but it scared Concubine Xian and the Queen so much that their faces turned pale. They looked at the little boy as if he was looking at a man-eating evil ghost.
[Hey, if the Queen Mother rescued him at this time, and the Third Prince was punished, would the outcome be reversed? ]
Su Lili rubbed her chin and nodded thoughtfully.
Over there, the Third Prince also saw the Queen and immediately performed a proper salute, "Your son, I pay my respects to you, Mother."
Before he could even complain, he heard a slapping sound and a red and swollen slap mark instantly appeared on his face, with a little blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Mother, why did you hit me?"
Covering half of his face, the Third Prince Su Lan's eyes were full of grievance. This was the first time he was beaten since he was a child.
The reason for the beating, could it be...
No, the Queen Mother has always disliked the little bastard, and no matter how I bully him, she has always acquiesced!
"Don't you understand?" Looking at this disappointing son, the queen gritted her teeth, raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the little boy, "Now, immediately, apologize to the little proton! Otherwise, I will beat you again!"
Although the queen usually looks soft and gentle, when she is really angry, she can also maintain the majesty of a superior, just like her position as the mother of a country.
Intimidated by the majesty, Su Lan could only suppress her anger and bow, and then, while the queen was no longer angry, she led her palace servants to flee.
After being rescued with great difficulty, the little boy immediately fumbled to his feet from the ground, his delicate little face covered in mud, with bruises and purples all over it, not a single piece of healthy flesh.
When I looked up, I happened to see Su Lili in the cradle. The little girl was white and chubby like a glutinous rice dumpling, with big, bright eyes that seemed filled with tiny starlight.
[Hello, little proton Hu Yancuo! ]
Su Lili raised her hand awkwardly and greeted Hu Yancuo with a sweet smile that made people feel endeared.
Hu Yancuo was slightly stunned, and a strange red color appeared on the tip of his ears.
As a hostage, he suffered discrimination in the palace of Dayong State. Various beatings were commonplace, and he had long been accustomed to it.
The people in the palace looked at him with contempt, fear, or disgust, but it was the first time they saw such bright and kind eyes.
[Shh, the little proton is all dirty, looks so sinful, and has so many injuries, it must be very painful! ]
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in his ears. Hu Yancuo looked around but did not see any other little kids.
Looking at Su Lili again, her little mouth was tightly closed, but her big round eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Could it be that he could actually hear her inner voice? Was there really such a magical thing in the world?
I heard that Concubine Xian gave birth to a fairy princess who would bring good news to the Yong Kingdom. Could she be the one they were talking about?
Could my sudden rescue be related to this little princess?
"How dare you look directly into the little princess' eyes!"
As soon as the queen finished her reprimand, she realized that she seemed too harsh. She paused and said, "Come here, boil a basin of hot water for the little proton to bathe, and ask a few imperial doctors to check on him."
