By the time Xiaoxi came to her senses, she heard Chunhe's voice.
"Greetings, Your Highness"
Get up.
Qin Jingyao carried Xiao Xi'er towards the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
Qin Jingyao, who is almost nine years old, looks thin and weak, but he is quite strong and hasn't gotten tired at all during the journey.
Chunhe was afraid that the eldest prince would drop the little princess, so she reached out to take Xiaoxi'er from Qin Jingyao's arms.
Qin Jingyi didn't give it to him, but instead held it tightly in his arms.
"What does this look like the First Prince? Can I eat him?"
"Princess, a prince is His Majesty's son, and the eldest prince is His Majesty's eldest son."
"Doesn't Father only have a nest?"
Just as Chunhe was about to speak again, Qin Jingyi spoke up.
"Your father only has one daughter, and four sons."
"Oh, what are you to me?"
"I am Xiaoxi'er's older brother."
Little Xi'er understood, "Does that mean I have three more brothers?"
Xiao Xi'er also held up one finger.
Qin Jingyao placed Xiao Xi'er on the stone bench in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and watched as Xiao Xi'er sat down...
He reached out and pulled out another of Xiaoxi'er's fingers, saying, "Xiaoxi'er has two older brothers and one younger brother."
"AoAo"
"What number am I?"
"Little Xi'er is the fourth child."
"AoAo"
Xiao Xi'er held up one more finger, then three fingers, and Qin Jingji pulled out another finger from Xiao Xi'er.
Hehehe
Little Xi'er smiled at Qin Jingji, showing her tiny baby teeth.
"It's like a pot inside, and the pot inside is like a pot inside" (You are my brother, and I am your brother).
No, you're my sister.
"Oh, my little sister" (I am your little sister)
Little Xi jumped off the stone bench, ran to Xia Ju, and said, "I called my brother again!"
Then she ran up to Chunhe and Sanshu, showing off, "I have a brother now!"
Qin Jingyi watched Xiao Xi'er running around bragging about having a brother, and smiled absentmindedly.
She had assumed that Xiao Xi'er disliked her and was afraid that she would compete with her for the Emperor's favor, which was why she never came to the harem.
Even when we met last time, he didn't call me "brother" or "royal elder brother".
Thinking back, the last time I saw Xiaoxi was a year ago.
It was summer, and the imperial academy was closed for the day. It was evening, and there was no one in the imperial garden.
I wanted to overcome my fear of lakes and the sea, and conquer the fear I had since I was four years old, so I decided to learn to float.
I made a huge decision back then, but standing by the lake, thinking about what happened back then, my legs started to tremble uncontrollably.
Just when I was almost ready and about to jump into the lake to start practicing
That little dumpling popped out from who-knows-where.
With its two short arms wrapped around its legs, it sat directly on my feet and shouted, "You can't get down!"
"Daddy said there are little bugs inside."
I recognized her immediately, but I don't know if she recognized me.
She didn't call him "brother" or "royal brother," so she probably didn't recognize him.
At the time, they wouldn't let me get down no matter what I said, and no amount of explaining could change their mind. The little girl was sitting on my feet, making it impossible for me to walk.
As a result, I was unable to learn how to float that evening.
That evening, the little dumpling kept me company for quite a while.
They said there were little bugs in the water and we couldn't go in, blah blah blah.
When the little dumpling saw that I was ignoring her, she grabbed my face and said, "You're so pretty, but if you get bitten by bugs, you won't be pretty anymore."
What was your expression back then? You probably didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of expression describes a boy as handsome?
But later, I unconsciously began to protect my face from injury, and even cherished it.
What I used to dislike has turned into love, and I'm even grateful to myself for having a good appearance.
So the little dumpling stayed with him to watch the sunset, but perhaps afraid of being punished by his father, he ran off by himself afterward.
He never called me "Royal Brother" once, and I was angry about it for a long time.
Looking back now, I realize that the reason my father didn't call me that was because he never told this little one that he had older and younger brothers.
If even her father didn't tell her, then the people below certainly wouldn't tell her either. No wonder.
"Brother? Brother? Why aren't you talking to me?"
I was pulled out of my mind by Xiao Xi'er.
Xiao Xi looked at herself, then ran into Xia Ju's arms with a frightened expression.
He thought he had scared Xiaoxi by not smiling, and was about to apologize when he heard these words.
"Oh no, my brother has been tricked into being stupid by Xiao Xi'er!"
"What will the verdict be? What will the verdict be?" (What to do? What to do?)
"Does this mean I'm going to be without a brother again?"
Little Xi'er was crying so hard in Xia Ju's arms.
Is this what it feels like to be loved and cared for?
Seeing Xiaoxi'er's actions and hearing her words, my heart melted completely.
Smiling, she stood up, walked behind Xiao Xi'er, and took Xiao Xi'er out of Xia Ju's arms.
Seeing Xiaoxi'er's face covered in snot and tears, I didn't know whether I felt more heartache or wanted to laugh.
But you can't laugh at this time, or Xiaoxi will really get angry.
She picked up her own handkerchief and wiped away Xiaoxi'er's tears, then wiped her nose.
"Brother, you're not stupid, look."
