Su Ruojin found it strange to see Xiaobao like this.
In the past, Xiao Bao would have taken the initiative to reach out to her, but today, when she reached out her hand, Xiao Bao backed away.
Yi'er put her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "Sister Jin, I'll just follow you. Master said that men and women should keep their distance."
Su Ruojin knew him better than Yi'er imagined. She looked at Yi'er and her face darkened. "Hold out your hand."
Yi'er noticed that Sister Jin was unhappy, and hesitantly reached out her hand.
Su Ruojin then noticed that Xiaobao's palms were covered in blisters, most of which had broken open, and some even looked like they had been broken open for some time, with new wounds on top of old ones.
Su Ruojin immediately understood that Xiaobao had practiced his swordsmanship so hard in order to attend Nian'er's full moon celebration.
You should know that Xiao Bao has her own specially prepared plasters, and those plasters are far more effective than the ones you can buy on the market.
Even with these ointments, Xiao Bao's hands are still in such good condition; the effort he put in is beyond imagination.
Let alone a child, even most adults can't do it.
Now that Su Ruojin is a mother, she can't bear to see Xiaobao, such a young child, suffer like this, and her nose even feels a little sore.
Xiao Bao seemed to see the sadness in Sister Jin's eyes and quickly said, "Sister Jin, I'm fine. It's just a small injury. With the ointment you gave me, I'll be fine tomorrow."
Xiao Yanchu saw it too, stepped forward and patted Yi'er's head, "Yi'er, you're very good."
Qin Buyu also said, "Yi'er is working very hard."
Yan Luo, with her keen eye, took out some ointment and handed it to Su Ruojin. Su Ruojin squatted down and carefully applied the ointment and bandaged Xiao Bao.
Finally, he gently took Xiao Bao's bandaged hand and led him to Prince Lin'an's side.
"Xiao Bao, this is your sister Nian'er."
Xiao Bao was very excited, but he wasn't tall enough to see the little bundle of milk in the Prince of Lin'an's arms clearly.
He bowed to the Prince of Lin'an and said, "Greetings, Imperial Grandfather." Then he stood on tiptoe and tried to look into the Prince of Lin'an's arms.
When Prince Lin'an saw Yi'er like this, he smiled and said, "Yi'er, would you like to hug your little sister?"
Xiao Bao was about to nod, but then he remembered his bandaged hand and was afraid of hurting the little girl, so he shook his head and said, "I'll just take a look."
Su Ruojin noticed Xiao Bao's cautiousness, took Nian'er from the Prince of Lin'an, and gently placed her in Xiao Bao's arms, carefully supporting her.
"Xiao Bao, hug your little sister. From now on, you'll be her older brother, so you have to protect her."
Looking at the soft, cuddly little bundle of milk in his arms, Xiao Bao's expression was very tense, and his whole body was taut.
My little sister is so tiny.
Nian'er stared at Xiao Bao with wide, bewildered eyes, waving her little fists and opening and closing her mouth, occasionally furrowing her brows.
At that moment, Xiao Bao felt that his little sister was the cutest person in the world, and he wanted to give the little one in his arms all the best things in the world.
"Little sister, I'm your big brother," Xiao Bao said softly to Nian'er.
Nian'er moved her little mouth and made babbling sounds.
Looking at the little bundle of joy, Xiao Bao smiled, feeling that all the effort he had put in to come see his little sister was worth it.
Xiao Bao returned Nian'er to Su Ruojin, then took off his jade pendant and placed it on Nian'er.
"Sister Jin, this is my gift to my little sister for her one-month celebration."
Su Ruojin was stunned. This was the jade pendant that symbolized Emperor Xiaobao's status. People would regard seeing this jade pendant as if they were seeing the emperor himself.
"Xiao Bao, you can't give this jade pendant to your little sister, it's too precious."
Su Ruojin thought Xiaobao didn't know, so she quickly took off the jade pendant and wanted to return it to him.
Xiao Bao didn't take it, and said firmly, "Nian'er is my sister. If I have it, my sister should have it too. It's just a jade pendant."
Xiao Yanchu said, "Ajin, this is also a token of Yi'er's affection. Please accept it."
