Chapter 280 Waking up from a dream

But Eunuch Cao asked for a huge sum of money, thirty taels of silver for a lamp.

This made the ladies very angry. He had given them lanterns before, but when he met them, he asked for an exorbitant amount of money. He treated them differently, which was really infuriating and unbearable.

Eunuch Cao was beaten up one after another by these noble ladies' men.

He had finally recovered from his injuries after a long period of rest and was able to get out of bed and walk around slowly. But now, he couldn't get out of bed again.

His injury can't be healed.

He also offended many noble ladies because of this.

I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future.

Who did Jiujiu see?

Jiujiu saw Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun.

The Lantern Festival attracts a large number of people and lasts for several days, so it is very lively and is most suitable for doing some small business to supplement the family income.

Da Zhuang and Xia Xiao Yun, a married couple, seized this opportunity and sold the animal skins they had accumulated at home to supplement their family income.

When Jiujiu saw the two, he hurried to their stall and greeted them, "Hey, you two, nice to see you again."

For some reason, she always felt a sense of familiarity when she saw the two of them, so she came over to greet them.

Normally when she goes out for a walk and runs into someone she knows, she will walk around them. She doesn't want to greet them head-on and is too lazy to go up and say hello.

Da Zhuang and Xia Xiaoyun are different.

Jiujiu saw that Xia Xiaoyun's arm had healed, and she said in surprise: "Big sister, your arm is healed, that's great."

Jiujiu was really happy for Xia Xiaoyun.

"Little princess." Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun were very surprised when they suddenly saw Jiujiu.

"Shh..." Jiujiu quickly made a gesture to keep quiet and looked around. She was afraid of being heard because she was a princess.

"My name is Feng Yanyue, and my nickname is Jiujiu."

"Everyone calls me Jiujiu, you guys call me Jiujiu too, right?"

"This..." Da Zhuang and Xia Xiao Yun both looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid this isn't a good idea." The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, how could they call her by her name?

The two even wanted to kneel down and pay their respects to Jiujiu.

Seeing this, Jiujiu tried to stop them: "Don't, don't, don't..." After a pause, "If you insist, we will never recognize each other again."

These words scared Da Zhuang and Xia Xiao Yun, and they no longer insisted on calling her princess and performing the ceremony.

The two of them affectionately called each other Jiujiu.

Jiujiu listened, smiled and said, "That's about right."

"Big sister, your belly." Jiujiu saw that Xia Xiaoyun's belly was slightly bulging, which was very different from before. However, Xia Xiaoyun had slender limbs and did not look like she had gained weight. What was she doing... What was she doing...

Pregnant.

Xia Xiaoyun glanced at Dazhuang with a smile and nodded, "Yes, I'm pregnant."

"Da Zhuang and I have been married for several years, and now we are finally pregnant."

"Come to think of it, it's all thanks to the little princess."

"What do you mean?" The monk was completely confused.

How did their pregnancy delay her blessing?

She is not the goddess of fertility.

Jiujiu thought of this and smiled prettily.

Xia Xiaoyun explained: "Ever since Jiujiu helped us last time, everything we do has gone smoothly. Not only did my broken arm heal ahead of schedule, but I also got pregnant not long after returning home."

"Da Zhuang's arm seems to be getting better."

Xia Xiaoyun was very happy.

This must be related to the fact that they met a noble person before and then gave out porridge in the name of the noble person.

Good fortune comes when good fortune comes.

They also got feedback.

Jiujiu is their great benefactor.

As they were talking, a few more people who wanted to buy animal skins came over to look at them.

Soon, all the animal skins on Dazhuang and Xia Xiaoyun’s stalls were sold out.

I'm really lucky.

The stall was sold out soon after it was opened.

The two of them sold a lot of money, and they were counting the money happily, looking very happy.

Jiujiu was also happy with them, and Jiujiu also said: "Your life will definitely get better and better."

"Yes, it's getting better and better." Da Zhuang agreed.

only--

Da Zhuang has had several headaches recently, and some strange and fragmentary memories have flashed through his mind. They are unclear and puzzling, but real.

At this moment, Da Zhuang had a headache again.

He covered his head, looking distressed.

The smile on Xia Xiaoyun's face disappeared instantly. She hurriedly hugged Da Zhuang's arm and asked worriedly: "Da Zhuang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

"It's okay." Da Zhuang waved his hand, "It's just a headache, but it's gone now."

"Then let's go back?" Xia Xiaoyun said, "If it's any later, the road back to the village will be difficult to walk on at night, and there will be packs of wild dogs."

"good."

"Jiujiu, in half a month, we will go to the city to sell things. Then, I will bring you some red dates from our own date trees."

"The dates are ripe now."

"It's very sweet. You will definitely like it."

Xia Xiaoyun said enthusiastically.

Jiujiu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"By the way, Brother Dazhuang, if you still have headaches next time we meet, Jiujiu will take you to see the imperial physician in the palace." Jiujiu was very serious. "Headaches are not a minor illness. They must be treated as soon as possible."

"I know a very good doctor who can definitely cure you."

"Okay." Da Zhuang nodded with a smile and helped Xia Xiaoyun walk away.

The couple already had a very good relationship, and now that Xia Xiaoyun is pregnant, they have a common expectation and their relationship is even better.

After watching the two leave, Jiujiu went to play lantern fighting, guess lantern riddles, and eat candied haws. When he saw that the time was almost up, he reunited with his friends and went home.

Everyone is on the same street, and although it's crowded with people coming and going, you can find it quickly if you look carefully.

After returning to the palace, Jiujiu told Concubine Jia everything she saw at the Lantern Festival today, and then found the Queen and told her everything again.

The Queen liked to hear Jiujiu say these things, so whenever Jiujiu went out of the palace and encountered something new, she would tell Concubine Jia about it, and then tell the Queen again.

Occasionally, Jiujiu would tell it again to Emperor Zhaoning.

【Repeater 99.】

[One thing is repeated over and over again.]

[Ahhhh…]

After the queen heard Jiujiu's words and waited for Jiujiu to leave, she murmured, "If Lao Liu were still alive, he would also be like the Da Zhuang that Jiujiu mentioned, marrying and having children."

"I really want to see him again."

"I wish I could help him take care of the kids."

"But this is all fantasy."

The queen couldn't help crying again, and when she went to bed at night, she dreamed of the sixth prince again.

She dreamed that the Sixth Prince came back to her and called her mother. He had also grown taller and older, becoming an adult man. She looked so small and delicate standing in front of him that she couldn't even touch his head with her hand.

Fortunately, she saw him again.

The queen smiled with satisfaction, but when she woke up, everything was empty. It was all fake, just a dream.

——

ps: Let me clarify, Jiujiu has never seen Dazhuang, doesn't know Dazhuang, and has never confided in him, so she has no idea that Dazhuang is the Sixth Prince.
