7. Coax small balls
Xiao Hanyu felt that her life was really full of sadness.
Why? Why didn't she expect that the man in front of her, whose face was darker than the bottom of the pot, was actually the prince of Nanshu who was better than seeing it?
Hehe...... Uh-huh......
"What's that...... Xiao Xiangxiang, do you want to go back with your imperial uncle first, and my sister will come to see you another day? â
ââŚâŚâ
Xiao Hanyu, where is your integrity? What about the temperament!?
Without looking at the expressions of the rest of the people, the girl had already scorned herself fiercely in her heart at this moment.
Li Wujian didn't expect her to suddenly change her painting style, yes, she was so angry for a while. He took a deep breath, exhaled again, and opened his arms towards his little niece.
"Xiang Ming is obedient and comes to Uncle Huang."
By the time he said this, his tone seemed to have regained the gentleness he had just arrived.
Seeing that her favorite imperial uncle seemed to have changed back to his usual appearance, the lord of Xiangming County couldn't help but stare back at him. Seeing the tears on the little girl's face and a pair of big eyes looking at herself pitifully, Li Wujian suddenly softened his heart, regretting that he had not been able to control his love before, which scared his precious niece.
Remorse gradually arises, and the man's desire to make up for it is thickened. He even quickly adjusted his mind and smiled softly at the little one.
However, the county lord of Xiangming was still reluctant to give up her "mother", and after looking at him for a while, she turned back to her little head and reluctantly looked at the girl who was holding her.
Xiao Hanyu saw the attachment and hesitation in her eyes, so she said sensibly: "Xiao Xiangxiang, go back with your imperial uncle first." My sister will come to see you tomorrow...... I'll bring you a delicious sweet soup, okay? â
She suddenly remembered the temptation that Liuli had given when she coaxed the little guy before, and immediately added. It's a pity that although the little guy's eyes lit up, he was still glued to her body and refused to let go.
"My sister also drinks sweet soup with you, and after drinking, I will play with you and sleep with you, okay?" The girl gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and simply put forward a plan to eat, sleep, and play together.
The county lord of Xiangming furrowed his small eyebrows and meditated for a while, before he nodded reluctantly.
Xiao Hanyu let out a long sigh of relief.
She bent down and put the little guy on the ground, watching the little guy run hard towards Li Wuji, and said in her heart that this little doll is a person who doesn't hold grudges, and she was just scared and cried by the man's calm face, and in a blink of an eye, she returned to his arms without guilt.
Immediately after, she was given a cold look by the man.
Xiao Hanyu was a little weak--eh, but she had tried her best to cooperate with him just now, why did he still look at her with such cold eyes?
Thinking that the prince of Shu was a little calculating, the girl squinted her eyes while slandering. As everyone knows, after Li Wujian sent the county lord of Xiangming back to the dormitory to settle down, he immediately issued a secret order to the shadow guards beside him.
As the future king of a country, Li Wujian didn't know if the so-called "coincidence" would fall on his head, but since he had taken over the country of Shu from his father, he had to be responsible for the people of the world. Even if it was a 1 in 10,000 chance, he couldn't let it go.
Xiao Hanyu didn't know the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Prince, he only knew that people were unspeakable and untrustworthy. The next morning, she took the sweet soup she had promised, accompanied by the maid Scarlet Xue, to the bedroom of the county lord of Xiangming.
The little guy has long been dressed up beautifully, looking forward to the arrival of the "mother". As soon as she saw the figure of the person who came, her eyes lit up.
"Mother!"
Xiao Hanyu has a headache: Is this kid pretending to be stupid, or is he really forgetful? Obviously, I just said yesterday that I was okay, and I was not allowed to call her "mother" again.
Having said that, when she saw the little pink doll running towards her with excitement on her face, she still bent down and hugged her with a full face.
"Is Xiangxiang well-behaved?"
"Good."
The little guy nodded a little seriously, and was carried into the back room by someone who came.
Scarlet Xue followed, and after her master sat down with the little county lord in her arms, she brought out a bowl of sweet soup from the food box she was carrying. Xiao Hanyu fed the county lord of Xiangming a few sips, and when she saw her smacking her mouth and looking satisfied, she was amused on the spot.
"Mother, you drink it too."
It's just that when the little guy obediently said that he wanted to share it with her, she still had a little mixed feelings in her heart.
After a moment, she pulled down her face ruthlessly again, and said stiffly: "What I told you yesterday, have you forgotten?" â
When the little guy saw that her face was not good, he couldn't help but be startled, and looked at her with a stiff little face.
"What are you going to call me?"
The county lord of Xiangming finally understood why the "mother" was unhappy, but ......
She hung her little head pitifully and replied, "Sister......"
Xiao Hanyu pinched her ruddy and soft face: "That's how to behave." â
The little guy pouted slightly and raised his face, looking at her slightly aggrieved.
Well, you can't be soft-hearted.
Xiao Hanyu narrowed her eyes and smiled at her, and continued to knead her little face.
The county lord of Xiangming felt that something was wrong: my mother had never pinched her face before......
She wrenched her fingers in confusion, then decided not to think about it anymore.
After a while, one big and one small, you and I scraped the delicious sweet soup one by one, and the big one began to lead the little one outside to play.
In the late spring, the weather is pleasant, and the girl in the jasper year chases and frolicks in the courtyard with a drooping child, and the laughter like silver bells echoes in the empty courtyard, forming a warm and beautiful picture.
It's a pity that this scene fell into the eyes of some people, but it was covered with a gray veil. A pair of eyes in the dark looked straight at this place full of laughter, staring at it, but the owner of the eyes was forced to stop abruptly because the owner of the eyes noticed that there was someone nearby.
"Who is this, frolicking over there?"
A woman in her early thirties was dressed in plain clothes, and Shi Shiran was walking with the support of the palace maid, and she heard the joyful laughter, so she immediately frowned, and asked the people below in an unkind tone.
"If you go back to your mother, it is the bedroom of the lord of Xiangming."
The woman called "Niangniang" immediately sneered.
"In the end, I haven't been disciplined by my father and mother since I was a child, and when should I do something, I don't have any sense of proportion."
When the palace maid heard this, she even claimed that it was.
Her master was right. It had only been a few days since the first emperor died, and the entire palace was still immersed in grief, how could such unbridled laughter be heard? It is really worthy of being a maid who came with her outside the palace, Rao is nourished by the water and soil of this forbidden palace, and she still doesn't know what the "rules" are, so she lets the ignorant little master play in the palace.
"Children don't understand the rules, and this palace can't be regarded as not seeing. Let's go, go over and see. As she was thinking to herself, she heard her master's voice speak coldly.
"Yes." The palace maid knew what the master was thinking, and without saying a word, she helped the master and followed the sound unhurriedly.
It didn't take long for the girl to chase the lord of Xiangming and play. The graceful and luxurious woman twisted the beautiful thin eyebrows, and just stood in the courtyard, quietly waiting for the other party to find out.
Sure enough, in a blink of an eye, the two palace people who were originally watching the masters have fun came up with her idea of saving zĂ i. One of them, she recognized, was the maid who accompanied the lord of Xiangming from the Lian Wang's Mansion - Liuli.
"Slave and maid knock to see Concubine Mei!" I didn't expect to suddenly see the emperor's favorite concubine here, Liuli was also scared into a cold sweat, she hurriedly knelt down for the person who came, and shouted hello, by the way, it was also to remind everyone present that there was a noble person who could not be neglected to visit suddenly.
Fortunately, the little master of his own family is not just a crazy player, and the eighteenth princess who came from Dongzan from afar is not a discerning person, as soon as the two heard her words, they immediately paused and stopped laughing, and they all looked in the direction of the gate.
Facing the noble and cold eyes of the person who came up, Xiao Hanyu subconsciously protected Xiao Xiangming into his arms. Concubine Mei was simply amused when she saw this scene.
Looking at her different dress and this unfamiliar face, I think she is the princess from Zan Country, right? Why, the children of their Li family actually rely on her, an outsider who has beaten them together, to protect them?
That's right, Concubine Mei was still silent on her face, only raised her pointed chin, and looked at the vigilant girl with a smile.
At this moment, she heard the county lord of Xiangming say in a milky voice: "Xiangxiang asks for peace to the mother." â
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Hanyu lowered his head in surprise, and happened to witness the posture of the little guy after finishing the salute and shaking up.
The girl suddenly felt messy in the wind: such a young child is so presentable, compared to her as an adult, it is almost surpassed.
Xiao Hanyu suddenly felt a little ashamed. But......
In the eyes of the future people, the girl was not in a hurry to salute. As an "old man" who has been crawling in the deep palace compound for many years, Concubine Mei naturally can see what she means.
Sure enough, the girl who came from the barbarian land didn't understand the etiquette at all.
Thinking like this, the palace maid beside her had already stood up and shouted for her master: "Bold, when you see Concubine Mei, why don't you greet her?" â
Xiao Hanyu suddenly smiled.
Like them, she has seen a lot in the palace of Zanguo.
When she was disdainful, the girl opened her lips unhurriedly: "What about you?" A slave who fights with people, why doesn't he kneel down when he sees my dignified princess? â
The palace maid who replaced the master was only in her early twenties this year, and she didn't expect the other party to rebel against her, so she couldn't help but be stunned.
It is true that no matter how you say it, the one in front of her is still a princess who has come from thousands of miles away, even if she dares to rely on the power of her master and look down on her in her heart, she can't forget this "difference between respect and inferiority".
When the two sides were deadlocked, her master relieved her in time: "This palace is the concubine of the first emperor, and the princess will be the prince's side room in the future. â
The implication is that you and I are both concubines, I am an elder, and you are a junior.
Xiao Hanyu smiled again in her heart, but there was a smile on her face, and she said: "Niangniang, this palace is still the eighteenth princess of Zanguo, and she has not yet married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shu. In addition, the main palace comes from the orthodoxy of the royal family of Dongzan, and the blood of my Xiao family flows in my body. I remember my father and emperor said to me that no matter how noble the concubines in the palace are, to our Xiao family, they are just outsiders who are not related by blood, and some of them can't even enter the genealogy of my Xiao family. How? Could it be that in your Shu Kingdom, isn't it such a reason? â
