Chapter 138: Courage after Shame

When Wei Nong saw the little bear, she finally understood why Chu Li "couldn't bear to do it". In the small cage house, there is a small bear with bright fur, a pair of black eyes that rotate flexibly, and looks extremely innocent. The mouth seems to be closed, and the saliva keeps flowing out, but it doesn't feel sloppy, but it is particularly cute.

When Wei Nong saw it, the palace people were "serving" it, gently combing its hair with a grate like combing a woman's hair. The bear seemed to be enjoying it very much, and lay there obediently, very comfortable.

Wei Nong gestured with her hand, the bear was about a little shorter than her arm, and it should have been born not long ago. She fell in love with it all of a sudden, and couldn't help but ask the palace people: "What's its name?" ”

"Your Highness said, waiting for you to give your name."

"I'll give you a name?" Wei Nong looked at the bear in front of him, and he was a little difficult. I thought of the names of the people in Yuntai Palace, Shui Yue, Ji Yue...... is so elegant and refined, so what should this little bear in Yuntai Palace be called?

She thought for a long time in front of the cage house, and had no idea. At this moment, I saw the little bear turning over lazily, from lying on his stomach to lying down, his round belly pouted high, coupled with a bright coat color, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a gold ingot.

Wei Nong immediately came up with an idea: "How about calling it 'ingot'?" ”

Naturally, the palace people didn't dare to say badly, and they nodded busily.

Only the Lantern Festival behind her was unhappy, and said coldly: "Princess, the slave maid is called 'Lantern Festival', you call it 'Yuanbao', isn't it the same generation as the slave maid?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked aggrieved, which made everyone around her laugh. Wei Nong couldn't help laughing, taking into account Lantern Xiao's emotions, and said, "It seems that something is wrong, so what do you say it's called?" ”

Lantern Xiao glanced at the bear's round belly and coughed lightly: "'Roll'? 'Round'? 'Lazy'? ”

She said several times in a row, and the more Wei Nong listened, the more helpless she became, waved her hand, and sighed: "Forget it, let's wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come down and choose a name!" ”

Unexpectedly, as if he understood Wei's words, the little bear suddenly rolled around, got up from the ground, and looked out of the cage house and "purred". Its innocent round eyes looked at Wei Nong, and it looked pitiful, as if it was dissatisfied that it had no name.

Weinong's heart melted suddenly, and he couldn't help but put his fingers into the cage room, ignoring the urgent reminders of the palace people, helped it wipe the saliva that flowed, and said with a smile: "So clever!" Can you understand what we are saying? ”

The bear stuck out his tongue, licked his slightly thick fingers, and made a "purr" sound again, as if in response.

The slightly thick fingers were itchy by it, and I couldn't help but giggle.

At this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded: "Among the three emperors and five emperors, two are related to 'bears'. Fuxi is called 'Yellow Bear', and the Yellow Emperor is 'There is a Bear', which shows that the bear is the sign of the emperor and the auspicious omen. Sister Crown Princess, why don't you just call it 'Xiangrui'? ”

Wei Min turned around with a voice, but saw a little girl with a double-ring bun appear out of nowhere, standing behind him. This girl is eleven or twelve years old, wearing a wide-sleeved palace dress with Danbi gauze pattern, her appearance is delicate and bright, and there is a shallow pear vortex on each side of the corner of her smiling lips, which looks very moving.

Although he is young, he can already see that he is a beautiful embryo.

"The slave (slave) has seen the third princess......" A group of palace people around immediately knelt down and saluted.

Three princesses? She is Chu Li's younger sister Chu Huan? Wei Nong reacted, and was about to speak, Chu Huan had already taken the first step, saluted gracefully, and said with a sweet smile: "Chu Huan has seen the princess's sister. ”

As the crown prince, Chu Li has one sister and two brothers and sisters. The second prince Chu Heng is one year older than Wei Nong, and before Wei Nong entered the palace, he had been made a marquis and went to the fief to open a mansion to live alone; The third prince, Chu Cong, was thirteen years old and still lived in the palace of the king of Chu; The eldest princess Chu Yao married Jiang Guo far away, and she is a secretive person in this palace; The second princess, Chu Lin, was frail and sickly, and she easily did not go out of the dormitory to blow the wind; And the one in front of her is the third princess Chu Huan, and she is also the most favored pearl of the King of Chu.

"It turned out to be the third princess." Wei Nong hurriedly helped her.

Although Chu Huan was young, he was very thoughtful in his etiquette, and explained: "According to the rules of the palace, female dependents who do not have a concubine cannot participate in the wedding banquet. Huan'er was unable to attend the wedding ceremony between you and the prince's brother, and then she fell ill, and she was afraid that she would pass the illness on you, so she never came to visit. Sister Crown Princess won't be angry, right? ”

She didn't call "sister-in-law", only "sister princess", but it made Wei Nong feel extremely cordial, and hurriedly replied with concern: "The princess is serious, are you cured now?" ”

"It's so much better! I was finally able to come out and breathe. After all, Chu Huan was young, and his words were childish: "Today, I heard that the prince's brother hunted a bear, so Huan'er took the liberty to come over and take a look." ”

After she finished speaking, she looked left and right again, and said strangely: "Huh? What about the third brother? I came with him. ”

The eunuch beside her immediately replied: "Princess, Your Royal Highness the Third Highness saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front, and this is ...... is being caught by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask about his schoolwork! ”

Chu Huan hid his face and laughed when he heard this, and said to Wei Nong: "I brought the third brother over, it seems that I hurt him." The prince's brother is too strict! ”

Wei Nong silently agreed with Chu Huan's words in his heart, and he didn't want to know that the stubborn Chu Cong must have suffered a lot. She had seen Chu Cong, and the day after the wedding, she went to serve tea to the king of Chu, and Chu Cong stood respectfully on the side, perhaps because of the presence of his father and brother, he was only thirteen years old and had been pretending to be steady, but Wei Nong knew at a glance that he was not a well-behaved child who kept to himself.

Thinking of this, Wei Nong suddenly found one thing - Chu Li's second brother Chu Heng, she had never seen it.

When she was with Chu Guo, Chu Heng had been out of the palace for more than a year, and she had not met him. Later, when I heard that the queen of Chu died, Chu Heng came back to mourn, but just after the first seven, he didn't know what he had done, and was severely reprimanded by the king of Chu.

It wasn't until Chu Li married her in March this year that Chu Heng hurried back to watch the banquet, but she was covered with a hijab that day and never saw him at all. Early the next morning, when she went to serve tea to the king of Chu, she heard that Chu Heng had returned to Fengyi overnight, so she only saw Chu Cong.

As for Chu Heng's rude behavior, Chu Li actually didn't say anything, at least Wei Nong never heard him mention a word.

Chu Li, the second brother, she really only heard of his name but didn't see him, and all her knowledge of him came from the palace secrets that he had heard before, and part of it came from Chu Li's mouth.

The people in Yanwanggong said that Chu Heng was not favored, and the king and queen of Chu ignored him; Wei Nong knew that he was awarded the title of Marquis at the age of seventeen, and went to Fengyi and rarely returned to Beijing; Also, Chu Li once said that he loved martial arts and became obsessed. That's all.

"Sister Crown Princess?" Wei Nong was thinking distractedly, when a sweet and greasy call suddenly came to her ears, which brought her back to her senses.

"What?" Wei Nong was a little ashamed, Chu Huan was talking to her, and she suddenly lost her mind!

Fortunately, Chu Huan didn't find anything, and thought she didn't hear clearly, so she repeated again: "This little bear is called 'Xiangrui', okay?" ”

"Well, that's good!" Wei Nong looked at the round one in the cage house, and the little bear seemed to be addicted to this action, constantly rolling on the ground, occasionally scratching his squeaky nest, and playing with himself as if no one was around, without the slightest fear or anxiety.

Wei Nong saw that Chu Huan liked this little bear, so he nodded at her and said with a smile: "The name of the third princess is really good, from now on, it will be called 'Xiangrui'." ”

Chu Huan laughed happily, looked at Wei Nong, and said enviously: "Brother Prince is so good to you, and he also gave you a little bear." ”

"What? Didn't your prince's brother give you a gift? Wei Nong blurted out.

Chu Huan sighed: "I have sent it, it is all some rare treasures or something, I have not sent small animals, and the prince's brother said that he was afraid that I would be scratched." ”

Seeing Chu Huan's low tone, Wei Nong couldn't help but comfort her a few words, and told the palace people to take good care of the bear, so he went back to the vestibule of Yuntai Palace with Chu Huan. Sure enough, I saw Chu Cong hanging his head, looking depressed, which showed that he was criticized by Chu Li.

Wei Nong talked to the two of them for a while, and asked Chu Yi to make a few Yanguo-style dim sum, and Chu Cong's interest gradually increased. After laughing like this, when Chu Cong and Chu Huan left in the end, they were reluctant, and the three of them agreed to reunite tomorrow.

Although Wei Nong is seventeen years old, he is also full of bones, leading Chu Li's younger siblings to eat, drink and play for a few days, and the three of them quickly became acquainted. Wei Nong occasionally left them to eat in Yuntai Palace, but Chu Cong was afraid of Chu Li's school homework, so he always refused; Chu Huan will stay generously, and have lunch and dinner with Chu Li and Wei Nong before leaving.

After getting along for a long time, Wei Nong felt more and more ashamed, because Chu Huan was less than twelve years old, and he was already full of poetry and books at a young age. When she named Xiao Xiong, she would mention Fuxi and the Yellow Emperor, which was completely unintentional and did not mean to show off; Later, when she got along with Wei Nong, she would also pop up a few allusions from time to time, some of which were unheard of by Wei Nong.

Because of Chu Huan, Wei Nong really realized what a princess of a country should look like. It's not as bitter and mean as Jincheng, arrogant and arrogant, and it doesn't necessarily have to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it can be innocent and lively, or it can be gentle and graceful.

Wei Nong reflected that she was really too far away from Chu Huan, and in front of this princess who was five or six years younger than her, she was ashamed of herself. This stimulated her a lot, so she studied harder, except for occasional play with Chu Huan and Chu Cong, she even dropped archery for the time being, buried herself in hard reading every day, and began to practice calligraphy again in her spare time.

Seeing this, Chu Li asked her the reason, and she told her the truth, so he took more time to guide her. It is said that a famous teacher produces a high apprentice, and with Chu Li's teacher, Wei Nong feels that he is making rapid progress.

After two seasons of hard work, by the end of the summer of this year, she was already able to write well, and the five hundred and sixty palace rules of the Chu Palace were also familiar with her. Needless to say, the housekeeping of Yuntai Palace, Chu Li has completely let go of her, and she is in charge of everything. In the past, she was ashamed to write, but now people present all kinds of account books, and she is willing to put pen to paper to annotate.

Except for not having a round house with Chu Li, she felt that she really felt like a crown princess. Even the first day of the new year and the Lantern Festival can't help but admire: the princess has changed so much!
