Chapter 421 Wood Carving Rabbit (1st Update)
Han Youning had the heart to observe Hu Mu for a while, and he stayed in Zhenyuan for a long time today, but in the name of following the Duchess of Zhongguo to learn from the girl.
As the sun rises higher and higher, it becomes more and more intense, and the shade of the trees is no longer enough to stop the heat.
Duchess Zhongguo saw that Han Youning was fascinated and had no intention of returning to Youyuan, so she proposed to go to the house.
Han Youning readily agreed, and looked at Hu Mu, only to find him sitting on the ground, leaning against the tree and falling asleep.
She lost her smile, but she was still a child.
She walked up to him and crouched down, and was about to wake him up, when he saw his eyes open suddenly, and he froze there motionless, with a fierce fear and vigilance in his eyes.
Han Youning was taken aback by Hu Mu's reaction, took a step back, and said softly, "Shizi, it's me. But a nightmare?"
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, the panic on Hu Mu's face gradually dissipated, and he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Hmm."
Han Youning said with concern, "It's starting to get hot outside, if the prince is sleepy, go back to his room and sleep."
Hu Mu shook his head, "I'm not sleepy." After another pause, "You continue to learn from your mother, I'm not sleepy."
The three of them went back to the house.
There was a table of eight immortals in the hall with four chairs.
Han Youning and the Duchess of Zhongguo sat down next to each other, while Hu Mu sat opposite, put the rabbit cage on the table, and lay on the table to watch the rabbit.
Through the fence of the rabbit cage, you can see the little rabbit inside, and you can also see Han Youning on the opposite side.
Duchess Zhongguo embroidered very quickly, and the scattered flowers on the skirt were all embroidered, and she pointed to the flowers and said softly, "Princess, you see, the concubine's body is only embroidered with petals, but the stamens are empty. The concubine is planning to sew the pearl rice into the stamens, so that it will be shiny and beautiful, and it can press the skirt."
Han Youning admired her ingenuity, "This gauze skirt is light, but if it is too elegant, it will inevitably be not dignified, Madame is really a master."
Duchess Zhongguo pursed her lips and smiled, she got up and walked into the inner room, and said, "Last night, the concubine took out a small box of pearl rice, and she had to pick out the right color, and she had to be generally big. When the prince saw that I was busy embroidering, he asked him to pick them, but I don't know how well he picked them. If it doesn't work, we'll have to pick it again."
Han Youning smiled, "The prince is so serious, it must be no problem to pick one."
She looked at Hu Mu with a smile, "Thank you. That pearl rice has been dazzling for a long time, but it's not an easy job."
Hu Mu looked up at her, "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
Han Youning pursed his lips and laughed, "I don't lack anything, didn't you give me a lot of things a few days ago?"
Hu Mu said seriously, "Say one you want very much. I can do it for you, if I don't know, you can learn."
"If the princess wants something, she has her own prince to give it, why do you have to worry about it?"
The Duchess of Zhongguo came out and stopped her son with a smile, after all, men and women don't kiss, how can they make something for the princess with their own hands?
Hu Mu was sometimes lost, glanced at the Duchess of Zhongguo, and then lay on the table to look at the rabbit.
Seeing that her son was not very happy, the Duchess of Zhongguo put down the small box in her hand and said softly, "If you want to do something for the princess, this pearl rice is very good, the size is uniform, and the color is also beautiful."
Hu Mu was sullen and didn't speak.
The Duchess of Chung Kwok said, "But where did this wood-carved rabbit come from? I think you didn't have that."
As she spoke, she took out the little rabbit carved from the small box.
Han Youning looked stunned, took the woodcarved rabbit from the hands of the Duchess of Zhongguo, and held it in the palm of his hand. The rabbit was small, no bigger than an egg, and it nested in Han Youning's palm very well-behaved. :
It was the rabbit that the eldest cousin carved for her that was hidden by the sixth brother, and she almost searched through the garden and the garden without finding it.
Except for the sixth brother, I'm afraid no one can find it.
She looked at Hu Mu, "Where did Shizi find it?"
Hu Mu had already sat up straight, pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, and said, "The little rabbit ran under the bed, I went to catch the rabbit, and I found this."
Han
You Ning looked at him steadily, "I also looked for it under the sixth brother's bed, but I didn't see it."
Hu Mu said, "It's under the bed."
Han Youning got up, pulled him up, and dragged him to the inner room, "You come and point me out, where is the little rabbit under the bed?"
Hu Mu looked down at her hand and let her pull her away.
Walking to the shelf bed, Hu Mu squatted down, groped on the inside of the hoarding under the edge of the bed, and finally settled somewhere, "Here. I crawled under the bed and found a tome here."
Han Youning didn't care about the image, so he crawled on the ground and got under the bed, and there was really a small wooden tray on the inside of the small hoarding. Just enough to fit this little woodcarved rabbit.
It's such a clever place that even if you get under the bed, it's hard to spot the rabbit if you don't look back. But the bottom of the bed was so low, and the body was barely stuck under the bed, and it was not easy to turn back.
How could it be so coincidental that Hu Mu turned back?
She lay under the bed, looked at Hu Mu's face outside the bed, and said in a low voice, "Why is it so coincidental that you found it?"
Hu Mu looked at her quietly, "It happened."
Duchess Zhongguo was frightened by the princess's actions, although she had become acquainted with the prince a lot recently, how could she take his hand.
Reassured, she put down her needle and thread and went into the inner room.
She was stunned that the princess had actually gotten under the bed!
His hips were stuck outside the bed and he couldn't move, but he still twisted his body awkwardly and looked back.
She couldn't help but laugh, after all, she was a sixteen-year-old child, and she didn't care about playing around.
She saw that the princess was talking to the prince under the bed, but she had no intention of coming out, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess, you should come out first, under the bed is not often cleaned, how much ash must be there."
Han Youning squirmed backwards and retreated.
She stood up, her moon-white embroidered dress was dirty, and her snow-white face was stained with ash.
Zhong Guogong shook his head with a smile, hurriedly helped her pat her body, and hurriedly went to the clean room to dip the wet cloth.
Han Youning stared at Hu Mu tightly, "You like ham shortbread, right?"
Hu Mu looked away and didn't say anything.
Duchess Zhongguo came over and helped Han Youning wipe the ashes on her face with a wet handkerchief, "Princess, you better go back and change your clothes first, and then freshen up."
Han Youning didn't move, and continued to ask Hu Mu, "Do you like ham shortbread?"
The lady of the Zhongguo Mansion didn't know what was wrong with the princess, and she didn't mention the ham shortbread again.
When she saw that her son refused to answer, and the princess kept asking and refused to give up, she replied for her son, "The prince doesn't like to eat salty dim sum, but he prefers sweets in comparison."
Han Youning still looked at Hu Mu, waiting for his answer. If he is Hu Mu, why should he be so hesitant?
Hu Mu said, "I don't like it. I don't like ham shortbread."
With that, he walked briskly out of the inner room.
