Chapter 191 Yixiu 60
Chapter 191 Yixiu 60
Although Zhen Huan didn't say it, she was secretly comparing them in her heart. They were both people with deep feelings for each other and they were both fathers.
If Prince Dun's daughter was to be sent to marry a foreign prince, she would be a sixty-year-old man.
I'm afraid this couple will not let it go.
"My lady, do you want to hang it up?"
"No, put it away carefully and have someone take good care of it."
Thinking of her relationship with the emperor, Zhen Huan lost her admiring mood. She stood up and sat back in front of the window, picked up the book on the table and started reading.
The current life is good enough, and people should be content.
For some reason, Zhen Huan always felt uneasy, but she couldn't find anything to worry about.
On the steps of Yonghe Palace, Wen Yizhen and Tuanzi sat side by side, each one of them happily chewing apples.
As the child grew up, Shuhe began to take Wen Yi to the East Six Palaces frequently, where there were three younger sisters and a huge dumpling.
No one would dislike the round-headed, gentle Dumpling.
Because the sisters were all a little afraid of Mo Ying, Wen Yi had to reluctantly abandon her little friend and only play with Mo Ying when she was alone.
"Wen Yi, wait a moment, my sister will be out soon."
Shen Meizhuang wiped the juice from the corner of Wen Yi's mouth with a handkerchief. She had just been captured by Tuanzi not long ago.
She was really scared when she saw such a big ball for the first time. She remembered it was just a little baby, but in the blink of an eye it had grown into a bear much bigger than a human.
Being of similar age, Wen Yi is just a tiny kid in front of it.
Tuanzi was very smart. He imitated Wen Yi's posture and sat obediently on the steps. Wen Yi seemed tired from eating. He took a long breath and leaned his head on Tuanzi.
She tilted her head back and let Shen Meizhuang wipe her mouth. "Thank you, Madam Hui, for your concern. Wen Yi, don't worry. Sister Shuhe said she'll be here later. I'll wait here."
Shen Meizhuang's heart melted when she saw the babyish voice and appearance.
After becoming a mother, she has no resistance to cute children.
Wen Yi touched her belly with one hand and gently rubbed Tuanzi's belly with the other hand.
After a while, Shuhe finished her homework and rushed over. She was sitting next to Wen Yi, sipping honey water.
The palace maids serving around were used to this, and no one taught them that as a princess, she should not sit on the steps or be so close to an animal.
In the early years, there was a nanny who relied on her status as a wet nurse to control the princess's words and deeds. After being discovered, she was directly sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shen Meizhuang was chatting with them here, and Caiyue was watching the palace servants arranging the newly delivered chrysanthemums in the greenhouse not far away.
Soon, Yonghe Palace became lively. An Lingrong and Xia Dongchun were the first to arrive with Yu An.
"I've waited for you all, and today I'm going to take advantage of my sister again."
"Sister, you're joking. It's a compliment to me that my sisters like my things."
Without waiting for them to greet, Shen Meizhuang greeted them with a smile. After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu An who was being held in her arms, and reached out her hand to gently touch the baby's fair face a few times.
"Our Yu'an is so well behaved. Look at the red mole between his eyebrows. He looks just like a boy under a fairy's seat."
"Empress Hui, look, isn't the color much brighter than before?" Xia Dongchun eagerly shared her discovery.
A cinnabar mole between the eyebrows has always represented good luck, but when Yu An was born, the mole was very light in color. Xia Dongchun now hopes that everyone will praise him and say, "Yu An will have a smooth life in the future."
Shen Meizhuang took a closer look and said, "Yes, this is a good omen."
"Thank you for your kind words, sister. I just hope that all the princesses are safe." An Lingrong looked at her daughter lovingly. She was already used to Xia Dongchun's questions like this.
She even went to ask the Queen.
An Lingrong was very touched. Her daughter would be very happy and many people would love her.
After entering the palace, my mother had a better life and her own daughter. This was the greatest luck for her.
Little Yu'an was not shy when surrounded by people. He smiled and reached out to touch the tassels in Shen Meizhuang's hair.
Jinghe couldn't hold back any longer when she saw her sister, and started babbling beside her.
An Lingrong smiled and signaled the wet nurse to take the princess over so that they could play together. Then she turned around and followed Shen Meiyu to the tree.
The palace servants following behind him were holding boxes of various sizes.
"Sister said last time that she likes more elegant colors. I brought several materials today. Sister can pick the one she likes."
"Thank you for taking the trouble to think of me, sister."
Baojuan walked forward and opened the small boxes one by one and placed them on the table. Looking at the large number of decorations, Shen Meizhuang was also a little surprised.
On the other side, a few children were having fun, and their childish laughter echoed in the yard.
Yu'an and Jinghe were still unable to walk steadily, so their wet nurse put them in a special stroller and let them run around everywhere. They clapped their hands excitedly when they saw their sisters playing.
"Wow~ Sister, hurry up!"
Tuanzi is more patient with the cubs. He is used to this way of playing and does his duty as a guardian. He does not allow the palace servants in front of him to catch the cubs behind him.
The huge body strolling leisurely in the open space is enough to protect people tightly.
The squeaking cubs behind it make it look more stable and reliable.
"Ah! Tuantuan~"
It has long been accustomed to the children's calls and knows its own name.
Shuhe started to have her own homework and had limited time to play every day, so she especially cherished the time she spent with her younger sisters.
Take Wen Yi with you to fully release your nature.
It was rare for Shen Meizhuang's place to be so lively, and soon Zhen Huan also arrived.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw such a lively scene.
"Sister, it's so lively here!"
Zhen Huan approached and took a look. She was also attracted by the things on the table. The small porcelain jar was filled with glittering silver powder, tiny gems of various colors, and flowers made of thinly sliced shells...
"Huan'er, come quickly and see the wonderful things Lingrong has made."
Not many concubines in the harem dye their nails. They usually just trim their nails, and most of them wear nail guards.
However, it is not appropriate to keep long nails after having children, as you may hurt the child if you are not careful.
An Lingrong likes to try all kinds of new things in her spare time. At Xia Dongchun's strong suggestion, she used gelatin mixed with shell fragments to lightly decorate her nails.
Shen Meizhuang became interested after seeing it.
But she didn't expect that An Lingrong had figured out so many tricks in just a few days.
"Sister Wanpin, take a look, isn't she pretty?"
Xia Dongchun proudly stretched out her hand to let Zhen Huan see her nails. Unlike other people who preferred simple and elegant nails, she liked these rich and gorgeous styles.
Zhen Huan held Xia Dongchun's hand and looked at her carefully. The Impatiens had left a light color after being dyed.
Silver powder delicately outlines a few peach blossoms, and with broken gems at the center of the flowers, the fingertips are filled with infinite vitality, which seems too fancy at first glance.
But it suits Xia Dongchun very well. She has a smug and bright smile on her face, which makes people feel that it is never too much to be flamboyant.
"The peach tree is young and lush, its flowers are dazzling. It turns out that my sister has good taste in beauty."
"Right, Lingrong and I came up with this idea together. We tried several different materials before we achieved this effect. Sister Wan, come and try it too."
The Xia Dongchun in front of her was completely different from the arrogant one when they first met. Yu'an's birth also made her a little more gentle. A hint of envy flashed across Zhen Huan's eyes.
Although she was born beautiful, she was not liked by the emperor. Even so, Xia Dongchun lived a very unrestrained life.
No...I'm happier than most people in the palace.
She did not worry about the emperor's mood today, whether he would fall out of favor, nor did she think there was anything wrong with her love of fine clothes and jewelry.
She was doing what she liked, even if the emperor thought these were superficial and vulgar behaviors.
"Okay, let me see~"
Zhen Huan was led to sit aside and looked at the things in front of her and thought seriously.
The palace maids brought by An Lingrong were already waiting there. They had undergone rigorous training and could achieve whatever effect their masters wanted.
The autumn sun is shining brightly, and the trees above are full of red persimmons.
A few of them were lying here chatting idly. An Lingrong felt the itch in her fingers and stared at the fruit with her head tilted back.
"What do you think...if all the fruits on this tree suddenly fall down, will they hit us on the head?"
The other three people tilted their heads and stared at An Lingrong with disbelief.
Although they occasionally have strange ideas, who would say them out loud?
An Lingrong shuddered when she was stared at, and quickly tried to make amends when she saw their unfriendly looks.
She patted her lips lightly a few times, stretched out her arm and touched the tree trunk beside her, "God, please don't blame me."
"Lingrong, you're already my mother, how could you forget about something like avoiding prophecies?"
"My fault, it was a slip of the tongue. I was just looking at the persimmons on the tree and suddenly thought of the persimmons back home. They look completely different. I wonder what they taste like."
"That's not difficult. I'll have someone pick some and send them to you later."
Shen Meizhuang looked up. It was the first time she saw persimmons growing on a tree.
What we saw before has already been made into snacks.
It was for this reason that she specifically asked someone to keep all the fruits from the tree, hoping that she and her daughter would be blessed with good fortune in the future.
Spring sleepiness, autumn lack, summer doze, winter and March when I can't sleep.
In her ears was the sound of Zhen Huan and others discussing poetry and books, which Xia Dongchun didn't like. Not far away, Tuanzi was bleating and trying to grab Wen Yi's collar.
The palace maids were gently removing the original glue from Xia Dongchun's nails, preparing to put on new patterns.
In such an environment, she couldn't help but feel drowsy and fell asleep with her head tilted.
Before he lost consciousness, he was still thinking that Tuanzi was old enough and it was time for him to have his own cubs.
When Shen Meizhuang turned around, she saw that Xia Dongchun had fallen asleep. She lowered her voice and signaled Caiyue to get a blanket.
"What was Xia Changzai doing last night? She's so sleepy."
An Lingrong covered her lips and smiled, "I got some new material from the Empress's palace yesterday. I'm sure she spent half the night pondering it."
"Xia Chang's life here is not much different from that at home."
"Who says it's not? It's very comfortable."
Xia Dongchun is a person who acts on his own accord. After waking up, his mind is full of finding a partner for Tuanzi.
She first looked for Fu Cha Yi Xin, but the other party obviously didn't have time to care about so many things.
"If Sister Xia is willing, please handle it yourself. You can see that Yongning is not in good health, and I really can't spare the energy to do it."
Fu Cha Yixin looked a little haggard. This daughter was born from her medication. Not only did she suffer during pregnancy, but she also often fell ill after the child was born.
Looking at her skinny little daughter, Fu Cha Yixin didn't care about competing for favor or complaining, and just took good care of the child.
As for Tuanzi, there are many concubines in the palace who pay attention to her, so there is no need to worry about her at all.
"Okay, the princess's business is more important. I feel relieved with your words."
Xia Dongchun also knew the situation in the Yanx Palace, and after getting permission, she wanted to ask the Queen for help.
After being mentioned by Xia Dongchun, Yixiu also thought of Tuanzi's age. If she could have a little panda, and soft and sticky sesame dumplings... she couldn't imagine how cute it would be.
She immediately agreed, "When next spring comes, I will send someone to take Tuanzi back to Sichuan. Whether there are cubs or not, they will be brought back then."
Hearing that Tuanzi would be away from the capital for such a long time, Xia Dongchun felt a little reluctant, and she twirled the handkerchief in her hand.
"Empress, can't we send someone to find a few more male bears and bring them back to the capital?"
"Tuanzi has never left the capital, and he has no mother to teach him how to hunt. What if he gets bullied by a wild bear when he returns to the mountains?"
Yixiu glanced at her sideways, wondering where such a thick filter came from.
Tuanzi's current physique, sharp claws and fangs, made him not afraid at all even when surrounded by unfamiliar guards, and there were also deep marks on the tree.
No one who sees this would think that Tuanzi is a bear that is easy to bully.
With the help of medicine, Tuanzi's strength and IQ are the ceiling of the animal world, and no one can hurt it.
"Years ago, I personally issued an order prohibiting the arbitrary capture of pandas. Do you want me to slap myself in the face?"
"Look at Tuanzi. It would take countless lives to capture a male bear that matches him. And you want more? What are you thinking?"
Xia Dongchun hadn't been scolded for a long time, so the sound seemed familiar to him.
She lowered her head and admitted her mistake. "I was stupid and didn't think of this. Please don't be angry, Queen. It's all my fault."
"You've been watching Tuanzi since she entered the palace. It's normal for you to be worried. Believe that Tuanzi is very smart and will come looking for her after spring."
"When the time comes, just have the people who have been following it all year round wait outside."
Seeing that she still didn't speak, Yixiu asked in confusion: "Any other questions?"
"Your Majesty! Can I go with you?"
"what?"
Yixiu leaned forward, almost thinking she had misheard.
Xia Dongchun thought the queen was angry, so she stood up and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty, I know this request is very presumptuous."
Her curled hands were trembling slightly. It was a rare experience for Xia Dongchun to express her thoughts to the master of the harem for the first time.
But she wanted to give it a try, she wanted to see where Tuanzi was born.
If Tuanzi goes back to the mountains and never comes back, at least I have given it a ride.
Yes, Xia Dongchun didn’t believe what Yixiu said.
There are also experts in serving animals in the palace. Xia Dongchun naturally knows the various abnormalities that animals will experience in spring. This is the bear life that Tuanzi needs to experience.
Xia Dongchun couldn't guarantee that a wild beast would come back to find him.
