Yu Xiang changed a camellia back and forth, causing Xiaoqiuer to exclaim again and again, and she didn't feel wronged by letting her cheat into a box of pastries, but insisted on her and refused to leave.
The old mother was ordered to take the nine princesses to meet the noble girls of various families. Seeing her hiding in a corner and refusing to move, she was really anxious.
The Ninth Princess has a withdrawn personality and is extremely shy of others. It is up to the empress to choose a companion who is not like the other princesses, but she has to like it herself. And in order to prevent the ladies from frightening her by frightening her, the empress specially changed her into the most ordinary dress.
If there is a noble girl who is willing to make friends with Princess Nine without knowing where to go, and if she is liked by Princess Nine, this matter will be considered complete.
The old mother's heart was quickened, but she glanced at Yu Xiang's legs and feet, and hesitated again. This must be the concubine daughter of the Marquis of Yongle, she sacrificed her life to save her brother, she has nothing to say about her character, she is also very alert and intelligent, the difficulty lies in her leg, going to the palace to study with her every day is a good job for others, For her, it was a kind of torture.
Forget it, go back and report to the empress, let her make a decision.
At this time, Yu Xiang, who still didn't know anything about Xiao Qiu'er's identity, was lifting the blanket to let the other party see her injured leg.
The little ball squatted down, slowly, slowly stretched out his fingertips, poked lightly, and was surprised, "It's soft!"
Cooperating with this little kid, he thought his legs were made of wood, so he couldn't walk! Yu Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, pinched the tender flesh on her cheek, and said, "Of course it's soft!"
"Then why can't it walk?" Princess Nine blinked her big round eyes.
"Did you see, there were originally two gemstones inside, but they were broken by bad guys. I have to find a suitable gemstone and replace it before I can walk." Yu Xiang tapped her kneecap and made nonsense. She couldn't explain the principles of medicine to a seven or eight-year-old, and she was bound to get more questions until she lost her mind.
The old mammy's mouth twitched. She had never seen such a lady who knew how to make up stories.
The little ball was stunned, and kept groping on Yu Xiang's kneecaps, as if admiring the miracle. After a while, he straightened up, untied the purse from his waist, and handed it over, "Here you are!"
A dark light flashed across the old mama's eyes.
Yu Xiang took the purse and looked through it, then chuckled. There are several huge gemstones inside, including emeralds full of water, colorful tourmalines, crystal clear crystals, and smooth and moist chalcedony, all of which are very valuable. This kid is so cute!
"Change it quickly!" The little ball urged, poking at her arm.
Yu Xiang shook her head, "These gems are not suitable." She stretched out her hand to rub the disappointed child, with a deep smile in her tone, "But thank you, little ball. Don't worry, my brother will find it for me. The right gem, and one day, I'll be back on my feet."
As she spoke, she tied the purse back to the child's waist, and glanced at the tense old mother with a half-smile. What does this person think of her as Yu Xiang? The odds and ends who make up stories to cheat children out of money? It's ridiculous to think that in her previous life, even the shoes she wore were studded with diamonds, so how could she care about such a little thing.
The old mama lowered her head, feeling very embarrassed. The lady brought up by the Yongle Hou Mansion has a graceful demeanor and a forceful demeanor, which is exactly the same as the little Hou Ye. On the other hand, looking at myself, I have a small nose and small eyes, and I can't make a move. If I let my mother know, I would be ashamed to die.
Little Qiu'er couldn't see the turbulent tide between the two of them, stroked his purse in disappointment, and asked, "How can I put it in after I find it?"
"Here, like this." Yu Xiang put a copper coin in the palm of her hand, slapped it on her kneecap, and then spread it out, and the copper coin disappeared.
The little ball stared blankly.
Yu Xiang then patted her kneecap, and stretched out her fair palm to her eyes, and the copper coin lay on it again.
Xiaoqiuer took a deep breath, and four large characters appeared on his forehead - you are amazing!
Even the well-informed old nanny was amazed, thinking that looking at all the ladies in Beijing, she couldn't find a more spiritual person than the concubine lady of Yongle Houfu. What a pity, what a pity...
The prince pointed to Yu Xiang who stuffed the copper coins into his sister's purse, and said in a low voice, "It's a pity for your sister!" She is so smart, bright, open-minded, and full of wonderful ideas. If today's noble ladies are meticulous and delicate paintings, Yu Xiang is a splash-ink painting, which is casual and free and easy, and can accommodate all kinds of rich and uninhibited colors.
If her legs were intact, how graceful would she be in a few years? The prince shook his head regretfully.
Yu Pinyan's sculpted face finally revealed a look of pain. He thought: If I owe anyone in this life, I can never owe Xiang'er any more.
Xiaoqiuer had fun, and grabbed Yu Xiang and asked her to continue performing. Fortunately, when the wound healed, his legs gradually lost feeling, otherwise Yu Xiang would be in utter misery right now. Shooting and shooting, changing and changing, on the twenty-third time, she finally collapsed, pointing to the bright lights not far away, and asked full of hope, "Shall we go see the palace lantern?"
Little Qiu'er pursed her lips, her eyes showed some panic and uneasiness.
Yu Xiang seemed to realize something. This child is very lonely and shy, no wonder he is willing to stay in a corner with him. If it was another seven or eight-year-old child, he would have rushed out like a monkey.
"How about, let's walk along the path and look at the lights across the corridor?" She didn't want to slap her kneecap again. As the saying goes, when you lift a rock to shoot yourself in the foot, she took out a copper coin to slap her in the foot today, the nature of suffering is the same.
The little ball stood on tiptoe and took a look. Both sides of the path are full of flowers and trees, shadowy, and there is a hand-painted veranda to separate the crowd. It not only keeps a little quiet, but also can see the bright lights on the opposite side through the window. It is a good place to go. She thought for a moment, then nodded slowly.
Yu Xiang hurriedly asked the two little girls to push the wheelchair, and when she turned her back, she patted her chest feeling lucky. Little did they know that the old mother and the two elder brothers had already laughed secretly. Such a quick-witted person, but was eaten to death by the little ball, it really is a matter of one thing!
The two walked quietly for a while, but saw a few palace lanterns hung on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of them, because the place was too remote, no one found it. The two leaned over and admired it seriously for a moment, Yu Xiang shook her head, "This word is not as good as my brother's."
"It's not as good as my brother's!" Xiao Qiu'er nodded seriously.
Yu Xiang glanced at her, pointed to the other one and said, "This painting is not as good as my brother's, and the artistic conception is far worse!"
"It's not as good as my brother's drawing! My brother is the best, very good!" Little Qiu'er stretched out a thumb, and when he felt that it was not enough, he extended another one.
"My brother is also the best, very good!" Yu Xiang told her wickedly.
"Your brother can't do it!" Little Qiu'er was a little anxious, and Xiaopang moved his hands quickly.
"Your brother can't either!" Yu Xiang laughed so hard in her heart, but she had a proud expression on her face. This little kid is so funny to tease, look, his eyes are red with anger, his mouth is stupid, and he can't speak.
Xiao Qiuer muttered for a while, and finally choked out a sentence, "Your brother, your brother is not as good as my brother!"
"Your brother is not as good as my brother!" Yu Xiang quickly retorted, seeing Xiao Qiu'er sucking her small nose, flattening her small mouth, showing a cute crying face, she almost burst out of laughter.
The old mother glanced at her sympathetically, and thought to herself: If this little girl knows that the master's elder brother is the current crown prince, she might faint from fright.
Satisfied with Yu Xiang's bad taste, she quickly pulled the little ball to her side, hushed her head vigorously, and coaxed her in a good voice, "Well, well, well, your brother is the best, very good! In every sister's heart , my brother is the best. Both of our brothers are the best!"
Little Qiu'er thought about it, and laughed through tears.
This kid is also a brother-controller, no wonder I hit it off so much. Yu Xiang pinched the tip of her reddened nose, and smiled too.
Only God knows that the truth of the matter is that a strange aunt is bullying the children to satisfy her own evil taste. But in the eyes of others, it was the two cute little girls Yuxue who were defending their elder brother. The picture could not be more warm and lovely.
Not to mention that the harsh face of the old mother softened, even the two elder brothers who were hiding in the dark, wished they could rush up and hug their baby in their arms so that they could love them.
The two reconciled as before, walked around the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and in a short while came to the end of the Chaoshou corridor. Without the cover of brick walls and hollowed-out window lattices, the dim flickering lights and the sound of laughing and playing came rushing towards us. A palace lantern in the shape of a phoenix hangs on the highest part of the eaves. The shell is wrapped in colorful crystals, and the base is inlaid with various gemstones. The candlelight sways and casts colorful light, which is more gorgeous than disco ball lights.
Yu Xiang couldn't help but take a second look.
Little Qiu'er shouted excitedly, "Ah, that's my lamp! I have to get it back!" She took two steps, saw the crowd in front of her, and backed away slowly, with a sad expression on her little face .
"It's a pity that my brother isn't here, otherwise I can help you win." Yu Xiang only thought that the child was attracted to the palace lantern, and shook her head regretfully.
That is tonight's Lantern King, and it can be taken away by someone, provided that they pass the test of the empress. The test requires two people to complete it together. On the temporary terrace, one person selects one of the items designated by the palace staff and puts one into the box, and asks the other person in the audience to guess. The first time is to choose one of two, the second time is to choose one of three, and in the last twelve to choose one, only if you guess correctly every time can you bring the Lantern King home.
There is no doubt about the value of the queen's stuff, it must be rare in the world. Many people's eyes were red, and they rushed to the stage one after another, but they all returned in defeat.
The winning rate was 50% for the first time, 33% for the second time, and 20% for the third time... and they couldn't make a mistake even once. After all, the winning rate was less than 100,000 points One, its difficulty is comparable to buying a lottery ticket. Unless the two of them really have telepathy, or bribe the palace man to cheat, otherwise this test will definitely not pass.
The empress is trying to prevent people from taking the palace lantern away, she's a little stingy! After Yu Xiang understood it, she couldn't help but slander her.
