Yu Pinyan went to the military camp and only returned home once in half a month, which made Yu Xiang very anxious and had to dig out a few Buddhist scriptures to read. She is a person with wisdom roots, but she has a common heart. She has fallen into the same Avii Hell in two lifetimes, but she never tries to break free, and falls deeper and deeper.
Just after finishing her morning class that day, a Shang Gong personally came to pick her up to meet the Ninth Princess.
Getting along with innocent children is the most relaxing and enjoyable. Yu Xiang suppressed her worries and got into the carriage.
Although the ninth princess is eight years old, she still lives with the queen, occupying a large courtyard on the west side of Changle Palace. Yu Xiang greeted the queen, and was carried in by two old nuns with a wheelchair.
The companion of the Nine Princesses has already been settled. It is Fan Jiaojiao, the daughter of General Zhen Guo. Although the name is nice, she is a silly little tiger girl. , although she has just turned seven years old, she is taller than Yu Xiang, and with her dark skin and big bright eyes, she still has a bit of aura when she stares at people.
Of course, such a paper tiger would frighten ordinary children, but Yu Xiang was not afraid, and treated the little girl submissively when she came back for the first time, still lamenting the empress's eyes on people. Although the reason for finding a fool is to prevent the ball from being restrained by the companion, but you can't find such a fool, right? When two people get together, they can only form four characters—the sky is broken and the earth is missing.
At this moment, heaven and earth saw her and fleshy bones, and ran over, grabbing her hand and pulling it on the soft couch. The two nuns hurriedly pushed the wheelchair forward, took off Yu Xiang's shoes and carried her up.
The three talked for a while, the nine princesses looked around, and saw that the palace servants all lowered their heads, then they took out a wooden box from behind the pillow, opened the lid and brought it under Yu Xiang's eyes, whispering, "Here you are, this is Xue Linglong, it's delicious."
Yu Xiang took a closer look, but there were two donkeys rolling, with a layer of white frosting sprinkled on the outside, round and powdery, very cute. Yu Xiang picked up one and put it in his mouth to chew, and glanced at Huniu who was secretly swallowing her saliva amusedly.
"Is it delicious?" Princess Nine asked expectantly.
"Delicious." Biting off the soft and glutinous skin, the fragrant red bean juice immediately flowed out. The taste was too sweet for others, but it was just right for Yu Xiang. Like the nine princesses, she is also a sweet lover.
Princess Jiu smiled contentedly, "I knew you would like it. I bought this with a bag of gems. There were six of them. I ate two, Jiaojiao ate two, and left two for you." .”
Yu Xiang was swallowing, and almost choked to death after hearing these words, she quickly waved to the palace man standing aside, her eyes almost rolled away. What stuffed donkey rolls are worth a bag of gems
The palace man hurriedly brought a glass of water and fed her to drink it.
Nanny Jin, who raised the Ninth Princess, stepped forward and patted her on the back, but she was thinking about what she said just now. Who on earth is so bold that he dares to cheat the Ninth Princess with a few donkeys? Because the princesses are not allowed to accompany the palace servants when they are in class, they are only allowed to take their companions to read. The nine princesses don't talk about the things in the school, and Jin Nanny has no way of knowing.
Yu Xiang stretched her neck, finally swallowed the donkey rolling, and asked anxiously, "Did you really trade a bag of gems for six donkey rolling?"
Ninth Princess blinked her big eyes, looking extremely innocent.
Yu Xiang covered her face and moaned, then took out a piece of silver the size of a fingernail from her purse, and said, "See, you can buy fifty Xue Linglong with such a small amount of silver, and it's not called Xue Linglong at all, it's called a donkey." Rolling around. It is a snack that can be seen everywhere outside, and the price is very cheap. Silly girl, you have been cheated!"
She looked at Hu Niu and asked, "Have you never seen this thing?"
Hu Niu cautiously shook her head, she was so big, she insisted on hiding behind the Ninth Princess, hiding her head and showing her tail, her appearance was very funny. It was strange to say that she was not afraid of Princess Nine, but was afraid of Yu Xiang who died only three or five days ago.
This child looks rough, but he is also from a family background. He is usually rich and precious, so how can he eat something like donkey rolling. Yu Xiang helplessly supported her forehead and asked, "Who exchanged it with you?"
"It's Deng Caiming, the companion of the Seventh Princess." Hu Niu poked out half of her head timidly.
The ninth princess was slow to react, and only now did she realize that she was at a disadvantage, and asked with a straight mouth, "How much snow can a bag of gems be exchanged for, that donkey is rolling?"
"It's enough to bury you, I can't finish it in a lifetime!" Yu Xiang tapped her forehead, rather hating iron and steel, "What can I change, you are a princess, she is a little companion, you like her The pastry is here, so why give her gems?"
"She, she refuses." Ninth Princess was aggrieved.
"If she refuses, just whip her! You have the world's most powerful father, the world's most powerful mother, and the world's most powerful brother. What can you not get? Next time you see her, you will beat her hard. The ninth princess wants to eat her pastries, but she still pushes back and forth, so ignorant of flattery!" When she became emotional, a few dirty words popped out of her mouth, and Yu Xiang stroked her lips in embarrassment, seeing that the two children didn't hear it, and she Staring at himself with adoring eyes, he naturally lowered his hand.
Nanny Jin covered her mouth and suppressed a smile.
Princess Jiu thought for a moment, then shook her head in embarrassment, "This is not good, it will be annoying like that Princess Qinghe."
"That can't be the same. Princess Qinghe robs you, that's presumptuous, violates the rules, and offends you. If you rob others, it's called a gift, to reward face, to give her face. You are a princess, and she is a companion, how can it be the same. "Yu Xiang instilled the law of the jungle into the child's head. As for how to defeat the strong with the weak, how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, etc., she has been teaching it for ten thousand years, so it is estimated that this child will not be able to learn it.
Even though Fan Jiaojiao is a general's tiger girl, she is also a naive person, she murmured, "If you just smoke when you go up, sir will scold you."
"Stupid, just find an excuse." Yu Xiang nodded between her eyebrows.
"How to find a reason?" The two children asked shamelessly.
Yu Xiang was about to start his thick black school education, but he hesitated again when he caught a glimpse of Nanny Jin standing beside the couch. It doesn't seem too good to dye two pure white children into briquettes, right? The Empress has hired Hu Niu as her reading companion, isn't it because she is afraid that the little ball will fail in her studies
With this change in her mind, she immediately suppressed her full of intrigues and said, "Finding excuses is a technical job. You are too young to do it. Forget it, just ignore her next time. My brother is not at home recently, and I I have to go back to chant scriptures with my ancestors, so I’m leaving now.” After only a short while away from home, she was very flustered, which was not a good sign.
The two children reluctantly sent her to the door.
Yu Xiang rolled her eyes, and beckoned to Princess Ninth, "When you have dinner with Empress Dowager, remember to ask her for a box of jewels."
"Why?" Princess Nine tilted her head.
"Just tell the empress that you want to change some donkeys tomorrow, remember?" After much deliberation, the method of 'reporting blackmail' is the most suitable for Xiaoqiuer.
"remember."
The Nine Princesses will always do what they promise, unlike other people who are full of crooked intestines. Yu Xiang was relieved now, and waved goodbye to the two of them. Nanny Jin was very enthusiastic this time, and personally sent her to the gate of the palace, not forgetting to ask her when she would come again.
In the side hall of Yongle Palace, the emperor and empress and the nine princesses are having dinner. The Ninth Princess eats everything deliciously, and she doesn't forget to give her father and queen mother any good things. The innocent and childish words made the two of them chuckle.
After eating 70% full, the ninth princess rinsed her mouth with green tea, and looked at the queen eagerly, "Queen, can you give me a box of jewels?"
"Didn't I just give you a box yesterday?" The queen pinched her nose.
"Let me exchange the lotus seed cake for the donkey to eat." Ninth Princess honestly confessed.
Standing behind her, Nanny Jin had a very delicate expression. If Yu Xiang was here, she would probably have knelt down to the Ninth Princess.
The queen's eyes were slightly cold, and even the emperor turned to look at it, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the lotus seed cake? You were asked to exchange a box of jewels for donkey roll. Is this donkey roll stuffed with dragon liver or phoenix marrow? "Although donkey rolling is a market snack, it is also considered a famous spot in the capital. The emperor and empress had eaten quite a lot when they were in white clothes, and they knew that four or five copper coins could buy a large bag of this thing.
The emperor sits on top of the world and stands aloof. He would never see anyone offending his authority. Lying to his daughter was no different than lying to him.
The queen said flatly, "The lotus seed cake is Yi Feng's younger sister, the younger sister who lost both legs to save him."
"How could it be her?" The emperor frowned, somewhat surprised. He had heard about Yu Xiang risking his life to save his brother, and he had a very good impression of her.
Seeing that Yu Xiang was about to be cheated to death by her master, Nanny Jin finally couldn't hold back, knelt down at the table and respectfully said, "I dare to interject, this is how it is..."
She recounted the conversations of the children in their entirety, only omitting Yu Xiang's dirty words.
Only then did the emperor and the empress suddenly realize that they couldn't help laughing, especially the two passages of "the most powerful father and mother in the world" and "different from Princess Qinghe". Say hello again and again.
The queen was a little more reserved, but she also burst into tears.
"It turns out that's the case, but we misunderstood it." The emperor tapped the ignorant Princess Ninth with his fingertips, and scolded, "You silly girl, why are you so greedy! What you said about the lotus seed cake is right, what do you want in the future? Just grab it. No matter how arrogant and domineering my daughter is, I can't overdo it."
Ninth Princess didn't understand, but nodded seriously.
The emperor couldn't help poking her again, and then he hugged her into his arms and rubbed her. His little Jiu'er is the purest and simplest, so he is always worried. With so many sons and daughters, in fact the youngest Jiu'er is his treasure, and even the prince who was brought up by himself has to retreat.
Ninth Princess rubbed her father's chest affectionately.
While pinching her fleshy cheeks, the emperor looked at the queen and complained, "I think this lotus seed cake is very good. You picked it here and there, but you picked the girl from Fan Dabao's family. The two of them got together Son, it’s just being fooled! It’s not a big deal to have inconvenient legs and feet.”
The queen sighed helplessly, "Fan Jiaojiao was picked by the ball, and the concubine can't do anything about it. The concubine also took a fancy to that girl, who knows that there is something wrong with her background..." Then she revealed Yu Xiang's life experience.
"It's amazing that my own child can hug the wrong one too." The emperor raised his eyebrows.
The queen laughed and said, "The two families squeezed into a cave and gave birth at the same time. In addition, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and bandits are rampant. It is inevitable that a mistake will happen. I don't know when the child will be found. I can't hide it when I find it." Two said, the ministers and concubines thought it over and over again, so they gave up."
The emperor waved his hand disapprovingly, "I think this child is very good. He is smart, cunning, but straightforward and doesn't go around in circles. I can rest assured that he is by Qiu'er's side. It doesn't matter whether he is born or not. Whoever I want to be noble, he will be I am superior to others; whoever I want to be humble, he will be lowered into the dust, just at the moment of my thought. She is very good, let her enter the palace to accompany her to study, so as not to keep my balls being fooled by others. Besides, Yi Feng is not going to day He is about to go to war, and his sister is just a good way to reassure his heart."
The queen thought for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled, "The emperor is right, it's the concubine who is acting like a concubine. We can promote whoever we like, and we really don't have to worry so much."
