Chapter 17
Yu Xiang changed a camellia again and again, which made Xiaoqiuer exclaim. She didn't feel wronged when she tricked her into her stomach with a box of pastries. Instead, she stuck to her and refused to leave.
The old lady ordered the Ninth Princess to take the Ninth Princess to contact each family. She was really anxious when she saw her hiding in the corner and refused to move.
The Ninth Princess is introverted and extremely afraid of life. She chose a companion and was not like the princess next to her. She just ordered her to fall in love with her. In order to prevent the noble girls from surrounding her and flattering her, she frightened her. The Queen specially changed her dress with the most ordinary dress.
If there is still a noble girl who is willing to make friends with the Ninth Princess and is loved by the Ninth Princess, this will be considered complete.
The old lady was very excited, but she glanced at Yu Xiang's legs and feet, and then hesitated. This must be the legitimate daughter of the Yongle Marquis' Mansion. She sacrificed herself to save her brother. She had no words in character and was very smart and intelligent. The difficulty lies in her legs. When she entered the palace to study with her daily partner, she was a torture for her.
After that, go back and report it to the Queen and let her make a decision.
At this time, Yu Xiang, who was still ignorant of Xiaoqiuer's identity, was lifting the blanket and letting the other party see his injured leg.
Xiaoqiuer squatted down, slowly stretched out his fingertips, poked it lightly, and was surprised, "It's soft!"
After taking the little broken child, he thought his legs were made of wood, so he couldn't walk! Yu Xiang couldn't laugh or cry, and pinched the tender flesh on her cheeks and said, "Of course it's soft!"
"Then why can't it walk?" The Ninth Princess blinked her big round eyes.
"Did you see it? There were two gems here, which were broken by a bad guy. I had to find the right gem to replace it before I could walk." Yu Xiang pointed at her kneecap and said nonsense. She couldn't explain the principles of medicine to a child of seven or eight years old, and she would definitely get more questions, until she went crazy.
The old lady's mouth twitched. She had never seen such a lady who was good at making up stories before.
Xiao Qiuer was stunned when she heard this, and kept fumbled on Yu Xiang's kneecap, as if she was looking for a miracle. After a while, she stood up, took off the purse on her waist and handed it over, "For you!"
A dark light flashed through the old madam's eyes.
Yu Xiang took the purse and looked around, then chuckled. There were several huge gems inside, jadeite with a full head, colorful tourmaline, crystal clear crystal, and smooth and moist chalcedony, all of which were of great value. This child is so cute!
"Switch it!" Xiaoqiuer poked her arm and urged.
Yu Xiang shook her head, "These gems are not suitable." She reached out to rub the child with a very disappointed expression, with a strong smile in her tone, "But thank you Xiaoqiuer. Don't worry, my brother will help me find the right gems. One day, I will stand up again."
While she said that, she tied her purse back to the child's waist, and glanced at the tight-faced old lady with a smile. What does this person think of her as Yu Xiang? The mess of making up stories to cheat children of money? I think she even had diamonds in her shoes in her previous life, so how could she care about such a thing? It's ridiculous.
The old lady lowered her head and felt very embarrassed. The lady raised by the Yongle Marquis's Mansion was indeed exactly the same as the young Marquis. On the other hand, she had a little nose and eyes that could not be taken out. If the Empress knew about it, she would be so ashamed to die of death.
Xiaoqiuer couldn't see the surging tide between the two. She stroked her purse in disappointment and asked, "How can I get in after I find it?"
"Here, like this." Yu Xiang put a copper coin in the palm of his palm, slapped it at the kneecap, and then spread it out, and the copper coin disappeared.
Xiaoqiuer was stunned for a moment.
Yu Xiang then patted the kneecap, stretched his white palm under her nose, and the copper coins lay on it safely.
Xiaoqiuer took a breath and four big words appeared on her forehead - you are so magical!
Even the knowledgeable old lady was surprised and thought to herself that she could not find someone who was more spiritual than the legitimate lady of the Yongle Marquis' Mansion. Unfortunately, it was a pity...
The prince pointed to Yu Xiang who stuffed the copper coins into his sister's purse and whispered, "It's a pity that your sister!" So smart, cheerful and open-minded, there are many wonderful ideas. If the noble ladies nowadays had fine brushwork, clever and detailed, Yu Xiang would be a splashing ink painting, casual and free and easy, and could accommodate all kinds of rich and unruly colors.
If her legs were intact, how graceful would she be in a few years? The prince shook his head regretfully.
Yu Pinyan's carved face finally showed a hint of pain. He thought: Whoever he owes in this life, he can no longer owe Xiang'er.
Xiaoqiuer had fun and caught Yu Xiang and asked her to continue performing. Fortunately, when the wound healed, his legs gradually lost consciousness, otherwise Yu Xiang would be in great pain at this moment. She patted and changed. On the 23rd time, she finally broke down, pointed to the bright lights not far away, and asked with hope, "Let's go and see the palace lanterns?"
Xiaoqiuer pursed her lips, and a look of panic appeared in her eyes.
Yu Xiang seemed to have some insight. This child is very withdrawn and afraid of having sex. No wonder he is willing to stay in the corner with him. If another child of seven or eight years old would have been out like a monkey.
"Or, let's walk around the path and look at the lights through the scribbling corridor?" She didn't want to pat her kneecap again after being beaten to death. As the saying goes, she shot herself in the foot. Today she took out a copper coin to pat her feet. The nature of the bitterness was the same.
Xiaoqiuer stood on tiptoe and looked. The path was planted with flowers and trees, and there was a veranda that isolated the crowd, which not only kept a little quiet, but also saw the bright lights opposite through the window. It was a good place. She thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
Yu Xiang quickly asked the two little girls to push the wheelchair, and when he turned around, he felt lucky to pat his chest. However, he didn't know that the old lady and the two brothers had already laughed secretly. Such a clever person was eaten by Xiaoqiuer, and it turned out that one thing was something that was inferior to another!
The two walked quietly for a while, but saw a few palace lanterns hanging on the osmanthus tree in front of them. Because the place was too remote, no one noticed it. The two leaned over and admired it seriously for a moment. Yu Xiang shook his head, "This word is not as good as my brother."
"It's not as good as my brother!" Xiao Qiuer nodded seriously.
Yu Xiang glanced at her, pointed to another cup and said, "This painting is not as good as my brother's painting, and the artistic conception is far worse!"
"It's not as good as my brother's drawing! My brother is the best, the top is better!" Xiao Qiuer stretched out a thumb, feeling that it was not enough and then stretched out another one.
"My brother is also the best, it's the best!" Yu Xiang was so mean to her.
"Your brother can't do it!" Xiaoqiuer was a little anxious, and Xiaofa's hand was swaying quickly.
"Your brother can't do it either!" Yu Xiang laughed so hard that he looked proud on his face. The little brat was so funny. Look, his eyes were red, his mouth was stupid, and he couldn't speak.
Xiaoqiuer stumbled for a while and finally said, "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 Xiaoqiuer sucking her little nose, flattening her mouth, showing a cute crying look, she almost burst into laughter.
The old lady glanced at her with sympathy and thought to herself: If this little girl knew that her master's brother was the prince of the current dynasty, she wouldn't know if she would faint.
Yu Xiang was satisfied with his bad taste, and quickly pulled Xiaoqiuer to her side, slutted her head hard, and swearing her in a roar, "Okay, okay, your brother is the best, it's the best! In every sister's heart, his brother is the best. Our brothers are the best!"
Xiaoqiuer thought about it and burst into tears and laughed.
This child is also a brother-in-law. No wonder he is so close to me. Yu Xiang pinched the tip of her red nose and laughed.
Only God knows that the truth of the matter is that a strange aunt is bullying the child to satisfy her bad taste. But in the eyes of others, there are two cute little girls in Yuxue defending her brother. The picture cannot be more warm and cute.
Not to mention that the old madam's harsh face was soft, even the two brothers hiding in the dark wanted to rush up and hug their babies in their arms and love them so much.
The two reconciled as before, and walked around the osmanthus tree and continued to move forward. After a while, they reached the end of the Zhuanzhang veranda. Without the obstruction of brick walls and hollow window lattices, the dim swaying lights and the laughter and playful sounds came to their faces. A phoenix-shaped palace lantern was hung at the highest point of the eaves, and the shell was wrapped in colorful crystals. The base was inlaid with various gems. When the candlelight swayed, it casted a star of colorful light, which was even more gorgeous than the disco ball lamp.
Yu Xiang couldn't help but take a look.
Xiaoqiuer shouted excitedly, "Ah, that's my light! I have to get it back!" She took two steps, saw the crowded crowd in front of her, and slowly stepped back, with a sad expression on her face.
"It's a pity that my brother is not here, otherwise I can help you win." Yu Xiang only thought the child was attracted to the palace lantern, and shook his head with regret.
That is tonight's King of Lanterns, and it can be taken away by someone, provided that it passes the test of the Queen. The test requires two people to complete it together. One person selects several items designated by the palace servants on the temporary terrace and puts them into the box, so that the other person below the stage guesses. The first time is to choose one of two, the second time is to choose one of three, and until the last twelve, he can take the King of Lanterns home.
The value of the Empress’s things is rare in the world. Many people’s eyes are red and they come to the stage one after another, but they all return in a disappointment.
The winning rate for the first time is 50%, the winning rate for the second time is 33%, and the winning rate for the third time is 20%. And you can't make mistakes once. After calculation, the winning rate is less than one hundred thousand, which is as difficult as buying a lottery ticket. Unless the two really have telepathy, or they may bribe the palace maids to cheat, the test will definitely not be passed.
