3 min read708 words
However, Zhu Xiurong is a distant relative of the empress's maternal
grandfather's family. This alone is indeed better than others.
The princesses pulled Cai Cai and told her to play in the harem, but Cai Cai
was worried about her mother and said that she was feeling unwell recently and
she wanted to go back and watch. The princesses had to let her go.
"You, don't always play with Cai Cai." Qian'er said to her younger sister. "It
is not easy for Cai Cai to live outside with Aunt Hong. Aunt Hong has been in
a bad shape all this time. How can she Just mess around all day like you."
The toddler smiled and said, "I know."
She walked fast, her skirt flying up, and she looked lively like a dancing
butterfly.
At this time, a voice came from behind: "His Royal Highness, your things have
fallen out——"
The sisters turned their heads at the same time and saw a boy in a green shirt
holding a blue veil in his hands.
"Hey, it's mine." The toddler said, turning around and walking back, took the
kerchief, and looked at the boy. "Whose child are you, you look familiar."
The teenager pursed his lips and smiled.
The child hummed: "What are you laughing at, don't I have the right to ask you
if you can't make it?"
"No, the second princess has misunderstood. I have seen the princess many
times, and Xu is the princess and noble lady who forgets too much and doesn't
remember me."
Qian'er came over and smiled: "Child, your memory is really bad. You don't
even know him? He is the son of Aunt Xuan, Mingcheng."
The toddler screamed, and when he looked carefully, he remembered.
She smiled and said, "It seems that I haven't seen you in a long time."
"Yes, it has been for several years." Qian'er smiled. "In the past few years,
there have been banquets in the palace, and Aunt Xuan seems to rarely bring
him here."
Mingcheng smiled and said, "In fact, this is my first time attending a banquet
in the palace."
"Really?" The child was about to ask, but Qianer pulled his sleeve to stop it.
This Mingcheng's life experience has always been somewhat sensitive.
He grew up in the Hou Mansion for many years, and he hardly went out.
When the princesses went to the Hou Mansion, they were accompanied by Ming
Wuji and Wuhen. They rarely saw him, so the children almost forgot what he
looked like.
The child smiled and said, "Thank you for picking up my things. Last time I
saw it was a child, but now it is an older child. He looks pretty pretty."
Qian'er smiled and said, "How much older you can be than others, you only have
one child per mouth."
"A big day is also big."
"The second princess said that." Mingcheng smiled. "If the princesses have no
other orders, Mingcheng will leave."
He turned around.
With sharp eyes, the child found a delicate scimitar pinned to his waistband,
and hurriedly said: "Hey, what kind of knife are you? It looks strange and
unique."
Mingcheng reached out and took the machete off, handed it to her, and said, "I
bought it from an antique shop. It is said to be an ancient weapon. It is
extremely rare."
The toddler pulls out the scabbard and strokes the simple patterns on it,
loving it.
"Do you like weapons too?" she asked.
"Yes it is."
"It's pretty good." The child waved a few times, and there was a vague sound
of dragons breaking through the air, surprised and happy, "It really is a good
knife."
Mingcheng smiled and watched her movements, and said: "If the second princess
likes it, give this knife to the princess to play."
The child waved his hand: "No. The queen said that a gentleman does not take
advantage of others. This is your beloved thing, and I will give it back to
you."
She returned the scimitar to Mingcheng.
Mingcheng smiled and said, "No matter how good it is, it's just a knife. If
the princess likes it, I also have several ancient weapons in my collection. I
will have a chance to show you later."
