Chapter 18: Just Playing
On the fourth day of May, Zhuiyun was ordered to return to Yanhuai. He had been sent to Northern Xinjiang before, but now that he came back, he was naturally warmly welcomed by everyone, especially Yuan Yuan.
"Wow! Zhuiyun, this rotating lantern is so beautiful! Is it for me?" The little girl looked at the revolving lantern without turning, her eyes full of expectation.
Zhui Yun is Zhui Feng's twin brother. Although his face is the same as Zhui Feng's, his cold and calm temperament is completely different from that of Zhui Feng. If they weren't deliberately disguised, the two of them would be easy to identify.
"Yes, His Highness ordered his subordinates to bring this for Miss Xinxin. Miss Xinxin can take it to enjoy." Zhuiyun is not as glib as Zhui Feng, who can coax children. Yanhuai does whatever he asks, and never does.
Will ask more nonsense.
Yuan Yuan heard what he wanted to hear, and happily picked up the revolving lantern and flipped it up, down, left, and right. Children are always enthusiastic about novel things. He took the revolving lantern and trotted to Yanhuai's study to show him his new things.
Toy.
"Yan Shenzhi, look, this lantern is so beautiful! I'm going to go out to the night market with my big lantern tomorrow. My big lantern must be the most beautiful among those lanterns!" The little girl is like a peacock with its tail spread.
She was so proud that she didn't take Zhuiyun's words to heart at all, because she always picked out what she wanted to hear.
Yan Huai would not dampen her interest, so he responded, "Well, it's up to you." After saying that, he continued to read the book in his hand, and his perfunctory tone was visible to the naked eye.
She was not annoyed when she saw that he had no time to take care of her. Yan Shenzhi was busy every day anyway, so she could just go and play with Qingyi Xiaodezi and Zhui Feng.
In the familiar back garden, at Yuan Yuan's command, Zhui Feng ran ahead with a revolving lantern, and the little girl and Qing Yi followed behind. Xiao Dezi roasted chicken wings for the little girl under the command of Hua Yuchu.
The back garden was filled with the clear laughter of the little girl, as well as Zhui Feng's threatening sounds and Qing Yi's warnings. Xiao Dezi placed the roasted chicken wings one by one on the porcelain plate, and carefully placed them on the golden and fragrant leather surface.
Sprinkle on the seasonings, everything is ready, and shout to the still crazy little ancestor, "Miss Xinxin, the chicken wings are ready!"
Not caring about the answer, Yuan Yuan turned around and headed straight in the direction of Xiao Dezi. Upon seeing this, Zhui Feng immediately used Qinggong to cheat and get ahead of Yuan Yuan.
"Ouch! Stinky Zhui Feng! Don't touch my chicken wings!" Yuan Yuan followed with a hum, and then he didn't even bother to wash his hands, so he grabbed the chicken wings and began to chew on them.
"Yeah, yeah, it's delicious! Grandpa Hua's food is the most delicious!"
While the little girl was eating with a satisfied look on her face, she did not forget to praise Chef Hua's cooking skills. Her bulging little face and bright eyes looked so cute no matter how cute she looked.
Hua Yuchu has been working as an imperial cook in the palace for most of his life and has received countless praises. However, this is the first time that he has seen a little girl who cares about his craftsmanship every day. Moreover, the little girl is so pretty that she is very fond of her.
Unconsciously, I felt a little more loving.
"As long as Miss Xinxin likes it, eat more. If you don't have enough, grandpa will bake it for you."
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded contentedly.
Yan Huai supported Queen Wen and arrived at the back garden at some unknown time. Everyone immediately saluted and said hello, "I have met the Queen and His Royal Highness."
"Get back on your feet." Queen Wen said warmly, and then caught the original wish that was jumping towards her.
"Aunt~" Yuan Yuan happily nuzzled and nuzzled in Queen Wen's arms like a piglet, with a look of dependence on her face.
"Xinxin, eat the chicken wings quickly. They won't taste good when it gets cold." Empress Wen lovingly folded her sleeves for her, picked up the chicken wings on the porcelain plate and carefully fed her to Yuan Yuan.
Satisfied, he ate two more fresh and tender chicken wings before Yuan Yuan stopped. Then he wiped his mouth, washed his face and washed his hands under the service of Qing Yi. After that, he was led by Queen Wen to the main hall.
"Auntie, I wanted to go and play with you, but Yan Shenzhi said you were very busy and told me not to run around."
As soon as the little girl sat down, she started babbling, mainly to express her longing for Queen Wen, and to cheat Yanhuai. The central idea was that I miss my aunt very much, but Yan Shenzhi wouldn't let me go to you.
, but it’s not that I won’t go.
Queen Wen picked up the tea cup and poured a cup of warm water. She fed the little girl half a cup and then touched the top of her hair and said, "Auntie misses Xinxin too. Auntie is already done with her work. Xinxin can come to see auntie at any time."
Play."
"Okay~" Yuan Yuan responded with a sweet voice, then picked up the cup and drank the remaining half cup of water.
"Xinxin, the beautiful clothes that aunt asked grandma to make for you are ready. Can Xinxin follow Qingyi and try them on?"
"I want my aunt to accompany me, and I will show my heart to my aunt." After the little girl said this, she pulled Queen Wen to her bedroom without waiting for her reaction. The three men in green clothes picking mulberries and chrysanthemums hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the little girl had returned to the dormitory, Zhui Feng stepped forward and reported to Yan Huai the situation of the twins outside the East Palace in the past few days, "Your Highness, after Concubine Xian was banned, the third princess and the fourth prince went to Qinzheng Palace every day to accompany her. Your Majesty has already
I have released Concubine Xian from her confinement. Concubine Xian will attend the Dragon Boat Festival banquet tomorrow, and the empress is already aware of this."
After hearing this, Yan Huai's expression remained unchanged, but the anger flashed across his eyes. He had been used to such situations for a long time, but he still couldn't really calm down.
How ridiculous, but he could only watch helplessly as that ruthless man trampled on his mother's face again and again.
Putting back the hatred in his heart, Yan Huai talked about tomorrow's departure from the palace, "Tomorrow night I will take Xinxin out of the palace. You have arranged the entourage. I don't want any changes to occur."
Compared with Emperor Yan and the concubines, Yan Huai is more concerned about the little girl leaving the palace tomorrow night. Arrangements must be made in order for her to have a good time.
"I obey." After Zhui Feng said that, he and Zhui Yun went to make arrangements for leaving the palace tomorrow night. Xiao Dezi saw that his master looked worried, so he did not dare to disturb him rashly. Jing Jing stood beside Yan Huai.
Not long after, Queen Wen slowly walked out holding Yuan Yuan, who was dressed like an elf in the forest, and Yan Huai's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Yan Shenzhi, do I look good?" After Yuan Yuan said this, she spun around in a circle, her hair accessories and belt flying in the wind, making the already nimble little girl even more eye-catching.
"Of course she's beautiful! Miss Xinxin is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!" Xiao Dezi didn't wait for Yanhuai's reply before he started his rainbow fart on Yuan Yuan, one after another.
"When Miss Xinxin appears at the palace banquet wearing this outfit tomorrow, she will definitely kill a lot of official ladies in an instant! Our Highness is really lucky to have a princess like Miss Xinxin who is so cute, smart, lively and loved by everyone. I am very happy for Your Highness."
broken!"
It has to be said that despite all the flattery, the little girl was so elated by this long list of flattery that she looked at Yan Huai with an expression of "I am your blessing!"
"..." Yan Huai did not comment on Xiao Dezi's words, fearing that Yuan Xinxin would go to heaven if he continued to praise him.
