Chapter 174 After tonight, I hope that two people can become three people next year
Chu Xingchen got excited after hearing this, "There's no need to say that, it's just a racket. If it's broken, just add a new one. Let's try it now?"
"good."
Chu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wang's clothes and said, "Then you can change into some clothes that are convenient for exercise. You can see that I have already changed them."
Chu Xingchen dressed lightly.
While Xiao Wang was changing clothes, Chu Xingchen watched as Late Winter led people to lay out the badminton court, drew lines, and separated them with nets.
"Your Highness."
After Xiao Wang changed his clothes, he felt that his eyebrows were a little sharper, and his facial features were more prominent.
"I'll tell you the rules, and then we'll have a try."
Xiao Wang has a strong learning ability, and he is also good at catching and feeding the ball. At first, Chu Xingchen taught him, but soon he was feeding the ball. It was very lively when you came and went. Chu Xingchen rarely played badminton, and he just felt happy.
Awesome.
But his hands were sore after a while. Chu Xingchen said with a blushing face, "I'll hit you three more times in the end. Don't hit me too hard on the first day."
"good."
When we finally hit three, Lingzhou came.
He couldn't sit still when he thought that Xiao Wang's birthday was coming. He couldn't help but come to take a look, and he saw them playing ball.
After looking at it sadly, his interest suddenly came over, "What kind of ball is this? I haven't seen it before. I want to play it too."
"We have been fighting for a while. We can't fight anymore. You can find someone to fight later."
When Xiao Wang heard Chu Xingchen's refusal, he said in a warm voice, "Your Highness, you are sweating. Go wipe it quickly and press your hands to avoid being sore tomorrow."
After Chu Xingchen left, Lingzhou approached Xiao Wang who was collecting the racket and said pitifully, "Brother Xiao Wang, I really want to play too."
"Then you find someone to do it. This is exclusive to me and His Highness, and I can't give it to you."
Xiao Wang showed Lingzhou the name on the badminton ball.
Under Lingzhou's speechless gaze, Xiao Wang smiled and said, "I'm going to change my clothes, so I won't send you off."
He actually started chasing people away.
Lingzhou's eyes widened and he was about to say something, but Xiao Wang added, "Did you have a great time on your birthday last time?"
They knew what was going on at first and didn't bother him, so Lingzhou should know what's going on this time.
Lingzhou shut up and left the Jinghong Palace in aggrieved manner. His back looked so pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.
Xiao Wang shook his head and remained silent.
Seeing that the palace people who were watching also liked badminton, Chu Xingchen said that they could also play badminton during their breaks. The palace would open a badminton court for everyone to relax.
Life in the palace is boring, so it's good to play badminton.
Because badminton can be made by oneself, and the racket can be bought or made, it can be played by anyone regardless of age, gender, or even children. After being spread from the palace, it quickly became popular.
Because it can treat cervical spine, stiffness and discomfort all over the body, and can also exercise, badminton quickly became popular among scholars.
Because they followed the fight, the story about her and Xiao Shaoqing also spread, adding more evidence that the princess doted on Xiao Shaoqing.
It is said that this was specially invented and made by the concubine for Xiao Shaoqing.
Then, this sport also became a sport among male and female couples, and everyone had another choice when giving gifts to their sweethearts.
If you love him/her, give her/him a badminton ball.
By giving them a spanking together, the interaction between the couple has become more interesting.
Later, badminton became popular in Chu, and later spread to Qi and Wu.
Of course, this is something to be said later. After playing badminton for a while, my whole body felt comfortable. Chu Xingchen drank a glass of water and talked to Xiao Wangdao.
"Xiao Wang, you go out of the palace to see your aunt." Chu Xingchen fixed the title of Xiao Wang's mother on aunt.
Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment, "Okay."
He simply agreed without saying thank you. He paused and said, "I went to see my aunt before, and she always asked about you and said why I didn't bring my wife back with me."
"Does she still remember me?"
"Remember, I asked you a few times every time I went there. Every time I went over, I looked behind me. I couldn't see you and my face was full of disappointment. She really likes you."
He obviously didn't recognize him, but he remembered His Highness clearly.
"That's it." Chu Xingchen thought for a moment, "I don't have anything else to do today. If not, I'll follow you to see her."
A smile flashed across Xiao Wang's eyes. He had to admit that although this was true, he did say it on purpose. He just wanted to spend a few more moments with her on her birthday, but he didn't dare to give her too much hope.
Unexpectedly, she agreed.
"Do you really want to come with me?" She agreed, and Jinghong Hall could concentrate on making some preparations.
This birthday, he must make it the most unforgettable one.
"Really, doesn't she always look for me?"
"Auntie must be very happy." Xiao Wang added, "I am very happy too."
This year, I took my wife to meet my aunt. After tonight, I hope that next year, we can go from two to three together.
You can imagine how happy my aunt would be then.
The next second Xiao Wang heard his own laughter, and realized that just imagining it, he was so happy that he laughed out loud.
Chu Xingchen didn't see Xiao Wang being so happy, so he came up with another idea, "No, don't go to Xiao's house today, just pick up Auntie."
He had to see his aunt Xiao Cheng and the others when he returned to the Xiao Mansion, so he didn't want to see them on his birthday and just saw the people he wanted to see.
"Let Jinyan pick her up in person with the East Palace sign. You can ask her to come to the East Palace and show her where you live, or you can accompany her outside to walk around."
Xiao Wang almost didn't speak for a moment. He knew how many people disliked his aunt, but she was the only one who thought about him like this and didn't dislike her at all.
He had the slightest idea to bring his mother into the East Palace to show her where he lived and reassure her, but he quickly stopped rationally.
His Highness doesn't care, but it would be bad if he bumps into other people. My mother can't stand the stimulation, so it's better to be careful.
"Then let me meet her outside. She used to believe in Buddhism and also liked the vegetarian food at White Horse Temple. I will take her to White Horse Temple."
"Is the vegetarian meal at Baima Temple delicious?" Chu Xingchen didn't eat it last time because of an accident.
Xiao Wang looked at the curiosity in Chu Xingchen's eyes and nodded, "Yes."
"Then let's go to White Horse Temple to have a vegetarian meal."
Holding the pair of cards from the East Palace, Jinyan successfully took Xiao's mother out. Xiao's mother's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Wang, and she was even happier when she saw Chu Xingchen.
Xiao Wang kowtowed to Xiao's mother on the carriage, bought some gadgets for Chu Xingchen and Xiao's mother along the way, and successfully arrived at the White Horse Temple.
Everything in the White Horse Temple was as before. After Xiao's mother got out of the car, she immediately got into the mood, knelt down and worshiped all the way. When she got to the place where people were asked to sign, she still asked for a sign, took one directly from it, and gave it to the master who understood the sign.
The young novice monk next to me hurriedly explained to Xiao’s mother that asking for lots was not about drawing lots directly, but casting lots.
The master glanced at the sign in his hand without saying a word, and let Xiao's mother shake it, but Xiao's mother still couldn't shake it out. Xiao Wang saw that there were many people behind her, and she herself got a little angry because of the shaking, so she coaxed her away.
The sign-reading master looked at their backs and inserted the sign that had been put aside back into the bucket. The little novice took a curious look and only saw the word "下".
The vegetarian food at Baima Temple was indeed delicious. Chu Xingchen was satisfied with the meal, and so was Xiao's mother.
After lunch, it was time to say goodbye when we came back from White Horse Temple. Xiao Wang wanted to go back to the palace, and Xiao's mother wanted to go back to her home.
Mother Xiao's car drove away, but Xiao Wang still stood there, with regret in his eyes.
Chu Xingchen's eyes moved slightly, "You can't bear to part with it, but you're worried about it."
After getting on the carriage, Chu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wang and said, "Xiao Wang, I want to have a frank talk with you."
Xiao Wang nodded, "Whatever your Highness wants to say, just say it."
They should have a good talk, and he also had something to say to His Highness.
