Chapter 119: Fragile
“Don’t you have hands? Can’t you take it yourself? Even if you are too lazy to take it, aren’t there servants like Xiao Luzi around?” Emperor Jingwen couldn’t understand why he insisted that his sister help him take it.
The little princess’s little arms and legs are so busy that she doesn’t even have time to rest. He has the nerve to do that.
Ye Shuo lay on the hammock, looking lazy: “I don’t want to do this either, Dad, but there is no other way, Jian Jian is willing to do this.”
Such a young child, who can’t do anything, finally meets someone who will bother her. Wouldn’t she feel needed?
This is probably the sense of accomplishment that children have.
Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath and felt angry when he saw his despicable look.
But the little princess didn’t think so. No matter how many times Emperor Jingwen told his daughter not to bother him or pay attention to him, and to tell him to get what he wanted, it still didn’t work.
The next time his son spoke, his daughter completely forgot his advice and still went to help him get things. Emperor Jingwen was so depressed by seeing this.Now, in the eyes of Emperor Jingwen, the little princess is just a foolish child who is cheated every day, sold and still counts money for others.
Emperor Jingwen decided that he would keep a closer eye on her in the future, otherwise she might be kidnapped at any time.
Ye Shuo didn’t care what his cheap father was thinking. Anyway, it was impossible for his cheap father to stay in Qiuwu Palace for 12 hours. Jianjian had been with him for a long time, so naturally she would be closer to him.
As for the imperial concubine standing by, she just watched, occasionally picking up needle and thread to embroider some grass, flowers and the like to pass the time. Apart from this, she had nothing else to do.
Before, the Imperial Concubine would always go outside to quarrel with the Concubine Shu and the others. Now that she has these two children, she is not so interested in competing with the Concubine Shu and the Queen. She has become much calmer. Of course, the premise is that the other party does not provoke her.
What’s more, the imperial concubine doesn’t care about Emperor Jingwen as much as before. With Xiaojiu and Jianjian around every day, her life is already very fulfilling. Now the imperial concubine prefers to play mahjong with Zhao Chongrong and others, and almost no longer participates in the affairs of the harem.
The imperial concubine suddenly became interested in embroidery and the like. She would never touch such things before.
As for the results… forget it, it’s enough to kill time.
After a while, Xiao Jianjian ran out again with stumbling steps.
Her staggering appearance made the wet nurses behind her extremely nervous. They put their hands on the sides, fearing that she would fall. Emperor Jingwen’s gaze also involuntarily followed her.
But Ye Shuo was like a blind man, completely unaware of the little princess’s hard work, and even shamelessly picked on her: “Jianjian, stretch out your hand for me to see, so I can see if your hand is clean and fragrant.”
Emperor Jingwen narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and decided that no matter what the little princess’s hands looked like, or whether she had washed them, if Xiaojiu dared to say anything disliked him, he would let the guards stuff the cake into his mouth!
Jianjian didn’t think so much, since her brother had spoken, she stretched out her hand to show him.
“Well, not bad, Jianjian is really well behaved.” Ye Shuo turned his sister’s paws over and over to examine them carefully, then nodded with satisfaction.
“Being a good kid means washing your hands frequently, you know?”
As the saying goes, diseases come from the mouth. This concept did not exist in ancient times. Ye Shuo had to find a way to help her develop a habit.
When Jianjian heard him praising her, she was very happy and her little face turned red.
Just when Emperor Jingwen thought that this was finally all that was needed, he saw his son lying back, paralyzed in bed, unable to move.
“Jianjian is the best. Since you have brought the snacks, you can feed them to your brother as well.”
“ah–“
Emperor Jingwen: “…”
Concubine Rong: “…”
Both of their hands stopped at the same time.
As a child, when we were little, we loved playing house, giving injections to dolls, feeding dolls, but what should we do if we don’t have dolls now?
Here is a ready-made one that can even talk.
Therefore, Jianjian did not feel bored, but very excited.
“Yes, just do it this way, slowly and gently, breaking it into small pieces little by little for brother to eat.”
“Brother, brother…” If it was Emperor Jingwen, he would have slapped him in the face and told him to eat it or not. But looking at the little princess, she really broke the snacks in hand into small pieces as requested, and not only fed them to him, but also called him brother.
Even after all this, she still calls him brother? ?
Emperor Jingwen’s expression was somewhat distorted.
The little princess stood on tiptoe, holding the cake, and worked very hard, while the little bastard was so lazy that he didn’t even turn his head.
After finally finishing the meal, the little princess was exhausted.
His sister was still young, and he was afraid of scalding her if he served her tea. So after finishing his meal, Ye Shuo thought for a moment and said, “Brother can’t eat alone. Go, bring some for Daddy as well.”
Seeing my cheap dad standing next to me, he was so greedy that his eyes turned red.
Emperor Jingwen couldn’t hold it in any longer: “Can’t you stop bullying your sister? Can’t you——”
Before he could finish his words, he saw a small hand appear in front of him.
“Father…eat…”
The one-year-old little princess has fair skin and big eyes. She is as cute as can be. When she stares at people, she seems to be melting hearts.
Emperor Jingwen really couldn’t say no, and after a moment, he could only reach out to take it.
Of course, Emperor Jingwen was definitely not as shameless as Ye Shuo, who let his daughter feed him. Emperor Jingwen naturally ate the food himself.
“Good girl, Jianjian.” Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but reach out and touch his daughter’s head.
However, even so, Ye Shuo still did not let the little princess go. After giving her this, he continued to nag her.
“And mother, she hasn’t eaten yet either, go get her another one.”
Will he ever be done?
This time, not to mention Emperor Jingwen, even Concubine Rong began to glare at her son.
“You could clearly let her take two at once, why did you ask her to take them one by one!” Emperor Jingwen gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his anger.
Ye Shuo waved his hand nonchalantly: “What’s the big deal? Children should exercise more.”
Does this brother have a heart?
The little princess ran back and forth. With her height, she had to climb for a long time to cross the threshold. It was heartbreaking.
After the imperial concubine received the snacks, she refused to let her daughter run away again no matter what.
However, at this time, Jianjian had already started rubbing her eyes.
Ye Shuo looked up at the sky not far away. The sun was about to set and it felt like it was about time.
Sure enough, after dinner, Jianjian could no longer bear it. She was so tired that she didn’t even have the energy to cry. She was held in the arms of the wet nurse and fell into a deep sleep.
Because of the habit she developed since childhood, she probably won’t wake up until dawn.
Emperor Jingwen didn’t think too much about it and just moved in Qiuwu Palace directly. Even he didn’t pay attention to the fact that he was staying in Qiuwu Palace more and more often.
I have a son and a daughter. Although the son is absurd, playing with cats and dogs all day instead of doing anything serious and making people angry, he will be fine after he gets over the anger.
When it came to Xiaojiu, Emperor Jingwen could say whatever he wanted and scold whatever he wanted without worrying about which words would make him think too much. Anyway, the child was thick-skinned and big-hearted, which inevitably made Emperor Jingwen feel more at ease.
Although his daughter was still young, she was well-behaved and sensible, and the imperial concubine herself did not have so many twists and turns, so Emperor Jingwen also experienced the simple and warm life between ordinary couples in the palace.
Just like today, I was reading a book while listening to the brother and sister playing and fighting, and the whole afternoon passed by.
Managing such a large country sometimes made Emperor Jingwen feel tired, so he inevitably yearned for a moment of peace and quiet.
Emperor Jingwen was satisfied, but the others in the harem were not.
Especially the Queen. Before, the Emperor would come to her palace to sit on the first and fifteenth days of every month, but now he doesn’t even come anymore.
His Majesty has visited the little prince only a handful of times, even less frequently than the Ninth Prince. What makes the Queen even more exhausted is that the little prince still cannot walk and speaks incoherently, while the little princess, who is younger than the little prince, can now run around.
Of course, what made the queen most desperate was that for some unknown reason, the emperor’s attitude towards their Zheng family had gradually become colder, which made the queen even more panicked.
All of the above, no matter which one it is, urgently needs something to change it.
There was no other way, the queen could only force her son to learn to walk and talk, and she must make the little prince stand up in a short period of time to change everything.
In just over a year, the little prince would be sent to school. Before that, the queen would make sure he became a normal prince no matter what.
She couldn’t beat him, but scolding him was fine. Thinking that the one-year-old boy was already able to understand what she said, the queen subconsciously began to stimulate her son with words.
Seeing that the little prince seemed to react more strongly to sharp sounds, the queen was delighted, and her attitude became increasingly harsh, causing the little prince to tremble all over when he heard it.
But even though he was trembling, he didn’t have enough strength to stand up, which only made him, who was already weak, even more timid.
His horrible appearance made the Queen even angrier. At this time, the Queen couldn’t help but think of the little princess who was about his age.
The little princess is just a princess, but she can still please his majesty. She was given a name when she was three months old. Now, she is often held in his arms. The difference between them is huge.
It would be great if my son could please the emperor more.
Since the Queen had thought of this in her mind, she couldn’t help but bring some of this out in her words. At first, she just wanted to stimulate the little prince to stand up, but later on, things gradually changed.
It was under such circumstances that the little prince finally stood up with difficulty by holding on to a chair when he was almost two years old.
The queen was startled, and then she was overjoyed. Meanwhile, the little princess was also growing up under Ye Shuo’s oppression.
The little princess discovered that this man she called brother was really fragile. Whenever she walked away from him while strolling in the garden, he would lose his way. He would have to wait for her to turn back and hold his hand before he could barely keep up with her.
You have to keep a close eye on him at all times, otherwise this person you call brother will get lost if you are not careful.
Oh, it’s so fragile.
