Chapter 106 Qingmei

After Chu Zhen recovered from his illness, he worked as a free prince in the capital for seven years. He either traveled with his wife to travel around or took a child to shoot arrows. He made his brother, who worked hard in the palace day and night, look down on him every year. This spring, an edict was issued, and he ordered him to go to the northwest to take advantage of the vassal states, so that he would not do anything.

Chu Zhen had no complaints about this. As long as his wife and children were by his side, it would be the same wherever he went. Besides, he had enough stayed in the capital, so it would be nice to go out and relax.

Cui Xiaoke was so happy that she learned that the royal palace was built in Liangzhou. She wrote a letter to Xu Jin early to tell her the good news.

When she was writing the letter, eight-year-old Chu Xuan sat upright on the side reading a book. Seeing that the corners of her mother's mouth were always on the verge of her, she couldn't help asking: "Mom, have you written to Aunt Qi again?"

My mother looked gentle when she wrote to her grandfather's family, and she was delighted to write to the Northwest.

"Yes, we're going to move in and live with them. Do Xuan'er still remember your baby sister?

You met her when she came back two years ago. Mom remembers that you even gave the baby the jade pendant carved by your father."

Cui Xiao didn't raise her head and said, her voice was as gentle as water.

Baby?

Chu Xuan put down the book and recalled it seriously.

In fact, he doesn't remember it very much. He only remembers it with watery black eyes, but he remembers the jade pendant.

He was born in the Sheep. At the age of five, the father gave him a sheep-shaped jade pendant. He carved it by his father himself. He especially liked it. Unexpectedly, in the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Qi's family came back and followed his father's mother to visit, and the jade pendant was stolen by the baby.

In fact, it was not robbed by the baby, but if he didn't give it to her, she wouldn't let him play with Dabai.

Dabai is the big white dog that Aunt Qi raised by her since she was a child. She is now in her teenage years. It is logically considered an old dog, but Dabai is majestic and looks like a strong little white horse from afar, without any old look.

If Chu Xuan remembers the most clearly for so many years, it is the big white dog.

He once asked his mother if he could buy Dabai, and how much it cost, but his mother gently hit him and said that Dabai was Uncle Qi's family, so he was not allowed to mention it if he bought it.

At that time, Chu Xuan couldn't figure it out and went to ask his father for aggrievedly. Unexpectedly, his father, who had always promised everything, looked at him silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.

So Chu Xuan began to understand from then on that, some things that even the father could not buy.

When we set off in March, officials from all over the country visited each other. It was mid-April when we arrived in Liangzhou, with green willows and red flowers.

Chu Xuan and his mother were sitting in the carriage, secretly looking out through the cracks of the curtains, seeing civil and military officials kneeling in front of them, and seeing the people gathered around the streets and watching lively.

The carriage paused for a moment and set off again. The officials in front of him retreated and asked the carriages of the royal palace to drive first. So Chu Xuan saw Uncle Qi sitting upright on the horse, majestic and solemn. Uncle Qi was the baby's other grandfather in front of him, and he also had the same serious expression.

These are the two famous generals of this dynasty.

Chu Xuan withdrew her gaze and sat down obediently, but her mind was still as brave as the two generals. Then he suddenly realized that he couldn't even remember the baby's beautiful eyes. He remembered that she liked to laugh very much, but with such a father and a fucking grandfather, how could she laugh?

It is naturally a busy thing to move into the royal palace. Of course, Chu Xuan had nothing to do, so he wandered around the royal palace to get familiar with his new home.

That morning, he was reviewing the homework assigned by his husband. The maid next to his mother came to call him, saying that Mrs. Qi was here and the princess invited him over.

Chu Xuan put down the book, changed into a gorgeous dress under the maid's service, and went to his mother's yard.

In the hall over there, Cui Xiao and Xu Jin sat side by side on the main seat. Cui Xiao carried the baby to her legs, which was so rare.

The two children are the same age. Although they sound eight years old, they are both born at the end of the year and look only six or seven years old.

Chu Xuan followed his father's name, and the prince's family was naturally different from other families. When he stood up, he seemed very sensible, but the baby was different. He was so cute and silly, exactly the same as her mother when she was a child.

"Baby, do you miss your aunt?"

Cui Xiao kissed the baby's little fat face, which was a little baby, and asked her with a smile.

The baby raised his head, looked at the aunt seriously, and nodded: "I think, my aunt's voice is the best, I like to listen to my aunt."

Cui Xiao smiled so hard that she couldn't stop talking, and turned her head to Xu Jin and said, "It's better to have a daughter, it's good-looking and sweet-mouthed, and can coax people."

Xu Jin glared at her, looked down at her bulging belly again, and quickly said, "If you want to have a daughter, you will give birth to yourself. I must have a son this time. Son should not listen to your aunt's nonsense. You must be a son."

Qi Jing only likes to have a son and is not very concerned about his children. After so many years, he has been pregnant again. Xu Jin is looking forward to having more sons, raising a few at home, and adopting one for Rong Zheng to be a grandson.

Cui Xiao laughed apologized, and his expression was slightly dark when he lowered his head. The imperial doctor said that it was difficult for her to get pregnant again. She was really sad for a while, but Chu Zhen was very happy. He coaxed her for how long she had been sad, saying that only one was enough. She was really pregnant again. He was afraid that he could not even get over ten months of pregnancy.

He said this, and Cui Xiao remembered that he was crying at that time and accepted it.

"Mom, aunt."

Just as he was thinking, Chu Xuan came in and saluted the two of them seriously.

Cui Xiao put away the memories and called her son to her side with a smile, "Your baby sister is here. Don't you miss her very much? Come and have a look."

As he said that, he put the baby down and asked her to stand on the ground.

Chu Xuan was still young after all, and blushed after hearing this. Just as he was about to refute that he had never said that, he met his mother's warning gaze. He pursed his lips and reluctantly recognized it. Then he lowered his head to see the little girl who was half a head shorter than him.

After seeing it clearly, my previous memories suddenly became clear.

This is his baby sister.

She looked very similar to her mother. Her big almond eyes were watery, her thin white face was moist, and her red little mouth was tender and pouty.

Now she was also looking at him curiously, with strange eyes in her eyes, as if she had first met.

Chu Xuan immediately understood that he just couldn't remember it, but she didn't remember it at all.

Chu Xuan felt like he was at a loss. He didn't want to look at her anymore, but his eyes could not help but pass by her when he opened his eyes.

She wore a pink skirt, a light purple skirt tied around her waist, and a sheep-shaped jade pendant was hanging down from the skirt, the one given to him by her father.

Chu Xuan became even more unhappy and listened to his mother's cold face when she asked the little girl if she knew him.

The little girl didn't say anything. He lowered her eyes and saw her shaking her head honestly, and then called him "Brother Xuan" under the guidance of her mother.

Chu Xuan didn't want to pay attention, but he still responded with concern for the elders' presence.

The baby blinked his eyes, slowly leaned into Cui Xiao's arms, and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, does Brother Xuan dislike me?"

When he spoke, he looked at the beautiful boy with big eyes. Seeing him looking over, the baby quickly turned his head and buried it in Cui Xiao's arms and murmured his evidence: "He glared at me just now, and he didn't laugh when he saw me. He must not like me."

"How could it be? Your brother Xuan likes you the most. He doesn't like to laugh, so he keeps flirting with his face, just like your father."

Cui Xiao immediately comforted the little girl, glared at her son when she looked up, then stuffed the baby's little hand into her son's hand, and told her softly: "Take my sister to play in our garden, coax my sister, and I will take you to their house to see Dabai in the afternoon."

Chu Xuan was about to retreat, but when he heard that he could go to the general's mansion to see Dabai in the afternoon, he held the little hand stiffly.

The baby raised his head and asked him: "Brother Xuan, is your garden fun?"

The long eyelashes were flashing, with curiosity and uneasiness in their eyes, as if they wanted to confirm something.

Chu Xuan thought that she had just said that she didn't like her, and seemed to understand her anxiety a little. She blinked her eyes, slowly clenched her little hand, and smiled and said, "It's fun, I have two red-crowned cranes in it. Let's go, my brother will take you to see the cranes, their bodies are white."

He can't let the baby see what he doesn't like, otherwise she would be so stingy, what should I do if he doesn't let him see Dabai in the afternoon?

He has to please her.

Seeing him laughing, the baby finally felt relieved. He held his little hand and turned his head to say goodbye to his mother and aunt: "Mom, aunt, I'm going to play with Brother Xuan, and I will come back to talk to you later."

The little one should be as well-behaved as you are.

When the children left, Cui Xiao asked Xu Jin to rest in the inner room, and praised him while walking: "The baby is so sensible, much more well-behaved than when you were a child."

Xu Jin laughed dryly, and did not hide it in front of Cui Xiao, and asked her: "Do you still remember what I was like in front of adults when I was a child?"

Cui Xiao was stunned.

Seeing her like this, Xu Jin couldn't help laughing: "I was enough to be a child when I was a child. She is even more talented than me. But you said you would like to treat her as your biological daughter. Don't dislike us now.

The baby really likes you. She just came back from the capital that year. She thought my voice was not as good as you. Don’t listen to my stories at night. It took half a month to get back together.”

After entering the room, the two of them sat on the couch. Cui Xiao's gloating voice came out through the crack of the curtain: "I can even bear you, but I can't stand your daughter?"

Besides, you said that she is good in front of the elders, so I like it even more. As for whether she is naughty or not outside, what does it have to do with me?"

"Why is it okay?

I didn’t see that your prince’s jade pendant was deceived by her. Haha, you’d better give Xuan’er a few words and never wear any good things when you see your baby in the future.”

"Not afraid, the baby likes to take it casually, I'm happy to give it to her."

"Yeah, what a big tone, I deserve to be Princess Jing who is loved by thousands of people..."

The two children who were mothers laughed and laughed in the house, not worried about the children who went to play in the garden at all.

Prince's Mansion Garden.

Chu Xuan looked at the girl in red dress running around in disbelief, a little unacceptable. The girls he saw when he went out to visit the capital were all in a manner and quiet manner, and even those younger than her were not as chaotic as her.

"Baby, stop chasing you, be careful that they peck you."

The visitor is a guest. As the host, Chu Xuan has to take care of her no matter how reluctant she is.

"No, its neck looks so good, I want to touch it!"

The baby shouted without looking back and ran around the flying feathers.

She was disobedient, and Chu Xuan had no choice but to chase her and stop her. As soon as she raised her feet, the little girl staggered and suddenly rushed forward, lying in the grass without moving.

Chu Xuan was startled and ran to her quickly to squat down and help her: "Did it hurt if it falls?"

Girls love to cry. If she cries, it will be heard by her mother, and the mother will definitely blame him for not taking good care of the people.

"It doesn't hurt."

The baby was lifted up by him, his right arm was stiff all the time, and he turned over his palm to show him: "What is this?"

Chu Xuan looked down and saw a piece of dirty... bird droppings.

He couldn't help laughing and quietly took a few steps back, thinking that he deserved it, but who made her disobedient?

The baby was all focused on his palms. As soon as he asked, he leaned over and smelled it. As soon as he approached, he frowned in disgust. He stepped forward and pounced on Chu Xuan, who was closest to her. While wiping it on his clothes, he shouted complainingly: "It smells so smelly, your white crane's shit smells so smelly!"

Chu Xuan froze when her hand touched his clothes. She, how dare she wiped it on him?

Just as she was about to get angry, the little girl suddenly let go of him and turned her head to run towards the lake in the distance. Her pink figure shuttled through the lush garden scenery, like peach petals floating in the wind, flying further and further away.

Chu Xuan was fascinated by some reason. Until the maid next to him reminded him, he pulled down his face, took off his outer robe and threw it away, and then went to chase her.
