"Oh, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight?" Feng Yuxi learned very quickly. Yan Yiyi could already recite Feng Yuxi's words fluently as soon as she said it once.
"Well, look at your ten fingers and then count them to see if they are ten?"
"Oh." Feng Yuxi nodded, counting with her fingers and cheering when she reached ten, "Ah, I can finally count. Do you think it's right? One, two, three, four, five, six."
Seventy, eighty, ninety." Feng Yuxi read out fluently, and Yan Yiyi nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, that's good. Our little princess is so smart."
"Of course, I am an invincible little princess, and so is Feng Yuxi." Feng Yuxi looked at Yan Yiyi proudly.
Yan Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled. She was older than the child, but the children of the royal family never worried about survival, but the child... Yan Yiyi thought about the hard life the child lived before she met the child, which made her heart ached.
.
"What's wrong with you?" Feng Yuxi couldn't help but ask when she saw that the smile on Yan Yiyi's face had been replaced by a sad face.
The sadness on her face was like that of a mother-in-law. Although she was young, she understood that every woman in the palace wanted to be loved by her father. However, his father had too many women, so many women stayed alone in their vacant rooms, even their mother-in-law.
Is it too?
Although his father loves her very much, he doesn't often go to his mother's concubine, right? Is the woman in front of him also his father's woman, and is she sad because he doesn't go to her palace?
"Don't be sad. As the king of a country, my father must be very busy, so it's not my father's fault that I didn't go to your palace to protect you. You should understand."
Yan Yiyi was startled. She didn't expect that the five-year-old princess in front of her could actually say such a thing.
"What's wrong with you? What I'm telling you is the truth. My father doesn't often go to my mother's place." Feng Yuxi lowered her head as she spoke. Her mother only had eyes for her father and she never cared much about her. She just
She was asked to learn how to look good in front of her father, but every time she asked her mother about something she didn’t understand, she never answered. In fact, she liked the woman in front of her very much when she helped her avoid those minions.
Women.
How she wished she was her mother-in-law, who could take care of her and speak to herself gently.
"Little princess, what's wrong with you?" Yan Yiyi saw Feng Yuxi lowering her head and asked, why did she suddenly stop talking?
"No..." Feng Yuxi shook her head. When she raised her head, Yan Yiyi found that her eyes were red.
"What's wrong, little princess, can you tell me something?" Yan Yiyi knelt down and held Feng Yuxi in her arms, gently stroking her soft hair and comforting her.
"I wish my concubine could hold me like this and talk to Xiao Xi properly, but Xiao Xi knows that this is a delusion. The concubine only thinks about how to compete with other concubines for her father's favor, and doesn't care about Xiao Xi at all.
.”
Feng Yuxi laid her little head on Yan Yiyi's shoulder as she spoke, and tears fell from her eyes. What she wanted was the care of her mother and concubine. She was really just a child. Why did her mother and concubine only think about her to please her father?
Then why would the father go to their palace? Sometimes the mother-in-law would dress her up as a boy. More often, the mother-in-law would look at her and say why she was not a boy. She really didn’t understand, she didn’t understand.
"Be good, don't cry anymore." Yan Yiyi hugged Feng Yuxi tightly and comforted softly. She felt that Feng Yuxi's little body was sobbing. The hot tears wet her clothes, but they dripped into her heart.
.
Where can there be truly pure and innocent children in the palace? Adults would sacrifice their own children for their own interests. Oh, the palace is really not a clean place. It is full of blood and living human lives everywhere.
"Can Xiaoxi come to your place to play for a few days?" Feng Yuxi climbed up from Yan Yiyi's arms and looked at Yan Yiyi expectantly.
Yan Yiyi couldn't bear to refuse, nodded.
"good."
"Oh yeah, you can call me Xiao Xi." Feng Yuxi cheered, with an innocent smile on her face.
"Haha, Xiaoxi, please slow down, don't fall." Yan Yiyi followed Feng Yuxi who was cheering, and kept telling her to look at the ground to avoid falling.
"Don't worry, I won't fall down." Feng Yuxi turned to face Yan Yiyi who was chasing her, smiling playfully.
"That's slower."
"Okay." Feng Yuxi obediently stopped running and waited for Yan Yiyi to catch up. She stretched out her little hand to hold Yan Yiyi's hand.
Yan Yiyi smiled slightly, knelt down and held Feng Yuxi in her arms, scraping her little nose with one hand, causing Feng Yuxi to laugh mischievously.
"Auntie, you are so kind." Feng Yuxi put her arms around Yan Yiyi's neck and whispered.
"Uh..." Yan Yiyi was startled, should she call her sister-in-law?
