Because his concubine had a miscarriage, Brother Ten was so distressed that he stayed with her all day long. Perhaps he had not come to the palace to pay his respects for a long time. Mr. Guo Luoluo was young, and his fetal condition was not very stable. That day, he ran out of the small kitchen and planned to give birth to Ten Prince.
My elder brother made some snacks, but he accidentally slipped on the water and the child was lost.
When I got up in the morning, I held a flower with the golden pattern of the Eight Immortals in my hand to water the peonies in the flowerbed in the courtyard. During the spring drought, the peonies would be miserable if they were not watered in time.
Although the flowers have not yet bloomed, they have already contained small buds, and water has been sprinkled on the leaves. The clear and round beads reflect the light like pearls in the morning light.
When I was in a good mood, I saw Little Pitao in the west side hall getting angry for some reason. I heard him yelling childishly: "Get out of here, get out of here! Don't stay by my side to serve!"
Wen Xi didn't know what was going on, so she hurried to take a look. The main door of the side hall opened, Wen Xi walked around the glazed landscape screen, and saw Xiao Mi Tao holding Jiuxiao Huan Peiqin inside with an angry look, "I said no.
People touch my piano casually! They even spill tea on it!"
Two young maids who were only thirteen or fourteen years old and were newly elected in the spring knelt on the ground and whispered tremblingly: "I didn't do this on purpose..."
"Okay!" Wen Xi stepped forward to comfort her, "I just sprinkled some water on it and asked them to wipe it clean." Seeing that the two palace maids looked familiar, it turned out that she had personally chosen the one to serve Xiao Mi Tao.
Because Xiao Mi Tao said she didn't like the palace maid he served before and insisted on being kicked out, Wen Xi added a new one to serve him. She was well-behaved and good-looking, so she gave it to him.
"Mom!" Xiao Mi Tao frowned, "My son doesn't like being served by palace maids."
As soon as the words came out, Wen Xi was slightly stunned. Ever since she lost her finger, Wen Xi always felt that Xiao Mi Tao was picky and picky about the palace maids around her. In other words, the older maids were not disliked on weekdays.
It seemed that the more young and beautiful these people were, the less he liked them, so he asked: "They are all beautiful and well-behaved, why don't you like them?"
Xiao Mi Tao stamped her feet. "My son just doesn't like good-looking women!"
Wen Xi waved her hand and dismissed the irrelevant people. The palace maids around Xiao Mi Tao had changed several times. At first, Wen Xi only thought that the palace maids were bad. Maybe Xiao Mi Tao was just picky and didn't pay much attention to it. Now it looks like
It turned out to be his own problem. Wenxi grabbed his mutilated right hand. Now it has healed, but one finger is missing. Wenxi stroked his hand, "You don't like good-looking women, then
Do you not like E Niang anymore? Do you not like your sixth sister anymore?"
Xiao Mi Tao hurriedly shook her head, "My mother and sister are not included!" Xiao Mi Tao pouted. "My son doesn't like to be served by palace maids, so eunuchs and nuns are enough!"
Heart diseases still require heart medicine. Psychological problems still need enlightenment. Wen Xi said in a gentle tone, "But because of Shu Lu, you don't like the beautiful palace maid?"
Xiaomi Tao pursed her lips and said nothing.
Wen Xi sighed softly, "Shu Lu is Shu Lu, and others are others. If you vent your anger on others because of Shu Lu, do you think you have done the right thing?"
Xiao Mi Tao lowered her head and half begged: "Mom, why don't you let the palace maids serve you? If your son doesn't have any palace maids around him, he won't be angry with them."
"You're scared!" Wen Xi thought for a while and decided to use provocation.
Xiao Mi Tao suddenly raised her head and hurriedly defended: "My son is not afraid!"
"If you are not afraid, why don't you dare to ask the palace maid to serve you?!" Wen Xi asked Xiao Mi Tao.
"My son just doesn't like it!" Xiao Mi Tao was so excited that her face turned red.
"The brothers and princesses next to me have maids to serve them, but you are the only one who refuses. What else is it but fear? You are afraid that Shu Lu will harm you, so you think that the good-looking maids will also harm you!" Wen Xi analyzed her inner thoughts.
"I..." Xiao Mi Tao was speechless for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "My son is not afraid!"
"If you're not afraid, just ask the two palace maids to serve you personally from today on!" The more unhappy Wen Xi is, the more she wants Xiao Mi Tao to get closer, otherwise this mentality will become more and more serious! He will still marry when he grows up.
Where is the wife and the child? You can’t give up on a woman forever, right?
"I -" Xiao Mi Tao opened her mouth and immediately looked at Wen Xi with aggrieved eyes.
Wen Xi had no choice but to slow down her tone and comfort her: "Not all women are like Shu Lu! Those two palace maids were personally selected by E Niang for you. They are all clean-born, well-behaved and sensible. There are always not enough eunuchs.
Be careful, most of the nuns are old and not considerate enough. Palace maids have their own uses! You have been replaced several times. If you drive them away again, the outside world may talk about you! Do you want to embarrass your mother?
?”
Xiao Mi Tao no longer refuted Wen Xi's words, but asked in a low voice: "Are they really good?"
"Of course!" Wen Xi touched her son's head, "Can the people chosen by E Niang herself be bad? Even if you don't trust them, you should still trust E Niang, right? Isn't Lu Tan very good?"
"Lv Tan is someone who has been by E Niang's side for many years, so it's naturally different." Xiao Mi Tao said.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Lvtan is the person who protects you, but he is a bit careless and cares about your daily life. It is inevitable that he is not meticulous enough. Both of them are careful. Just use them with peace of mind." It was half stimulating, half comforting.
, I finally told Xiaomi Tao not to chase people away anymore.
In the afternoon, Aling'a's wife Heshuo Huiningge came to the palace with her eldest daughter Wanbi to pay her respects. As the wife of Duke Cheng'en in the past two years, Huining has become more diligent. Whenever Wanbi comes, she is extremely talkative.
Yes, he came in, bowed and said with a smile: "I heard that the imperial concubine went to visit Empress Xuan, so I took my own initiative and took Bi'er to the elder brother's house to see the sixteenth elder brother. The sixteenth elder brother is getting taller and taller.
He has become more and more handsome!"
Wen Xi just hummed lightly. Wan Xi was six years old this year, only one month younger than Xiao Mi Tao and three years younger than Xiao Pomegranate. Wen Xi was pregnant at the same time, not long before Linge's death.
Wanbi is the eldest daughter of Huining and Ah Ling, and she is also cute. Wenxi came over in Wanbi's place and said, "Bi'er has grown a lot too!"
Wanbi lowered her head shyly, called her aunt, and then asked with a flushed face: "Is cousin seventeen here?"
Wen Xi then cast a sidelong glance at Hui Ning. Her meaning was so obvious. How could Wen Xi not see it? It’s just that Wan Bi also seems to be a person who likes music. Last year when she went to the palace and heard Xiao Mi Tao playing piano music, she became fascinated.
If you come here, you need to ask if Xiaomi Tao is there. If necessary, come up with her.
It's just that Xiao Mi Tao has been particularly distrustful of outsiders since she lost her finger, especially women, so she can open her heart to Wen Xi and Yu Lu Dai. Even Shu Yierha is only kind on the surface. Although Wan Bijiao
He is cute and silly, but Xiao Mi Tao doesn't like him, especially when he plays the piano, he doesn't like outsiders approaching him. If Wanbi was his cousin, he would have gotten angry and chased her away.
Wen Xi ignored Huining's displeasure and said with a smile: "You are in the side hall. It's time to wake up from your nap now. My aunt will take you there personally." The word "play" was just a word between children, but Wen Xi actually
I didn't expect that it wouldn't hurt to get closer to each other, and it wouldn't matter if cousins got closer to each other, and since they were both so small, it didn't matter.
Nowadays, Wanbi is willing to get close to Xiaomi Tao, and Wen Xi is also happy to do so. However, Huining is not close to Xiaomi Tao, so she probably dislikes him, and she also looks like she wants her daughter to develop a relationship with Xiao Pomegranate.
Wenxi is even more involved. This child Wanbi is cute and lovable, and she is also her biological niece. She is the same age as Xiaomi Tao, so it is a good thing to be close to her.
Wen Xi personally took Wanbi to Xiao Mi Tao's side palace. Because Kangxi gave her extra grace for more than half a year, Xiao Mi Tao was scheduled to enter her elder brother's house at the end of the year, so she is still living in Wen Xi's palace.
When Wen Xi went there, two palace maids, Xiang Ping and Bao Zheng, were carefully helping Xiao Mi Tao clean his hands. Wen Xi thought he had just woken up from a nap, but when she saw that incense had been burned nearby, she knew he was going to play the piano.
"Greetings to my mother-in-law!" Little Peach Shiran saluted.
Wan Bi saluted Xiao Mi Tao and said, "Hello, cousin."
Xiao Mi Tao pouted, looking unhappy, "Aunt Xu is coming soon, and my son wants to learn the piano."
Wen Xi said: "Bi'er is just listening on the side."
Xiaomi Tao looked at Wanbi and said, "It's okay to stay, but you're not allowed to talk, you're not allowed to make any noise, you're not allowed to wander in front of my eyes, and you're not allowed to disturb me!"
The corners of Wen Xi's mouth twitched, "You little brat, you have a lot of problems!"
But Wanbi nodded obediently, blushed and said softly: "I'm just listening and I will never disturb my cousin."
Alas, Wen Xi sighed secretly, Wan Jing's temperament is nothing like her mother's, I hope she won't be too soft, otherwise she will only be bullied.
It's just that Wanbi is really very well-behaved. She sat there very quietly all afternoon, listening to the sound of the piano for two hours, and she seemed completely forgetful and very happy.
Huining, however, was not very happy. He took Wan Xi out unprepared and taught him a lesson in a low voice: "Don't get too close to Brother Seventeen in the future. You have to get closer to Brother Sixteen."
But Wanbi lowered her head and said, "Mother, I like to hear Brother Seventeen play the piano..."
Huining was furious for a moment, and then he pulled Wanjing to the side of the magnolia tree, avoiding people's eyes, and said: "How can the seventeenth brother be as good as the sixteenth brother?! Why do you act like a fool and like to get close to him?"
?!"
Wanbi's eyes filled with tears after being scolded by Huining, and she burst into tears, "They are all cousins," her voice was full of grievances, she was choking, and she was stumbling, "Isn't it the same no matter who you are close to?"
"Brother Seventeen's hand is crippled! Are you blind? Didn't you even see it?!" Huining couldn't help shouting.
"Wow -" Wanbi burst into tears immediately. Huining was afraid of being seen, so he hurriedly covered Wanbi's mouth, "Shut up, don't cry!" Huining looked around and saw no one around.
He felt relieved and said, "Brother Seventeen is missing a finger and is disabled! You are not allowed to get close to him in the future!"
Little did he know that in the peonies opposite, the little peach happened to be heard. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
