So, she looked at Lin Wanyi expectantly with her round eyes and said.
"Empress Lin, where is your gift?"
His relationship with Lin Wanyi is much closer now.
The age difference between the two is only eleven years. They are not connected as a mother and son, but more like a brother and sister.
Therefore, the relaxed tone of speech made the emperor sitting here feel a little rude.
But since he was the birthday boy today, he didn't say much.
He only glanced at Nanny Du, but saw her looking at the second prince with kindness in her eyes.
Even the corners of his usually serious mouth have a smile.
It suddenly felt strange.
When Grandma Du took care of him, although she did everything carefully, her smiling face was rarely seen.
Why is it that after taking care of the second prince for only a few days, he is so kind and kind as a Bodhisattva?
Is it because people are getting older, so they have pain from the next generation?
The emperor was still puzzled when he saw Lin Wanyi taking out a book as if he had turned into a treasure.
""Gongsun Miscellanies"? Miss Lin, what kind of book is this?"
"Open it and take a look!"
The second prince is not very literate at present, but the more he reads this book, the more he likes it.
There are no lengthy discussions in it, but mostly in the form of drawings.
Many tricks and tricks similar to those of a wooden cow and a flowing horse have been recorded, and it can be seen that it is the work of a master with great concentration.
The second prince was overjoyed and immediately said excitedly.
"Thank you, Miss Lin. I like this birthday gift very much!"
"As long as you like it, this is the work of a very powerful craftsman I know. If you can restore more than 70% to 80% of the object according to this book, then I will introduce him to you, okay?"
When the second prince heard this, he was even more delighted.
Originally, he was not interested in anything when he was ill.
But after playing with the wooden cow and the horse for a few days, I became very interested.
Although this is a miscellaneous task, it most tests your perseverance and mental ability.
If you are not careful at all, the mortise and tenon joints will not be connected.
So you need to be extra careful.
He can't run or jump physically now, but he can still do some small crafts.
The emperor looked at this thing, but felt a little frustrated.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Wanyi gently tugging on his sleeve, then shaking his head.
Although the emperor didn't understand what she was doing, he still swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He turned to Dong Yuzhong and said.
"Dong Yuzhong."
"The slave is here."
"Bring over the gift."
"yes."
Dong Yuzhong brought up a huge brocade box, and saw the second prince's face full of confusion.
What kind of gift needs such a big brocade box, which is as long as a...sword?
Before he could guess it, Dong Yuzhong had already opened the box with a smile.
I saw a fine bow and arrow placed inside, black lacquered with gold, luxurious yet tough and solid workmanship.
But if they want to draw the bow and arrow, I am afraid that the three second princes may not be able to do it.
The second prince looked at this thing with a sly look, remembering that his father had said before that when he got well, he would send him to learn riding and shooting.
It looks like it's not for nothing.
"This bow and arrow was specially made for you by my order. It does not have many gems embedded in it, but its elasticity is much better than others. When you fully draw the bow, you only need to use 50% of your strength!"
After speaking, he picked up a bow and arrow and demonstrated it again.
As expected, it can be pulled apart easily.
Then he handed the bow and arrow to the second prince and said with a smile.
"try it yourself."
The second prince was not happy at all, but he pretended to like it on his face.
The tiny arms tried their best, but still couldn't pull the bow and arrow.
The emperor frowned and glanced.
"Your foundation is too weak. I still have to ask the imperial doctor to treat you well. Otherwise, as the prince of the Wei Dynasty, he can't even draw his bow. Wouldn't it be a joke?"
He does not mean that.
The emperor's words destroyed the harmonious atmosphere.
Lin Wanyi saw the flash of loss and inferiority in the second prince's eyes and immediately came to the rescue.
"Your Majesty, why don't we eat first? The food for this big table has been prepared early. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Well, let's eat first."
The emperor added later.
"Hang this bow on that wall so that the Second Prince can see it every day, so that it can serve as a supervisor."
"yes."
The second prince looked at the white wall and was surprised that there was an extra bow that had nothing to do with him.
Most of my thoughts about celebrating my birthday are gone.
On the contrary, the emperor enjoyed his meal, and it seemed that the meal had been prepared with great care.
Every meal is something he thinks is good.
I felt more and more in my heart that I was afraid that the people in the imperial kitchen should learn from it.
This eliminates the need for meals that taste the same every day.
It makes people feel tired after eating too much.
Lin Wanyi noticed that the second prince was a little uncomfortable, so she stretched out her hand and gave him his favorite diced chicken with tomato sauce.
"Second Prince, if you eat this with noodles, it will definitely taste special."
The second prince was a little skeptical at first, but after taking a bite, his taste buds were opened.
Seeing that he was eating happily, Lin Wanyi felt relieved.
It was a birthday banquet, and the meal was quite harmonious.
Not long after the meal, the emperor returned to the main room.
Liu Lin Wanyi is here to clean up for the second prince.
Looking at the bow on the wall, they both sighed in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.
"I don't know what my father is thinking of giving me a bow. Miss Lin, look, I'm not as good as that bow and arrow!"
"Don't worry, this bow and arrow will not grow taller, but our second prince will grow taller day by day like sugar cane. By then, let alone one bow, even two bows will not be able to compare!"
This joking tone made the second prince chuckle again.
In the past, he always felt that life was boring, lingering on the sickbed every day, and enduring the bullying of unruly slaves.
But things were different now. He even remembered clearly when he took medicine.
I am waiting to clink glasses with Lin Wanyi every day.
I guess my will to survive has returned, so my attitude has become much more positive.
"Okay, Miss Lin, please go quickly, my father will send someone to urge you later. It's like I'm occupying you and won't let you go!"
Lin Wanyi gently tapped the second prince's head with her finger.
"Hey, are you talking nonsense? It seems that our second prince has not lived in vain! How about I talk to your father later and find two beautiful and docile maids to serve you?"
The second prince pouted when he heard this, not happy at all.
This made Lin Wanyi laugh uncontrollably.
He looks like an interesting child now.
In the past, I lived like a bad old man who had seen through the world, which was not cute at all.
Seeing him reminded me of my younger brother at home.
So he patted his shoulder and said.
"Then the second prince, would you like to read the contents of the miscellaneous notes first? If there is anything you don't understand, just come and ask me tomorrow."
