At this time, Mr. Qin's eyes were somewhat misty. Despite his age, he was still moved by the scene in front of him and almost burst into tears.
In the small garden not far away, Chu Qianli stood in front of Qin Xiao, coaxing like a child:
"Come on, keep going, hurry up, hurry up, yes, don't limp, your legs are already healed, relax...yes, be normal, yes, that's it..."
From the beginning, Qin Xiao only dared to move little by little, but later on, his pace began to pick up.
"Ah Li, look, am I no longer lame when I walk? I am not lame, right? How is it? Ah Li, what do you think?"
"Very good. He looks very handsome when he walks. Yes, don't be lame. Yes, he is very handsome... He is so handsome that his life is not worth it. He can pick up girls as soon as he goes out."
“What does it mean to pick up girls?”
"That's it... you can seduce the little girl in all your glory."
"Nonsense, I never seduce little girls, it's the little girls who seduce me."
"cut!"
"real!"
...Butler Qi raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.
My eyes are sour, sour and astringent, and I don't know if I shed tears.
How long has it been since he saw the third young master smiling so happily?
Ever since the Third Young Master came back limping from the battle at Phoenix Mountain, he had never truly smiled.
Every time he smiles at others, the smile is forced out, just to reassure everyone and not worry about him.
But the more he behaves like this, the more distressed and uncomfortable the people around him become.
Now, the third young master finally smiled again!
It took a while for Mr. Qin to sort out his mood and walk away.
Qin Xiao is still practicing walking.
In fact, it's not that he can't walk, it's just that before, he could only walk with a limp.
Every time I tried to stand up straight, I would feel severe pain in my calf.
The pain made it impossible for him to maintain a normal walking posture. Even if he could barely maintain it, he would not be able to walk a few steps before he would be knocked back to his original shape.
But now, it's different. Although I still feel a little sore and tired when walking normally, at least it doesn't hurt anymore.
"Xiao'er, are you really feeling better?"
Although the old man was moved, he was still a little worried.
Qin Xiao walked towards him slowly, each step was very slow, but at least his posture was correct.
There is no more despairing posture like limping.
"Grandpa." He cupped his hands, his face flushed by the sun, and a dazzling light appeared on his originally bronze face.
"My legs are really healed."
He couldn't help but turn around and glance at Chu Qianli.
Chu Qianli also walked up to the old man, nodded and said: "It looks like it's almost better, but you still have to get used to it slowly and don't act too hastily."
"Just take it slow, just take it slow."
Mr. Qin's eyes became hot again.
The grandson now has a sunny face. This is the bright and optimistic grandson he used to be.
Finally, it's back.
So good, so good!
That day, Chu Qianli was kept by the old man. While Qin Xiao continued to practice in the yard, the old man asked Chu Qianli:
"Xiao Li'er, what do you want?"
"Can I order anything?" Chu Qianli knew that the old man would not feel comfortable if he didn't order anything.
In this case, it's better to really get what she wants.
"Of course!" the old man agreed.
Chu Qianli thought for a while and then said: "I want an identity."
...A few days later, the day came for King Xuan to choose his concubine.
It is said that the questions for this first round of competition were temporarily proposed by Prince Xuan.
“Riding a horse over mountains and ridges?”
The emperor suddenly looked embarrassed.
This girl's family is all very delicate. It is already very difficult to cross the mountains. To go up the mountain on horseback is simply costing the little girl's life.
"Xuan'er, this is selecting a concubine, not a general. Is it too harsh to ask for such a request?" The Queen Mother was also very worried.
Today is the first day of choosing a concubine, and both of them came to the designated positions early.
But I didn't expect that the selection proposed by Feng Yexuan would actually be this.
This is truly an unheard-of and unseen method of selecting concubines in all dynasties.
Feng Yexuan had no expression on his face, sitting on a chair and looking at the mountains not far away with an indifferent expression.
"Didn't my father say that the method of selection should be decided by my sons and ministers? Today, my sons and ministers are here. If my father feels that this method is not appropriate, I will just go back."
"When it comes to choosing a concubine, it's up to the emperor and the emperor to choose the concubine."
"No, no, no, it's Xuan'er who has chosen your princess. Naturally, it's up to you, Xuan'er, to make the decision."
The emperor sighed silently and glanced at Eunuch Qing.
Eunuch Qing quickly ordered people to set up a tent to protect the three of them from the scorching sun.
Fortunately, in this season, although the sun is strong, it does not make people feel hot at all.
In late autumn, it is already very cool.
Feng Yexuan sat on a chair and sipped tea.
The girls participating in the selection arrived one after another.
Yu Linglong is here, and Chu Feiyan has been here long ago.
The princess of Longteng Kingdom Pingyue, Long Ziyue, who Chu Qianli wanted to see very much, also came.
A refreshing breath.
I don’t know what I’m trying on today. This outfit is just like usual.
Chu Huaiyu came by carriage, and Han Zhan and Xiaoya personally accompanied her.
Naturally, Master Chu also came, but he stayed outside waiting and did not dare to come and disturb.
Han Zhan's eyes didn't have much luster, but after arriving, he subconsciously looked around.
I didn't see that figure.
I don't know if I'm disappointed or happy.
The time is almost up, why hasn’t Chu Qianli come yet?
"It seems that some people know that they will definitely not be chosen, so they are unwilling to come." Xiaoya said with a smile on her face.
That Chu Qianli didn't even dare to show up. She signed up but didn't show up. She was really ugly and causing mischief.
"Maybe it's because I can't be selected at all, and I can't even pass the Queen's test."
Xiaoya is really happy.
Although it was impossible for Chu Qianli, an abandoned woman, to compare with their young lady, she still felt a sense of fear towards Chu Qianli.
I can't explain why I'm afraid of her.
But just afraid.
It’s best if you don’t come!
Chu Huaiyu glanced sideways at Han Zhan.
There was no special expression on his face, as if what Xiaoya said had nothing to do with him.
Chu Huaiyu felt relieved and glanced at Xiaoya: "Don't worry about other people's affairs."
Xiaoya nodded, knowing what she was taboo about, so it was okay not to mention the three words Chu Qianli.
The time is coming soon.
Feng Yexuan dropped the cup and seemed a little impatient between his brows.
The emperor coughed lightly, and Eunuch Qing immediately said: "Today's competition is for the girls..."
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, an old but powerful voice broke into everyone's ears.
"The Emperor, the Queen Mother, my little girl also wants to participate in the selection. I wonder if the Emperor and the Queen Mother can be accommodating and let her sign up on the spot?"
