Princess Rouping looked at Xiao Kezhong and Xiao Mingzhu. These two children were once her most valued and favorite children, but now they disappointed her the most.
Aunt Ying came over after hearing the news. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xuan Bao nestled in Princess Rouping's arms. Once upon a time, Miss Seven had become the backbone of the Hou family. As long as she saw her, she would feel at ease.
"My eldest son, Miss Sixth, the princess has been working very hard recently. She has always been thin and weak, so please don't bother her with any troubles."
"Mother, you must be tired." Xuan Bao cooperated with Grandma Ying and immediately slid to the ground, "Go back to your room and rest."
Princess Rouping was about to speak when she noticed that Xuan Bao was winking at her, so she stood up knowingly. Aunt Ying stepped forward to support her and then looked at the little baby with some worry.
After blinking a few times and showing a bright smile, Xuan Bao waved his hand and Princess Rouping left with Aunt Ying.
"Humph." Seeing that Princess Rouping had left, Xiao Kezhong did not hide his disgust for Xuan Bao.
"Even if we call the imperial doctor who treats the emperor, he can't cure her hand injury." After saying this, Xuan Bao walked away.
As expected, Xuan Bao was stopped before she reached the threshold. The person who stopped her was Xiao Kezhong.
"Do you know something?"
"I don't know anything." Xuan Bao opened his eyes and lied, "If it were an ordinary burn, why would all the doctors just look at it and leave?"
After saying that, Xuan Bao walked past Xiao Kezhong and ignored him at all.
After leaving the hall, Xuan Bao's eyes fell in the direction of the door. Xia Yu immediately nodded and left with her skirt in hand. She took Dong Xue and walked toward her mother's bedroom in the inner courtyard of Qinse Courtyard.
"Brother, what she said makes sense?" Xiao Mingzhu came to Xiao Kezhong's side.
Xiao Kezhong blurted out: "I'll go and ask clearly."
"Wait a minute." Xiao Mingzhu took Xiao Kezhong's arm and looked up at him, "You are indeed a bit strange. You care a little too much about your second aunt."
"Second uncle, second aunt has always treated me very well." Xiao Kezhong turned slightly to hide the embarrassment on his face.
Xiao Mingzhu thought about it, and it was true. Apart from Xiao Youfeng, the second uncle and the second aunt were very good to Xiao Kezhong, even much better than Xiao Youduo.
"What about you? Why do you want to speak for her?" Xiao Kezhong asked.
"Second aunt is also good to me." Xiao Mingzhu said casually.
When it comes to being kind to Xiao Mingzhu, no one treats her better than Princess Rouping. What she said is obviously not true, but at this moment Xiao Kezhong is flawlessly paying attention to her.
"You go back to Yicai Garden."
"Okay, big brother, walk slowly."
The brother and sister parted ways at the gate of Qinse Courtyard. Yicaiyuan was right next door to Qinse Courtyard. Xiao Mingzhu walked towards her own yard, and Xiao Kezhong left quickly.
After walking for a while, Xiao Kezhong looked around and then turned into another path in the garden and went straight to the West Crossing Courtyard.
Watching Xiao Kezhong enter, Xia Yu revealed her face from behind the big tree, a smile appeared on her pretty face. Just as the county master expected, she turned around and quietly hurried back to recover.
When Xuan Bao arrived at Princess Rouping's bedroom, Grandma Ying was waiting outside in person. When she saw the little baby, she turned around with joy and went inside to report.
"Mother." Xuan Bao entered the house and saw Princess Rouping wiping away tears.
The little baby stepped forward quickly: "Mom, don't cry, don't cry."
"It's true that Mingzhu was adopted, but I've always doted on her. I'm afraid other families don't dote on their daughters as much as I do." At this point, Princess Rouping paused, "Kezhong was the first one to come out of my belly.
My child, I love him more than the others, why does he..."
"Mother, blood is thicker than water. Big brother just can't turn around for a while." Xuan Bao consoled him.
Aunt Ying agreed: "The county master is right, the eldest son just had a temporary misunderstanding, and he will come to his senses sooner or later."
"Mother, my eldest brother still respects you very much." Xuan Bao said intentionally or unintentionally.
Princess Rouping sighed: "It sounds like respect, but it sounds like alienation. He is the eldest son, and I am stricter with him than other children. Maybe I am wrong."
"Princess, the eldest son was very close to you when he was a child, but he has grown up now." Aunt Ying said.
A light flashed in Xuan Bao's eyes: "Brother, when he was a kid, did he follow the same rules and keep a straight face?"
Grandma Ying recalled the past and smiled and said, "What about that? When your eldest brother was as old as you, you still acted like a spoiled brat and always competed with the younger ones for the title of princess."
"Yes, Ke Zhong was very close to me at that time. When he was six or seven years old, he would always come to Qinse Courtyard to sleep with me. He would even drive your father to the study room in Lingyun Court." Princess Rouping recalled that time.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth and snicker.
Is this what a six- or seven-year-old elder brother is like? Xuan Bao's heart skipped a beat, and she calmly continued to ask.
"Mom, according to what you said, my eldest brother is still a little kid at six or seven years old. He's so embarrassed."
"Yeah, at that time I really felt that Ke Zhong was younger than him, but Ke Ren was more mature than him."
"Then since when did eldest brother grow up?"
"Yes, since when did Ke Zhong grow up?" Princess Rouping listened to Xuan Bao and couldn't help but follow her train of thought, "It should have been when he was eleven years old."
Aunt Ying thought for a while and then answered: "The princess remembers correctly, it was when she was eleven years old. I still remember clearly that after falling into the water, the eldest son was different and no longer clinging to you.
It seems like I’ve really grown up.”
Xiao Kezhong was four years older than Xiao Youduo. When he hit his head at the age of seven, he was eleven years old and they met again.
If you get close, it sounds like there will be a problem.
"Aunt Ying reminded me that because there were four little ones at that time, I was secretly happy for Ke Zhong's transformation." Princess Rouping searched in her memory, "I also asked him at that time, and he said he was the eldest brother.
You must act like a big brother. When I told your father, he was very happy and even rewarded him with a dagger."
"That's right, that's right, that's it." Aunt Ying sighed after she finished speaking, "When I was a child, I was obviously a very filial and obedient child, but when I grow up, I have changed."
After hearing what she wanted to know, and not wanting Princess Rouping to continue feeling sad, Xuan Bao diverted her attention: "Mother, Cui Huan is back."
"Really? Where is she? By the way, it may not be convenient for her to appear in broad daylight." Princess Rouping was indeed attracted by the topic of Xuan Bao.
Looking at the door, Dongxue was guarding the door. There was no one else in the room except Granny Ying. Xuanbao told Cui Huan what happened.
Princess Rouping and Aunt Ying were stunned and speechless for a long time.
"That girl Cuihuan has been with the princess for many years and is loyal. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Grandma Ying's tears fell.
