Princess Rouping was about to ask what happened, but Xiao Mingzhu asked first, "Can Xuan Bao still cure diseases?"
"I don't know how to treat illnesses." Xuan Bao responded with a smile, "I just gave the second brother a peace charm to make him sleep better."
Peace Talisman? Princess Rouping couldn't help but take a look at Xuan Bao. She had experienced the affairs of Prince Yongchang's palace personally, and she also knew a little about the abilities of her precious daughter. When it came to the magic talisman, she was afraid that there was something fishy about it.
Xiao Mingzhu looked calm when she heard the three words "peace talisman", but she couldn't help but grab the armrest of the chair with her hands. This small movement was not noticed by others but fell in Xuan Bao's eyes.
Xiao Keyi snorted coldly: "It's just a coincidence. Second brother really thought that just because of that peace talisman, you could sleep peacefully. There have been so many so-called talismans given by others over the years."
"The peace talisman given by Xuan Bao is different." Xiao Kexiao said lightly.
Princess Rouping was interested. Could it be that her second son was also haunted by some evil spirit? She wanted to ask clearly but felt it was inappropriate, so she might as well ask Xiao Kexiao privately later.
"Okay, just accept Xuan Bao's wishes." Princess Rouping stretched out her hands in Xuan Bao's direction.
Xuan Bao jumped up and snuggled up to Princess Rouping: "Mother."
With a thought in his heart, Xuan Bao squeezed into Princess Rouping's arms. In fact, he was secretly sizing up his second brother, who was in poor health. His mother was also in bad health. Will she also be plotted against?
No, there was nothing special at all. Xuan Bao pretended to be coquettish and grabbed Princess Rouping's wrist to feel her pulse.
"With your little medical skills, how dare you check someone's pulse?" the veteran Taoist master complained.
"Master, don't we still have you here? Please help me. I'll give you a pat on the back later. How about I add a few more tasks and memorize a few more books..."
"Okay." The most unbearable thing was Xuan Bao acting coquettishly and cutely. The old Taoist master took advantage of Xuan Bao's small body to check Princess Rouping's pulse.
The old master muttered to himself: "It's too weak. It's strange. Judging from your physical condition, she had very good bones when she gave birth to you. How come she is so weak just a few years later?"
There was still a problem. Xuan Bao made a quick judgment in his mind and came to a conclusion.
"Xuanbao, Xuanbao, I have said so much, have you heard it?" Xiao Mingzhu raised her voice.
"What did Sixth Sister say?" Xuan Bao blinked and said honestly, "I was distracted and didn't hear you."
Hearing this, Princess Rouping couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, and even Grandma Ying also laughed. "Having seen many crooked tempers, Xuan Bao's true love is especially rare."
Xiao Mingzhu wanted to take the opportunity to get angry, but when she was about to open her mouth, she heard the laughter of her mother and Aunt Ying.
"Xuanbao, my sister is asking you, what birthday gifts did your grandmother and uncles from Prince Yongchang give you?"
"Nothing, just some pretty things." Xuan Bao suddenly remembered, "Mother, do you like that piece of jadeite?"
"I like it. As long as Xuan Bao gives it to me, my mother will like it, not to mention that the raw jade stone is really rare."
"Then mother would like to thank third uncle."
It turned out that the third uncle actually gave Xuan Bao a piece of raw jade as a gift. Xiao Mingzhu was filled with envy, but that was not what she was paying attention to at the moment.
"Mother, I heard that among the gifts given by my grandmother and uncles, Xuan Bao's favorite is an alms bowl."
Bowl? Isn’t that what monks use for alms? Hearing what Xiao Mingzhu said, everyone present looked at the little doll, and their preferences were too weird.
Xuan Bao felt a little awkward. Although it was not a shameful thing, it proved that Lingyun Yuan's servants were not trustworthy. It also proved that Sixth Sister was watching her, and she knew even such a trivial matter.
Princess Rouping said with curiosity in her tone: "Xuanbao, which uncle gave you the alms bowl?"
"Fifth uncle." Xuan Bao gave a thumbs up, "Mother, this gift is great, I like it very much."
"I knew it must be your fifth uncle who is generous."
Xiao Keyi said disdainfully: "Those who come from the countryside are those who come from the countryside. My fifth uncle is very thoughtful. If one day he is kicked out of the Hou Mansion, he can use that alms bowl to beg and not starve to death."
"Fourth brother." Xiao Kexiao slapped his hand on the coffee table, "You are going too far."
Princess Rouping's face turned cold: "My adopted son."
"Mother, second brother, and fourth brother are joking." Xiao Mingzhu pulled down Xuan Bao's sleeves and gestured for her to help him plead.
Xuan Bao ignored Xiao Mingzhu at all and instead walked up to Xiao Keyi and said seriously: "Fourth brother, mother said that we are a family. If one day I have to beg for food, what about you?"
With four ounces of heavy lifting, Princess Rouping and Xiao Kexiao nodded slightly as they watched Xiao Keyi gaping.
"You have limited knowledge and don't understand. The value of this bowl given to me by my fifth uncle is much higher than other items."
"That's nonsense." Xiao Keyi was insulted by Xuan Bao and defended, "Even if the bowl is made of gold, it's not worth much."
"It seems that fourth brother only has gold and silver in his eyes." Xuan Bao shook his little head.
Princess Rouping was amused again: "Keyi, what your seventh sister said is exactly what I want to say. This little guy is really sensible, just like a little adult."
"Mother, you speak for her again." Xiao Kezhong couldn't help but say, "If we talk about being sensible, she can be compared to a pearl."
Xiao Mingzhu was happy in her heart but pretended to be humble on the surface: "Fourth brother, stop talking, I'm not that good."
"You are good at everything." Xiao Keyi glanced sideways at Xuan Bao, "Unlike some people who are ignorant and treat an alms bowl as a treasure when they see it."
Xuan Bao didn't want to talk to Xiao Keyi anymore. Anyway, the fourth brother was a brainless person. He didn't feel that he was being used by Xiao Mingzhu at all.
"You bastard, what I gave you is of course a treasure." After saying this, a man appeared outside the door, and it turned out to be Xuan Bao's fifth uncle Li Zhuo.
Xiao Ke couldn't help but take a half step back because he was afraid that besides his eldest brother, the one he feared most was Li Zhuo, his unstinting fifth uncle.
"Fifth brother, you are so mysterious that you must have caused chaos again." Princess Rouping reproached her, but her face was full of smiles.
Li Zhuo said as he stepped into the threshold: "Sister, I haven't even entered the door yet, and you are telling me something wrong in front of Xuan Bao."
"Tell me where it comes from?" Princess Rouping said with disdain.
"It's so convenient for those who came in over the wall to just climb over and come to your door." Li Zhuoli said confidently.
Xiao Kexiao whispered to Xuan Bao: "The fifth uncle's most confusing rules always come directly from the wall that connects to the outside of the house."
"Fifth uncle is really unique." Xuan Bao said loudly with a smile.
Princess Rouping's sharp gaze turned away, her expression softened in an instant, and she said innocently, what else does Xuan Bao know?
Xiao Mingzhu held Xiao Keyi down and whispered in his ear: "Fourth brother, don't say much, he is an elder after all, and it seems that he protects the Xuanbao. You will suffer a loss if you confront him.
