C5 (2/2)
”Prince is too kind, how can Yu Xuan be one in ten thousand?!”
”Heh heh, you don't have to be so humble, my lady. ”I saw eldest young mistress walking over from the Phoenix Imperial Hall, so I presume that today is the day for the empress to hold a feast. Why did eldest young miss come out by herself?”
”I... ”This...” He bit his lip with difficulty and said indifferently, ”It just so happens that Ninth Brother and I are going to pay our respects to the Queen Mother. Let's go together!”
Hearing that, Qin Yuxuan's face lit up with happiness, she followed the two of them back to the backyard …
The Queen Mother instantly quieted the previously bustling garden down. All the ladies from various families shyly willed themselves to attract the attention of the two princes.
However, Qin Yuxuan had seized the chance to expose herself; the Queen's smiling face instantly changed, but after a moment passed, she immediately asked in an amiable tone, ”Why is the Eldest Miss with my son?”
The Crown Prince turned around and said softly, ”Imperial Mother, just now, at the corridor, Ninth Brother bumped into Eldest Miss. I don't know why she was crying, but I brought her here!”
”Oh? Crying? What does Eldest Miss mean by this? ” Empress Zhuo's face darkened.
Faintly panicking, Qin Yuxuan quickly kneeled to the ground, ”Empress, it was Yu Xuan who was not paying attention just now. She fell to the ground herself, and that's why she ended up embarrassing herself in front of the two princes …”
”Hehe, aiya, Big Brother Crown Prince, you sure are lucky today! You don't know, my elder sister always falls down for no reason. Last time, when she fell in my backyard and injured my hand, I was punished by my father for no reason, and I was even scolded. After that, my elder sister fell into the pond again, and I was slapped in the face by my father … If not for my father's absence today, then Crown Prince would have been taught a lesson by my father! ”
The Crown Prince raised his head and looked at the little girl beside his mother, and said with a frown, ”Mi Er, Lord Qin dares to hit you? Crown Prince Big Brother must get an explanation from him! ”
The empress's expression turned cold and harsh. She looked at her sister and said resentfully: ”Xiu Wen, Mi Er has received such a huge beating, why didn't you come to the palace and tell me? My niece, it is not her place to command others! ”
Zhuo Xiuwen sighed and whispered, ”Empress, this has always been a family matter. Furthermore, the old master had already apologized, and Mi Er has forgiven her father.”
Snorting coldly, the Crown Prince walked over and said: ”Mi Er, you little girl, you just don't know how to think. After being bullied, you still don't know how to complain!”
Yu Mi lovingly pulled on the crown prince's hand and said: ”Big brother crown prince, Mi Er knows her wrongs, if she is bullied by others again in the future, she will definitely be the first to find big brother crown prince!”
”What?” You still want to be bullied? ”Little girl, I think you just don't have much memory. Looking at your appearance, it's best if you get Ninth Brother to marry you and protect you!” Ling Moqi tapped her forehead and laughed.
Yu Mi looked up and saw Ling Mo Xiao staring at him lovingly. Unknowingly, he felt disgusted; ”Who doesn't know that there are many women who wish to marry the Ninth Prince like crucian carp in the river!”
”That's what they think, you are the only one in Ninth Brother's heart. Also, why did they call you Ninth Prince for no reason? ”That's so strange!”
Curling his lips, Yu Mi coldly snorted in his heart, and said in the end: ”Big Brother Crown Prince, there must be rules.”
The sightseeing in the rear hall gradually caused the crowd to disperse. Three to five groups of noble ladies were leisurely chatting about the recent happenings in the Shengjing.
The crown prince shook his head as he looked at Yu Mi, who was hiding beside the empress, then walked forward to pull Yu Mi away from him. He smiled and said, ”Ninth brother, Mi Er hasn't entered the palace in a long time.
”Mi Er, I know that you're blaming Big Brother Mo for not being able to save you in time, but I really didn't know that something had happened to you at that time.
”En!” Yu Mi snorted.
”Mi Er, I know my wrongs, and in the future, I will definitely follow by your side closely. I won't let you get hurt again, and when you're old enough …”
”Ninth Prince, are you done speaking? I'm tired! ”
”Ah?” ”Oh, then, let's sit down for a while and rest!”
Ling Moxiao gently helped Yu Mi to sit down. Lifting her eyes slightly, she saw the shadow that was hidden by the arched door, and a sneer appeared on her face. She turned around and grabbed Ling Moxiao's hand, and said, ”Big Brother Mo, tell me, which one of us do you like, my big sister and I?”
Ling Mo Xiao was slightly stunned, but immediately replied, ”Mi Er, why would you suddenly mention your elder sister? You should know that in my heart, you are the only one! ”
