Chapter 105: Whose Hair is Better?
Chapter 105: Whose Hair is Better?
Feng Xuanrui had been active all morning, and the small amount of food he had eaten at noon had long been digested.
On their way back, they heard that there would be sweet cakes and red bean soup today, and he chatted with Feng Xuanbin along the way.
As they entered the house, they heard Suisu's voice, and Feng Xuanrui instantly dropped Silly Seven and happily walked towards Suisu, asking, "Is Gege here? Has Suisu had her red bean soup?"
Suisu nodded vigorously, "I drank it, it's sweet and delicious!"
Just then, Princess Qi finished wiping Suisu's mouth and let the child play freely.
Suisu slid off the chair and then reached for her brother's hand.
Feng Xuanrui had already washed his hands, so they were clean now, and he gently stroked Suisu's short hair, "Hmm, it's grown, and soon you'll have long hair."
Hearing this, Suisu curiously reached out to touch her own hair.
There was only a short stubble, and Suisu couldn't really tell if it had grown or not.
However, if Gege said it had grown, then it had.
Suisu happily nodded, "It will be black and shiny, and it will be long."
Feng Xuanrui agreed, "Of course, how could my sister's hair be anything but beautiful?"
Feng Xuanbin, left behind by his sixth brother, wasn't angry. He pushed his way through, saying, "Yes, yes, our sister's hair must be black, shiny, and wonderful!"
After speaking, he also pulled on his own hair, "Just like mine!"
With these words, Feng Xuanrui's competitive spirit ignited.
He mimicked Feng Xuanbin, tugging on his own hair, "Of course, my hair is the best. Look, compare, sister, touch it!"
Princess Qi rarely interfered in such playful moments between the children.
Most of the time, she let them resolve their own disputes.
Only when there was an irreconcilable conflict would the adults step in.
Now, she sat there, smiling as she watched the children play together.
Suisu first reached out to touch her brother's hair.
It felt a little damp.
When Feng Xuanrui had gone to wash his face, the ends of his hair had gotten wet.
To make his hair look neater and tidier, Feng Xuanrui had applied some hair oil.
At the moment, the combination of the oil and the water made the hair feel a bit sticky and uncomfortable.
However, Suisu saw everything through a lens of admiration for her brother, and she didn't understand why this texture was bad.
She found it smooth and sticky, and she liked it.
Suisu touched it repeatedly, then happily jumped, "It feels nice!"
Hearing his sister's praise, Feng Xuanrui proudly lifted his head towards Feng Xuanbin.
Feng Xuanbin was unhappy and squeezed himself between the siblings, tugging on his hair as he did so, "Sister, touch Seven Brother's hair. Seven Brother's hair is cleaner and blacker than Six Brother's!"
Suisu obligingly touched it and nodded, "Seven Brother's hair is nice too, but Gege's is the best!"
There was no competing with the brother filter.
For now, no one could surpass Gege in Suisu's heart.
Feng Xuanbin was a little disappointed to hear this, but he quickly cheered up as he realized that his sister had complimented his hair too.
Heh, he was good at comforting himself, and soon he was happily drinking his red bean soup.
The other brothers first quenched their thirst with the red bean soup before gathering around Suisu to chat.
After a busy afternoon, it was time to return to the city.
Although the city gates closed later in the day, traveling at night was not ideal.
So, after the Feng family brothers had their fill, Princess Qi took the children back to the city.
Suisu, of course, went with her mother.
Feng Xuanrui naturally squeezed his way to join them.
Seeing this, Feng Xuanbin squeezed his way in as well.
Although the carriage was spacious, squeezing in too many children was not ideal, and they had to consider the horse's load-bearing capacity.
So, it wasn't appropriate for Feng Xuancang and the others to force their way in as well.
The large group split into two carriages and slowly made their way back.
On the way there, Princess Qi had only Suisu with her, and the well-behaved child allowed herself to be held quietly throughout the journey.
On the return trip, there were two additional monkeys—I mean, energetic boys—in the carriage.
The level of noise they created...
was enough to keep Princess Qi awake for half the night.
However, seeing Suisu's eyes curved like little crescent moons as her brothers entertained her, Princess Qi thought: It's just half a night of lost sleep, not the entire night, and it's not like I can't bear it.
As it turned out, on their way back, they coincidentally ran into a carriage from the Tang Manor.
The official road was wide enough for the carriages from both manors to travel side by side without issue.
The Tang Manor's carriage had been lagging behind initially.
But now that they had caught up to the royal carriage, Lady Tang instructed their carriage driver to hurry and catch up, and upon doing so, she drew back the curtain and greeted Princess Qi with a smile.
Hearing the noise, Princess Qi also drew back her curtain and returned the greeting with a smile.
The two ladies exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Lady Tang gestured for the royal carriage to go ahead.
Princess Qi offered a token resistance before indicating for her carriage to move ahead, allowing the Tang Manor's carriage to fall back.
The return trip for the royal family involved two carriages, while the Tang Manor had only one.
The three luxurious carriages, along with their respective servants and bodyguards, made their way back to the city in a grand fashion.
Having just finished her afternoon training, Xu Yueyao was sitting on a stone bench, massaging her legs.
Earlier in the afternoon, she had tried to scheme against Xu Yuenong, but her plan had failed, and as a result, she was shunned by the other sisters.
Consequently, Aunt Ning had punished her.
Xu Yueyao had been made to stand straight between two chairs for half an hour, and now her legs felt numb and stiff.
Finally, her punishment was over, but she still needed to carefully massage her legs to ensure she could get up the next morning.
Because of the incident in the afternoon, the other sisters were keeping their distance from her.
Xu Yueyao prided herself on her rebirth and her unique identity, so she didn't bother with fake pleasantries.
From a distance, she watched the three carriages pass by and heard Xu Yuenong pointing out which family each carriage belonged to. Xu Yueyao's heart began to pound wildly.
She clearly heard Xu Yuenong mention that the first two carriages were from the Royal Manor.
The Royal Manor was proceeding with their plans as usual, unaffected by any changes. Could it be that...
Sixth Young Master hadn't broken his leg and become paralyzed?
But that was impossible!
In her previous life, it was during this southern journey that the Sixth Young Master had broken his leg, wasn't it?
Xu Yueyao told herself not to panic. Nothing was certain yet. Perhaps the Royal Manor was just putting up a strong front, and behind closed doors, they could be weeping and wailing for all she knew.
She must not lose her composure.
She knew a lot of things, and she was aware of the future events that many people would encounter.
However, the current situation was that she had no opportunity to leave the courtyard, even if she wanted to use this knowledge to form connections and climb the social ladder.
Thinking of this, Xu Yueyao felt a bit disheartened.
But soon, she shook off her dejection and lifted her spirits.
If Chen Suisui could do it, so could she!
Suisu was unaware that her cousin Xu Yuenong was also on the road they had just traveled.
After returning to the manor with her mother and brothers, Suisu first went to freshen up and prepare for dinner.
Princess Qi quickly tidied up before going to check on the person Autumn Aunt had selected.
Before she could even take a step, she heard Peony speaking in a low voice, "The two Concubine Sisters and several Aunties sent some gifts, saying they are for the Eldest Miss's greeting gift."
