Chapter 108: SuSu Loves Peach Blossoms
Chapter 108: SuSu Loves Peach Blossoms
As soon as Feng Xuanjie finished speaking, his brothers forgot about the food in their hands and turned to stare at him.
In that moment, Feng Xuanjie thought to himself: Dying is actually quite easy!
Everyone, please stop looking at me like that!
He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
What did I just say?
I want to carve a flowery chamber pot for my sister.
So, can a prince of the kingdom commit suicide?
He already has carving knives, so he doesn't need to buy any additional tools.
Feng Xuanjie's face turned crimson, then paled again. He stood there awkwardly and uncomfortably, his head, which had been held high, now hung low. His hands, which had been placed at his sides, began to fiddle with his robe again.
SuSu felt that with Fourth Brother's rubbing, it was hard to tell if she needed to pee, but rubbing the robe until it caught fire was probably quite easy.
SuSu reacted a little slower than her other brothers. At first, she didn't understand what a chamber pot was.
After a while, she finally understood and wanted to say: I don't need one.
Actually, as long as the chamber pot works, there's no need to carve flowers on it.
But just as she was about to refuse, she noticed that her other brothers were reacting strangely.
SuSu felt embarrassed to say anything, so she could only shrink closer to Feng Xuanrui.
She thought that whenever she encountered something she couldn't handle, she should find her brother.
This was what Lele had taught her.
Lele had said that she was still a child, and it was normal for her to be unable to handle some things.
So, whenever she faced difficulties, she should find her brother.
Feng Xuanrui finally reacted when SuSu snuggled up to him. He exclaimed in surprise, then clapped his hands vigorously.
He noticed that Fourth Brother's face had turned pale, and he swallowed the words that had been on the tip of his tongue.
As he swallowed his words, he also swallowed his saliva, but he didn't do it well and ended up choking himself, causing him to break into a violent coughing fit.
His coughing somehow eased the awkward atmosphere.
SuSu, who had originally felt a bit embarrassed to look at Fourth Brother, now heard her brother coughing and hurriedly tiptoed over to pat his back, saying softly, "Brother, brother."
SuSu didn't know what was wrong with her brother, so she could only ask softly.
Feng Xuan Cang had gone to get some water, and when he returned, he heard the comment about carving flowers on the chamber pot.
He stood there dumbfounded for a long time before finally thinking with relief: Thank goodness I had gone to get water.
If I had heard those words while drinking, I don't dare to imagine how embarrassed I would have been.
At first, Feng Xuanbin felt that carving flowers on the chamber pot was unnecessary.
However, after picturing that scene in his mind, he actually felt that it would be quite nice?
It would be pleasing to the eye, wouldn't it?
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Xuanbin walked straight to Fourth Brother's side, hugged his thigh, tilted his small head back, and said innocently, "Fourth Brother, I want one too. You can't be partial!"
Feng Xuanjie: ...
I might as well just die!
Feng Xuanjie was left speechless.
Feng Xuanbo finally reacted, and he wanted to laugh while slapping his leg. But he was afraid that his laughter would make Fourth Brother even more embarrassed, so he held it in as much as he could. However, he couldn't contain it, and he turned away, laughing as if the king had just beaten him with a stick, his body half-running, half-jumping.
Seeing that Seventh Brother had asked for one, SuSu thought that perhaps carving flowers was a trend in the capital.
So, it should be fine for her to ask for one too, right?
SuSu, feeling that she had figured things out, moved away from Feng Xuanrui and walked over to Feng Xuanjie's side. She gently tugged on Fourth Brother's robe and said softly, "Fourth Brother, I want peach blossoms. They're pretty."
SuSu didn't recognize many flowers before.
There were just a few small flowers that bloomed on the fruit trees in the village.
Among them, the peach blossoms were the most delicate and beautiful.
SuSu quite liked them.
There were only two families in the village who had peach trees.
When the flowers bloomed, both the adults and children of the village kept a close watch, fearing that someone would come to pick the peaches.
SuSu didn't want to be seen as a thief, so she never dared to get too close, even when the fallen petals painted the ground red. She would only steal occasional glances from a distance, content to admire them from afar.
Even so, she was often framed by the other village children, only to be scolded by the adults without any investigation. After being scolded, they would grab her by the neck and march her back home.
Upon returning, her aunt and uncle would beat her again to appease the villagers and calm their anger.
SuSu had struggled and tried to explain herself in the past, but all she got in return were more beatings.
At first, SuSu didn't understand why she was being scolded and beaten when she hadn't done anything wrong.
But after experiencing this injustice many times, she gradually figured it out.
Those people simply didn't like her and found everything about her displeasing. Whenever something bad happened in the village or within their family, they would blame her.
Now that she finally had the opportunity, she could choose something she liked.
SuSu tentatively spoke up, expressing her desire for peach blossoms.
The awkward atmosphere that had filled the room instantly dissipated with her words.
Feng Xuan Cang, in an attempt to further ease the tension, smiled and asked SuSu, "Do you like peach blossoms, sister?"
SuSu nodded firmly in response, "I like them. They're pretty."
After a moment's thought, she added softly, "They're very beautiful."
Feng Xuanrui, standing nearby, quickly squeezed closer and said with a smile, "Peach blossoms aren't the most beautiful. Mother Queen has a small garden in her backyard with even more gorgeous flowers. There's also a greenhouse on the manor's property dedicated to cultivating these flowers. Sister, if you like any particular kind, I'll go dig some up for you when we return."
Not far away, Princess Qi: ... !
All she could do was smile. What else could she do?
Everyone soon resumed their lively conversation, creating a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere that allowed Feng Xuanjie to finally recover from his embarrassment.
He thought, since his younger siblings liked it, he would carve it for them.
What's there to lose in carving?
As he reflected on this, he realized...
Life is actually pretty good.
His younger siblings were still waiting for his craftsmanship.
With these thoughts in mind, Feng Xuanjie felt a rare surge of confidence and smiled at SuSu, nodding, "Rest assured, sister. I'll carve yours first."
If it were another brother, Feng Xuanbin would have certainly protested in a hoarse voice, "Why? Aren't we all brothers? Why should there be a difference between the first and the last?"
However, if it were for their sister...
Then, there was no problem at all.
Feng Xuanbin even went as far as to flatter, "Yes, yes, yes! You should carve hers first. But shouldn't you prepare more than just a chamber pot? She'll need a bath tub and other things as well, right? Also, I remember that you're quite skilled at carving small horses and donkeys, although not as good as Third Brother. But they're still passable. You should prepare those for our sister too. If you're too busy, just call me. I have a lot of strength!"
Feng Xuanjie nodded along as he listened, thinking: Our sister just arrived, so she really doesn't have anything. We need to prepare these things for her.
As for being mocked by his seventh brother, Feng Xuanjie chose to ignore it, pretending not to hear.
The small wooden horse that Feng Xuanbin loved so much was actually carved by him.
If his younger brother had one, then his sister should have one too!
Feng Xuanrui scowled at Feng Xuanbin's obsequious behavior and curled his lips in disdain, mocking him, "Yes, yes, yes. You have the most strength, but you can't even hit the target with your arrows."
Feng Xuanbin's defenses crumbled at these words, and he sat on the ground, bursting into tears. "Why are you bringing up what happened in class again now that class is over? Boo hoo hoo!"
The second update will be at 7 pm.
