Chapter 169: Peace and Long Life
Chapter 169: Peace and Long Life
The little girl bravely expressed her likes.
For Princess Qi, Sui Sui had made progress and became bolder.
This made her very pleased.
At this moment, forget about earrings, even if there was a pitfall in front of her, she felt that she could bravely rush forward.
Princess Qi tried to suppress her joy, smiled and stroked Sui Sui's back, saying gently, "If Sui Sui likes it, then thank your sister, okay?"
Mother Queen meant that she could accept the gift?
Sui Sui turned her head, her eyes bright and clear, and looked at Mother Queen in surprise.
She met the gentle smile of Princess Qi.
Mother Queen was so kind and gentle!
Sui Sui's heart was filled with affection for Mother Queen. She wanted to like her for a lifetime, and even in her next life!
However, she still remembered the gift she liked.
So, she reached out her small hand and obediently took the gift, her voice soft and with a slight whine, "Thank you, Sister Shuran."
The soft voice of the little girl made people's hearts soften as well.
However, why was there a hint of whining in her tone? After hearing this, He Shuran was a little worried. Although she was older than Sui Sui, she wasn't much taller.
At this moment, by lowering her head slightly, she could see the little girl's expression up close.
Seeing Sui Sui pouting slightly, not looking aggrieved, He Shuran asked with some concern, "What's wrong, Sui Sui?"
Princess Qi also looked over worriedly.
Mrs. He was puzzled and looked over as well.
Being stared at by so many people, Sui Sui felt a little embarrassed.
She gently hugged Princess Qi's thigh, burying her entire face in her mother's skirt, her voice muffled and a little embarrassed, "I like Mother Queen."
The child's meaning was simple; she liked how Mother Queen encouraged and cared for her.
The child's affection was muffled and carried a hint of grievance in her sobs.
However, Princess Qi understood that this was not grievance, but rather, she was touched, happy, and delighted.
Thinking of this, her heart felt as if it was soaked in honey, a little sweet, and with a tingly feeling that she couldn't quite describe.
She gently stroked the child's back again and soothed her in a warm voice, "Mother Queen likes Sui Sui too, and likes her the most."
Hearing this, Sui Sui felt even more embarrassed and hid in Mother Queen's skirt, not wanting to come out.
He Shuran knew that her sister wasn't aggrieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. He looked on from the side and couldn't help but smile as she teased, "The innocence of children is the most adorable. Princess Qi, you are so blessed! Having both a son and a daughter, and both are such good children, it's truly wonderful!"
Mrs. He herself also had a son and a daughter, and they were both good children.
However, He Shuran's health was always a weight on her heart.
Until she heard the doctor say that her child was completely healthy, her heart would be like a floating leaf on the sea, drifting here and there, never truly finding peace.
Princess Qi, who was being teased, rarely felt a little embarrassed, smiling and exchanging a few words with Mrs. He.
Since Sister Shuran gave a gift to Sui Sui, she had to reciprocate.
Even if she didn't return the gift immediately, she would do so afterward.
Sui Sui searched through the things she was wearing and then took off a beautiful gold bracelet from her wrist.
The bracelet on the child's hand was even more ornate and flashy.
In addition to various patterns, it was also inlaid with all sorts of beautiful gemstones.
Red, green, purple, blue...
It was colorful and matched the children's preference for bright and vibrant colors.
Sui Sui's bracelet was also colorful and flashy.
This bracelet was chosen from the box of jewelry that Queen Qi had given to Sui Sui as a keepsake.
Aunt He had picked out a flashy style that Sui Sui loved and put it on her.
When Sui Sui first woke up, she was still groggy and hadn't taken a good look at it.
Now, as she looked at it, she felt a bit reluctant to part with it.
However, He Shuran was very nice, and Sui Sui liked the earrings as well.
So, letting go of the last bit of reluctance, Sui Sui held out the beautiful bracelet to He Shuran, saying, "Shuran, I wish you peace and long life."
Sui Sui didn't know many blessings.
Previously, she had only known the blessing of peace.
In order to better thank He Shuran, Sui Sui had just quietly asked Le Le.
Le Le taught her that what He Shuran wanted most was probably: peace, health, and longevity.
So, 'long life' was the most sincere and beautiful blessing for He Shuran.
He Shuran had heard the blessing of 'long life' countless times.
However, what she heard from Sui Sui seemed a little different from what she had heard from others.
Sui Sui's eyes sparkled, and her expression was so innocent and sincere as she looked at her and said, 'Long life.'
He Shuran had a very strange feeling, that is, after hearing Sui Sui's blessing, she seemed to be really able to live a long life.
Before, she had never had such a feeling.
Now, for the first time, she had such an experience.
It was an indescribable, mystical feeling.
This made He Shuran dazed for a while.
When she came back to her senses, her hand had already been slipped on the bracelet by Sui Sui.
Realizing that she had been lost in thought, He Shuran smiled embarrassedly, her lips quivering, her voice trembling slightly, "Thank you, Sui Sui, I will live a long life."
He Shuran wanted to say: She would live a long life, protecting the adorable Sui Sui, and she would be worry-free year after year.
For such a lovely sister, she must bravely and strongly live on!
At this moment, the torment and pain brought by illness seemed to have dissipated.
For the first time, He Shuran had such a clear thought: She wanted to live, she had to live, she would live!
Not just for herself, but also for all these loved ones.
Sui Sui's blessing was simple but sincere.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. He's eyes turned red.
What she wished most for was for her daughter to live a long life.
Actually, it was normal to not live to be a hundred years old, as very few people could truly live that long nowadays.
Mrs. He didn't think she was being greedy, at least until she reached the age of maturity, and saw more of the world.
Mrs. He felt that she wasn't being greedy, and her heart slowly calmed down.
The two little girls happily exchanged gifts and then played together for a while.
Sui Sui told He Shuran about the flowers, grasses, wild vegetables, and chickens and ducks she had seen in the village.
For He Shuran, it was a completely strange and novel world.
She sat there, her hands propping up her chin, and as the candlelight flickered, she widened her eyes from time to time, "Wow, is that true?"
"Can chickens run that far?"
"Can they fly?"
"Oh my, what kind of flower is that, I've never seen it before!"
......
Mrs. He chatted with Queen Qi on the side, watching her daughter's lively expressions, and she couldn't help but turn her head away, her eyes reddening again.
Queen Qi comforted her on the side, "Your child is happy, you should be happy too."
Hearing this, Mrs. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, happy, happy."
She should be happy.
Her child was rarely this lively and joyful, and if she saw her being sad, her child might also be sad.
Mrs. He kept reminding herself, and her heart slowly calmed down.
