Chapter 34: Forge Flower, What Kind of Flower is That?
Chapter 34: Forge Flower, What Kind of Flower is That?
Suisui just wanted her brother to feed her.
Feng Xuanrui wanted to stand on the chair, feeling proud of himself!
But no, he couldn't do that! If he stood up, he wouldn't be able to feed his sister.
He proudly raised his eyebrows at Sun Ronglin, then picked up the porridge from the side.
The Sun Mansion had prepared chicken porridge, a fragrant blend of rice and chicken that was both nourishing and delicious, offering an irresistible culinary temptation.
Feng Xuan thought the porridge smelled wonderful and was sure it would taste even better.
So, he decided to feed his sister first!
Sun Ronglin looked utterly dejected, as if he were about to fall apart right there. He pitifully gazed at Suisui, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to blame her. In the end, he could only glare at Feng Xuanrui while drinking his porridge in large mouthfuls.
There would be other opportunities!
Wait and see; one day, she will be his sister too!
The morning meal proceeded relatively calmly.
After breakfast, Doctor Liu suggested that they pack up and return to the post house.
With the matters regarding the Qing King mostly resolved, it was time for them to head back to the capital.
Upon hearing that they intended to leave, Sun Ronglin immediately objected, "No, you can't go! If you want to go, then go, but my sister stays here. I want my sister!"
Sun Fubu, the grandfather, was exhausted from his grandson's antics, but deep down, he adored the child.
Additionally, there was an event taking place outside the city that evening.
With these thoughts in mind, Sun Fubu smiled and spoke up, "Your Highness, there will be a performance of 'forge flowers' at the Upper Clarity Temple outside the city tonight. It's a performance put on by a wealthy household in the area as a fulfillment of a vow. How about we watch the performance before we depart?"
The Qing King was actually worried that they had kept Qi King, his brother in the capital, waiting for too long, and he felt uneasy about it.
After all, Feng Xuanrui had sneaked out quietly.
Although the Qing King had sent a letter to the capital after discovering his disappearance.
But Feng Xuanrui was still a child, and the royal palace would undoubtedly be concerned about his well-being.
When the Qing King heard Sun Fubu's suggestion, his first reaction was to refuse.
However, he couldn't ignore Feng Xuanrui's curiosity, "Ah, what? Forge flowers? What kind of flower is that?"
Suisui was equally intrigued and joined Feng Xuanrui in curiously looking at Sun Fubu.
Sun Ronglin proudly replied, "You've never seen it before, have you? It's a unique performance in this area, and it's absolutely stunning!"
Sun Ronglin didn't apply himself diligently to his studies, and given his young age, his vocabulary was rather limited.
Recalling the spectacular display of the forge flowers, he could only describe it as "beautiful."
At that moment, the system was explaining to Suisui in her consciousness:
【It's a very traditional performance that carries a hint of danger and challenge.】
【The spectacle is grand and magnificent, and it's well worth watching.】
【Suisui, Lele's suggestion is to stay and watch it.】
【This world has many fascinating things, and if we have the opportunity, we can explore and experience them together.】
The old Suisui would never have dared or even thought to ask for anything for herself.
Because she knew that it would be futile.
In the Chen family, no one would indulge or cater to her wishes.
She was already content if they didn't bully her.
But now, with the encouragement from her brother and the system's assurance that it would be interesting, Suisui suddenly found courage welling up within her.
She gently tugged on Feng Xuanrui's sleeve, thinking: If my brother notices, I'll boldly voice my wish!
If he doesn't notice, then never mind.
To be honest, Suisui wasn't that eager to see the performance...
Okay, maybe she was curious after all!
Suisui's movement was subtle, but Feng Xuanrui, who was still upset with Sun Ronglin, noticed it immediately.
He turned his head and met Suisui's dark, shining eyes, his heart softening instantly.
Feng Xuanrui subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to ruffle Suisui's hair, but then remembered the medicinal ointment still on her head. Reluctantly, he lowered his hand and gently asked, "Do you want to see it, sister?"
Suisui hesitated for a moment before nodding obediently.
Seeing that Feng Xuanrui remained silent, Suisui quickly added, "We don't have to stay if you don't want to, brother. I'll go wherever you go."
She didn't want to be left behind.
At the thought of being left alone, Suisui tugged at Feng Xuanrui's clothes with a slight force.
Feng Xuanrui's silence stemmed from his contemplation of how to coax the Qing King.
Feeling his sister's anticipation and tension, the young boy suddenly found his courage.
He turned around, hands on hips, and puffed out his little stomach as he looked at the Qing King. With a straight face, he said, "Uncle King, I want to stay and watch the forge flowers!"
When Suisui mentioned that she wanted to watch, Doctor Liu had already intended to speak up.
Now that Feng Xuanrui had taken the initiative, it was easier for him to persuade the king. "Your Highness, we're not in a rush. Let's stay and watch the performance before we depart. It will only delay us by one evening."
After Doctor Liu finished speaking, Suisui, Feng Xuanrui, Sun Ronglin, and the Qiu brothers—all their shining eyes turned to the Qing King.
The king was momentarily lost for words. After a long pause, he sighed, "Alright then."
He was truly afraid that if he refused, these children would throw a fit and burst into tears on the spot!
With the decision made to watch the forge flowers that evening, preparations began.
With so many children, an assortment of snacks had to be readied.
Extra clothing had to be packed, and security had to be tightened.
Although the mountain bandits had been thoroughly eradicated, one could never be too careful.
What if there were any stragglers? It would be troublesome if the children were captured.
The performance was to be held at a dojo outside the city, beyond which lay a deep forest. If the children were abducted, it would be difficult to find them.
Suisui and the others didn't have to worry about such matters.
After lunch, they returned to examining the boxes of toys.
The children played noisily throughout the day.
Around noon, Sun Ronglin thought he finally had a chance to feed Suisui.
However, Feng Xuanrui beat him to it, leaving no room for Sun Ronglin to intervene.
Sun Ronglin: Damn it!!!
Sun Ronglin decided to eat more so that he could overpower Feng Xuanrui with his weight!
The day was clear and sunny, and after dinner, the deep sky was adorned with twinkling stars.
The group set out for the outskirts of the city, where Sun Fubu had already arranged a spot for them.
It was an excellent viewing location, ensuring both a good sight of the performance and their safety.
After all, the forge flowers involved high-temperature molten iron, and when the iron flowers bloomed and rained down, the falling sparks carried scorching heat.
Therefore, distance was crucial for safety.
Feng Xuanrui had never witnessed such a performance in the capital.
Now, he felt both nervous and excited, and he didn't forget to hold Suisui's hand tightly, turning to her from time to time. "Sister, make sure you hold on to me tightly. It's crowded here!"
Suisui obediently nodded. "Okay, brother."
Her soft voice made Feng Xuanrui's heart flutter.
He thought, "It's different when it's my sister. She's so adorable."
"If it were that annoying little brother, he'd probably be throwing a tantrum right now!"
Sun Ronglin secretly held Suisui's other hand.
This brother was also kind to her, so Suisui didn't refuse.
Sun Ronglin had initially only intended to test the waters, but when he felt Suisui obediently letting him hold her hand, he even breathed more gently.
The little chubby boy was so excited that he wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, a voice from the front shouted, "It's starting! It's starting! The performance is about to begin!"
