Chapter 417: Little Sister's Gift, Adorable, and Desirable
Chapter 417: Little Sister's Gift, Adorable, and Desirable
Suixui felt that the system was right.
It had been a while since she last played with Sister Qiaoqiao.
However, she had recently been injured and needed some time to recover, otherwise her father, mother, and father would not be at ease.
So, she couldn't suggest going out for now.
Suixui kept the idea of going out in mind, planning to visit Sister Qiaoqiao and research the little landmines once she was better.
Suixui was quite curious about what kind of landmines could blow away troubles.
At the Duke's Mansion, after seeing Suixui off, Lu Yinxiao took the box to see Fourth Brother.
Lu Yinsong was quite worried about Suixui's condition.
After Lu Yinxiao returned, he carefully recounted what he knew.
According to Duke Ling and Prince Xing, Suixui only had a few minor scrapes, mostly bruises, but after applying the medicine, the pain gradually subsided and the bruises were starting to fade. It seemed she would recover soon.
Knowing that Suixui hadn't broken any bones or had any major injuries, Lu Yinsong felt much more at ease.
After Lu Yinxiao finished speaking, he handed over the box: "A thank-you gift from Mingxi Little Sister."
Lu Yinsong was a bit surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then took the box, preparing to open it.
Noticing that Lu Yinxiao was still standing by the bed, not leaving, and although his eyes weren't directly staring at the box, they were close to it, Lu Yinsong felt a bit surprised. He looked up at his brother: "Why don't you go study first?"
Lu Yinxiao didn't move: "I'm not in a hurry."
Suddenly, Lu Yinsong didn't want to open the box anymore. He was about to put it back on the bed when he heard Lu Yinxiao ask, "Aren't you going to look? Aren't you curious?"
Lu Yinsong: ...
You're right.
If his brother hadn't asked, he would have been fine.
But now that he asked, he felt a bit itchy to know.
Lu Yinsong thought for a moment and decided not to hide it from his brother. Besides, there was no need to do so.
Opening the box, he found multicolored gems, both large and small, with a variety of colors. Lu Yinsong couldn't help but smile: "Mingxi Little Sister is so adorable."
This was indeed a gift from a child.
It looked messy, but it was charming and colorful.
When adults give gifts, they always consider the recipient's preferences and tastes.
When children give gifts, it's simple: I think it's pretty, so I want to give the best to you.
Lu Yinxiao watched the box, seeing the gems his sister had carefully picked out, and felt a bit envious: "Indeed, adorable."
His sister was adorable, and the gift she sent was also adorable.
Lu Yinxiao, unusually unarrogant, asked, "Can I borrow a few to play with for a couple of days?"
Lu Yinsong was surprised by his brother's words, and he looked at Lu Yinxiao several times.
After a while, he silently closed the box, tucked it under his pillow, and gave Lu Yinxiao a glare: "Dream on."
Lu Yinxiao: ...
Fourth Brother is being a bit stingy!
This was just a small episode in their brotherly relationship.
Soon, Lu Yinxiao sat down again and read a book to Fourth Brother.
Moreover, he chose the Heart Sutra, which Fourth Brother disliked the most.
Lu Yinsong couldn't help but feel a headache after hearing just the beginning: "Can you change to a different book?"
After asking, he thought for a moment and then asked again: "Is this a book you should be reading?"
Lu Yinxiao, with a serious and mature expression, said, "Grandmother said that you survived a great calamity, so you should thank the Buddha. Listening to the Heart Sutra will calm your mind and nourish your spirit."
Lu Yinsong: ?
Do you think I believe that?
However, this younger brother exuded a refreshing vitality, unlike his usual mature demeanor, which brought some comfort to Lu Yinsong.
In recent years, he had neglected his family, and now feeling guilty, he was willing to forgive his younger brother's childish act of revenge.
But giving away the beads was out of the question.
They were a gift from his sister, and he certainly wasn't going to share them with anyone.
Not even his biological younger brother!
After Suixui returned, she carefully put away the fan and even found a box to store it in.
In a few days, Prince Xing was going on a military exercise, and it would be at least a month before he returned.
By then, Suixui would likely still be staying at Duke Ling's Manor.
So, in the days leading up to his departure, Prince Xing made a small request.
He wanted to bring Suixui back to his manor for a short stay.
Although Duke Ling and his wife were reluctant, they eventually agreed.
Suixui had a lot of belongings, but Prince Xing had already prepared all the necessary daily necessities for her.
Suixui just needed to return to the manor.
When Suixui heard that she would be staying at Prince Xing's Manor for a few days, she was a little reluctant to leave her father and mother empress, but upon learning that they would return in a few days, she happily allowed her father to carry her away.
The father and daughter left Duke Ling's Manor before dinner.
By the time Feng Xuanrui and the others returned from school, Suixui had already eaten dinner at Prince Xing's Manor.
When Feng Xuanrui and the others learned that Suixui was going to stay at Prince Xing's Manor for a while, they felt like the sky was falling.
"How can this be?"
"No way!!!!"
"I want to go to Prince Xing's Manor, I want to stay with Prince Xing, I can't be without my sister!"
...
The children were used to being together and were reluctant to separate.
Upon hearing that their sister wasn't in the manor, they were so upset that they couldn't even finish their dinner.
In the end, Princess Ling had to comfort each of them individually to calm them down.
Although Suixui was staying at Prince Xing's Manor, she would still return the next day for her morning classes.
Of course, she would only attend the morning sessions, and in the afternoon, she would accompany Prince Xing for some father-daughter bonding time.
Hearing this from the empress, Feng Xuanrui and the others reluctantly mustered some enthusiasm.
After dinner, Feng Xuanrui asked with concern, "Will my sister often stay at Prince Xing's Manor from now on?"
Princess Ling didn't know how to respond to this question.
Not go back? That was clearly impossible.
But if she did go back?
After hearing this, would these children still make a fuss? Princess Ling sighed helplessly and then looked at Duke Ling.
Duke Ling had already started wiping away his tears.
Feng Xuanrui: ?
No, Father, you...
I haven't cried yet!
The group of young boys looked at their father wiping away tears, momentarily forgetting about whether their sister could return.
After returning to the manor, Suixui enjoyed a delightful dinner, then played horse-riding with her father and watched him practice swordplay and spear techniques.
She was so excited that she almost couldn't sleep.
Xiang Gugu took her for a herbal bath, and after drying off, Suixui returned to bed, still brimming with excitement.
"Father is so amazing!"
"Father is a great hero!"
"I like Father the most!"
...
Xiang Gugu carefully dried the last of the moisture from Suixui's hair, gazing at her with a loving expression, "Yes, Father is the most amazing."
Prince Xing was indeed a hero.
It was his prowess in battle that had successfully intimidated the foreign nations for so many years.
However, behind every hero, there were times when they had to endure perhaps more hardships and heartaches than others.
