Chapter 418: They Are All Amazing
Chapter 418: They Are All Amazing
Although her brothers weren't by her side, Suixi only felt a momentary sense of loss.
Soon, her father coaxed her into feeling better.
Her father was truly amazing! Suixi watched him and began to follow along, learning from him.
However, she hadn't learned much before and had done little strength training.
So, at this moment, she lacked the strength to swing a sword or wield a spear...
She couldn't even lift it.
Suixi felt a bit frustrated and covered her head with her hands, "I can't do it."
Prince Xing, seeing her struggle, quickly comforted his youngest daughter, "It's okay, Daddy will teach you slowly. We practiced with wooden swords before, and you did very well, didn't you?"
Suixi's spirits lifted at his words, "Daddy, I want to learn this, that, and that too, and also that..."
She pointed to every weapon on the weapon rack.
Prince Xing didn't show the slightest impatience, nodding in agreement, "Okay, we'll do as Suixi says."
"We'll follow Suixi's lead."
"This one is a bit difficult to learn, so we'll need to take it slow."
...
When Suixi first arrived at Prince Xing's Manor, she felt a bit out of place.
But by the next day when she left Duke Ling's Manor to go to school, she had already adapted.
She bid farewell to her brothers without hesitation and was then carried away by her father.
Feng Xuanrui cried and wiped his tears, and Suixi, feeling sympathetic, asked in a soft voice, "Daddy, can I bring my brother back with me?"
Prince Xing didn't mind, but he was concerned that Feng Xuanrui might not adjust well. Before he could even ask, Feng Xuanrui had already grabbed his robe, saying, "I want to go, I really do!"
Prince Xing felt helpless at his eagerness and turned to look at Duke Ling.
Duke Ling's eyes lit up, as if asking, "Can I come too?"
Prince Xing: ...
In the end, only Feng Xuanrui followed Prince Xing back to the manor.
The others also wanted to go, but Duke Ling held them back.
Duke Ling promised to let them take turns visiting.
Only then were these mischievous monkeys somewhat appeased.
Suixi spent the next few days at Prince Xing's Manor, either practicing with swords or wielding spears.
Then, when Prince Xing went to review the troops, Suixi returned to Duke Ling's Manor.
The scorching July heat also came to an end during this time.
As August arrived, the mornings and evenings finally brought a hint of coolness, and it was necessary to add a few extra layers of clothing.
Especially at night, when sleeping, before, they could kick off their blankets and lie there naked.
But now, that was no longer an option.
In the latter half of the night, there would be a chill, prompting an unconscious desire to seek warmth.
With Xiang Gugu and the others keeping an eye on Suixi, there was no need to worry about this issue.
In the past few days, Duke Ling might have over-nourished himself, and with the autumn dryness, he was slightly overheated.
Every morning, his lips were dry.
Doctor Liu promptly adjusted his prescription and prescribed a sweet soup made with snow pears and silver ear fungus, instructing him to drink it from time to time to replenish fluids and moisture.
Suixi also started drinking the sweet silver ear soup.
Aunt Qiu prepared it in various ways, adding dried longan, goji berries, pickled plums, sun-dried fruits, and more.
In short, they changed it up daily, not just for the Duke but also to please the children.
Suixi and the others were always happy, unaffected by the autumn dryness, each as lively as ever.
August 9th was Feng You Tan's birthday.
Although the little princess wouldn't have a grand celebration due to her young age, the imperial harem would still send gifts and make a fuss to please Noble Consort.
As the Empress Consort, the Empress couldn't ignore this occasion, even if her relationship with Noble Consort wasn't harmonious. She would still bestow some gifts.
After all, Feng You Tan's status was different.
Suixui naturally prepared early.
She rummaged through her treasure trove and finally found a hair ornament.
This hair ornament was supposedly a gift from her father, one of his rewards over the years.
She selected some suitable items for children, making it convenient for Suixui to use.
Whether for personal use, as a gift, or as a reward for servants, it was all acceptable.
The hair ornament had a gold and silver base, adorned with rubies and pearls.
Although, in the eyes of adults, it might seem overly extravagant and gaudy.
However, children wouldn't think so; they would only find it dazzling, bright, full of beads, and beautiful! If not for Feng You Tan's good relationship with Suixui, she wouldn't have been willing to give such a gift.
After Suixui made her selection, she deliberately took the gift to ask her mother empress, "Mother Empress, do you think this is suitable for Princess You You? Will she like it?"
Children don't consider as much as adults do; they don't need to take into account the preferences of the Noble Consort.
Suixui simply thought of Feng You Tan without considering others.
Princess Qi didn't say much more, not wanting the child to be entangled in adult interests and calculations too early.
Looking at the hair ornament Suixui prepared, Princess Qi carefully admired it and then nodded, "It's very beautiful and luxurious. The little princess will like it."
Hearing her mother empress say this, Suixui smiled happily, revealing her little white teeth, "I think it's beautiful too. I hope Princess You You will like it. I met Princess You You some time ago, and she didn't seem very happy. I hope she'll be happier on her birthday."
Suixui had met Feng You Tan at the end of July.
At that time, Princess Qi took her to the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and encountered Feng You Tan, with whom she exchanged a few words.
Feng You Tan seemed to be in a bad mood at the time and barely spoke to Suixui.
Suixui had muttered something then, but didn't take it to heart.
Sometimes children remember things, and sometimes they don't.
Like now, Suixui remembered and was a little worried, "I wonder if Princess You You's mood has improved?"
Hearing the child's words, Princess Qi thought for a moment and then said softly, "She should be feeling better now."
Hearing her mother empress, Suixui thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Mother Empress, why was Princess You You in a bad mood?"
Princess Qi hesitated at this question, and after a long while, she gently embraced Suixui and whispered, "It was the anniversary of Princess You You's birth mother's passing. Princess You You missed her mother, so she was in a bad mood."
Hearing her mother empress, Suixui tilted her little head and thought before asking, "Did Princess You You's mother also go to heaven like my mother empress?"
Princess Qi nodded lightly, "Yes, they've become stars in the sky, watching over you."
Suixui seemed to understand, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Was Princess You You's mother also a noble lady?"
Princess Qi was taken aback by the question, but after reacting, she shook her head, "Princess You You's mother was a powerful duchess, just like you, Suixui. Princess You You's biological father is not your uncle, the Duke of An Guo."
Princess Qi sighed softly as she continued, "They were all extraordinary! They guarded the peace of the southwest of Daxia, but they too are buried in a foreign land."
The second update is at 7 pm.
