Chapter 73 Black and White Impermanence Comes and We Have to Thank Him
Time passed slowly, and it was the fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The banquet was scheduled for the evening. Lin Yao, who was in charge of the banquet, sat in the front and presided over the situation.
Compared to Lin Yao, the prince is much more leisurely.
In the small courtyard of Qifeng Palace, the prince was drinking tea with the queen, holding Ji Qionghua in his arms.
It's useless to run around with a bone toy in your mouth.
The baby who had enough sleep today has rosy cheeks and bright eyes.
"My queen, the southern barbarian princess is here again."
Ruyun came to report.
A few days ago, the Nanman princess came to Mi Zhen to pay a visit to the queen, but the queen found an excuse not to meet her.
But the other party doesn't seem to give up.
"Let her in."
The banquet was coming up, and the queen didn't want to make things awkward.
After a while, Mi Zhen was seen striding in.
Her steps were rough and wild, and the clothes she wore were unique to the southern barbarians.
Perhaps she thought today was a good day, so she wore red. The silver ornaments on her body colliding with each other and making crisp sounds as she walked.
"Mi Zhen greets Queen Dachen and Crown Prince Dachen."
Mi Zhen clasped his fists and saluted.
He looks well behaved on the surface, but his eyes are wandering.
"Get up."
"I was not feeling well last time and was unable to meet Princess Mi Zhen. I was indeed being disrespectful to Her Highness."
The queen spoke in official language and motioned Mi Zhen to sit down.
"will not."
"Health is the most important thing. My brother also said that when we come to Dachen, we must abide by the rules of Dachen. I will come to pay my respects to the Queen."
While Mi Zhen was speaking, Bu Bai squatted beside the prince because of Ji Qionghua's wave.
The thick black hair below her neck covered the jade pendant on the collar, leaving only a small corner vaguely visible.
Bu Bai was only one meter away from Mi Zhen.
Mi Zhen was completely unaware.
The prince, realizing his baby's bad intentions, teased his own sister.
"This must be the Ninth Princess, seeing is believing."
Mi Zhen praised Ji Qionghua sincerely, but her eyes kept looking at the prince from time to time.
Mi Zhen has loved Dachen culture since she was a child. When she was in Nanman Kingdom, she collected a lot of things about Dachen.
The southern barbarian men are naturally strong and sturdy, unlike Dachen's well-proportioned body.
Among the great officials, the prince's appearance was the best, and Mi Zhen admired him very much.
Under that infatuated gaze, the prince remained calm.
"It's Xiaojiu." The Queen responded, "I remember that a little princess was born recently in the Nanman royal family."
"Yes."
"Little Thirteen was just born."
Mi Zhen responded with a casual remark that caused the baby to roll his eyes.
【Xiao Shisan? I think it’s one hundred and thirty. . . 】
[Your father is really good at having children. From the time he had his first woman, over the past twenty years, he has had 130 children.]
[Is that the emperor?]
【Let him be a breeding pig. 】
The emperor of Nanman was not interested in women, he just liked having children.
However, such high productivity does not mean that all the children will survive in the end.
Some died of illness, while others died in the intrigues and oppression within the harem of the Nanman royal family.
Many others bid farewell to this world while still in their mother's womb.
[More than a hundred were born, but only a dozen survived. ]
【That’s why this one ranks 13th. 】
[With this survival rate, reincarnation is not a new life, but a second death. ]
[Heibai Wuchang is here, we should all thank him for helping us improve our performance in the underworld. 】
It's a typical case of taking care of the birth but not the upbringing.
The cruelty of the Nanman royal family is much more severe than that of Dachen.
At least, her mother had never harmed any young children.
"Can I have a hug?"
Mi Zhen asked, moving closer to the prince.
The fragrance on her body was very pungent, but the prince remained calm. However, Ji Qionghua could not stand it.
"Ah, ah..."
It's very uncomfortable to have a sneeze stuck in your nose and not be able to come out.
The baby couldn't stand it anymore, his eyes suddenly turned red, tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried loudly.
Now Ji Qionghua has mastered fake crying to perfection.
"Sorry, Qiong Huaer doesn't like strangers touching her." The prince refused, stood up and walked aside, keeping a distance from Mi Zhen.
"Is that so... That's okay, it will be the same if you hug me again once you are familiar with me."
"By the way, Queen, Mi Zhen has also prepared gifts for you and the Crown Prince, and for the little princess as well."
As she spoke, the maid behind her handed over a few small boxes.
When I opened it, I saw some characteristic ornaments of Nanman, which looked quite exquisite.
One of the dolls in particular is a palm-sized one, sitting upright on a wooden platform, looking adorable, like a little Fuwa.
"This is a lucky doll unique to our Nanman people. We have a custom where when a girl is born, we buy her a lucky doll so that she will be blessed when she grows up."
The clay figures are polished very finely.
Mi Zhen pushed it towards Ji Qionghua, and seeing the baby's curious eyes, her smile deepened.
He is just a child. It should be easy to please him.
"In that case, thank you Princess Mi Zhen very much, you are so thoughtful."
The doll was indeed adorable, and the queen's attitude improved a lot.
Just as the queen was about to ask Ruyun to put the gift away, she heard her baby's sneer.
[Fuwa? I think it's a poisonous doll? ]
[Oh no, it should be a Gu doll. ]
[What do you mean by using a gift to cast a spell on me? When did this innocent little baby of mine ever offend you?]
[Fortunately, this thing doesn't come into direct contact with the skin, so it won't get you. ]
[Speaking of the gifts from the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince, why are there no problems? 】
Ji Qionghua turned her head and hummed proudly, but she did not touch the doll as Mi Zhen wished.
She was not happy anymore.
Does she look easy to bully? Everyone wants to plot against her.
The queen's fingers fell back to her knees.
She looked deeply at the Fuwa on the table with an inexplicable expression, suppressing her anger.
The prince took the handkerchief and covered the Fuwa through the wooden box.
"Ruyun, the princess' tea is cold, give her a new cup."
The queen pinched her fingers and instructed Ruyun.
"Yes!"
Mi Zhen expressed that she was very grateful for the queen's thoughtfulness.
Generally speaking, as the queen's personal maid, Ruyun has a very high status.
There were not many people in the palace for whom she could personally pour tea.
Mi Zhen, who had no idea of the twists and turns here, watched Ruyun coming over and rolled up her sleeves to pour tea for her.
The graceful movement and the fragrance of the royal tribute tea made Mi Zhen let down his guard.
It seems that no one noticed.
She felt lucky.
Just then a breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness.
Ruyun's sleeves swept across Mi Zhen's eyes and then returned to normal.
The autumn colors are deep, and the gravel road in the yard is covered with golden color.
Mi Zhen shivered. A gust of cold wind just now made her eyes feel uncomfortable.
She raised her hand and rubbed it.
Once, twice...
Very itchy.
Mi Zhen was annoyed. She felt that her action was very indecent and tried to restrain herself from raising her hand. However, because she was trying to endure the itch, the expression on her face froze.
But the people sitting at the table pretended not to see anything and just let Mi Zhen struggle there.
