Chapter 6, The Thrilling Incident in the Study
"I want to read 'The History of Heaven: Chronicles of Extraordinary Nations', but it's damned hard to get my hands on it..." Yuqing spoke without thinking, and halfway through her words, she froze. How could someone be talking to her?
She stole a glance at her mother, who was lowering her head to embroider. Yuqing moved forward a few steps, turned back to look at her mother again, who was still embroidering, seemingly unaware of her presence. A smile crept into her heart as she quickened her pace towards the door.
Mother! Yuer wants to go out, wants to go out!" Yuqing shamelessly rubbed her little head against the beauty's embrace, speaking in a spoiled tone.
"Does Yu'er really know how to read?" Lan Ziyun seemed to just realize this, staring blankly at Yuqing as she asked.
The beautiful lady's mother was frightened, and for several days, she kept a close watch on her, strictly forbidding her from wandering about. As Yuqing observed the worried expression on her mother's face, she felt a mix of guilt and gratitude in her heart
Yuer ... ... you ... ... " Princess Yuxuan looked at the small figure on the stool, astonished to the point of being speechless.
Mother! Uncle Lan! It is not surprising that Yu'er can recognize characters, right? Mother holds me in the study every day, and I have been influenced by it over time, so I can recognize some, although not many
She sat on the bed in utter boredom, watching her stepmother, who was also sitting on the bed, embroidering. She found it strange that her stepmother, who embroidered every day and spoke of nothing but embroidery, never seemed to tire of it.
She hurriedly acted according to her own thoughts, and after a long while, she finally stood on the chair, panting heavily, but her small body had already become too weak to move.
Mother!" Yuqing hurriedly got off the chair and ran over, suddenly throwing herself into Princess Yuxuan's arms, holding her tightly.
Yuer! Do not act recklessly! The voice of Princess Yuxuan was authoritative and filled with anger, causing Yuqing's small body to shiver. She quickly buried her head in Lan Ziyun's embrace, tightly wrapping her little arms around Lan Ziyun's neck
Ahem... Yuxuan! Why not let Yuer go out to play for a while! After all, she is just a child, and she cannot stand being cooped up in the room like this. Lan Ziyun finally spoke, and this is what Yuqing had been waiting for.
Yuqing looked dejectedly at the books placed on the shelf, realizing that the distance between her and them was not trivial. She glanced around and spotted a chair not far away.
Ah! Slow down... this child! Princess Yuxuan looked at the small figure, her exquisite face filled with tension
Alright! I will let Ping'er go out with you, but this time you are not allowed to run around recklessly. Princess Yuxuan considered for a moment and finally relented.
However, she could not step forward to take her away from Lan Ziyun's embrace. The ancients placed great importance on the principle of men and women not being intimate. Yuqing's small eyes blinked once, her little mouth curved slightly, yet she did not come out.
She quickly turned her head, and her mother and Lan Ziyun stood at the door, both petrified like stone statues, staring at her with wide eyes in astonishment
The beautiful girl has returned, and the blue garden has also come to life. Yuqing has finally looked forward to being able to speak and walk. She pulls at her little arms and legs, and can now run around everywhere.
Oh dear! Little ancestor! Be careful! You might get pricked by the needle. Princess Yuxuan immediately withdrew the needle and thread from her hand, embracing the small figure of Yuqing, and said reproachfully
In the few days after she learned to walk, she excitedly dragged Ping'er around all the places in the Blue Garden, even visiting the horse stable. The result was that not only did she exhaust herself and lie in bed for several days, but she also made Ping'er ill from fatigue.
You cannot just take a break for a few days; your illness will improve, and you can go out later. Princess Yuxuan remained unmoved by this; this tactic had already lost its effectiveness on her. Ever since Yuqing learned to speak, she had frequently employed this strategy, and Yuxuan had become immune to it.
Yuer! The gentle voice of my little mother came from behind, shattering her beautiful dream
Why would Ping'er want to? She doesn't want to go here or do that, constantly nagging behind her like a mother hen. What a young girl, yet she acts like an old maid.
I have had enough! I have had enough! I have had more than enough! Yet she still could not reach that book, which swayed a couple of times before getting stuck and remaining motionless, grinning at her as if mocking her overestimation of her own abilities
If I step on it, it might still be a bit lacking, but if I hold another stick in my hand, then reaching it will be no problem, Rainqing thought, feeling a surge of joy.
Yuqing let out a cry of despair, secretly thinking that it was bad. What did she just say? Who can tell her what she damned said?
Goodness! When has she ever been so weak? ... Considering that Wang Yuqing is a businesswoman, managing a company with thousands of employees has never been this difficult for her, and now...
Yuer, what are you doing
The two clearly did not believe her and looked at her with suspicion. Yuqing immediately nodded innocently, being as sincere as possible. This was related to her very life!
"Yuer is already a very well-behaved child. Don't be fooled by her young age; she knows how to measure her actions." Lan Ziyun sat down while holding Yuqing.
Princess Yuxuan rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache. Why is this child so restless? Could it be because she moved around too much during her pregnancy? She frowned as she looked at the small body in her arms
Alas! A hero does not speak of past glories; she must now recognize her own circumstances. She sat down on the chair to rest for a moment, then picked up the stick and stood up again
Yuqing was unwilling to listen; she had finally managed to escape and insisted on leaving quickly. Otherwise, if her beautiful mother changed her mind, her sweet dream would be shattered.
Yuqing's slender figure darted back and forth, trying her best to avoid people. In no time, she arrived at the study, which was the place where her beautiful mother worked.
Lanziyun picked up her small body and, seeing his frustrated little face, smiled and said: "Xiaoyu'er, are you going out?"
She obediently lay in bed for several days, but soon began to feel restless and anxious. After all, she was once a person living in the 21st century, accustomed to a busy life. Having been confined as a baby in this world for a year, now that she could finally move, how could she possibly remain idle
The pile of books was almost like a mountain, and she had long coveted it. However, her beautiful mother had been watching her all along, leaving her with no opportunity to come over and seek the knowledge she desired.
However, she forgot that her current body was merely that of a child just over one year old. The difficulty of reaching for a book from such a high place is unimaginable; it is simply a delusion
En! We need to go out! We need to go out! Rainqing's little head nodded incessantly, like a pestle grinding garlic
Uncle Lan! Uncle Lan! Yu'er wants to go out!" Yu Qing ran over and suddenly hugged Lan Ziyun's leg. Her face had become quite thick-skinned now, completely treating herself as a child.
"Yuer! Come down!" Princess Yuxuan glared at the small figure whose head was almost out of sight.
Rainqing pouted, unwilling to come out from Princess Yuxuan's embrace. Princess Yuxuan reached out to nudge her, but she still did not budge. Princess Yuxuan knew that she was throwing another tantrum.
"Yuer... you actually know how to read?" Princess Yuxuan pushed aside the small figure that was buried with its head down and looked into her eyes.
Mother! Yuer wants to go out! I'm suffocating from boredom" Wang Yuqing stopped in her tracks, gazing at the door that was just a step away from being opened. Feeling disheartened, she walked back and threw herself into the embrace of the beautiful woman
Oh! Xiaoyuer! What happened? The warm and smiling voice of Lan Ziyun came over, and Yuqing felt a surge of joy; she was saved.
"En! I will definitely not run around anymore, I will go find Aunt Ping'er right now." As soon as Yuqing heard this, she immediately jumped out of Lanziyun's arms and happily ran out the door
Yuqing looked around and saw no one, pressed the switch, and entered the study. She had long been aware of those few books and went straight to them as soon as she entered the room
Ah! Ziyun! You all just indulge her!" Princess Yuxuan sighed
