Chapter 2, the youth is unaware of the taste of sorrow

Why did I not get to eat beef

Ouch! Where did this pillar come from? I won't give way even when I see my great-aunt! I covered my nose and was just about to start cursing.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard! Sun Yat-sen succeeded only after ten revolutions

It is very wet, has it rained? It is very itchy, what is it, soft and squishy

It is no surprise that the little one I raised with great care has transformed so much; she has truly blossomed into a beautiful young woman. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by her profile. The allure of beauty is indeed tied to nature.

Xiao Bai looked at Yi Er with infinite sympathy and relief: Fortunately, Rong Er did not tease me today

Congratulations to Her Highness the Crown Princess, may your blessings be as vast as the Eastern Sea and your longevity be as enduring as the Southern Mountain! Congratulations to the Lord! The servants knelt in the hall, filling it to capacity, while the three mothers and two sisters slightly bowed in greeting

"Prime Minister Yun, I have long heard that your residence by the lake is naturally beautiful and uniquely scenic. However, during my visit today, I found that amidst the vibrant spring greenery, there is not a single hint of red. I wonder why that is?" The raccoon cat subtly shifted the topic.

Aowーー

"Draw me a picture, and I will forgive you"

Xiao Bai looked at me with affection, and among those present, he was the only one who smiled most naturally

But why do I not have milk

Praise Your Highness for your magnificent bravery

Thus, it is said that rarity increases value; when one becomes accustomed to seeing rare treasures, they eventually become worthless.

I have eaten

"No need for formalities." The raccoon cat was dressed in a white silk robe embroidered with a dragon pattern, with the collar and cuffs made of black satin. Golden thread formed a coiling dragon design on the garment. With his hands clasped behind his back, the dark mass on his chest clearly indicated my guilt; it seemed that the brush had ultimately implicated him. The raccoon cat pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve and disdainfully wiped away the ink, which miraculously vanished.

What is the Year of the Sheep?

Xiao Bai always turns back to give me a sly smile just as I am about to catch up, and then deftly dodges my attack, leaving me infuriated.

The raccoon cat cast a strange glance at me before leaving, causing the hair on my back to stand on end

(4) Change to another kitchen to continue cooking the noodles. However, the beef can no longer be used

You are being naughty again, my child..." Father ruffled my hair and hugged me, seating me in front of the red-painted octagonal peach wood round table in the hall

How many people

"Xiao Bai, it hurts!" I broke free from Xiao Bai's embrace, took a tissue to blow my nose, and felt a tickle in my trachea, all due to this damned pollen allergy

Achoo! The Crown Prince, who was reading in the Eastern Palace, suddenly felt a chill breeze pass by, making his back feel somewhat cold.

Just as I wore an innocent expression, a warm silk handkerchief was pressed against my face. "Yes, my dear sister is very lovely. After mother cleans her up, Si Ru can hold her again, alright?" My aunt gently pushed aside the octopus that was weighing down on me, tenderly wiping the drool off my face with the silk handkerchief, and then took out the blood jade pendant from under my pillow to hang on my chest. Her delicate jade-like hands gently combed through my still unkempt hair, dressed me in a dark red longevity jacket with silver trim, and tied a magnolia-scented sachet around me, on which a character for "beauty" was embroidered in gold thread in a cloud style. It is said that this cloud style was created by my father, characterized by slender strokes and a vigorous yet charming form, with a free and unrestrained brushwork, establishing a unique style known as cloud script.

From this point on, I embarked on a vigorous career as a professional pig farmer

It is so bitter! Brother is the best, he won't tell father, right? I stuck out my tongue and leaned against Xiaobai with a face full of sorrow.

Experimental results

"Yun Siru, will you teach me archery?" she said, flattering as she clung to Yun Siru's arm

(1) Start the fire. The fire is too strong

This is the thirteen taels of flower tea specially dried by the Crown Princess for the Crown Prince. It is said that unlike ordinary flower tea which uses flower petals, this tea only uses flower buds, making it exceptionally sweet

At the age of seven, I developed a pollen allergy. Every spring, when the flowers bloomed, I would start sneezing incessantly, and my throat and airways would itch uncontrollably. Only the medicine prescribed by Master Fang could provide some relief. Master Fang tried numerous formulas, but none could eradicate the allergy; they could only alleviate it temporarily. My grandfather, concerned for my health, ordered the servants to uproot all flowering plants in the Yun residence and replace them with various green foliage plants, but the effect was minimal. The most notable feature of the Xiangze Kingdom is its wide variety of flowers and their long blooming periods, with indistinct seasons and an extended spring and summer. My grandfather could not possibly have all the flowers in the country removed, so every spring, pollen would slowly disperse into the air within the Xiang residence.

"Mother, look! My sister is awake, and she is so cute!" The culprit, Yun Siru, showed no remorse whatsoever and excitedly dragged my aunt to witness my miserable state.

In those years, I was a new generation of traditional women nurtured by numerous beautiful writings about one woman and many men. I have always believed that it is I who should bear the burden of all men, not the other way around! A gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years. When I grow up, I will make you bow down beneath my pomegranate skirt and then crush a glass heart with force!

Xiao Bai was momentarily taken aback, her face slightly flushed, and with a hint of embarrassment, she said: "No matter how beautiful someone else is, they cannot compare to Rong Er; Rong Er is the most beautiful person in the whole world!"

Alas, with so many things, how am I to choose! ... I am a person who loves wealth, beauty, food, and power ... In any case, everything is good except for thinking and making choices. Never mind, I half-kneel on my father's lap and rise, leaning on the edge of the table. In the puzzled gazes of those around me, I gather all these messy things in front of me with both hands, and with great effort, I tilt my head back and smile brightly: "Father, I want them all!" I half-kneel on my father's lap and rise, leaning on the edge of the table. In the puzzled gazes of those around me, I gather all these messy things in front of me with both hands, and with great effort, I tilt my head back and smile brightly: "Father, I want them all!"

Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess has sent someone to deliver congratulatory gifts! Please take a look, Your Highness

I am angry

Did you eat your wife inside?

Once again, it is the season when the willow catkins flutter in the air. Half the pond is filled with catkins as light as smoke, while faint raindrops fall sporadically. The spring light of April seems to fade yet not fade away.

You! Alas, has the medicine prepared by Master Fang been spilled by you again?" Xiao Bai sighed while taking out a handkerchief to wipe my face, and then casually helped to wipe one of the ears.

Eating more papaya will lead to it

I was born in the Year of the Pig, you are four years older than me, born in the Year of the Goat. If you do not act as the goat, who will?

In the afternoon, as the initial rain cleared, the spring scenery of the Yuan Lake vividly came to life under the skilled hands of Xiao Bai; no, it was on the back of a pig. I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Upon hearing my praise, Xiao Bai smiled as if coated in honey. Alas! This child is indeed beautiful, but somewhat foolish, so easily delighted by a few compliments. It seems that in dealing with men, one must balance kindness and authority, indulging them in daily life while offering a few words of praise at critical moments.

Oh... I have heard that Master Yun possesses exquisite painting skills. Today, I did not expect to have this fortunate opportunity to catch a glimpse of them. However, where is this painting?" Upon hearing Xiaobai's response, the raccoon cat was not angry but merely cast a sidelong glance at Xiaobai.

Looking down, I saw a raccoon rolling on the ground, one ear covered in blood, howling in agony, a sight too tragic to bear

(2) Extinguishing the fire. Mistaking oil for water

Alright ... ... '' Taking a deep breath `` Xiaobai ... ... Pigeon! ''

Just draw it on the ear! I waved my hand grandly

Present it. A pair of eyes, both enchanting and bewitching, remains.

Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah-choo! In an instant, one ear was completely covered in flying saliva.

(3) Half of the kitchen was burned. The beef was charred to a crisp

Then it will be settled

This country is called "Xiangze Kingdom" due to its intricate waterways (similar to Venice, where all transportation is by boat) and its abundant production of spices, fruits, and honey. The current sovereign's surname is "Zhao," and there are civil and military officials under his rule, including two prime ministers, with the left prime minister being the most esteemed and the right prime minister being the most honored

Hehe! Still so mischievous, not at all like a birthday celebrant. Although the words express disapproval, the expression on the face is quite pleased, as they affectionately pinched my nose.

Experimental subject: Yun Siru

Firstly, I am constantly being drenched in saliva, and Yun Siru has a particular interest in me, greeting me with either a wolf kiss or a bear hug. I know that I am exceptionally attractive, loved by everyone and admired by flowers and greenery alike. However, over time, I suspect that my cause of death will either be drowning in saliva or suffocating. I can no longer remember when my first kiss was ended by him

Because Xiaobai looks the best in a white dress! Rong'er likes it the most!

"I really miss you so much! My dearest, one ear! MUA!" I bent down and warmly embraced the one ear that was napping beside me, giving it a kiss.

"One Ear, it seems you have gained some weight again recently. Come, let your Uncle Rong give you a little pat!" With a mischievous grin, he pinched One Ear's bottom, "If you don't obediently listen to your Uncle Rong, hehehe, I'll take you to meet Chef Zhao's kitchen knife tomorrow..." He wiped away the drool that was about to drip.

I am nine years old, Yun Siru is thirteen years old, the Crown Prince is nineteen years old, and the age of the raccoon cat (pig) is unknown, now renamed "One Ear"

The entire bowl has been completely finished

"No need for formalities, please rise."

Experimental conclusion

Furthermore, the most terrifying aspect was that my grandfather, adhering to the scientific spirit of breastfeeding, insisted that Pavarotti's wet nurse subject me to inhumane torment multiple times a day—tormenting my vision, tormenting my sense of taste

(5) Clear water noodles, sprinkled with chopped green onions

The pig sent by the Crown Prince is said to be a tribute from a foreign land. It is small in size, with round ears, a body that exudes a pinkish sheen, and a peculiar fragrance reminiscent of the Dutch Miniature Pig. The person sent by the Crown Prince said that he wanted me to taste this delicacy. I was so excited that I hugged the little pig tightly, pleading with my father not to send it to the kitchen. My father, surprised, ordered the maid to put away a pile of gold and silver jewelry without even looking at it, but upon seeing the pig, he became excited and cheerfully allowed me to take it back to my residence.

Oh?

A series of sneezes broke the spell, and Yun Siru helplessly shook his head with a faint smile as he ascended the steps, arriving at the center of the water pavilion: "Rong'er, are you well?" His gentle and elegant tone concealed an undeniable concern.

Upon raising my head, I was met with a pair of alluringly narrow eyes, slightly squinted, and that haughty gaze surprisingly evoked a sense of familiarity within me. His thin lips were tightly pressed, revealing his displeasure and impatience at being bumped into. Hmph! So what if he is a bit more handsome? Why act so arrogant! I am the one who was bumped into; if I end up with a flat nose in the future, I will hold you responsible for the cosmetic surgery fees and compensation for emotional distress!

I am 6 years old, Xiao Bai is 10 years old, the Crown Prince is 16 years old, the raccoon (pig) has an unknown age, and the injury is 1 year old

"Alright. However, Aunt must first take Rong'er to the Yunluo Hall, as your father is still waiting for Rong'er to perform the 'Zhua Zhou' ceremony." Aunt gently tapped my nose, holding my hand with one hand and Si Ru's hand with the other, followed by the wet nurse and two little maidservants, all marching grandly towards the Yunluo Hall.

However, wahaha! I have never been a pious person! I firmly believe that a pig only realizes its true value when it is consumed by humans. The reason I do not kill it is that I have a more grandiose goal: children begetting grandchildren, and grandchildren begetting children; children having children, and children having grandchildren; generations upon generations, an endless cycle. One must have long-term plans! The meat of this little piglet... I can feel my mouth watering... wahahaha! (So wicked, no wonder it got choked by the ring =_=)

Among all these gifts, only one item piqued my interest, which is one of the gifts from the raccoon prince—a pig

Dressed in a flowing white robe, with the fabric billowing in the wind, he stands gracefully, his features relaxed. Holding a jade-handled purple brush, he occasionally gazes into the distance and at other times lowers his head to splash ink and create strokes. The silver ribbon binding his hair sways with his movements, sometimes lifting behind his ears and at other times cascading down his fair, translucent cheeks, as if cherishing the delightful sensation, swaying back and forth.

Wow! I don't know what kind of aviation material this clothing is made of, but the ink can actually be wiped off. I couldn't help but search my mind and concluded that it must be made of a material similar to that of raincoats. The fabric is a laminated waterproof and breathable layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), featuring functions such as flame retardant, anti-static, oil and water repellent, easy to clean, and acid and alkali resistant. In short, it is an essential item for home and travel! However, that raccoon really is something, wearing a raincoat and running around on a sunny day, not afraid of being sent to a mental hospital for observation! Just don't blame me for not bringing you food when that happens!

As my father carried me to the octagonal table, it was adorned with a dazzling array of items representing various futures: books, pens, ink, rulers, gold ingots, abacuses, rouge, swords, flutes, chopsticks, silk threads, seals, and more. With a grand gesture, my father summoned Fang Wanyong, who approached from the left side of the hall and stood beside us, while my aunt and Si Ru also came over to sit nearby. Due to my father's embrace, Yun Si Ru temporarily abandoned the idea of washing my mouth with water, wrinkling his nose as he knelt on the stool to look at me. My father affectionately stroked my face and said to me, "Rong'er, do you find joy in these many things? Choose one."

As I opened my drowsy eyes, a tender and adorable face loomed before me, with thick eyelashes fluttering gently against my cheek. Those bright and clear eyes were excitedly fixed on me, while the soft and smooth lips, resembling the cherry jelly of the brand 喜之郎, were slightly pouted, making an effort to smear my face with saliva. Oh, my Goldbach! How is it that I am once again awakened by this method of saliva-induced dreams.

"I am sorry, it is all my brother's fault." Xiao Bai gently rubbed my shoulder that he had hurt.

It was only later that I learned that the father of the doll was actually twenty-six years old, which was far from my initial guess of nineteen.

I listened in a daze, not fully understanding. However, since they spoke so openly in my and Xiaobai's presence, it probably wasn't any state secret. I just noticed that someone as arrogant as the raccoon actually showed a measure of respect when speaking to my father, which clearly indicates that my father is indeed remarkable! My admiration for my father inevitably deepened a few more degrees.

"Alright! Rong'er, take a look, are you satisfied?" Xiao Bai smiled as she turned around, noticing my dazed expression, puzzled, "What is Rong'er looking at?"

The sudden warmth and tenderness enveloping the raccoon cat brought a moment of surprise, which was quickly replaced by a calm demeanor. It glanced at the painting and poem on the ear, raising an eyebrow slightly, "What a wonderful line, 'Wishing to compare the lake of fate to your beauty, light makeup and heavy makeup both suit you well.' A splendid poem! A splendid painting! It seems the beloved consort is quite modest!" Upon hearing the term "beloved consort," Xiao Bai's brow furrowed imperceptibly.

A piercing scream of anguish

Just as Xiao Bai leaned forward to get a clearer view of the poem, I suddenly felt playful and, taking up the brush, aimed it at his face. To my surprise, Xiao Bai, having been trained by my years of practice, nimbly dodged the brush with a swift sidestep. Unwilling to give up, I raised the brush and pursued him.

Have you ever eaten wife cake

I am 2 years old, Yun Siru is 6 years old, the Crown Prince is 12 years old, and the age of the raccoon (pig) is unknown

"Rong'er, is this beef noodle soup?"

"The Crown Princess is young and did not intend to offend His Highness the Crown Prince. I hope His Highness will forgive me!" At this moment, I noticed that my father was also present, standing to the side with his hands clasped and bowing, his expression unclear, his tone flat and without fluctuation—wait a minute, rewind... The Crown Prince is here too? Where? Ah! Could it be the very person I bumped into? No wonder he looks familiar; many years ago, we had a brief encounter, and it was this unfortunate encounter that turned me into the Crown Princess. After so many years, I had almost forgotten that such a person existed.

From this point onward, the favorite fruit of the young master of the Yun family is papaya

A good painting must be complemented by good writing to achieve a harmonious effect. With a flourish of my brush, I inscribed four lines of poetry on the other side of the pig: "The shimmering water is best in clear weather, the mountain hues are also remarkable in the rain. If I were to compare the lake to your imagined beauty, both light makeup and heavy makeup are equally suitable." (I hope the esteemed Su Shi will not be angered back to life.)

"Your Highness, this is all Xiangrong's fault." She lowered her head, acting like a meek little wife, feigning pity

Chef Yun: As long as Miss Liu Six is not allowed in the kitchen, I will brave any danger!

......

However, what is that thing still flying in the sky? Why hasn't it fallen? Confused and perplexed

The sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, casting a sidelong glance at the eunuch: "What do you mean?"

In order to attract more handsome men in the future, I have decided to start practicing my culinary skills

At last, today marks the grand occasion of my Zhua Zhou ceremony. "Father!" Before I even arrived, my voice had already reached the room. With all my might, I dashed into the hall and leaped into the arms of my father, giving him a resounding kiss!

The one that eats grass and produces milk is the sheep; the one that eats and sleeps, and sleeps and eats is the pig

It has been observed that my father only shows a heartfelt smile and a helpless expression when he is facing me. Although he has a baby face, most of the time his smile does not reach his eyes, and when he gets angry, he is cold and stern, making even the hottest summer days feel as if a chilling wind is blowing past my ears. He never shows mercy when it comes to punishment, so ever since I learned to walk, the people in the household have automatically started to use me as an emergency light. I often find myself busy rushing to various disaster sites, assessing the situation, and comforting the people... In short, as soon as I appear, my father's anger level drops sharply. My approachable measures have won me considerable support from both the ruling party and the opposition in the residence of the governor.

"Generally speaking, thank you for your praise, Your Highness! I have always been humble to the point of being almost self-deprecating." I won't let you off easily, you little rascal

Alas, what a pity for a fine arrow

Yun Si Ru, let us play leapfrog! You be the goat

Upon hearing the words, it immediately closed its eyes, kicked its four legs, straightened its body, and gave up struggling, adopting a zombie-like posture. Haha, I knew my one ear was the most sensible!

"Mental labor is indeed exhausting; I have recited this to you a thousand and eight times before you finally resonate with it"

Behold as I draw my bow to shoot the great eagle! A cannon of the world! Level 1 readiness! Level 2 readiness! Launch!

The Yun family began their commercial endeavors in the early years by trading spices, initially being just an ordinary merchant family. It was during my paternal great-grandfather's generation that they started to prosper, gradually monopolizing the national spice trade. My father, disinterested in commerce from a young age, chose to pursue literature, excelling in his studies and entering officialdom. At the age of fifteen, he achieved first place in the imperial examination, thereafter rising swiftly in his career, and by the age of twenty, he was appointed as the Left Chancellor, wielding significant power in the realm

"Your Highness, Rong'er and I are here painting and composing poetry." Just as I was feeling indignant about the tone of the raccoon cat, Xiao Bai answered on my behalf. I don't know if it's my imagination, but I always feel that Xiao Bai harbors some hostility towards the raccoon cat, deliberately emphasizing the name 'Rong'er' when speaking. It's strange; Xiao Bai is usually very amiable, so why does he dislike him so much? It seems that the raccoon cat, an exploitative class that only views others through its nostrils and bladders, truly cannot win the favor of the broad working populace!

"Convey my words, and thank the Crown Princess on my behalf." The tone was calm and unruffled.

Experimental materials: beef, noodles, salt, firewood, oil, chopped green onions

As far as I know, books represent literary figures; pens and ink represent calligraphers, artists, and literati; rulers represent lawmakers, system formulators, and revolutionaries; ingots symbolize wealth; abacuses represent merchants or businesspeople; rouge signifies beauty; swords represent martial artists; flutes represent musicians; chopsticks represent chefs; threads represent seamstresses; seals represent official positions or authority

Tormenting my soul. It would be one thing to face a magnificent F cup all day long, as I could choose to close my eyes, but then I was also made to taste... Oh, my Colombia! Truly a cause for outrage among gods and men! In the first two weeks, I was caught in a vicious cycle of drinking and vomiting, which drove my father to despair! He had Master Fang take my pulse and prescribe medicine for me every day. Master Fang seems to be a jack-of-all-trades; in the Yun residence, when someone falls ill, they never call outside doctors, as Master Fang handles everything himself. It is said that he is also knowledgeable in the arts of the Eight Trigrams and the Five Elements! Many matters of state are also planned and strategized by him. He can even predict astrological phenomena, much like today's weather forecasting stations. The people of the Yun residence are never caught off guard by sudden weather changes, as Master Fang provides a three-day weather forecast every day. Of course, Master Fang has many more functions waiting for us to further develop and utilize... In summary, in one sentence—Master Fang, the universal remedy, applies where it hurts, and it works immediately! Comparing the bitter medicine of the universal remedy to Pavarotti's mother's milk, it is a matter of life and death either way; I finally succumbed to the milk and endured for five months before overthrowing the two towering F cup mountains pressing down on the faces of the working people!

The raccoon cat was momentarily at a loss for words

Everywhere I go, there are decorations and the character for "longevity" is seen everywhere—yes! Today is the first birthday of my beloved Yun Xiangrong! Now, I truly understand that time is relative, not absolute; this past year has been quite challenging for me, and it has felt like a year has passed in a single day

No

"Rong'er, you must not be unreasonable!" Father looked at me helplessly, yet there was a faint smile on his face

"Sprite, quickly go to the study and bring back the ink and brush." After coming here, I miss Zhao Zhongxiang very much! No, I actually miss the original junk food very much, but the chef's skills are limited, and I can't have it. There is no way, so I can only change the names of the servants to the names of my favorite junk foods. When I want to eat, I just call their names and fantasize a bit, hehe

The delicate and ethereal eyebrows, like wisps of smoke, seem to convey both anger and joy through their expressive gaze. The charming and exquisite nose stands tall, while the naturally rosy cherry lips do not require any embellishment. Her skin is as smooth as fine cream, and her cheeks resemble the blush of dawn. With a willow-like waist that can barely be grasped, she leans gracefully against the intricately carved wooden railing of the waterside pavilion. Amidst the shimmering reflections of the water, her beauty, capable of captivating a nation, subtly emerges.

Yunsi Ru, this is the beef noodle soup I cooked, and you are the first to taste it. Grandpa hasn't even tried it yet

"If you call me brother, I will teach you," Yun Siru said, ruffling my hair and smiling indulgently.

Two raccoons, two raccoons, running fast, running fast, one has no tail, one has no ears, how strange! How strange! Not long after, a captivating nursery rhyme began to spread throughout the country of Xiangze, becoming a household name, known in every street and alley!

Of course, the one without a tail is the raccoon prince, and the one without ears is my family's raccoon pig

That is! '' I wiped my mouth disdainfully, shook my head, and stepped forward

This little raccoon truly captures my heart; how does he know that my greatest love is pork! In the past, I was born in the Year of the Pig, and while many beautiful women were shouting slogans about dieting and promoting vegetarianism, I was the only one who stood my ground, consuming three or four portions of pork daily, resolutely supporting the national pig farming industry and contributing to the sustained rapid development of the national economy

The raccoon has an expression that seems to want to laugh but cannot, with its mouth corners twitching slightly. Alas, poor child, if you want to laugh, then laugh! Why wear such a constipated expression? Your suffering is painful for me to witness as well

The Crown Prince took Ji'e, the daughter of the Minister of War, as a concubine

Later on, it was time to learn how to walk. With short arms and legs, along with a soft and squishy body, after a month of effort, I finally evolved from a crawling amphibian (crawling between the bed and the floor) into a bipedal human, achieving a milestone leap from quantity to quality, thus opening a new chapter in history

In order to commemorate its previous owner and express gratitude for his kindness, I have decided to officially name this pig "Raccoon"

Why is it always me who plays the goat

Yun Siru: In the future, one should not only look at the surface of issues

Rong'er misses me? The tone is filled with joy and excitement

Experimental Procedure

Indeed. The Crown Princess has also given this tea an alternative name

Historically, it has been recorded that Yun Siru, the son of the left chancellor of the Xiangze Kingdom, possessed an androgynous beauty and had a fondness for white. Everyone who encountered him was captivated, and henceforth, people often used "Siru" as a metaphor for handsome men

Yun Siru's eyes welled up with moisture as he emotionally accepted the noodles

The Crown Princess has a refined interest, admiring the lake? She speaks neither hurriedly nor slowly, as if inquiring of someone completely unrelated.

"Rong'er..." Xiao Bai's eyes immediately filled with tears, her face slightly flushed, as she slowly opened her arms to embrace.

Haha! It seems that I hit the target!

Yun Siru is my cousin, four years older than me, and the only son of my father's cousin. My father's cousin lost her husband just three months after their marriage, leaving her with an unborn child. My grandfather, feeling pity for the two of them who were left alone and helpless, brought them to live at the Yun residence. My grandfather had four wives and concubines, and he had six daughters, of which only three survived, as the others all died young, resulting in a sparse family. Therefore, he adopted his cousin's son and renamed him "Yun Siru".

Hmm! Accumulated labor leads to illness. I rubbed my reddened nose and blew it.

Sure! As long as Rong'er likes it, not to mention one piece, even ten pieces, brother will paint for Rong'er.

Why are there three mothers? Because my poor mother died of excessive bleeding after giving birth to me, ultimately succumbing to the loss of blood; it is said that beautiful women often have short lives. When my father heard the report from the servant, he did not even raise his head, merely uttering indifferently, "Give the Fourth Lady a grand burial!" This made me wary of his cold-heartedness and fickleness, truly—cast aside like an abandoned item, the affection severed midway. I do not know what other families in this country are like, but at least in the Yun Xiang residence, the status of women is not high, and the family discipline is strict. Aside from important festivals, I hardly see the other three mothers and my two sisters. During the day, my father attends court, and at dinner, it is usually just me, my aunt, Yun Siru, the First Lady Langyue (the young woman I saw on the day I was born), and Master Fang dining with my father; the other ladies probably eat in their own courtyards.

Why is it 'Xiao Bai Ge'?

To capture a man's heart is to capture his stomach

Yun Siru paid his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince! Behind him, Xiao Bai clasped his hands in a salute, neither servile nor overbearing, and performed a bow.

Focusing on the lines and words, detached and indifferent

Holding a paper umbrella, I strolled leisurely to the edge of the Yuan Lake. The first scene that came into view was such a tranquil and beautiful picture, which made me stop in my tracks, captivated by its charm.

"Weige." The eunuch replied respectfully, bowing his head and bending his waist.

Hahaha! Good, good, good! Truly worthy of being the daughter of Yun Shuixin! Father laughed heartily, his chest rumbling with joy, and I gazed longingly at his rare bright and cheerful smile! Master Fang, my aunt, all the mothers, sisters, and the servants were all laughing so hard that they were shaking like flowers (an idiom, indeed)! Yun Siru looked at me with admiration, saying, "You are so impressive, little sister"

Your Highness, have you not heard the term 'closing the moon and shaming the flowers'?" He glanced disdainfully at the raccoon, humph!

But, "Achoo! Achoo! Achoo! ... ..."

I am four years old, Yun Siru is eight years old, the Crown Prince is fourteen years old, and the age of the raccoon (pig) is unknown

How could I not! I miss your delicate skin, the smooth touch that makes me unable to let go; I miss your sparkling eyes, the deep gaze that draws me in; I miss your tender lips, the slightly pouted shape that makes me long to taste your sweetness... Ah! I miss you so much!" I opened my arms wide with enthusiasm

The Zhua Zhou ceremony concluded in an atmosphere of joy and harmony. Subsequently, the Emperor and Empress sent a pair of jade ruyi, a rainbow skirt presented by the Western Luo Kingdom, which I estimate I will not be able to wear until I am ten years old, along with several pieces of jewelry. Other officials and concubines also sent congratulatory gifts, which were nothing but gold, silver, agate, jade, and glass. I was dazzled by the sight.

As I gently turned my head from my grandfather's embrace, I saw Master Fang looking at me with a face full of joy and affection. In return, I made a silly face at him, and he shook his head in resignation, letting out a light laugh.

"Oh? What trouble is there for Rong'er?" Xiao Bai held my hand, preventing me from continuing to torment my own nose. Xiao Bai's hand was very warm, perfectly enveloping my entire hand, and the comforting touch, akin to a spring breeze, gradually calmed me down without my realizing it

... ...

Xiao Bai, caught between laughter and tears, picked up the raccoon and carefully applied medicine to its left ear, which I had shot off, and bandaged it. From that moment on, whenever the raccoon saw me draw my bow, it would undoubtedly flee; henceforth, the raccoon regarded Xiao Bai as its benefactor. Whenever Xiao Bai arrived, it would immediately leap forward to greet him warmly, almost as if it were offering itself in gratitude.

Indeed

An ear, not understanding what we were doing, saw my fierce and intimidating appearance and thought I was going to catch it and take it to the kitchen, so it was scared and ran away. As a result, in the water pavilion, a man, a woman, and a pig were joyfully chasing and playfully hitting each other.

"Why only take the ink and brush? Without paper, where can I let the child draw?" Hehe! I grabbed one of the ears that was trying to sneak away at the side. The ear, oblivious to its fate, struggled desperately in my embrace, foolishly hoping to escape.

I am 3 years old, Yun Siru is 7 years old, the Crown Prince is 13 years old, and the age of the raccoon (pig) is unknown

Both painting and poetry are present here, please take a look and provide your guidance, Your Highness! I caught an ear and stuffed it into the raccoon's embrace.

As soon as my father spoke, I realized that I was leaning on the Crown Prince's chest, with both hands supporting his torso. One person was looking up, while the other was casting a downward glance, creating a rather ambiguous posture. I quickly withdrew my hands, slightly bent my knees, and placed my hands together at my left waist to perform a bow, saying, "I wish to pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Long live Your Highness!"

"Alas, good medicine is bitter to the mouth but beneficial to the disease." Yun Siru sighed, reaching out to gather the shoulder of the lovely person beside him. He understood in his heart that only when Xiangrong had a request of him would she call him brother, would she approach him as gently as a cat. Although he knew she had ulterior motives, he was still willing to indulge, only wishing to shield her from the wind and rain throughout his life, silently guarding her. However, thinking that next year Xiangrong would enter the palace, his heart became chaotic, and his hands unconsciously tightened.

After that, the raccoon sat in the water pavilion for about half an hour, discussing some matters of state with his father

"Xiao Bai is truly beautiful." I blurted out, still not fully returned to my senses.

Aunt's hands are very light and soft, carrying the scent of my mother. I affectionately nuzzled against them and smiled broadly (even though there are only five teeth = ). "Aunt, it's time to eat."

One ear woke up from a nightmare, looking up at Yun Siru's face, which was filled with a sense of loss, a hint of jealousy, and shifting shades of blue and purple reflecting the changing weather. Then, it glanced at Yun Xiangrong, who was excitedly embracing it, feeling a chill and an inexplicable sense of confusion.
