The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Ci'an Palace

The Queen came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, "The daughter-in-law pays her respects to the Queen Mother."

"Hurry up and come sit over here." The Queen Mother grabbed the Queen's hand and rubbed it. "Well, her complexion is getting better and better. It seems that the girl still has some ability. Didn't you say that you can skip the morning and evening visits? Why is she here again?"

The Queen had someone present the brocade box. "The third child just came back from Wan'an Valley and brought back some gifts. They were little trinkets carved by the little girl herself. I thought that the Queen Mother liked this girl, so I immediately sent it to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother didn't say anything. She was old, but not confused. She still remembered whether she liked Bai Yimeng or not.

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not move, the Queen enthusiastically opened the brocade box, which contained a pair of red jade ruyi of normal size, all scarlet without any other colors. One was exquisitely carved with a pair of dragons playing with a pearl, and the other was carved with a phoenix wearing a peony.

The Queen Mother took a quick glance and asked, "Was this carved by Princess Sui'an?"

"Is this true? How dare the Third Brother lie to you?"

"He doesn't dare, but someone else does." The Queen Mother sighed, "No matter what, she is thoughtful. It's good that she thinks of me. Okay, Cui'er, put the pair of Ruyi in my bedroom."

The Queen Mother suddenly noticed the red jade bracelet on the Queen's wrist. The bracelet was engraved with auspicious clouds and precious beads, and was inlaid with gems. "Did she make this too?"

"Yes, mother. The third brother said that he can guarantee that all of them were carved by Princess Sui'an herself. Otherwise, mother, have you ever seen such craftsmanship? I'm afraid that the housekeepers don't have this technology.

Mother, have you noticed that the pair of red jade ruyi that the little girl gave you are infused with vanilla, which not only repels mosquitoes but also strengthens your physical constitution and soothes your mind.

I heard from the third brother that this bracelet of mine also contains some herbs that can calm the mind. If your mother doesn't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to come and make an appraisal."

The Queen Mother did not disbelieve it, but she found it too unbelievable. She called for Nanny Cui to bring the jade ruyi, and asked the little maid to ask for the imperial physician.

Imperial Physician Sun made an appraisal and his conclusion was exactly the same as what the Queen said.

This matter naturally alarmed Emperor Chengde. When Emperor Chengde saw the jade ruyi that was bigger than his face, he felt sick.

When Emperor Chengde heard the imperial physician say that the jade ruyi contained herbs that were beneficial to the body, he felt jealous.

"Your Majesty, the little girl gave you some treasure. Please take it out and let the imperial physician have a look."

Emperor Chengde's face flushed, "Mother, the little girl didn't know that the third brother and his family were going, so naturally she didn't prepare too many gifts. I will make up for it when she returns to the capital."

"Impossible. His Majesty loves the little girl the most. The little girl is not an ignorant child. She must have prepared a very expensive gift for His Majesty." The Queen Mother did not notice the abnormality on her son's face. She was immersed in her own pair of jade ruyi and how beautiful and exquisite they were.

Emperor Chengde said with a bitter face, "Mother, please stop teasing your son. The little girl has no conscience. She just gave me such a little toy. I love her in vain."

Emperor Chengde threw the little Ruyi in his hand carelessly on the table. Doctor Sun walked forward and looked at it carefully. "My goodness, Your Majesty, this is a rare treasure that only appears once in a century. It's a pity to carve it into a handicraft. Such a small thing can be said to be priceless and rare in a century." Doctor Sun was so excited that he spoke incoherently, repeating the four words "rarely seen in a century".

The Queen Mother walked forward and looked at the little thing. "Isn't it just a piece of red jade?"

"Your Majesty, this is not red jade, it is blood jade Ganoderma lucidum. It looks like jade but is actually Ganoderma lucidum. This is a very precious item.

Whenever you have a headache or a fever, just soak this little thing in water and you will recover. What's more amazing is that this little thing can detoxify, so it can also prevent anyone from doing harm to Your Majesty.

But how can such a precious thing be made into a hand-held item? Although it is good, it is a bit of a waste of resources. "

Doctor Sun looked at the palm-sized gadget and almost cried out of heartache. He secretly complained in his heart: What a waste, such a good treasure is carved, what a waste.

The Queen Mother smiled and fumbled for the small item, "Your Majesty, you still say that the little girl has no conscience? I'm afraid you won't be able to find this thing even if you take the initiative to look for it.

The little girl is very careful. She made this treasure into a piece of jewelry. No one would think of its value. It was really hard for this child to save your life at the critical moment. "

"Your Majesty is right. It was my son who misunderstood the little girl." Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengde laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "How could my son understand these things? He is not even the third child. He didn't explain clearly and only said that this was red jade and asked me to play with it. He also lied to me that the little girl carved it when she was bored while soaking in the medicinal spring."

"Yes, this is Hongyu. Your Majesty, the third son is right, and the little girl is also right." The old empress dowager squeezed her son's hand. The mother and son understood each other and smiled at each other.

Wan'an Valley

Bai Yimeng complained while soaking in the medicinal spring, "Second Brother, I'm about to get fat. I feel like I've been swollen these past few days. Look, my face has gotten fatter."

"You eat too much and exercise too little. I'll take you to the mountains in a few days, and you'll lose weight in a few days." Su Xiaobei liked to tease Bai Yimeng at this time, "Xiao Qi, look what this is, a candied haws.

Fifth Brother just bought it. Smell it and it tastes delicious. Oh, how could I forget this? You can’t eat this when you are soaking in the medicinal spring. Let me try it for you.”

Eating all her favorite food in front of a foodie is simply too hateful. Bai Yimeng cried loudly, "Stinky Xiaoliu, you are so annoying, I will never talk to you again."

Bai Yimeng got anxious and suddenly jumped out of the spring, stepped on the water surface with his toes, and slid to grab the candied haws.

"It has to be food. I have been teaching you this trick for so many days, but you just couldn't learn it. Now you can snatch food from Xiaoliu in no time. Xiaoqi, you are really promising.

Go and do the horse stance for me. If you can't do it well, you won't be allowed to eat dinner. The master is not here, I am the eldest, you should go quickly. Otherwise, I will ask Xiaoliu to buy candied haws every day, and I won't give them to you. "

Lu Yikuan felt helpless facing this junior sister. It was obvious that she was not smart and just didn't work hard.

Bai Yimeng pouted and stood on the wooden stake in horse stance. In fact, she did not lose out, she saved Tanghulu and did not need to soak in the medicinal spring. Even if she stood in horse stance for a whole night, it was worth it.

"Master has come out of seclusion!" Luo Jingran's voice came from not far away.

Bai Yimeng somersaulted over, took out the candied haws from his mouth, turned around, made a face at Lu Yikuan and Su Xiaobei, and ran to see his master.

"Zhenpi, Second Brother, are you going to beat her up? If you want to beat her up, I'll help you."

"Hmph, you can't beat her, and you want to trick me into joining the game, but I won't fall for it. Neither of you is a good person. I'm going to see my master, and I don't have time to argue with you." Lu Yikuan quickly crossed the wooden stakes and ran away. In the room of Long Guzhu, Bai Yimeng and Luo Jingran were kneeling.

"You two, get up. Master is fine now. Why are you crying? It's unlucky." Master Longgu helped his two disciples up.

Bai Yimeng hugged the Dragon Valley Master and sobbed, "Master, it's all Xiaoqi's fault that you seriously injured your vitality, and you had to sacrifice your life to save me. I'm sorry, Master..."

"If you really love your master, then don't cry. Your crying will make your master feel very uncomfortable.

Well, isn't it time for dinner? I'm hungry. Can you help me to eat?" Dragon Valley Master took out a handkerchief and wiped Bai Yimeng's tears. "You're so old and still crying. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
