A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 448: Wearing It for the Whole Day
Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Wearing It for the Whole Day
Upon hearing this, Prince Yi was quite surprised. He wanted to inquire further, but as a subject, he knew when to stop. Yet, not pursuing the matter left him feeling restless.
Empress Dowager Xiao didn’t think it was a big deal. Even if she didn’t mention it here, Prince Yi would find out once he left the Palace and returned to his Prince’s Mansion.
So, she said, "It’s nothing much. It’s just that early this morning, everyone in Capital City was saying that a phoenix has perched at Qixia Temple. Many ladies of the nobility are planning to bring their unmarried daughters to pray and seek blessings there!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I do know of Qixia Temple. I visited it when I was young. On the back hill of the Temple, there is a tall, large phoenix tree. It is said that phoenixes perch on phoenix trees. Could that be the reason?"
Empress Dowager Xiao was surprised to hear this. "Is that so? I had no idea. If that’s the case, then why did the great phoenix land in my Cining Palace upon appearing, instead of heading to Qixia Temple?"
Prince Yi also found this reasoning sound. Just as he was about to say something more, he saw Xiaosuisui running over with a pitter-patter, holding two large Golden Chrysanthemums she had plucked. She then climbed into Empress Dowager Xiao’s arms.
Empress Dowager Xiao didn’t think much of it and simply held her up. Xiaosuisui stood on Empress Dowager Xiao’s lap and reached up to place one of the flowers on the Empress Dowager.
Prince Yi was stunned. Just as he was about to scold her for her lack of manners, he saw the little one handing the other flower to him!
"Grandpa Prince, for you!" she said.
Prince Yi’s heart gave a lurch, and he involuntarily pointed to his own face.
"For... for me?"
Prince Yi was so stunned he could barely speak clearly.
Xiaosuisui nodded, saying delightedly, "Put it on, Grandpa Prince. You’ll be beautiful!"
Prince Yi instinctively wanted to refuse. But then he heard Xiaosuisui add, "Grandma looks super pretty wearing it! Grandpa Prince will definitely look super pretty too!"
So, as if possessed, Prince Yi put the large, yellow Golden Chrysanthemum on his head.
The Palace Maids and Eunuchs standing to the side were astounded.
This... divine maneuver by the Princess... Has it completely seared our eyes or what?
"This... Prin... Princess, you should keep such a beautiful Chrysanthemum for yourself. For the Empress Dowager and Prince Yi..."
Nanny Xiao struggled to find the right words.
This is just too much to bear witness to, isn’t it?
"Does Nanny want to wear a pretty flower too? So pretty! Suisui will pick one for you!"
As Xiaosuisui spoke, she hopped out of Empress Dowager Xiao’s arms on her short legs, ran to pick a large Golden Chrysanthemum, and brought it to Nanny Xiao. She reached out to put it on Nanny Xiao, but Nanny Xiao was too tall, and she couldn’t reach. So, she said,
"Nanny, please bend down."
Nanny Xiao obediently bent down, surprisingly allowing Xiaosuisui to place the flower on her.
"Beautiful!" Xiaosuisui’s sweet, childlike voice echoed in the Imperial Garden, and she clapped her little hands.
She then asked the Palace Maids and Eunuchs standing nearby, "Look, isn’t Nanny beautiful?"
The Palace Maids and Eunuchs hurriedly clapped along. "Beautiful!"
With a PATTER-PATTER-PATTER, Xiaosuisui ran off to pluck more Chrysanthemums. She gave one to each person, whether Eunuch or Palace Maid; no one was left out.
"Everyone put one on! Look super pretty! And you have to wear it all day long!"
Hearing this, Prince Yi, who had just recovered from his shock and was about to remove the Chrysanthemum from his head, suddenly froze.
This child’s words...
After all, Prince Yi was a man of considerable age and experience, a second-generation imperial descendant who had defended border cities for decades, and he had many capable individuals under his command.
"What’s wrong with her words?" Empress Dowager Xiao asked Prince Yi, puzzled. She then immediately called Xiaosuisui over to stand before her, examining the child from head to toe.
