Chapter 21 Not only cute, but also smart
The queen lowered her eyelashes and quietly looked at the red maple leaf in Xia Baoer's hand for a while.
After a moment, she reached out and took it.
"The Ninth Princess has given me something, and I cannot accept it in vain."
The queen said, turning to look at the maid beside her: "Ziyu, take out the Hetian jade wolf-hair pen that I brought and give it to the ninth princess."
The palace maid named Ziyu was stunned and felt a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, this is the good jade you found specially, and you plan to give it to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Ninth Princess is still young, how can she use the pen?"
The queen looked solemn and spoke calmly: "The prince has no intention of studying knowledge, so I would be a waste of natural resources by giving it to him."
Everyone looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who was distracted and fell silent.
Everyone knows that the relationship between the queen and the prince, mother and son, is not good.
When Ziyu held the box and handed it to Xia Bao'er, she waved her little hand: "Queen, Bao'er can't write."
The queen was a little surprised: "You are already three years old, and Huigui has not taught you some simple "Three Character Classic" yet?"
Xia Baoer raised her face and blinked her moist grape eyes: "What is the Three Character Classic?"
The queen looked at Ziyu, who understood and arranged for two eunuchs to move the low table.
The queen took out the Langhao pen made of fine Hetian jade and handed it to Xia Baoer: "Can you write your own name?"
Xia Baoer couldn't hold the pen with one small hand, so he had to hold the pen with two hands and draw a few horizontal lines crookedly.
The queen shook her head: "I will teach you."
She squatted down from the chair, held Xia Baoer's little body in her arms, held her little hand and taught her to write her name one stroke at a time.
Xia Baoer has an extremely pleasant milky scent, and her speech is soft and waxy.
When her name was written out, Xia Baoer pointed at the name and was a little happy: "This is Baoer's name. Baoer saw her mother writing it before."
Eunuch Chunshou on the side reminded him with a straight face: "How dare you, Ninth Princess, in front of the Queen, you can only call Concubine Hui Gui the mother concubine."
Xia Baoer was startled by his sudden voice and subconsciously shrank into the queen's arms.
Her figure is thin and delicate, like a willow leaf, leaning tightly on the queen's arms. The queen's heart seemed to be grasped by a soft little hand.
She picked up Xia Baoer and scolded her softly: "Chunshou, please don't be rude. Stop waiting here and go down."
Chun Shou left unwillingly.
The queen also asked the master to bring the "Three Character Classic" and teach Xia Baoer to read it word for word.
Xia Baoer sat on her lap and studied very seriously.
Xiao Naiyin read along, imitating the way Master just read, shaking her head, her two little buns with fluffy hair on their temples were particularly cute.
She is very smart, and she can memorize it just by reading it once.
Except for the enunciation being unclear at times, everything else is almost perfect.
The queen was overjoyed.
It was much easier to worry about than when she was teaching the prince.
The queen smiled and praised: "It turns out that the ninth princess is not only cute, but also very smart."
She was about to teach her to write again, but suddenly she felt dizzy.
The queen frowned, closed her eyes and pressed her temples tightly.
Xia Baoer blinked his big eyes and looked at the queen's expression in confusion, as if she was in pain.
Ziyu on the side hurriedly took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve: "Quick, my wife has an old habit. Take the pills first."
The queen drank a brown pill with water.
But the pulsating pain of tearing is still in my mind. Every time I take the medicine, it doesn't take effect immediately, and I have to endure the pain for a while.
Suddenly, a pair of soft little hands gently pressed on her temples.
