[R18] (Quickly wear it) Baby, you are with the wrong person – Chapter 663 of “(Quickly Wear) Baby You Are with the Wrong Person” [English]

☆. The princess married until 16

Yao Ji ordered someone to call Xiao Liu’er. Xiao Liu’er was born thin and became an eunuch when he was only half a year old. He shed tears all the time. When he saw her, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: “Please have mercy on the Crown Princess, please have mercy on the Crown Princess. Don’t let me go. I will do my best to serve the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.”

But Yao Ji couldn’t do it. Shu Zhan said he wanted to expel people, so he must do so.

She said softly: “Don’t cry, take your time and listen to me. You can’t stay in the East Palace any longer. I’ll have someone put you in the Kanghua Palace as an errand.”

This Kanghua Hall is where the princes live before they leave the palace and open a mansion when they reach the age of ten. Working there is a leisurely and well-oiled life, and the palace is so packed with people that it’s hard to get there.

Before Xiao Liuer could thank him, Yao Ji said again: “I just have something to ask you. Why did the prince expel you?”

“My slave, I don’t know…” Probably because he was afraid that Yao Ji would be angry, Xiao Liuer hurriedly explained, “My slave, I really don’t know. The prince was fine before this morning. I served the prince for breakfast, and the prince said he was going to play ball in the garden…” He racked his brains to recall, as if he suddenly thought of something, he was startled, “My slave, I gave the prince a grasshopper.”

“Grasshopper?”

“Yes…” Xiao Liuer, probably a little embarrassed, said, “The prince had a grasshopper that he liked very much. It fell into the water and lost it, so I picked up the grass leaves and made a new one.”

In fact, in addition to grasshoppers, there are also grass crickets, grass goldfish, grass rabbits… There is a box full of grasshoppers, all hidden under Xiao Liuer’s pillow.

“I heard that… the prince’s future is coming…” He lowered his head, seeming to understand that such an act of transgression was what got him into trouble, “I’m sorry, the princess, but I’m a lowly person and shouldn’t be overstepping my bounds.”

Yao Ji felt something was wrong. Did Shu Zhan really feel that a eunuch should not be courteous to her, so he got angry and wanted to kick Xiao Liu’er out?Regardless of the fact that a four-year-old child does not yet have such a strict concept of dignity, even if he is not stupid, subconsciously, Yao Ji does not think this is the reason.

“Xiao Liu’er,” she softened her voice, “tell me, why did you send the prince grasshoppers? You didn’t want to please him, right?”

“Servant, slave…” Xiao Liu’er’s head fell on the ground, maybe because of fear, or maybe because of something else, his voice trembled, and even his body began to tremble, “I dare not say it.”

But in the end, he still said it, his words were high-pitched and trilled, like a sob: “Before I entered the palace, I had a younger brother, slave… who would always play with him.”

At dusk that day, the wind suddenly picked up.

Yao Ji gathered her big cloak and walked out of the palace. In the silhouette under the sunset, the eaves and corners of the majestic pavilions in the East Palace seemed to have melted, dragging out the twilight that was about to fall silent in the dusk.

The young man stood under the ginkgo tree, fluttering leisurely, and a leaf fell down.He was holding a grasshopper in his hand, and he seemed to have been playing with it for a long time. When he heard someone coming, he threw the grasshopper to the ground without any hesitation.

“Your Highness,” Yao Ji didn’t pay attention to the indifference of He turning around and leaving, and followed him, “Your Highness’s Qianqiu is coming soon. What birthday gift does Your Highness want?”

Shu Zhan ignored her and walked forward faster.

“If you don’t like the birthday ceremony, if your Highness has any wish, if I can fulfill it, I will try my best to help His Highness fulfill it.”

“There will be a banquet in the palace on the Qianqiu Festival. I believe Your Highness will also be able to see your uncle and aunt.”

“Are you annoyed?” Shu Zhan suddenly stopped, he turned around, impatience written all over his face, “I don’t want a birthday gift, and I have no wishes, so don’t bother me,” he said coldly, like a willful and annoying child, “I hate birthdays.”

Why do you hate birthdays?Even the most ignorant children will like a happy and carefree birthday.

On the day of the Qianqiu Festival, Yao Ji was in the back hall and just took a peek through the screen.Shu Zhan sat on the magnificent throne, accepting the congratulatory messages and prayers from the clan officials. There was nothing around him, only the cold, intangible air.

She returned to the back hall and found a small box among the dazzling birthday gifts in the room.

It was sent in by Mrs. Fang. Although the prince’s uncle is not the same as an ordinary son-in-law, the Fang family still prepared birthday gifts for both the man and the woman as usual.The man’s birthday gift had been presented before the Qianqiu Festival, while the woman’s birthday gift was presented to Mrs. Fang and Yao Ji’s sisters-in-law when they entered the palace on the day of the banquet.

Several women from the Fang family embroidered a whole set of ten-thousand-word birthday greetings for more than a month. Thinking of how much effort the family had put into it, Yao Ji felt helpless: “Auntie, why is this necessary? The prince doesn’t care about this either.”

Even so, the etiquette must not be lost.” Thinking of her daughter’s uncertain marriage life and the things she couldn’t say in front of a third person, Mrs. Fang turned around and said, “By the way, the prince’s nanny asked us to bring this box in.”

“Nanny?”

Only then did Yao Ji know that Shu Zhan’s wet nurse had begged the Fang family and asked them to send the birthday gift to the East Palace.

Seeing her daughter’s surprised look, Mrs. Fang said: “Don’t say it was you. When I heard about it, I thought it was unbelievable. Even if this wet nurse who nursed the prince was not an old lord at home like the holy lady, how could she be reduced to the point where she could not even touch the entrance to the East Palace.After asking, I found out that Mrs. Lu was kicked out of the palace when the prince was ten years old.”

“After she left the palace, her life was not good. Fortunately, the Kong family still provided some support from time to time.She is a kind person and has always cared about the prince, but for so many years, the East Palace has never paid attention to him when he asked to see him. She prepares a birthday gift for the prince every year. It used to be given by the Tuokong family, but this year it was given to our family.”

With that said, Mrs. Fang opened the box: “I looked carefully. They are some clothes and shoes. I haven’t seen them for so many years. I don’t know whether the prince’s clothes fit him. Regardless of whether the prince likes them or not, it is the old lady’s wish to tell the prince at least.”

She unfolded the clothes and handed them to Yao Ji. Compared with the exquisite and gorgeous materials in the palace, this clothes was just made of ordinary cotton, but the stitching was as fine as weaving. Holding it in her hand, she could feel the tenderness.

Somehow, Yao Ji thought of the grasshopper thrown to the ground by Shu Zhan.She folded the clothes and put them back into the box carefully: “Mom, can you tell me about the old lady?”

Mrs. Fang was stunned. Although she thought her daughter’s request was strange, she still recalled it carefully: “…the old lady didn’t talk much. When I chatted with her, nine out of ten sentences she said were about the prince…”

That was already eleven years ago. Speaking of which, Shu Zhan’s life history was not complicated.

He was born in Qiandi, which is now Gyeongbokgung Palace. At that time, because Emperor Yuan Guang was still the Prince of Jin, it was still the Palace of the Prince of Jin.He was the first child of Emperor Yuan Guang, and he was a legitimate son. When he was born, even the late emperor was alarmed and personally named him Zhan.

It’s just that Emperor Yuan Guang didn’t like Shu Zhan, nor did he like the woman who gave birth to his child, his head wife Queen Xianyi.In the year when Shu Zhan was born, Emperor Yuan Guang almost couldn’t wait to welcome the love of his life, his cousin Li, into the house.

From then on, the unfavored princess was completely left out. In that palace, the princess’s small courtyard seemed to have become an isolated place. Liveliness, laughter, joy… had nothing to do with them.
