After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 284 Hug
Niu Niu didn't understand why the eldest daughter of the Xianguo Mansion, who was a noble and pampered family, was so envious of her.
Qin Jingshu forced a smile, shook her head and said, "Maybe I held him when he was a child, but now he's grown up and it's not convenient..."

Niuniu frowned and whispered, "But we are still children now."

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she almost cried again.

What Niu Niu cares most about is the love of her family. She looked at Qin Jingshu and felt a little distressed. After hesitating for a moment, she moved closer to her, stretched out her two chubby arms, and hugged Qin Jingshu.

"Okay, okay, I'll hug you!" said Niu Niu.

Qin Jingshu wanted to say that she didn't want a hug, but she didn't move. She just couldn't bear to leave such a warm embrace and was reluctant to withdraw for a long time.

"What are you two doing hiding here?" Shen Ling's voice suddenly rang out. Seeing the two little girls staying in the rockery, she couldn't help but came over to take a look.

Qin Jingshu hurriedly separated from Niu Niu.

"I...I..." Qin Jingshu didn't know how to explain.

Niuniu turned around and asked Shen Ling without explaining: "Sister Ling, do you want me to hug you? Everyone likes my hug so much!"

Shen Ling didn't care about Qin Jingshu's strangeness. He came over with a smile and picked up Niu Niu.

"Ouch! My dear, you are so heavy!" Shen Ling joked with a smile.

Niuniu said frankly: "Because I've been eating well recently, so I gained weight!"

After Shen Ling put Niu Niu down, he picked up Qin Jingshu who was beside him.

Qin Jingshu didn't expect Shen Ling to hug her. She thought Shen Ling hugged Niu Niu because she had a good relationship with Niu Niu.

"Jingshu is the same age as you, but she is much younger than you." Shen Ling said with a smile.

Niu Niu was not angry when she heard this, but smiled and winked at Qin Jingshu.

Qin Jingshu didn't like her thin appearance, but in this dynasty thinness was considered beautiful. Whenever she wanted to eat a few more bites, there would always be a servant who jumped out to stop her.

She knew that these people were her mother's people, and her mother was afraid that she would gain weight and not conform to the royal aesthetic.

Shen Ling said again: "Have you had enough fun here? There are some cakes you like outside, do you want to fill your stomach first?"

Niu Niu looked at Qin Jingshu and saw that her face became tense again when she heard that she was going out.

"Sister Ling, we like playing in the rockery, but I'm a little hungry. I'll go out with you to get some food and I'll be back soon!" said Niu Niu.

Shen Ling looked around the rockery in confusion: "What's there to play with here?"

When Qin Jingshu heard this question, she immediately became nervous, fearing that Niuniu would let the cat out of the bag.

But Niuniu said: "This is a secret between me and Sister Qin!"

Shen Ling reached out and tapped Niuniu's nose: "My dear, you're not on good terms with me anymore, and you're actually hiding a little secret from me!"

Niuniu came forward and held Shen Ling's hand: "Sister Ling and I have other secrets too! I have a lot of secrets, sister, take me to see what delicious food there is!"

Shen Ling didn't ask any more questions. He took Niu Niu's soft little hand and returned to the poetry meeting. Then he took a plate and took Niu Niu to pick up pastries everywhere as if they were at a buffet.

A group of noble ladies looked at Niu Niu, who was as cute as a snowball. The little girl had big, bright eyes and her gaze was fixed on the pastries on the table. They just thought she was some kind of extremely cute little animal.

"This! Fresh flower pastry! Give her two pieces, they are delicious!"

"Hey, this! My white jade roll is delicious too!"

A group of noble ladies chatted at once, all wanting to pass the cakes in front of them to Niu Niu. It was the first time for them to find feeding children so interesting. When Niu Niu returned to the rockery, she was holding a plate full of cakes.

"Eat quickly! My sisters gave it to me!" Niu Niu placed a plate of food in front of Qin Jingshu as if she were presenting a treasure.

Qin Jingshu swallowed her saliva, but still shook her head and said, "My mother doesn't agree with me eating more..."

Niuniu said, "Eat less in front of your mother. She can't control you if she's not around. It's okay. Eat!"

After Niu Niu finished speaking, she picked up a piece of cake and started eating.

"It's delicious! Who made this? It's better than the white jade rolls I had in the past!" Niu Niu wanted to swallow her own fingers.

Qin Jingshu took a look at the cakes on the plate and said, "It should be the cakes from Baiweifang. Their cakes are made very delicately and taste better than those from the Imperial Kitchen."

Qin Jingshu obviously wanted to explain something to Niu Niu, but after talking for a few more words, her saliva started to water more and more. She recalled the wonderful taste of the pastry and couldn't help herself. She stretched out her hand and prepared to pick up a piece through the handkerchief.

Niuniu frowned and looked at her: "Your handkerchief is full of tears. Don't you feel that the cakes are very salty when you eat them?"

Qin Jingshu:......

But Qin Jingshu couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart if she was asked to take the pastries directly with her hands like Niu Niu did.

Niuniu took away her handkerchief, looked at Qin Jingshu's helpless expression, and said, "Hold it with your hands!"

Qin Jingshu shook her head with a troubled look on her face: "Girls can't eat with their hands."

Niuniu was puzzled: "What about eating fruit? Don't you eat fruit with your hands? Don't you hold it in your hands?"

Qin Jingshu said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Someone cut the fruit for you to eat, and you can eat it with a fork. Besides, I can't eat too much fruit."

Niu Niu widened her eyes in disbelief.

Qin Jingshu said with an embarrassed look: "I am too nosy, but this is how my family has always taught me."

Niuniu rolled her eyes and said, "Young ladies are not allowed to eat with their hands, but we are in the rockery now, it's different. You are Sister Qin now, not Miss Qin, so you can eat with your hands."

When Qin Jingshu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Those who have been suppressed for a long time cannot help but tremble with excitement when they have the chance to resist, even if it is very small.

"It's just a piece of cake, don't be nervous." Niu Niu reminded.

Qin Jingshu forced herself to calm down. At this time, she was still thinking about what her mother had taught her: when faced with great events, one should remain calm and composed like a mountain.

Qin Jingshu suddenly didn't want to stay calm anymore. She reached out to grab the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Delicious! Really delicious!" Qin Jingshu couldn't help laughing while eating.

She was laughing when she suddenly shuddered.

"Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping! Who told you to smile so shallowly? Even if you smile, the corners of your mouth cannot be too big. A shallow smile is best..." Lady Xian's words kept echoing in Qin Jingshu's ears.

Qin Jingshu lowered her head, and after a moment, she swallowed the pastry, and as if on purpose, she gave Niu Niu an extremely exaggerated smile.

"Niuniu, can I have another piece?" Qin Jingshu was used to asking.

Niuniu frowned and said, "Sister Qin, I brought it here to share with you. Of course you can eat whatever you want. If you want to eat, just eat it... Don't give me a fake smile..."
