Chapter 384: Unexpected Horse Fright

"Madam, should we inform the palace about Master Li's injury?"

Listening to the question from her personal maid, Concubine Xian nodded: "It's impossible to hide something like this, so I'd better send someone to tell them."

"But if this happens, I'm afraid Prince Jing's Mansion will vent their anger on Niu Niu." The personal maid said worriedly.

The personal maid also knew what was in Concubine Xian's heart. Naturally, she wanted to have a child of her own. Concubine Xian now placed all her hopes on Niu Niu.

If Niu Niu is not living well, how can she help the virtuous concubine to get pregnant?

"It's okay. Even if the sky falls, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are here to hold it up. Prince Jing's Mansion sent his son to the palace to compete for the throne. If they were sensible, they would not offend the Empress Dowager because of this minor injury." Concubine Xian did not take today's little episode seriously.

Because the notification was timely, within an hour, the palace sent someone to deliver a sign into the palace.

The palace was in the wrong for not taking good care of the children. Near noon, the Crown Prince's wife had already entered the palace.

The palaces also exempted the Crown Princess from paying respects, allowing her to go and check on her youngest son as soon as possible.

"My goodness, how did you get hit like this?"

Li Xuan is the youngest son of the Crown Princess. He has always been spoiled at home and at this moment he is held in the arms of the Crown Princess.

Li Xuan struggled for a while, then said with a stern face: "Mother, I am not a child anymore, please don't be like this."

When the Crown Princess saw her son like this, she said, "No matter how old you are, you are still my biological son. What's wrong with me hugging you?"

Li Xuan thought of what Niu Niu had asked, "Hasn't your mother ever held you in her arms?" and stopped struggling. Instead, he half-pushed and half-pushed into his mother's arms.

"Miss Niuniu, please come this way."

The door was not closed. Niu Niu, who was led in by the young eunuch, saw Li Xuan nestling in the arms of the Crown Prince's wife at first sight.

As soon as Li Xuan saw her, he jumped out of his mother's arms as if by reflex.

Niuniu's eyes widened as she said, "Brother Li Xuan, you really weren't lying. Your mother really does hug you often."

Li Xuan's face turned red. He was caught red-handed and felt that he had lost all his dignity as a man.

"Young Master, Miss Niuniu is here to bring you food. I can smell it from afar and it smells delicious. Please try it quickly." Li Xuan's attendant explained with a smile.

The Crown Prince's wife also smelled the intoxicating fragrance coming from the food box in the little girl's hand, and said with a smile: "Little girl, what delicious food did you give my son?"

"It's fried food! I eat it often at home, so I just brought the recipe into the palace so that I can eat it often!" Niu Niu explained.

The Crown Princess looked at the little girl in front of her. She looked about six or seven years old, with chubby cheeks, and her whole body was round and cute like a peeled lychee. The Crown Princess felt that this was exactly what she had imagined her daughter to look like, and her heart melted at the sight of her.

"Are you on good terms with Brother Li Xuan? It's amazing that you're still thinking about him." The Crown Princess looked at Niu Niu with very gentle eyes.

Niuniu also liked the beautiful lady in front of her, but she still told the truth: "I'm sorry, brother Li Xuan was knocked down by me."

The little girl was already prepared for the anger to be taken out on her.

But the Crown Princess just turned around and looked at her son, comparing the two men's heights with her eyes.

Li Xuan naturally knew what his mother meant and said, "My son is not ambitious and is weaker than the little girl."

The Crown Princess sighed, touched her son's forehead, and said, "I don't blame you, why do you still feel guilty?"

She turned to look at Niuniu and asked, "I only heard that someone said she was hit, and I don't know the cause and effect. Little girl, are you hurt?" Niuniu didn't expect that Li Xuan's mother would actually care about her. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's all my fault. I didn't look at the road."

Li Xuan said anxiously, "Didn't we agree to split the responsibility 50-50? Neither of us looked at the road, and you didn't mean to hit me. Even if you are stronger than me, you can't take all the blame on yourself!"

The Crown Princess looked at her son, then looked at Niu Niu beside her, and couldn't help but smile like an auntie on her face.

Niuniu said, "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. Don't worry."

Only then did Li Xuan lie back down.

Niuniu looked at the Crown Princess with curiosity and asked, "Aunt, why don't you blame me at all? If it weren't for me, Brother Li Xuan wouldn't have been injured so badly. If you want to scold me, just do it directly."

When Li Xuan heard this, he almost sat up again, but was pushed down by the Crown Princess.

"Little girl, you didn't do it on purpose, and haven't you been making amends for it? I would only blame you if you knew you were wrong and didn't correct it," said the Crown Prince's Consort.

Niuniu felt the other party's kindness, took two steps towards her, raised her little head and said, "Aunt, you are so kind, as gentle as my mother, I like you, Aunt."

When the Crown Princess heard the little girl say this, she immediately became impolite and reached out her hand to hold the girl in her arms.

Sure enough, the little girl's taste was just as the Crown Princess had imagined, with a milky flavor.

"What's your name? How old are you? Which lady are you living with now?" asked the Crown Prince's wife.

Niu Niu answered them one by one with a well-behaved face.

The Crown Princess looked at her soft little cheek and had to restrain herself from reaching out to poke it.

"Come in quickly, come in quickly! Don't move! Don't hurt him!"

Suddenly there was a noise in the yard.

A large group of people came in carrying a little boy covered in blood.

The Crown Prince's wife just stuck her head out to look outside, then lowered her head and saw Niu Niu also looking over there with her big eyes, so she immediately covered the little girl's eyes.

"It's too scary, don't look at it."

As the Crown Princess spoke, she turned around to look at her son, only to discover that he had actually climbed out of the bed at some point and was stretching his neck to look outside.

"Li Xuan, cover your eyes and don't look around. Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night?" the Crown Princess scolded.

Li Xuan said helplessly: "Mother, I am eight years old, not a child anymore. I think this man looks like Li Shuo."

Li Shuo is the grandson of King Qi. He is about the same age as Li Xuan and is also one of the royal family members who entered the palace to receive education. Because he is deeply loved by the emperor, he is a popular candidate for the throne.

"What happened?" The Crown Prince's wife came out of her son's room and asked the noisy group of people.

"Li Shuo fell off his horse, broke a leg and an arm, and his head was broken!" a child answered.

When the Crown Princess heard this, she couldn't help but frowned: "Aren't the horses you ride in the archery class docile ponies? How could you fall so hard?"

The child replied, "The master told us to ride the horses as we pleased, but Li Shuo refused to ride his own horse and insisted on trying Li Xuan's Xiaobai. Once he got on it, the horse went crazy, and we don't know why."

When the Crown Princess heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
