Seeing Chengli staring at her with big black and white eyes, Daiyu couldn't help but reach out and touch his little head, and praised with a smile: "Chengli is awesome!"

Seeing Daiyu praise him, Chengli immediately became more and more happy, but Daiyu didn't want to talk too much with him as a child, so she asked with a smile: "Chengli is going to visit the garden?" But he shook his head and said, "Chengli wants to hear my sister tell stories."

When Grandma Liu came in with fruit tea just now, she was afraid that Chengli would cause trouble for Daiyu, and was about to say something, but Daiyu shook her head lightly at her, and swallowed the words again Going down, he put out the snacks and fruit tea in the tray and said with a smile: "I've talked so much, let's have some refreshments."

Daiyu glanced at Chengli, thanked Mammy Liu with a smile, but didn't speak, Chengli thought for a while and then said to Nanny Liu: "Thank you, Madam Liu."

Just then Daiyu nodded, poured a cup of fruit tea for Chengli and asked, "What kind of story does Chengli want to hear?" In fact, there are many stories in Daiyu's mind, Chinese, foreign, and the information from the previous life In the era of the big bang, what kind of stories did Daiyu not hear?Even nonsense can tell many stories.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't refuse, Chengli's eyes lit up, and Mammy Liu was watching the interaction between the two, especially Chengli's address to Daiyu. Mammy Liu couldn't help being a little worried, but now it was obvious that Daiyu didn't unwilling to bring it up.After thinking about it, she frowned and gave Zhixuan a wink, then retreated with the tray.

Seeing that Nanny Liu seemed to have something to say to herself, Zhixuan also quietly backed out.Nanny Liu looked at Zhixuan who was following, but said nothing else, "Let's go find you, Nanny Tang first." Although Zhixuan didn't understand, she still followed.

Nanny Tang had just sent off Princess Wujun, and when she saw Zhixuan coming with Nanny Liu, she couldn't help asking in surprise, "But what happened to the county lord?"

Zhixuan shook her head naturally, and was about to say it's okay, but she heard Madam Liu say to Madam Tang in a rather serious tone: "I won't play tricks with you, I still have some things to deal with. Please keep an eye on the county lord, don't let idlers get close, even if you want to go to the garden, you have to let people follow you, and send everyone around you far away."

Seeing the surprised look on Tang Nanny's face, Liu Nanny sighed and said, "Don't worry, if someone is dissatisfied or something else, just say that it's the princess's order that doesn't work, it's not a small matter! Besides, you don't have to Too worried, the county master is the only master in the mansion now, and everyone around has followed the princess out of the mansion."

When Nanny Tang saw what Nanny Liu said, she couldn't help asking: "Sister Liu, you can make it clearer, so I can have a solid foundation in my heart."

Grandma Liu frowned and didn't know what to say for a while, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't come up with a reason, she just told her: "I can't say it well, just remember, don't let irrelevant people get close Meixiangyuan, especially not close to the county lord."

Mama Liu turned her head to look at Zhixuan after she finished speaking, and said, "When you go back, tell Hanxiao that the county lord will be served by the two of you, and other people who are by the county lord's side should not be allowed to come near."

Although Zhixuan still didn't understand, but looking at Mammy Liu's face, she knew that it was not a trivial matter, so she nodded her head and assured her, "Don't worry, mama, this servant will go back and serve you every step of the way." Nodding and walking away.

While Liu Nanny was talking to Tang Nanny Zhixuan, Daiyu had already told Chengli a story about the little puppet.

It is said that once there was a highly skilled craftsman who carved a puppet. The puppet not only has exquisite facial features, but also has a big smiling face.The craftsman was very satisfied with his work, and made a beautiful pouch for the puppet with red leather.The little puppet went out happily carrying the little red envelope.

But who knows that shortly after leaving the house, his little red envelope was cheated by a cunning fox, but because the little puppet can only laugh, so even the black bear clerk didn't believe the little puppet, and the little puppet squatted on the ground sadly , but he was still laughing. The good old lady came over and asked what happened to the little puppet, but the little puppet smiled and told his story.

As a result, it is conceivable that the kind-hearted grandmother did not believe in the little puppet, and at this moment, a fairy appeared.He told the little puppet to cry when sad and angry when angry, not just laugh.

But the little puppet could only laugh, and could not express any other expressions, so he went back to the craftsman, and the craftsman was very sad after hearing what had happened to the little puppet. As a result, he carved various expressions for the puppet.

But the little puppet with expressions did not go smoothly, because he didn't know when he should use which expression, until one day, the little puppet met the fox who cheated his little red envelope again, and saw that the fox was still carrying him The little red envelope, the little puppet cried and chased after him.

But this time, no one believed him. When the puppet squatted on the ground and grinned sadly, the fairy appeared again. Looking at the puppet, the fairy shook his head and touched the puppet's head. The puppet burst into tears.

When Daiyu said this, Chengli couldn't help asking: "Why is the puppet crying? Is it because of the little red envelope?"

Daiyu touched Chengli's face affectionately, and said seriously: "Because the little puppet had no other expressions at first, it could only laugh. Later, although the little puppet had all the expressions, it couldn't express. So everyone didn't believe him. But at this time, the gods let him understand the function of expressions, and the little puppet also knew that he didn't express correctly."

Chengli looked at Daiyu understandingly, his eyes were full of doubts, Daiyu sighed and continued: "Just like Chengli, although he knows all the expressions, he doesn't cry when he should cry , and even endure when it’s time to laugh, isn’t it also uncomfortable?”

When Chengli heard this, his eyes that were originally watery immediately widened, but at this moment because of disbelief, they became round and round, looking really cute.Xu didn't know what to say at this time, Chengli quickly lowered his head again, and his two extremely delicate eyebrows were also wrinkled like caterpillars.

Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "What kind of expression is this?" As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Chengli immediately withdrew all expressions, stretched out his hand to hold the tea and took a sip.Seeing his well-behaved appearance, Daiyu couldn't help sighing: "This child is almost childless!"But Daiyu forgot that she herself didn't look like a child...

Chengli took a sip of the fruit tea, swallowed it slowly, then put the teacup down and asked, "Can sister tell me another story?" Although Chengli tried his best to control his expression, his eyes still couldn't help Live in hope.

Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "I can't always tell you. Chengli can tell me a story, too?" Li has never heard a story, and Chengli has no story to tell her sister." After Chengli finished speaking, he slightly lowered his head in embarrassment, looking at his teacup.

Daiyu knew that his life in the palace must not be good, presumably he was just a bastard in an ordinary noble family, although the royal family didn't pay much attention to this, but after all, he was a child without a mother.

Thinking of this, Daiyu looked at Chengli with some distress, and said softly: "The past is all stories. For example, if Chengli told me about something interesting that happened yesterday, it would not be right for Chengli. It’s the past for me, it’s a story for me.”

As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, she saw Chengli quietly raised her eyes and looked at herself, as if she didn't believe it, and then continued: "For example, Chengli must not know what I did yesterday, so if I tell you, It sounds like a story to you, but those things are the past to me. Do you understand?"

Chengli thought for a while without looking at Daiyu, and just nodded slightly.Seeing this, Daiyu didn't explain anymore, but instead asked: "Then Chengli, can you tell me how you came to Wujun Wangfu?"

As far as Chengli was concerned, there was nothing that could not be said, so the fourth prince Chenghui went to look for him in the morning, then went to intercept the eldest prince and Mo Xuan, and then went to Wujun Palace together. Neither he nor the fourth prince went into the backyard to meet Princess Wujun, but stayed in the front yard, but he himself told the story of going to the backyard.

In this way, the matter is clear, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask other things. When Daiyu asked about the same thing and was hesitating to ask about the affairs of the palace, Chengli stared. With big watery eyes, he asked: "Chengli has already told many stories, can my sister tell Chengli another story?"

Daiyu was taken aback, and then began to tell stories to Chengli, such as "Nine-Colored Deer" and "Nightingale", many interesting and profound stories were told by Daiyu one by one, Chengli Hearing it was exhilarating, and the eyes that looked at Daiyu became brighter.

Nanny Liu came over halfway to deliver fruits, desserts and other things to Daiyu and Daiyu. Seeing that Chengli and Daiyu were sitting and talking quietly in the room, she felt relieved to go about other things.

Nanny Liu was relieved, but at this moment the First Prince panicked!It wasn't until the Seventh Prince was welcomed into the palace, and the Holy Majesty held a banquet in the Xuande Hall to discuss meritorious deeds, that Chengde remembered that Xiao Wu was left in the Prince's Mansion of Wu County, and the emperor obviously didn't know about Xiao Wu's leaving the palace. .

If Xiao Wu is safe and well, then everything will be fine, but if something goes wrong with Xiao Wu... then he, the elder brother who took Xiao Wu out, will bear the brunt of it!Maybe the fourth prince will make trouble when the time comes...

Seeing that the Eldest Prince's expression was different, Mo Xuan approached quietly and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?" Seeing that it was Mo Xuan, the Eldest Prince told the story of Xiao Wu's falling into the Prince Wu's Mansion.
