Chapter 489: The Xia family has a daughter who is just growing up, Milk Tiger Forest
"Ming Yue, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
On the east side of Zhai Xing Hall, the maid adjutant Han Shuang, seeing Ming Yue running from the suspension bridge in a hurry, immediately called her to stop with curiosity.
"Greetings to Lady Han Shuang!"
The positions of the maid adjutant of the Han Yue and Han Shuang sisters are the proper fifth-rank official titles of Da Xia. The entire Zhai Xing Hall has a total of thirty maids, all under their command, so everyone who sees them must salute.
After Ming Yue finished the salute, she raised her head and smiled: "The Second Prince's Milk Tiger Forest trial has been moved up to tonight. Lady Han Yue went with the Second Prince, so I came to notify the Lady."
Han Shuang was stunned when she heard this, and then hurriedly waved her hand: "Then you go quickly!"
Ming Yue nodded, and then walked quickly toward the Zhai Xing Platform.
"Didn't we agree on the night of the 28th? Why was it moved up?"
Han Shuang muttered to herself, and then thought of something, running quickly toward the back of the hall.
Soon she ran to the east back of Zhai Xing Hall, to the door of a quiet small bedroom. She stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly, then said softly: "First Prince, are you awake? Han Shuang has something important to report."
"I woke up long ago, come in, Aunt Han Shuang!"
As soon as her voice fell, a girl's voice came from the room.
Although the girl's tone was slightly lazy and even carried a hint of coldness, one could tell from her pleasant and crisp voice that she was certainly not old, at most around nine years of age.
Han Shuang received a response, pushed the door open slowly, and walked in.
The room was not big, about eight meters long and wide, but the furnishings in the room were extremely exquisite and particular. On the left side of the door was a washstand carved from white jade; further inside was a rosewood round table covered with blue brocade; there were six chairs around the round table, the main body of the chairs was cyan jade, which could be seen at a glance as high-grade animal bones, the backrests of the six chairs were carved into different animal head shapes, and the cushions were all blood jade fox skin;
The south wall of the round table was a weapon rack, on which hung five long swords, three long whips, two horizontal knives, two ceremonial knives, plus more than ten small daggers and short swords. These weapons, without exception, were all made of silver, and the styles were unique and exquisite, and even many gems and jade were inlaid on them;
The north side was a shelf three meters high, on which were placed hundreds of all kinds of rare treasures, among which two or three percent of the things were emitting blazing spiritual light, and ordinary people would not be able to recognize them;
On the right side of the door was a bookshelf, on which were placed all kinds of books, and many of them were a bit yellow, obviously often turned over.
The bookshelf was opened horizontally from the middle, leaving a circular arch in the center, hanging hundreds of blue jade wind chimes, which played a decorative role while also providing some cover for the inner room.
Dinglingling... Dinglingling...
As the door was opened by Han Shuang, some cold currents blew in, blowing the blue jade pendants lightly, and the room instantly rang with crisp and pleasant bells.
Han Shuang naturally closed the door quickly, then walked toward the bookshelf with ease, lifted the blue jade wind chime curtain, looked inside, and her eyes suddenly lit up slightly.
The outer room was already so luxurious, let alone the inner room. Lifting the curtain, everything that could be seen, small tables, small dressing tables, beds, gauze curtains, curtains, wardrobes, etc., almost all things in the room could not find a common item. It could be said that more than 90% of the things could not be exchanged in the inner city camp supply department, and the remaining 10%, even if they could be exchanged, the price was sky-high, at least more than 200,000 contribution points.
However, so many precious things did not attract Han Shuang. Firstly, she was familiar enough with this room and all the furnishings in the room, and she had long been used to it. Secondly, it was because of the girl sitting on the edge of the bed holding a book at this moment.
The girl's black hair was divided into strands, tied with three jade hairpins at the top, making it hang down naturally, and then tied at the tail, hanging on her shoulders. It was the "hanging hair and divided tail bun" that is currently the most popular among unmarried girls in Xia City.
But unlike women in ordinary families, the girl also wore a small silver Xuan Luan crown on her head, adding a bit of nobility.
The girl's skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright and her teeth were white, and her face was 70% similar to Li Ying Xuan Ling's, and the remaining 30% was because she had a bit more playfulness. Her forehead also had three water-blue holy patterns, which added a bit of fairy spirit and divinity to her already beautiful face. Anyone who saw it would feel ashamed.
The girl wore a dark blue Xia-style flowing fairy brocade skirt, the skirt was decorated with cloud brocade and Luan birds woven with silver thread, and five or six strings of water-blue tassels hung under the skirt hem. It was truly fairy-like, not like a woman in the mortal world, but like a fairy in heaven.
"Growing up like this at nine years old, in a few years, when the First Prince is fifteen, I am afraid it will be incredible. I don't know who can match it..."
Han Shuang could not help but sigh in her heart. According to reason, she had watched Xia Yu Yao from birth to the present, plus the four years of close service before, so she should not have such a big reaction.
However, in fact, as Xia Yu Yao slowly grew up in the past two years, her stunning appearance began to show, and she could not help but sigh almost every time she saw it.
Appearance was only one aspect, and talent was even more terrifying!
Thinking of this, Han Shuang suddenly looked at Xia Yu Yao carefully, but after looking for a while, a look of horror appeared on her face, and then she walked quickly to Xia Yu Yao and asked with surprise: "First Prince, your basic strength has already exceeded 270,000 jin?"
Her appearance is only one aspect; her talent is even more frightening!
The two Princes usually practiced on the Zhai Xing Platform with Lady Li Ying Xuan Ling, but the Second Prince was active and could not sit still, and could stay for at most three hours a day. The First Prince was different. She liked quietness and listened to the Lady, so she often stayed on the Zhai Xing Platform for several days in a row, in retreat and practice with the Lady.
This time Xia Yu Yao stayed on the Zhai Xing Platform for a total of five days. Han Shuang remembered very clearly that five days ago, the First Prince's basic strength was only more than 267,000 jin.
But now, it has already exceeded 270,000!
Xia Yu Yao could basically guess Han Shuang's shock, but there was not much pride on her face. She just nodded lightly, which was considered an answer to her, and then asked with a faint smile: "Aunt came to find me suddenly, is there anything?"
Hearing this, Han Shuang suddenly remembered that she had something to tell Xia Yu Yao when she came over, so she hurriedly nodded and said: "First Prince, the Milk Tiger Forest trial has been moved up to tonight. The Second Prince has already gone with the Long Jinwei. Don't you want to go out and see?"
Hearing Han Yue's words, Xia Yu Yao's eyes clearly showed a touch of movement, but she quickly calmed it down, shook her head lightly and said: "Forget it, he went alone, and the Long Jinwei had to make a big fuss. If I follow to join in the fun, I don't know how many people will be troubled. Besides, Mother would definitely be unhappy if she knew."
Hearing Han Shuang's words, seeing Xia Yu Yao sitting back on the edge of the bed and opening the book in her hand, a look of heartache appeared in her eyes. ===== CHAPTER 490 =====
Upon hearing Han Shuang's words, a clear look of temptation appeared in Xia Yu Yao's eyes, but she quickly quelled it and shook her head gently, saying, "Forget it. If he goes over alone, the Long Jinwei will already make a huge fuss. If I go along to join in the excitement, there's no telling how many people will be troubled. Besides, Mother would definitely be unhappy if she found out."
Hearing this, Han Shuang saw Xia Yu Yao sit back down by the bedside and gently open the book in her hands, a look of heartache immediately appearing in her eyes.
