Chapter 111: Sui Sui Likes These Gifts
Princess Consort of Qi doesn't mind; these gifts, who were they originally prepared to give?
Anyway, in the end they all end up in Sui Sui's private stash.
Then these gifts are prepared for Sui Sui.
Moreover, Sui Sui is also a little princess of the Wangfu, not any worse than a real princess.
Seeing the little girl cute with a deer‑skin backpack, Princess Consort of Qi can hardly wait to send Sui Sui off to study.
Just thinking of the child's look is already very cute.
Sui Sui also loves such a backpack; she never had one before, and upon first arriving in Jing Cheng, she saw many things she had never seen.
Sui Sui feels both novelty and delight.
At this moment she is fondly handling the soft deer skin and the long tassels beside it.
Princess Consort of Qi watches happily from the side, letting the little girl fidget for a long while, then calls Sui Sui over: "Sui Sui, come here, there are still gifts unwrapped."
Sui Sui obediently replies, skips in small steps to Mother Consort's side, looks at the unopened boxes on the table, and thinks: Unwrapping gifts is truly a surprising yet tiring task!
But she likes it.
Very much likes it, very much likes it.
Sui Sui purses her lips, happily snuggles to Mother Consort, letting Mother Consort hold her hand to unwrap the next gift.
When Princess Consort of Qi unwraps a gift, Haitang will be on the side, quietly reminding who sent it.
Princess Consort of Qi casually explains to Sui Sui: "This one was sent by Concubine Zhou, who is Seventh Brother's mother."
Mother Consort is mother, mother is also mother.
Sui Sui, hearing the term mother again, becomes bewildered once more.
The little girl's expression is so easy to read; Princess Consort of Qi naturally understands.
However, how can one explain such a thing to a child who doesn't quite understand?
Princess Consort of Qi thinks for a moment, says nothing for now, and only looks at the items in the box.
Concubine Zhou is skillful, having made a pair of very delicate embroidered shoes.
She didn't measure, so naturally doesn't know how big Sui Sui's feet are, just made them by feel.
Presumably it was a gift for the future little princess, so now it's brought over.
Princess Consort of Qi glances; the shoes are a bit large, Sui Sui is still too frail, her feet are rather small.
Thinking of this, she gently pats the little girl's head and softly says, "Sui Sui, you need to eat more and grow, so you can fit into the shoes; otherwise, wearing them now, they'll easily slip off."
The shoe upper is also adorned with a few small pearls, looking extremely luxurious.
Sui Sui, who has only recently become acquainted with pearls, knows they're valuable, and solemnly nods, "Yes, I'll listen to Mother Consort, eat more, grow!"
Seeing the little girl's obedient look, Princess Consort of Qi can't help but want to pat her head again.
But fearing too much touching, and the little girl has no hair, Princess Consort of Qi finally restrains herself.
Concubine Zhou's embroidered shoes, Concubine Guo's gift is a pure‑gold hair comb, studded with crystal‑clear mutton‑fat jade; at first glance it is dazzling.
To this, Princess Consort of Qi is not surprised at all.
Concubine Guo comes from a merchant family; people often joke that she reeks of copper and is only close to money.
Princess Consort of Qi thinks there's nothing wrong with it, nor anything to mock.
In this vast Jing Cheng, which noble household isn't close to money?
Sui Sui really likes this golden thing; she handled it several times before putting it back.
Concubine Qi's scented sachet and woven bag, from an ordinary family, are all handmade with care; nevertheless the craftsmanship is good, and the finished pieces are very pleasing.
Sui Sui looks at them several more times.
Concubine Cong's embroidery is good, so she gave three handkerchiefs and two hair ribbons embroidered with bamboo leaves.
Sui Sui currently has no hair, so can't use them for now.
But she can keep them for later, to tie hair.
The two ribbons are a light pink, and can serve as silk ties later, also looking nice.
Car Maid follows the Prince to another courtyard; the return date is undecided.
In her courtyard, the master is absent, so the servants naturally dare not act.
Moreover, Princess Consort of Qi thinks that even if Car Maid is present, the one currently flaunting herself probably wouldn't pay attention to Sui Sui.
Just right, she sees the other still annoyed, so this is fine now.
As for Concubine Su, who was just punished this morning, there will be no response.
Princess Consort of Qi also simply skips her, after reviewing all the items together with Sui Sui, she asks Xiang Gugu to put the things away.
When instructing Xiang Gugu, she also reminds Aunt Qiu to also store the gifts she prepared for Sui Sui.
Sui Sui has nothing; things need to be added gradually, and Princess Consort of Qi is not in a hurry—she first places a silver note worth five thousand taels at the bottom of the box, and adds a box of jewelry.
Sui Sui doesn't understand the value of these items, just looks bewildered at Mother Consort.
Princess Consort of Qi also doesn't explain, just smiles while patting the little girl's head, and tells Xiang Gugu: "The elder girl shouldn't go to the western courtyard for now; instead, store her in my warehouse, alone."
Xiang Gugu promptly replies, then together with Nuan Dong, records the items, stores them, and puts them away.
Sui Sui has finished washing up and should now go to sleep.
Princess Consort of Qi, uneasy, specially carries the little girl back to the bedroom.
She places Sui Sui on the bed, covers her with a quilt, and sits at the bedside, lightly patting the quilt.
She remembers that the wet nurse used to pat Xiao Liu and the others the same way.
Princess Consort of Qi imitates, feeling she has learned it quite well.
Sui Sui, amid the gentle patting and the faint indoor fragrance, becomes drowsy.
The system can't bear to stop her, letting her listen to a story.
However, Sui Sui kept forcing herself not to sleep.
She thought, I have nothing to repay my kind brothers, so I'll listen to the story well and then repay them!
So, tonight's story, she must listen to.
Unless Yikong has no way, otherwise must listen!
Holding this belief, Sui Sui dazedly seemed to fall asleep, waiting for Princess Consort of Qi to leave, she turned over and dazedly crawled up.
The system looked at the little girl dazedly half-lying there, obviously wanting to sleep but reluctant, it couldn't bear it.
【Sui Sui isn't in a hurry, let's sleep first, listening tomorrow is the same.】
The system's voice made Sui Sui become a bit more awake.
She gently shook her head【No, I want to listen to the story.】
After saying that, she spoke even more softly【I want to tell the story to the brothers.】
The brothers are all good, the brothers' mothers also sent her various lovely gifts.
She wants to repay them.
She admits she is a greedy child.
But greedy children also need to know how to repay!
The system looked at the little girl obviously exhausted yet insisting on listening to the story, its heart felt like it was melting.
Wuu wuu, its female goose, how can it be so cute!
Now come the lullaby master, shake three!!!
The system is full of ambition and passion.
As a result, when shaking, it almost shook nothing.
Finally shook up a……
A young little girl.
The other party has a pleasant name on their head.
Yu Qing.
After the rain, the sky clears, mountains and forests are beautiful.
At this moment, Yu Qing is utterly confused.
She was sitting nicely at home editing videos, how was she suddenly pulled away?
After a bout of dizziness, upon seeing the situation clearly, Yu Qing uncertainly asked【... model, simulator?】
