Chapter 143: Should I Get My Ears Pierced?

After hearing Mother Consort's explanation, Sui Sui finally understood that it isn't about using the hook on the earring to force it in directly; that would make her feel much more at ease.

The purple jade earring is still very beautiful; Sui Sui likes looking at it, and then thinks, since Mengmeng Jiejie just graciously took it, I should be able to have one too, right?

Thinking of this, she clings to Mother Consort's thigh, lifts her head, and softly says thank you.

A child's voice truly has a healing power.

Princess Consort of Qi, after listening, wishes she could pluck the stars from the sky and give them to Sui Sui!

Princess Consort of Qi selected an earring, then also chose a jade pendant, a safety clasp, and the like.

She picked out colors and styles suitable for children.

It's evident that when Da Zhang Gong Zhu Fu was preparing things, they clearly considered the child Sui Sui.

After finishing the discussion about the medicinal bath, Princess Consort of Qi asked about ear piercing.

Kids, after all, mostly like bright colors.

And the Pretty aunts they've seen all have sparkling earrings on their ears.

Ear piercing will definitely hurt, and during the few days of aftercare, because the thread is repeatedly tugged, it still hurts.

So, let them prepare it early.

A doctor originally shouldn't give up before the patient.

If Xiang Gugu's skill is lacking, then let Hai Tang do it.

This thing…

Sui Sui thought, it should be possible, right?

Sui Sui thought, ear piercing might also be a kind of hallmark among the girls of Jing Cheng.

Although Doctor Liu Dafu once doubted, concerning Prince's feverish wish for a daughter.

Of course, the medicinal bath isn't taken daily; it's once every three days, each time lasting at least the time of an incense stick.

【If Sui Sui likes it, she can get pierced, but it's very painful; Sui Sui must endure it, endure a few days, and then it'll be all beautiful!】

Princess Consort of Qi almost wanted to pick her up and give her a kiss; Doctor Liu Dafu also found it amusing.

The process is troublesome, but if a good result can be achieved, the hardships in between are indeed worth it.

Princess Consort of Qi grew more and more satisfied, wishing she could now turn into a tailor and instantly turn fabric into finished clothing.

Doctor Liu Dafu, after listening, hesitated a moment and asked, "Is Sui Sui willing?"

But, you have to try it sometime.

It doesn't dry well, and it easily makes children hold a grudge.

Thinking of that simple and brutal method now, the system fell silent for a moment, choosing to speak frankly.

Although Wangfu has no young ladies, Prince has always been hoping for one.

After the little princess is born, will they really be willing to let her get her ears pierced?

Sui Sui hesitated a moment, then nodded toward Mother Consort, "Mother Consort, pierce it, I'm ready!"

In the end, the few people were looking at the material.

Xiang Gugu also perked up her ears, fearing she might miss something.

Since Xiang Gugu is literate, handing this to her lets Princess Consort of Qi feel at ease.

But the beloved granddaughter is still nearby, so they don't want to appear too enthusiastic.

Sui Sui doesn't have her own separate room yet, but she'll have one sooner or later.

Endure a few days, and then she can wear all kinds of beautiful earrings.

This job…

Even so, Princess Consort of Qi still feels uneasy, thinking of asking more.

Princess Consort of Qi thinks that, for beauty, enduring a little pain is still acceptable.

It's not like a small child; a few days of pain, and it's over.

Unfortunately, Princess Consort of Qi's skill…

Among the jewelry there are many items suitable for children, including two beaded strings with very small loops, clearly meant for kids; the colors are emerald green paired with amber, with a few chalcedony stones set in the middle.

Just looking is enough.

When Princess Consort suddenly asked Xiang Gugu, she didn't panic, quickly responded, "My skill is decent; I'll do my utmost to make fine clothes for the elder lady."

It was fine when Doctor Liu Dafu didn't speak, but once he said that, Princess Consort of Qi felt uncertain.

She also wants it.

However, Doctor Liu Dafu is meticulous; he deliberately recorded it on paper, so later he can refer to it.

When Princess Consort arrived with people, Doctor Liu Dafu first offered his respects, then mentioned the medicinal bath.

Upon hearing it was a medicinal bath, Princess Consort of Qi perked up, listening carefully and taking notes.

Nowadays, without modern technology, they apply anesthetic, and with one shot, the ear is pierced.

Never trying and giving up outright is inevitably unsatisfying.

But watching Mengmeng Jiejie's little earring sway on her ear, Sui Sui felt very envious.

The color scheme is a bit garish, yet children love it.

Thinking of her own skill, Princess Consort of Qi's rising emotions gradually calmed.

Princess Consort of Qi does not intend to outsource the little girl's nightclothes to others.

After a thorough demonstration on Sui Sui, Princess Consort of Qi directly placed the two into Sui Sui's private treasury.

For the other colors, Princess Consort of Qi just let Aunt Qiu record them.

Xiang Gugu also, following Aunt Qiu's example, took the newly acquired ledger from the elder lady's private treasury and promptly recorded the accounts.

Being a doctor, he naturally has it.

Haitang's craftsmanship is still good.

Children's worries show on their faces; that troubled, brow‑knitting look is utterly adorable.

If she doesn't have it, will she embarrass Mother Consort and her older brother?

He was busy all morning, preparing a month's dosage of medicine.

Although Sui Sui fears pain, she sees that Mengmeng Jiejie has pierced ears, and Qiaoqiao Jiejie who came earlier also has pierced ears.

The ornaments delivered today have more somber colors.

She doesn't want to be a child who embarrasses others.

When children get jealous, they're also hard to placate!

Doctor Liu turned around and began preparing all the necessary tools.

However, one of the gilt incense burners looks not bad; the Princess Consort of Qi singled it out.

So, if you're not mentally prepared, better not get pierced.

After looking over all the gifts, the Princess Consort of Qi again brought Sui Sui and Liu He Meng to find Doctor Liu.

However, lacking a bit of courage, she quietly asked the system: "Le Le, should I get pierced? Will it hurt?"

She hesitated, lowered her head, and asked Sui Sui: "It will hurt a little, Sui Sui—want to get pierced? Afterward you can wear pretty earrings."

Having heard it would hurt, Sui Sui is actually afraid.

Actually, just looking at the hat Aunt Xiang sewed shows her skill is not bad.

She had Aunt Xiang put away the two bolts of cloth, then asked how her needlework was.

The Princess Consort of Qi felt it wasn't bright enough; she planned to pick other colors from the storehouse to add accents to Sui Sui's future room.

The young lady grows fairer with care; paired with such vivid colors, it looks extremely lovely.

However, children's thoughts ultimately differ from adults'.

After looking at the jewelry, she also examined some ornaments.

While speaking, the Princess Consort of Qi kept holding the two bolts of cloth, constantly measuring them against Sui Sui's body.

Doctor Liu had just prepared some medicine, mainly for Sui Sui's medicinal bath.

Aunt Xiang's attitude was humble; the Princess Consort of Qi noticed, nodded, and signaled her to put the fabric away.

After looking at one bolt of water‑powder‑colored and one bolt of moonlight‑colored soft silk, the Princess Consort of Qi's eyes lit up: "This suits Sui Sui; this is perfect for her—ideal for nightwear, soft and close‑fitting, warm in winter, cool in summer, comfortable to wear."

Children have plenty of scars; some are old and stale from Chen Xiaonian, and even Doctor Liu isn't sure they can all be removed.

So, it's just a few days of pain.

Pierced!

Second watch.
