Chapter 91: Isn't Feng Xuanrui Paralyzed?

These little girls all have mothers who are concubines.

Therefore, the way they are raised is also plain and unadorned.

Find a good man to marry and live well, or be offered as a concubine to a noble is also acceptable.

No matter which, they must not be like their mothers, becoming lowly concubines despised by others!

Xu Yueying's mother had long ago listed the eligible young gentlemen of Jing Cheng for her, and when Xu Yue Yao asked about it now, she began babbling.

Originally Xu Yue Yao was worried about how to bring up the Sixth Prince of Qi Wang Fu.

Then, as drowsiness came, someone handed a pillow.

Xu Yue Yao ignored the other's infatuation and calmly probed, "Is there anything special about the Sixth Prince?"

Hearing that, Xu Yueying looked at her smugly and shouted, "That's the legitimate son of the Wangfu; we could never reach him in this lifetime!"

Even these concubine girls, though recognized back into the Residence because of the matriarch, still rank lower than even the secondary daughters.

Not to mention the legitimate son of the Wangfu; even a lesser son is beyond their reach.

But who can't dream?

What if?

Xu Yue Yao listened on the side, thinking: whether a cripple can be reached or not, what's the difference?

She couldn't voice that thought.

At first, Xu Yuexiu gently patted Xu Yueying's shoulder and said, "Can't we at least watch if we can't reach? I heard the young masters have a riding and archery lesson here in the afternoon; we can sneak a look then."

Upon hearing that, Xu Yueying's eyes lit up as she squeezed closer to Xu Yuexiu and asked, "How did you know?"

Xu Yuexiu proudly lifted her chin and said, "My mother told me last night when she visited; she said the Sixth Prince just returned from the south, and the brothers in the Residence will celebrate by holding a riding and archery lesson out in the fields, spacious and fun for everyone."

Xu Yue Yao heard that and felt something was off.

She remembered clearly that the Sixth Prince of Qi Wang Fu is a cripple.

Because it involves old matters of the Wangfu, many dare not speak of it.

She only learned after extensive inquiries that when the Sixth Prince was young, he followed Prince Qing south, and on the return trip, a landslide's stones shattered his legs.

Because of that, the relationship between Qing Wangfu and Qi Wang Fu, once close, plummeted to an icy point.

At that time, Xu Yue Yao specifically asked about the timing and confirmed it was the year Sui Sui was recognized back to Jing.

Back then, Xu Yue Yao even maliciously wondered: why wasn't Sui Sui taken and crushed together?

Now the dates match, but according to Xu Yuexiu, the Sixth Prince isn't crippled?

But how could that be possible?

Xu Yue Yao was terrified by this notion, breaking into cold sweat, her complexion looking unwell.

The Xu Yueying beside her clapped and laughed, "Ah, Xu Yue Yao, you're too timid; you just went out to take a look and got scared like this?"

"Sure enough, she's from the village and can't stand the spotlight."

…

Among the sisters, they were never truly sincere to each other.

When things are good, they can indeed crowd together to whisper.

But when they fall out, they also despise each other.

Aunt Jiaoyang happened to arrive at this moment, which saved Xu Yue Yao from many awkwardnesses.

She turned her head anxiously to look.

At this time, the official road no longer showed the luxurious carriage.

The events of this life have deviated from those of the previous life.

This made Xu Yue Yao extremely uneasy.

She lightly clenched her fist, silently following the other sisters, properly going to study.

On the other side, Sui Sui had already arrived safely at Zhuangzi.

After alighting from the carriage, the Princess Consort of Qi first removed the draped cloth.

That item was too big for Sui Sui; when walking, a slip could easily get tangled and cause a fall.

After a careful inquiry, learning Sui Sui was no longer cold, the Princess Consort of Qi untied it.

Today's visit was mainly to arrange those potted plants.

Sui Sui, uneasy, kept looking back and forth.

"Is this temperature sufficient?"

"Will it grow very tall?"

"Will they bloom?"

"When they grow that tall, should they be transplanted into the ground?"

"Do they need watering?"

…

They didn't know what this thing was.

Since it was already buried in the ground, it wasn't easy to dig up for study.

Moreover, the world's flora is extremely diverse.

Just because they haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

So they couldn't answer properly, only giving a vague reply.

Seeing them unable to answer, Sui Sui was still uneasy.

Le Le said, "This is a good thing."

She must plant it well!

Thinking of Le Le, Sui Sui softly asked, "Le Le, can this grow up?"

"Of course, Sui Sui, if you plant it well, it'll be fine."

"They're very easy to keep alive, Sui Sui, don't worry; the temperature now is sufficient. Once the sprouts grow out, transplant them to the ground, and after two or three months, you can harvest them."

"However, its fruit is buried underground, so when you dig it up later, you need to be extra careful~"

"The fruit that grows underground?"

"Sui Sui knows that."

She happily said, "I know, I know, it's like peanuts, right?"

The system thinks this understanding is fine: "That's right, Sui Sui."

After knowing it will grow and bear fruit, Sui Sui felt much more relieved.

The temperature in the greenhouse was still quite high; after staying there a while, Sui Sui began to sweat.

She obediently stepped out, staying by Mother Consort's side, gazing at this vast Zhuangzi.

Seeing the child's curiosity, Princess Consort of Qi took her hand and gently introduced.

"That side is farmland; further back there is an orchard. In summer, it will bear lots of fruit, and then Mother Consort will bring you over to taste some."

"That side is autumn fruit, which ripens later than summer fruit, but it just fills the gap."

"And over there, they raise quite a few cattle and sheep."

"By the way, the cattle and sheep gave birth to many little ones yesterday; Mother Consort will take you to see them."

……

When mentioning the livestock's birthing, Princess Consort of Qi couldn't help but recall the steward's early morning report of good news.

Never having seen those herself, Princess Consort of Qi always felt a sense of unreality.

Now that people have come over, she thought, might as well bring Sui Sui over to have a look.

The steward had already arrived; wherever Princess Consort of Qi wanted to go, he would properly lead the way ahead.

Hearing that the princess consort wanted to see the livestock that had given birth yesterday, the steward became energetic: "Princess Consort, once you look you'll know—each little one is lively, especially those piglets, fighting for milk!"

Saying this, the steward again felt that such matters were rather coarse.

He paused, then didn't elaborate further, just briefly mentioning the sheep and cattle.

The livestock breeding area is somewhat far, in the direction near the orchard.

After all, they smell strong, so they need to be placed farther away, especially far from water sources.

When they approached, they could see several lambs wandering about leisurely, looking quite relaxed.

Upon seeing them, the steward exclaimed, "Those are the lambs born yesterday—there are as many as fourteen!"

Second watch.
