Chapter 139 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (4)
"Mammy, is the fish pond here?" Just when Chu Yuxuan was bored, he heard a little girl's voice behind him.
Chu Yuxuan turned around and looked at the person who came. It was a delicate little girl who seemed to be younger than himself.
She is short, with big eyes, and wears a simple double bun with a pink ribbon tied on it. At one end of the ribbon hangs a small string of pink millet beads.
The little girl's forehead was decorated with a small flower ornament.
Although the flower ornament is small, it can be seen that it is roughly in the shape of a lotus, and there is gold foil decoration in the middle of the flower.
Chu Yuxuan didn’t know how much the girl’s clothes were worth, but he could tell that the brocade belt around her waist must be extremely valuable, because his mother also had several of them, which were very beautiful and precious, and were basically only used on important occasions.
Just by looking at her outfit, Chu Yuxuan knew that this girl must be of noble status and must be more favored than the third princess Li Danruo.
The girl also noticed him at this time. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled at him: "Brother, are you here to play with me?"
Chu Yuxuan thought that such a girl must be very spoiled and might even drive him away from the fish pond. He didn't expect that she would call him "brother" in a soft voice.
He was speechless for a moment.
"Brother, my name is Li Handan. Are you here to play with me?" the girl Li Handan continued.
Is it the fifth princess?
Chu Yuxuan didn't know the fifth princess's name originally, but he heard his brother Chu Yuhe recite it softly several times on the carriage entering the palace, so he remembered it.
Li Handan had lived in Chenyou Palace for many years before, and Concubine Rou basically never came out, so she had basically never seen other children.
This was her second day living in the Queen's Palace, and she was assigned a lot of tasks to learn etiquette, so she had not met the third princess for the time being.
Now it is Li Handan's break time, and she begs her nanny to take her out to see the fish. In a sense, Chu Yuxuan is the first child she has seen who is about her age.
"Chu Yuxuan greets the Fifth Princess." Chu Yuxuan recalled his brother's actions just now and imitated him, and also bowed to Li Handan.
"Brother." Li Handan quickly pulled Chu Yuxuan up, a little anxious, "Do I have to bow to you too? But I haven't learned it yet!"
"Princess, you just need to say 'no thanks'." The nanny at the side reminded.
Li Handan took Chu Yuxuan's hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Chu Yuxuan saw that she seemed no different from other little girls, so he slowly relaxed.
Li Handan took the bag of fish food from the nanny's hand, took out some from it and handed it to Chu Yuxuan: "Brother, let's feed the fish! This is the fish food made by my mother. Fish love it. Throw one in and they will gather around."
As she spoke, she threw one down.
Sure enough, the koi in the pond gathered around in large numbers. Chu Yuxuan followed her example and scattered a few carps, and more and more koi gathered.
"Isn't it? My mother is so powerful." Li Handan said with pride, but her face immediately fell.
Although Chu Yuxuan was a child, he still knew a little about Concubine Rou's affairs. Seeing her depressed look, he couldn't help but touch her head comfortingly.
Then, in order to divert her attention, he threw a few more fish food into the distance. Immediately, he saw the school of fish begin to disperse, and some fish that had originally sunk to the bottom of the water began to float to the surface.
Li Handan looked at a large black carp and widened her eyes: "Brother, this black fish is so big! I wonder why?"
"Do you like eating fish?" Chu Yuxuan was a little surprised, "But this fish is not delicious."
"Why? Mother, all the fish in the palace are edible." Li Handan was puzzled. "We used to catch fish to eat, but those fish were not as beautiful as the fish here."
"Koi are ornamental fish." Chu Yuxuan thought for a moment and explained, "And the meat of these fish is very fishy, the meat is tough and has many bones, and the taste is not very good."
"Brother, have you ever eaten it?" Li Handan looked at Chu Yuxuan with admiration.
"I ate it when I was a child." Chu Yuxuan immediately became more confident when she looked at him.
The nanny listened to this with no expression on her face, but she was very happy in her heart. These two children, who looked to be about the same age, could actually talk about their childhood.
The two of them held hands and fed the fish together for a while. Seeing that it was time for a break, Li Handan said goodbye to Chu Yuxuan reluctantly. He was a rare friend for her.
"What are you doing?" Chu Yuhe's voice sounded not far from the two of them.
Li Handan and Chu Yuxuan turned around and looked at him at the same time, with exactly the same movements, frequency, and expressions.
Chu Yuhe was very angry at the tacit understanding between the two people. He never thought that although he was fast enough, he would be overtaken by his own younger brother and got to know Li Handan before him.
However, Chu Yuhe immediately remembered that in his previous life, his younger brother left home to study before the marriage was granted, and never got married in his entire life. He felt better.
