Chapter 384: Unexpected Horse Fright
"My Lady, should we inform the palace of Master Li's injury?"
Listening to the question from the maid, Concubine Xian nodded: "It's impossible to hide this kind of thing, so I'd better send someone to tell them."
"But if this happens, I'm afraid that Prince Jing's palace will be angry with Niuniu." The maid said worriedly.
The maid also knew Concubine Xian's heart knot, which was naturally to have a child of her own. Concubine Xian now placed all her hopes on Niuniu.
If Niuniu is not doing well, how can she bless Concubine Xian to get pregnant.
"It's okay. If the sky falls, the Queen Mother and His Majesty will support it. Prince Jing's palace sent his son to the palace to compete for the throne. If they are sensible, they will not offend the Queen Mother because of this little injury." Concubine Xian did not take today's episode seriously.
Because the notification was timely, the palace sent someone to hand in a sign to the palace in less than an hour.
The palace was the one who was at fault for not taking good care of the child. Near noon, the prince's wife of the palace had already entered the palace.
The palaces also exempted the Crown Prince's wife from paying respects, so that she could go to check on her youngest son as soon as possible.
"My dear, how did you get hit like this?"
Li Xuan is the youngest son of the Crown Prince's wife. He has always been spoiled at home, and at this time he was directly held in the Crown Prince's wife's arms.
Li Xuan struggled for a while, and said with a stern face: "Mother, I am no longer a child, please don't do this."
The Crown Prince's wife saw her son like this and said: "No matter how old you are, you are still my own son. What's wrong with me hugging you?"
Li Xuan thought of Niu Niu's question "Hasn't your mother hugged you?", so he didn't continue to struggle, but was half-pushed and half-carried in his mother's arms.
"Miss Niu Niu, please come this way."
The door was not closed, and Niu Niu, who was led in by the eunuch, saw Li Xuan in the Crown Prince's wife's arms at first sight.
As soon as Li Xuan saw her, he immediately jumped out of his mother's arms like a conditioned reflex.
Niu Niu looked at her with big eyes and said, "Brother Li Xuan, you really didn't lie. Your mother really hugs you often."
Li Xuan's face flushed. He was caught red-handed. He felt that his manly face was completely lost.
"Master, Niu Niu is here to bring you food. I can smell it from a distance. Please try it quickly." Li Xuan's servant explained with a smile.
The Crown Prince's Consort also smelled the intoxicating fragrance from the food box in the little girl's hand, and said with a smile, "Little girl, what delicious food did you bring to my son?"
"It's fried food! I often eat it at home, so I simply brought the recipe into the palace so that I can eat it often!" Niu Niu explained.
The Crown Prince's Consort looked at the little girl in front of her. She looked like she was six or seven years old, with chubby cheeks. She was as round and cute as a peeled lychee. The Crown Prince's Consort felt that this was exactly what she imagined her daughter to look like, and her heart melted at this moment.
"Are you close to Brother Li Xuan? It's hard for you to still miss him." The Crown Princess looked at Niu Niu with a gentle look.
Niu Niu also liked the beautiful lady in front of her, but she still told the truth: "Aunt, I'm sorry, Brother Li Xuan was knocked down by me."
The little girl was ready to be vented with anger.
But the Crown Princess just looked back at her son and compared the height of the two with her eyes.
Li Xuan naturally knew what his mother meant and said, "My son is not good enough and is weaker than the little girl."
The princess sighed, touched her son's forehead, and said, "I didn't blame you, why are you still feeling guilty?"
She turned to look at Niu Niu and asked, "I only heard that he was hit, and I don't know the cause and effect. Little girl, are you injured?"
Niu Niu didn't expect that Li Xuan's mother would still care about her. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. It's all my fault. I didn't look at the road."
Li Xuan said anxiously, "Didn't we agree to share the responsibility 50-50? Neither of us looked at the road, and you didn't mean to hit me. Even if you are better than me, you can't take everything on yourself!"
The princess looked at her son, then looked at Niu Niu beside her, and couldn't help showing an aunt's smile on her face.
Niu Niu said, "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you, don't worry."
Li Xuan then lay back down.
Niu Niu looked at the Crown Prince's Consort with curiosity and asked, "Aunt, why don't you blame me at all? If it weren't for me, Brother Li Xuan wouldn't have been so seriously injured. If you want to scold me, just do it directly."
Li Xuan almost sat up again when he heard this, but was pressed down by the Crown Prince's Consort.
"Little girl, you didn't mean it, and you've been making up for it, haven't you? I will blame you if you really know your mistakes and don't change them." The Crown Prince's Consort said.
Niu Niu felt the other party's kindness, took two steps towards her, raised her little head and said, "Aunt, you are so kind, as gentle as my mother, I like you."
When the Crown Prince's Consort heard the little girl say this, she immediately didn't hesitate, stretched out her hand, and held the person in her arms.
Sure enough, the little girl smelled as the Crown Prince's Consort imagined, with a milky fragrance.
"What's your name? How old are you this year? Which lady do you live with now?" The Crown Prince's Consort asked.
Niu Niu answered one by one with a well-behaved face.
The Crown Prince's wife looked at her soft little cheek and had to restrain herself from poking it.
"Come in, come in! Don't move! Don't hurt him!"
Suddenly there was a commotion in the yard.
A large group of people came in carrying a little boy covered in blood.
The Crown Prince's Consort just stretched her head out to look outside, then lowered her head and saw Niuniu also looking over there with her big eyes, so she immediately covered the little girl's eyes.
"It's too scary, don't look."
The Crown Prince's Consort said, and turned her head to look at her son, only to find that her son had gotten up from the bed at some point, and stretched his neck to look outside.
"Li Xuan, cover your eyes, don't look around, aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night!" The Crown Prince's Consort scolded.
Li Xuan said helplessly: "Mother, I'm eight years old, not a child anymore, I think this man seems to be Li Shuo."
Li Shuo is the grandson of the King of Qi, about the same age as Li Xuan, and is also one of the royal family children who entered the palace to receive education, because he is deeply loved by the emperor and is a popular candidate for the throne.
"What happened?" The Crown Prince's Consort walked out of her son's room and asked the noisy group of people.
"Li Shuo fell off his horse, breaking a leg and an arm, and his head was also broken!" a child answered.
The Crown Prince's wife couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Aren't the horses you ride docile horses in the archery class? How could he fall so badly?"
The child replied: "The master let us ride horses at will, but Li Shuo didn't ride his own horse. He insisted on trying Li Xuan's Xiaobai. Once he rode on it, the horse went crazy. We don't know why it happened."
The Crown Prince's wife's face changed drastically when she heard this.
