Chapter 385: Changing Face
Who would be a real little white rabbit in the royal family?
When the Crown Princess heard this, she wanted to be patient, but she still showed her relief after surviving the disaster.
She looked back behind her and saw Li Xuan standing with Niuniu, looking out from the house. The two children had the same curiosity on their faces, and they didn't find anything wrong.
The Crown Princess asked the eunuchs who sent people back: "What will happen to the little white horse?"
A little eunuch didn't know the Crown Princess, and only said: "My dear, we are just little eunuchs serving in the horse farm. The little white horse suddenly went crazy today for some reason. The specific reason is still under investigation. As for how to deal with it, the general manager has reported to His Majesty and dare not place it at will."
After hearing this, the Crown Princess did not continue to ask.
These Zong family children have to practice riding and shooting. Although they are all children, they all have their own little habits. Only a very small number of people use the bows and horses prepared by the palace.
For a child like Li Xuan who is loved at home, a special bow and horse have been prepared for him.
Li Xuan's mount is a docile little white horse. It looks ordinary, but in fact, this horse comes from the border and is the descendant of a famous horse. It is of good breed and expensive.
Li Xuan also cherishes this horse very much on weekdays and is unwilling to let others ride it.
The Crown Prince's wife thought in her heart that if Li Xuan had not been hit by Niuniu by accident, the injured person who broke his hands and feet would be Li Xuan.
"Aunt!" Niuniu suddenly shouted.
The Crown Prince's wife was stunned, and her expression was three points softer than before.
"Aunt, I'm going back to have lunch and come back to see Brother Li Xuan." Niuniu said.
Niuniu has been out for a while. Usually this is her lunch time, and now she is a little hungry.
"Okay, you are so good. Be careful on the way back." The Crown Prince's wife advised.
After watching the little girl disappear at the end of the palace road, the Crown Prince's Consort turned around, took her son's hand and went back to the house, and then drove the waiter out.
"Mother?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly.
The Crown Prince's Consort suddenly hugged her son tightly in her arms.
"You this time... you this time... it's all thanks to the little girl... if she hadn't bumped into you like this... you would be the one lying back now!" The Crown Prince's Consort held her son who was intact, and felt that all her luck this year was probably spent on this.
Li Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Mother, do you think Xiaobai is crazy because someone wants to plot against me?"
The Crown Prince's Concubine nodded and said: "If you hadn't had an accident in advance, would you have given Xiaobai to others in today's riding and archery class?"
Li Xuan shook his head and said: "They don't cherish horses like I do, and I don't want to lend Xiaobai to them."
Li Xuan has seen how other classmates whipped horses hard, and he was reluctant to treat his beloved pony like that.
"So, don't think that you were hit by Niuniu, but for this incident today, you have to thank Niuniu later. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have just been scratched." The Crown Prince's Concubine sighed.
Although the Crown Prince's Concubine likes the cute little girl very much, as a mother, how can she feel good when she sees her son injured.
Originally, she still had some blame for Niuniu, but now it has all disappeared.
"I have taken note of mother's teachings. The master once told us that a blessing in disguise may come from a loss." Li Xuan said.
The Crown Princess has always been at ease with her youngest son. She gave birth to three sons. Although Li Xuan is the youngest, he is the most sensible one.
The other sons may still have some naughty performances, but Li Xuan is different. This child is very much like his grandfather who passed away early in his life. He has a calm personality, consistent words and deeds, and is quite gentlemanly.
"Mother, my son was only slightly injured this time. You don't have to worry about him. You should leave the palace early because you are busy at home." Li Xuan took the initiative to say.
It was less than half an hour before and after the Crown Princess entered the palace. Li Xuan urged her to leave because he didn't want her to get more involved in the palace.
Li Xuan actually didn't know how deep the water in the palace was, but he instinctively wanted to protect his mother.
The Crown Princess shook her head and said, "Someone wants to plot against my son. How can I just leave the palace so easily?"
Li Xuan looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.
The Crown Princess just blinked her eyes and tears instantly flowed down.
Li Xuan:?
Li Xuan almost thought he had seen it wrong.
The Crown Princess performed a face-changing show for her son on the spot and said, "My good son, you must remember that everyone in this world has several faces."
After saying this, the Crown Princess turned around and ran out with a handkerchief in her hand. She cried all the way to Shoukang Palace and shouted loudly inside:
"Queen Dowager, I beg you to take charge of my Xuan'er!"
In the room, the Queen Dowager and Niuniu sat at the table to eat.
Although the Queen Dowager also knew that Niuniu had hit someone, she didn't take it seriously in her heart, thinking that it was just a few scratches. Even though the children of the royal family were precious, the good baby of Shoukang Palace was also her favorite.
There is not much difference between the Queen Mother and those old ladies who are partial to their own children.
At this time, she didn't know that the child had fallen off the horse. When she heard that the Prince Consort of Prince Jing was making a fuss outside, she frowned.
"My dear, didn't you say before that the Prince Consort of Prince Jing didn't mean to bother with you? What is she doing now?" The Queen Mother asked unhappily.
Niuniu shook her head: "That beautiful aunt is really good to me. She hugged me and asked many questions. She also said that it's not my fault that Brother Li Xuan was injured."
The Queen Mother frowned and winked at Nanny Sun. She finally let the Crown Prince's Consort enter the palace.
The Crown Prince's Consort was efficient. As soon as she came in, she knelt down and cried: "Queen Mother, please make the decision for me! How could the little white horse go crazy for no reason? Someone must be plotting against my son! Please find out the truth. If the black hand hiding in the dark is not found, I will not be at ease!"
Niuniu was eager to eat as soon as she came back. The Queen Mother didn't know that two accidents had happened in just one morning. The old lady looked very confused.
"The pony in the horse farm went crazy, and a little brother broke his hands and feet." Niuniu explained while eating.
Li Shunfu hurriedly walked in from outside. When he saw the Crown Princess kneeling in the hall, his expression paused, and then he came to the Queen Mother and explained the whole story in detail.
The Queen Mother's first reaction was relief. She originally thought that the Crown Princess came to complain about Niuniu, but she didn't expect it was for something else.
The Crown Princess cried and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, originally everyone in the capital said that Miss Gu was a little lucky star, and I just thought it was a joke, but now I dare not disbelieve it. If it weren't for the little girl of the Gu family, the half-dead person now would be my son!"
